Chapter 418 - 170: Tallying the Spoils, Darkening Technique, Water Refining Technique, Communication Request
Next, he poured bottles of Vitality Spiritual Liquid into the container.
However, the Ten Thousand Poison Grass was after all extremely toxic, and once contaminated, even Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators would find it difficult to endure, risking their lives.
Therefore, he was very cautious during cultivation, maintaining a safe distance.
He constantly monitored his own condition, especially keeping an eye on the Antitoxic Pill in his mouth, ready to react and retreat if it was rapidly consumed.
Annual Ring Skill, Annual Ring Skill, Annual Ring Skill...
As each Annual Ring Skill was cast, Zhou Changwang simultaneously poured bottles of Vitality Spiritual Liquid into the mix.
Nine hundred ninety-four years, nine hundred ninety-five years, nine hundred ninety-six years...
Once the Vitality Spiritual Liquid was completely consumed, he switched to Demon Beast Spiritual Liquid.
During the process, he felt some discomfort in his body and hurriedly swallowed an Antitoxic Pill.
Upon discovering the effect was unsatisfactory, he promptly took out the bottle of Second Grade Initial Tier Antidote Pill.
This Second Grade Initial Tier Antidote Pill was acquired from Teng Peng, with only two pills left, which proved useful at this moment.
Nine hundred ninety-nine years...
While madly cultivating the Ten Thousand Poison Grass, Zhou Changwang also paid attention to his surroundings.
He deployed Derivation Technique, Spirit Eye Technique, and Ghost Eye Skill to the maximum.
Guarding against potential dangers.
Perhaps the overwhelming power of the Green-Eyed Poison Flame Python deterred nearby demon beasts, none dared approach.
As for cultivators?
The strong ones had already ventured deep into the four regions of Divine Wind Valley, and the weaker ones dared not come near this infamous poison area.
Thus, everything went relatively smoothly.
When he cast the final Annual Ring Skill.
Buzz!
The Ten Thousand Poison Grass suddenly radiated Spiritual Light.
Immediately, endless poisonous mist within tens of miles madly surged toward the Ten Thousand Poison Grass.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
Zhou Changwang felt the Antitoxic Pill within him rapidly depleting, prompting a speedy retreat.
Soon, he saw the originally pitch-black leaves of the Ten Thousand Poison Grass rapidly turning red.
One corner, two corners, three corners...
Until all nine corners turned red.
Radiant like a flower!
Amazingly beautiful.
"The Ten Thousand Poison Grass has matured!
Officially upgraded to Thousand-Year Poison Grass."
Amidst his excitement, Zhou Changwang hesitated.
At this moment, the toxicity of the Ten Thousand Poison Grass was at its peak, making it impossible to approach.
But it was then that good fortune appeared, and the Power of Creation swept over.
Countless poisonous insects around seemed to be drawn by some special force, rushing toward the Ten Thousand Poison Grass.
Then, as if recalling something, he quickly summoned the Golden Armor King Flying Cicada.
Buzz~!
Almost instantly, the Golden Armor King Flying Cicada became agitated, instinctively wanting to charge toward the Thousand-Year Poison Grass.
However, it was held back by Zhou Changwang.
At this time, the medicinal properties and toxicity of the Ten Thousand Poison Grass were too potent.
It was simply beyond what the Third-Layer Qi Cultivation level Golden Armor King Flying Cicada could endure.
He controlled the Golden Armor King Flying Cicada to absorb the dispersed Power of Creation around, as well as the poisonous qi released upon the maturation of the Ten Thousand Poison Grass.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
After a while, the Power of Creation dissipated.
The poisonous mist remained overwhelmingly dense.
And the surrounding poisonous insects grew increasingly numerous and powerful.
In Divine Wind Valley, a place constantly shrouded in poisonous mist, the number of poisonous insects and creatures was beyond counting.
When poisonous insects comparable to Fifth-layer Qi Cultivation began to appear, Zhou Changwang dared not delay, flipping his hand to take out another Second Grade Initial Tier Antidote Pill, swallowing it, then quickly rushing to the Thousand-Year Poison Grass, uprooting it swiftly and sealing it in a Jade Box.
Thus, the surrounding poisonous insects calmed down from their frenzy.
And instinctively launched an attack on Zhou Changwang.
Buzz buzz buzz...
At this moment, Zhou Changwu didn’t need to make a move.
Almost instantly, the Golden Armor King Flying Cicada spread its wings, its body swiftly turning.
Splat!
The nearest poisonous insects were directly slain by it.
Then its forelimbs danced crazily, as if the top swordsman of the era, constantly making strikes.
Its sharp forelimbs swiftly reaped the lives of the poisonous insects one by one.
In just a few short breaths, dozens of insects cried out in woe, sprawling on the ground.
Meanwhile, Zhou Changwang quickly collected the surrounding Spirit Soil, particularly the Profound Yellow Spirit Soil.
Of course, this also included Spirit Soil native to Poison Hill.
Capable of nurturing so many Ten Thousand Poison Grass, fostering nearly thousand-year-old Ten Thousand Poison Spirit Grass, these Spirit Soil were by no means ordinary.
He took care to collect some, packing them into his Storage Bag.
Only then did he recall the Golden Armor King Flying Cicada, placing it back into the Storage Bag, and swiftly departed.
Half an hour passed.
Dusk fully descended.
Zhou Changwang soon found a cave and settled inside.
This cave was originally the lair of a Black-haired Pig Demon; after slaying the Pig Demon, the lair naturally became his domain.
Since it was a High-Tier First Grade Pig Demon, it was likely the overlord of a small area.
For a short term, there was no worry about other demon beasts daring to intrude.
Of course, to avoid accidents, he setup a small defense array and a Sound Insulation Array outside, sufficient to fend off low-tier demon beasts without any issue.
"This journey to Divine Wind Valley, though rife with unexpected events, has resulted in substantial rewards."
