Chapter 78: Astonishing Wealth

  Fang Chen Zhou Shiwen also noticed the small black flag at the same time. The three of them exchanged a glance, and in an instant, three bursts of murderous aura shot up into the sky!

  Fang Chen's back suddenly conjured up a Blood Demon Yuan Soul, eight tentacles waving wildly, with two of them grasping two witch blades!

  He smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth, slowly and carefully took out a strange fruit, and applied a deadly poison to the blade of the witch soldier!

  At the same time, Zhou Shiwen also unfolded his Wind and Thunder Wings, one hand grasping the Swastika-shaped strange sword, the other hand grasping a broadsword, with fierce light flashing in his eyes!

  They obviously have the same idea as Ye Xu, planning to get rid of the other two and monopolize the treasure!

  "Two gentlemen, greed is the original sin!"

  Ye Xuan shook his head and sighed, slowly drawing out the Ghost Head Knife, saying helplessly: "What's the point? Must we really slaughter each other?"

  "Grandma's, what utter nonsense!"

  Zhou Shiwen sneered: "This black flag must be Wu Bao's! Even if it were my own father, I'd still cut him down with one slash!"

  Fang Chen's mouth curled up in a smile, and he sighed: "Ye Shixiong, the value of Wu Bao is immeasurable. If we obtain one piece of Wu Bao, our Fang family will be equivalent to having an additional top-notch expert at the Three Realms Mixed Yuan period. How can I not be tempted? Those Night Pearls are precious, but after all, they're just external objects with little practical value. I won't compete with you for them. However, this piece of Wu Bao is something that I must contend for!"

  Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said in a low voice: "Actually, I also want to get rid of you guys and swallow all the wealth here alone!"

  Zhou Shiwen licked his lips and smiled: "This Five Poison Cave Mansion space is much larger than the outside, and both Laozi and Xiaobailian's strength can be fully displayed! Shaobao, you are the strongest attacker among the three of us, but our witch soldiers are all coated with deadly poison, maybe you'll be the first to die!"

  Ye Xu furrowed his brow, their witch soldiers were all smeared with deadly poison, and a slight scratch would be fatal.

  Although the defense of Jiuzhuan Yuangong is astonishing, under the joint attack of Zhou Shiwen and Fang Chen, he cannot guarantee that he will not be injured at all!

  If they really take action, those two will definitely deal with him first!

  Fang Chen smiled and said: "After Brother Ye's death, Brother Zhou can also follow him on his way."

  Zhou Shiwen snorted in anger: "You little white face, your strength may be slightly stronger than mine, but my speed is far faster than yours. I can still manage to stab you with a knife!"

  Three people stared at each other with wide eyes, speaking fiercely but none of them dared to make a move.

  They also didn't have a firm grasp on whether they could make it to the end, and perhaps in the end they would still meet with mutual destruction.

  Ye Xu put away his magic sword, and smiled: "Two brothers, before we entered Eagle Gorge, didn't we say that we would unite against a common enemy and cooperate sincerely? Now that we've only explored one quarter of Eagle Gorge, are we going to start killing each other?"

  Zhou Shiwen let out a sigh of relief and put away his magic sword, smiling: "In that case, let's stick to our original agreement. Let's sort out the things here, categorize them, and each take what we need. How does that sound?"

  Fang Chen fell silent, also putting away his magic sword, dispersing the Blood Demon's Primordial Soul Great Technique.

  The three of them were all extraordinary people; once they knew that taking action would not end well for themselves, they immediately gave up on the idea.

  Ye Xue and others cleaned up the Wudu Cave Mansion, putting the wooden tripod, jade bottle, and scriptures together. Only the small black flag still floated above the skull's head, with no one touching it.

  After waiting for three people to finish reading those few volumes of scriptures, they were shocked and their hearts couldn't help but stir up the intention to kill again!

  These few volumes of scriptures are a system, called the "Five Poison Classics", a magical dao technique that is similar to Fang Chen's Blood Demon Yuan Soul Great Technique, combining witchcraft and heart techniques into one body, but its quality far surpasses the Blood Demon Yuan Soul Great Technique, even including refining equipment, refining elixirs and other secrets!

  This technique collects poisonous substances of the Jingguai level, cultivates Gu insects, and embeds one's Yuan Shen within them. After refining the Gu insects into entities similar to Wu Bing or Wu Bao, they can be used to kill people upon activation!

  Cultivating the Five Poisons Scripture doesn't require running around to collect materials and refine witchcraft weapons, because even the lowest-grade Gu insect can compare to a witchcraft weapon!

  If a top-grade Gu insect is cultivated, its power will even surpass that of a Witch Soldier, and it won't be inferior to the Witch's Treasure in any way!

  After killing its opponent, the Gu insect will also absorb the opponent's vital energy and feed it back to its master, thereby enhancing the master's cultivation.

  This is a technique similar to the Blood Demon Great Law, but even more extreme. It requires blood sacrifices of Gu insects and uses the flesh and blood of living beings to enhance one's own cultivation!

  More crucially, the threshold for manipulating Gu is extremely low, even a three-yuan realm witch doctor can drive to kill enemies, attack and even surpass witchcraft.

  The scripture also records three methods of refining equipment, one of which is the black banner floating on top of the skull, called the Hundred Toxins Banner, a witch treasure refined from high-grade poisonous materials.

  The materials and processes for refining are listed in detail. As long as there are enough materials and cultivation, a new Hundred Toxins Flag can be forged step by step!

  Another way of refining equipment is to refine a witch treasure called Shenmu Wangding.

  This witch treasure is a container for cultivating Gu insects. Although it has no power, once activated, it can continuously attract poisonous substances from all directions, automatically jumping into the cauldron, killing each other and evolving into Gu insects. It is an essential item for practicing the Five Poisons Scripture!

  The last method is to refine a defensive-type witch treasure called Tian Can Bao Yi. Wearing the Tian Can Bao Yi on one's body, one has no fear of being invaded by witchcraft or witch treasures. Its defensive power is so strong that it makes people's eyes widen in amazement!

  "Three pieces of witch treasure..."

  Ye Xiang and the other two exchanged a glance, each seeing the shock, surprise, and even more defensiveness in each other's eyes.

  They originally thought that only the black flag was a witch treasure, but they did not expect that the robe worn by the skull, even the unassuming wooden tripod, were also witch treasures!

  Ye Xu had an urge to get rid of Fang Chen and Zhou Shiwen, and monopolize the three magic treasures. Fang Chen and Zhou Shiwen were no exception in their hearts.

  Throughout the entire Liu Zhou, there are no more than ten Wu Bao, all of which are in the hands of the three major Wu Huang aristocratic families, including the one held by Ye Lun, the Zimu Bai Gui Fan.

  And in this Five Poison Caverns, there are three witch treasures that are almost equivalent to the collection of a witch family!

  Even if it were the master of one of the three great families who was here, they would probably also be unable to resist killing someone!

  Fortunately they still have some sanity, otherwise I'm afraid someone would have fallen dead by now.

  As for the part of alchemy in the scriptures, the three of them had originally not taken it to heart, but after flipping through it, they were suddenly moved.

  The alchemy in the Five Poisons Classic is different from others. Ordinary alchemy involves collecting spiritual herbs to refine elixirs, but the text records several alchemical methods that take a different approach, using poisonous substances to refine elixirs, hunting and killing high-level demonic beasts, taking their essence, and using poisonous substances as auxiliaries to refine them into beast transformation elixirs.

  The most peculiar thing about this Beast Transformation Pill is that after the witch takes it, her physical body immediately becomes extremely powerful, transforming into a demonic beast and gaining its abilities!

  The downside of the Beastization Dan is that refining this dan requires corresponding demon beast essences. The stronger the demon beasts hunted, the more powerful the Hundred Beasts Dan will be, and vice versa!

  So, after working hard to gather all the materials, it's possible that the elixir refined will only have the power of a first-grade demonic beast.

  "If I can slaughter a three-realms mixed-yuan period's great demon, refine it into a beast transformation pill, and swallow it down, wouldn't that mean that I, Laozi, would immediately possess the power of the mixed-yuan period?" Zhou Shiwen stroked his big beard, musing to himself.

  Fang Chen coldly smiled and said: "If you have the power to kill a Da Yao of the Hunyuan stage, then this Dan medicine won't be of much use."

  Zhou Shiwen did not refute, Fang Chen's words were unpleasant to hear, but they indeed made a lot of sense.

  Ye Xue opened the jade bottle, and a refreshing fragrance wafted up to his nose. Inside the bottle were three pellets of medicine, each about the size of a longan fruit, rolling around at the bottom as if they were alive.

  He poured the Dan medicine into his palm, and saw that these three Dan medicines were semi-transparent, with different colors and shapes.

  One of the blue pills seems to have water in it, a golden-haired ape is playing in the water, splashing waves.

  This violent ape would occasionally raise its fists and punch the inner wall of the dan furnace, extremely fierce as if it wanted to break out.

  Another pill was crimson, with a fierce flame burning inside, extremely hot to the touch. From time to time, a clear and melodious cry could be heard from the flames, where a crimson bird was flying back and forth.

  This dan medicine flew up from time to time, as if it was about to break through the air and leave.

  The last dan medicine was green, with a strange creature inside. Its back grew bony spines and its forehead grew sharp horns. Its hands and feet were covered in sharp claws, just like a human walking upright in the dan medicine, making it spin around rapidly.

  These three Beast Transformation Pills were jumping and rolling in his hand, completely different from ordinary pills.

  Ye Xue put away the Beast Transformation Dan and said, "The power of three Beast Transformation Dans is still unclear. You and I will each take one. The value of the Five Poisons Classics is enough to rival a witch treasure, along with the Hundred Poison Flag, the Divine Wood King Tripod, and the Heavenly Silkworm Treasure Robe, making up four witch treasures in total. Do you two gentlemen have any objections?"
