Chapter 501 Attacking the Red Poisonous Mountain Ridge 10
Next up was Wu Dongxiao's performance.
Without changing his expression, he raised the Black Dragon Halberd and slashed at the vine, instantly breaking it in two and freeing Wu Dongxiao's right leg, allowing him to escape.
Wu Dongxiao took the opportunity to flip over and jump down from the rocks.
However, on the other side, many vines appeared haphazardly, each shimmering with a dark light, clearly carrying terrifying poison!
Now that Wu Dongxiao was prepared, his movements were as swift as lightning, and he was able to dodge all the vines... but this was only in theory.
The next instant, a small poisonous toad suddenly darted out from some corner and let out a loud squeak at Wu Dongxiao!
All the bulges on its back burst open!
Poisonous water gushed out from each bulge, managing to envelop Wu Dongxiao from all sides!
All the poisonous water was spread along the path Wu Dongxiao used to avoid the vines.
Wu Dongxiao's face darkened a bit, but this wasn't the first time he'd encountered such a situation; he was quite used to it.
He quickly analyzed the situation and, weighing the two evils, chose to be entangled by the vines again and have his body corroded by their venom.
None of the poisonous venom from the small poisonous clams could truly harm Wu Dongxiao.
A ball of black flame erupted from Wu Dongxiao's body, very similar to that on the Black Dragon Halberd, and spread along the vines that were binding him, igniting them and causing them to burst into raging black flames.
The vines trembled incessantly, as if they had suffered some terrifying attack, and were quickly engulfed in the black fire.
Wu Dongxiao's clothes were burned to tatters, and the wounds on his body corroded by the poison had taken on a peculiar shape, causing him to throb with pain.
The reason he hadn't used this method before was that although the black fire wouldn't normally harm his body, once his skin was corroded by the venom, the subsequent burning by the black fire would cause him excruciating pain—this pain was brief, but after it subsided, the wound would congeal. During this time, he would constantly feel a dull ache from the struggle between the black fire and the venom; it wasn't intense anymore, but it lingered persistently and was extremely bothersome.
At this moment, Wu Dongxiao made this choice simply because the effects of the poisonous water were even more unknown.
Once the little poisonous toad's bulges were completely ruptured, it let out another "croak" sound and hopped away, its speed almost faster than that of a Spirit Transformation cultivator.
Wu Dongxiao fell from the rocks... before he even reached the ground, he was launched and attacked by several thin snake heads that appeared to be from some unknown monster.
He dodged it.
Just as Wu Dongxiao's toes touched the ground, the ground suddenly collapsed, and his entire lower leg was wrapped in sand, threatening to drag him underground.
In an instant, half of his leg was sunk in!
Wu Dongxiao immediately swung the Black Dragon Halberd again, and with a tremor, the sand could no longer take shape. He then leaped up and carefully landed again.
Fortunately, there was no collapse this time.
However, a gigantic snake head suddenly emerged from the previously collapsed area, moving so fast it was almost invisible, heading straight for Wu Dongxiao's head to devour it—
Wu Dongxiao almost instinctively ducked and rolled away, managing to escape from the snake's mouth.
This time, he finally arrived at his senior brother's side.
All the bad luck that had happened before seemed to have come to an end at this moment.
Xuan Bing took all of this in and sighed softly.
Then, he spread his hands.
Three bottles were placed in Xuanbing's palm in sequence.
They are: Detoxification Pill, Healing Pill, and Replenishing Pill.
As the name suggests, it eliminates corrosive venom, treats external and internal injuries, and replenishes the Xuan energy consumed by the junior brother who had just been jumping around.
These three items are simply essential and must-haves.
Xuan Bing didn't even need to think about it this time; he just took it out without hesitation.
Despite the fact that Wu Dongxiao went through so much just by landing, it actually only took a few breaths.
Xuan Bing didn't waste any time and directly stuffed the pill into Wu Dongxiao's mouth.
Before he could reach out, Wu Dongxiao had already skillfully opened his mouth.
It wasn't because Wu Dongxiao was being coquettish and wanted his senior brother to feed him, but because there had been many times in the past when Wu Dongxiao was tricked into not being able to lift his arm, so he naturally couldn't swallow the medicine himself... So he could only rely on Xuan Bing to feed him.
Now the two brothers are used to it.
Although Wu Dongxiao wasn't completely paralyzed from the waist down, his whole body felt like it was on fire, and he would definitely be in pain if he moved.
Xuan Bing naturally had to take extra care of his junior brother.
then……
Visibly, the scars on Wu Dongxiao's body caused by the collision of venom and black fire gradually healed, and a layer of scar skin rose up.
Before long, the scars turned white, became transparent, cracked, and eventually fell off Wu Dongxiao's body, revealing the smooth new skin underneath.
At the same time, the other minor wounds also healed, and Wu Dongxiao's damaged internal organs were quickly repaired.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Wu Dongxiao was completely transformed.
The circulation of the medicine and the replenishment of Xuan energy greatly improved Wu Dongxiao's complexion, making him look as if he had never been injured before.
At this moment, Wu Dongxiao finally let out a breath and wiped away his sweat.
He met his senior brother's piercing gaze and awkwardly scratched his head.
Xuan Bing looked at him helplessly.
Wu Dongxiao scratched his face again, then turned his head and pointed to the right, saying, "Quick! Senior brother! There's an evil cultivator over there! Let's go and take him down!"
Xuan Bing: "...Okay."
What happened next was completely unsurprising.
Wu Dongxiao did indeed discover a heretical path, but it was a path full of ingenuity and extremely adept at utilizing the environment.
So, before an incense stick's time had passed, Wu Dongxiao was covered in injuries again, and Xuan Bing once again stuffed his mouth with pills.
Xuan Bing sighed softly again.
Even as he healed his wounds, Wu Dongxiao's eyes remained bright: "Quick! Senior brother, look over there—"
Xuan Bing: "..."
Okay, okay, let's take a look.
Let's go, let's go over there.

In the ancient city.
Hang Zhuo bowed deeply and said with great sincerity, "King Zhong Dan, what we need most right now are herbal elixirs and healing elixirs, such as... antidote elixirs, especially those highly effective against the five poisons... and some elixirs that need to be removed from abnormal energies. The most common abnormalities here are fire and water attributes, with water attributes being more difficult to deal with... and there is also a blood poison. These are the experimental materials we have found. Please take a look, King Zhong Dan..."
As Zhong Cai refined the herbal elixir in his hand, he nodded to indicate that he had remembered it.
While Hang Zhuo was saying these things, he kept a close eye on Zhong Cai's expression, fearing that if he made too many demands, it would displease the King of Zhongdan.
But he soon realized that the other party was not angry at all, which relieved him.
Hang Zhuo knew that all the alchemists had come to participate in the battle, and it was only natural that they would make requests and the alchemists would resolve them. However, the alchemists had different personalities and areas of expertise, and they were usually highly respected. Hang Zhuo should be more careful when interacting with them.
Zhong Danwang was an outstanding alchemist, and even though he had a good temper, Hang Zhuo still had to be very careful around him.
Now, while observing carefully, Hang Zhuo said that Zhong Danwang's complete acceptance of the agreement put him at ease, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of respect for Zhong Danwang.
Despite his racing thoughts, Hang Zhuo remained respectful and did not show it.
Just then, Hang Zhuo heard Zhong Danwang ask him a question.
"How are your comrades' arms and legs? What is their need for the Limb Regeneration Pill?"
Hang Zhuo was taken aback and quickly asked, "Can King Zhong Dan also refine limb-regenerating pills in multiple batches?"
Zhong Cai raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong with that?"
He's very familiar with limb-regenerating pills!
This thing earned him and Lao Wu their first fortune back then; he had specifically learned it when he was at level five.
Although the Limb Regeneration Pill is very difficult to refine, it is indeed one of the many level-five pills that Zhong Cai is most skilled at making.
Hang Zhuo was overjoyed and quickly said, "Then I'll have to trouble King Zhong Dan." He showed a hint of sadness on his face, "Recently, there have been many traps. Many fellow practitioners have managed to escape by chance, but they inevitably have some limbs and flesh left behind. This kind of pill is exactly what we need."
Those in logistics would certainly prepare more limb-healing pills, but not this many.
There are so many cultivators who have lost limbs to those traps. All the limb-restoring pills have been used up. And these pills are not easy to refine. Compared to the more urgently needed healing pills, there are not many alchemists who can refine them.
It has always been in short supply.
If Zhong Cai could refine several hundred of them in one batch, it would indeed solve the immediate problem.
Zhong Cai said, "Then the next batch will be the Limb Regeneration Pill."
Hang Zhuo hurriedly said, "Thank you very much, King Zhong Dan. You've worked so hard."
Zhong Cai smiled, not really caring.
"You've said quite a lot. Please make a list for me according to the importance and urgency of each item."
Hang Zhuo readily agreed and showed even greater respect for Zhong Danwang.
Zhong Cai then pointed to a spot on the right and said, "The newly refined pills and the order forms are all there. You can take the pills directly when you come over. If there are any changes on the order forms, you can make those changes directly on them as well. I will take a look at them before each pill refining session."
This process is even simpler, and you don't always have to be so polite.
Hang Zhuo naturally had no objections, and his expression became even more sincere.
Then, as expected, he quickly added and removed a few items from the list. He didn't rush to leave because the pill would be ready in about fifteen minutes, so he simply waited.
Before long, the pill was successfully extracted.
Hang Zhuo watched as the lids of over a hundred alchemy furnaces opened simultaneously, releasing a rich aroma that wafted for miles...
He could tell that there must be at least a few dozen top-grade pills among them, and the rest would all be of superior quality.
As expected of the King of Pills!
Only Zhong Danwang.
·
The Poisonous Toad Ancestor releases so many different kinds of poisons that even those that look very similar cannot be treated with the same antidote.
This meant that alchemists not only had to refine a large quantity of products, but also conduct extensive research.
Commonly used antidotes can only remove most of the toxins and suppress their effects; to eradicate them completely, separate research is necessary.
With so many pills consumed on the battlefield, it would be difficult for alchemists to study them one by one...
