Chapter 2220: Chapter 2220: I Will Make You Wish You Were Dead!
Ye Haochuan quickly became immersed in the ocean of pill knowledge, completely unaware of Rui’er’s odd behavior.
"Poison Avoidance Pill, what a wonderful thing!" Ye Haochuan spotted one of the few pills listed in the Mysterious Pill Treasure Record, and a trace of delight appeared in his heart.
This Poison Avoidance Pill isn’t a detoxification pill, but rather a prevention pill that effectively blocks all toxins from entering the body. As long as it is taken beforehand, the body will reject the absorption even if the poison is ingested.
Of course, it is only effective against Mysterious Pills of the second rank and below.
Not much, but it should be enough to deal with the Poison Widow, he didn’t believe that the Poison Widow could concoct third-rank poisons.
Without hesitating, Ye Haochuan quickly gathered herbs in the medicinal garden and surprisingly managed to assemble all the ingredients needed for the Poison Avoidance Pill.
Ye Haochuan increasingly admired his earlier decision to move all these herbs into the Minor World, so he wouldn’t have to worry about alchemy materials in the future.
Next came alchemy.
Ye Haochuan’s alchemical skill still remained at the level of a Mysterious Pill Master, without breaking through to become a Mysterious Pill Grandmaster, so he could only concoct one-rank Mysterious Pills.
However, the alchemical methods he brought from Earth seemed to be much more refined than those native to the Immortal Realm, a fact he already discovered during his last attempts at concocting the Nine Revolutions Reconnection Pill and other pills.
To be safe, Ye Haochuan prepared extra materials, planning to attempt it multiple times.
The method for concocting two-rank Mysterious Pills was not much different from concocting one-rank Mysterious Pills, except for the technique of solidifying the pill and the pill formula used when receiving the pill.
Ye Haochuan was amazed to find that, when using his alchemical techniques combined with the Manual of Returning to the Origin of Wondrous Flowers, concocting two-rank pills was actually quite smooth.
On the very first attempt, he successfully concocted a Poison Avoidance Pill, though it contained many impurities, and he only produced one pill, it was still a very good start.
After some slight adjustments, Ye Haochuan opened the furnace once again.
Before long, the aroma of medicine filled the air, and after skillfully executing the pill formula, he successfully harvested six Mortal Level Poison Avoidance Pills.
"I never thought the alchemical methods brought out from Xuanmen would be so powerful, without even encountering a bottleneck in alchemy. If only my cultivation were higher, I might even be able to concoct three-rank Mysterious Pills!" Ye Haochuan was amazed and shocked.
Saying this, he glanced at the ancient pill furnace, furrowing his brows slightly.
This pill furnace, ever since being gifted to him by Ming Lang, had always served as his sole alchemical vessel. Even now, he still couldn’t determine the level of this furnace.
"It’s one thing to concoct ordinary Spirit Pills, but to also concoct one-rank Mysterious Pills is already quite unbelievable, and now it can even concoct two-rank Mysterious Pills. This pill furnace is indeed extraordinary!"
Generally, pill furnaces would likely explode from being unable to withstand the process when concocting high-level pills.
However, this ancient pill furnace remained as light as ever, even when concocting two-rank Mysterious Pills, truly making Ye Haochuan view it in a new light.
"Forget it, I’ll study this pill furnace slowly in the future, the priority now is to capture that Poison Widow!"
Ye Haochuan quickly swallowed a Poison Avoidance Pill, then shifted his thoughts and reappeared in the Endless Blood Abyss.
The black poison mist had already spread over most of the area, though quite a bit remained.
Ye Haochuan cautiously took a few steps within, ready to retreat quickly at the first sign of trouble.
To his delight, the black poison mist invaded his body, even entering through his nose, yet it felt like ordinary water vapor, causing him no harm at all.
It was his clothing that suffered instead, corroded completely at a speed visible to the naked eye, giving Ye Haochuan a taste of the fun of being bare-skinned.
Ye Haochuan relaxed completely this time, summoning Little Lei and once again conducting a thorough search of the Endless Blood Abyss.
After half an hour, the effect of the Poison Avoidance Pill wore off, but Ye Haochuan did not take another. The pills were limited after all, and would be most effective when used upon finding the Poison Widow.
However the Endless Blood Abyss was indeed vast, and after wandering around for two hours, neither he nor Little Lei found any trace of the Poison Widow.
Instead, Little Lei, having absorbed a large amount of Blood Miasma, once again encountered cultivation bottlenecks.
Ye Haochuan had no choice but to bring Little Lei back into the Minor World to let him break through.
Fortunately, the Poison Avoidance Pill also had a noticeable effect on the Blood Miasma, allowing Ye Haochuan to continue his search.
Ye Haochuan searched meticulously, progressing slowly, encountering many of those Strange-Headed Demon Beasts along the way, all of which he decapitated.
However, he noticed that as he advanced, the cultivation of these Strange-Headed Demon Beasts also increased. The creatures here had all reached the level of Immortal Transformation Peak, with some seemingly hovering between Immortal Transformation and True Immortal, in a unique boundary.
After slaughtering another Strange-Headed Demon Beast, Ye Haochuan’s Heavenly Eye finally rediscovered the Poison Widow.
At this moment, the Poison Widow sat cross-legged at the center of a blood-colored pool, seemingly cultivating.
The blood-colored pool—its composition a mystery—was continuously bubbling as if boiling.
"That’s... Shuying!" Upon startled spotting of Jiang Shuying, whose only visible feature was her head protruding from the blood pool, Ye Haochuan’s heart clenched abruptly.
"Bastard, what are you doing to Shuying?" Ye Haochuan, filled with wrath, roared and charged toward Jiang Shuying.
The Poison Widow’s eyes flicked open in surprise, her elderly face filled with consternation upon seeing Ye Haochuan.
Confident in the virulence of her poison mist, she couldn’t believe Ye Haochuan had escaped unscathed. His sudden safe appearance before her stunned her utterly.
However, her shocked expression quickly turned icy, speaking coldly, "Brat, I don’t know how you survived my Thousand Spiders Venomous Pill, but this time, I’ll ensure nothing remains of you."
Saying so, she swiftly sent several odd pills flying toward Ye Haochuan.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The pills exploded into a mist of variously hued poisons, enveloping Ye Haochuan entirely.
The Poison Widow wore a smug expression knowing each of these poisons was of world-shattering potency, capable of bringing instant death. Deployed together, Ye Haochuan would not leave behind even a sliver of bone.
Yet, in the next moment, she was dumbstruck.
Ye Haochuan pierced through the poison mists instantly, showing no sign of poisoning beyond some damage to his clothes.
"Impossible!" The Poison Widow felt as if her worldview had imploded.
Unwilling to believe, she once again released countless Poison Needles.
Hiss, hiss~
While Ye Haochuan parried most, he was still hit by a few needles.
Yet, Ye Haochuan remained unaffected by poison.
Before she could attempt once more, Ye Haochuan had already reached Jiang Shuying, scooping her from the blood pool into his arms, glaring coldly at the Poison Widow, his voice seething with fury.
"You wretched crone, I’ll make you wish for death over life!"
