"…"
Inside the temple.
Cheng Dongfeng, Chen Jingzhou, He Litong, and the others were all taken aback as they stared at Jiang He.
Was that not a little too direct?
Still, there was no market for Orirocks. Who would sell them?
The elderly head monk was taken aback as well.
Still, he soon smiled. "Mister Jiang, the Diamond Sect only produces a hundred Orirocks every year, and that's not even enough for our disciples' cultivation …"
"Head monk, Orirocks are external items. Your Diamond Sect is a Holy Ground for martial arts, so how could your disciples rely on external items for cultivation?"
Jiang He smiled. "Moreover, I believe that any business can be done, and it all depends on how much the seller is willing to sell and how much the buyer is willing to pay … While Orirocks are cultivation resources, they are a far cry from certain life-saving items."
With a turn of his hand, Jiang He took out a Strengthened Bezoar Detox Pill and put it in front of the head monk, saying, "Look, head monk. This is the Bezoar Detox Pill I developed with blood, sweat, and tears, and could cure all poisons!"
He then turned his hand again.
Whoosh!
The Red Toad King's corpse appeared in the temple.
The huge corpses almost filled up half the hall.
It was only because the temple was tall and large enough, or it would have burst.
Jiang He rose to his feet and walked up to the Red Toad King's corpse, smiling. "This is the Red Toad King that lives in Lake Kanas. I killed it on the way here … of course, that's not important, since the Red Toad King is adept at venom."
The head monk's eyes twinkled in surprise.
The Red Toad King …
He did know, since Lake Kanas was not too far from the Diamond Sect. Now that the Diamond Sect was open to the public, some of their elite disciples had left the mountain to learn about the mundane world.
The youth before him was merely rank-nine, and yet he could kill the Red Toad King that could match divine-tempest martial artists?
"A rank-nine novice repelling a divine-conversion tier Ciren Deji with a single palm, even cutting down the Red Toad King. Where did this youth come from?"
Shocked and puzzled, the head monk looked at Jiang He in confusion … Was he offering the Red Toad King's corpse to tell him that he had the capital to make a deal with him?
Jiang He whipped out his Dragon-Slaying Saber and circled the Red Toad King, using his spirit to search, and only then did he find its venom sac.
With a flick of his Dragon-Slaying Saber, he cut the Red Toad King's venom sac.
True Qi rolled out of Jiang He's hand, holding the venom in the air.
The venom was corroding Jiang He's True Qi, even hissing. If it was an average rank-nine, the Red Toad King's venom would have corroded Jiang He's True Qi. Even so, Jiang He appeared calm and smiled. "Head monk, since I'm selling something, I naturally have to show you the effect of the Bezoar Detox Pill."
Stunned, the head monk had a general idea of what Jiang He was thinking. But just as he was about to speak, he saw Jiang He's True Qi swirling again … opening his mouth, he directly swallowed the venom in one gulp.
"F * ck!"
Beside him, Chen Jingzhou and the others, who were clueless at first, were almost scared to death when Cheng Dongfeng darted to him, exclaiming urgently, "What are you doing, Jiang He? Without the Primordial Stones, the worst that can happen is that our cultivation will slow down a little. It's not a big deal! "
"Mister Jiang He, hurry up and spit it out. When the Secret Realm opens at midnight, it would be the annual Orirock mining day. If push comes to shove, I'll give you half of the hundred Orirocks this year!"
The head monk panicked.
He was no longer as calm as he was before.
With Jiang He's current demonic display, Wang Hou would tear down the Tantra Sect if Jiang He died before his eyes.
Unable to decide if he should laugh or cry, Jiang He asked, "Head monk, Old Cheng, what are you two doing?"
"I just want to show you my Bezoar Detox Pill …"
Even as he spoke, Jiang He smacked his lips and closed his eyes to feel the taste of the Red Toad King's venom, complaining, "The Red Toad King's venom is a little disgusting. It's a little bitter and fishy … I would have added some seasoning if I knew this would happen."
The head monk: "…"
Cheng Dongfeng: "???"
Everyone in the temple appeared stunned. Cheng Dongfeng's eyes widened as he stared at Jiang He and asked seriously, "Jiang … Jiang He … are you alright?"
"That's the venom of a top Feral King …"
The last sentence was said by the head monk.
Jiang He carefully extended his senses over his body and laughed awkwardly. "Don't worry, head monk, I'm fine for now … what the heck, who said that the Red Toad King is venomous? Why isn't the venom working? "
Jiang He was a little speechless.
He had consumed the Red Toad King's venom to show off the effects of the Bezoar Detox Pill, but the venom was not working even after he ate it … Holding a Bezoar Detox Pill in his hand, he was unsure whether to eat it or not.
"There's no need to panic, everyone. My cultivation method is special and has the effect of detoxifying and healing in the first place. Moreover, aside from my Dragon-Elephant Prajna, I've also cultivated the Shaolin Temple's Indestructible Diamond to mastery. My physique and qi are powerful, and I've also cultivated a profound physique refinement technique as well as consumed many heat-clearing and detoxifying vegetables. My physique is basically impervious to blades, fire, water, and poison, and I'm highly resistant to poison. It might take a while before the venom kicks in."
Jiang He had to brace himself and explain.
And yet, the more he explained, the more shocked everyone in the temple became, with only a string of 'what the hell' left in their minds!
They had seen with their own eyes how Jiang He ate the Red Toad King's venom …
And he was completely fine?
Wasn't his poison resistance a little too frightening?
And so, they waited for twenty minutes.
Then, Jiang He's eyes suddenly lit up and he exclaimed in delight, "The venom is finally kicking in!"
Nonetheless, his face turned black in an instant, and the black qi covered Jiang He's entire body in just three seconds. Taking out the Bezoar Detox Pill again, Jiang He smiled. "Look, head monk. I'm poisoned and my face is black, but my Bezoar Detox Pill has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, so one pill is enough …"
Even before Jiang He could finish and take the Bezoar Detox Pill, he froze.
He could feel his True Qi and mystic energy circulating on their own in the instant the venom kicked in, instantly wiping out the Red Toad King's venom.
The black qi on Jiang He's face and body promptly faded. His mouth twitched as he forced a smile and said pitifully, "Head monk, does your Diamond Sect have any venom stronger than the Red Toad King's venom? My poison resistance is too high, and the venom is gone before I could show the effect of the Bezoar Detox Pill …"
The head monk only came to his senses after a long while.
Even as a Void-tier, he was left dumbstruck by Jiang He's series of actions.
Composing himself, the head monk asked, "Mister Jiang He … could the Bezoar Detox Pill really cure all poisons?"
"Ten Thousand Poisons!"
Jiang He solemnly reminded him, "This thing should be able to cure any poison. Of course, that might not be the case if the level of the poison is too high, but I've used the Bezoar Detox Pill to cure Long Mountain Lin of Sichuan's Long Mountain Lin's Six-eyed Desert Spider venom, so one pill would do the trick."
"Please wait a moment, Mister Jiang."
The head monk's gaze twitched and he left the temple, calling for a monk and giving him a few instructions before returning.
A few minutes after he returned, he saw two young lamas carrying an unconscious old lama into the main hall.
"Mister Jiang, this is a disciple of the Diamond Sect. He had left the mountain a few days ago and ran into a Daemon Centipede, a rank-nine Feral with frightening venom. Could your Bezoar Detox Pill cure it?"
"Easy!"
Jiang He walked up and forced the old lama's mouth open, before stuffing a Bezoar Detox Pill inside.
He helped the old lama up and slapped him on the back a few times, helping him swallow the pill. Moments later, the old lama's vigor suddenly improved, and he slowly opened his eyes to stare straight at the ceiling of the temple. Then, he suddenly jumped up and exclaimed in surprise, "I'm not dead?"
His aura was a little withered when he jumped up, but after walking around the temple and noticing the head monk and bowing, his aura recovered to its peak, and the poison in his body was completely cured.
The head monk appeared surprised.
Delighted, Jiang He began to brag about the effects of the Bezoar Detox Pill, saying, "This lama is merely rank-eight pinnacle, and it seems that the venom that injured him was not that powerful. It's a little wasteful to feed him an entire pill just now, but a third of it would have cured the poison in his body."
Inwardly, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately …
The effects of the Bezoar Detox Pill were finally showing.
If he had known, he would have fed the Red Toad King's venom to Cheng Dongfeng, instantly poisoning him and then feeding him the pill would not have been so troublesome.
The head monk waved his hand, and the disciple respectfully excused himself.
Then, he turned towards Jiang He and exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect Mister Jiang to be able to create such a heaven-defying technique at such a young age and brew such astonishing antidote pills. You are truly a prodigy of your generation!"
"It's just so-so."
Jiang He said humbly. "I'm just a little multi-talented, but it's not worth mentioning."
His tone then changed, and he asked, "Head monk, what do you think of the Bezoar Detox Pill?"
"Not bad. How many of those antidote pills do you have, Mister Jiang?"
Jiang He glanced at his System Backpack and said, "I can take out twenty of them right now. If you need more, I'll go home and plant … I'll make another batch."
"No need, no need. Twenty is enough."
The head monk quickly waved him off. Twenty of those heaven-defying antidote pills were already a sky-high price, and any more …
He could not afford that price. "Mister Jiang," he asked, "Do you only need Orirocks? How do I exchange them? "
"One Bezoar Detox Pill for five Orirocks. That's not too much, is it?"
Jiang He was a little nervous.
After all …
The Bezoar Detox Pill was too easy to come by. He could buy a box from a pharmacy, return home and plant an entire tree …
He was not aware that the head monk was even more delighted at Jiang He's words … five Orirocks was very limited in improving a divine-tier martial artist's cultivation, but a single antidote pill could save his life in a critical moment. It was such a good deal!
Summoning a divine-tempest elite monk, he gave him a few instructions, and the monk soon brought him a hundred Orirocks.
Jiang He put away the hundred Orirocks and handed the twenty Bezoar Detox Pills to the head monk.
"Hold on …"
He suddenly came to a realization and exclaimed in surprise, "Head monk, didn't you say that we could only mine the Orirocks after the Secret Realm opens at midnight? So these hundred … "
The head monk was inwardly delighted that he had gotten the better end of the deal, and explained, "Though we can only mine a hundred Orirocks every year, the Diamond Sect has been frugal in recent years, and we have some left."
"…"
What the hell!
Why were there no truths coming out of these lamas' mouths?
"Are you still selling?"
Naturally, the more Orirocks the better. "Head monk, how many Orirocks does the Diamond Sect have? I want them all?" Jiang He asked.
"Including the hundred that can be mined after the Secret Realm opens at midnight, there are around 180 left … Mister Jiang, do you have more antidote pills?"
Jiang He shook his head, saying, "I won't trade the Bezoar Detox Pills with you this time."
"Perhaps you have other treasures, Mister Jiang?"
"Orirocks!"
Jiang He took out 200 Orirocks from his System Backpack with a wave of his hand, saying, "I'll trade 200 Orirocks for 180 Orirocks from the Diamond Sect. What do you say?"
The head monk was dumbstruck.
What are you trying to do?
Even Cheng Dongfeng and the others were stunned.
180 for 200 … did Jiang He not know how to count?
Since Jiang He insisted on the trade, the head monk could only say, "If that's the case, we'll trade 180 for 180 Orirocks."
Jiang He was delighted.
He had planted four Orirocks before and harvested a total of four hundred.
Crops harvested from his farm could not be used as seeds, which was why Jiang He had no use for the four hundred Orirocks. However, it was a different story for the Diamond Sect's Orirocks.
He would have 18000 Orirocks if he returned and planted them.
Each Orirock would earn Jiang He 10000 Farm Points and 1000 EXP, making 180 Orirocks for 1.8 million Farm Points.
"Along with the 100 I just got and the 100 Wang Hou promised me, 380 Orirocks … that's 3.8 million Farm Points. What a profit, a killing!"
Soon, midnight arrived.
The head monk led the many high monks to a cave behind the Diamond Sect's mountain.
There was a sign at the top of the cave, with the ancient words' Womb Realm 'written on it.
Jiang He's gaze twitched and he exclaimed in surprise, "The Diamond Sect's Secret Realm is inside this cave?"
Believing that he had taken advantage of Jiang He, the head monk's attitude towards Jiang He changed drastically and he explained, "The Womb Realm was left behind by the founding masters of the Diamond Sect, and it is a realm of its own with a sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers. The Yuan Qi inside is dozens of times thicker than outside, and it is easier to grasp the Dao of the world inside. Floral spirits are also born inside the Secret Realm, and all of them are treasures."
He walked up and attacked alongside the many high monks of the Diamond Sect, unleashing a special Buddhist technique into the cave.
All of a sudden, the cave quaked, and a rainbow radiance shot out from the cave's entrance.
One of the high monks entered the cave, and came out with a hundred Orirocks half an hour later.
After that, it was the King Kong Sect disciples' turn to enter the cave. There were a total of thirty King Kong Sect disciples, with the weakest being rank-nine and the strongest being at the Divinity Origin Energy realm.
It was only after the Diamond Sect disciples entered that the head monk said, "Mister Jiang, everyone … please!"
Cheng Dongfeng and the others were rather excited.
After all …
They had only heard of Secret Realms and microworlds, but never entered one.
Jiang He, on the other hand, was rather expectant. Even as he stepped into the cave, he could not help muttering, "I wonder what the scenery inside the Womb Realm is like …"
