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

His teeth chattered for a long while before he continued, "At that time, both Little Nine and I lost our minds. I was already going insane, and recklessly contacted the original clan leader, led the temple guards, and attacked the Nine Li Divine Hall."

Mu Yan turned to look at Lin Huai, "What happened after that?"

Lin Huai smiled bitterly, "You saw the result later. Because the Nine Li Envoy and the Nine Li Tribe are closely related and their fates are linked, the old patriarch withdrew his hand at a critical moment, and as a result, we lost our efforts."

"Little Nine fell into their hands and was put under the almost inexorable [Yin God Curse], his body grew a little old and decayed, and his cultivation regressed step by step."

"In order to save Little Nine, we had to compromise. A deal was made with the Nine Li Messenger. I gave them the supreme treasure [Sacred Heavenly Bone] that originally belonged to the Temple's protection. And they returned Little Nine to me."

Mu Yan was stunned, "Sacred Heavenly Bone?"

Lin Huai nodded, "All of us from the Nine Li Tribe are extremely fast at improving our cultivation, and everyone is born with the ability to practice spells, not only because we have yin and yang bones in our bodies, but also because the existence of the [Sacred Heavenly Bone] radiates throughout the entire Nine Li Tribe, and is constantly giving us empowerment and life-changing nourishment."

Saying so, Mu Yan immediately reacted.

This [Sacred Heavenly Bone] should be the [Yin-Yang Bone] that the Nine Li Messenger, or the Nine Li Nu and the others had extracted from Chu Miaoli's mother.

Lin Huai wiped his face and said, "Although we traded the [Sacred Heavenly Bone] for Xiao Jiu, the [Yin God Curse] on his body cannot be lifted. The [Yin God Mantra] is the highest level spell in the Nine Li Tribe, and a person who has been hit by it will die after seven days and seven nights of pain. I searched for spellcasters from the entire Nine Li Tribe and even begged to go before Li Yan, but all the answers I got were - certain death."

"Wan'er was so grief-stricken that she finally actually found a long forbidden method from the ancient books of the Holy Temple to save Little Nine's life."

Mu Yan's eyelids jumped violently and slowly said, "The [Yellow Spring Mantra on the Other Side]?"

"Yes." Lin Huai said mute, "The Yellow Spring Mantra of the Other Side is a forbidden spell that has never been cast before and only exists in the ancient records. However, it has a characteristic that it can be exchanged with any kind of spell in this world. Because the [Yellow Spring Mantra of the Other Shore] described in the ancient records is more painful and venomous than any other spell in the world, once you fall under the [Yellow Spring Mantra of the Other Shore], it's like being in an icy hell forever and you can't free yourself."

Mu Yan felt as if her heart was being gripped by a hand.

When she thought of that icy Pill Palace and the Little Nine Masters who were trapped in it forever, she felt unexplainable heartache and suffocation.

Lin Huai's eyes reddened as he looked at the fast laughing woman in the boudoir and murmured, "Do you feel that Little Nine has lived a very, very hard life, but Wan Er has suffered a thousand times more than him all these years."

"Wan Er transitioned the [Yin God Mantra] to herself, so she sent Little Nine back to the [Pill Palace]. The moment the [Otherworldly Yellow Spring Mantra] took effect, the space he was in was his eternal hell, and no one could stay with him for long, and he couldn't leave."

"But at least, he's still alive, isn't he? Compared to just seven days, Little Nine he has lived for another thousand years."

Muyan said softly, "Did Aunt Wanda become like that today because she was under the [Yin God Curse]?"

"Yes and no."
