"Quickly take out a section of white lotus root."
Qin Xin felt Danqing's anxious urging voice echoing in his heart.
Without any hesitation, Qin Xin took out a section of white lotus root from the wooden box, and immediately, the fragrance of medicine filled the air.
Seeing this, Qin Xue began to guard the surroundings to protect Qin Xin.
Guided by Danqing, Qin Xin swallowed a section of white lotus root. A warm, moist power erupted in Qin Xin's throat, flowing from top to bottom. This warm, moist power, like flowing water, protected Qin Xin's meridians, and the brown spots on his chest stopped spreading outwards instantly.
Some of the medicinal power of the white lotus root flowed into Qin Xin's dantian, making him feel warm and comfortable, as if he were immersed in water. However, the burning pain that suddenly came from his chest made Qin Xin shudder.
"not good!"
The Heavenly Yin Soul-Devouring Poison, which had been suppressed by the medicine, seemed to be accumulating power. Just as Qin Xin was in a daze, it suddenly erupted and rushed straight along his meridians toward the location of his Niwan Palace.
Qin Xue, who was protecting her, was very anxious when she saw brown spots suddenly appear on Qin Xue's face, who had been improving. She wanted to crush the jade talisman and leave the secret realm to seek help from her father and grandfather.
However, Qin Xin grabbed Qin Xue's outstretched hand in an instant. When Qin Xin looked up, his face regained its rosy color, and the brown spots on his chest gradually turned into wisps of black mist and left Qin Xin's body under the medicinal power of the white lotus root.
At this moment, Qin Xin lightly pressed several acupoints on his chest with one palm, and then his throat moved, and he spat out a mouthful of brown blood.
Are you alright?
Seeing Qin Xin's sudden improvement, Qin Xue's eyes widened, and if you looked closely, it seemed that there were glistening tears welling up in her eyes.
The sudden disappearance of the Heavenly Yin Soul-Devouring Poison surprised Qin Xin.
Just as the Heavenly Yin Soul-Devouring Poison attacked Qin Xin's sea of consciousness, Dan Qing prepared to risk being discovered to help Qin Xin defend against it. Unexpectedly, Qin Xin's Black Cudgel Martial Spirit absorbed the medicinal power of the White Lotus Root and generated a greenish-blue power that flowed into his meridians. It also discovered that the brown Heavenly Yin Soul-Devouring Poison that was rushing towards the Niwan Palace was also quickly spread over it. Upon contact, the Heavenly Yin Soul-Devouring Poison was actually devoured by the greenish-blue power and eventually transformed into a vast amount of true qi that flowed into his meridians and finally into his dantian.
"You brat, if you have such a trick up your sleeve, you should have used it sooner! You almost exposed your master!"
Danqing let out a long sigh of relief, while Qin Xin was seething with anger. He was now just a spirit, and his strength was not even comparable to that of a martial artist in the Innate Realm. If he were exposed and discovered by some evil cultivators, and refined into some magical artifacts, he would probably be unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation for eternity, which would be worse than death.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xin pursed his lips. He didn't know what was going on either. He had always been called a "waste" because of this black stick martial spirit. If there was any explanation, it was probably the spirit-devouring stone in his Niwan Palace. After all, his martial spirit was able to advance precisely because of this spirit-devouring stone.
~~~~~~
Outside the secret hunting grounds, the clan elders, seeing Qin Xin who had been poisoned, all thought he was doomed.
The Heavenly Yin Soul-Devouring Poison is extremely difficult to refine. It requires the venom sacs of ten highly poisonous demonic beasts, combined with the beast crystals of these beasts, and then fused and refined. Ordinary martial artists can be poisoned upon contact with it. Those poisoned will eventually suffer from festering sores all over their bodies, their souls will be corroded, and after enduring countless torments, they will eventually explode and die. Although some powerful martial artists can expel the poison from their bodies, those poisoned will either be paralyzed or become mentally impaired.
"Elder! You have a wonderful grandson!"
Seeing that Qin Xin had been cured of the poison, Qin Lin breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't imagine what would have happened if it weren't for the fourth-grade spiritual medicine, White Lotus Root. He looked at Qin Maoyan with some anger and said...
Seeing Qin Lin's angry eyes, Qin Maoyan said calmly, "In a martial arts competition, everyone relies on their own methods. Didn't Qin Xin also use something to cause that true energy explosion?"
"The Grand Elder is absolutely right. If Qin Xin hadn't used those despicable methods, my grandson wouldn't have been eliminated," Honorary Elder Qin Hongbing chimed in.
"How can the two be confused! They are already highly skilled, so using poison is just too despicable!" Qin Qianfan was also angry as he watched the two of them working together. After all, his only daughter was involved, and he could not tolerate the use of poison.
"Hmph! No manners!" Faced with Qin Qianfan's rebuke, Qin Maoyan's expression changed slightly, somewhat displeased. After all, this was in front of many clansmen, and how could he sit still when a junior reprimanded him like this?
"Isn't Qin Xin already fine? What, Brother Qianfan, you haven't even become the clan leader yet, but you're already acting like one!" Qin Yangxu looked at Qin Qianfan calmly, his words carrying a hidden meaning, a hint of killing intent in his eyes.
"Alright, shut up! What kind of behavior is this in front of outsiders!" Qin Lin shouted, dismissing the two men who were on the verge of conflict.
“Hehe, it’s alright, Clan Chief Qin, there’s no need to be angry. However, I’m quite interested in that Grade 4 spiritual herb, White Lotus Water Root. If you’re willing, I can exchange it for ten Spirit Fusion Pills,” Ouyang Jie said thoughtfully.
"Ten Spirit Fusion Pills!" The usually taciturn Second Elder and Third Elder exclaimed in unison.
Although the Fusion Spirit Pill is a third-grade pill and not as precious as a fourth-grade spiritual medicine, a spiritual medicine is still a spiritual medicine. It may be of some benefit to a person, but the Fusion Spirit Pill can give a martial artist a greater chance of completing the fusion of martial spirit and dantian and stepping into the innate realm. Moreover, the other party has offered ten Fusion Spirit Pills, which seems very worthwhile no matter how you look at it. It is normal for the two elders to exclaim in surprise.
"Since Qin Xin and Qin Xue obtained this item, they can decide what to do with it themselves."
Qin Lin's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly replied.
Although some elders and deacons were also very tempted by the ten Spirit Fusion Pills, they dared not say anything after seeing the clan leader's reply. They all hoped that Qin Xin would agree to the exchange, so that they might be able to get a share.
~~~~~~
Having successfully cured the Heavenly Yin Soul-Devouring Poison, Qin Xin and Qin Xue approached the Crimson-Eyed Golden Demon Tiger. Qin Xin took out a small knife from his Qiankun bag and began to dissect the tiger's fur.
Qin Xin was extremely careful during the dissection, avoiding touching the blood corroded by the venom, because the Crimson-Eyed Golden Demon Tiger was also poisoned by the Heavenly Yin Soul-Devouring Poison. As for the soul of the Crimson-Eyed Golden Demon Tiger, Qin Xin dared not devour it anymore, for fear that some problems might arise.
After searching, Qin Xin found a round, bead-shaped beast crystal inside the head of the Crimson-Eyed Golden Demon Tiger. This beast crystal was two-colored, one half gold and the other crimson, intertwined and radiating energy fluctuations. Holding it in his hand, Qin Xin could almost feel the violent intent contained within the beast crystal.
"It's actually a level three beast crystal with both gold and fire attributes! That's several times more expensive than a single-attribute one!"
Qin Xue exclaimed in surprise, then immediately added, "Take this beast crystal; it should be enough to get you a spot in the Spirit Cleansing Pool. But don't forget to give me the cash equivalent at market price."
Seeing Qin Xue's generosity, Qin Xin didn't pretend. After all, she was cultivating at the Eastern Wilderness Academy, so she wouldn't care too much about these little things. He directly put them into his Qiankun bag. Holding the beast crystal in his hand for a long time, the violent energy and killing intent contained in the beast crystal made Qin Xin feel a little uncomfortable.
The turmoil over seizing the level-three monster crystal has come to an end, and there is still half a day left before the competition concludes.
Qin Xin and Qin Xue continued hunting monsters, and with their cooperation, the number of monsters they killed kept increasing.
However, for them, the more beast crystals the better, because the more beast crystals they have, the more benefits they will receive when entering the Spirit Cleansing Pool for cultivation.
