Ye Fei remained in a deep coma, showing no signs of waking up.
"Senior Sister, given Brother Ye's current condition, it would be best to return and have him treated immediately!" Di Ming said with concern.
"You're right. If it weren't for us, Brother Ye wouldn't have sustained such severe injuries. It's all my fault!" The Senior Sister was consumed by self-blame.
At this moment, Ye Fei had already refined eighty percent of the medicinal effects of the pill. Although he was still unable to wake up, he could hear their words.
"Without further delay, I will take Brother Ye back to seek medical attention. No matter what, I will definitely cure Brother Ye!" the Senior Sister declared with conviction.
Ye Fei felt anxious in his heart, then he broke through the last barrier and suddenly opened his eyes.
"Brother Ye, you're awake?"
"That's wonderful, truly wonderful!" Di Ming was the first to notice Ye Fei had woken up.
"Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, I've caused you worry. I'm alright now!" Although his body was still weak, the demonic poison had been temporarily suppressed. What he needed to do now was to find the antidote herb as quickly as possible and completely eradicate the demonic poison.
"Brother, this time it's my fault for implicating you!"
"Don't worry, I, your Senior Sister, will take full responsibility!" the Senior Sister said with utmost seriousness.
Seeing her earnest expression, Ye Fei couldn't help but find it amusing.
"Senior Sister, there's no need for that. The pill you gave me earlier has already suppressed the demonic poison in my body. As long as I find the ingredient called Sky Demon Flower and refine the Sky Demon Pill, I can clear the demonic poison from my body!" Ye Fei explained.
"What?"
"Sky Demon Pill?"
"What kind of pill is that?"
"How have I never heard of it!"
"You're not just saying that to comfort me, are you?" The Senior Sister was bewildered. Although she was a sword cultivator, her family had several alchemists, but she had never heard of this so-called Sky Demon Pill. Moreover, if such a pill existed, wouldn't they have a way to counter the demon race's toxins? Thinking of this, the Senior Sister became immensely excited.
"Senior Sister, if you don't believe me, then just wait and see!"
"If you're willing, you can accompany me to search for the Sky Demon Flower!"
"Seeing is believing, what do you say?" Of course, he had his own considerations for saying this. After all, with his current cultivation, venturing out alone would still be somewhat difficult. If his Senior Sister were there, it would be foolproof. Thus, he shamelessly asked.
"Brother Ye, even if you hadn't said it, I would have gone with you!"
"Otherwise, I truly wouldn't be able to rest easy!" the Senior Sister said with a smile.
With that, everyone sat down on the ground, closed their eyes, and rested. After a full day of fighting, everyone slept soundly. The next day, they split into two groups and set off separately.
"Brother Ye, Senior Sister, see you at the sect!" Di Ming said, cupping his fists.
"Farewell!" After bidding each other farewell, they departed on their respective journeys. Di Ming and the others continued their search for materials to forge the Sword Casting Pool. After watching Di Ming and the others leave, Ye Fei and his Senior Sister finally embarked on their journey to find the Sky Demon Flower.
"Brother, do you know the habits of this Sky Demon Flower?" the Senior Sister asked proactively, to avoid a fruitless search.
"Senior Sister, rest assured, I am very clear about it."
"I've read about the Sky Demon Flower in the records before."
"This Sky Demon Flower prefers shade over sun and grows near cold ponds. From my observations just now, as long as we keep walking to the right, we will surely find traces of this Sky Demon Flower!" The Senior Sister did not object and followed Ye Fei's directions, and the two quickly headed to the right. The two chased each other, and it was clear that the surrounding soil was becoming increasingly moist, the air temperature was dropping, and there was a faint fragrance.
"Senior Sister, I seem to have smelled the unique fragrance of the Sky Demon Flower!"
"It should be around here!"
"We must be careful!"
"There might be demonic beasts guarding the Sky Demon Flower!" Ye Fei said cautiously. The Senior Sister immediately became more vigilant. The two continued forward without speaking. Finally, after walking for another half an hour, the fragrance in the air grew stronger. And not far from them, a very wide deep pond appeared. White mist floated above the deep pond, and it was surrounded by many strange flowers and grasses. The most eye-catching among them was the Sky Demon Flower, swaying in the wind, its colors extremely vibrant.
"Found it!"
"The rosy-colored one is it!"
"That's great, there's such a large patch of Sky Demon Flowers here!" Ye Fei murmured in delight. Nevertheless, he did not advance further. After all, the scene was somewhat strange. It was so quiet all around, with not a sound, which was very peculiar!
"Be careful, I feel something is not right!"
"It's too quiet all around!" Extreme situations breed extreme reactions, and Ye Fei was very concerned that some great danger awaited them.
"Me too, my heart is in my mouth, I always feel like something bad is about to happen!" Despite this, with the Sky Demon Flower right before them, even if it was a mountain of knives and a sea of fire ahead, he had to try!
"Senior Sister, wait here, I'll go check it out alone!" Ye Fei whispered.
"Let me go instead!"
"If there are demonic beasts lurking, I can at least escape in time!" The Senior Sister disagreed. But in the end, she couldn't dissuade Ye Fei and had to let him go alone. She continued to observe everything around them from behind. Meanwhile, Ye Fei, after using several cloud-walking steps, quickly arrived near the deep pond. As soon as he stepped on the ground, Ye Fei felt something was amiss. His first reaction was to immediately use his movement technique and retreat. But the speed of the subsidence was too fast! There was a trap! Ye Fei exclaimed in surprise.
"Brother Ye!" Seeing that her junior brother had fallen into the trap due to a moment of carelessness, the Senior Sister rushed forward and then jumped down voluntarily.
"Brother Ye, I'm coming!" Due to the extreme height of the underground trap, even their voices began to echo.
"Senior Sister, be careful!"
"I'll wait for you at the bottom first!"
