Chapter 83: Master Lin, Impervious to All Poisons, Mysterious Female Cultivator, and Ghost Frog Demon Pearl
The four people who followed Han Feiyan also wore peculiar expressions.
However, when Lin Xuankong turned around, the five of them looked even more astonished.
At this moment, Lin Xuankong showed no signs of pain from any poison.
"You... why are you still smiling? This arm..." Zhao Yufei's words were cut off midway, her cold, elegant eyes filled with astonishment.
Lin Xuankong looked down at his unharmed arm, his heart filled with joy. Yesterday, just a little poison on my palm corroded my entire arm within a few breaths due to the Ghost Frog King's venom. Now, my entire arm is covered in it, and after withdrawing the Qi Blood from the area, there's no corrosion at all. Not even a single hair has fallen off!
"The Ghost Frog King's venom has indeed lost its toxicity after a night! Hmm, it's cool and refreshing, but unfortunately, it stinks a bit!" Lin Xuankong announced.
Zhao Yufei was speechless.
Han Feiyan was dumbfounded. If I hadn't read so many of my family's ancient texts, I might have been deceived by him! Who would believe that the Ghost Frog King's venom would lose its toxicity? Even after years, an armful of that creature's venom could easily kill dozens of powerful Martial Cultivators!
The short Han Xiu looked at Lin Xuankong's arm, then at the venom on it, his expression full of disbelief...
"Has it really lost its toxicity?" another Martial Cultivator asked, reaching out a finger to touch some of the remaining venom on the Ghost Frog King's corpse.
"AH~~~~~! My middle finger!"
"Quick, cut off the middle finger! No, the corrosion is spreading—cut off the arm!"
...
Everyone was now absolutely certain that the Ghost Frog King's venom had definitely not lost its toxicity. In fact, because it had become more viscous, its toxicity was even fiercer. The rapidly decaying arm of the Han Family Martial Cultivator, which had fallen to the ground and dissolved into a pool of blood, was the best evidence!
This Master, who was susceptible to the venom's corrosion only yesterday, is already immune to Demon Poison today? Were the Ghost Frog Eggs and flesh that potent, or is this Master's talent truly exceptional?
Watching Lin Xuankong collect the Ghost Frog King's venom without any intention of explaining, Han Feiyan and the others dared not ask recklessly.
Thus, the image of this silver-haired old man became even more mysterious in the eyes of Han Feiyan and the others. Even Zhao Yufei, who walked with a somewhat peculiar posture, kept glancing at Lin Xuankong with astonishment.
Is my husband now immune to all poisons because he consumed those Ghost Frog Eggs? But aren't these eggs, which increase resistance to Demon Poison, supposed to be taken in large amounts over a long period to be effective? Could one hundred of them really make someone immune to all poisons?
When she recalled how her Cultivation Speed had greatly increased after spending the previous night with him, the astonishment on her face deepened.
Just how many powerful bloodlines and talents does my husband possess! A Nine-Seal Talent, becoming immune to Demon Poison after consuming a hundred Ghost Frog Eggs, and my Cultivation Speed significantly increased after spending just one night with him...
As these thoughts churned in her mind, Zhao Yufei felt a warmth, even more pronounced than yesterday, rise in her heart. She gently leaned closer to Lin Xuankong.
After resuming their journey, while the humans were puzzled, the two Dragon Blood Fierce Dogs were quite happy. This was because Lin Xuankong had stored all tens of thousands of jin of Marsh Python Flesh into the newly acquired Ghost Frog Pouch. Although there were now four more people on the sled, it was much lighter compared to the tens of thousands of jin it had carried yesterday!
On the sled, Lin Xuankong looked ahead with anticipation. The Ghost Frog Flesh hidden by Han Feiyan, plus my own few hundred jin, will be enough for me to make another attempt at boosting my Qi and Blood Reserves and Poison Resistance. I just don't know what grade my Poison Resistance will reach after surpassing Ninth Grade.
Furthermore, the cave where the Ghost Frog Flesh is hidden is only over twenty miles away from the Zhen Character Gathering Place! Once I get to the gathering place, regardless of whether those two Ancient Yue Race Martial Cultivators have any Marsh Python Demon Pearls... I am determined to obtain Liy Ruofeng's Nourishing Heart Method, the Black Soul Wondrous Jade, and other things from the Black Tiger Gang. My strength will surely increase by a significant margin then!

"The Kun Character Gathering Place has a mysterious Female Martial Cultivator, accompanied by Celestial Sect disciple Ding Rui? She has already slaughtered the Tier Two and Tier Three Demons near five other gathering places and is now summoning Martial Cultivators from various gathering places to head to the Kun Character Gathering Place?"
In the wooden building of the Zhen Character Gathering Place, Guo Chui looked at a Steward from the Spirit Snake Gang who had arrived from the Kun Character Gathering Place.
The Spirit Snake Gang Steward, with a long red snake coiled around his waist, cupped his hands and said, "Indeed. It was an order from Celestial Sect disciple Ding Rui. It's said that any Martial Cultivators who gather and can withstand three moves from that mysterious Female Martial Cultivator will receive ten thousand jin of Tier Three Demon Beast Flesh. Those who can withstand her attacks for ten breaths will receive fifty thousand jin of Tier Three Demon Beast Flesh!"
"If anyone can injure her, not only will they not be punished, but they will also become a disciple of the Holy Dragon Sect, which is under the Celestial Sect. Furthermore, they can receive either an Evil Sheep Demon Pearl or a Marsh Python Demon Pearl that she obtained in the Demon-Suppressing Valley. The Evil Sheep Demon Pearl was acquired from killing countless Evil Sheep, and the Marsh Python Demon Pearl was presented by San Gu of the Gu Yue Sect!"
Hearing this, Guo Chui's eyes instantly flashed with a hint of greed.
The Evil Sheep Demon Pearl was extremely powerful, but the Marsh Python Demon Pearl was even more valuable. The two Demon Pearls owned by his Guo Family were worth thirty to forty percent less than the Marsh Python Demon Pearl. If he could obtain this Marsh Python Demon Pearl, the Guo Family's heritage would increase significantly. This would allow them to secure their position as the foremost family in the Great Marsh Prefecture, and perhaps even give them an opportunity to expand their influence to Kyoto!
Enduring ten breaths under that Female Martial Cultivator's attacks... would it be so difficult?
Thinking of this, he smiled as he looked at Feng Zhulong and Liy Ruofeng.
