A person is cultivating immortality, and at the beginning he is madly favored by the villain

Chapter 318

As Zhong Xian stared at his surroundings, he noticed that some plant seeds that looked like fluff were approaching them. In order to avoid them being poisonous, he raised his hand and released a ball of magic energy, burning them all clean.

Who would have thought that he was distracted for just a moment, and when he turned around, Xiao Xier was gone.

"Xiao Xi'er!"

He immediately jumped off the spirit boat and prepared to look for someone. Just as he rushed a few steps in the direction where Yu Xi disappeared, he saw Yu Xi's fox head emerging from a bunch of gathered bushes, and he shook off two fallen leaves when his ears stood up.

When she saw him, Yu Xi's eyes lit up, and she jumped and waved, as if signaling him to come over.

Zhong Xian hurried over and saw Ji Zhi squatting next to Yu Xi, staring straight at a person with only half of his body left.

"Brother, look at this man."

Seeing Zhong Xian coming over, Yu Xi hurriedly pulled him closer to the person who was about to attack her and said:

"He has no sense of pain, can't communicate, and keeps trying to attack me. I just checked him with my magic energy and found that his heart is still beating, so he's alive, but his other internal organs have rotted away."

Zhong Xian was a little surprised when he heard this: "Except for the heart, all other internal organs are rotten?"

As he spoke, he also checked the man and found that judging from his physical condition, he should have been dead, but his heart was still beating very weakly and was very aggressive.

Zhong Xian vaguely felt that he had heard of such a person somewhere before.

He thought carefully and suddenly remembered his mermaid friend from the past. He once drank with him under the moon in the pond and talked to him about mermaid flesh while drunk.

According to legend, mermaid flesh can make people immortal, so mermaids were hunted on a large scale.

But in fact, mermaid flesh cannot make people immortal, but it can indeed bring people back to life.

However, this kind of resurrection does not bring people back to life, but only makes their hearts beat again. Most people who come back to life in this way are unable to move, and are no different from the living dead. After a long time, their bodies will rot, so it is better for them to die and suffer less.

The condition of the person in front of him was no different from that of someone who had eaten mermaid flesh. Except for the heart, all other organs had rotted away.

But the person who ate the mermaid flesh was unable to move, and the person in front of him was very aggressive.

What's more... the mermaids have long been extinct.

Zhong Xian was not sure what to make of the person in front of him who had lost his limbs and was still biting people, so he simply called Su Xianyun.

Su Xianyun examined the mottled moss on the man's face, raised his hand and touched his rotting body, and quickly confirmed:

"He's a medicine man."

Hearing this, Ji Zhi almost jumped up: "Same as me?!"

"Different."

Su Xianyun pursed his lips, and after organizing his words several times in his mind, he said, "He has been dead for a long time."

As he said that, Su Xianyun directly cut the man's neck with the magic thread. The man's movement of wanting to bite suddenly froze, and then he slowly closed his mouth and became completely motionless.

At the same time, the man-eating grass growing around began to bloom, and the colorful flowers with small thorns filled the field of vision.

A large number of man-eating bees swarmed over and dragged the long-rotten corpse towards the nearby man-eating grass.

Su Xianyun watched the man-eating bees drag the corpse away, then looked at Ji Zhi again and said, "He was a medicine man, but the effects of the medicine on his body have all disappeared. Only a piece of rotten meat remains."

I don’t know what the people from Xuanxing Sect are up to.

Yu Xi was puzzled: "If he was just a dead man who could move, why would he attack me?"

Hearing Yu Xi's question, Su Xianyun gently lowered his body and said softly:

"His body was soaked in various poisonous weeds, some of which contain toxins that are difficult to excrete. These toxins made his body move and gave him the urge to bite and devour people."

As he spoke, he saw Ji Zhi blinking his clear eyes and looking at him, so he added seriously: "Although they both want to eat, Ji Zhi is just greedy and only has food on his mind, so it's completely different."

Jizhi couldn't help but pout. He felt like he was being scolded, but he couldn't wrap his mind around it.

When Zhong Xian heard Su Xianyun say this, a thought suddenly occurred to his mind, and he subconsciously asked, "The poison you just mentioned, if you add mermaid flesh..."

Having said that, he suddenly exhaled, and interrupted himself with a low laugh, "What am I talking about? How do you know about mermaids..."

"It's said that mermaid flesh can restart a person's heart. Combined with the effects of the poison, it's indeed possible to create a living corpse."

Su Xianyun thought and said aloud.

He didn't notice at all that Zhong Xian's expression changed in an instant.

"How do you know the real use of mermaid flesh?" Zhong Xian asked.

Isn’t this the secret of the mermaid clan?

Su Xianyun was puzzled and said, "It's written in the book, haven't you read the 'Record of Demons and Ghosts'?"

Zhong Xian had a photographic memory, so of course he knew this: "The content about mermaids in the Record of Demons and Ghosts is not about resurrection, but about immortality."

"What you are reading is something that Master has not annotated."

Su Xianyun said seriously, "In the library, there is the Demonic and Ghost Record annotated by Master."

Yu Xi also nodded at this time and said, "Brother, it is true. Mother did make a revision to the "Record of Demons and Ghosts" and wrote that mermaid flesh was misunderstood by the world."

Zhong Xian had read the book "Record of Demons and Ghosts" before, so he had not read the "Record of Demons and Ghosts" annotated by Luo Chunxi. He was speechless for a moment when he heard this. He did not expect that Luo Chunxi even knew the secrets of the mermaids.

But because it was Luo Chunxi, it seemed reasonable for her to know all this.

"I'll read it when I get back." Zhong Xian held his neck and laughed out loud, and he used to read with the enthusiasm he used to have: "No, I want to read all the books in the library."

Yu Xi also smiled, but quickly stopped smiling and said, "So there are still mermaids in this world?"

Zhong Xian shook his head: "No, the mermaids should have become extinct, but perhaps the immortal sect has found other ways to replace mermaid flesh."

After all, his friend had said at the time that mermaid flesh was not irreplaceable, nor was it rare enough to be called a treasure.

When Zhong Xian mentioned this, Su Xianyun suddenly remembered that when he and Gu An went to Fengya Pavilion, they heard that the cultivators of Yuanshan Sect wanted to find mermaid blood, and it seemed that this was not the first time they were looking for it.

He was about to tell Zhong Xian this when Gu An happened to come over from the other side and said from a distance:

"Senior Sister, I found the source of the ancient giant vine's growth!"

As he spoke, he hurried over. When he saw Su Xianyun and the others were there, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly put it aside and continued:

"But it's very narrow, with only various plants. I don't see any signs of human life, and it doesn't look like a place where people can live nearby."
