Chapter 0256 – Spirit Medicine Feast – Absolute Return

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

On the long table, a wide variety of spirit medicines were placed on the table, as if one had walked into a store specializing in selling spirit medicines. Each spirit medicine exuded a poisonous special aroma, intertwining together to form a strange fragrance that permeated the air.

Not far away, the Poison King was concentrating on mixing something at another tabletop.

I pressed my curiosity and quietly stood aside, my eyes sweeping over the spiritual medicines on the table, taking a closer look. Some of the spirit medicines I recognized, but more of them I had never seen before, and their number was far beyond my expectations.

I don’t know how long it took, but the Poison King finally finished his work in hand and placed the concocted potion on the table, before he looked up at me and faintly spat out a word: "Coming?"

"What are you doing?" I asked curiously.

"There are some spirit medicines that are more effective when mixed, and I dispensed them ahead of time." The Poison King explained succinctly.

Mixing these spirit medicines that were fiercely poisonous in themselves and still boosting their medicinal effects? Only a Poisonous King could have such tactics.

"I heard you made a personal trip to the Middle Kingdom?" I asked.

"If I don’t go, could these things still fly back on their own?" The Poison King asked rhetorically without any good humor, "In order to get all these things together within twenty-one days, I’ve used a lot of connections."

The poison king, who usually lives in deep simplicity, said the word "connections" in his mouth, which is really a bit out of place, and I think it must be an extremely precious relationship. And use contacts, also means owe a favor.

"I’m so sorry for your trouble this time." I said sincerely, my heart filled with gratitude.

The Poison King walked up to me, his eyes gleaming as he stared at me as if to say, "And how do you plan to repay me?"

"In the future, if you need me in any way, just ask." I said with a straight face.

"Do you think you can pay it off once or twice?" The Poison King looked at me with a smirk.

"It’s also an honor to visit you often." I said with a smile.

The Poison King walked over to the table and picked up an elixir and handed it to me, "Here, start with this and take it in order."

It seems that even the order of taking them has been arranged by him.

"What happens when these elixirs are taken together?" I couldn’t help but ask.

"You harbor a body that is invulnerable to all poisons, so naturally you can’t die, but your stomach is afraid that you’ll be in an uproar." The Poison King said indifferently, "Honestly follow what I say."

I took the elixir, but didn’t take it immediately, instead I opened my mouth and asked, "Dare I ask senior, these elixirs, what is their value?"

"Is this because you don’t believe me?" The Poison King raised an eyebrow.

"If I couldn’t trust you, I wouldn’t have asked." I said with a smile.

For such a bright and open person, honesty is the proper courtesy.

When the Poison King heard this, he stopped counting and quoted the price of each spirit medicine one by one. I silently calculated, and when the prices of all the spirit medicines were added together, I was shocked in my heart.

"This is beyond the silver I gave you."

"That last elixir was too rare, so I made the decision to add some." The Poison King said indifferently.

"You’re not adding some, you’re clearly hollowing out the foundation of the Heavenly Poison Forest, right?" I couldn’t help but say.

"How much family money does the Heavenly Poison Forest have, do you even need to worry about it?" The Poison King glared at me without any good humor, "Hurry up and take the medicine!"

For my sake, he, who is usually most afraid of trouble, even went out in person and took so many rides, how can I not accept this friendship?

"Then the latecomer will respectfully accept it." I solemnly accepted the elixir.

"The first one, Black Yang Dan, take it and run it for a week." The Poison King admonished.

I put the Black Yang Dan into my mouth as I was told, and just as soon as I entered the mouth, an indescribable bitterness exploded on the tip of my tongue, and I couldn’t help but furrow my brows.

"Well …… it’s so bitter! How can there be such bitter medicine?"

"If it were sweet, would it still be called poison?" The Poison King asked rhetorically.

I forced myself to endure the bitter taste and began to refine the medicinal power of the Black Yang Dan. Now that I had cultivated the Nine Hua Demonic Skill to its great completion, the speed of refining the medicinal power was naturally incomparable.

"Next is the Violet Weakness One Poison, this poison complements the Black Sun Dan and will not clash." The Poison King continued.

The bitter taste of the Violet Weakness One Poison was a bit better than the Black Yang Dan, and I was slightly relieved in my heart.

"And then there’s the Prana Taking Pill ……"

I was just about to say something, but I saw that the Poison King had already handed the Pill of Vampiric Snatching to me.

"Senior, even if I am invulnerable to all poisons, this flavor is too …… much," I said with a bitter face.

Before I could finish my words, the Poison King was quick to cover my mouth, forcing me to swallow the Vampire Snatching Pill.

I swallowed the Vibranium Snatching Pill with difficulty and looked at the Poison King grudgingly, "You wouldn’t be purposely retaliating against me for asking you to help buy the spirit medicine, would you?"

"If you want to use those fragrant elixirs to enhance your cultivation, the silver taels you give will have to be at least a few times higher." The Poison King said indifferently.

It’s a privilege to be invulnerable to all poisons.

"And, more bitter is yet to come." The Poison King added.

When I heard that, I stood up fiercely, clasped my fists and said, "Senior, it seems that I still need to practice more, and strive to be able to Poison Step the world without the use of internal force, that would be a true master!"

Seeing me about to bolt, the Poison King pressed me back into my seat.

I knew that he was half joking and half serious. It’s no exaggeration to say that I feel like my tongue and organs are on fire right now, and it’s not pleasant.

In this way, I endured the pain caused by the various elixirs while refining the medicinal power, and as it traveled through the meridians of my body, new elixirs would be sent into my mouth.

"Knowing that you’re afraid of bitterness, I’ve specially prepared a sweet one for you this time, so drink it." Poison King said, handing a bottle of potion to me.

I fixed my eyes on what was contained in that bottle, but it was actually Ten Thousand Blood Poison Water! How can this be considered sweet?

For the next few moments, it was as if I was transformed into a medicine pot, swallowing all kinds of unheard-of elixirs into my stomach.

Demon Spirit Divine Elixir, Hundred Spirits Purification Scatter, Thousand Scorpion Essence Blood, Xuan Yin Dan, Yin and Yang Two Poisonous Herbs, and Heavenly Extreme Bliss Incense ……

Some of these elixirs I had heard of before, and some I had never even heard of. Some of the elixirs were in large quantities, while others had only one copy.

Such a ponderous elixir, taken one after another, this is still the first time in my life, and I’m afraid that if I look at the entire jianghu, no one will be able to match it.

"Senior, are you sure that these spirit medicines can really be taken together?" I couldn’t help but ask.

"I’m not sure, after all, this is the first time I’ve encountered this situation." The Poison King said with interest.

Watching me refine so many toxins one by one, the Poison King’s eyes were filled with excitement. I guess it was also the first time he had seen someone able to dissolve the poison so easily. Compared to me, he seemed even more excited.

I even wonder if today’s incident will be recorded in the poison scripture he writes in the future. What will be the name?

"A study of the correlation between the all-poison body and toxic elixirs"?

No, given his character, he’d probably name it:

"How did I "torture" the body of all poisons?"

I can’t help but let out a bitter laugh at the thought.

Thus, under the "supervision" of the Poison King, I took all the pills, and the process lasted for quite a long time.

Take one, run for a week and a day, take another one, run for another week and a day …… I meticulously refined the medicinal power. With the help of the Jiu Hua Demon Technique, my efficiency in absorbing the medicinal power had increased a lot more than before.

During this period, I was also tortured several times by the toxicity and bitter flavor of the elixir. After all, being poisoned and actively taking poison are two completely different things.

"Alright, the last one, the Ten Thousand Poison Divine Pill." The Poison King solemnly handed an elixir to me.

This Ten Thousand Poison Divine Pill, which he purchased for me out of his own pocket, is also the most potent of all the elixirs that I took this time.

I took a deep breath and swallowed the Ten Thousand Poison Divine Elixir into my stomach, revolving the Nine Wonders Demon Technique and starting to refine the medicinal power.

The medicinal power rampaged through my body like a flash flood, unstoppable. In the end, all the medicinal power converged into my dantian, transforming into pure internal energy.

After all the medicinal power of the elixir had been refined, I continued to run for several more weeks before slowly opening my eyes.

At this moment, my dantian was filled with an unprecedentedly powerful internal force.

I know that without the Poison King’s help, I would never have been able to make such great progress in a short period of time on my own. Not only did he help me buy superior quality spirit pills, he also planned out the order in which I would take the pills for me, this favor, I will remember it in my heart.

I was able to feel that the current me was no longer weaker than anyone else in the jianghu in terms of internal force cultivation. This is not just because the total amount of internal force has been boosted, but more importantly, my internal force is purer and more condensed than before. This is of great benefit to my cultivation enhancement, especially to the cultivation of the Heaven-Slaying Secret Art.

My eyes do not intentionally look at the Poison King, from his shocked eyes, I can see, at this moment, compared to the previous, exactly how much I have changed. In the next moment, the shock in his eyes was even greater, because he realized that my eyes, which were as deep as the abyss, had regained their usual calmness under the effect of "Returning to the Essence".

"Just how far can you go?" The Poison King muttered, his tone filled with anticipation.

I was silent for a moment and said in a firm tone, "I will become strong enough, strong enough to guard everything I want to guard."

With that, I stood up, gave the Poison King a deep bow, and turned toward the door.

"We are all guarding you, the Demon Lord is guarding the Young Sect Master, do you understand?" Behind him, came the voice of the Poison King.

I stopped and looked back at the Poison King, my eyes burning, a hint of unprecedented majesty in my tone, "Poison King!"

The Poison King’s body shook slightly when he heard this, clearly intimidated by my sudden aura.

"Then make yourself stronger!" I said in a deep voice.

"!"
