Le Zhongping said, "Then I'm even more confused. What's really going on here?"

Li Yi said, "These two events must be orchestrated by someone behind the scenes, but we don't yet know their intentions. Let's just wait and see. Dixinlan and Lianhua Bumie won't fully trust us, so let them worry about it. For now, we should focus on Lu Zheng. I noticed that the seal you placed in his meridians has disappeared. What should we do about the Six Senses Yin Poison in his body? Will another seal still be effective?"

Le Zhongping replied, "It can be done, but the seal I originally placed could prevent the Six Senses Yin Poison from acting up for three years. Now, if we place another seal, it might only last for one year!"

Li Yi frowned, "One year? That fast?"

Le Zhongping, however, didn't seem overly anxious. He took a deep breath and said, "One year isn't a big problem. I've already figured out how to cure the Six Senses Yin Poison, but I'm not sure if I can gather all the necessary herbs within a year! But..." Le Zhongping then said to Li Yi with a hint of ambiguity, "If it really comes to that, we might have to ask Mr. Li to make a trip to Baihua Valley!"

At the mention of Baihua Valley, a figure flashed through Li Yi's mind, and a strange redness appeared on his face. Seeing Le Zhongping's mischievous smile, he was so embarrassed and angry that he was about to lash out. Le Zhongping quickly reined in his smile, took two steps back, and said, "Hey, don't be angry. I didn't mean to tease you. I'm telling the truth."

Li Yi's raised hand hung in the air for a long time, his expression changing. Finally, he huffed and let it fall, stomped his foot, and turned to leave, saying, "If you really need to go to Baihua Valley, let me know."

Le Zhongping knew that although Li Yi looked serious, he was also very sensitive. He didn't expect Li Yi to be so embarrassed that he would run away. He couldn't help but call out to Li Yi's back, "Hey, being loved is a good thing, especially by a delicate and beautiful lady. I envy you so much!"

Li Yi's voice came from outside the door, "Le Zhongping, you're being hated!"

When Lu Zheng woke up, he found himself lying in the Tianyuan Difang Pavilion again. His teacher, Mr. Le, and Xin'er were all around him. The scene was exactly the same as when he first entered the thatched cottage, and he felt a bit embarrassed. He thought to himself, "I'm really not strong enough. Why did I faint again?"

Seeing Lu Zheng wake up, Xin'er exclaimed happily, "Big brother, you're awake again! You're such a big lazybones, falling asleep on the ground all the time. The teacher had to carry you to the bed."

Lu Zheng's face turned red, knowing that Xin'er was teasing him. He said, "I remember I was shooting arrows, and I don't know why I fainted... Mr. Le, what's wrong with me?"

Le Zhongping asked, "Lu Zheng, did you see anything strange or anyone before you fainted?"

Strange things, or anyone? Lu Zheng thought carefully. Before he fainted, he didn't see anything strange. He was focusing hard on the target, which seemed to grow larger and larger. It must have been the small supernatural power acting up. The target itself wasn't strange, and he didn't see anyone else.

So, Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "Before I fainted, I was just shooting arrows. I didn't see anything strange, and I was alone. I didn't see anyone else."

At this, he suddenly remembered the strange dream and the six golden dragons in it. They could be considered strange things. But he had promised the big golden dragon not to tell anyone about their existence. Moreover, Mr. Le was asking about what he saw before he fainted, and he saw the golden dragons after he fainted. So, he didn't feel like he was lying. He didn't want to hide or deceive his teacher and Mr. Le.

Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Le Zhongping thought, "The person who broke the formation is at a level beyond all methods. Even I might not have noticed his presence, let alone Lu Zheng." He then said, "Lu Zheng, you fainted because the seal I placed in your body loosened. I've already set a new seal, so there won't be any problems this time. Don't worry." He and Li Yi had discussed it and decided not to tell Lu Zheng many things, including his background, so he used this reason to explain.

Lu Zheng thought, "That makes sense. No wonder I saw the target grow larger before I fainted. It must have been because the seal loosened, and the Six Senses Yin Poison acted up, triggering the small supernatural power." He felt he had figured it out.

Of course, the truth was not like that. The day Lu Zheng saw the target grow larger was because he focused his vision on the target, unintentionally activating the true Heavenly Eye supernatural power by using the power of the six golden dragons. It wasn't just a small supernatural power. Moreover, the illusionary formation was broken because of the Heavenly Eye supernatural power. The Heavenly Eye supernatural power has a characteristic: when cultivated to a very high level, it can break all illusions in the world!

The reason Lu Zheng could activate the power of the six golden dragons was closely related to his recent state of mind. The words Xin'er said under the Jinbola flower helped him let go of the fear and sadness of losing his ninth brother. According to Mr. Le and Li Yi, Lu Zheng had accidentally entered a state of unobstructed mind.

With no fear or worry in his heart, clear and free, Lu Zheng was able to connect with the six golden dragons and use their supernatural power to break the illusionary formation in the Riyue Cottage. This also showed the strength of the six golden dragons' supernatural power.

Of course, Lu Zheng was unaware of all this. Even Li Yi and Le Zhongping, who were at a level beyond all methods and had broad knowledge, couldn't see any signs because they didn't know about the six golden dragons. They were guessing that a high-level person at a level beyond all methods had acted. So, only the big golden dragon truly understood everything.

However, the big golden dragon didn't want Lu Zheng to tell others about their existence, and there must be some secret behind it.

Lu Zheng, knowing that the Six Senses Yin Poison had acted up because the seal loosened, remembered that Mr. Le had said the poison wouldn't be a problem in the short term when he set the seal. He wondered why the seal had suddenly loosened. He asked, "Mr. Le, why did the seal you set loosen? Is there a change in the poison in my body? Mr. Le, it's okay, just tell me directly!"

When Lu Zheng said this, there was no fear in his eyes. Mr. Le saw this and thought, "This child is much stronger than when he first came." He smiled and said, "Of course, there has been a change. Even with the meridians and divine energy sealed, it's not a guarantee of safety. I was too confident before! I didn't expect the Yin Poison to change so much, which led to the seal loosening. But don't worry, Lu Zheng. In a while, I'll gather all the herbs, and then I can completely cure you."

Le Zhongping's frank admission that he had underestimated the change in the Yin Poison greatly relieved Lu Zheng. Hearing that the herbs would be gathered soon, he felt completely at ease. Although he was braver than before and less fearful, he wasn't ready to face death.

Xin'er had been very worried about Lu Zheng. Hearing that the herbs would be gathered soon, she also felt relieved. She said, "Uncle Le, Xin'er knew you were the most capable. You'll definitely cure big brother!"

Le Zhongping smirked, "Flatterer, what if Uncle Le can't cure your big brother?"

Xin'er laughed, "How could there be a disease Uncle Le can't cure? Oh, I know, there is one disease Uncle Le can't cure!"

Le Zhongping, curious and不服气 (unwilling to admit defeat), asked, "What disease? Tell me!"
