Xu Long didn't even bother looking at those below the fiftieth rank; instead, he set his sights on the Poison Lady.
This is a spider demon; as its name suggests, it is extremely venomous.
The number of people who have died at her hands has reached 1,336, and that's just the count; the number of those who haven't been included is unknown.
The Poison Lady's strength wasn't particularly high, but her poison was extremely potent.
Even A-rank Reincarnation Temple is doomed if they get hit.
However, Xu Long didn't take these things to heart; in fact, he quite liked this type of story.
Because the toxins were of no use to him whatsoever.
Power of Pure Yang is fierce and domineering, rejecting anything that is not of the Yang attribute.
Once the toxins enter the body, they are eliminated directly without even having a chance to take effect.
The Poison Lady, who is terrifying to others, is just a woman in front of Xu Long.
This time, Xu Long didn't bring Chen Xuanzang along. The Poison Lady's poison was too potent; if Chen Xuanzang were to come into contact with it, he would be doomed immediately.
Although Xu Long was plotting against Chen Xuanzang, he didn't want him to die.
After leaving the temple, Xu Long immediately soared into the sky.
He was very fast, and in less than ten minutes he traversed hundreds of kilometers to reach the outer edge of the Ten Thousand Poisons Forest.
Apart from the Poison Lady, there are no other poisonous creatures in the Ten Thousand Poisons Forest. This monster has a voracious appetite and no dietary restrictions; she eats people when there are people around, and small animals when there are no people around.
She eats anything and everything, from wild boars and goats to rats and hedgehogs.
It must be said that such a monster is extremely rare; at least, this is the first time Xu Long has ever seen one.
Just as he was about to enter the Ten Thousand Poisons Forest, Xu Long raised an eyebrow; he noticed someone approaching.
"Hmm? It's actually Prince Vacant, interesting!"
His face was as pale as paper, and he looked like he had kidney deficiency. He sat on a sedan chair carried by four old women, coughing every now and then.
It is indeed the Prince Kidney Deficiency, or rather, the Prince Vacant!
Prince Kidney Deficiency has suffered from kidney deficiency since childhood. It's not because he's been promiscuous, but because the Sword Controlling Technique he cultivates requires nourishment with his own essence and blood.
To be precise, the Prince Kidney Deficiency is not only deficient in the kidneys, but deficient in every part of his body.
Otherwise, why would they hire an old woman like this when they could use pretty young girls to carry the sedan chair?
"So it's the Prince Kidney Deficiency!"
Xu Long bowed respectfully. He had originally planned to rush in and quickly finish off the Poison Lady before heading to his next target.
However, after meeting the Prince Kidney Deficiency, Xu Long changed his mind.
He was very interested in the Sword Controlling Technique of the Prince Kidney Deficiency, but he didn't know anything about the other party's background.
Therefore, out of caution, he planned to have the Poison Lady investigate the background of the Prince Kidney Deficiency.
"I'm not the Prince Kidney Deficiency, no, no, I'm not the Prince Vacant! I've had kidney deficiency since I was a child, no, I'm Void! I've taken good care of my kidneys! My kidney deficiency, my Void..."
Upon hearing Xu Long's address, the Prince Kidney Deficiency instinctively began to explain.
However, the more he tried to explain, the less convinced Xu Long became.
"My family has a long tradition of traditional Chinese medicine, specializing in treating kidney deficiency!"
Xu Long glanced at him and said indifferently.
"Um?"
The incessantly chattering Prince Kidney Deficiency deficiency suddenly stopped talking, looking at Xu Long as if he had seen a savior.
"Brother, I have a friend who's had kidney deficiency since childhood. I'm talking about my friend, not me; my kidneys are perfectly fine. He'd do anything to cure him."
The Prince Kidney Deficiency stared longingly at Xu Long, his face filled with anticipation.
"Treatment isn't difficult; just stick this thing into your neck, and it'll have an immediate effect. However, kidney deficiency can't be cured in a day or two; it takes at least half a month."
Xu Long tossed a syringe to the Prince Kidney Deficiency. It was a diluted version of the Chaotic Mutation Agent used in the Dragon Ball world, which could stimulate cell activity in a short time.
"Yeah, thanks bro!"
Perhaps it's a case of desperation leading to desperate measures, or perhaps it's a sign of great self-confidence.
After receiving the medicine, the Prince Kidney Deficiency plunged it fiercely into his neck.
"Oh!"
The medication takes effect immediately upon entering the body.
The Prince Kidney Deficiency let out a soft groan. He felt his heart suddenly race, and an unprecedented power appeared out of nowhere.
"Isn't your friend suffering from kidney deficiency? You used the medicine, so what should your friend use?"
Seeing the ecstatic look on the Prince Kidney Deficiency, Xu Long asked in surprise.
"My friend and I are like brothers. I'll try it out for him first, and if it works, I'll give it to him."
The Prince Kidney Deficiency chuckled awkwardly, but there was no embarrassment on his face.
Nourishing a sword with essence and blood results in a far greater power than other methods.
However, this approach also has significant drawbacks, such as the risk of kidney deficiency.
His lineage of disciples are all like this; while nurturing their swords, they end up destroying themselves first.
After all, kidney deficiency is a serious problem and can easily lead to disharmony in marital life...
Uh, it can easily lead to disharmony between master and apprentice...
Anyway, it's extremely harmful!
If he could obtain the formula for that potion, he might not become the Savior of his sect, but he would certainly be remembered in history.
With this in mind, the Prince Kidney Deficiency immediately made a decision: he would try to build a good relationship with Xu Long and, ideally, find a way to get in touch with the old traditional Chinese medicine doctor in his family.
"Brother, what is your honorable name? Did you come to the Ten Thousand Poisons Forest for that Poison Lady?"
"Kidney-Deficient Air" asked very politely.
"My name is Xu Long, and I have come here naturally to rid the people of this scourge!"
Xu Long spoke with righteous indignation, but no one knew what he was really thinking.
"In that case, why don't you and I, brothers, travel together? That way we can look after each other."
"Alright!"
Xu Long nodded. The Prince Kidney Deficiency was too easy to fool; he fell for the trap so easily.
Actually, it's normal. Anyone who has been impotent for over a decade, and then suddenly finds out they can get an erection, will become just like him.
There are no poisonous creatures or even animals in the Ten Thousand Poisons Forest.
All the animals weighing over two pounds were eaten by the Poison Lady.
The Demon Hunting List is very detailed; it's a mystery how those humans obtained this information.
After sending the four old women away, the Prince Kidney Deficiency went inside with Xu Long.
After walking along the path for two or three miles, Xu Long saw a small house.
It's not very big, occupying less than 400 square meters.
Although located in the mountains and forests, it still retains a touch of everyday life.
"According to the information on the Demon Hunting List, this should be the place."
The Prince Kidney Deficiency looked at the small house in front of him with a very serious expression.
Clearly, he believed that the Poison Lady was not easy to deal with, and even with his strength, he might be caught off guard and suffer a setback.
Let's go.
Xu Long took the lead and knocked on the door.
Knock knock knock!
The voice was very muffled, carrying a hint of coldness and desolation.
Xu Long sniffed; a faint, sweet, fishy smell filled the air, almost indistinguishable unless you smelled it carefully.
This is a chronic toxin; its effects are currently unknown, but it's certainly not a kidney tonic.
Who is it?
There was a knock on the door, and soon a gentle woman's voice came from inside.
