Eternal Life by Daily Divination - Chapter 456 - 254: Slaying Five Poisons, Another Sword Dao Epiphany
The Ten Thousand Poison Gu was overjoyed. It immediately transformed into a streak of Spiritual Light and pounced, devouring the numerous Poisonous Insects.
During this time, it also absorbed the green poisonous mist within the Netherworld Evil Domain to prevent it from harming the countless mortals of Qingshui Country below.
Li Chang’an, meanwhile, entered Qingshui Country and swiftly killed the dozen or so Foundation Establishment and Fake Foundation Establishment Poison Cultivators.
Afterward, he approached the Tier Three Corpse Refinement, unleashed a burst of Magical Power, and began its Refinement.
’This Corpse Refinement belongs to the Great Saint Child. It might have a hidden mark from him.’
He didn’t put the Corpse Refinement away immediately. Instead, he used the Divine Splitting Technique, sending out wisps of Divine Thought to scan every part of the corpse.
Before long, he discovered an exceptionally well-hidden strand of Divine Sense.
’He really did leave a mark.’
With a single thought, Li Chang’an immediately moved to obliterate the strand of Divine Sense.
Just then, a young voice echoed from within the Divine Sense.
“Li Fan, stop at once! I am the Great Saint Child of the Yin Soul Sect!”
Li Chang’an paid it no mind and continued to crush the Divine Sense.
Just before the strand of Divine Sense completely dissipated, the Great Saint Child’s furious voice rang out.
“You have some nerve, Li Fan! I appreciate talent and had intended to recruit you, but you are this reckless and court death!”
As soon as the voice faded, the strand of Divine Sense dissipated completely.
Li Chang’an scanned it carefully a few more times but found no other strands of Divine Sense.
And with that, the Corpse Refinement could now be considered truly his.
’Not bad. Another source of Tier Three Power!’
A smile touched Li Chang’an’s lips; he was quite satisfied.
The Corpse Refinement’s overall strength surpassed that of an ordinary Early Stage Golden Core Cultivator, as its physical body had also reached Tier Three.
He stored it away and then began to inspect the Five Poison Wanderer’s Storage Pouch.
’That old bastard was really preparing for Core Formation!’
Inside the Storage Pouch, Li Chang’an found a Core Formation Spiritual Object, but it only increased the success rate by five percent.
In addition, there was a main ingredient for refining the Five Elements Golden Condensation Pill: Qinghua Wood.
This piece of Qinghua Wood was inferior to the one Li Chang’an already possessed.
However, it was enough to refine one Five Elements Golden Condensation Pill.
’A pity it’s not Profound Yellow Earth.’
Li Chang’an had been hoping for Profound Yellow Earth, since he only had enough for a single attempt, which was far too little.
He put away these two Treasures and continued to look through the rest.
The remaining items were almost all related to the Poison Dao.
For example, there were a large number of Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Cultivator corpses used for cultivating Poisonous Insects.
They were useless to Li Chang’an, but he could trade them with Demonic Cultivators for Souls.
Additionally, there were also many Poison Dao Treasures, several of which had even reached Tier Three.
’Looks like the Ten Thousand Poison Gu is in for another feast.’
Li Chang’an stored all the Treasures and continued inspecting the remaining Cultivation Techniques and Magic in the Storage Pouch.
Soon, he found the Magic for cultivating Poisonous Insects.
The Blood and Flesh Insect Refining Method!
Li Chang’an flipped through it casually and saw some methods similar to raising Gu.
After reading for a moment, he had an epiphany.
’Cultivating the Ten Thousand Poison Gu doesn’t necessarily require High Tier Poison Dao Treasures.’
’If I lack enough High Tier Treasures in the future, I can just cultivate Poisonous Insects.’
’Using a Gu-raising model, I can cultivate countless Tier One Poisonous Insects, have them fight and devour each other to produce Tier Two Poisonous Insects, and by repeating this process, I might be able to raise a Tier Three Poisonous Insect King…’
A Tier Three Poisonous Insect King would be a great supplement for the Ten Thousand Poison Gu.
Each Insect King was equivalent to an extremely high-quality Tier Three Poison Treasure.
In short, it was a way to use a massive amount of Low Tier resources to cultivate a High Tier resource.
If he cultivated enough of them, he could push the Ten Thousand Poison Gu to Tier Four.
The difficulty in cultivating a Tier Three Poisonous Insect King was the need for a large amount of flesh and blood from Cultivators or Spirit Beasts. Corpses were less effective; living Cultivators or Spirit Beasts were best.
’The Five Poison Wanderer cultivated for so many years and still failed to produce a Tier Three Poisonous Insect King. The difficulty must be considerable.’
Li Chang’an mused, ’This Magic can only serve as a backup for now. I’ll only use it if I can’t obtain enough Tier Three Poison Treasures in the future.’
He tossed the Magic into his Storage Pouch and continued to examine the remaining items.
Before long, he saw the Cultivation Technique the Five Poison Wanderer practiced.
An Earth Grade Technique, the Ten Thousand Poison Body Devouring Technique!
Li Chang’an took it out and briefly skimmed through it.
’This Cultivation Technique is similar to the Ten Thousand Flames Heaven-Burning Technique. The more poisons it refines, the stronger the technique becomes. Earth Grade is merely its lower limit; its upper limit can surpass even Celestial Grade.’
’No wonder that old bastard, the Five Poison Wanderer, was so much stronger than an ordinary Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivator. He must have already elevated this technique to Celestial Grade.’
Practicing this Cultivation Technique didn’t require raising Poisonous Insects inside one’s body.
Li Chang’an guessed that the reason the Five Poison Wanderer had so many Poisonous Insects in his body was to speed up the cultivation of a Tier Three Poisonous Insect King, using his own flesh and blood to raise them.
Once he cultivated an Insect King and fused with it, the Five Poison Wanderer could temporarily wield the power of a Fake Pill.
’That old bastard was truly ruthless.’
Li Chang’an shook his head slightly.
If it were him, he would never raise insects inside his body, let alone Poisonous Insects.
He put away the Poison Technique and continued looking at the other items.
He finished taking inventory before long.
At that moment, the Ten Thousand Poison Gu, having eaten its fill, returned to his sleeve.
’Time to go back.’
Li Chang’an’s figure blurred, transforming into a streak of light as he sped away.
「Half an hour later.」
He changed his identity and returned to the Black Market.
The Black Market was now much livelier than when he had left. Nearly every Cultivator was discussing the death of the Five Poison Wanderer.
’News of the Five Poison Wanderer’s death reached the Black Market this quickly?’
Li Chang’an intercepted a few Sound Transmissions and finally understood.
Just a moment ago, the Great Saint Child of the Yin Soul Sect had descended upon the Black Market and issued a wanted notice and a bounty to everyone.
