Chapter 873: The Adventure of the Poisonous Heart-eating Insect
“As Fellow Daoist Lu can see, my arm is in quite bad condition at the moment.”
"While hunting evil spirits, I was accidentally infected by a strange evil poison. The infection was extremely fast. Fortunately, I made a prompt decision and cut off one of my arms."
“But the fracture has become what it is now.”
Hearing this, Lu Xuan took a step back without leaving a trace, his expression solemn.
“Do you, Daoyou Ye, need me somewhere?”
“That’s right, Ye came to buy a bottle of fourth-grade Chenchen Elixir from you, fellow Daoist Lu.”
“After being infected by the poison with a demonic aura, I tried many methods, but none of them had much effect. At most, they could only prevent the wound from worsening.”
“And the Dust Cleansing Pill refined by fellow Taoist has a good effect.”
“I plan to use Cleansing Pill to delay the deterioration of the injury, and then search for a fundamental solution.”
Ye Xuanyin said helplessly.
She had previously attended a private auction held by Lu Xuan at the grocery store and saw many dust-removing pills there.
But when I went there, they were all sold out. It took a long time to get one, and the price was ridiculously high.
She knew that the grocery store was Lu Xuan's property, so she guessed that Lu Xuan could refine the dust-removing pill, so she went straight to the outside of the cave to wait.
“Buy a bottle of Cleansing Pill? This is easy to say. Fellow Daoist Ye, please come in.”
Lu Xuan invited Ye Xuanyin into the cave without explaining where he went.
After arriving in the yard, he poured a cup of jade-washing dew for Ye Xuanyin.
“Fellow Daoist Ye, this Jade Cleansing Spirit Dew has the effect of washing away evil smells, and it is just right for you, Friend Daoist.”
Ye Xuanyin expressed his gratitude and took a big sip of the spirit brew.
Lu Xuan took this opportunity to check her condition and after confirming that she was not possessed by an evil spirit, he felt completely relieved this time.
“Fellow Daoist Ye, here is a bottle of dust-cleansing pills. There are ten pills in it. Is that enough?”
“That’s enough, I probably won’t be able to afford any more.”
Ye Xuanyin nodded and said.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, how many spiritual stones are needed for this bottle of Dust Cleansing Pill?”
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and smiled.
“You and I have known each other for many years, so let’s give you six thousand lower-grade spiritual stones each.”
Ye Xuanyin was stunned. The price was more than half lower than what he found in the grocery store.
She spent a long time looking for it in the grocery store owned by Lu Xuan and other shops. It would take a lot of luck to buy one out of ten thousand spirit stones.
“Okay, thank you Daoyou Lu, Ye owes you a favor.”
She has a straightforward temperament and does not have too much pretension. She took out a pile of mixed spiritual stones of medium and low grade and handed them to Lu Xuan.
“In order to hunt down as many evil spirits as possible, I have put almost all my wealth into preparations. Fellow Daoist Lu, please don’t laugh at me.”
Ye Xuanyin smiled bitterly.
“If Fellow Daoist Ye is in difficulty now, you can keep the spirit stone for the time being and return it to Lu later when you have more money.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. Although I haven't hunted many evil spirits, I still have a few. I can exchange them for two good treasures, and the materials can also sell a lot of spiritual stones."
Ye Xuanyin said immediately.
“Then you’re welcome, Mr. Lu.”
Lu Xuan smiled and took the spirit stone.
An idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of the poisonous heart-eating insect in the cave.
After that poisonous insect broke through to the fourth level, even if Lu Xuan fed it with a variety of poisons and toxins, the improvement in strength was extremely limited.
He thought to himself and looked up at Ye Xuanyin.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, I have a method that can help you clean up the evil poison with some certainty. I wonder if you are willing to try it?" "Fellow Daoist Lu, please tell me."
Ye Xuanyin’s eyes lit up.
"That's it, I fed a poisonous insect as a spiritual pet. It is extremely sensitive to toxins and loves all kinds of poisons by nature. It may be somewhat interested in the strange poison on Ye Daoyou's arm."
“Of course, the poisonous insect is only of the fourth level, it still depends on whether it has the idea of swallowing the evil poison.”
Lu Xuan said slowly, if it can leave such sequelae on a pill-forming monk, one can imagine the horror of the evil poison.
But the Poisonous Heart-Eating Insect's thirst for toxins can transcend life and death, and it has stayed at the fourth level for twenty or thirty years. It has been difficult to break through, so Lu Xuan decided to give it a chance.
Either try to swallow the strange poison and have a high chance of being promoted to the fifth level, or quit and stay in the cave for the rest of your life.
Although there is a lot of risk in swallowing poisonous poisons, Lu Xuan has several ways to eliminate evil spirits and can understand the detailed status of the poisonous insects, so he can protect the poisonous heart-eating insects.
“Ye is willing to give it a try.”
Ye Xuanyin did not hesitate and nodded in agreement.
She used many methods but could not solve the evil poison in her body. Purchasing the Cleansing Pill from Lu Xuan was just a helpless move and could not fundamentally solve the problem.
But what Lu Xuan said now ignited a glimmer of hope in her heart.
"good."
Lu Xuan nodded, and with a thought, he summoned the Poisonous Heart-Eating Insect hiding in the corner of the cave.
A burst of green smoke floated from afar, and soon, a colorful poisonous insect with green copper coin-shaped scars on its back appeared in front of the two of them.
"Is this a poisonous heart-eating insect? I've heard about it. It's an extremely rare poisonous insect."
“However, it is somewhat different from the information I learned.”
Ye Xuanyin looked puzzled.
“This is a heart-eating insect of a different species with hundreds of poisons.”
Lu Xuan explained casually.
"I see."
Hearing this, Ye Xuanyin felt a little more hopeful.
Lu Xuan kicked aside the poisonous heart-eating insect that was crawling towards him quickly, and conveyed Ye Xuanyin's situation to the poisonous insect's mind.
Venomous Insect’s pair of yellow-green pupils rolled around, looking at the flesh sprouts that were growing on the broken part of Ye Xuanyin’s arm, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.
Soon, the green copper coin scars behind it cracked silently, and wisps of green smoke floated out from inside.
“I want to try.”
In the end, the desire for evil spirits and poisons defeated the fear, and the poisonous heart-eating worm passed an idea to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan nodded slightly.
"Okay, I'll protect you."
He turned to look at Ye Xuanyin.
“Fellow Daoist Ye, this poisonous insect **** poison. It will come over and **** the poison from the broken part of your arm later. Please be mentally prepared, fellow Daoist.”
“Understand, I will control myself.”
Ye Xuanyin looked solemn, nodded and said.
She squatted down, relaxed her body, and pointed the broken part towards the poisonous heart-eating worm.
The Hundred Poison Heart-Eating Insect looked at the black flesh buds, and the dark green poisonous smoke on its back became thicker and thicker. It quickly rushed over and bit a large handful in one bite.
The black granulation seems to have vitality, growing rapidly and extending all the way into the poisonous insect's body.
The green smoke behind the poisonous insect condensed into a poisonous net, covering the broken part of Ye Xuanyin's arm.
The two highly toxic poisons were evenly matched at first, but soon the green smoke became invincible, gradually fading away, and the granulations inside the poisonous insect's body expanded rapidly.
Lu Xuan had been paying close attention to the condition of the Poisonous Heart-Eating Insect. He felt that the time was right, and his spiritual sense dragged it out of its unconscious state.
