Chapter 1078: Two Methods

Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078: Two Methods

Han Jing’s expression was a bit solemn, and she suddenly regretted her impulsiveness. If that Xiaoqi really did it on purpose and brought them here, what was her goal?

"What do we do now?" Han Jing was a bit confused for a moment. The most urgent thing right now was how to cure the toxin from the Puppet Grass. But if this Xiaoqi had ulterior motives, what was she really trying to do?

"To cure the toxin from Puppet Grass, the first step is to find the person who poisoned it. Cultivating Puppet Grass requires the blood of the one who poisoned it, so find that person, kill them, drop their blood into the water, then drink the water, and the poison is cured. That’s the simplest method," Ning Shiqi said.

"Then... is there another method?" Han Jing asked.

After all, this person is skilled enough to administer such a deadly poison, and they might be difficult to deal with. They weren’t confident they could kill him. If they couldn’t kill him, they couldn’t dispel the poison and might even be led into more dangerous territory.

"There is, but it’s even harder." Ning Shiqi looked toward the distant lake surface. "Among the Divine Clans, the Xia Clan has the strongest talents; the Ning Clan is the wisest. Do you know what makes the Feng Clan special?"

Han Jing looked at Su Yu, and Su Yu shook his head. Han Jing tentatively asked, "Isn’t it said that the Feng Clan descends from Divine Beasts?"

Ning Shiqi nodded, "That’s right. Both the Feng and Long Clans descend from Divine Beasts. But the lineage of the Long Clan has weakened, and strictly speaking, beyond the first few generations, the bloodline power has gradually diminished. This is why the Long Clan eventually faded into obscurity. Even if any Long Clan members exist today, they are merely remnants closest to the descendants of Divine Beasts, not the true bloodline of the Long Clan."

Ning Shiqi paused and continued, "But the Feng Clan is different. They are true descendants of Divine Beasts, possessing the Phoenix’s bloodline. Once the Phoenix Soul within them is awakened, they possess the Divine Power of Nirvana Rebirth."

"When can the Phoenix Soul be awakened?" Han Jing suddenly thought that her father seemed to be a descendant of the Feng Clan. "So if my father’s Phoenix Soul is awakened, does it mean he wouldn’t need to wait for Lianwu to become a true Ghost King to be reborn?"

Upon hearing Han Jing’s question, Ning Shiqi nodded, "That’s right, but... the Phoenix Soul can only be awakened at the Cultivation Divine Level Third Rank, and having even one person among a thousand have their Phoenix Soul awakened is already a miracle. Once awakened, they possess Nirvana Power, naturally immune to all poisons, and their blood can cure all poisons. Hence, another method is using Phoenix Blood as a guide, as there is no poison in the world it cannot cure."

Han Jing... 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

So really, this second method seems even less reliable than the first. Asking for Phoenix Blood is akin to plucking hairs from a tiger’s head... Of course, the opponent is far more ferocious than a tiger.

"Then let’s go with the first method. Tomorrow we’ll split up: let Lianwu go with Brother Qiao, and I’ll go with Su Yu to their Island Master Mansion to see if we can find any clues." If these are the only two ways to cure the poison, then surely we have to find out who the one responsible for the poisoning is. Poisoning the water source undoubtedly ties back to this island master.
