She touched the scar on her face, stared at the scene, and continued to watch...
After jumping into the ice cave, the young man and woman encountered a rare, century-old Snow Toad. Surprisingly, the voice they had heard emanated from this creature.
The young man exhausted his last bit of strength fighting the Snow Toad and eventually slew it.
The Snow Toad was a tonic rarely seen in a hundred years; consuming it could enhance one’s Inner Strength.
"Quick, quick... Miss, eat so of this Snow Toad’s flesh and blood..."
"It’s too disgusting! It’s raw, I can’t eat it..."
"At a ti like this, how can you be so picky?"
"No, I’d rather die..."
The young man, having no other choice, had to consu the Snow Toad’s blood first.
The blood transford into a torrential surge of energy within him. The young man felt a great increase in his Inner Strength, and his depleted body seed to regain so power.
He then circulated his Inner Strength, using his hand as a makeshift pot. His scorching palm lightly cooked the Snow Toad’s at. After barely managing to feed it to You Ruhua, they continued downward along the ice cave.
The depths of the ice cave teed with nurous ferocious creatures. Wang Mu carried You Ruhua on his back, slaying them all as they pressed on, eventually breaking free.
Afterward, the two traveled together until they reached Shu City, where they discovered an epidemic. Many citizens were afflicted with a strange poison. After so investigation, You Ruhua deduced that the source of the poison must be the porridge distributed by the Qi Prince Mansion.
Under the cover of night, You Ruhua devised an ingenious plan. She and Wang Mu disguised themselves and infiltrated the Qi Prince Mansion to uncover the truth.
Unexpectedly, a mysterious expert from the Qi Prince Mansion detected them. They were surrounded, captured, and locked in an underground Five Poisons Dungeon.
"Brother Mu, it’s all my fault..." You Ruhua looked guilty. "I didn’t expect the Qi Prince Mansion to have such a formidable top expert... And one who cultivates the pure Heavenly Mastery Child Skill..."
"It’s okay," Wang Mu said, shaking his head. "The Qi Prince Mansion is spreading an epidemic throughout the city; they must have a hidden agenda. They’ve only captured us for now. We’ll find a way to escape."
He vaguely suspected that at this mont...
"Escape? You think you can escape?"
From another cell ca an incredibly dark voice, like the wailing of ghosts.
Wang Mu focused his gaze and saw soone inside. Their limbs were pierced with iron chains, and they sat on the ground, their body crawling with countless venomous snakes, scorpions, and spiders...
The sight of the body shocked his Divine Sense.
"This is the Five Poisons Dungeon. Countless poisonous insects will suck your blood until the very last mont of your life..."
The disheveled, mysterious person spoke hoarsely, "Look at the skeletons in your cell. They were all Jianghu pugilists whose blood was drained completely. You two will be no exception..."
"Five Poisons Dungeon?" You Ruhua glanced around and suddenly laughed. "Heh, then they’ve really put us in the right place. So this is that kind of dungeon..."
The next second, countless poisonous creatures crawled out from all corners of the cell, swarming towards them.
Oddly, they stopped near You Ruhua, all surging toward Wang Mu instead.
"Miss You, you are..." Wang Mu exclaid in surprise.
The poisonous creatures seed to have t their bane, not daring to approach in the slightest.
"Hehe..." You Ruhua chuckled softly. "Brother Mu, co here. I’ll teach you a Divine Skill manual. This place is perfect for cultivating it..."
"Ah? Can we really cultivate now?"
"This place is perfect for it."
"Listen carefully..." You Ruhua leaned towards Wang Mu, her jade-like lips parted, and she recited a mysterious Cultivation Technique into his ear.
Wang Mu still felt dizzy listening to it, but he tried to focus.
[Cultivation: ...Heavenly Poison Scripture ( )...]
"Quick, quick, these poisonous creatures are perfect for your Cultivation!" You Ruhua grabbed a scorpion and thrust it towards Wang Mu.
Wang Mu imdiately sat in a ditative posture, allowing nurous poisonous creatures to crawl over his body. As he circulated the Cultivation Technique, his qi and blood surged, his skin took on a faint blue hue, and he began to emit a sweet fragrance.
"Brother Mu, to cultivate this technique, you’re missing one more thing..."
"What?"
"Open your mouth."
"This is..."
Wang Mu opened his mouth. You Ruhua lightly cut her finger—it was as white as a spring onion, as tender and smooth as fine jade.
A tallic, sweet taste, unexpectedly wonderful...
In an instant, Wang Mu felt as if the surrounding poisonous creatures were no longer venomous, but individual Treasures. They seed to congeal around his entire body, as if frozen stiff.
The blood from her fingertip emitted a mysterious, sweet fragrance.
His body began to emit a faint radiance.
"The Heavenly Poison Scripture! Holy Blood of the Wa Clan!" The mysterious person looked as if they had witnessed sothing utterly unbelievable. "You are a descendant of the Wa Clan!"
At this point, Wang Mu had entered a deep state of ditation, seemingly oblivious to everything.
"What are you talking about? I don’t understand," You Ruhua said, withdrawing her finger and looking at the mysterious person with a puzzled expression.
"Hmph, no need to pretend," the mysterious person said indifferently. "I never expected to witness the legendary Holy Blood of the Wa Clan in this place... Hahaha, how interesting! Truly interesting! Legend says the Wa Clan’s Holy Blood can neutralize all poisons and is renowned as the bane of all toxins. Seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation. The Heavenly Poison Scripture, furthermore, uses myriad poisons for Body Refining, creating an inexhaustible vitality and forging an immortal poison body. This is a legendary Divine Skill that requires the Holy Blood of the Wa Clan for Cultivation... I hear that very few in the Wa Clan have ever succeeded in mastering it..."
"Just this boy? You fed him the Wa Clan’s Holy Blood, and you think he can actually master it?"
"Tch..." You Ruhua pursed her lips.
Half a day later, a strange, flickering light surrounded Wang Mu. Countless poisonous creatures instantly turned into skeletal remains, and an endless torrent of poisonous power enveloped him.
"Impossible... What kind of peerless genius is this boy?" the mysterious person cried out in astonishnt. "How could he master it so easily?"
"Hmph, my Brother Mu is a martial arts prodigy..." You Ruhua’s eyes sparkled with delight.
