Hearing Xina Southgate's words, Ian Song was speechless. To put it nicely, Xina was just naive; to put it bluntly, she was brain-dead.
So he said coldly, "Near a Divine Tomb, corpse-miasma from the buried divine being will seep out. Absorbing this miasma will cause your immortal yuan force to coagulate. However, just eat a spirit herb that grows near the tomb, and you'll recover!"
With those words, Ian Song turned and left directly.
"Hey, don't go! Who knows if you're lying to us?" Xina Southgate called after Ian Song's back.
Hearing this, Ian Song's mouth twitched twice. Internally, he thought, this girl isn't just brain-dead—she's got terminal brain-dead cancer. There's no saving her.
Seeing Ian Song walk away without looking back, Xina Southgate said to her two maids, "Little Tu, Little Shuang, go pick three stalks of spirit herb!"
"Yes, Miss!"
The two Earth Immortal maids nodded and went to pick three stalks of spirit herb.
"Should we trust that guy? What if the spirit herb is poisonous?" Xina Southgate muttered to herself.
At that moment, Little Shuang picked up a stalk of spirit herb, chewed it up, and swallowed it.
Seeing this, Xina Southgate was startled. "Little Shuang, how can you eat something so casually? What if it's poisonous?"
"Miss, I don't think that gentleman would lie to us!"
Little Shuang said, then suddenly her face lit up with joy. "Miss, my immortal yuan force has recovered!"
"Really?" Xina Southgate asked.
"Little Shuang would never lie to you, Miss!"
............
Little Shuang said pitifully.
Moreover, the scenery in the Gods' Tomb World was extremely monotonous: gray skies, lifeless plains beneath, endless Baleful Demons everywhere. The terrain was simple—no mountains, no rivers, just boundless flatlands.
Ian Song turned his gaze to Xina Southgate.
"I... I can't do anything!" Xina Southgate said, face burning with shame.
"Sir, you're a good person—please let Miss Xina follow you too!"
Little Shuang pleaded on behalf of Xina Southgate.
But he still couldn't break the restriction fields of completely intact Divine Tombs.
Actually, these Divine Tomb restrictions weren't that complicated, but they were laid down by divines and infused with divine power. So even though he knew how to crack them, he didn't have the strength to do it.
However, as long as even a single outer restriction node of a tomb was damaged, he was confident he could break the entire field. That was his progress.
Leaving the Divine Temple, Ian Song picked a direction and sped off.
After running for about an hour, he suddenly spotted three Immortals ahead being chased by a pack of Baleful Demons.
"Puff!"
"My name is Xina Southgate."
When he got a clear look at the three people he'd saved, he was momentarily stunned—they were actually the same brain-dead Golden Immortal girl and her two maids he'd met before.
In the fifty-plus days since they'd last met, the three women's appearance had changed drastically.
Actually, he didn't know that the Southgate Clan was a big deal in the Yurania Immortal World.
"I never thought we'd meet again!"
Ian Song said.
"It's you!"
The brain-dead Golden Immortal girl looked at Ian Song, a hint of delight flashing across her face. After more than fifty days in this world, she finally realized how brutal it truly was.
Just three days after they'd parted from Ian Song, they were ambushed by three Immortals—a Golden Immortal and two Earth Immortals.
Because they were unprepared, the three attackers managed to catch them off guard.
Fortunately, she had a defensive Immortal Artifact her father had given her, which saved her life.
In the end, her two maids were captured, and their lives were used to force her to hand over her Storage Rings.
With no other choice, she had to hand over her Storage Rings.
But the attackers didn't take her Immortal Artifact.
The reason was simple: in this world, every bit of immortal yuan force is precious. Using an Immortal Artifact consumes a lot of energy, and refining a stolen artifact takes even more. So hardly anyone bothers to rob someone else's Immortal Artifact.
All three of their Storage Rings were stolen.
Without immortal stones to support them, at first they didn't realize how precious immortal yuan force was. But after using it carelessly and being unable to replenish it, their cultivation dropped, and they stopped using it so freely.
They were chased by Baleful Demons several times during this period, which is how they ended up in such a sorry state.
"Can we follow you?"
Suddenly, the Golden Immortal girl asked shyly. You don't know how good you have it until you've had it bad. After a few crises, they realized how lucky they'd been to meet Ian Song when they arrived here. If it had been someone else, they'd probably have been killed for their belongings as soon as their immortal yuan was frozen.
"Why?"
Ian Song asked with a smile.
The Golden Immortal girl added, "Don't worry, once we get back to our Immortal World, I'll have my father give you lots of immortal stones to thank you!"
"You really think you can go back?"
Ian Song replied playfully. He hadn't expected that after all these days, the Golden Immortal girl was still making empty promises.
At that, the Golden Immortal girl's expression froze.
Little Tu suddenly said, "Sir, please, let us follow you. Little Shuang and I are both really good at serving people!"
"Yes, sir, we're really good at serving people!"
Little Shuang said pitifully.
"Alright, you two can follow me! As for you—what can you do?"
Ian Song turned his gaze to the Golden Immortal girl.
"I... I can't do anything!" the Golden Immortal girl said, face burning with shame.
"Sir, you're a good person—please let Miss follow you too!"
Little Shuang pleaded on behalf of the Golden Immortal girl.
"Fine, you can all come with me!"
Ian Song couldn't be bothered to tease them anymore. He tossed each of them a hundred immortal stones. "Go clean yourselves up!"
Once the three women had tidied themselves up, Ian Song asked, "Do you know if there's any Immortal gathering place in this world?"
Xina Southgate replied, "We've heard there's a city five hundred thousand li ahead!"
"Really?"
Ian Song was a bit surprised; he'd only asked casually, not expecting they actually knew. "By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Nan Cheng Xin'er."
"Oh!"
Ian Song nodded, sent out a wave of energy to sweep the three women up, and headed toward the gathering place they'd mentioned.
Actually, he didn't know that the Southgate Clan was a big deal in the Yurania Immortal World.
He didn't let any Divine Tomb along the way pass by without investigating.
When he'd traveled forty thousand li with the three women, he finally found a Divine Tomb with a damaged restriction field. Ian Song was overjoyed.
