Chapter 2301 Picking Out Poisons

Chapter 2301 Picking Out Poisons

The group soon oriented themselves and moved towards the Offering Hall.

"Looks like this place didn't really change." Crown Prince Feng Shun was the first to speak.

"Yeah, with the Death Qi covering this area too, I had thought there would be at least some effects." Daoist Chu spoke. "Though perhaps the arrays here protected it from it."

"That was expected, after all this is an important place. I doubt the celestial would have made a mistake like that." Elder Hu stated.

"That's right." Lady Kang replied. "If anything happened to this place, it would probably break the trial too." She added.

"We likely would have found out since the Green Bands are technically connected to this place." Lin Mu said as he stepped in through the door.

He glanced at the murals for a moment, the scenes of the Chimeric Beasts raging across a battlefield against an army of cultivators reappearing in his mind. He could almost feel the fear and despair that the Sacred Tear Demonic Tribe might have felt back then.

~huu~

Taking a deep breath, he shook it off and finally arrived at the final room with all the reward lists.

"Hmm... what should we start with?" Crown Princess Shang asked.

"Since you're versed in herbs, can you pick out the herbs that can be used as poison or corrosives?" Lin Mu asked.

"Sure." Crown Princess Shang replied, getting to work.

It wasn't until six hours later, that Lin Mu finally reached an item that showed some potential.

"Wait," Xukong spoke up.

"Is it something good?" Lin Mu asked looking at the name that they were at. "Black Hex Raven Tear." But when he did, he found it to be rather strange. "This is supposed to be a poison?

"No, it isn't a poison." Xukong replied. "But it can have an even better effect." He added.

"What is it?" Lin Mu was curious. "It looks to be the tears of a beast."

"It's the Tears of the Black Hex Raven. It is a Bird beast that is considered as highly ominous. The areas it passes by become tainted with misfortune and people who sight it become unlucky." Xukong explained.

"That's a rather peculiar effect. It can change people's luck?" Lin Mu was surprised.

He had known of auspicious beasts which were real beings who had the ability to affect fortune and improve it. But this was the first time he was coming across ominous beasts.

"The Black Hex Raven by itself is quite weak, and can be killed by even a mortal. But killing it is the worst thing one can do, as the beast's death will curse whoever killed it along with their surroundings, making the area basically unlivable.

The person who killed it would get incredibly sick and so would be their family members. The livestock in that area would go mad, and the crops would all wither from blight." Xukong explained.

"How does it do that?" Lin Mu asked. "If it is that weak?" "That's because the Black Hex Raven is a beast that naturally contains the Dao of Misfortune." Xukong revealed.

Hearing that Lin Mu was surprised, as he hadn't expected Misfortune to have a Dao too. And a beast that embodied it on top of it.

"Do its tears carry the same power?" Lin Mu guessed now.

"They do." Xukong nodded his head. "The tears curse whatever thing they touch." He stated.
