Free Web NovelChapter 468: Chapter 64: Healing Through Poison Induction
The Great Wilderness, which originally seemed to be full of disputes due to the Jiuli and Youxiong tribes each having their own matters, has now quieted down.
It feels more like the calm before the storm.
Both sides are not idle, but instead of initiating a confrontation, each is using strategies to enhance themselves.
At this moment, the Jiuli Tribe.
After the Medicine Ancestor decided to channel the poison for Shennong, all important figures from Lie Mountain have already gone to Jiuli.
It’s like they’ve completely abandoned this place at Lie Mountain, and taken everything within to avoid having to split forces to watch over it once a full-scale war breaks out.
Inside the large tent.
Shen Fei was observing from the side, mainly because he could receive the Medicine Ancestor’s feedback at any time.
He could also amplify the Medicine Ancestor, and even, if necessary, use [Chaos] to temporarily draw the power of the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable to protect the Medicine Ancestor.
Therefore, Shen Fei didn’t agree rashly in the past; he indeed had confidence.
After all, it was hard for them to imagine that Shen Fei actually had the means to directly grant the Medicine Ancestor the overlay of ’True Immortal’ power.
If not for Guang Chengzi standing behind Youxiong, using this [Chaos] move,
Shen Fei would dare to try directly attacking Youxiong Tribe.
"It’s about to begin."
Duan Xiu watched Shennong and the Medicine Ancestor sitting cross-legged on the stone bed. In order to channel the poison, no medicine was needed for support.
Instead, it focused on Duan Xiu, using the power of the same tier to cut off Shennong’s power, leaving part of it within the Medicine Ancestor.
"Good."
Shennong nodded and his eyes fell on the Medicine Ancestor, full of apology: "Shen Yao, sorry to trouble you."
Although Shen Yao said it was his own decision, Shennong was also aware that Shen Yao was probably acting out of loyalty and righteousness.
"Master, it’s not a bother."
The Medicine Ancestor smiled, while Duan Xiu shook his head secretly. He actually didn’t understand why the High Priest would agree to Shen Yao’s request.
They all felt that Shen Yao was a great contributor to Jiuli’s annexation of Lie Mountain.
Though healing Shennong also involved a significant matter for Jiuli, sacrificing Shen Yao to gamble on a possibility seemed not worth it.
But since things had come to this point, Duan Xiu could only proceed.
"Then I’ll start."
Shennong began to call upon his immortal power, spreading it out, carrying a lively green intent that directly merged into the Medicine Ancestor’s body.
This was not just pure mana but Shennong’s origin, so he couldn’t pour too much at once.
Otherwise, Shennong himself would be overwhelmed.
This is why Duan Xiu had to support; without being a True Immortal, others simply couldn’t retain Shennong’s True Immortal Power.
As this power entered the Medicine Ancestor’s body, it immediately triggered the poison of the Soulbreaking Aconite within.
Shennong himself was a True Immortal, skilled in the Medicine Stone Way, able to suppress it within his body.
But once it entered the Medicine Ancestor, it roamed like an untamed beast, wantonly ravaging the Medicine Ancestor’s entire body.
Especially the stomach area, horrific colicky pain spread from the Medicine Ancestor’s belly throughout his body.
Since obtaining the [Calamity Poison Body], the Medicine Ancestor had long not felt this way.
The medicine power of the Soulbreaking Aconite made him feel like an ordinary person from Blue Star, weak and powerless.
Extreme pain like a beast kept tearing at various parts of the Medicine Ancestor’s body, not just physically.
Even his internal power, and even the dim presence of his soul, got stained with a pale black power.
Relentlessly eroding various parts of the Medicine Ancestor’s body.
Until a moment later, the powers of [Calamity Poison Body] and ’Crystal Stomach’ slowly activated, constantly wearing down the poison of the Soulbreaking Aconite.
Because the Medicine Ancestor had previously swallowed a weakened poison of the Soulbreaking Aconite.
Borrowing multiple overlapping capabilities, the Medicine Ancestor withstood the first wave of erosion from the Soulbreaking Aconite.
In Duan Xiu’s hands, an apparent illusionary claw appeared, slicing the origin, Shennong’s face turned pale, but quickly recovered at a certain speed.
Then he looked at the Medicine Ancestor, with concern in his eyes, Duan Xiu’s fingers continually moved, a witch pattern appeared in the void and fell into Shennong’s body.
This is Witchcraft ’Fusion’, which can merge the powers of exotic beasts with members of the Jiuli Clan.
In essence, it’s a fusion of external powers, then mastering them.
It’s considered a witchcraft that must be mastered by Jiuli’s witches, and Duan Xiu is its founder.
This doesn’t just crudely merge them together; it needs assimilation and can quickly analyze the characteristics of the fused exotic beast or herb.
Let the one who merges be closer to the characteristics of the fused material, thereby mastering it.
Previously, using ’Fusion’ required testing to see what power nature matched the spellcaster.
After all, this fusion of exotic beasts and herbs equates to stepping onto the path of cultivation.
If there’s an inheritance regarding the path of cultivation, it’s naturally effortless, but Jiuli itself was scarce in Dao Lineage.
Now, even Duan Xiu couldn’t determine how Shen Nong’s origin matched with the Medicine Ancestor.
He could only use this ’Fusion’ witchcraft to allow the Medicine Ancestor to fuse this power.
Luckily, Duan Xiu didn’t find too much obstruction, the power simply merged into the Medicine Ancestor’s various parts.
And now the only reliance is to see how long the Medicine Ancestor can endure the poison of the Soulbreaking Aconite, whether he can persist until Duan Xiu and Shen Nong make the antidote.
"Success... succeeded..."
The Medicine Ancestor fought through the pain all over his body, especially the pain gathered in the stomach area.
His breath was fluctuating.
Duan Xiu saw this and quickly waved a barrel of medicinal liquid over, again waving, directly submerging the Medicine Ancestor into the medicinal liquid.
"Inside this, there are no parts... some effects, the rest aren’t good.
Effects like Barbarian Blood are also good."
The Medicine Ancestor intermittently felt the action of medicinal power within, thankfully Shennong was well versed in the Soulbreaking Aconite.
At least when using the medicine for the first time, it didn’t cause the Soulbreaking Aconite poison to be overly severe.
It had some effects.
"The medicinal power... is gone..."
The relief pain returned again, the Medicine Ancestor clenched his teeth.
Duan Xiu was prepared, this time changing some herbs, switching to another plan.
"Ba Snake Gall... Continuing Scale..."
The Medicine Ancestor kept speaking out the materials that could have an effect, letting Duan Xiu and Shennong continually adjust the prescription.
Soon.
He heard the Medicine Ancestor’s [Calamity Poison Body] advancing again, promoted to [Tier Nine of Legend].
This was already a step away from mythology, after all, compared to the weakened version of Soulbreaking Aconite poison the Medicine Ancestor had consumed.
This was the very toxin causing Shennong great pain, capable of harming Tier Ten and beyond.
If not for the Medicine Ancestor’s unique constitution and skills, at the moment of Soulbreaking Aconite’s entrance, he would be dead instantly.
All kinds of exotic herb and beast materials were continuously sent into the large tent.
Whenever Celestial Dao Demon Venerable or Duan Xiu exhausted their power, they immediately switched, taking turns channeling the poison for Shennong.
Gong Gong and Zhurong were stewing herbs for Duan Xiu, exchanging glances; their initial resentment towards Jiuli completely vanished.
"Jiuli, indeed could be the lord of the world."
Zhurong sighed.
