The centipede in front of him was at least 300 meters long, and the poison it contained must have reached an astonishing level.
Wang Lin was no stranger to centipedes. The children in the village often caught small centipedes from the cracks in the rocks to play with. Some even caught centipedes to feed their poultry.
Sometimes, when one was careless and bitten by a centipede, although the bite area would become red and swollen, as long as one used Shimizu to wash it, it wouldn't be life-threatening. At most, one would have to stay home for a few days.
There was even a time when he specifically collected centipede poison. The village doctor said that centipede poison, if used properly, could cure illnesses.
In the early years, in order to support the family, his father couldn't afford to buy wood, so he had to go up the mountain to cut wood himself. The mountain was very cold, and his father accidentally caught a cold, almost losing his life.
At that time, the doctor had written a prescription that included centipedes.
Later, although his father recovered from his illness, the root of the illness was branded in his body. Every time it rained, his entire body would be in unbearable pain. The doctor said that centipede poison could alleviate the illness. For this reason, Wang Lin had caught many centipedes to treat his father's illness.
Even now, Wang Lin still remembered the events of the past.
Looking at the 300 meter long centipede in front of him, Wang Lin rubbed his chin. If the small centipede's poison could cure illnesses, then the big centipede's poison would definitely be even more effective. Perhaps it could even cure his father's chronic illness in one go.
However, the centipede in front of him was too big. Compared to it, Wang Lin was really insignificant. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to extract the poison and would instead be injured.
Suddenly, Wang Lin's expression changed. He remembered a recipe in the village for extracting centipede poison. It was said that this recipe was passed down from the older generation. It was to boil some medicinal herbs into granules and feed them to the centipede, causing it to spit out the poison.
Thinking of this, he stared at the thousand-legged centipede, his heart stirring. Without another word, he walked toward the alchemy room.
If there was a place in the entire sect with the most medicinal herbs, it would be the Pill Room. He and Wang Hao hadn't seen each other for four years, so this was a good opportunity to take a look.
As the sky darkened, Wang Lin arrived at the alchemy room just in time to see Wang Hao cautiously coming out from the side door. When Wang Hao noticed Wang Lin, he quickly put his hand over his mouth and shushed him, signaling for him to leave first.
Wang Lin was startled. He scanned the room with his Divine Sense and found that his Third Senior Brother was in the Pill Room with a solemn expression. He was constantly throwing various herbs into the Pill Furnace with a focused expression.
After walking a short distance, Wang Hao tiptoed out. When he saw Wang Lin, he didn't say anything. Instead, he pulled him along as they ran. Only when they were a good distance away did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Wang Lin, I heard you participated in the training four years ago. How was it? What level of Qi Condensation are you at now?" Wang Hao asked quickly, his expression filled with pride.
"Third level of Qi Condensation … Eh?"
Wang Lin scanned him with his Divine Sense. Wang Hao seemed transparent to him. With just a glance, he was shocked. Wang Hao had already reached the first level of Qi Condensation, but there was something strange about his body. His spiritual energy wasn't circulating in the normal way, but in a completely new and bizarre way.
Every time the spiritual energy circulated, it would extract a strand of Essence Qi from Wang Hao's organs and fuse it into his body.
Wang Hao smiled proudly. "You saw through it?"
Wang Lin nodded. "Wang Hao, tell me, what's going on?"
Wang Hao gave Wang Lin a mysterious look and smiled. "This is a cultivation technique I secretly traded for. Hehe, once I've mastered it, I'll tell you in detail.
Right, brother Tiezhu, why did you come looking for me? "
Wang Lin gave him a deep look. He always felt that Wang Hao's cultivation was too strange, but Wang Hao was very excited, so he didn't say anything more. He pondered a little and told him about the recipe.
Wang Hao immediately guaranteed it and said there was no problem.
The two of them chatted for a bit, then Wang Hao quickly left.
Wang Lin was about to return to the herb garden when he suddenly had a strange expression. He looked at the guest room of the Xuan Dao Sect, pondered a little, and walked toward it.
Before he got close, he heard an exaggerated voice coming from inside.
"I say, brothers of the Heng Yue Sect, this flying sword of mine is amazing. It is one of the treasures of the Xuan Dao Sect. It is called the Meridian Gold Sword. You guys can go ask around.
It wasn't easy for me to steal it. If any of you want to trade it, you must swear not to take it out again at the gathering. Otherwise, I won't sell it. "
"Really? Is this treasure really as amazing as you say?" Someone immediately said in disbelief.
"I, Li Shan, never lie. If you guys don't believe me, then forget it.
I can sell this flying sword no matter where I put it. "
Wang Lin noticed that there was something strange about this place. There were a lot of people gathered here. There were disciples from both sects. He walked closer and saw a 20 year old Xuan Dao Sect disciple with a square face and thick eyebrows. He was holding a small sword made of copper coins.
He was standing in the center and talking.
The surrounding Xuan Dao Sect disciples all revealed strange expressions. One of them couldn't stand it anymore. He coughed and said, "Brother Li Shan is right. The Meridian Gold Sword is indeed one of the treasures of the Xuan Dao Sect. However, I have to say that the sword in brother Li Shan's hand is a fake, but it still has some use."
The Heng Yue Sect disciples began to discuss among themselves. Finally, a 5th layer Qi Condensation disciple walked out. Wang Lin remembered that this person was named Zhao. Disciple Zhao and Li Shan talked for a long time. Wang Lin didn't know what they were talking about, but they both smiled and reached a deal.
Some of the inner disciples sneered, "It is just a sword made of common steel with some spirit metal added to it. You dare to sell it? The Xuan Dao Sect is only so-so."
Li Shan immediately retorted, "Brother Li, you are wrong. My junior brother already pointed out that it is a fake, but doesn't your Heng Yue Sect still have people who want to buy it? This kind of thing is the best for collection."
The Heng Yue Sect disciple named Zhao's expression changed and he laughed, "Brother Li, you are wrong. I am not buying this broken sword for collection. I am buying it to give to my dad. My family is a pig butcher, so this sword is perfect for me."
Li Shan wasn't angry. He smiled and said, "Anyway, you bought it. As for what you do with it, I don't care. Okay, I have another treasure here. It is called the Invincible Black Ash Sky Stink Bomb.
This thing is a treasure. I won't lie to you this time. You can test it on the spot. "
After saying that, he took out a black ball and threw it at the wall. With a boom, a spiderweb-like crack appeared on the wall. The surroundings were pitch-black, and there was even a stench coming from it.
"What do you think? This Invincible Black Ash Stinking Thunderbolt Bomb is a hidden weapon unique to me, Li Shan. Although it's not very powerful, if it were to hit someone, even I wouldn't be able to wash off the black ash. Especially this stinking smell. I painstakingly collected the bodily fluids of dozens of exotic beasts to make it. It's definitely a powerful weapon to disgust people!" Li Shan explained with a smile on his face.
Everyone looked at each other, dumbfounded. Some of the female disciples covered their noses and took a few steps back.
Wang Lin was also very surprised. He spread out his divine sense and his expression suddenly became strange.
The disciples of the Xuan Dao Sect all felt very embarrassed. Li Shan was famous for making all kinds of strange things, so very few people were willing to provoke him. After all, no one wanted to be hit by a stink bomb.
This Invincible Black Ash Sky Stink Bomb was very famous in the Xuan Dao Sect. It could even be compared to some of the treasures in the sect.
"What do you think? This time I have put in a lot of effort, but I will still say the same thing. You must not use it in the competition in three days, or else I won't sell it to you."
Li Shan revealed a serious expression, but in his heart he was secretly laughing, "You bunch of idiots. The more I say this, the more you have to use it. Hehe, there will be a good show to watch. When the elders go back, they will definitely praise me and maybe even give me a few treasures."
