Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses-Chapter 650 - 599: Advancement and Departure (Combined - )
Corpse-Driving Sect, Ten Thousand Dao Peak, a spacious cave mansion just cleaned.
Lou Yi’s avatar sat upright on a Huanghuali wood chair, looking at the three treasures on the table before him:
A pure black three-petal flower, emitting a faint fluorescence, staring at it for a long time would give a discomforting feeling of one’s spirit being taken away;
A deep blue-green rhombus-shaped stone, fist-sized, semi-transparent, surrounded by spontaneously flowing and swirling airflow from time to time;
A red small arm thick piece of wood, occasionally with dazzling red light emerging and then vanishing.
These three treasures are respectively the Soul-Eroding Flower, Xunfeng Stone, and the Millennium Parasol Wood Core.
Aside from the Soul-Eroding Flower which is owned by the Corpse-Driving Sect, the other two treasures were acquired through various benefit exchanges with Qingluan Palace and Red Sun Sect, crucial for Lou Yi’s successful agreement fulfillment.
Unfortunately, the most desired Five-colored Lingzhi by Lou Yi, due to its preciousness, True Blood Sect still insisted on not letting go, and Corpse-Driving Sect temporarily couldn’t obtain it either.
’When the time comes, ask Caifeng to see if there’s a way to get it,’ Lou Yi thought.
Yet, obtaining three key items for advancing talents has already made Lou Yi quite satisfied.
This means his strength can once again be enhanced.
Lou Yi’s avatar Red Hero was assigned by the Corpse-Driving Sect with a separate mansion on Ten Thousand Dao Peak after joining as Guest Minister.
Yet, currently, the external identity is not suitable for high-profile announcements; hence, only high-level figures within the sect know this, the ordinary disciples are unaware.
Meanwhile, his true self openly stepped into the cave mansion under the guise of visiting a friend.
"Red Hero, greetings." The true self, naturally of genuine appearance, in his twenties, with a heroic face, pretended to bow to the avatar.
"No need for ceremony, everything you need is here, come and retrieve them quickly." The avatar posing as Red Hero, seemingly in his thirties, with a plain and unremarkable face, nodded.
"Then I’ll respectfully comply," the true self smiled.
Then he stepped into the room, first picking up the Soul-Eroding Flower, and in the next moment:
Poison (Proficient 0/300+1 Soul-Eroding Flower)→Poison (Minor Achievement 0/2000+1 Three-Life Vine)
Strange memories appeared in his mind.
In the memories, Lou Yi turned into a highly poisonous green snake, fond of devouring various poisons in the jungle.
One day, it wandered into the back mountain where a certain devil cult was located.
There, devil cultivators occasionally dumped residues and waste liquids generated after alchemy or artifact refining, all without exception possessing extremely strong toxicity.
Initially attempting to devour them, the green snake suffered intolerably, with its whole body near decay.
But after enduring, its resistance to toxins elevated by more than one level, with black stripes growing on its body, appearing more frightening.
As time went on, the green snake grew larger in size, reaching over ten lengths long, with a touch of human-like cruelty added to its previously cold and indifferent eyes.
It became refined, and its produced poison reached a realm unimaginable to ordinary people... 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
The memory abruptly stopped here.
A huge surge of energy between heaven and earth rushed into Lou Yi’s body, quickly transforming his salivary glands, sweat glands, and other organs, causing cell mutation, thus producing various peculiar effects.
His gaze focused on the Poison talent, where an introduction appeared.
Poison (Passive): gradually enhancing resistance against various toxins
Poison (Active): generating liquid and gaseous toxins, capable of causing certain damage to the body and Divine Soul; toxins possess certain spirituality, allowing control over the timing of toxin outbreak...
Though not particularly fond of this talent, since it’s already achieved the Small Success Realm, Lou Yi still needs to conduct some experiments to better grasp it.
He found the poison talent at the Minor Achievement level has become much refined.
Lou Yi extended a finger, pointing toward a large tree in front.
’Sizzle!’
A barely audible sound arose.
A wisp of faint green gas emitted from his fingertip, seemingly living, headed towards the large green tree unable to be embraced wholly by two.
Encompassed by the gas, the tree quickly turned yellow, withering leaves, decaying branches, and filled with various small, fine holes, riddled with holes.
’Gas-like poisonous mist, not only is the handling beautiful but also extremely stealthy, and the power is substantial.’ Lou Yi expressed satisfaction, viewing the poison talent with renewed regard.
Next, he began to try the liquid form poison.
Taking out a black middle-grade defensive spiritual artifact shield fragment, palm-sized.
It was among the few remaining after resisting the Heavenly Tribulation, evident of its hardness and resilience.
’Spit!’
A mouthful of green saliva dropped onto the spiritual artifact shield fragment.
Only the sizzling sound could be heard, with the spiritual artifact fragment dissolving at a visible speed, ultimately leaving no residue.
As if it never existed in the world.
’Wow... the power of this poison is somewhat terrifying.’ Lou Yi himself was uncertain of the current attack level of the poison, only knowing it improved by more than one grade from before.
Furthermore, he could feel the faint consciousness within the emitted poisonous mist and liquid.
He could control the timing of their outbreak, maintaining a harmless state if not allowed to explode.
’At specific times, it might prove greatly useful.’ Lou Yi thought.
He then turned his attention to the second Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Xunfeng Stone.
This was a deep blue-green rhombus-shaped stone, when held in hand, felt icy and greatly enhanced his perception of wind energy in the air.
