The Forest of a Thousand Poison was a forbidden place in the Realm of Alchemy.
Perhaps it was because of the theory that when things reach an extreme, a forest full of poison was born in this place that was full of spiritual medicine.
Here, ancient trees reached into the sky and their leaves were luxuriant. Within a radius of three miles, everything was surrounded by black fog. It looked eerie and terrifying.
"This is the Forest of a Thousand Poison."
Feeling the endless amount of poison before him, Ling Xian's expression turned serious. He didn't dare to be reckless.
During the gathering inside the Hidden Territory, he had seen the Forest of a Thousand Poison from afar. Therefore, he still remembered the way.
"No matter what, since I promised Hong Yan Xin, I have to try." Ling Xian's brows were tightly locked together. Though he wasn't sure, he was confident.
After all, the Flame of Purity was known to be untouchable by all poisons. Naturally, he was confident.
"Come at me. Though the Forest of a Thousand Poison is terrifying, my Flame of Purity is not to be trifled with."
The corner of his lips curled up as Ling Xian crazily manipulated the Flame of Purity. Instantly, the silver flame roared out of him and formed a sea of fire that had enough power to boil the ocean!
Without a doubt, this was the first time he had summoned the Flame of Purity. After all, he was up against the Forest of a Thousand Poison. If he doesn't summon the Flame of Purity, he may die here.
"Burn!"
Shouting, Ling Xian formed a hand seal and the terrifying Flame of Purity rolled out of him. The entire forest was engulfed by the high temperature. Plus, this flame was extremely harmful to poisons. It easily consumed all the poisonous fog around the Forest of a Thousand Poison.
However, he didn't dare to be reckless. This was merely the poisonous fog on the outside. The poison inside would be even more terrifying.
"Burning the entire Forest of a Thousand Poison at once is a little difficult for me right now. After all, if the energy is dispersed, the power will decrease." Ling Xian thought about it and realized that he cannot target the entire Forest of a Thousand Poison. Therefore, he changed his strategy.
He rolled up his sleeve and the Flame of Purity immediately shrunk and wrapped around him tightly. Then, in a flash, he entered the terrifying Forest of a Thousand Poison.
The instant he stepped into the dense forest, three clouds of black gas appeared. Then, they fused together to form a cloud of purple fog that spread toward him.
"Disperse."
Ling Xian snickered. His entire body was engulfed in silver flames. Like the legendary God of Fire, he was untouchable. The silver-white flame had a mystical purifying power. The moment it came into contact with the poisonous gas, it swallowed it up.
After all, the Flame of Purity was known to be immune to all poisons. If he didn't even have this ability, then why would he dare to step into the Forest of a Thousand Poison?
If the poisonous gas invaded his body like in the Nothing for Sale store, it would be very troublesome to refine it. But to Ling Xian, who was buffed by the Flame of Purity, it naturally posed no threat.
"Fortunately, although the poison of the Ten Thousand Poison Forest is terrifying, it is unable to directly invade the body. This way, the possibility of me reaching the depths is undoubtedly higher. "
A faint smile appeared on Ling Xian's lips. Then, he began to move and headed deeper into the forest.
Along the way, countless types of poisons turned into poisonous mists or mixed together to form mixed poisons. Some were fighting alone, but without exception, these poisons were terrifying to the point of making one's hair stand on end!
Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be poisoned to death in an instant!
However, to the Flame of Purity, these poisons were nothing. Even though the poisonous mist seemed endless, it was completely devoured the moment it came into contact with the silvery-white divine flames.
What could they do? The Flame of Purity was far too powerful and was created to purify poisons. Or else it wouldn't be able to live up to its title of being immune to all poisons.
"It is no wonder it is the Flame of Purity that everyone in the Taoism community yearns for. This ability to counter all poisons is insanely powerful." Ling Xian complimented. He then manipulated the Flame of Purity and destroyed all the poisonous fog that was about to hit him.
Then, his silhouette flashed and he flew towards the depths of the forest at an extreme speed.
Even though along the way, there were many different types of poisonous mist that tried to surround him, before they could even get close to him, they were consumed by the silver flame.
This scene was unbelievable.
Remember that this was the Forest of a Thousand Poison that everyone in Yuezhou would turn pale at the mention of. Even omnipotent beings like the Buddha and the Banished Immortals wouldn't dare to enter this place. Yet before his eyes, Ling Xian was entering this place as if he was taking a stroll in his own garden. How unbelievable was this?
This was heaven-defying!
Luckily, there was no one else here. Or else they would be stunned by this scene!
Just like that, Ling Xian, like the God of Fire descending into the mortal world, was surrounded by the silver flame. As he destroyed the poisonous mist, he flew deeper into the forest. After some time, he finally arrived at the deepest part of the forest.
"Hong Yan Xin didn't explain what exactly it was. She only said that there is a box deep inside the Forest of a Thousand Poison."
Ling Xian frowned. As he summoned the Flame of Purity to protect himself, he scanned around with his Qi, hoping to find the box.
Finally, on top of an ancient tree in the southeast direction, he saw a black box.
"Found it!" Ling Xian's eyes brightened. In a flash, he arrived on top of the tree.
The moment he landed on the branch, a cloud of pink fog suddenly appeared. Even through the Flame of Purity, he could feel the poison in the fog!
Instantly, Ling Xian's expression changed. He crazily manipulated the Flame of Purity in an attempt to melt this pink mist.
However, he wasn't sure what kind of poison this mist was. It was able to fight against the Flame of Purity and was not affected by it.
This made him frown. He didn't think this mist would be so eerie. It was obviously poison, yet it could fight against its natural enemy.
"Let's ignore this strange mist for now. I need to get my hands on the box first." Ling Xian made up his mind. He crazily manipulated the Flame of Purity to stop the mist and the various poisons around him. Then, he headed towards the black box.
"Retreat!"
The moment he grabbed onto the box, Ling Xian floated back and reappeared hundreds of meters away. Then, the Winged Blitz transformed into a Winged Blitz that wrapped around him and carried him away.
Since he had achieved his goal, he didn't want to stay in this damned place for even a second longer. Especially against the pink mist, even with the Flame of Purity, he felt a little fearful.
Therefore, Ling Xian quickly escaped. After some time, he had left the Forest of a Thousand Poison.
One has to admit that he was truly heaven-defying.
This was the incomparably terrifying Forest of a Thousand Poison. Even the omnipotent like Fu Di didn't dare to step into this place. Yet he acted like he was taking a stroll in his own garden. He came and went as he pleased. How dominating was this?
Luckily, nobody knew about this shocking event. Or else they would be cursing at Ling Xian for being insane!
"Okay, let me see what's inside the box first. Then, I will hurry back to the competition." Ling Xian softly grinned. Manipulating his Qi, he opened the black box.
In the next second, an infinite amount of bloody light permeated out along with an eerie atmosphere that sent chills down everyone's spine.
"This atmosphere … it's a curse!" Ling Xian's expression changed. The Golden Dan inside his body crazily manipulated and he was very cautious.
However, apart from the blood-red light that filled the sky, nothing terrifying happened. After the blood-red light lasted for a moment, it gradually dissipated.
This made him sigh in relief. He shifted his gaze towards the box. There was a sheepskin scroll that was slightly yellowed. It seemed like it had some ideas.
"A sheepskin scroll. What does it record?"
Ling Xian frowned and picked up the sheepskin scroll. On it, countless strange symbols were engraved. It was obvious that it wasn't the language of the current era.
"What an eerie thing. It's the language of the ancient era."
Ling Xian frowned. Since Ling Xian didn't recognize the language, he was too lazy to investigate. After all, this item wasn't his. Even if it was a treasure, he wasn't going to take it for himself.
After all, he made a promise with Hong Yan Xin. How could he go back on his words?
Therefore, he put the sheepskin scroll back into the box and placed it into his storage pouch.
"Okay, everything in the Forest of a Thousand Poison is over. Next, I will hurry back to the competition and find the Flower of Three Lives on Opposite Shores. "
Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. He flapped his Winged Blitz and headed towards the Mountain of a Thousand Medicine.
Just as he was heading towards the Mountain of a Thousand Medicine, the first round of the test had already been going on for two hours.
During these two hours, many geniuses had tried their best to identify the spiritual medicine inside the Mountain of a Thousand Medicine. Though 100,000 points was enough to pass the test, it wasn't that easy to achieve.
On top of that, not only would the first place receive great rewards, but it would also be a great honor. Think about it, if one could defeat everyone else and win first place, even if they weren't the final winner, wouldn't that still be an honor?
Therefore, all the geniuses were trying their best to increase their points.
Through the giant mirror in the sky, one could see that the first place was the strongest descendant of the Hong Clan, Hong Zhuang Luo. She already had 240,000 points.
The second place was Shang Guan Wu Yao. His score was 200,000, 40,000 less than Hong Zhuang Luo's.
The third place was Cao Yu. His score was 180,000, 20,000 less than Shang Guan Wu Yao's score.
The other people in the top ten had at least 120,000 points. It was obvious that these people's capabilities weren't ordinary. At the very least, they were worthy of being called geniuses.
This was especially true for the top three. To be able to identify close to two hundred thousand spiritual herbs at such a young age was enough to prove how powerful their knowledge of spiritual herbs was.
Out of everyone here, the lowest score was 30,000. There was only one exception.
That was Ling Xian.
His score was zero and he was ranked last!
Without a doubt, this was an eye-piercing number and an unbelievable number.
Those who could enter the Realm of Alchemy were without a doubt, extraordinary people. How could he not have a single point? Everyone here was in disbelief. Everyone in the outside world was in disbelief.
Then, whether it was the Heaven's Favorites inside the Realm of Alchemy or the cultivators watching from the outside, they all began to mock Ling Xian. Some people even suspected that he never acquired the purple lines and that he entered the Realm of Alchemy through the back door.
What could they do? The zero behind his name on the screen was far too eye-piercing and far too laughable. Everyone was laughing at him.
