Senluo Fruit

"Miss Miao Miao, please lead the way!" Lin Ming replied after Miao Miao made an inviting gesture.

"Then, distinguished guests, please follow me." After hearing Lin Ming's words, Miao Miao nodded and led the way.

As soon as he finished speaking, seeing Miao Miao set off, Lin Ming also headed upstairs. Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian immediately followed Lin Ming's steps and went upstairs together.

"Young master, I still don't know how to address you," Miao Miao said as she led the way.

"Lin Ming." After Miao Miao finished speaking, Lin Ming spoke in a calm tone.

"Young Master Lin!" Miao Miao's voice came through again after Lin Ming finished speaking.

Then, Lin Ming introduced Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan by name, and Miao Miao addressed them as such again.

"Young Master Lin, judging from your appearance, you are not from the Chu Yun Empire, are you?" Miao Miao said with certainty after the respectful address.

Although they could sense the strong poisonous aura within Xiao Yi Xian's body, there were other places besides the Chu Yun Empire where people cultivated Poison Dou Qi.

The vast majority of people in the Chu Yun Empire practice Poison Dou Qi, so much so that when people outside mention Poison Dou Qi, most people think of the Chu Yun Empire. However, this does not mean that only the Chu Yun Empire practices Poison Dou Qi.

Like the Ice River Valley in the Middle Continent, which cultivates the power of ice poison. Even Xiao Yi Xian was eroded by its Ice Poison Force when she was in its hands.

Therefore, although Xiao Yi Xian among the three of Lin Ming's showed signs of Poison Dou Qi, Miao Miao was still able to determine with certainty through observation that Lin Ming and the others were not from the Chu Yun Empire.

"What? Just because someone isn't from the Chu Yun Empire doesn't mean they can't come here?" Lin Ming's calm tone returned once again upon hearing Miao Miao's words.

"Young Master Lin, you misunderstand. How could I dare say I don't welcome you? I just heard that a foolish guard at the city gate offended you. Of course, this person is just a minor Dou Master and wouldn't cause Young Master Lin any trouble, but his backer is the Poison Cloud Sect." Upon hearing Lin Ming's words, Miao Miao immediately apologized. Then, Miao Miao explained the person involved in the incident at the city gate.

"Oh! You mean the Poison Cloud Sect with two Dou Wang?" Lin Ming said after Miao Miao finished speaking.

Since he was coming to the Chu Yun Empire, Lin Ming did some research on its Chu Yun Empire. So, besides the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect from the original story, Lin Ming also had some understanding of the Poison Cloud Sect.

Of course, Lin Ming's understanding of these things was limited to high-level combat power; Lin Ming didn't have time to look into their history.

"It seems Young Master Lin has some understanding of the power in Heavenly Poison City. It's the Poison Cloud Sect. However, the Poison Cloud Sect is currently only guarded by two Dou Wang, but it won't be long before Dou Emperor Expert takes over." Upon hearing Lin Ming's words, Miao Miao immediately replied affirmatively. As she spoke, a bitter expression unconsciously appeared on her face.

"Is the Sect Master of the Poison Cloud Sect about to break through to the Dou Emperor?" Lin Ming Miao Miao asked, but his tone was full of certainty.

According to Lin Ming's understanding, the Sect Master of the Poison Cloud Sect, Ren Fei Yun Feiyun, had already reached the Nine-Star Dou Wang.

In this Northwest Continent, especially within these familiar empires, it's not easy for a Dou Emperor Expert to suddenly appear out of nowhere. They are all people with names and identities who have cultivated and broken through to this level step by step.

Now that Miao Miao mentioned that someone in the Poison Cloud Sect was about to break through to the Dou Emperor realm, Lin Ming could only assume that it was the Poison Cloud Sect Master, Ren Fei Yun had made a breakthrough in his current cultivation level.

"Young Master Lin's guess is correct. It is indeed Ren Fei Yun who is about to break through to the Dou Emperor, or rather, he has already broken through to the Dou Emperor." After Lin Ming finished speaking, Miao Miao said in a lonely tone.

"Miss Miao Miao, such a secret matter as breaking through to the Dou Emperor shouldn't be made public like this. How did you find out?" Lin Ming asked with a hint of doubt after Miao Miao finished speaking.

"Young Master Lin, we've arrived." After Lin Ming asked, Miao Miao didn't reply, but instead pointed to the floor ahead and said.

"Xiao Yi Xian, let's go see if there's anything good." Since Miao Miao was unwilling to talk, Lin Ming didn't force her. As far as Lin Ming was concerned, even if Ren Fei Yun broke through to the Dou Emperor, he wouldn't pose much of a threat to them, so Lin Ming wasn't very interested in him. So after Miao Miao finished speaking, Lin Ming spoke to Xiao Yi Xian.

When it comes to sensing medicinal herbs, Zi Yan is actually the expert here. But things are different here; most of them are related to poison, and Zi Yan dislikes poison quite a bit, so Zi Yan has absolutely no interest in them.

Unlike Zi Yan, Xiao Yi Xian was quite different. After arriving on this floor, she had already spotted many highly poisonous creatures with just a brief glance. So much so that upon hearing Lin Ming's words, Xiao Yi Xian immediately headed towards these poisonous objects.

"Senluo Fruit!"

Upon arriving before these poisonous creatures, Xiao Yi Xian looked at the deep-colored, skull-like fruit before her and unconsciously cried out.

Although the Senluo Fruit is poisonous, its growth conditions are extremely demanding. Its very shape reveals that its formation is inextricably linked to human life.

For the Senluo Fruit to grow, in addition to the surrounding environment being filled with Poisonous Miasma, someone of the Dou Ling or above must die in that place, thus providing the Senluo Fruit with nutrients for growth through their body.

Only after absorbing the corpse of this Dou Ling will the Senluo Fruit finally take shape with this person's skull and reach maturity.

Because it absorbed Poisonous Miasma throughout its growth, coupled with the corpse's Corpse Qi, the mature Senluo Fruit extremely toxic. So much so that even smelling its aroma could be fatal to ordinary people, let alone picking it.

This is why these poisonous creatures are treated as treasures and sold in the Chu Yun Empire. In other places, people would probably avoid them even if they were given away, let alone want them.

Within the Jia Ma Empire, even mobilizing the Mittel Family's resources yielded few poisonous creatures. Now, seeing a considerable number of poisonous creatures comparable to the Senluo Fruit here, Xiao Yi Xian's joy was beyond words. With so many poisonous creatures, the Woeful Poison Body, which rapidly increases strength by consuming toxins, would finally unleash its terrifying rate of improvement, allowing her to finally assist Lin Ming later.
