Chapter 311: A Big Surprise

Xue Ying impatiently said, “It doesn’t necessarily have to be an antidote. Any method is fine as long as it can cure the poison. I’ll even be fine with a poison inhibitor.”
Xi Wei shook her head. “A poison inhibitor? Aren’t you currently using Hundred Bitter Restoration? That already can be considered the most suitable inhibitor for the poison.”
“Does your Crimson Rock Mountain not have any method to weaken the Six Ghosts Resentment?” Xue Ying pressed on.
He knew there would be value limit on the prize given to the Transcendents who passed the basic trials. For example, chances to watch the Creation of Heaven and Earth or to cultivate inside the Cultivation Eden were usually incredibly hard to come by, since not even tens or hundreds of Deity treasures could buy one an opportunity. But the Creation of Heaven and Earth was recorded inside Crimson Rock Mountain, and they would not lose anything just by letting outsiders watch it. It was the same for the Cultivation Eden, as they would not suffer any losses upon letting others to cultivate inside. That was why they didn’t mind giving them these opportunities.
Xue Ying was sure that Crimson Rock Mountain must have some method to cure the weakened version of Six Ghosts Resentment he was afflicted with. After all, Crimson Rock Mountain represented a World Deity.
“Of course there are methods to cure the poison outside of using an antidote,” Senior Xi Wei continued explaining, “but the other methods are even more valuable than the antidote.”
“I… I…” Xue Ying was speechless. “Is there really no way for me?” Xue Ying inquired one last time.
“No.” This single word silenced Xue Ying.
In truth, Xue Ying was prepared for this kind of result. Before, when he chatted with Chen Jiu about the reward for passing Meteor Bridge, they had only discussed about a ‘hope to get an antidote’. There was merely hope and not any certainty of getting it. It was just that, deep in their hearts, they saw Crimson Rock Mountain as mysterious and omnipotent. It definitely could cure a poison like the Six Ghosts Resentment. But reality begged to differ. It wasn’t that easy to cure a terrifying hexing poison from the Deity world, even if it was a weakened version.
Looks like I need to try the other plan, thought Xue Ying.
Why was it that he wanted to join a group to enter Crimson Rock Mountain? It was because he worried that he might not be able to cure the hexing poison even after he passed the Meteor Bridge.
He had several plans in his mind when he decided to enter Crimson Rock Mountain. The first and the easiest one was to pass the basic trials and cure the poison. He would then get to practice and break through into the stage three realm before trying to pass the Sky-Reaching Vine. He would face some danger on the first vine leaf of the Sky-Reaching Vine in hopes of getting some additional treasures.
The Sky-Reaching Vine had five leaves in total, each bigger than a meteor and containing numerous dangers as well as a chance of fortuitous harvest! The Black Wind Ancestor had also gotten his Deity World soldiers and corpses of Deity World biological creatures there. It was later on that he encountered danger and was forced to break his talisman in order to leave Crimson Rock Mountain.
The talisman…was something Senior Xi Wei gave to everyone who passed the basic trials, right before they attempted to traverse the Sky-Reaching Vine.
The Sky-Reaching Vine was very dangerous, as the higher one went, the more dangerous it would become for them. Even people like the Meishan Clan Master and Chen Jiu wouldn’t be certain of success. But even if they met danger, they could still give up and use the talisman so as to at least leave with their lives. Although Crimson Rock Mountain was dangerous, nobody except the crazy would die on the Sky-Reaching Vine.
However, Chen Jiu and the Meishan Clan Master were different. Both of them were ordered by their corresponding World Deity and had already made an oath. They were not allowed to give up and had to obtain the treasures needed by their World Deity no matter what. Otherwise, even if they could safely leave Crimson Rock Mountain, the oath they took would kill them for having failed.
The first and second vine leaves are usually more fortuitous than they are dangerous. Many ancestors from my Xia Clan went onto the first vine leaf to get treasures before leaving, Xue Ying thought.
For the Demigods of the Xia Clan, the hardest part was to pass the basic trials. After all, they could then simply use the talisman to save their lives.
