Hundred-Millionfold Return, Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison! (4K)

[Ding! You have bestowed the treasure "Heartbreak Grass" upon your Disciple Lin Qingzhi, and have received Apprentice-Teaching Hundredfold Return Reward: Soul-Splitting Demon Grass.]

[Soul-Splitting Demon Grass: After consumption, the soul will be torn apart.]

Lu Changsheng returned to Taihua Mountain and began to bestow treasures upon the recipients one by one.

He obtained a black poisonous plant with various intricate patterns on it.

This poisonous herb is even more valuable than the Heartbreak Grass, and it can also be used to refine Demon Sects Medicinal Pills.

[Ding! You have bestowed the treasure "God-Slaying Flower" upon your Disciple Lin Qingzhi, receiving Ten-Thousandfold Return Reward for mentoring: Saint-Fall Flower.]

[Saint-Fall Flower: Even Saints will be poisoned by its fragrance.]

Lu Changsheng obtained a brightly colored flower, but the fragrance it emitted disrupted the flow of his Lu Changsheng Fortune.

Lu Changsheng immediately sealed the acupoints to prevent the inhalation of the flower fragrance.

He almost fell victim to the poison of the Saint-Fall Flower returned by the system.

The Saint-Fall Flower Eighteenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

[Ding! You have failed to reward your Disciple Lin Qingzhi with the treasure "Venom of the Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spider," but have been denied the Disciple-Teaching Rebate reward.]

Lu Changsheng bestowed upon Lu a jar of collected venom from the Ghost-Faced Spider, but the system returned nothing.

Lu Changsheng offered the reward several more times, but each time he received nothing.

"Wasn't the venom given as a reward enough?"

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment, perhaps one pot of poison was not enough.

Lu Changsheng was unwilling to give up, so he gave all the remaining venom of the Ghost-Faced Spider to Lin Qingzhi, who then gave it to Luo Xintang Lin Qingzhi.

[Ding! You have bestowed the treasure "Venom of the Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spider" upon your Disciple Lin Qingzhi, receiving a reward of 150 million times the amount Disciple-Teaching Rebate: Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison.]

[Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison: A highly refined poison produced within the body of a fully grown Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect. Even a Changsheng Never Dies Great Expert would have their physical body corroded upon contact with this poison.]

Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison?!

This is great stuff!

The Lianshan Holy Land compiled a book called "The Exotic Poisons Ranking," which records the most dangerous poisons in the Three Realms. Among them, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison produced by the Demon Core of the fully grown Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect ranks sixth on the Exotic Poisons Ranking.

The five rare poisons ranked higher than the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison on the Exotic Poisons Ranking are mostly legendary poisons that are rarely seen.

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison could no longer be produced after the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insects of the Life-Ending Valley were killed.

In High Antiquity times, several Changsheng Never Dies Human Race were killed by the Great Expert Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insects, including a Grand Supreme Elders the Heavenly Sect. That's why the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sect led his people to besiege the Life-Ending Valley.

The system returned only one gourd of Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison, which may not seem like much, but it is the sixth most potent poison on the Exotic Poisons Ranking.

"If Law Treasure is tainted with the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison and injures its opponent, even Great Expert will succumb to the poison and perish."

Lu Changsheng realized the wonderful uses of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison.

The deadly poison of the fully grown Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect is so potent that even Great Expert cannot withstand it.

Law Treasure is contaminated with the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison, it will become an extremely terrifying hidden weapon.

Lu Changsheng took out a silver needle, held his breath, opened the gourd's stopper, and inserted the silver needle into it.

However, the silver needles melted instantly upon contact with the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison.

Even a Low-Grade Emperor Weapon- level silver needle cannot withstand the deadly poison, let alone be used as a hidden weapon.

Lu Changsheng gave a wry smile.

Using the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison as a hidden weapon presents two challenges.

First, the Law Treasure must be strong enough to withstand the corrosive effects of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison.

Secondly, the Law Treasure must break through the opponent's defenses in order to poison them; otherwise, it will be difficult to exert the effect of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison.

"It seems that killing Great Expert with the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison alone won't be so easy; the opponent won't be easily breached."

Lu Changsheng sighed.

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison can kill Great Expert, but there are prerequisites.

"Nevertheless, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison can still be my means of survival. First, I need to obtain a magical Law Treasure strong enough to withstand the corrosive effects of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison, and then refine it into a hidden weapon."

Lu Changsheng searched high and low within the treasure trove of his Inner World for a long time, but still couldn't find a suitable Law Treasure.

Flying Swords Law Treasure not very suitable as hidden weapons.

It seems the only way is to reward disciples with Law Treasures and try to obtain suitable Law Treasure.

Among all the disciples, the Eleventh Disciple, Su Xiaoqi, is an assassin and is best suited for hidden weapon-type magic Law Treasure.

So Lu Changsheng summoned Su Xiaoqi and bestowed upon her a large number of hidden weapons and magical Law Treasures.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Su Xiaoqi the Low-Grade Emperor Weapon "Flame Divine Needle," and have received Ten-Thousandfold Return Reward mentoring: the Upper-Grade Emperor Armament "Solar Divine Needle."]

Lu Changsheng bestowed three Flame Divine Needles as a reward, and the system returned three Solar Divine Needles.

Isn't this the Law Treasure of Fairy Shunhua, Lin Xuantong's Third Disciple?

Fairy Shunhua's Law Treasure is a set of nine Solar Divine Needles, and Solar Divine Needle Lu Changsheng obtained three of them.

Lu Changsheng tried to see if the Solar Divine Needle could withstand the toxicity of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison.

The Solar Divine Needle was contaminated with the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison; its bright needle body began to turn black and then gradually dissolved.

Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison really that powerful?

Lu Changsheng was shocked by the toxicity of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison.

The Solar Divine Needle is already Upper-Grade Emperor Armament; could it be that only Dao Artifact- level Law Treasures can withstand the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison?

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, intending to obtain a Dao Artifact- level hidden Law Treasure.

So Lu Changsheng continued to bestow hidden weapons and magical Law Treasure rewards.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Su Xiaoqi the Upper-Grade Sacred Artifact "Star-Iron Dart Knife," and have received Ten-Thousandfold Return Reward mentoring: the Mid-Grade Emperor Weapon "Divine Sense Shadow Blade."]

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Su Xiaoqi the Mid-Grade Emperor Weapon "Divine Sense Shadow Blade," receiving Apprentice-Teaching Thousandfold Return Reward: Dao Artifact Fragment ×1.]

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Su Xiaoqi the Middle-Grade Sacred Artifact "Cold-Soul Silver Needle," and have received Apprentice-Teaching Hundredfold Return Reward: the Upper-Grade Sacred Artifact "Ice Silkworm Cold Needle."]

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Su Xiaoqi the Upper-Grade Sacred Artifact "Ice Silkworm Cold Needle," and have received Apprentice-Teaching Hundredfold Return Reward: the Low-Grade Emperor Weapon "Poison Flood Dragon Ice Needle."]

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Su Xiaoqi the Low-Grade Emperor Weapon "Poison Flood Dragon Ice Needle," receiving a 100,000 times reward for mentoring: Dao Artifact Fragment ×1.]

Lu Changsheng bestowed over a dozen kinds of hidden weapons and magical Law Treasures, but failed to obtain Law Treasures that satisfied him. The best reward was undoubtedly the Dao Artifact Fragment.

To date, Lu Changsheng has accumulated nearly 700 Dao Artifact Fragments, which he can synthesize into a Dao Artifact at any time.

The more fragments used to synthesize Dao Artifact, the higher Law Treasure quality. Lu Changsheng didn't plan to use up all these Dao Artifact Fragments so soon.

If you collect 888 or 999 Dao Artifact Fragments and then synthesize them into a Dao Artifact, you might just get a top-tier magic Law Treasure.

A dozen or so Ninth-Grade Dao Artifacts are not as valuable as a single Fifth-Grade Dao Artifact.

Before obtaining suitable hidden Law Treasure to use the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison, Lu Changsheng used three Solar Divine Needles dipped in the venom of the Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spider as hidden weapons.

A disciple of the Taihua Sacred Ground arrived at Lu Changsheng's cave abode and informed Lu Changsheng, "Saint Son, the Sacred Lord has summoned Grand Elders to the main hall to announce something, and he requests your attendance."

"I'll head over right away."

Lu Changsheng knew that Lin Xuantong planned to announce that he and Lin Qinghan would take over some of the affairs of the Holy Land.

If nothing unexpected happens, once Lu Changsheng reaches the God King Realm and Lin Qinghan becomes Great Perfection Immortal Emperor, the two of them will be able to replace Lin Xuantong and take charge of the Taihua Sacred Ground.

Upon receiving Lin Xuantong's notification, all the Grand Supreme Elders and Elders flew towards the Main Peak hall of the Taihua Divine Mountain.

"Why has the Sacred Lord suddenly summoned everyone for a meeting after just returning from the Life-Ending Valley?"

"Does His Sacred Lord have something important to announce?"

"The Three Realms have been quite turbulent lately; our Taihua Sacred Ground has been holding more meetings than ever before."

The Grand Supreme Elders and Elder members discussed the matter animatedly, and some Elder usually lived in seclusion and were busy with cultivation also came out of seclusion as a result.

"The Saint and Holy Maiden have arrived!"

The Elders were agitated by the arrival of Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan.

Lu Changsheng rose to fame in the battle of Heavenly Court, helping the Taihua Sacred Ground to become renowned far and wide. Among the Elders and disciples of the Taihua Sacred Ground, he already enjoys extremely high prestige.

Lin Qinghan inherited the Taihua Divine Parasol, the Dao-Proving Law Treasure of the Taihua Goddess, in the Divine Maiden Dao Ruins. Her aptitude was second only to Lu Changsheng, and she was also a direct descendant of the Lin Household clan, thus holding a high position.

Jiang Yu, Ye Feng, and other geniuses from other branch families have lost their eligibility to compete for the position of Sacred Lord and have become Elders of the Taihua Sacred Ground.

Many of the Elders of the Taihua Sacred Ground are geniuses of their respective eras, but only one person can take charge of the Holy Land. The others can only become Elders and then be promoted to Grand Supreme Elders.

Jiang Yu stood among the Jiang Household family patriarch Jiang Sheng and other Jiang Household, but compared to Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan, Elder were the focus of the entire event, Jiang Yu appeared rather lackluster.

His current identity is simply that of an unassuming Elder of the Taihua Sacred Ground.

Soon, Lin Xuantong, who had gathered everyone, appeared at the head of the table. "Elders, I have summoned you all here today to announce something—from this day forward, all affairs, large and small, within the Holy Land will be handled by the Saint and Saintess. Once they are familiar with the affairs, they will take charge of the Holy Land, serving as the Sacred Lord and Deputy Sacred Lord respectively. Do any of you have any objections?"

Wow.

The crowd erupted in uproar.

I didn't expect Lin Xuantong to be planning to step down so soon!

Under normal circumstances, the lord of Holy Land can rule over Holy Land for tens of millions of years. For example, the Yaochi Holy Mother ruled Yaochi for eighty million years.

Although the Yaochi Holy Mother continued to rule Yaochi because her carefully nurtured disciple, Immortal Maiden Yuehua, was captured by the Demon Marshal and there was no suitable replacement, and most of the affairs were actually handled by Liu Mufeng and Feng Qing'er, the Yaochi Holy Mother has actually ruled Yaochi for tens of millions of years.

Lin Xuantong has been in charge of the Taihua Sacred Ground for only ten million years, and he's already going to abdicate?

All I can say is that Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan have grown up too fast.

Especially Lu Changsheng; according to Lin Xuantong's estimate, Lu Changsheng's combat power will surpass his in less than a few million years.

With someone whose talent surpasses even that of the Heavenly Emperor's Son in charge of the Taihua Sacred Ground, the future of the Taihua Sacred Ground is bright, and it may even become a super Sects like the Heavenly Sect of High Antiquity times.

Moreover, since Lu Changsheng agreed to make Lin Qinghan his deputy, Lin Xuantong had absolutely no reason not to support Lu Changsheng's rise to power.

If the Taihua Sacred Ground develops into a super Holy Land like the Heavenly Sect, comparable to the Eight Divine Palaces, then the status of the Deputy Sacred Lord will be higher than that of the current Taihua Sacred Lord.

"We have no objection."

The Elders of the Night Household were the first to provide assistance.

Lu Changsheng knew that the Ye family lineage of the Taihua Holy Land was descended from the ancient Ye clan that the Taihua Goddess had saved years ago, so he understood the attitude of the Ye family elders.

The Night Household almost unconditionally supported Lin Xuantong's decision.

Needless to say, the Lin Household family was even more so.

Lin Qinghan serves as the Deputy Sacred Lord, and Lu Changsheng is Lin Xuantong's disciple. In reality, the Lin Household family still holds a great deal of real power.

"No objection."

The other Elders who had branched out also had no objections.

Just kidding. Lu Changsheng defeated the Heavenly Emperor's Son at the Heavenly Court Assembly and led a team to wipe out a Blood Sea Hall stronghold. His prestige is extremely high. Is there anyone else in the Taihua Sacred Ground who can surpass Lu Changsheng?

"Then this matter is settled."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Lin Xuantong nodded in satisfaction.

Jiang Yu's gaze towards Lu Changsheng was filled with jealousy.

Although Jiang Yu's aptitude is not as good as Lin Qinghan's, before Lu Changsheng joined the Taihua Sacred Ground, it was entirely possible for him to take control of the Taihua Sacred Ground by marrying Lin Qinghan.

However, after Lu Changsheng joined the Taihua Sacred Ground, Jiang Yu had no chance of becoming the Taihua Sacred Lord.

"Congratulations, Saint! Soon Saint will be able to take charge of the Holy Land."

"I hope the Saint will continue to take good care of me in the future."

Many Elders and disciples offered their congratulations to Lu Changsheng.

When the Calamity occurs, it is highly likely that Lu Changsheng will lead them through Tribulation Transcendence.

"Elders, let us unite as one and overcome this difficult time together."

Lu Changsheng agreed.

In reality, even when he took charge of the Taihua Sacred Ground, Lu Changsheng still focused on his own cultivation. As for the trivial matters of the Holy Land, he left them to Lin Qinghan and his disciples to handle.

Lu Changsheng's improvement of his own cultivation level is the greatest help he can give to the Taihua Sacred Ground.

"Life is unpredictable, Jiang Yu. You must cultivate diligently and never slacken your efforts. It's not uncommon for someone to rise to the top."

Jiang Sheng, the head of the Jiang Household family, reminded Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu said solemnly, "This junior will not slack off. Sooner or later, my cultivation will surpass that of Lu Changsheng."

"Very good, that's enough, you have that kind of ambition."

Jiang Sheng stared at Lu Changsheng, a hint of fierceness in his eyes.

After Lu Changsheng was designated as the successor to the Sacred Lord, he possessed greater authority in the Taihua Sacred Ground.

Lu Changsheng could freely browse the Scripture Repository in the Taihua Sacred Ground and some special books in the Rear Mountain.

While browsing through a book on alchemy, Lu Changsheng came across an introduction to a Demon Pill.

"The Heaven-Poison Pill —if one were to ingest it carelessly, even Great Expert would perish."

Ah?

This Poison Pills is indeed potent; even a Changsheng Never Dies Great Expert would die if they consumed it.

But who would take such Poison for no reason?

If one possesses the power to force Great Expert to consume the Heaven-Poison Pill, would they still need to make the other party take such Poison?

Lu Changsheng continued reading.

"The Heaven-Poison Pill is Twenty-First-Grade Poison Pills, requiring the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison as its raw material for refinement, making it extremely rare..."

"..."

Lu Changsheng does indeed possess the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison, but Lu Changsheng doesn't know what use the Heaven-Poison Pill he could refine would have...

"I know Suxin Immortal Maiden, the Pill Saint of the Lianshan Holy Land. I can use some of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison as payment to ask her to refine the Heaven-Poison Pill. However, the effects of this kind of Poison Pills are really limited. How about refining one Heaven-Poison Pill first and keeping it for self-defense? It might come in handy?"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Changsheng decided to take out some of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison and ask the Pill Saint to refine a Twenty-First-Grade Poison Pills.
