BXBX NOVEL Chapter 5113 Poison
Chapter 5113 Poison
“Yao Linger, come help me,” said Long Chen.
“Alright!” Yao Linger excitedly flew over and warmed the furnace. After that, Long Chen started to refine the medicinal ingredients.
Despite Yao Linger’s long slumber, her alchemy skills remained sharp. Though she hadn’t fully mastered the Demon Moon Cauldron, refining these ingredients was effortless for her.
Long Chen wasn’t refining a pill; he was making medicinal liquids. The translucent liquids piqued Yao Linger’s curiosity. She asked, “Big brother Long Chen, what are you doing with them?”
“It will make the Devil Spirit fall into an even deeper slumber.”
Long Chen left the primal chaos space and carefully sent the medicinal liquid into the devil fetus one drop at a time. Due to the tiny amount, there was no reaction from the devil fetus or even the Devil Spirit.
After two hours, Long Chen sensed that the Devil Spirit’s spiritual fluctuations were no longer as active. He was delighted by the discovery, as it meant that this path was possible. He started to quicken the pace, pumping a barrel of medicinal liquid inside. The medicinal energy was quickly absorbed by the Devil Spirit. This time, its aura became slow and relaxed. To test it, Long Chen walked outside the shell and saw no reaction at all.
After that, Long Chen returned to the primal chaos space and refined more medicinal liquid. This was a different kind of medicinal liquid, and even Yao Linger and Earth Cauldron didn’t know what it was.
The Earth Cauldron could refine any pill, but there was one kind of pill it didn’t dare to touch—pills meant to harm or kill people. As the Earth Cauldron, it focused on life. Refining those kinds of pills would damage its core.
As a result, it naturally didn’t think Long Chen could poison the Devil Spirit to death. Moreover, using poison was always seen as the act of a lowlife.
However, Long Chen had never considered himself to be a good person. Sometimes, it was necessary to use any means available. In any case, no one would ever know.
The second barrel of medicinal liquid was meant to draw the Devil Spirit into a deeper slumber, but it also contained anesthetics. The Devil Spirit didn’t react, and Long Chen instantly became more brazen.
The third barrel was pure numbing agents. To test their effectiveness, Long Chen took a light sniff and instantly felt a wave of lightheadedness.
When he poured in the third barrel, the altar started shaking. Long Chen jumped, thinking the Devil Spirit was waking up, but it continued to sleep like a dead pig.
“Senior, absorb a bit of the devil fetus’s energy, or the balance will be lost!” called out Long Chen.
The Devil Spirit was dead asleep, but the four skulls on the altar were still absorbing the energy of the sacrifices. Without the Devil Spirit absorbing that energy, the devil fetus’s energy started to inflate.
The Earth Cauldron was stunned by Long Chen’s methods, and Long Chen’s shout drew it out of its stupor. It appeared above his head and started to absorb the energy of the devil fetus.
“Senior, why aren’t you directly absorbing it? Why do you need to bring it into the primal chaos space first?” asked Long Chen. He noted that the Earth Cauldron didn’t absorb the Grandmist qi but left it in the primal chaos space. As a result, a clump of purple clouds appeared in the primal chaos space.
“First of all, I can’t absorb this thing directly. It needs to go through the golden lotus seed’s purification to remove its dark energy. Secondly, this is a priceless treasure, and I’m not the only one who needs it. Dragonbone Evilmoon and the Demon Moon Cauldron need it as well. It’s not right for me to consume it all to myself,” replied the Earth Cauldron.
Long Chen was startled. If the Earth Cauldron said that it was a priceless treasure, it truly had to be priceless. However, if it was so priceless, shouldn’t it be going all-out to obtain it? Why did it want him to leave so badly? Did an item-spirit really have no drive to take risks?
Long Chen had always felt that the Earth Cauldron was too conservative. However, Long Chen knew that this was also one of his shortcomings. He was often too impetuous, and it just so happened that they could complement each other.
The violet cloud in the primal chaos space was growing. At first, it was just a few meters wide, but it quickly spread many miles. With the Earth Cauldron’s reminder, Long Chen noticed that this violet cloud was like a block of violet jade, but it had black spots on it.
Those black spots gave him a bad feeling. It was as if even from within the primal chaos space, they could still harm him.
The Earth Cauldron seemed to be intentionally releasing the violet aura right beneath the golden lotus seed. The lotus’s divine light then slowly erased these black spots. Now, the violet aura gave off unimaginable pressure, causing the entire primal chaos space to release a new fluctuation.
However, Long Chen didn’t notice the change in the primal chaos space, as he only focused on refining more medicine.
“Poison dragon thorn, Netherworld Flower, Yin Yang Grass, Soul Nibbling Spider...”
Long Chen refined many medicinal powders, working meticulously. He was now refining a poison pill, and this was his first time creating such a high-level poison pill.
Long Chen asked the Earth Cauldron for advice. This Devil Spirit was already on the level of a pre-Emperor. Under normal circumstances, poisoning such an existence to death was practically a joke. However, in its numbed state, there definitely was a chance of success. But he would only have one chance.
This poison pill was different from the previous medicines Long Chen had fed it. This was something fatal. The risk was that such a potent poison might trigger the Devil Spirit\'s instincts and awaken it. To counter this, the poison pill had to be extremely toxic, ensuring that the Devil Spirit was killed before it had a chance to react.
Fortunately, Yao Linger was truly hardworking and succeeded in one go. When the Demon Moon Cauldron opened, there was a giant pill the size of a baby’s fist.
It was wrapped in a pill cloth marked with dense, sinister symbols. Long Chen used a leaf from a Fusang Tree to wrap it, but the moment the leaf touched the pill cloth, it withered instantly, revealing the pill’s alarming toxicity.
“This pill is too toxic. I can’t use it,” said Long Chen with a grim expression. The intense toxicity meant that the Devil Spirit might sense it as soon as he removed it from the cauldron.
To address this, Long Chen and the Earth Cauldron worked together to refine a new pill cloth that could contain the poison. After all, the original pill cloth couldn’t contain its toxicity.
When a new pill cloth covered the poison pill, the terrifying aura finally vanished. Not daring to tarry, Long Chen immediately dropped the poison pill into the devil fetus.
