Chapter 503: Chapter 502: Immune to All Poisons
Inside the furnace, there were still some other poisons and herbs, which Ding Ling had gathered from the first mountain stream to mix with the necessary poison ingredients.
As for the herbs.
He had prepared some along the way.
But ultimately, it wasn’t enough.
What surprised him was that there were quite a few herbs in this valley that complemented the Scarlet Venom Toad.
It saved Ding Ling from having to search outside the valley.
Using an iron claw staff, he captured the Scarlet Venom Toad and put it into the furnace, then sealed the furnace and quickly began searching for herbs in the surrounding caves and snake paths.
Where poison resides.
There must be antidotes.
Those words are true.
All things are interdependent and counteract each other; an age-old truth.
Ding Ling, having mastery of the Medical Dao, could discern the medicinal properties of various herbs with his keen perception.
Even if some unfamiliar herbs appeared before him, Ding Ling could roughly understand their properties by using the Medicine King Breathing Technique and the Medical Saint Breathing Technique for a slight sensory check.
You could say.
With two top-tier, full-level breathing techniques from the Medical Dao, along with countless secret manuals that Ding Ling had read, no herb in the Martial World could pose a challenge to him.
After half an hour.
Ding Ling collected enough herbs, wood, etc., returned to the location of the deep pool, and began to kindle a fire and refine pills.
As for how to concoct the Immune to All Poisons Pill, with the Scarlet Venom Toad as the main ingredient.
Ding Ling had long been prepared!
Mentally reviewing the process again, confirming there were no issues, he then activated the Burning Wood Saber Technique to ignite the flames.
The flames from the Flame Saber were too fierce, a bit overbearing for alchemy.
However, those from the Burning Wood Saber Technique were just right.
Once alchemy starts, there’s no reason to stop.
Ding Ling’s refinement.
Lasted for several hours.
After several hours.
Ding Ling opened the furnace, and inside were three emerald-green pills.
He took out one without hesitation and swallowed it.
[Constitution +1]
[Constitution +1]
[Constitution +1]
...
As soon as the pill entered his stomach, Ding Ling saw a series of notification messages flash across the character panel.
He didn’t pay much attention to them.
Instead, he started to perform the technique and breathing technique to refine the rolling medicinal power of the pill.
Since his technique and breathing technique were full level.
In just a moment.
He completed the refinement.
Ding Ling carefully sensed and found that he was like a fish in water with the miasma here, without any oppressive feeling at all.
Previously, although immune to all poisons, he had to constantly perform techniques to perfectly neutralize the miasma while staying here, but now he didn’t need to operate any cultivation technique and could stand here without concern.
Not only that.
Ding Ling approached the poison pool.
Found that the previously astonishing green poison mist didn’t harm him at all.
"It really enhanced me."
Ding Ling glanced at the character panel.
[Constitution +6]
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the Immune to All Poisons constitution.]
[Note: Immune to All Poisons refers to immunity against all toxins in the Historical Plane and Martial Hero Plane!]
It truly succeeded!
Ding Ling rejoiced.
He genuinely didn’t expect just one pill to achieve this.
Not only that, but his constitution had improved by 6 points.
A six-point enhancement.
Making Ding Ling feel that his endurance, vitality, immunity, stamina, etc., were enhanced by more than a notch.
"I never thought I’d be able to refine pills with such miraculous effects now."
Ding Ling glanced at the remaining two pills.
After some thought.
He swallowed another.
[Constitution +1]
As the rolling medicinal power was refined.
Ding Ling’s constitution was enhanced by another point.
"That’s all?!"
Ding Ling was astonished.
He pondered:
"It seems this kind of pill has the strongest transformation effect on the first one. After all, one pill has achieved an immune to all poisons constitution; eating more won’t have any use. This kind of resistance has evidently reached its peak. Perhaps the third pill would be completely wasted."
A single pill had perfected the body.
Eating more can’t transform it further, only improve it slightly.
Clearly.
This pill’s resistance is far beyond that of ordinary pills. But with its explosive effectiveness from just one, there’s no need to consume a second.
Ding Ling promptly put away the third pill.
This pill is likely the last of its kind in the Martial World!
Ding Ling finally surveyed this place, then decisively walked to the front of the deep pool and plucked the strange flower.
After being picked, the strange flower blossomed with emerald-green light throughout.
After careful sensing, Ding Ling understood:
"This is a strange flower capable of neutralizing all poisons. Indeed, everything is interdependent and counteracts each other; in the Scarlet Venom Toad’s dwelling, there exists a flower capable of neutralizing its toxins!"
Now immune to all poisons, Ding Ling didn’t need this flower.
But others might need it.
He placed the flower into the storage pouch.
Then he took off his clothes and leaped into the deep pool; the water here was extremely toxic, but now Ding Ling didn’t feel a thing when drinking the poison water, so why would he fear it?
He dove to the bottom of the pool, picked up that emerald-glowing pearl, and surveyed the surroundings, seeing no other anomalies, before surfacing.
After getting dressed again.
He played with the green pearl, sensing and probing.
"What exactly is this?!"
Ding Ling was astounded.
He found that, with his current capabilities, he was unable to discern the origins of this green pearl.
"Could this thing be akin to the ancient bamboo slip recording the ’Thirty-Six Celestial Spirit Axe Techniques’ from the Three Kingdoms World, originating from ancient times? Or even older? Or perhaps simply without a known origin?"
Ding Ling didn’t know.
But he was certain it had a purpose.
Reflecting.
The Scarlet Venom Toad dwelled here, undoubtedly to utilize it!
And after Ding Ling took this green pearl away, the poison mist above the deep pool began to dissipate slowly, and the pool of poisonous water seemed to turn clear.
Clearly, this green pearl was the principal entity here! Its departure immediately changed the scene.
"Perhaps the Scarlet Venom Toad was initially just a regular toad, transformed into the King of Ten Thousand Poisons because of this green pearl?"
Ding Ling speculated:
"If my guess is correct, then the Lightning Mink likely came for this green pearl. I’ll let it try when I return?"
But Ding Ling dared not let the Ferghana Horse try.
This thing is clearly poisonous.
Fearing the Ferghana Horse would drop dead instantly upon trying.
The Lightning Mink, a creature fond of poisonous snakes and venomous things, might favor this pearl with its pure poison; possibly, it would take a liking to it.
Ding Ling could only sense that this green pearl contained a lot of poison gas that could be absorbed by external objects.
Besides poison gas.
This green pearl seemed to harbor something else within.
But what exactly.
With Ding Ling’s shallow cultivation at present, he was unable to discern.
He stored the green pearl in his storage pouch, activated his Fusion Qi, and with the full exertion of the Cloud Smoke Flying Evasion Technique, he transformed into a wisp of smoke and exited the snake cave, shooting straight into the sky.
A moment later.
Ding Ling climbed the mountain wall to reach the summit.
