Chapter 1489: Fighting Poison With Poison Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Don’t spread this news. Otherwise, the experts of the sects and families who died at the hands of Divine Deity Thousand Poison might think that Ji Lin is his heir and attack you and Ji Lin!”

Ye Chen frowned slightly.

Right now, the inheritance left behind by Divine Deity Thousand Poison was undoubtedly the most suitable for Ji Lin, so when he had the opportunity, he had to bring her to that place.

If Ji Lin were to obtain his inheritance, it was likely that the Hall of Souls would not dare to have any designs on Ji Lin.

Ji Lin could even take revenge herself!

Suddenly, Ye Chen thought of something and turned to look at Lan Xueyue with a burning gaze. “Oh right, Master, you said that there was something wrong with Ji Lin’s body, right? What is it?”

“I’m afraid he knows more about Ji Lin’s body than I do, so I’ll let him explain.” Lan Xueyue shook his head and looked at Zhu Mie.

Zhu Mie nodded and placed his left hand on Ji Lin’s forehead. After a long time, he said, “The Innate Poison Body is not complete, which caused some blockages in her meridians. Most importantly, her bloodline and physique are first-generation, which means hers is a natural physique, as opposed to Divine Deity Thousand Poison, who inherited his acquired poison. Therefore, we need to find some highly-toxic herbs or materials to fight poison with poison!”

“Fight poison with poison? Is that how we can unblock Ji Lin’s meridians and dantian?” Ye Chen asked. He used his spiritual sense to scan her body. He could clearly sense that Ji Lin’s meridians were blocked and filled with poison. If it were any other cultivator, they would have died by now.

On the other hand, Ji Lin’s body was getting stronger and stronger, aside from the fact that she was unable to regain consciousness.

His cultivation level was also getting higher and higher!

Originally, Ji Lin was only an early-stage Supreme Emperor realm cultivator, but nourished by her bloodline and poison, she had reached the third level of the Semi Divine realm. Her speed of advancement was much faster than Ye Chen’s!

Furthermore, once she completed the Innate Poison Body, her cultivation level would advance even further.

“Yes, because Ji Lin has an Innate Poison Body, she’s immune to every poison in the world.”

“However, the poison in her body… Let’s put it this way. It’s a little too much. It seems that she can’t digest it completely, so it has blocked her meridians and dantian!”

“That’s why we need something poisonous to fix that,” Zhu Mie said after a closer look.

“Then, the two streams of poison will merge together to perfect Ji Lin’s Innate Poison Body!”

“If we don’t do this, and if this continues for a long time, she might never wake up!”

Ye Chen’s expression changed slightly.

He had promised Ji Siqing that he would protect Ji Lin, so he naturally would not let anything happen to Ji Lin.

However, how could he fight poison with poison?

All kinds of poisons began to appear in his mind. Some were naturally-occuring poisons, while some had to be concocted.

The poison from poisonous demonic beasts might also be useful. Should he synthesize some of them and increase their purity for Ji Lin to consume?

Ye Chen nervously flipped through all kinds of books that recorded poisons, which he had obtained from the treasury of the seventh branch of the Hall of Souls.

He thought that Ji Lin would recover after he had obtained the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Dragon Herb, but the awakening of her Innate Poison Body had thrown a spanner into the works.

“Wait! Disciple!”

Lan Xueyue suddenly thought of something and frowned slightly, “Her Innate Poison Body is not perfect, but it cannot be fixed with ordinary poison!”

“I’m afraid we need Divine Deity Thousand Poison’s poison!”

Upon hearing this, the book in Ye Chen’s hand fell to the ground. He frowned. “Does that mean I have to go to that place now? Given my current strength, I’ll definitely die if I go there.”

“Is there really no other way?”

“However, if this is the only way to save Ji Lin, I’m willing to give it a try no matter how difficult it is!”

“I just had a conversation with Zhu Mie,” Lan Xueyue said as he walked over slowly.

“Divine Deity Thousand Poison self-destructed, and his poison technique and the poison he carried were lost over there. However, you don’t have to go there now. As far as I know, the Dugu family, the Sacred Flame Sect, and others also participated in that battle. They should have brought back a lot of bodies and treasures tainted by the poison.”

“Find those and obtain them.”

“It’s best to use poisons that are especially toxic, or even contaminated with acquired poison.”

There was a huge difference between innate and acquired poisons. The power of the two could not be compared, but acquired poison was at least much stronger than other poisons. If Ji Lin wanted to perfect her Innate Poison Body, it would be best to use acquired poison.

“Wait! I’ve remembered something!”

“We know about that battle five thousand years ago as well.” Moonlight Buddha slowly walked over with his palms pressed together.

“It was just that our Golden Buddha Sect was not qualified to participate at that time. However, the Beigong family, the Dugu family, and the other ten middle-tier forces in the western region each sent two Creation realm experts. Two thousand years ago, the Dugu family brought back a Thousand Demon Ginseng from that place. It’s rumored that the Divine Deity Thousand Poison used it to concoct his half-innate poison!”

“It’s just that…”

“Over the past thousands of years, not to mention innate poison…”

“Even acquired poison and half-innate poison could only be utilized by Divine Deity Thousand Poison. The Thousand Demon Ginseng brought back is extremely poisonous, so no warrior in the Dugu family can use it. Two thousand years ago, the Dugu family, the Beigong family, and the Flying Feather Pavilion jointly held an auction to auction off the Thousand Demon Ginseng, but…”

Moonlight Buddha revealed a helpless smile and said, “The western region is barren. It’s not a prosperous place for demonic cultivators. Most of the poison refining sects are located in the territories of the Sacred Flame Sect, the Baili family, and the Duanmu family. Moreover, those poison refining sects didn’t come to the auction!”

“There wasn;t even a single bid for the Thousand Demon Ginseng, which is likely because the Thousand Demon Ginseng’s toxicity is so strong that no one believes that they can use it.”

“Therefore, this Thousand Demon Ginseng should still be in the Dugu family’s possession. Tomb Master, if you can obtain it, we can help Miss Ji Lin perfect her Innate Poison Body!”

The Dugu family was one of the ten major middle-tier families and sects, and was slightly inferior to the Beigong family in terms of strength. Still, they were not to be trifled with.

Moreover, the western region was different from the other four regions. It did not have a high-tier or top-tier force overseeing it, and was instead jointly governed by ten middle-tier families and sects. The ten forces had maintained this state of equilibrium for a hundred thousand years, and kept each other in check. In that sense, it could be said that the difference in strength between these forces was not great.
