The Enchantress of Medicine, with the Heaven Defying Child, and the Black Belly Father

After saying that, he didn't care about Lin Huai's face and turned to leave.

The other eight people also hurriedly followed suit.

When the scent of the nine people completely disappeared outside the palace, only then did Mu Yan look at Lin Huai and whispered, "Uncle Lin, what exactly happened in the first place? Is it related to my master?"

Lin Huai sighed gently and said in a deep voice, "Come with me, I'll tell you everything that happened back then."

The two of them returned to the dungeon.

Lin Wan was still sleeping peacefully in her bed, sleeping soundly with her mouth slightly open, just like an innocent and lovely little girl.

If you ignore her old, dry face.

"You guessed correctly."

Lin Huai whispered, "The [Otherworldly Yellow Spring Mantra] on your master's body was cast by Wan Er."

He paused for an instant, his voice slightly hoarse, "Little Nine must hate us now, right?"

Mu Yan was startled and shook her head, "I'm not sure. All I know is that for a thousand years, Master Ninth Master hasn't been able to leave that cold Pill Palace. Even if the next person could go in to accompany him, they would have to leave for at most three to five days, otherwise the Yellow Spring Spell of the Other Side would put one into a weak coma."

"I've never experienced a thousand years of loneliness, watching myself become young in the mirror day after day, but if it were me, I don't think I would be able to endure it."

Lin Huai covered his face with his hands and gave a low laugh.

The laughter was indescribably pale.

The room was quiet, and for a long while all that could be heard was Lin Wan's soft snoring.

"Little girl, what's your name?"

"Jun Muyan."

"Muyan." Lin Huai softly pronounced the name, then said, "Do you know what kind of filth is hidden in this Nine Li tribe? And how did your master get involved in this?"

===

A thousand years ago.

In the Land of Immortals, legends of the Nine Li Tribe circulated.

It was a holy land that cultivators could not easily set foot on, and it was the closest location to the gods.

If someone found the Nine Li Tribe and received a gift from the gods, his strength would soar in a short period of time.

However, there were very few people who could receive God's approval.

Most of the monks who broke into the Nine Li Tribe never came back from there.

Slowly, the Nine Li Tribe became a mysterious holy land.

It was revered and feared by all, unreachable but unattainable.

However, only those who were in the Nine Li Tribe and had not been taught those beliefs since childhood knew what a boring and disgusting place it was.

Those who aspired didn't even know that the missing monks weren't martyred on the road to becoming gods at all.

Rather, they were enchanted by the [Soul Snatching Barrier] to become neither human nor ghosts.

Either they would die tragically on the spot, or their souls would be devoured, or they would live out their short lives in a lowly and miserable manner.

Lin Huai's mother was also one of the people who unintentionally broke into the boundary of the Nine Li Tribe.

What made her better than those monks was that she had yin and yang bones.

No one knew why some people had yin and yang bones on their bodies and others didn't.

There were very few people in the world who had pure yin and yang bones.

Everyone in the three realms combined probably couldn't find a hundred of them.

But Lin Huai's mother was exactly one of those ten thousand.

Therefore, she was not turned into an animal, not flesh and blood melted into a skeleton, but was picked up by Lin Huai's "father".

Lin Huai's father also possessed a yin-yang bone, but his yin-yang bone was so mixed up that he couldn't even learn low-grade spells.

Therefore, he could only work as a guard in the Jiuli tribe.
