Chapter 1490: Predicament

Chapter 1490: Predicament Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Dugu family… “Dugu Fengchen…”

Ye Chen recalled the time he went to the Soul Race’s territory and killed the fifth young master of the Dugu family, Dugu Fengchen, an 18-year-old fourth-level Divine King realm genius. He had killed six other geniuses and two Primordial Chaos realm guardians from the Dugu family as well. It was not going to be easy to obtain the Thousand Demon Ginseng from the Dugu family!

“I have to think of a way to get it…”

“Should I ask Beigong Hongtian for help?” Ye Chen was a little nervous. He muttered to himself, “The grand elders behind Beigong Hongtian are all very shrewd. If they knew that I wanted the Thousand Demon Ginseng, they would definitely be happy to help, and will likely even pay for it.”

“However, they will definitely speculate as to the reason why I need the Thousand Demon Ginseng!”

Many experts from the poison-refining sects did not buy the Thousand Demon Ginseng, not because it was expensive, nor was it because it could not be bought.

It was simply because they could not use it after buying it. They were not as strong as Divine Deity Thousand Poison, so the slightest mistake while handling the Thousand Demon Ginseng would end up killing them, and even destroying their sects!

Therefore, the poison-refining sects of the western region did not even display the slightest interest in the Thousand Demon Ginseng. However, if Ye Chen suddenly appeared and bought it, people would definitely find out and start investigating the matter.

After all, Ye Chen had never used poison when he came to the Lingwu Continent, much less killed anyone with it. If Ye Chen suddenly purchased a poisonous treasure and said that he wanted to practice poison arts, few people would believe him, especially since poison-type experts were avoiding it.

“It’s best not to ask the Beigong family for help then. In any case, I don’t trust them. Perhaps, when the experts from the Hall of Souls return, they will leak my information to them.”

Ye Chen knew very well that he had to be careful. Once news about Ji Lin’s physique became known, people would undoubtedly link it back to the tragedy perpetuated by Divine Deity Thousand Poison five thousand years ago, which would make both him and Ji Lin the target of various sects.

Divine Deity Thousand Poison had overestimated himself, or perhaps underestimated the experts of the various forces. As a third-level Star Aperture realm expert, his strength was insufficient to deal with his enemies. As a result, he perished before reaching his full potential and chose to self-destruct to prevent his enemies from obtaining his inheritance and poison.

He threw all his poison techniques, poisons, treasures, and the inheritance of the peak ninth-level Sealed Gate realm expert into the sea. Over the years, all of the major forces had sent people there to search for the relics of Divine Deity Thousand Poison, which was how the Dugu family had obtained the Thousand Demon Ginseng.

Unfortunately, the Thousand Demon Ginseng was filled with his acquired poison, which could kill dozens of Dao Integration realm experts. Even the Dugu family’s fifth-level Creation realm grand elder had to handle the Thousand Demon Ginseng carefully while bringing it back.

Even so, he had been poisoned, and had to recuperate for the past two thousand years. Furthermore, it was said that he had not recovered from the poison yet!

Back then, the Dugu Family wanted to sell the Thousand Demon Ginseng in exchange for a few spacetime artifacts, which was why they held the auction. Unfortunately, no one even bid for the Thousand Demon Ginseng!

Everyone had heard that the grand elder was poisoned, so no one below the Creation realm dared to covet it. As for those who had reached the Creation realm, there were almost none of them who specialized in cultivating poison techniques. Even if they dabbled in it, they would not be able to use the Thousand Demon Ginseng without the accompanying technique and physique.

Thus, the Thousand Demon Ginseng had remained in the possession of the Dugu family.

“Auction!”

“I have to find a reason to make the Dugu family hold another auction!”

“I’ll bid for it myself, perhaps in disguise, and after I get the Thousand Demon Ginseng, I’ll disappear!” Ye Chen’s eyes flickered. He knew that even if he obtained the Thousand Demon Ginseng, others would definitely covet it. No one wanted to witness the birth of another Divine Deity Thousand Poison, which would threaten their sects and families.

Back then, when Divine Deity Thousand Poison was still a Dao Integration realm cultivator, he had already poisoned thirty million living beings to death. If another poison expert of his caliber appeared, it would probably cause a storm of blood.

This was a situation that no one wanted to see. Therefore, as long as Ye Chen bid for the Thousand Demon Ginseng, he would definitely be assassinated unless he was supported by a high-tier or top-tier force.

He had to make preparations in advance.

“Wait, Tomb Master!”

“After we obtain the Thousand Demon Ginseng and fuse it into Ji Lin’s body, it will indeed complete her Innate Poison Body. However, according to the records in the ancient books, there might still be some problems!”

“When I was free, I went through the ancient books of the Myriad Swords Palace and read up on various things,” Lan Xueyue recalled.

“I vaguely remember that before the war started, the ancient Heavenly Demon War God was an expert on the same level as the ancient Blood Demon Dragon God. He once had a mortal enemy who was known as the Innate Poison God, who was said to have an Innate Poison Body. The Innate Poison God, who was a fifth-level Sealed Gate realm expert, poisoned the Heavenly Demon Clan before the ancient war. Of course, the Heavenly Demon War God didn’t die!”

“However, hundreds of millions of living beings of the Heavenly Demon Clan died tragically at the hands of this Innate Poison God. Before the ancient war began, the Innate Poison God was killed by the Heavenly Demon War God. Before the Innate Poison God died, the Heavenly Demon War God interrogated him on how to nurture living beings with Innate Poison Bodies.”

“I remember that there was text left behind by the Innate Poison God in the ancient books.”

“To form and complete the Innate Poison Body, one needs to be nourished and then go through the tribulation of heavenly lightning. If one wants the Innate Poison Body, one needs the permission of the heavens!”

Lan Xueyue looked at Ji Lin with a complicated expression and continued, “It is only now that I understand that text. It needs to be nourished after birth, but it also needs to be nourished continuously during the process of growth!”

“After all, there were also demon gods in ancient times who wanted to nurture an Innate Poison Body, but without exception, they all failed!”

“Now, I feel that the Innate Poison Body might only form naturally like a first-generation bloodline. It also needs a large amount of acquired poison as nourishment, or perhaps the blood of someone who cultivated an acquired poison. Firstly, it will allow those with the Innate Poison Body to awaken!”
