Lin Yun didn't speak and calmly sensed the changes taking place in his body. To be honest, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous. After all, this was too dangerous, and he might really die.
The antidote to the Ancient Poison Dragon's poison was itself highly toxic. Normally, if one drank it, they would die an ugly death. But if one drank it after being poisoned by the Ancient Poison Dragon, it would become the antidote.
To cure the Ancient Poison Dragon's poison, one had to use the Ancient Poison Dragon's poison as a primer. This in itself was a bold and contradictory problem, so no one had been able to make an antidote for countless years.
But as long as the poison was cured, there would be a special effect, and that was that one would no longer be affected by the Ancient Poison Dragon's poison. They would even have a certain resistance to the poisons of other Ancient Poison Dragons. At the very least, they wouldn't die from a single touch.
Seeing Lin Yun gently caressing the Ancient Poison Dragon's corpse without any reaction, Reina, the usually expressionless Frost Dragon, nearly had her eyes pop out.
Among them, Reina understood the terror of the Ancient Poison Dragon the best. When she was a child, she listened to her father's stories. The Ancient Poison Dragon was a great villain that would never change for millions of years. Within the clan, the name of the Ancient Poison Dragon was used to scare young Dragons.
Reina still remembered that when she was young, she had seen a powerful Frost Wyrm elder who had accidentally picked up a Primordial Poison Dragon's scale. After being poisoned and tortured for more than 10 years, he died.
But now, the Ancient Poison Dragon's poison had been so easily neutralized …
Even if she had already expected it, she still couldn't accept it …
Lin Yun circled around the Ancient Poison Dragon and carefully observed it, calculating how to harvest it. But after circling around, he discovered that the rest of the people were still in a daze …
"What are you all doing? Go and touch the Ancient Poison Dragon's corpse. After being poisoned, drink the antidote and you'll be fine. "
His words woke everyone up from their daze. Each and every one of them walked towards the Ancient Poison Dragon's corpse, trembling with fear. They held the opened potion in one hand and touched the Ancient Poison Dragon's body with the other.
Reina, Anderfa, and the puppet went to touch the Ancient Poison Dragon's corpse one after another. Then, they drank the antidote the moment they were poisoned.
As for Xiuban, he had a heroic expression as he held the antidote and walked forward. After cautiously pointing at the Ancient Poison Dragon's corpse, he suddenly discovered that the bottle of antidote hadn't been opened. In a moment of desperation, he stuffed the bottle into his mouth and swallowed it.
Lin Yun was a little dumbfounded. Anderfa cursed disdainfully, completely forgetting that he had almost wet his pants.
"What an idiot …"
After everyone was detoxified, Lin Yun pondered on how to collect them.
The Ancient Poison Dragon's corpse seemed to have existed for a very long time. The natural magic patterns on its scales had already lost their power and only had a bit of reference value and could be used as a material.
This was also the reason why he could tear apart the Ancient Poison Dragon's scales with his bare hands.
After going one round, Lin Yun only tore off a few pieces that looked somewhat broken, but the natural magic patterns still had a hint of charm. Those seemingly intact Dragon Scales didn't have any special value apart from being used as a kind of special material.
After removing some of the broken Dragon Scales as materials, Lin Yun didn't continue collecting them. Instead, he had Xiuban pry open the Ancient Poison Dragon's mouth and enter its body.
At least half of the teeth in the Ancient Poison Dragon's mouth were shattered, as if it had gone through a very bitter battle. After pulling out the only two intact teeth, Lin Yun didn't continue collecting them.
These teeth could be used as weapons by Xiuban, and they would be perfect for Carnage's handle. Not only were they extremely tough, but they were also sufficiently hard. Even a Heaven Rank Sword Saint would be able to use them as a weapon.
After entering the Ancient Poison Dragon's body, the puppet led the way and rapidly reached the Ancient Poison Dragon's head. Unsurprisingly, although the Ancient Poison Dragon's Dragon Crystal was still there, it had already lost its power. The mana within had already completely dissipated, and only an empty, crystal-like shell remained.
Seeing this Dragon Crystal without a wisp of mana, Lin Yun smiled.
If there was still a wisp of mana remaining, it could only be used as a weapon. Even a wisp of the Ancient Poison Dragon's mana would be enough to poison a Heaven Rank powerhouse to death, because the remaining mana would inevitably be the Ancient Poison Dragon's original wisp of mana and contain the most intense mana toxin.
If it was used as a staff, the spells cast would naturally be contaminated with a wisp of the Ancient Poison Dragon's poison. A mage proficient in poison spells would have their strength increased by at least one rank!
Letting a 9th Rank Archmage use a staff embedded with an Ancient Poison Dragon's Dragon Crystal to ambush a Heaven Rank powerhouse might even succeed.
Naturally, this was the best method for humans, but Reina was following them. If Reina fused with this empty Ancient Poison Dragon's Dragon Crystal, the benefits wouldn't be something a staff could compare to.
Ancient Poison Dragons were too ancient, and their Life Essence far surpassed Frost Dragons. If there was a wisp of mana left, Reina definitely wouldn't be able to fuse with it. She might even destroy her own Dragon Crystal. But now, this Dragon Crystal was only an empty shell, which was even better.
The fusion process would be very smooth, and with this empty shell as a foundation, Reina's Dragon Crystal would evolve, and even her Life Essence would evolve.
Evolving from a Frost Dragon to a higher level species, breaking through the shackles of a race. This kind of benefit couldn't be described with words.
When Noscent developed to its peak, humans were the strongest because of a certain point of view that was supported by many people, even by other races.
There were too few humans with innate talents, and their race itself didn't have any special talents. Everything had to be learned.
This innate starting point could be said to be weaker than all other races.
But it was also because they didn't have a starting point that they didn't have any restrictions.
The other powerful races, whether it was the Beastmen, Elves, or Dwarves, each race had their own innate talents.
Just like the Dark Elves, their entire race was innate mages. Even children knew how to cast spells. This kind of talent was more than frightening.
But at the same time, because of the talent brought by this bloodline, it also brought shackles. Their achievements might be limited by their bloodline.
What kind of bloodline they had was almost already determined what their highest achievements would be.
It was almost impossible for someone with mediocre talent to become a legend among these races.
The more powerful the bloodline, the more powerful the shackles.
Among the Dark Elves that followed Lin Yun, there were more than ten talented ones. Many of them might have already become Archmages in the first hundred years of their lives, and some of them might have already reached the 9th Rank of the Archmage realm by the time they were over a hundred years old.
But for the next thousand years, or even two thousand years, they might be stuck at that level, unable to advance any further until they died in battle or died of old age.
But humans were different. Their talents weren't that great, and there were countless people who became legends. At least half of those legends weren't very talented.
This point of view could be said to be the most popular one at the peak of Noscent's development, and the other races all agreed with this point of view.
The changes brought about by the sublimation of the Life Essence might be an increase in the limits of possibilities.
Although Rena's strength wouldn't change drastically after fusing with this empty Dragon Crystal, she would have the possibility of surpassing all Frost Wyrms in the future and becoming the most powerful Frost Wyrm in history. She might even surpass the first Frost Wyrm.
Lin Yun put this empty Dragon Crystal in Reina's hands. He didn't say anything, but Reina was so excited that she started shivering. She understood the value of this Dragon Crystal the best. Holding it, she felt a kind of powerful Life Essence seeping into her body.
After obtaining this, Reina was no longer in the mood to keep exploring. She promptly came out of the Ancient Poison Dragon's corpse and immediately started fusing with this empty Dragon Crystal.
Lin Yun kept moving forward, heading straight for the Ancient Poison Dragon's liver.
The Ancient Poison Dragon was also known as the Plague Dragon. From top to bottom, every part of its body contained a terrifying poison. There was only one place that didn't contain poison, and that was the Ancient Poison Dragon's liver.
Although the Ancient Poison Dragon's liver couldn't detoxify the Ancient Poison Dragon's poison, it was a natural antidote. Apart from the Ancient Poison Dragon's own poison, it could be used as an antidote for any poison in the world.
Potions made from the Ancient Poison Dragon's liver were things that many Gods had been keeping for a long time during the God Era.
In particular, the Gods and Demons who were hostile to the Plague Lord had a nearly insane desire to possess the livers of the Ancient Poison Dragon. As long as a slightly weaker Ancient Poison Dragon appeared, these Gods and Demons would personally hunt it down.
It could be said that the extinction of the Ancient Poison Dragons was mostly due to the efforts of these Gods. They hunted down almost all the young Ancient Poison Dragons, and after the powerful Ancient Poison Dragons died, the Ancient Poison Dragons went extinct.
Over ten thousand years later, an Ancient Poison Dragon's corpse appeared, and its liver was dug out. After some research, in addition to the all-purpose antidote, it was also made into a kind of potion for swordsmen.
That kind of potion wasn't meant to be consumed, but rather to be smeared on the body. After being smeared, it would give a terrifying physique known as the Poison Resistant Body. All poisons would no longer have any effect on the Poison Resistant Body.
Unfortunately, this kind of thing would seriously interfere with mana and could only be used by swordsmen.
