CHAPTER 187: Heavenly Poison Jade Crystal [Fourth Update!]
“Can we leave now?” Zixie Qing looked at Chu Yang and asked lightly.
When she said this, her expression was calm; she had lived here for seventy thousand years but seemed to have no attachment to this place at all. There was not a hint of nostalgia.
“Just a moment, I’ll take care of the Black Blood Poison Heart Vine and put away the Mysterious Yin Bone Burning Water,” Chu Yang said as he walked to the back of the room. “You can take this time to tidy up your things, so you won’t have to come back for them in the future.”
“As long as I leave here, I will never return,” Zixie Qing said, her gaze sweeping around the area. A hint of sadness flickered in her eyes. “After living somewhere for so long, one inevitably develops feelings for the place… Human emotions are truly strange.”
Although she was stunningly beautiful and of noble origin, she always gave off an air of detachment, as if she were above the world, with a touch of coldness and ruthlessness.
Aside from her initial brilliance, after spending time together, Chu Yang no longer considered her just as a woman. It was terrifying! Wei Wuyan could gaze at her beauty for a while without consequence; yet, if he looked too long, he would be ruthlessly punished, as it was said to be: “to absorb dao realm power!”
In short, she used every means and excuse to force Chu Yang to fight, thus entering the dao realm.
Such a battle maniac as Chu Yang, with his unmatched resilience, was almost worn down to a point where he had lost interest in fighting: fighting should have wins and losses to be interesting, but always losing and being punished, what was the point?
Yet at this moment, she showed a trace of feminine sentiment, quietly walking to the flower rack and sitting down, silently gazing at the place where she had lived for seventy thousand years, remaining utterly still.
Even though she felt melancholy, heartache, and reluctance… all she could do was keep it in her heart.
Zixie Qing sat quietly, her expression indifferent.
Wei Wuyan and Chu Le'er sat nearby, not daring to disturb her.
Chu Yang walked over to where the Mysterious Yin Bone Burning Water was located.
Whether Zixie Qing knew or not, Chu Yang did not want her to follow; he did not want Wei Wuyan and Chu Le'er to know about this either.
It was not a distrust, but rather the more people, the more complications.
Because beneath this Black Blood Poison Heart Vine, there was very likely another hidden world!
The Black Blood Poison Heart Vine was different from the Black Blood Vine; although it had no poison, it was claimed to be the source of all poisons! This title was not just a casual remark.
Wherever the Black Blood Vine grew, there was bound to be a concentration of deadly toxins beneath!
And where the Black Blood Poison Heart Vine grew… there was a high chance that Heavenly Poison Jade Crystal was hidden below!
Heavenly Poison Jade Crystal was one of the nine great elixirs of Nine Heavens!
Heavenly Poison Jade Crystal had powerful effects and benefits for Chu Yang, the Sword Spirit, the Nine Calamity Sword, and even Chu Le'er!
Even for those he trusted the most, Chu Yang did not dare to reveal such a secret.
It could really lead to the extermination of his clan…
When he reached the cliff face, he indeed found the water was shockingly clear, and even from ten-odd zhang away, he could feel a chilling aura striking him directly.
“It is indeed the Bone Burning Cold Spring,” the Sword Spirit sighed with excitement in the Nine Calamity Space.
The surface of the water was steaming, creating a peculiar mist: it looked like flames were burning fiercely, bubbling and surging, faintly emitting a ‘hissing’ sound like flames burning.
“This spring water is extremely cold; within a zhang, ordinary people can be frozen to death; within three steps, bones will shatter; within a step, even a martial sovereign cannot stand; if one does not leave within a breath, they cannot leave at all.”
