Chapter 2225 - 2221: The Four Great Strange Poisons

Chapter 2225: Chapter 2221: The Four Great Strange Poisons

When fusing the medicine liquid, Tang Ming decided to combine them one by one this time. Due to the previous explosion, Tang Ming was extremely cautious during the fusion of the medicine liquid.

The medicine liquid was placed from intense to weak, one by one into the alchemy furnace for fusion. Each time a new medicine liquid was added to the alchemy furnace, the existing liquid would boil a bit more.

Tang Ming’s mouth twitched; his previous action was indeed reckless. Not to mention trying to fuse them all at once, even doing it step by step like now, the Sky Melting Ointment could still cause an explosion.

"Concentrate, stay calm, concentrate, stay calm."

Tang Ming silently chanted in his mind as he put one kind of immortal elixir-made medicine liquid into the furnace.

The bubbling sounds echoed continuously; several times the medicine liquid boiled up, but Tang Ming quickly suppressed it using the Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod.

When all the medicine liquids were placed into the alchemy furnace, the previously heat-radiating liquid promptly calmed down, slowly solidifying into a piece of dark red ointment.

The ointment lacked the fragrant scent of the immortal elixir and felt somewhat cool to the touch.

Yet, when Tang Ming withdrew his probing finger from the Sky Melting Ointment, he was surprised to find his finger had turned black-red.

"This is fire poison."

Tang Ming gaped in shock, his face showing a look of ecstatic joy.

The Thousand Evil Poison Technique contains extensive records on poisons, including herb-based poisons, the lust poison taught by Tang Ming’s adoptive father, and rare poisons seldom found in the world.

Such as the water poison of the underground river, the fire poison which burns all things, the earth poison of barren lands, and the wind poison from the world’s end as legend has it.

Fire poison can consume all, also being the source of all creation. It is said that fire poison was the key to Nuwa’s ability to create humans.

Fire poison entered the clay figure’s body, granting it a soul and turning it into a human.

Thus, when alive, people possess fire power, which leads to the saying of life ending like a lamp extinguishing when dead.

Upon the creation of the Thousand Evil Poison Technique, there was a saying that obtaining the four great rare poisons would elevate it to the rank of Ten Thousand Evil Poison Technique.

Tang Ming had searched for many years, unexpectedly discovering fire poison during the concoction of the Sky Melting Ointment.

The Thousand Evil Poison Technique quickly activated, as strands of fire poison flowed from Tang Ming’s fingers into his body.

Tang Ming’s body felt like a cooked shrimp; an indescribable heat surged throughout.

The Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod hummed loudly.

At the center of Qiankun Nine Palace Realm, the nine-headed Goose Deer poked its head out from the water, observing Tang Ming in amazement through the pavilion connecting the realm’s exterior.

"What is he doing? Wasn’t he refining pills before? How did things turn out like this?"

All eighteen eyes of the nine-headed Goose Deer became serious.

"Boss, I think this looks like the world-ending fire poison. What is the kid up to? Is he seeking death?"

One of the goose heads opened its mouth wide, seemingly recognizing something astonishing.

"Why hurry? Can’t you see his power is enhancing? Yet he’s already at the peak of Foundation Establishment. This kid is being a bit greedy; activate the formation and draw him in for me."

The central goose head, noticing something interesting, added a rarely-seen glint to its eyes.

"As you command. Brothers, the boss has ordered, activate the sub-formation."

The eight goose heads simultaneously emitted eight beams of different colored light, while the central goose head opened its mouth wide, combining the emitted beams together.

Immense power surged within Tang Ming’s body, for the first time, he felt an indescribable ecstasy.

Even during dual cultivation absorbing the lust poison with Hu Mei’er, Tang Ming hadn’t experienced such pleasure.

The benefits fire poison brought him were immense; he believed, if possible, he would achieve Nascent Soul Stage tonight.

But just as he was about to break through to the Golden Core Stage, he suddenly felt light-headed and found himself in the pavilion within the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm.

The nine heads of the Goose Deer were all above the water surface, and before Tang Ming could speak, he was quickly cooled down by the water sprayed from the goose heads.

The rampaging fire poison within Tang Ming’s meridians seemed to encounter its nemesis and calmed down.

Tang Ming glared angrily at the nine-headed Goose Deer, "What are you doing? I was at the critical breakthrough moment."

"Fool."

"Stupid."

"Useless."

"Trash."

"Do you even know what you’re doing?"

"To make such a low-level mistake, do you have a pig’s brain?"

The nine-headed Goose Deer’s heads suddenly turned into an obnoxious accusing mob, berating Tang Ming harshly.

Tang Ming blinked his eyes, realizing something was amiss; usually, the goose heads offered mild sarcasm, but today they were as intense as the keyboard warriors and argumentative commentators in the mortal world.

"Alright, everyone shut up. What’s going on, pick a head to explain it to me clearly."

Tang Ming shouted at the nine-headed Goose Deer.

The Qiankun Nine Palace Realm suddenly quieted down, the central goose head slowly lifted.

"Tell me what happened just now. Your rapid power enhancement isn’t necessarily a good thing for you."

The voice of the nine-headed Goose Deer was gentle.

Tang Ming raised his eyebrows but upon reflection, acknowledged the truth in its words. Every realm required understanding for successful progression to the next.

Yet just now, he had indeed increased his strength excessively using fire poison. If the nine-headed Goose Deer hadn’t timely prevented him, breaking through to the Golden Core Stage could’ve left many unresolved issues in his cultivation, and remaining at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage wasn’t so bad.

Understanding the nine-headed Goose Deer’s rationale suddenly made Tang Ming break out in cold sweat. Looking at it, he sheepishly smiled and narrated the fire poison discovery to it.

The nine heads of the Goose Deer expressed astonishment, "Sky Melting Ointment, you managed to concoct such a thing, let us have a look."

"Is it that precious, the Sky Melting Ointment?"

Though initially suffering an explosion, the subsequent attempts went smoothly. Tang Ming thought the ointment should be easy to produce.

At least, using this method, Tang Ming felt confident in making two to three boxes of Sky Melting Ointment each day.

"Certainly precious, but upon re-examining your body, your Sky Melting Ointment appears to be a simplified version, quite far from the genuine article. However, the fire poison power is indeed formidable."

The nine-headed Goose Deer nodded in agreement before continuing.
