Chapter 292: Midair Shrine

The two men stopped a far distance away from the poisonous clouds as Ming Dong stared at with a serious expression, “The summons is coming from this direction, but with this poisonous cloud blocking our path, we’ll be unable to enter. Although I have some detoxification pills, I’m not sure it would work here.

Jian Chen had a meaningful smile on his face as he patted Ming Dong’s shoulders, “Don’t worry, these mere clouds won’t be able to harm me, I’ll be right back.”

“Then if you would please try one of these.” With that, Ming Dong took out a small bottle and took out a small medicinal pill from within before handing it over to Jian Chen.

Declining the pill, Jian Chen said, “I don’t need this, the poison won’t be able to harm me.”

Ming Dong doubted that Jian Chen had no fear of poison, but he knew it must be one of Jian Chen’s secrets, so he didn’t ask any more questions. With no more words being said, he followed Jian Chen within the mountain range.

Twenty meters within the poisonous smog, Ming Dong’s face suddenly changed color before immediately puking out a stream of blood.

Immediately running back, he took out a white jade bottle from within his Space Belt and took out a black colored pill. Without a moment’s hesitation, he tossed it into his mouth and swallowed.

After swallowing the pill, Ming Dong’s face grew to a better shade of color before looking at the poisonous fog with a serious look, “This poison is too strong. The deeper we go, the stronger it gets! I’ve already used my best detoxification pill, but even then I’m afraid it won’t protect me for more than fifty meters. We’re unable to enter this place then.”

Jian Chen brought out a water canteen from his Space Belt silently. Cutting into his wrists, he began to drip the blood down into the canteen.

“Jian Chen, just what in heaven’s name are you doing?” Ming Dong cried out in shock as he watched Jian Chen’s movement.

Jian Chen wrapped up his wrist with a simple bandage and herbs before handing the canteen to Ming Dong, “My blood is the best panacea for poisons, drink it.”

An incredulous look greeted Ming Dong’s face as he spoke, “What did you say, is my hearing going bad? Your blood is the best panacea, just how could that be?” Ming Dong’s face was almost as shocked as if he just discovered a new world.

Seeing the shock on Ming Dong’s face, Jian Chen revealed a smile, “I’ve long since accomplished the Thousand Immunity, there are very few poisons in this world that can injure me now.”

“Thousand Immunity? Was there such a thing in this world?” Ming Dong stared blankly with some doubt, clearly he had never heard of such a thing.

“Drink it, that way we’ll be able to walk on through this poisonous mist.” Jian Chen spoke without explanation.

“Fine then, let’s see just how effective this blood of yours is.” Ming Dong took the canteen and drank all of the blood within. As soon as the blood entered his body, a strange energy rippled through the entirety of his body and flushed away the remaining poison within Ming Dong’s body.

Feeling the change within his body, Ming Dong’s face was startled. “Jian Chen, your blood really does have a detoxifying effect. It’s even stronger than the detoxification pills I have! I can guarantee that if you were to sell your blood, then you would be able to make a sky high profit!”

Hearing this, Jian Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Okay, let’s hurry up and move forward!”

After drinking Jian Chen’s blood, the poisonous cloud no longer bothered Ming Dong. Jian Chen followed close behind Ming Dong, the two continued on deeper into the mountain.

The poison grew more and more toxic with each step they took, even their visibility became extremely limited as the cloud grew denser. Even with the toxicity steadily increasing to at least ten times the amount as when they first felt it, it held no effect on the two. This caused Ming Dong to be utterly astounded at just how effective Jian Chen’s blood was.

Following the call, Ming Dong and Jian Chen walked in a linear path toward it. Occasionally, they would come across some poisonous magical beasts, but those were quickly killed by Jian Chen.

After walking for six hours within the poisonous cloud, Jian Chen and Ming Dong finally arrived at an area not affected by the cloud. Right in front of their eyes was a graceful looking valley filled with plenty of verdant grasslands. Compared to the barren wasteland outside, this area was filled with the abundant opportunities of life.

Suddenly, Ming Dong turned grave, “Crap, the call just vanished! I can’t sense it anymore!”

Hearing this, Jian Chen’s heart skipped a beat. This was a good omen for them, taking in the view in front of them, he began to think, “Let’s search the area, I’m sure the call is coming from this place.”

After thinking for a moment, Ming Dong said, “Okay, let’s look for now and see if anything can be found.”
