Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record: Poison Chapter

"Fine," Wang Dong'er pouted, looking dissatisfied.

"I never imagined the scene here would be like this," Du Busi couldn't help but frown.

Currently, under the pretext of Lin Yuan's claim that "my martial soul has developed a special sensitivity," Du Busi had brought him deep into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Surrounding the magnificent Great Ice and Fire Mandarin Duck Pot, the area was a scene of utter devastation and ruin.

The surrounding trees had been knocked over in every direction, and many of the flowers and grasses were wilting powerlessly.

Lin Yuan even spotted the Silk Velvet Fragrant Immortal Herb and other immortal herbs that had appeared in the original story, but they all looked listless and weak.

"Stop... intruders..." the Silk Velvet Fragrant Immortal Herb wheezed, trying to dissuade Lin Yuan and Du Busi.

"Wow! A hundred-thousand-year-old plant-type soul beast!" Du Busi's eyes lit up as he approached the Silk Velvet Fragrant Immortal Herb.

Seeing the intruders attacking again, the Silk Velvet Fragrant Immortal Herb couldn't help but straighten its flower bud.

"Even if I have been beaten to a pulp by the previous intruders... I must..."

Thud!

A dull sound echoed, and the Silk Velvet Fragrant Immortal Herb collapsed to the ground once more.

"What are you mumbling about? Just get into my soul tool." With that, Du Busi stowed it away into a soul tool capable of holding living things.

Soul tools for storing living things had always existed, but until now, they could only hold plants and animals with low intelligence.

"Youyou!" the Blazing Apricot Delicate, which had fallen beside the fire spring, cried out in grief and indignation.

This shout caught Du Busi's attention; he flashed over to the Blazing Apricot Delicate and raised his fist.

"Master, wait!" Lin Yuan hurriedly called out to stop him, and Du Busi tilted his head to look at him.

"I read in the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's archives that the Blazing Apricot Delicate contains Blazing Glue produced within its body. We should extract it before putting it into the soul tool."

Lin Yuan certainly wasn't trying to stop Du Busi; he was reminding him of the most efficient way to handle the harvest.

"Hmm, that makes sense." A ferocious grin spread across Du Busi's face. It was good to have a knowledgeable disciple.

"You, what are you doing... No, don't!"

Watching Du Busi's expression and his thick, twitching fingers, the Blazing Apricot Delicate felt despair, even without a face to show it.

"Ah! Stop, you damned intruder! I'm going to chop off your fingers!"

The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass watched in despair as its friend was roughly gutted by Du Busi and then shoved into a soul tool.

Yet, it didn't dare to make a sound.

It wanted to flee, but it couldn't.

During the earlier conflict with that Water Snake Ape, everyone had sustained significant injuries.

Most of them had lost the ability to move and could only wait in despair to be slaughtered.

"Master, there's also that Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass over there. It has ice crystals in its body too!"

Following Lin Yuan's direction, Du Busi, not wanting his good disciple to get hurt, lunged toward the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

Facing Du Busi, whose face was filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass shouted, "Wait!"

"Oh?" Du Busi looked surprised.

"I'll do it myself." With that, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass spat out all the ice crystal essence stored within its body.

It honestly didn't let Du Busi land another punch, obediently entering Du Busi's storage soul tool on its own.

"It seems those two fellows had a fierce conflict with the soul beasts in this area. I never expected such hidden, super-powered experts to exist on the continent."

Soul tools for storing living things were generally small; Du Busi, carrying a sack, spoke to Lin Yuan, who was assisting with the looting behind him.

"Indeed. Master, do you know what level the previous experts were at?" Lin Yuan was also caught up in the joy of the harvest.

His question was rhetorical, as he knew better than anyone that there were only a few god-level experts on the continent.

Tang Hao and Ah Yin were impossible; if they wanted immortal herbs, they could just ask their precious son.

Given Tang San's blind filial piety, they would surely get as much as they wanted.

Gu Yuena? The Great Mother Dragon didn't dare take a single step out of the Star Dou Great Forest unless she transformed.

Moreover, after transforming, her god-level strength would naturally vanish, and the terrifying pressure from earlier couldn't have been fake.

Naturally, it couldn't be Gu Yuena either.

Therefore, the greatest suspicion fell upon Niu Tian and Titan.

But what kind of conflict could have caused those two to strike and wreak such havoc on the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?

One had to remember that not a single one of the immortal herbs he could name was missing from the well.

After scouring the area, the master and disciple arrived before an intact tree, where a wooden box lay quietly at its base.

"What is this?" Du Busi was very cautious and did not approach.

Based on his life experience, the more normal something appeared in a treasure trove, the more abnormal it actually was.

He swept his mental power across the object and discovered that what was hidden inside the wooden box was a book.

"Teacher..." Lin Yuan turned to the God of Destruction for help, his expression grim.

Because the most likely place for Tang San to have left behind a trap within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was this very wooden box containing the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record: Poison Chapter.

Since a trap had been set, it was only natural for the God of Destruction, who stood on the same level as Tang San, to step in and resolve it.

"Rest assured, there is no threat inside," the God of Destruction said confidently.

"Are you truly certain there is no threat?"

"There was one before, but it has been dispersed. I suspect those two divine beasts from earlier were the ones who dealt with it."

After confirming there were no issues, Lin Yuan watched with peace of mind as Du Busi stepped forward to open the wooden box.

Du Busi took out the Poison Chapter, and Lin Yuan followed behind him to take a look. Lin Yuan couldn't keep a straight face at the very first page, and neither could the God of Destruction.

[Greetings, fated one. I am the founder of the Tang Sect, Tang San...]

Lin Yuan skipped over the rest of the high-minded, circular rhetoric; the six words "founder of the Tang Sect" alone nearly made him burst out laughing.

Others might not know where the cultivation techniques of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record came from, but Lin Yuan knew clearly: he was nothing more than an outer sect disciple who had plagiarized the inner sect's techniques.

An outer sect disciple would always be an outer sect disciple; once an outer sect disciple, always an outer sect disciple.

These words were undoubtedly the greatest mental blow to Tang San, and Lin Yuan decided that when he faced Tang San in the future, he would definitely use this line to mock him mercilessly.

"As expected of someone who attained godhood ten thousand years ago, he is truly righteous. I even thought he was a hypocrite when I was young; it seems my thinking was wrong," Du Busi sighed as he looked at the first page.

His gaze then sharpened, and he looked at the surrounding environment, feeling something was amiss. "Come to think of it, why would this Poison Classic be in a place like this?"

"Could it be that the previous owner of this place collected it and intended to keep it all to himself?"

A preposterous thought occurred to Du Busi: could it be that Tang San never wanted his Poison Classic to be known by outsiders?

Then what was the point of this book's existence?

Could even the Tang Sect he founded not be allowed to know of it?
