Chapter 279 Counting the Harvest

"Senior Ha Gong, we have something to ask. When we were in the valley, three of our fellow disciples were poisoned by He Wendao. Our detoxification pills were ineffective. We thought we could get treatment after returning to the sect, but they have been delayed for so long and their lives are hanging by a thread. I wonder if you can help them?" Luo Shan hesitated, clasped his fists and bowed, begging.

"I am not good at detoxification, so I can only give it a try. Where are the people?" Yuan Ming asked.

The three unconscious disciples of Shengye Sect were carried over. There were several blue-black poison spots on their cheeks, necks and bodies. Like the Shengye Sect disciples who were poisoned, their breathing was weak and they obviously could not hold on for long.

Yuan Ming took a quick look and sighed in his heart. The detoxification pills he brought with him were quite ordinary and could not detoxify this strange poison at all.

He was about to refuse, but suddenly thought of Huazhi, and sent a voice message: "Huazhi, after you absorbed the black toad, do you still have the ability to absorb the poison?"

"Master, do you want me to save these Shengye Sect disciples? It's a piece of cake." Huazhi sent a voice message back.

"Okay, send them to the room inside." Yuan Ming heard this and stood up and said to Luo Shan.

Luo Shan was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately took action himself, and together with the other disciples, moved the three Shengye Sect disciples to a room.

Yuan Ming drove everyone out, closed the door, and opened a hidden barrier.

Then he slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist, and Huazhi grew three vines from the bag, which pierced into the bodies of the three poisoned people.

The three people just twitched slightly, and then the poison spots on their skin began to fade at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon most of them disappeared, and they looked almost the same as the surrounding skin.

But at this moment, something strange happened!

Those poison spots that had faded and almost disappeared suddenly became darker again for some reason, and returned to their original state after a moment.

"Eh! So strange, so strange."

Hua Zhi let out a sigh and emerged from the spirit beast bag. He released more than a dozen vines from his arms and pierced into the bodies of the three people. He chanted something and activated all his demonic power. A layer of faint green light appeared on the dozen vines.

This time, the poison spots dissipated very quickly, and there was no pause in the middle. Hua Zhi continued to cast spells for a quarter of an hour until the poison spots faded to the same color as the healthy skin.

At this time, the poison spots on the three Shengye Sect disciples had completely disappeared, their cheeks were rosy again, and their breathing stabilized.

"The poison in these three people is very strange? Tell me about it." Yuan Ming asked when he saw Hua Zhi finished.

"The poison in the three people is not too strong, but this poison is like a living thing, rooted in their flesh and blood, feeding on their blood and qi. If the poison cannot be removed in one go, it can regenerate continuously and greatly deplete the already weak vitality of the poisoned." Hua Zhi transmitted the message.

"Living-like poison?" Yuan Ming touched his chin and murmured in surprise.

He had studied poisons for many years because of refining poison incense, but he had never seen such a strange poison that could devour blood and strengthen itself.

"If the master is interested, you can take a look at He Wendao's storage magic tool, maybe you can find a clue." Huazhi sent a telepathic voice.

Yuan Ming had this idea, and immediately ordered Luo Shan and others who were waiting at the door to come in and carry out the three disciples who were out of danger.

When Yuan Ming sat cross-legged in the room again, he used the silver token to open a silver light curtain, and then took out the storage magic tools of Bai Ye, Lu Shen, He Wendao, and Shi Dian.

He took out all the things inside and counted them carefully.

This time, he responded to the request of his grandmother. He thought it was a small task to relax his body and mind after hard training, but he almost lost his life. Fortunately, the ending was safe and sound. Not only did he save his cousin, but the harvest was also quite exciting.

These four people are all foundation-building cultivators, and they are wealthy. The total amount of spiritual stones alone is more than 4,000, and there are also many other spiritual materials, magic tools, elixirs, etc.

Yuan Ming picked out the things that are useful to him first, which are five bottles of Heye Dan for improving the foundation-building stage, a large spiritual material, three top-grade magic tools, and a set of magic arrays.

Needless to say, if he wants to continue to practice, he will continue to buy Heye Dan. Now that he has obtained it unexpectedly, it has saved him a lot of expenses.

The spiritual material is a golden scale, as big as a millstone, with wavy golden spiritual patterns on it. It looks like a scale from a giant beast. When the divine sense explores it, it can clearly feel the powerful spiritual power fluctuations it emits, which far exceeds the scope of a second-level monster.

"Is it the scale of a third-level monster? It is so huge, what kind of monster is it?" Yuan Ming took it and looked at it carefully.

This golden scale is quite heavy, weighing forty or fifty kilograms.

Yuan Ming was quite familiar with all kinds of monsters. Judging from the patterns on the golden scales, this thing seemed to be the legendary dragon scales. The dragons were naturally powerful, and generally at least level three monsters after adulthood.

Yuan Ming pondered for a moment, and sacrificed the black needle magic weapon, activated 30% of his magic power, and pierced the edge of the golden scales.

With a slight sound, the golden scales trembled, and there was not even a mark left on the surface.

Yuan Ming nodded slightly, and immediately increased his magic power to 50%, or even 70%. The golden scales were still safe and sound under the attack of the black needles.

Yuan Ming made up his mind and activated his magic power to 100%. The black needle turned into a slender afterimage and pierced the golden scales fiercely.

With a loud "clang", the golden scales were knocked away, and only a shallow white spot appeared where they were pierced, and they were far from penetrating.

"Good stuff!"

Yuan Ming was secretly delighted. This golden scale was very hard. It was probably the hardest and most wear-resistant spiritual material he had seen since he set foot in the world of immortal cultivation. It could be used to refine a good defensive magic weapon.

He put away the scale and looked at the three top-grade magic weapons, which were Lu Shen's earth-fighting pestle, a blue ring, and a green flying sword.

He took the earth-fighting pestle to check. This thing was a top-grade magic weapon with earth attribute, but it was very heavy, weighing four or five hundred kilograms, and its attack power was extremely strong.

Yuan Ming took the earth-fighting pestle, but with his strength, he could only barely swing it a few times. It was not handy, and the attributes of this thing did not match him.

Yuan Ming considered whether to sell it, and suddenly thought of King Kong.

This mutated white ape had plenty of strength, and the earth-fighting pestle seemed to be just right for it. He immediately threw it into the spirit beast bag where the white ape was and gave an order.

Yuan Ming picked up the blue ring again, and his consciousness immersed in it and quickly explored it clearly.

This blue ring was obtained from the stone storage magic weapon. It was engraved with a name called "True Water Ring". It is an auxiliary magic weapon with water attributes and has no attack effect. When worn on the body, it has three functions: nourishing the body, warding off fire, and keeping out the cold. It is a very good top-grade magic weapon.

Yuan Ming originally planned to wear it himself, but when he thought of Huazhi who was seriously injured and had just given a magic weapon to King Kong, he didn't want to be partial to one over the other, so he immediately gave the ring to Huazhi.

Top-grade magic weapons are quite precious. Baiyuan and Huazhi each got one, and they were very happy after playing with it.

Yuan Ming finally carefully picked up the green flying sword. This sword was obtained from He Wendao, and it was a poisonous sword.

Previously, He Wendao used this sword to attack the disciples of Shengye Sect, killing several people in a row. The three disciples of Shengye Sect who were poisoned and unconscious were also injured by this sword.

Yuan Ming carefully explored the green flying sword. The sword was emerald green all over, and seemed to be made of some kind of green jade. The three runes engraved on the sword body were all poisonous runes.

Yuan Ming's eyes lit up. There was an annotation about the poisonous rune in Master Heimu's weapon refining notes. The effect of this rune was just as the word meant. It could preserve and warm the poison in the material to prevent it from escaping.

For ordinary poisonous magic tools, it was enough to engrave one poisonous rune. This flying sword actually engraved three poisonous runes, which meant that the material used to refine this flying sword was extremely toxic, and one poisonous rune could not control it at all.

Yuan Ming carefully examined the flying sword. The whole body contained strong poisons and was extremely active, as if countless tiny insects were scrambling to break free from the constraints of the flying sword and poison people.

"The material of this flying sword is hard to see through. What kind of poison is in it?"

He couldn't figure it out either. He carefully put it away and looked at the last set of magic arrays, which was the bronze thunder pattern array.

This set of magic arrays was different from ordinary array tools, such as Yuan Ming's Thousand Knot Water Rope Array. The array patterns were engraved on seven copper pillars, making it easier to arrange and less likely to be damaged.

However, the requirements for the formation master to refine such a special formation tool are very high. It seems that the formation master who refined this set of bronze thunder pattern formation is quite powerful.

Yuan Ming carefully examined the seven copper pillars and found the signature of the formation master at the bottom of one of the copper pillars: Xiao Jiu.

"Xiao Jiu? It seems that this set of bronze thunder pattern formation comes from the Xiao family of Honglian Island." Yuan Ming said secretly.

The power of the bronze thunder pattern formation is amazing. Even if he was trapped, he almost died in it. The biggest gain of this adventure may be this set of formation.

However, to exert the power of this formation, thunder attribute spirit stones are needed. It just so happens that he has three top-grade thunder attribute spirit stones, which may be of great use in the future.

He secretly calculated and put away this set of formation.

Yuan Ming also sorted out the other things and put them away. The ground soon returned to cleanliness. Only a giant sword broken into two pieces remained, which was Shi Dian's bronze giant sword.

This sword was made of thunder attribute spiritual materials. Although it was broken into two pieces, the lightning power inside was not completely dissipated, and a lot of it remained.

Yuan Ming was a little troubled about how to deal with this sword. This bronze giant sword was already damaged. In addition to extremely high refining methods, it was also necessary to find the same type of spiritual materials to repair it.

Thunder attribute spiritual materials are extremely rare, and it is difficult to find them in the market of Xiaohu City. It is basically impossible.

But it would be a pity to throw it away or sell it.

"As a thunder attribute spiritual beast, Lei Yu might be able to absorb the lightning power in this giant sword?" Yuan Ming suddenly thought of something.

So he threw the two broken swords into Lei Yu's spiritual beast bag. Lei Yu sensed the lightning power contained in the two giant swords, and immediately pounced on it and absorbed the green lightning in the giant sword.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Ming nodded, closed his eyes and immersed himself in cultivation.

As he expected, the return journey was smooth. A few days later, the group arrived at the mountain gate of Shengye Sect.
