Song Wen turned to look at Shadow Void, somewhat surprised that this beast had such an extraordinary background.
But on reflection, it made sense. Even before this beast had fully hatched, its spiritual sense attacks could severely injure Hong Zhe, a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator.
Once it finished hatching, its spiritual sense attacks might well threaten Body Integration cultivators.
Song Wen turned back and continued questioning him.
"Hong Zhe, what was that dark green powder you used to subdue Shadow Void?"
"Illusion-destroying powder!" Hong Zhe said. "A poison that specifically targets the Void Race. It is harmless to humans, and even beneficial to certain demonic beasts."
Song Wen perked up. "Do you have any more illusion-destroying powder in your storage ring?"
If he could obtain a large quantity of illusion-destroying powder, his chances of crossing the strait would be much greater.
Hong Zhe shook his head. "No. I only had that one bottle. The sect granted it to me only because Shadow Void was about to hatch, as a precaution against any mishap."
"Do you know how to refine it?" Song Wen settled for the next best thing.
Hong Zhe shook his head. "The formula for illusion-destroying powder is one of the Divine Blood Sect's secrets. I do not know it. However, its main ingredient is the Bodhi Spirit Stamen, which is highly poisonous to the Void Race. The bottle I used contained seventh-tier illusion-destroying powder, refined from a ten-thousand-year-old Bodhi Spirit Stamen."
"Ten thousand years old!" A flash of surprise crossed Song Wen's eyes.
He had never seen a single spiritual herb over ten thousand years old.
Yet a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb could only be used to refine seventh-tier illusion-destroying powder. How old would a Bodhi Spirit Stamen need to be to refine the eighth- or ninth-tier versions?
