Li Yan, freshly washed and dressed in black robes, sat cross-legged on a cushion. At that moment, a ball of hazy gray mist appeared in his hand.
This gray ball of mist was precisely formed from the thirty-third pale green thread within his body. Once it appeared outside his body, it took on this appearance.
Perhaps because the thirty-third pale green thread was still very weak, no matter how Li Yan had tried to activate it over the past years, there had been little response.
It simply could not be condensed outside the body like the previous Fragmented Poisons. Once those had been born, they could be gathered externally, tested, and put to use.
While cultivating his techniques, Li Yan had also continued studying this newly born poison within his body, yet he had been unable to condense it outside his body.
This left him with no choice but to observe it continuously through his Divine Sense within his body. Yet no matter how he probed it with his Divine Sense, he could never discern the poison's effects.
Actually, even if he could determine its effects, it would have been useless. A poison that could not be released outside the body could hardly be used to poison himself.
It was not until recently, when his body-refining technique broke through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, that Li Yan was finally able to condense this poison outside his body.
Yet after condensing it, Li Yan had discovered its use through only the simplest tests, which greatly surprised him.
He had thought that since this poison had been so difficult to condense, even after releasing it outside his body, it might prove even more headache-inducing than when he had tested the "illusion poison" before.
But unexpectedly, he obtained the
