Chapter 776 - 704: The King of Divine Medicine?_1
And at this moment.
From behind.
“Everyone, I, Luo, am at my wit’s end!”
Luo Changtian looked at the medicinal herbs before him and let out a deep sigh, throwing the book in his hand to the ground, giving up completely.
The herbs that had appeared now were beyond his knowledge.
Moreover, Divine Medicine and poison were mixed together, making them too difficult to distinguish.
Poison King was also covered in sweat, saying:
“Just the two of us, it won’t work.”
“Now there’s only one way!”
He looked at the people around him and said:
“Trial by poison!”
Trial by poison!
Upon hearing this, the Lin Family, the Wang Family, and the others all showed subtle changes in their expressions.
“We can roughly tell where there are fewer poisonous herbs, but we can no longer accurately identify them. This is indeed the only method,” said Luo Changtian.
“Let’s try the poison over there!”
Lin Banyang spoke directly.
Immediately, the major families sent out expendable individuals to begin the trial by poison!
Using this method, they slowly progressed.
Not long after.
“Eh… is this, could this be King of Divine Medicine?”
Luo Changtian pointed at a few stalks of sugar cane in front with a gleam in his eyes.
Poison King also said:
“It’s not the true King of Divine Medicine, but it seems close…”
At these words, everyone was overjoyed!
Something close to King of Divine Medicine could be called a treasure among medicines.
“We’ll go pick them!”
Lin Lantian spoke up.
But Lin Lanfeng stopped him, saying:
“Hold on!”
“Let someone test for poison first, to be completely safe!”
There had already been several instances of misjudgment by Poison King and Medicine King along the way… they had to be cautious.
As he spoke, he swept a glance around, then suddenly turned to Hu Wushuang and said:
“You, go!”
Hu Wushuang trembled immediately. Was he being asked to go?
This was it…
He was extremely fearful in his heart, but now had no choice but to step forward cautiously and carefully broke off a stalk of sugar cane to eat.
“This… this is Divine Medicine!”
But immediately following, he rejoiced greatly.
No poison!
Everyone was thrilled, and all at once, they harvested all the sugar cane. Only the top-tier Venerable figures managed to get some.
“Continue moving forward, with my knowledge of Divine Medicine Cane, it must grow in clusters. There should be more ahead!”
Luo Changtian spoke with certainty.
Soon enough, they indeed came across another cluster of sugar cane!
And every stalk had an immensely powerful aura.
“King of Divine Medicine… the true King of Divine Medicine!”
“The best of Divine Medicine, something even God Emperors find difficult to obtain!”
“Throughout the ages, there have not been more than a hundred stalks of Divine Medicine King in the world, and to have so many here?!”
Everyone was thrilled!
King of Divine Medicine was extremely rare even in the Yang Realm.
It was even considered to be exclusive to God Emperors.
Since ancient times, only those at the level of Divine Emperor had the chance to enjoy it!
“Such a divine item!”
Wang Jiyun’s old eyes flashed with greed!
“King of Divine Medicine… Ha ha, truly, a land of opportunity, a land of opportunity indeed!”
Lin Banyang also laughed heartily.
Even though they had both become God Emperors, they had yet to obtain King of Divine Medicine.
As the standard for God Emperors, getting it now would make things perfect.
“My lord, let me, let me try for poison again?”
At that moment, Hu Wushuang looked at Lin Lanfeng with an expectant face.
But Lin Lanfeng slapped him away with a backhand!
“What do you think you are? Coveting the King of Divine Medicine?”
Lin Lanfeng spoke disdainfully and stepping forward respectfully, he said:
“God Emperor, please!”
King of Divine Medicine, even Venerable and Sub-Emperor figures had no right to touch it.
It was exclusive to God Emperors!
At that moment, Lin Banyang and Wang Jiyun both went forward happily.
“A total of eleven stalks, you and I will each take five, and the remaining one can be given to the others to share evenly, how about that?”
Wang Jiyun spoke up.
Hearing this, Lin Banyang also nodded and said:
“Agreed!”
Immediately, the two of them waved their hands grandly, each taking five stalks of Divine Medicine Cane, and the last stalk was tossed to Luo Jiangyou and the others.
Luo Jiangyou and the others, having obtained King of Divine Medicine, were also extremely excited. They took great care in dividing it, with Lin Lantian, Lin Lanfeng, Wang Xuantian, and others each receiving a small piece!
“This is a divine item… I’ll refine it right now!”
After a moment of thought, Lin Banyang bit into it and began to eat the sugar cane!
Across from him, Wang Jiyun did the same.
——Both men appeared amiable, but it was merely a reluctant truce, as neither felt confident about killing the other, being in a mutual balance of detente.
At such a moment, an increase in one’s realm by even a fraction could potentially break the balance.
Therefore, both men were now greedy to advance, biting into the canes voraciously!
However, both had only chewed a few bites and hadn’t even swallowed properly when they suddenly stopped in their tracks.
“No… this… vomit!”
Lin Banyang hurriedly spat out the sugar cane from his mouth.
But his mouth had already completely rotted away, turned black and foul-smelling.
“My… my mouth… it hurts so much…”
Wang Jiyun too let out a wretched scream, collapsing to the ground, clutching his stomach, trembling and howling miserably, to an extreme!
Behind them, Lin Lanfeng, Lin Lantian, and others had also started to scream terribly in an instant.
Anyone who had touched the sugar cane was now suffering from severe poisoning symptoms: their mouths ulcerated, their vital energies in chaos, and hallucinations appearing!
“No!”
“What is happening…”
“Woof woof, woof woof woof… I am a dog…”
The strong characters in the field collapsed in large numbers!
Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
“What’s going on? Isn’t this… isn’t this the King of Divine Medicine? How did it become poison?”
“Impossible, what on earth is going on…”
“It’s so strange, it’s clearly the same medicine, we were fine eating it before, how did it become deadly poison now?”
Everyone was uncertain and felt their scalps tingle with dread!
Mainly because even the Grey Mist God Emperor was kneeling down at this moment, curled up on the ground, twisting and foaming at the mouth!
Even these two Divine Emperors had lost control of their bodily functions and seemed to have lost their minds, insane and foolish, grabbing their excretions and smearing it all over themselves!
This was simply too horrifying.
“Have the Divine Emperors gone mad?”
“No… we should retreat, this place is forbidden ground!”
“Even the Divine Emperors can’t withstand it… what right do we have to move forward!”
Everyone was completely panicked.
“Du Wang, Medicine King, save us… save us, please!”
Lin Lanfeng lay prostrate in front of Luo Changtian and Du Chenshi, pleading desperately, his whole body had become depleted, like an empty shell!
“This… this is a poison of the King of Divine Medicine’s level, there’s no cure!”
Luo Changtian sighed heavily!
“In my whole life dealing with poison, I have never seen such a poison… there’s no cure… “
Du Chenshi too shook his head!
The poison had exceeded their understanding.
And at this moment, Emperor Shule Haojue of the Gold-Devouring Rat Clan beside them had an extremely somber expression!
He hadn’t taken the King of Divine Medicine just now.
Now, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
“These idiots… just blindly eating anything!”
He truly wished these people would just die.
But… this would disrupt Emperor Haochi’s grand plans!
Emperor Haochi was still waiting for these two Divine Emperors to open that door…
They couldn’t die yet!
With this thought, he immediately stepped forward, producing a Jade Vial in his hand!
Within the Jade Vial, green mist swirled!
—During their exploration of this mysterious land, they had once encountered some deep blue, deadly poisons.
Yet within that deadly poison, there was a mysterious and unfathomable breath of life.
The green mist in this Jade Vial was refined with all their clan’s effort, and could neutralize all poisons in the world!
It could be called a Supreme treasure!
But now… they couldn’t care about that anymore.
He stepped forward and placed the Jade Vial near the noses and mouths of Lin Banyang and Wang Jiyun, letting each inhale a breath of it.
The moment the green mist entered their bodies, their symptoms miraculously eased instantly!
The decay of their mouths seemed to halt, and in their previously vacant eyes, a glimmer of consciousness began to return.
“I… I’m not dead?”
Wang Jiyun trembled as he spoke.
“What kind of poison is this… I feel like I’ve died over ten thousand times…”
Lin Banyang struggled to get up, he reached out and touched his decaying lips, but felt a strange smell on his hand. Looking down, his mental state instantly collapsed.
“Damn it… I, I’ve lost control?”
Lin Banyang’s whole body began to tremble; he realized that his hands and body were all covered!
“No!”
At this moment, he felt… as if he were about to die of embarrassment!
His heart trembled, and tears started to fall as he hastily waved his hand, summoning a rolling grey mist to conceal his body.
Wang Jiyun did the same at his side.
By now, Shule Haojue had also revived Wang Xuantian, Lin Lantian, and the others.
All were in a sorry state, yet they felt a sense of relief for surviving the catastrophe.
“We lived… we’ve managed to survive.”
Lin Lanfeng gasped for air, while a hint of regret rose in his heart.
Damn it, I should’ve had someone test the poison first!
He couldn’t help looking toward Hu Wushuang, saying angrily:
“You come here, kid. From now on, you’ll test every Divine Medicine first!”
Hu Wushuang’s face immediately turned ugly.
Meanwhile, Shule Haojue looked at Hu Wushuang, somewhat puzzled…
Hu Wushuang was really lucky too, surviving until now…
He suddenly remembered that preeminent figure of fortune …
Could it be that the name “Wushuang” brings luck??
He suddenly wanted to change his own name to Shule Wushuang…
Eventually, everyone finished recuperating.
They continued to advance, and on the road that followed, the people who had experienced the ordeal of life and death became even more careful.
Essentially any medicine was tested for poison first!
They even used their mounts for testing poison.
Even Divine Beast mounts like the Nine-Headed Serpent and Yinglong were killed by the poison.
Only the Fire Phoenix, Hu Wushuang, and a few others remained.
“The fog up ahead is thinning out!”
Finally, someone cried out!
They crossed the sea of grass, only to see a vast ocean of Two-Leaf Clovers ahead!
“No… these are all poisonous herbs!”
Du Wang’s expression changed drastically.
“You’re wrong… these, these are all Divine Medicine!”
Luo Changtian exclaimed!
Hearing this, everyone was confused. Why were these two old men saying completely opposite things?
“No… I understand now, these grasses, they are both Divine Medicine and poison?”
Du Wang observed a patch of Two-Leaf Clover for a long time and suddenly his complexion changed!
Luo Changtian quickly reached the same conclusion.
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay.
This meant that… no matter where they went, they couldn’t avoid the poison!
“No, look here… doesn’t this feel as if it’s been grazed by cattle?”
At this time, a cultivator suddenly spoke up.
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, and they saw a path that had been grazed bare amidst the dense sea of grass…
It was as if it had been cleanly eaten by cattle…
Seeing this path, everyone was stunned.
“What kind of beast is this, eating it so cleanly… and eating so much of it!”
…
Goodnight.
