Chapter 71: Ten Thousand Poison Body

Chapter 71: Ten Thousand Poison Body Translator: Cinder Translations

---

There were quite a few pills, a total of twelve bottles. Perhaps because the Yan Family cultivators lived in the poisonous marshes for a long time, where there were many poisonous insects and beasts, half of these pills were various detoxifying and healing pills.

Among them, there were two bottles of Qi Gathering Pills, totaling twenty pills. There was also one bottle of Spirit Nourishing Pills, ten pills.

From one of the storage bags, Song Wen found a bottle of a special pill called Poison Forging Pill, a type of pill Song Wen had never heard of before, and he didn't know its purpose.

Song Wen also acquired two sets of cultivation techniques. One was called "Profound Poison Scripture," the main poison cultivation technique of the Yan Family, a Qi refining technique, but it only contained content up to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Song Wen had no intention of cultivating the "Profound Poison Scripture." Although the "Corpse King Blood Refining Technique" given by Shi Shou might have certain hidden dangers, Song Wen had no plans to switch to other techniques.

His physical body could devour essence and blood; body refining techniques were the most suitable for him.

As for the hidden dangers left by Shi Shou, Song Wen still couldn't guess what they were, but some things couldn't be avoided.

Whether he cultivated the "Corpse King Blood Refining Technique" or not, Shi Shou would definitely come for him. It was better to seize all the time to cultivate. Only with strong strength could he face unknown dangers.

This "Profound Poison Scripture" contained complete Qi refining techniques. Song Wen looked down on it, but if he put it on the market, it would attract the attention of wandering cultivators. Song Wen planned to sell it in the market for some spirit stones.

The other technique was called "Ten Thousand Poison Body," not a Qi refining technique but a secret technique for body forging. It was a method that utilized various deadly toxins to refine the body.

The "Ten Thousand Poison Body" intrigued Song Wen somewhat. According to the outline of the technique, not only could it greatly enhance the cultivator's physical body, but it could also make the cultivator immune to most toxins. When cultivated to a high realm, it could even achieve the legendary state of being impervious to ten thousand poisons.

However, Song Wen felt that the technique might be exaggerating. There were countless toxins in the cultivation world, and claiming to be impervious to ten thousand poisons seemed overly exaggerated.

What truly attracted Song Wen to the technique was its ability to immunize against toxins. Once cultivated to a certain realm, it could immunize against most toxins, which already made Song Wen intrigued.

The Poison Forging Pill he found was a unique poison pill refined by the Yan Family, used for cultivating the "Ten Thousand Poison Body." However, cultivating the "Ten Thousand Poison Body" did not necessarily require consuming the Poison Forging Pill; other toxic substances could also be used as substitutes.

The "Ten Thousand Poison Body" and the Poison Forging Pill were discovered together from the same storage bag, which also contained a jade slip recording cultivation insights of the "Ten Thousand Poison Body."

At this moment, Song Wen finally understood why Yan Feng's speed was significantly faster than ordinary cultivators and how he could withstand a direct hit from a Heavenly Thunder Talisman without dying.

Yan Feng's cultivation talent was average, but his cultivation of the "Ten Thousand Poison Body" was unusually smooth, which greatly strengthened his physical body beyond that of ordinary cultivators. Because of this, his speed and defense were much stronger than ordinary cultivators.

In addition, nine magic tools were found in the six storage bags. However, these magic tools needed to be used in conjunction with poison techniques to exert their maximum effect.

Among them, Song Wen picked out a set of medium-grade magic tools, a pair of Mother and Child Poison Needles. There were six Mother Needles in total, each about half a foot long.

Each Mother Needle concealed ten fine Child Needles as thin as hair strands. When facing enemies, Song Wen could control the Mother Needle with his spiritual power to erupt the Child Needles at any time. When the distance was close enough, suddenly launching the Child Needles made it nearly impossible to defend against—a highly sinister weapon.

Since Song Wen did not cultivate poison techniques, to maximize the lethal potential of the Mother and Child Poison Needles, he needed to apply highly toxic substances to them.

The Yan Family colluded with the Nine Palaces Sect, betraying the Corpse Demon Sect. The entire clan of 83,272 people, from wailing infants to elderly, was annihilated by the Corpse Demon Sect. This included not only ordinary people without spiritual roots unable to cultivate, but also the Yan Family's Foundation Establishment ancestors and Yan Zheng, who had achieved Qi Refinement perfection.

The news of the Yan Family's annihilation shocked all major powers and countless cultivators throughout the Tuocang Mountain Range.

What was truly shocking wasn't the destruction of a small Foundation Establishment family, but rather that the Nine Palaces Sect dared to intervene in the Corpse Demon Sect's territory.

The Nine Palaces Sect is a righteous sect whose influence extends beyond the Tuocang Mountain Range.

The Tuocang Mountain Range is a gathering place for demonic forces and rogue cultivators. For the Nine Palaces Sect to intervene in the affairs of the Corpse Demon Sect, could this lead to a showdown between righteousness and evil?

The Corpse Demon Sect is located around Corpse Demon Peak on the outskirts of the Tuocang Mountain Range, closer to various righteous sects. During every clash between righteousness and evil, this area becomes the frontline battleground.

Rumors of the upcoming clash between righteousness and evil within the Corpse Demon Sect did not cause much commotion internally, but the fervor among wandering cultivators continued to intensify.

Most wandering cultivators are not very powerful and belong to the bottom layer of the cultivation world. They are lone wolves who prefer to fight on their own, making it difficult to form a strong force.

After news of the Yan Family's annihilation spread, Song Wen's house arrest was lifted. His first action was to seek an audience with Elder Shen in the pill room. seaʀᴄh thё ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

From Elder Shen, Song Wen learned that nearly the entire Yan Family had been massacred. After all, cutting off the root of the grass is a principle well understood by the demonic path.

However, there were some who escaped. Yan Yiwen, the most talented of the Yan Family's generation, managed to flee. By now, she had likely joined the Nine Palaces Sect and become an inner disciple.

Upon hearing this news, Song Wen felt terrible.

Yan Yiwen's survival meant she posed a significant threat to him. If she were to achieve cultivation success one day and seek revenge for her family, the Corpse Demon Sect would be her first target, and Song Wen would likely be her second.

However, these were all future concerns. For now, Yan Yiwen posed no immediate threat to Song Wen.

Not all the news from Elder Shen was bad, though.

A Golden Core elder of the Corpse Demon Sect used Yan Tiangong's essence and blood to perform a blood dao secret technique, identifying and eliminating all those within the sect who possessed Yan Family bloodline. This ensured there were no remnants of the Yan Family within the Corpse Demon Sect, which was undoubtedly good news for Song Wen. At least within the sect, he no longer had to worry about Yan Family remnants plotting against him.

From Elder Shen, Song Wen also learned why the Yan Family risked annihilation by colluding with the Nine Palaces Sect.

Yan Tiangong was aging, and the Yan Family had yet to produce a strong Foundation Establishment cultivator. This forced them to take risks, using the Rainbow Grass as leverage to exchange for cultivation resources and Foundation Establishment pills from the Nine Palaces Sect.

Once the Yan Family's patriarch passed away without a strong Foundation Establishment cultivator, they would inevitably lose control of the Poison Swamp's assets to other Foundation Establishment families under the Corpse Demon Sect's jurisdiction.

Furthermore, previous grudges and the resentment of cultivators who had been mistreated would come back to haunt them.

By then, the annihilation of the Yan Family would be a foregone conclusion.
