Chapter 0210 – Forest of a Thousand Poisons – Absolute Return

“Bang!” With a loud bang, a dark green poisonous smoke suddenly emerged from the container. I hastily took a few steps back and waved my hands to disperse the poisonous fog. ‘This welcome ceremony is really something else.’

I mobilized my internal energy and adsorbed the poisonous smoke between my palms.

He was about to throw the poisonous smoke out of the window when the Poison King suddenly shouted:

“Stop it! Stop it!”

He came running over in a panic, with a large bag in his hand.

“Quick, load the poisonous smoke!”

I sighed helplessly and poured all the poisonous smoke in my hand into the bag.

The Poison King tied the bag neatly with his hands and feet, then casually threw the bag on the table and began to rummage through the books on the table again.

“What went wrong?”

He muttered to himself while frowning, seemingly in deep thought. Since the beginning, he didn’t even look at me again. I knew that he wasn’t deliberately ignoring me, but was truly immersed in his own world, indifferent to everything outside.

As I looked around, the walls were filled with all kinds of bottles and jars containing colorful liquids, and I didn’t need to be told that these were all poisons or antidotes. This place was more like a poison storehouse than a room.

“Ah! I know! There must be a mistake here! Hey, bring over the Evil Poison Grass over there!”

I followed his instructions and found the Evil Poison Grass from a pile of herbs and handed it to him. The Poison King didn’t even look at it, obviously trusting me.

“Put it down and go fetch me a basin of water.”

And so it was that I was being called around by him, like a store boy running errands. All the while, he concentrated on tinkering with his bottles and jars, occasionally letting out a few excited squeals of wonder.

After a while, he mixed the newly concocted poison with the green poison, and this time there was no explosion.

“Success! It worked! It’s really the Evil Poisonous Herb!”

Poison King was excited like a child, dancing around.

That’s when he noticed me standing by.

“Who are you?”

Our Lord Poison King, finally remembered to ask me this question.

“You don’t even know who I am and you let me do this and that?”

“I thought you were my assistant. Who the hell are you?”

“I am Sword Wuji.”

“Oh, I remember, you’re the one who’s coming today, Jian Wuji, the upstart who has recently risen to fame. What are you doing here?”

Even though he already knew who I was, his tone and attitude remained unchanged.

He was like a nervous, weird old man, but I knew that the green light flashing in his eyes hadn’t gone away since I’d walked in the door. This shows that his emotions have been in a highly controlled state. ”I must not be fooled by his innocent appearance, he is a devil who once bloodied the martial arts world!”

“The latecomer has a favor to ask.”

“What is it?”

“Please help me persuade my father.”

The Poison King suddenly raised his head and stared straight at me. His skin was fair and smooth, not at all like someone who had been dealing with poison for years. ”That’s really strange, how exactly does he take care of himself?”

“No go.”

The Poison King didn’t even think about it and directly rejected my request.

“Won’t you ask what I want you to do?”

“No need to ask, I refuse.”

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll go back and tell my father that you bullied me?”

“Fear not, go ahead and say it.”

“Alright, then the late generation will take their leave.”

I arched my hand at him and turned to head out. At the door, Xiang Xian was still waiting there, and he didn’t inquire about the content of my conversation with the Poison King.

“Please tell Senior Poison King that I will come back to visit tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

I followed Xiang Xian out of the dense forest and silently memorized the route to the Poison King’s residence.
