Chapter 342: The World’s Ten Deadliest Poisons
"We’re here. It’s just ahead," Kristiman said, pointing to the huge cavern in front of them.
That was the lair of the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.
Hearing this, Li Wei was the first to step into the cave.
He threw out a Fireball. It floated in midair, illuminating the dim cave.
Everything inside the cave was clearly revealed before them.
The remains of the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s leftover prey were scattered everywhere.
The smell inside the cave was not pleasant.
However, Kristiman’s wind fortunately carried the foul odor away.
So Li Wei and the others weren’t overwhelmed by the cave’s stench.
Li Wei quickly scanned the cave’s interior, searching for the location of the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass.
"There it is," Lilith said, pointing to the upper part of the cave wall.
Li Wei followed her finger and saw several black herbs growing on the cave wall.
Kristiman warned, "Be careful. There’s a drop of Poison Dragon Saliva up there. It’s extremely dangerous. If you get it on you, not even the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass can completely cure the poison."
Li Wei nodded. "Mm, I know."
A faint blue light appeared around him. He cast the Object Control Skill and flew toward the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass high up in the cave.
Li Wei glanced over and saw only five stalks of Poison Dragon Saliva Grass.
But thankfully, that was enough.
Bella and Evelyn each needed two stalks.
Li Wei carefully used Mage’s Hand to pick the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass.
He delicately wrapped the entire stalk of Poison Dragon Saliva Grass with Mana, separating its roots from the soil completely intact.
This was thanks to his Cultivation reaching Tier Three Peak a while back.
His Spiritual Power had improved even further.
Otherwise, he really wouldn’t have been able to perform such a delicate operation.
After carefully picking the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass, Li Wei looked up, searching for the Poison Dragon Saliva.
After glancing around, he found a trace of the "Poison Dragon Saliva" in a rock crevice.
Poison Dragon Saliva was the ultimate poison of the Wind Poison Dragon, the very essence of its venom.
Even a Wind Poison Dragon needed a very long time to condense a single drop.
The Poison Dragon Saliva Li Wei saw had already turned into a stone.
A purplish-black stone.
The Poison Dragon Saliva had solidified, its toxicity contained within, drastically reducing its effect on the outside world.
Otherwise, Li Wei might have been poisoned to death just by getting close.
Even a Magic Shield couldn’t withstand an attack from the Poison Dragon Saliva.
It was one of the Wind Poison Dragon’s most powerful attacks.
Li Wei took out the Secret Silver Clamp and Secret Silver Box he had prepared beforehand.
These two items were essential for collecting the Poison Dragon Saliva.
The Power of the Poison Dragon Saliva was too great; even Mage’s Hand would be corroded by its toxicity.
A moment of carelessness could even lead to his Spiritual Power being "poisoned."
Poison Dragon Saliva was known as one of the ten most potent poisons in the world.
It could even poison a soul until it scattered and dissipated.
This was already a form of Rule Power.
The Rule of Poison.
Mithril could insulate against the toxins of the Poison Dragon Saliva.
Li Wei carefully used the Secret Silver Clamp to pick the hardened stone of Poison Dragon Saliva out of the crevice.
He placed it in the Secret Silver Box, closed the lid tightly, and put it away.
Only after doing all this did he let out a sigh of relief.
’Thankfully, everything went smoothly.’
When Li Wei was handling the Poison Dragon Saliva, he didn’t dare use even a bit of force.
He was afraid of accidentally crushing the outer hard shell and causing the Poison Dragon Saliva to leak out.
If the Poison Dragon Saliva were to leak, everyone in this cave would die.
In fact, every living creature in the entire Poisonous Scorpion Beast Nest would die.
Its power was just that tyrannical.
Li Wei returned to the group and handed two stalks of Poison Dragon Saliva Grass to Kristiman.
"How do we use it?" Li Wei asked.
Bella took a stalk of Poison Dragon Saliva Grass directly, plucked a leaf, and began chewing on it.
A moment later, the color in her face improved significantly.
"Just put the leaves in your mouth and chew them."
She glanced at Evelyn and said, "Her condition is more serious. We need to go back and use Magic Tools to extract the detoxifying essence from the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass."
Hearing this, Li Wei said, "I have some right here."
He took out the Beginner’s Alchemy Equipment he had bought earlier.
To be on the safe side, Li Wei planned to experiment in the Dream World first to avoid wasting the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass.
He said, "Wait a moment."
"Shadow Attendant."
The Shadow Attendant quickly came behind Li Wei, transformed into the shape of a chair, and Li Wei sat down.
He cast the Great Dream Traveling Skill and slipped into the Dream World.
In the Dream World, Li Wei practiced refining the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass.
After failing a few times, he successfully extracted the detoxifying essence of the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass.
He practiced more to guarantee a one hundred percent success rate.
Li Wei left the Dream World.
He had been in the Dream World for a long time, but to Lilith and the others, only a short while seemed to have passed.
Seeing Li Wei extract the detoxifying essence from the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass, Bella showed a look of surprise. "You’re an Alchemist, too?"
Li Wei smiled. "I only know some simple Alchemy. I wouldn’t call myself a real Alchemist."
He had never professionally studied the skills of an Alchemist.
The Alchemy he learned was only for concocting a few specific Magic Potions and Secret Medicines.
He had no intention of delving deep into the field of Alchemy.
Alchemy was far more than just concocting potions.
Biological Alchemy, Material Transformation Alchemy, Puppet Alchemy... it was incredibly complex.
The knowledge an Alchemist had to learn was no less than that of a Mage.
The knowledge both studied just had different focuses.
Alchemists focused more on the rules of change between substances, studying matter itself.
Mages focused more on the Magic Rules behind the world, studying Magic Truth.
All paths lead to the same truth.
In essence, both explored the underlying rules and principles of the world.
Both sought the truth of the world.
There was no distinction of superior or inferior, only different methods and paths.
Li Wei fed Evelyn the antidote extracted from the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass.
After Evelyn drank the antidote, the color in her face quickly improved.
Half an hour later, Evelyn woke up.
By then, the group had already left the Poisonous Scorpion Beast Nest and were heading toward Kristiman and Bella’s residence in the Peach Blossom Spring Realm.
"Ngh... where is this? What happened? Where are those Magic Beasts?"
Evelyn asked, holding her forehead with a slight headache.
She felt like she had forgotten a lot of things.
It took her a moment to remember what had happened to her.
Her first reaction was to scan her surroundings for any danger.
Seeing Li Wei and Lilith beside her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Evelyn, you’re finally awake!"
Kristiman said happily.
Bella asked, "How are you feeling? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"
Hearing their voices, Evelyn froze for a moment.
These two voices were incredibly familiar to her.
She turned her head and saw Kristiman and Bella, her face filled with boundless joy.
"Kuris, Bella, you’re alive!"
Evelyn was overjoyed.
Bella laughed. "What are you talking about? You’re not even dead yet, how could I die before you?"
Kristiman said with a smile, "It’s been almost eight years since we last saw each other. How is Elis doing now?"
Evelyn said, "Elis is still in Flying Flower City. I can’t find him either, but he comes to see me occasionally."
Remembering her purpose for coming here, she quickly asked, "Where is Alice, the Lord City Lord?"
Kristiman and Bella glanced at each other, their smiles vanishing. "The Lord City Lord’s situation is not optimistic."
