"Oh, it seems you are using my puppet. He has almost no chance of recovering; the poison has destroyed his mind, leaving him emotionless like a wooden figure."
The Black Death Blade King responded.
"What about the others?"
Shen Wang inquired.
"Dead. Not everyone can endure such inhuman torture; those collapsed midway, their souls scattered."
The Black Death Blade King said blandly.
"You are indeed ruthless." Shen Wang felt sowhat apprehensive.
"Kid, you haven’t lived long enough to see much; what I’ve done is relatively mild. You’ve never seen truly ruthless things like the Ten Thousand Souls Banner or ghost rearing."
The Black Death Blade King snorted coldly, a routine expression on his face.
Shen Wang knew this guy was speaking the truth and said, "Got it, you can continue staying here."
"Hey, are you really not going to let out?"
The Black Death Blade King was speechless.
"Stay put, letting you out to harm people?"
Shen Wang snorted, no longer paying attention to the Black Death Blade King, and reviewed another jade scroll.
This contained a cultivation technique called the Black Death Technique, which seed to be part of the Black Death Saber Technique. Shen Wang felt these two might have belonged to the sa sect once.
Was that sect called the Black Death Sect?
This cultivation technique recorded ways to enhance the saber technique’s power using evil qi and thods to temper the body with it. The improvents were significant but imdiate.
The downside was damage to the foundation, typical of demonic cultivation thods.
Shen Wang guessed that the Black Death Blade King initially took shortcuts, leading to an unstable foundation and ultimately failing to form a Nascent Soul.
Noting down parts of the jade scroll worth learning, Shen Wang started cultivating his own technique.
He stayed in the forest to cultivate, a night passed.
Rats were caught enough by midnight, and Chen Xian stayed honestly nearby.
As dawn broke, Shen Wang stopped cultivating, glanced at Chen Xian, knowing he was also at Foundation Establishnt stage, and tossed the jade scroll of the Black Death Technique to him.
"You will cultivate this technique next."
Shen Wang thought the jade scroll was of no use left here, so he might as well let him cultivate it.
"Yes, master."
Chen Xian said chanically, taking the jade scroll.
His mind was destroyed, yet he retained basic cultivator abilities, acting only on his master’s commands.
Seeing no normal human emotion in Chen Xian, Shen Wang shook his head and turned away.
It was still early morning when Shen Wang returned to the Jade Silkworm Valley, encountering no obstacles.
Now people under the Sixth Prince were considered guests. Since Shen Wang’s eting with Silver Moon was not concealed, the guards knew he wasn’t seeking dicine but was from the Sun and Moon Dynasty.
Successfully returning to the ship, Shen Wang t with his wife, then continued researching poisons.
He tossed the Beast Taming Bag to the people of the Demon Suppression Departnt, and after the Earth dicine arrived, the rats inside began to suffer.
This ti, Shen Wang started contemplating the concept of the survival of the fittest.
If his strength weren’t formidable enough, he would be no different from these rats, utterly unable to decide his fate.
He continued to downplay his skills, pretending to be ordinary in the Poison Dao, while in reality rapidly learning in secret.
Earth dicine, seeing him, was unsatisfied. After a few rats died, he was displeased at having to spend a long ti here with poison insects every day.
"Why are you standing here, being utterly useless? Get lost!"
Today, Silver Moon did not co, so he did not need to hold back.
"Alright, you carry on."
Shen Wang, not angry, instead smiled faintly, turned around, and left, a reaction that made Earth dicine’s face turn dark.
Shen Wang strode away, casually pointing at a spot as if nothing happened.
He returned to his courtyard, entered the cultivation room, and pointed in front of him.
A magical scene unfolded, with the light around changing, revealing the scene of Earth dicine testing poisons.
"There’s no point standing by; sitting is more comfortable."
Shen Wang chuckled lightly, not abandoning his understanding of the situation. Since Poison Dao couldn’t currently rely on the system, he used the Dragon Ship’s surveillance array to continue observing Earth dicine’s detoxification.
Besides this room, he also began using the array to explore other areas, further familiarizing himself with the Dragon Ship’s array.
Of course, he never touched the core array.
In this tranquility, several days passed, and Earth dicine tested over a hundred types of poison insects, finding a universal antidote.
Just when he thought the task would end, Silver Moon brought over another hundred types of poison insects, even fiercer than before, overwhelming Earth dicine.
Shen Wang only laughed in the dark, still not interfering much, just ensuring a regular supply of rats each day.
This made Chen Xian even busier, and the nearby rats more unfortunate.
As the poisons grew more intense, the rats Silver Moon required beca larger, no longer limited to rats but larger animals.
Ti passed, and Shen Wang thoroughly comprehended the outer circle of the array, ten days transpired.
On this day, a hundred miles from the Jade Silkworm Valley, a wild boar crashed to the ground. A burly figure shrouded in black qi picked it up, taking out a Beast Taming Bag to store it.
Swoosh.
A figure appeared beside him, mumbling, "The storage pouch isn’t enough anymore. Is this poison testing endless?"
The speaker was Shen Wang, while the one catching wild boars was Chen Xian. In these ten days, they caught over ten thousand rats, followed by various beasts, until now one person couldn’t handle it, and even Shen Wang had to lend a hand.
Fortunately, today’s task had been completed, and Shen Wang glanced at Chen Xian, "Just continue cultivating here."
Perhaps due to Chen Xian being affected by Black Poison or so other reason, he seed quite gifted in the Black Death Technique, having developed significant aptitude in just ten days of cultivation.
Returning with several storage pouches, Shen Wang casually checked the system panel en route.
Noting ten new Longevity Species, he smiled.
In these days, the pregnancies of eight new wives had succeeded.
Moreover, he was surprised by the occurrence of multiple births this ti, otherwise, there wouldn’t be ten new Longevity Species.
His opportunity for ridian nurturing rewards had resurfaced daily, as if he returned to his previous lifestyle.
Thinking about these, Shen Wang’s mood improved as he joyously returned to the Dragon Ship.
Aboard, several palace maids suddenly escorted a woman out.
Shen Wang’s gaze shifted, unexpectedly seeing Yun Lingshu, with her hair tied up and dressed in a luxurious purple gown. The woman’s face was pale, and spiritless.
The latter also saw Shen Wang, her eyes dull and lifeless, seemingly unreactive, passing by neither quickly nor slowly.
Shen Wang sensed Yun Lingshu’s aura, very weak, and pondered.
"Humph, what are you staring at!"
Silver Moon approached unhappily.
"Nothing, I was just wondering what she’s been through."
Shen Wang speculated, "Was her body and essence taken?"
Silver Moon’s face grew colder at those words, "If it’s not sothing you should know, don’t ask beyond your place."
"Then what is her current status?" Shen Wang inquired.
"Maid."
Silver Moon was unwilling to elaborate, directly switching to business, "Are your things ready?"
"They’re ready. Now that live requests are increasing, I’ve been busy for half the day. At this rate, the nearby creatures might be caught clean."
Shen Wang complained.
"It seems you don’t want to catch them anymore, then try the poison today."
Silver Moon stated.
"Earth dicine has been researching for over ten days. Is it appropriate for to step in?"
Shen Wang retorted.
"He’s been poisoned and can’t continue. Take over with the information."
Silver Moon ntioned a situation that surprised Shen Wang. He had been monitoring less due to nourishing his wives’ ridians and was unaware that Earth dicine had been poisoned.
"Let’s go, among the poison insects I previously caught, a Gu King was born. Earth dicine suffered a setback because of it."
Silver Moon said as she quickly headed towards a northeast corner.
Soon, Shen Wang saw the sealed Gu King, a spider, colorful and palm-sized, quite beautiful.
Seeing it, Shen Wang felt a sense of danger, as even the nearby poison insects kept their distance in instinctive fear.
He clicked his tongue, "The Five-Colored Poison Spider is indeed a Gu King. I didn’t expect you guys to be able to cultivate a Gu King, putting the Jade Silkworm Valley people to sha."
"So of the poisons I caught were inherently strong, advancing to a Gu King is no big deal."
Silver Moon was calm, "But for you to recognize it at a glance, you do have so skill. If you can solve its poison, it will count as a major achievent."
"Not to ntion finding an antidote, the poison from this guy could probably take down even Golden Core cultivators. How am I supposed to test it?"
Shen Wang shook his head, wanting to continue, but suddenly the poison insects in the room fell silent, then went into a frenzy.
