My Silly, Sweet Wife-Chapter 901: Taiji Fiery Fire Formation

Ye Guichen didn't kill Wan Ying, but instead had him assist Su Tong in taking control of Medicine King Valley, thoroughly transforming everyone there into members of the Shennong Sect.

After all, for Ye Guichen, killing was easy, but conquering a place like Medicine King Valley with nearly two thousand people couldn't be easily solved by killing alone.

Wan Ying, being the Deputy Valley Master, despite poisoning Ti'er Taoist, was the best candidate to assist Su Tong in the valley.

Moreover, from Wan Ying's mouth, Ye Guichen learned that the Life Devouring Pill came from the Eternal Life Hall.

It was an Ancient Witchcraft technique that could devour others' vitality and cultivation from a distance.

It was incredibly mysterious.

Ye Guichen, however, wasn't worried about these things.

Even though Hua Fengnu was dead, as long as he could find the right herbs, restoring Ti'er Taoist's cultivation wouldn't be difficult.

After searching the warehouse in Medicine King Valley for a while and finding some herbs that could help Ti'er Taoist recover, Ye Guichen suddenly spotted a pitch-black stick in a corner.

The stick was only about half a meter long, resembling a thoroughly burned firebrand, entirely dark.

"What is that?" Ye Guichen couldn't shake the feeling that the stick was different somehow.

Wan Ying quickly explained: "Mr. Ye, I don't know what that is either; it seems the Valley Master threw it here when the warehouse was first established."

"Is that so?" Ye Guichen, full of doubt, stepped forward and picked up the stick.

It felt cold to the touch, as if vitality was entering his body.

Moreover, for some reason, the fatigue he felt from exerting too much physical strength vanished the moment he touched the stick, revitalizing him.

"A valuable item indeed." Ye Guichen's eyes lit up, realizing this stick seemed more like a plant.

He casually put it away, intending to study it later.

After looking around and finding nothing else unusual, with Su Tong excited in the warehouse, Ye Guichen planned to rest for the night and then leave.

However, Long Yuntai found Ye Guichen and insisted on taking him to see the so-called entrance to the Underworld.

Ye Guichen wasn't interested in such ominous things, but seeing Long Yuntai's hopeful expression, he became intrigued by this place capable of hiding Yin Souls, so he followed him to the far end of Medicine King Valley.

The valley was like a giant funnel.

The narrowest part was the entrance and exit, also the only access point, while the rest formed an arc. Over centuries, the inner buildings now numbered in the thousands, with the central hall facing the valley entrance being especially grand.

Halfway through, a forbidden zone was set up, sealing off the latter half of the valley, guarded by the valley's disciples, with outsiders prohibited from entering.

Ye Guichen also heard from Wan Ying that, when Medicine King Valley was first built, Yin Souls would often cause trouble here, with mysterious deaths occurring at night.

Later, the first Valley Master invited the then top Daoist master, spending a total of forty-nine days setting up a grand array.

After the array was completed, many plants and trees were planted over it, marking it as a forbidden zone.

Every subsequent Valley Master wanted to investigate what was inside.

Yet, everyone who went in fell severely ill, and since then, no one dared to enter again.

"Sect Master, do you know what treasure I discovered inside this time?" Long Yuntai said mysteriously.

Ye Guichen rolled his eyes: "Don't call me Sect Master; I'm not your Sect Master. Besides, once we leave Medicine King Valley, we'll part ways. I'll let it slide that you used Yin Souls to kill so many people this time, but if it happens again, don't blame me for being unforgiving."

Long Yuntai wasn't the least bit afraid; instead, he nodded and smiled, as if he didn't care that Esoteric Sect now had a Sect Master: "Yes, yes, Sect Master is right to reprimand."

Ye Guichen was speechless and said no more, stepping into the forbidden zone.

Upon entering, Ye Guichen felt as if he had stepped into another world, with the dense forest ahead rustling. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

This feeling was extremely subtle.

"Hehe, Sect Master, did you know? This array is called the Taiji Fiery Fire Formation, a formidable ghost-banishing formation in Daoism. Even today's top Daoist like Zhang Chonglou might not set up such a formation."

"Over the years, to get into the array and refine those Yin Souls into the Soul Refining Flag, I've traversed this world comprehending numerous array techniques."

"Initially, I planned to test my Soul Refining Flag on the people of Medicine King Valley before leaving and coming back, but I unexpectedly encountered you, Sect Master."

"Since you are here, I believe the item inside is surely obtainable for you, Sect Master."

Intrigued by Long Yuntai's mystery, Ye Guichen asked: "What, is there something inside?"

"Hehe, since this array can suppress so many Yin Souls, there must be an array eye, which is the core of this Taiji Fiery Fire Formation. Over the years, the array eye has produced something."

Despite not revealing what it was, Long Yuntai quickly moved forward: "Sect Master, follow me, and you'll see shortly."

Long Yuntai moved rapidly, quickly entering the dense forest zone, weaving through the woods.

Ye Guichen swiftly followed.

What surprised Ye Guichen was that the area, despite its vast forest, lacked even a single mosquito.

After a considerable period of traversing, Long Yuntai halted.

In front of Long Yuntai was a well with a diameter of five or six meters.

At the center of the well grew a giant ancient tree, with its canopy completely overshadowing the well's edge.

"Sect Master, this is the place." Long Yuntai excitedly pointed at the ancient tree: "The Yin Souls were imprisoned under this well, while this ancient tree marks the array eye. After using Esoteric Sect's techniques to lure these Yin Souls out and capture them into the Soul Refining Flag, I thought I could showcase its immense power, yet it was ruined by you, Sect Master."

Long Yuntai seemed rather regretful.

The Soul Refining Flag was broken by Ye Guichen, causing the Yin Souls to naturally disperse into the world, returning to the dust and earth, thus posing no further harm.

Ignoring Long Yuntai's chatter, Ye Guichen gazed up at the enormous tree.

Initially, Ye Guichen noticed nothing unusual, but soon realized this tree was highly remarkable.

The tree wasn't just tall and lush; its canopy looked deliberately trimmed, covering the well's edge perfectly.

More bizarrely, in the center of the canopy, it seemed to emit waves of refreshing Spiritual Energy.
