Chapter 1840 - 3: Investigation

Lin Feng was extremely shocked to discover the extraordinary origin of the White Jade Toad.

Does this mean that the future growth height of the White Jade Toad far surpasses that of the ordinary Stone Clan?

However, Lin Feng also had some doubts and confusion.

For example.

Given the astonishing talents of the White Jade Toad, why does this White Jade Toad appear to have no cultivation?

He asked aloud, "Why is this White Jade Toad so weak?".

The Black Bear Saint Monarch replied, "The White Jade Toad is quite special, it will go through nine evolutions! Every evolution greatly enhances its power, and this White Jade Toad obviously hasn’t even started its first evolution!".

"I see!".

Lin Feng nodded and continued asking, "What abilities does the White Jade Toad have?".

The Black Bear Saint Monarch said, "Back when I was following Lord Chonglou Demon Emperor, I saw another Demon Emperor with a White Jade Toad that had just completed its first evolution! That White Jade Toad could neutralize all sorts of severe poisons!".

Lin Feng frowned slightly and said, "Neutralize poisons? That ability seems somewhat marginal?".

"No! That ability is actually terrifying! You haven’t encountered those truly fearsome poisons yet. Some poisons are so lethal they can even kill a Great Emperor. I remember once witnessing a poison called Seven-step Life-seeking Liquid; it’s said that if a Great Emperor comes into contact with this poison, after seven steps, they’ll drop dead instantly."

"You might encounter some of the top-level poisons in the future; often these poisons are colorless and tasteless, killing invisibly, terrifyingly so. Once poisoned, it’s typically a death sentence, but with the White Jade Toad, it becomes different. The White Jade Toad can absorb these poisons, and after absorbing, it can continue to evolve! Besides the absorption ability, the White Jade Toad can also preemptively detect various poisons. If someone is plotting to poison you with top-level poisons, it’s hard to detect them, but the White Jade Toad can!".

The Black Bear Saint Monarch explained.

Lin Feng was greatly astounded; he hadn’t anticipated that the ability gained from the first evolution of the White Jade Toad would be this powerful, making him immensely delighted.

He continued to ask, "Is it very difficult for the White Jade Toad to evolve?".

The Black Bear Saint Monarch nodded and said, "It’s indeed very hard, but this little thing can cultivate by itself, and its cultivation will continuously improve. Yet, frequently feeding it with various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures can quicken its growth, and the first three evolutions should be relatively easier. Typically, the first evolution is the easiest, while subsequent ones become increasingly challenging."

"Apart from providing various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, you can also provide various poisons for the White Jade Toad to absorb; this quickens its evolution, and poisons are much more effective than Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for the White Jade Toad. However, it’s hard to purchase some of the top-level poisons because they’re usually controlled by top-level forces and don’t circulate easily!".

Lin Feng touched his chin and said, "Perhaps I can go to those commerce auctions and purchase them for a high price!".

He forced out a drop of blood and dripped it into the mouth of the White Jade Toad.

The White Jade Toad directly consumed Lin Feng’s blood.

Immediately afterwards.

Lin Feng felt a very tight connection was established between him and the White Jade Toad.

"Quack, Quack, Quack!"

The White Jade Toad leaped up and landed in Lin Feng’s palm, conveying a strong sense of closeness and affection towards him.

The Black Bear Demon Monarch remarked, "The White Jade Toad will get stronger and stronger as it evolves! As for what mighty abilities it will awaken later, I really don’t know!".

Lin Feng nodded, then placed the White Jade Toad into the Mountain River Ring.

In recent years, Lin Feng had slain many powerful enemies and numerous Evil Demon Experts.

After obtaining their storage rings.

He discovered many poisons.

Now, Lin Feng took out all these poisons to feed the White Jade Toad.

He placed the poisonous items into a porcelain vat of over twenty cubic meters.

To the White Jade Toad.

Poisons are its food.

So upon smelling the scent of poisons.

The White Jade Toad was exceedingly excited, directly jumping into the porcelain vat filled with various poisons, beginning to absorb them.

Astonishingly, so much poison was being consumed by the White Jade Toad visibly.

Leaving Lin Feng utterly baffled.

The speed at which the White Jade Toad was devouring poisons was truly too fast.

...

Lin Feng withdrew his Divine Sense and remained secluded for the following few days.

About seven or eight days later, Lin Feng found people conducting surprise inspections on every compartment.

These people were from Shen Zhou Commerce.

Their actions stirred dissatisfaction among many.

But Shen Zhou Commerce claimed someone had stealthily assassinated one of their senior members.

When the cultivators of Shen Zhou Commerce were pursuing the assassin.

That assassin suddenly disappeared mysteriously.

Shen Zhou Commerce suspected the assassin had accomplices.

That accomplice had hidden the assassin away.

The people from Shen Zhou Commerce wanted to investigate the assassin, leaving passengers with no choice but to open their compartments for Shen Zhou Commerce’s inspection.

The Black Bear Demon Monarch remarked, "These people are clearly looking for the person who obtained the young cultivator’s ring!".

Lin Feng nodded.

These people were actually searching for him.

Realizing there wasn’t a Monitoring Spirit Array around the casino gave Lin Feng some reassurance.

Before long, someone knocked on Lin Feng’s door.

He opened it, finding over a dozen cultivators from Shen Zhou Commerce standing outside.

Leading them was a cultivator with formidable cultivation; Lin Feng felt this person’s cultivation might have one foot in the Heavenly God Realm.

"Eight days ago, where did you go? Who did you meet? What did you talk about?".

This cultivator squinted his eyes at Lin Feng.

"I went to the casino, stayed for a while, then returned to my accommodation and haven’t gone out since," Lin Feng replied.

"You haven’t mentioned whom you interacted with or what you talked about," the person coldly remarked.

Lin Feng replied indifferently, "I have met nobody and discussed nothing."

This cultivator sneered and said, "You better tell the truth, or don’t blame us at Shen Zhou Commerce for being unkind to you!".

"Being unkind to me? Ridiculous. I want to see how you plan to be unkind. Is this how Shen Zhou Commerce conducts business?".

Lin Feng sneered back.

"Kid! Who do you think you are, daring to question us at Shen Zhou Commerce?". The cultivator looked at Lin Feng with an indifferent expression and a trace of killing intent in his eyes.

"Hongzheng! Calm down, this young man is just being brash, there’s no need to concern yourself with it!".

A woman walked over and spoke up.

This woman appeared to be around thirty years old, with a tall and charming figure, exquisite and beautiful face, and eyes as enticing as flowing streams in spring, with a seductive glance.

Mature and alluring.
