"The Myriad Poison Ancestor's poison sure is potent. Is there anything I can do about it, senior tree king?" Ru Xin crossed her arms and asked, pointing at her chin.
They were in a tree hole beneath the great banyan tree. It was composed of huge, intertwined roots. It was extremely spacious, filled with the fragrance of resin.
Yin Qing laid on a platform composed of roots. Her body had been reduced to a humanoid shape by the poison, and her aura was extremely feeble. A droplet of yellow-green venom dripped from her body, kicking up a puff of white smoke when it landed on the ground.
As an asura, her body and life force far surpassed regular cultivators or even Daemon Commanders, but she did not possess a heaven-defying cultivation method like the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine or the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty after all. She still could not endure the Myriad Poison Ancestor's poison.
"All I can do is maintain her life force, but the poison is still deeply rooted, spreading and strengthening by devouring her life force. Even the cleverest housewife can't cook a meal without rice. The unique secret technique of the Myriad Poison cult requires a corresponding antidote. It all depends on whether he can bring back the Myriad Poison Ancestor's sumeru ring. "
The Banyan Tree King's voice echoed through the tree hole. A dark-green aerial root fell down, injecting sap into Yin Qing's blood.
"This guy is very petty. He'll stare back even if he's glared at him. Myriad Poison has offended him, so what good fate awaits him?" Ru Xin smiled.
Li Qingshan chatted with the Myriad Poison Ancestor as he flew through the sea of trees. Compared to the nervousness and intensity he felt earlier, he was much more relaxed now. However, the Myriad Poison Ancestor's existence was like a fishbone stuck in his throat. He had to get it out.
When the sky darkened, Savage mountain came into view.
The huge hole blasted open in the clouds had already closed up and vanished. It was currently drizzling.
Little Ann stood on the top of the tall tower on the main peak. Her black hair was like mist, about to merge with the rain. Only when she saw Li Qingshan's figure did her lips curl into a smile and fly over to receive him.
Li Qingshan told Little Ann everything that had happened, but Little Ann was unable to come up with a good idea immediately. "I better ask the Banyan Tree King for help!"
"How's Yin Qing?" Li Qingshan asked as he passed through the fog.
"Ru Xin's injuries are under control, and she's currently thinking of a way to detoxify the poison," Little Ann said.
"Ru Xin? I almost forgot that she's also a disciple of the School of Medicine. Let's go and take a look! "
Li Qingshan was very friendly to those who served and helped him.
After passing through the Eight Directional Foggy Sea Formation, the valley was filled with rain and fog. The towering trees were soaked by the rain, and their color was especially deep. Even the mountains were dyed black. Seeing this familiar scenery, Li Qingshan couldn't help but relax, and a relieved smile appeared on his face. Although there was still a great threat that hadn't been eliminated, he had still won this battle!
His ears twitched as if he had heard something.
"I heard you bad-mouthing me from ten miles away!" Li Qingshan lifted the green vine curtain and walked in, glaring at him.
"I'll tell you!" Ru Xin shrugged.
"How is it?"
The Banyan Tree King asked. A great cultivator's fate was extremely important. If the Myriad Poison Ancestor had died, he would definitely sense it. Since he did not sense it, it meant the Myriad Poison Ancestor had already fled, which made sense too. Third heavenly tribulation great cultivators were not that easy to kill after all.
However, he had to consider this. If the Myriad Poison Ancestor fled back to the Myriad Poison cult, then Li Qingshan's dual identities would definitely be exposed to the world. The reactions of the Hawkwolf Guard and the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga would all be a small matter. If the Dragon King Of The Sea pursued him everywhere, then that would be a huge problem. As a result, the Banyan Tree King had to consider how to mediate between them.
"I've dealt with it," Li Qingshan said calmly.
"You've dealt with it!" A hint of surprise appeared in the Banyan Tree King's voice.
"Though, there's still a small problem. That old bastard's soul nascence ran into my sea of consciousness and refused to leave, so I've temporarily suppressed it. I still need to ask for your guidance. Let's cure Yin Qing first!"
With a wave of his hand, Li Qingshan unleashed the Watermirror's Image again and retrieved the two sumeru rings. However, it took quite a bit of effort to open them. In the end, he still had to ask the Banyan Tree King for assistance, and only then did he manage to open them.
After a great battle, Li Qingshan was extremely exhausted, and he even had to split his attention to suppress the Myriad Poison Ancestor's soul nascence. Through this small matter, he became even more aware of just how unpleasant it was for the Myriad Poison Ancestor to remain in his sea of consciousness.
Normally, it would be fine, but if he encountered another great battle and the old bastard messed around in his sea of consciousness, he would use up fifty percent of his strength at the very least. If he accidentally allowed the old bastard to grasp an opening, he might even face the danger of turning the tables. Cultivation went even more without a doubt. This bastard was truly an "inner demon".
"It's no wonder that old bastard can keep stalling away calmly. His existence has blocked off my future prospects."
There were many bottles and jars in the Myriad Poison Ancestor's sumeru ring. If he asked Li Qingshan to look for the antidote, he really would have no idea where to start. It was all thanks to the Banyan Tree King's great knowledge that he found a glass bottle. An aerial root sucked up some of the medicine and sprayed it on Yin Qing. The poison immediately diluted by a lot.
Li Qingshan and Little Ann also ingested the antidote according to what the Banyan Tree King had taught them, completely eliminating the threat of the poison.
The Banyan Tree King sprinkled some more tree sap, and Yin Qing's wounds healed rapidly. Before long, she slowly woke up, and her eyes that had been blinded by the poison regained their brightness. She murmured, "I'm still alive. This isn't the Asura realm!"
She had thought she would be reborn in the Asura realm. Through this battle, she had proven once again just how dangerous it was to provoke an existence an entire major realm of cultivation above her!
"I haven't even allowed you to die yet!" Li Qingshan laughed aloud.
The Banyan Tree King said, "It's all thanks to the Asura realm that my life is no longer in danger. However, it's unavoidable that my strength will be affected, so I need to be mentally prepared."
Yin Qing nodded slightly, expressing that she understood. This was not the Asura realm after all. Even if she was injured, she could recover slowly.
"You've done a great service this time, so I'll reward you handsomely. I'm willing to repay you with my body. What do you think?" Li Qingshan patted Yin Qing's shoulder with a smile.
A cool, moist breeze blew into the tree hole, and Ye Liusu lifted the curtain and entered. She glanced at Li Qingshan and pursed her lips. Ru Xin chuckled, but she said nothing. Xiao An was emotionless and incorporeal.
"Cough, cough, I was just telling a joke to liven up the atmosphere. What's with your expressions? You don't have the slightest sense of humour!"
Even with how thick-skinned Li Qingshan was, he felt slightly embarrassed. Of course, it was only a tiny bit. He had gone as far as to rope in his subordinates for the sake of his great ambitions.
Yin Qing burst out laughing. This king sure had a lot of romantic debts. She recovered soon afterwards. "My king's valiance in battle has left me in great admiration, but the reward is far too great. I'm just a willow, so I'm not blessed enough. I really can't handle it. I think it's better if he rewards me instead!"
Li Qingshan acted like he did not hear Ru Xin's mocking laughter. He instructed her gently, "Return to the Asura Field and recuperate for now. I'll find a way to help you recover your strength."
After sending Yin Qing to the Asura Field, he passed the Myriad Poison Ancestor's sumeru ring to Ru Xin. "Take a look and see if there's anything you need."
Ru Xin did not hold back, searching through it carefully. The Myriad Poison Ancestor's sumeru ring was extremely well-stocked. It contained the cultivation methods and resources of the entire Myriad Poison cult, which would be extremely helpful to her plan.
