Chapter 0244 – An Unexpected Request – Absolute Return

It had been a long time since Marble had been to the Forest of a Thousand Poisons.

Along the way, he met quite a few poisonous people. Ever since the last incident at the martial arts arena, their attitudes towards themselves had become complicated; some enthusiastically expressed their support for Jian Wuji, while others glared angrily at him, as if they wanted to break him into pieces.

Arriving at the Poison King’s residence, Marble saw that the Poison King was refining an unknown poison.

“That’s an unusual looking poison.” Marble said.

The Poison King ignored him and remained focused on refining the poison.

Seeing the Poison King immersed in his own world, Marble couldn’t help but feel some envy in his heart.

He looked around and realized that everything here was the same as before, whether it was the furniture, or those bottles and jars, they were all placed in their original positions, as if time had stood still here.

Suddenly, he saw something familiar.

“What’s this?!” Marble asked in surprise.

The Poison King looked up and saw that Marble was pointing to a bowl with leftovers and said with a smile, “That’s what was left over from your last visit.”

“Why do you still have it?” Marble asked in surprise.

“I’ve been researching new poisons lately, I don’t have time to clean up.” The Poison King said indifferently, “Next time someone says my place is dirty, I’ll use you as an excuse.”

All along, the Poison King’s residence was a forbidden place where no one was allowed to enter except for himself. Even the cleaning was done by the Poison King himself. Now that I think about it, it was really rare for him to allow himself to enter his private space.

Marble casually cleaned up, and the Poison King finished making his new poison.

“It’s finally done!” A hint of excitement appeared on the Poison King’s face.

It was a colorful elixir that looked very beautiful.

“This poison looks very powerful, who are you trying to poison? The martial arts alliance master? Or the Evil Demon Road ally?” Marble asked with a smile.

The Poison King handed the elixir to Marble, “You eat.”

“How dare you try to poison me in front of me?” Marble said in mock surprise.

“No?”

“Then you must be hiding my big brother behind you.”

Marble said so with his mouth, but he still took the elixir.

“What kind of poison is this?”

“Weather Dan.”

Marble sniffed.

The Weather Pill was a treasure that people in the Poison Road could only dream of, both as a powerful poison and as an elixir.

“I found a Strange Spirit Grass in the An Family’s secret room, and surprisingly, no one recognized it.” The Poison King said with a smile.

“I heard from Xu Dalong that you turned the entire An family upside down.” Marble said.

“I was looking for Flowering Ninja Snakes. Where the Qi Ling Grass grows, there will definitely be Flowering Snakes infested nearby. The Weather Pill is made from the fruit of the Qi Ling Grass and the inner elixir of the Flowering Snake.” The Poison King explained.

“Why did you give me such a precious potion?” Marble asked.

“You should be asking why I would give you something so dangerous.” The Poison King said with a smile.

“The efficacy of the Weather Pill is extraordinary!” The Poison King said proudly, “After taking the Weather Pill, you will be able to survive all poisons, cold and heat. Even if you are stripped naked and thrown into the desert, or thrown onto a snowy mountain, you will still be able to survive.”

Not only that, after taking the Weather Pill, it could also enhance the resistance to extreme cold and extreme heat attribute feats.

“But the toxicity of the Weather Dan is too strong for ordinary people to withstand!” Marble said.

“That’s right, many people have ended up being poisoned to death because they coveted the efficacy of the Weather Pill.” The Poison King smiled and said, “But, you won’t.”

The Poison King looked straight into Marble’s eyes and said, word for word.

Marble froze.

“You …… already knew that?”

“That’s right, I know that you are the body of a hundred poisons.” The Poison King chuckled, “We’ve known each other for so long, do you think I wouldn’t know?”

Worthy of being the King of Poison, it’s really powerful!

“That’s a shame, I was hoping to find an opportunity to tell you at a critical moment.” Marble said with some regret.

“I also want to find a chance to show off in front of you.” The Poison King said with a smile.

“I’m really surprised that you succeeded.”

Marble originally thought that the Poison King would be angry after knowing that he was invulnerable to all poisons, but he didn’t expect him to be so calm.

“Why should I be angry? I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.” The Poison King said with a smile.

“Wait for what?”

“Waiting for a hundred poisonous experiments!” The Poison King’s eyes flashed with excitement, “With you, I can safely research various poisons! Come on, quickly eat this Weather Pill and tell me how it tastes, how toxic it is, and what needs to be improved.”

Marble hastily took a few steps back, “I’m the second son of the Heavenly Demon God Sect, the future sect master, how can I be your experimental subject?”

The Poison King laughed out loud.

It was then that Marble realized how childish his previous thoughts were. It was ridiculous for him to think that the Poison King would hate him because he was impervious to all poisons!

“Okay, I’ll eat it then.”

Marble sat down on his knees and swallowed the weather dan.

The toxicity of this elixir was truly extraordinary, if he wasn’t invulnerable to all poisons, I’m afraid he would have been poisoned to death long ago.

Moreover, the taste of this elixir was also extremely bitter, more bitter than any elixir he had ever eaten.

“You didn’t make it this bitter on purpose, did you?” Marble couldn’t help but complain.

It took him a great deal of effort before he finally absorbed the medicinal power of the Weather Dan completely.

Unlike other pills, the medicinal power of the Weather Pill did not converge in the dantian, but was dispersed throughout the meridians of the body.

From now on, he would never have to worry about freezing or burning to death.

Marble bowed deeply to the Poison King, “Many thanks to senior for the medicine!”

“There’s no need to thank me, you just have to answer me one question.” The Poison King said.

“A hundred questions will do.”

“Who is your target?”

The Poison King had sensed that the reason why Jian Wuji was so desperate was because he had a powerful goal in mind.

“I’ll tell you when I find the Qi Ling Grass.” Marble didn’t answer the Poison King’s question head on.

But he’s already given away half the answer, at least he didn’t say “no goals”.

The Poison King looked deeply at Marble, as if he wanted to say something, when an attendant walked in and reported, “Lord Marble seeks an audience.”

“What’s he doing here?” The Poison King asked in surprise.

He turned his head to Marble, “You kid, you even recruited Marble! What exactly did you use?”

It seems that Marble has never been to the Forest of a Thousand Poisons before.

“If I had used anything, he certainly wouldn’t have come. It is because I did nothing that he came.” Marble said meaningfully.

“What do you mean by that?” The Poison King asked in disbelief.

“I don’t know.”

The Poison King rushed toward the back door, “Just tell him I’m not here and I don’t want to see him.”

Marble hurriedly stopped him, “Senior, please help me.”

“Another time.”

“As long as you promise to help me, I’ll be at your beck and call when you need an experiment in the future!”

The Poison King sighed and said to his attendant, “Let him in.”

“You’re a sly one, kid! You must have known that if I didn’t agree to you, you would have slipped out the back door.” The Poison King said without a trace of anger.

“You know I wouldn’t do that.”

“That’s why I promised you! Tell me, what do you want me to do for you? Persuade Marble to give up the Grand Duke in favor of you? Or to poison him unknowingly and bury him in the Forest of a Thousand Poisons?”

“What you’re asking for is harder than that.”

Marble’s request was completely unexpected by the Poison King.

“I just hope that you can play with us all day today.”
