Qian Renxue Fixates on Tang Shuo!

Just as Tang Shuo carried a large bundle out of a medicine shop.

At the street corner, a luxurious carriage slowly drove past.

A fair hand gently lifted the carriage curtain, revealing a peerlessly handsome yet somewhat delicate and feminine face.

It was none other than the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe.

His gaze inadvertently fell upon Tang Shuo and the packages in his hands that exuded an ominous aura.

"Hmm?"

Xue Qinghe's gaze narrowed slightly.

What would a student of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy want with purchasing such a massive quantity and chaotic variety of poisons?

Watching Tang Shuo's receding figure, the corners of Xue Qinghe's mouth curved into a smile.

"Interesting."

This person... at such a young age, actually wanted to cultivate with poison.

And furthermore, such miscellaneous poisons... was this person going to walk the path of refining the body through poison?

When did the Heaven Dou Empire produce such a figure?

Xue Qinghe's fingers gently tapped against the carriage window, his mind spinning rapidly.

Not a single ripple of wind or grass within the empire could escape his eyes.

Dugu's girl had a Jade-Scale Serpent Serpent Poison flare-up, and even the Ye family's Nine-Heart Begonia was helpless against it, yet it was easily resolved in the end by a newly enrolled student.

News of this matter had reached her ears long ago.

Could it be... it was him?

Tang Shuo.

The curve at the corner of Xue Qinghe's mouth deepened.

It seemed this Heaven Dou Imperial Academy was even more interesting than she had imagined.

Tang Shuo naturally had no idea that he had been targeted by the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.

At this moment, he had already returned to his dormitory.

The floor was covered with the various auxiliary poisons he had just purchased, emanating colorful and bizarre auras.

The Myriad-Poison Fiend Legs were the second step in forging the Primordial Hongmeng Divine Body.

It required fusing all the wonders of poisons under heaven, using the utmost yin and poisonous power to temper both legs.

These procured poisons were merely basic auxiliary materials, numbering up to ten thousand kinds.

And among them, the most crucial were the five primary poisons.

Snake, scorpion, centipede, toad, spider.

These five were indispensable.

Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison was already within his grasp.

The newly acquired centipede poison "Golden Feet Winding Smoke" and scorpion poison "Scarlet Hook Draping Clouds" were also top-tier choices at the ten-thousand-year level.

Only the final toad and spider poisons could not be found anywhere on the market.

It seemed he would have to make a trip himself.

Tang Shuo's goal was very clear.

The Star Dou Great Forest.

A few days later.

The Star Dou Great Forest, at the boundary between the outer and intermediate zones.

"Gurgle..."

A corrosive-poison swamp shrouded in miasma.

The air was filled with a nauseating stench and the smell of rot.

The black mud pit bubbled with poisonous froth, and the surrounding plants were all twisted and bizarre in appearance. Ordinary soul masters stepping into this place would melt into a pool of pus within moments.

Tang Shuo strolled leisurely, however, as a faint layer of golden light around his body isolated all the poisonous miasma.

According to the intelligence he had obtained, a soul beast named the Nine-Heart Toad inhabited the depths of this swamp.

The poison of this toad was extremely corrosive and virulent, and it was precisely one of the main ingredients he lacked for refining the Myriad-Poison Fiend Legs.

Tang Shuo took a jade box from his soul tool.

The jade box opened, containing several pitch-black, plump ants that were still wriggling slightly.

Black Jade Ant.

The favorite food of the Nine-Heart Toad, which also carried a trace of faint soul power.

He found the edge of a mud pit, placed the Black Jade Ants on a rock half-blackened by the corrosion of poison qi, and set up some simple guiding restrictions around them.

A crude yet effective trap was already complete.

Having finished all this, Tang Shuo's figure flashed, and he concealed himself behind a huge, decayed tree not far away, restraining all his aura as he quietly waited.

He had plenty of patience.

At the same time.

The other end of the Star Dou Great Forest.

An exquisitely beautiful figure was walking slowly through the forest.

She wore a luxurious long golden dress, her long golden hair cascading down like a waterfall, and her face looked sacred and noble. As she walked, she did not kick up a single speck of dust.

It was Qian Renxue.

At this moment, she was not wearing any disguise.

Her purpose for this trip was to obey a secret order from Spirit Hall.

No, to be more precise, it was an order she had issued to herself in her capacity as an elder.

To search for a heavenly treasure called the "Moonlight Glazed Stamen".

This item was an indispensable key raw material in her next disguise plan, one that could make her disguise even more seamless and even evade the detection of a Titled Douluo.

With so much at stake, there was no one she could completely trust by her side.

Qian Renxue could only come in person.

Her eyes were indifferent, sweeping across the dense forest ahead without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

To her, this perilous Star Dou Great Forest was no different from her own backyard.

At this moment, Qian Renxue's brows furrowed slightly.

She had followed a faint, elusive aura to search for several days, yet she had consistently failed to find any trace of the Moonlight Glazed Stamen.

She did not mind.

To find her target as quickly as possible, all her concentration was focused on sensing that unique treasured light, which made her somewhat neglectful of the changes in her surrounding environment.

Walking another few miles, the ground beneath her feet began to grow muddy, and the sweetish stench in the air turned into a nauseating putrid odor.

The towering ancient trees all around were replaced by twisted, grotesque vines and fungi.

Qian Renxue stopped abruptly, her pale-golden eyes sweeping over her surroundings.

Black mud pits bubbled with poisonous froth.

Miasma like gauze shrouded this place of deathly stillness.

Before she even realized it, she had stepped into a highly toxic swamp.

"Hiss, hiss—"

"Ribbit—"

Almost the moment she stopped, dense disturbances rang out from all directions.

A completely emerald-green venomous snake poked its head out of the mud pit, and colorful giant spiders crawled out from behind decayed tree trunks...

And countless poisonous insects whose names she could not name swarmed out from the ground and the black water.

Qian Renxue's expression showed a trace of solemnity for the first time.

The strength of these individual poisonous creatures was not considered high, with the highest being merely a thousand years of cultivation.

But... the quantity was simply too great.

Moreover, the poisonous miasma of this swamp had an extremely strong corrosive effect on soul power.

The protective soul power on the surface of her body was being consumed at an alarming rate.

"Courting death."

Qian Renxue's voice was cold. With a flick of her fingertips, a sharp golden blade of light flew out, instantly cleaving the one-eyed venomous snake at the very front into two halves.

However, this smell of blood was like igniting a powder keg.

More poisonous insects surged from all directions, fearless of death.

Qian Renxue's delicate brows locked tightly; she could not afford to keep consuming energy like this.

The Moonlight Glazed Stamen was not yet in hand, and if she were to capsize in a gutter here, word getting out would only make her a laughingstock.

It seemed... she had no other choice.

The next moment, an indescribable sacred aura erupted violently from within her body!

Golden light soared into the sky, instantly tearing apart the thick miasma shrouding the swamp!

Six-Winged Angel!
