Chapter 196 - 195: Universal Detoxification Pill
Sun Essence Fire, Red Flame Stone, Golden Crow Velvet, Moonlight Sanqing Water, Star Destiny Sky Stone…
After The Red Crow Furnace finished speaking, these words suddenly appeared in my mind.
As random as these words seemed, they all shared a common characteristic:
They were the raw materials for crafting the Red Crow Furnace.
The Red Crow Furnace shuddered at the thought of it becoming raw materials.
“Maybe I’m hallucinating because I’ve been practicing alchemy excessively?” It shook its furnace cover, the only way it knew to express self-doubt. “Is there any Heart-soothing Grass nearby?”
The boy had a troubled expression: “To answer the Human Emperor, the primary use of Heart-soothing Grass is as an antidote for Decomposing
Poison. However, since your suggestion to release a Universal Detoxification
Pill, normal poisons can be neutralized by the Detoxification Pill. Discussing Decomposing Poison might seem frightening, but it’s effective for practitioners only below the Golden Core Stage; it’s a general poison, and doesn’t exceed the medicinal effect range of the Detoxification Pill.”
“Also, Heart-soothing Grass grows in the Southern Border, and it’s hard to preserve after being uprooted; it needs to be soaked in Rootless Water, which can be quite expensive.”
“Almost no one needs Heart-soothing Grass now, and even the major business groups don’t stock it. It’s just us in Alchemy Peak, who thought about developing other uses for Heart-soothing Grass, that we have it stored in our herb storage, and as you heard, the peak master ate all we had.”
“If you’re looking for Heart-soothing Grass, maybe the Herb Sect has some stored. If they don’t, then it’s just in the Southern Border.”
Having heard the boy mention the Universal Detoxification Pill, it suddenly dawned on Jiang Li that indeed there was such a thing.
Back when Jiang Li was only at the Golden Core Stage, he was sneakily poisoned by an enemy. Fortunately, he overcame extreme adversity, broke his limit, shattered his core to form a nascent soul, and dissolved the poison crisis.
Ever since then, Jiang Li has paid a lot of attention to poisons.
He thought that he had luckily broken through and hadn’t died during his quest for immortality due to his exceptional talent. But how many talented cultivators had died from poisoning before and after him?
This was a great pity.
Poison cultivators and Gu cultivators were comparable, both could easily slip into the demonic path.
However, Jiang Li couldn’t hinder the study of poisons just because it easily became demonic.
Poison cultivators could use themselves to test poisons and eventually cultivate the Ten Thousand Poisons Body without harming anyone else.
So after Jiang Li became the Human Emperor, he used the funds of the Imperial Palace to hire both Alchemy Peak and the Herb Sect to research a pill that could neutralize all kinds of poisons.
These funds were sourced from the spirit stones submitted by all the major empires and sects to the Imperial Palace to maintain its operation, cultivation of its members, peace in the Nine States, and so on.
Saying it could deal with all kinds of poisons was an exaggeration, as it was only effective for those below the Golden Core Stage.
As for Nascent Soul Stage poison that could permeate the soul, there wasn’t a single pill that could neutralize all kinds; it could only be treated symptomatically.
At last, Alchemy Peak lived up to the expectation and researched the Universal Detoxification Pill, which could neutralize all poisons below the Golden Core Stage, but was expensive.
As expected, the Herb Sect researched the Hundred Use Detoxification Pill, which could neutralize most poisons below the Golden Core Stage, and was more affordable.
These actions irritated many malicious poison cultivators who vented their anger for an afternoon.
They began by discussing assassinating Jiang Li, then discussing escape routes, and finally discussing the price of the Corpse-Driving Sect buying corpses and managed to calm down.
“Kong Hu, are you near the Southern Border?” Jiang Li called to the Chief of the Imperial Palace.
Zhang Konghu, who was deep within the North Sea training his body, was not using his cultivation base, and even dissolved his three-in-one state, using his physical body to withstand the pressure of the deep sea and find a chance to break through to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.
The North Sea Dragon King was learning humbly, trying to find inspiration from Zhang Konghu’s body cultivation method and perfect the “Jiang Li Human Emperor Strength”.
“Southern Border? I’ve just returned from visiting my relatives in the Southern Border.” said Zhang Konghu, “Brother Jiang, do you want me to return to the Southern Border again?
“Nevermind.” Zhang Konghu had just come from the Southern Border to the North Sea. It wasn’t necessary to make him hustle back like a dog chasing its tail.
Only then did Jiang Li recall that Zhang Konghu’s hometown was in the Southern Border.
The three specialty products of Southern Border: Gu, Poison, and Shamanism.
“Ma Zhuo, both of you Imperial Guard leaders, are you near the Southern Border?”
Ma Zhuo lowered his voice and said to Jiang Li: “Brother Jiang, what’s the matter? My spouse and I are attending a lecture at the Union Sect.”
Jiang Li faintly heard a lecture from Ma Zhuo’s side.
“Today we will learn two idioms, ‘Hit the Nail on the Head’, ‘Old Trees Spread Roots’…”
Jiang Li decisively hung up the Remote Communication Talisman.
“Wood Imperial Guard leader, are you…currently in the Southern Border?” Jiang Li looked at the scenery on Wood’s side, somewhat surprised, as he didn’t expect such a coincidence.
The lush forest was filled with poisonous creatures and spiritual herbs. The freedom amidst all the sounds of nature was precisely the biggest feature of the Southern Border.
Of course, Jiang Li recognized that Wood was in the Southern Border for another reason.
Wood was eating Southern Border specialty food, white-cut chicken, in the forest.
“Yes, I’m in the Southern Border.” Wood laid down his chopsticks.
“There’s a task for you: go find white-cut chicken, uh, Heart-soothing Grass in the Southern Border. Notify me once you find it.”
“Task accepted!” Wood took up the task.
Seeing that there was an Imperial Guard Chief available at last, Jiang Li felt slightly relieved. He closed the Remote Communication Talisman. It would be easy to find Heart-soothing Grass as long as Body Integration Realm cultivator was dispatched.
wnat Jlang Ll clian t Know was tnat arter wooa naa enaea tne call, ne snoutea to his companion not far away: ‘Qin Luan, where did you disappear to during dinner and why did you bring back a girl?”
Qin Luan replied, “I just heard from the locals that there seems to be a secret realm left by Gu Immortal nearby.”
“The local you’re talking about is this girl?”
“Yes, I just saved her from danger in the jungle. She said she’s the daughter of a hidden Gu Clan’s Grand Priest. But the Gu Clan hid too deeply, and she only ran out to play but forgot how to get back,” Qin Luan introduced the Southern Border girl with brown skin next to him.
“She said her father being a Gu Clan’s Grand Priest, he should be in the Gu Immortal Secret Realm right now. We can find her father there, and he will surely reward us generously.”
The young girl was scantily dressed, loads of skin exposed. It was less than what a demon clan member would wear, full of youthful vitality. There were white patterns on her abdomen, arms, and thighs, which added a sense of allure.
Wood had heard from Zhang Konghu, this was a pattern unique to the Gu Clan.
The Southern Border girl greeted Wood enthusiastically. Wood nodded in response.
“If you want to go, let us go together.” Wood didn’t care. Heart-soothing Grass was everywhere in the Southern Border; they could encounter it while helping the Gu Clan’s young girl find her father.
After disconnecting from Remote Communication Talisman, Jiang Li had an uneasy feeling. He sensed that Wood might not complete the mission and may not find the Heart-soothing Grass.
“That shouldn’t be the case, how could accidents occur to a cultivator at the peak of the Body Integration Realm in the Nine States?”
“I haven’t been to the Herb Sect for a long time. Well, I’ll just go take a trip.” Jiang Li still felt uneasy, so he left Alchemy Peak, preparing to search for Heart-soothing Grass at the Herb Sect himself..
