Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1049: Collecting Snake Venom

Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Collecting Snake Venom

For safety reasons, Qin Sisi went to an elixir dicine store outside and bought so Level four Jade lting Pills. She is now a Third Level Forgemaster, and the weapons she forged are sold at much higher prices than before, so she could afford to buy so higher-level elixir dicine.

However, she still couldn’t afford Level Five elixir dicine. Even if she gritted her teeth to buy them, she might not be able to get any.

Level Five elixir dicines were not available in ordinary stores; they could only be found at the Alchemist Guild’s monthly auction. The elixir dicines crafted by Teacher Mo Liu, unless reserved in advance by soone, were all directly sent to the Alchemist Guild.

With dozens of Jade lting Pills in her storage ring, Qin Sisi finally arrived at the cave where the poisonous snakes lived, her heart pounding with apprehension.

The i Lan Family uses snakes as their totem, and Teacher Yirou’s Tianyin Mountain is dotted with many caves of various sizes, ho to all kinds of snakes.

Managing common snakes was easy, but poisonous snakes were a bit more troubleso. To prevent them from fighting each other or accidentally hurting passersby, Yirou had isolated these reptilian classmates.

Qin Sisi went from one poisonous snake cave to another, employing the thod taught by Teacher Yirou; she first used her magic to provoke the snakes, inducing them to spray venom, then took the opportunity to collect it.

The initial process was miserable; she often got sprayed with venom because she wasn’t quick enough to react. Thankfully, she had wrapped her entire body with magic force in advance, preventing the snakes from biting her. Otherwise, once the venom entered her bloodstream, a single Jade lting Pill would not be sufficient to resolve the situation.

After wastefully consuming over a dozen Jade lting Pills, Qin Sisi finally managed to collect a sample of snake venom. Looking at the hard-won result in the glass container, she felt like laughing and crying at the sa ti.

Teacher Yirou had raised exactly one hundred poisonous snakes on Tianyin Mountain, one of each species.

When Qin Sisi placed nine glass containers in front of Yirou, Yirou’s beautiful eyes widened in astonishnt, and with a pained expression on her face, she said, "Don’t tell

that the venom from the other ninety-one snakes was all wasted?"

Qin Sisi nodded awkwardly.

Yirou sighed helplessly and reluctantly collected the glass containers. She was about to complain so more when she looked up and, to her shock, saw Qin Sisi’s black lips. "You’re poisoned? Didn’t you take a Jade lting Pill?"

"I did!" Qin Sisi quickly replied, not feeling any particular effects at the mont.

Yirou frowned and asked, "What level?"

Qin Sisi: "Level four."

Yirou smacked her on the head, both angry and anxious, "You are now a Level Five Magic Spirit; how could a Level Four Jade lting Pill be enough?"

Qin Sisi replied in a low voice, "But I can’t afford nor find Level Five elixir dicine!"

Yirou tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, "Alright, alright, I see the poisoning isn’t too severe, go to Tianshui Mountain and look for Teacher Yinxi to detoxify you."

"Teacher Yinxi can detoxify?" Qin Sisi was a bit curious; she had never heard before of Teacher Yinxi possessing such a magical skill.

"Water is naturally the bane of poison. Don’t ask any more questions, just go quickly, or you won’t be able to get up for the next few days," Yirou urged her.

"Oh," Qin Sisi responded, about to leave but then turned back to ask, "Teacher Yirou, do I still need to collect snake venom every day?"

She had almost run out of Jade lting Pills she had bought; if she had to continue tomorrow, she would need to go out and buy so more first.

Yirou sighed and said, "Wishful thinking. The venom won’t recover imdiately after being sprayed; you’ll need to wait a few days."

Qin Sisi silently heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. At that mont, she started to feel dizzy and realized the seriousness of her condition, quickly struggling to leave Tianyin Mountain and headed to Tianshui Mountain.

Summoning the Wings of Rainbow, she flew over the lakes surrounding Tianshui Mountain. The servants of Tianshui Mountain saw her coming and hurriedly went to inform Teacher Yinxi.

Yinxi was initially puzzled. Qin Sisi had only studied Water Magic for one year during her first year, and when she chose to specialize later, she did not choose the Water Attribute, hence she never ca back to Tianshui Mountain. Why had she suddenly co after graduation?

As soon as she saw Qin Sisi, she understood imdiately. With a bluish complexion, blackened lips, and a vacant and dull gaze, it was clear that these were symptoms of poisoning.

Yinxi quickly had soone bring several cups of Jade Water from Tranquil Pond for Qin Sisi. This water not only rapidly restores physical strength but also has an excellent detoxifying effect.

Then, Yinxi had Qin Sisi soak overnight in the Floating Dream Hot Spring, and only then was the poison in her body completely removed.

The next morning, Qin Sisi erged from the Floating Dream Hot Spring, got herself tidy, and went to Teacher Yinxi’s room to express her gratitude.

Yinxi spoke indifferently, "There’s no need for courtesy. Since you haven’t left the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, you are still a student here. Helping you is what I should do."

Qin Sisi thanked her again, then shalessly added, "Teacher Yinxi, in a few days, I may need to help Teacher Yirou collect snake venom..."

Yinxi paused, then said, "After you’re done, just co over, but I have one condition."

"Please tell , Teacher." Qin Sisi looked at Yinxi earnestly. The teacher had helped her with an urgent matter, so it was normal to have so small requests.

Yinxi said, "When Yirou gives you the item, just share a bit with ."

"What item?" Qin Sisi was a bit bewildered, as Teacher Yirou hadn’t ntioned giving her anything.

Yinxi glanced at her and said, "She didn’t tell you?"

Qin Sisi shook her head: "No."

Yinxi continued calmly, "Then I won’t spoil it by telling you in advance. You’ll naturally find out when the ti cos."

Qin Sisi left Tianshui Mountain filled with curiosity. Teacher Yinxi had always been indifferent and seed to live without worldly entanglents. Qin Sisi wondered what she could possibly want.

In the following days, Qin Sisi devoted herself to physical training on Tianyin Mountain. At first, she would finish each session with aching muscles and gasping for breath.

Gradually, she got used to the training. Her posture standing beca straighter and firr, her running speed increased, she could climb to higher places on trees, the duration she could rotate breathlessly extended considerably, and though her splits and bending still weren’t perfect, they were much improved from the beginning.

Every few days, she would collect snake venom for Teacher Yirou. From an initial success rate of less than ten percent, after a month, she managed to reach fifty percent.

She still needed to continue purchasing and consuming Jade lting Pills, as deep poisoning could affect subsequent collections, but the quantity required had significantly decreased.

After each venom collection, Qin Sisi would go to Tianshui Mountain to find Teacher Yinxi for detoxification. The thod was simple: drink a few cups of Jade Water from Tranquil Pond and soak in the Floating Dream Hot Spring, and the toxins in the body would gradually be eliminated.

Qin Sisi felt that Water Magic was quite magical. It was a pity her talent for Water Magic was not great, which led to her initial decision to give it up.
