Chapter 2515: Sky-high Fees

Although not much time had passed, Feng Wuhen had already completely experienced the terrifying nature of this poison.

Generally speaking, the higher the cultivation, the more one disregards ordinary poisons, and this is even more so after reaching the Dongxu Realm. Relying on a powerful Physical Body and vast Qi, one can disregard most toxins.

However, the Ghost Owl's poison was extremely potent. Although he resisted with all his might, the toxin continued to advance, almost ignoring his Qi.

At this rate, it was only a matter of time before the poison took effect and he died.

Feng Wuhen had previously witnessed Ye Bufan's Medical skill. He believed that if he could even cure a damaged Dantian, he could also help him detoxify. In desperation, he could only set aside his pride and ask for help.

Although Feng Boli did not speak, his heart stirred. Relying on his powerful cultivation, he barely suppressed the poison in his body, but it was only a temporary suppression.

If it couldn't be expelled from the body as soon as possible, death by poison was only a matter of time.

Based on his many years of rich experience, this poison was extremely potent, and ordinary doctors could not suppress it.

If this Young man could detoxify it, that would definitely be a great thing. At that time, he would also ask for help.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, "Of course, I am a doctor, and treating people is a very normal thing."

"Really? Thank you so much, Ye Yixian!"

Feng Wuhen was full of excitement, apparently not expecting the other party to be so agreeable.

A playful smile formed on Ye Bufan's lips, "No need to thank me. I am a doctor, and treating and saving people requires a fee."

Feng Wuhen was slightly stunned, then immediately said, "Okay, how much do you want?"

"One Storage Ring."

Ye Bufan glanced at the ring on his hand, "Give me this, and I'll help you detoxify and save your life."

"I… how can you charge like this? I've never seen such a thing in all these years."

Feng Wuhen almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. This was the first time in so many years he had heard of someone charging for treatment based on Storage Rings.

For a Cultivator, giving up a Storage Ring meant losing everything, with no difference.

"That's because you haven't met me. If you had met me earlier, you would have seen it."

Ye Bufan glanced at Feng Boli next to him, "You too, if you want to detoxify and save your life, hand over the Storage Ring in your hand."

These two came all this way showing off in front of him. How could he not make them pay a price?

Feng Boli's expression changed, "That's absolutely impossible!"

His belongings from all these years, and the Spiritual Plants he collected from the Ten-Tier Tongtian Tower this time, were all inside the ring. How could he easily give them to someone?

Feng Wuhen also chimed in, "Yes, your price is too expensive."

"There's a reason for the high price, because only I can cure your illness."

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, "Is the Ghost Owl's poison that easy to cure? Even if you crush the teleportation jade token and return outside the Tower now, no one will be able to cure your poison.

When you die, the Storage Ring on your hand will naturally belong to someone else. It's better to take it out now and exchange it for your life."

"This…"

Feng Wuhen's expression changed. He knew the other party was right, but he was still a bit reluctant to give up all his possessions at once.

Feng Boli said, "Young man, are you trying to scare me? I don't believe that no one else can cure the Ghost Owl's poison besides you!"

"You don't believe it? Then I'll tell you, the only way to cure the Ghost Owl's poison is to consume its inner core."

As Ye Bufan spoke, he flipped his wrist, and a black inner core appeared in his palm.

"This is it. As long as you eat it, the poison in your body will be immediately resolved.

If you are confident that you can hunt down a Ghost Owl, or obtain this item from elsewhere, you can naturally cure yourselves.

Choose between money and life. I don't have time to waste with you here."

"I…"

Feng Boli held the teleportation jade token in his palm. His previous idea was to go out and seek help from others, but then he thought Ye Bufan's words made perfect sense.

Not to mention that he wouldn't be able to find a Ghost Owl outside, even if there was a Ghost Owl here, what could he do? He would only be sending himself to his death.

"I choose life!"

Feng Wuhen was the first to give in. He also didn't believe he had the ability to catch a Ghost Owl, let alone extract its inner core.

Compared to that, his own life was more important. He directly took off his Storage Ring and handed it over.

Ye Bufan casually put away the ring, then threw out the inner core in his hand.

Feng Wuhen took it and swallowed it without hesitation. Soon, a fishy and foul odor filled his mouth, making his internal organs churn, and he almost vomited.

But then, a warm current rose from his Dantian, quickly circulating through every Meridian in his body, expelling all the previously invading toxins.

He looked down, and his arm, which had been as black as ink before, had now completely returned to normal.

"It's good, I'm really good!"

Feng Wuhen shouted excitedly, feeling the joy of surviving a great disaster.

Seeing this scene, Feng Boli also let go of his persistence. He sighed deeply, took off the Storage Ring on his hand, and threw it over.

In the face of life, even a Mahayana stage powerhouse like him had to bow his head.

Ye Bufan took the Storage Ring, threw the other inner core over, and then scanned both rings with his Divine Sense.

Feng Wuhen's ring was rather ordinary, containing only some Spiritual Plants and High-Grade Spirit Stones, but Feng Boli's indeed made his eyes light up—there were actually ten Top-Grade Spirit Stones inside.

If he were to say what he liked most now, it would naturally be Top-Grade Spirit Stones, as only these could have an effect on his cultivation.

Although the quantity was not too much, it was a small gain, and he casually put it into the Dragon King Palace.

Feng Boli swallowed the inner core, and soon all the toxins in his body were also dispelled.

Ye Bufan glanced at the uncle and nephew, "With your strength, you don't have the qualifications to stay here at all. I advise you to leave quickly. This is not a place you can come to!"

"Uh…"

Feng Boli felt as if he had been slapped hundreds of times, his face burning.

Before, he was full of pride and confidence, wanting to take them to the Eighth Level, but along the way, he was repeatedly humiliated, each time worse than the last.

In the end, he even gave up all his possessions to save his life. In this situation, even if Ye Bufan didn't say anything, he wouldn't dare to continue forward.

Not to mention going to the Seventh Layer, even the Ghost Owl on this layer was far from what he could handle.

Thinking of this, he sighed and directly crushed the teleportation jade token in his hand.

Feng Wuhen was the same. How could he dare to stay here any longer? He also crushed the teleportation jade token and left the Tongtian Tower.

The two of them arrived arrogantly, but left empty-handed.

Not only did they hand over all the Spiritual Plants they collected, but they didn't even have a single hair left of the Spirit Stones and treasures they brought in earlier. It could be said that they were utterly humiliated.

Ye Bufan and the others continued to advance. With the life detector in hand, everything became much simpler.

He was responsible for searching, and Leng Qingqiu was responsible for killing. Soon, they killed three more Ghost Owls.

These creatures were very intelligent and seemed to sense that this group of people was not to be trifled with. The other Ghost Owls no longer approached.

On this Sixth Layer, the Spiritual Plants collected, both in terms of age and variety, were much more abundant than on the lower five layers. They gained a lot along the way.

Two more hours passed, and suddenly, several figures appeared before them. One of them wore a red mask and had a graceful figure—it was Yi Luoxiang of Jueqing Valley.
