Chapter 677: Deciding To Enter The Lake (2/2)

Mo Wuji’s gaze swept across the crowd, before he suddenly spoke, ”Immortal Friend Leng, there’s so many people surrounding the lake, can you ensure my safety after I come out?”

Immediately, Leng Yulin responded, ”Immortal Friend Lin Fan, rest assured, I will make sure you are safe. As for how I do it, please don’t ask.”

Nodding his head, Mo Wuji gestured, ”Give me the antidote pill.”

A jade bottle was passed to him, and Leng Yulin added on, ”Remember, this pill must be consumed quickly after it leaves the bottle, otherwise its effectiveness will drop significantly.”

For the unique characteristics of Heart Questioning Pill, Mo Wuji knew much more than Leng Yulin. This pill indeed had to be consumed as soon as possible after being taken out.

As he used his spiritual will to scan through one last time, Mo Wuji confirmed that it was still a Heart Questioning Pill in the jade bottle. He poured the pill out, but got a shock when it landed in his hand.

A Tier 7 Heart Questioning Pill was clearly just in the bottle, but after he tilted the bottle, it had turned into a Tier 4 Cleansing Pill. This Cleansing Pill seemed to have been processed to possess an identical appearance and aura as a Heart Questioning Pill.

Whether the Tier 7 Heart Questioning Pill could counter the liquid poison in the Lake of Poison, Mo Wuji was still unsure, but he was confident that this Tier 4 Cleansing Pill would not work.

Spreading his spiritual will into the jade bottle, he instantly found out what was going on. There was actually a hidden mechanism in the jade bottle. A transfer array was concealed in the center, so once he tried to pour the pill out, the pill in the jade bottle would be transferred away, while another pill would be transferred to take its place.

Mo Wuji was equivalent to a Tier 6 Immortal Array Master, and was locked up in the Immortal Sealing Array for over a year, so what kind of high level array techniques had he not seen before? A mere transfer array, no matter how concealed, would not escape from his eyes.

It was this woman named Leng Yulin that was the most impressive, to be able to perform such a switch in an instant. Under normal circumstances, pills that had been inspected by spiritual will in the bottle would only be checked for a short instant before being consumed. However, she probably did not expect that Mo Wuji was a Tier 8 Pill Emperor, so disguised pills were useless in his eyes.

What a pity it was for her to have met him. Not only was Mo Wuji an excellent array master, but also a Tier 8 Pill Emperor, hence there was no use in playing such tricks in front of him.

Surprisingly, Mo Wuji did not expose the ruse. Instead casually popping the Cleansing Pill into his mouth, while using the spiritual will in his spirit storage channel to sent the pill into his Undying World.

Seeing that Mo Wuji had taken the antidote pill, Leng Yulin happily passed a jade slip to Mo Wuji, ”Look at this.”

After receiving the slip, he looked at Leng Yulin with a puzzled expression.There was a map on the jade slip, but it was completely different from the one that she had shown him previously

Apologetically, Leng Yulin explained, ”Immortal Friend Fan Lin, because it was the first time that we met, I withheld some things from you. The map I gave you previously was a fake, while this one is real. There’s a gap in this jade slip, and I recommend that you place your rings in there for the time being, as the Lake of Poison not only corrodes a cultivator’s flesh and primordial spirit, but also various kinds of immortal equipment. This jade slip was made from special materials, so it won’t be corroded.”

As Mo Wuji let his spiritual will seep him, indeed he saw a gap. But there was a similar transfer array concealed at the side, so once he place something in there, it would be transferred away.

What a cunning woman. Not only did she want him to throw away his life, but she also wanted his ring, and whatever he got from the Lake of Poison. No matter how strong the poison was, he would not let it seep into his rings, much less dissolve them.

Mo Wuji then smiled as he replied, ”No wonder Immortal Friend Leng isn’t afraid that I take everything for myself, since there’s such a measure in place.”

Leng Yulin stared at Mo Wuji with a pair of apologetic eyes, while flirtatiously smiling, ”Immortal Friend Fan Lin please don’t be offended, after all we’re partners. Once you come out, I will open up the gap in this jade slip.”

”Ok, no problem with that.” After Mo Wuji finished speaking, he took the jade slip, and went to the side of the Lake of Poison.

There was a thin layer of mist at the surface of the lake, which was no different from an ordinary lake.

”Go in, go in!” Seeing Mo Wuji stand at the side, the onlookers started to edge him on.

”You can’t go in, the water of this lake is extremely toxic. Even if you have antidote pills, you can’t counter it.” A crisp voice sounded out from afar.

When he looked up, Mo Wuji realised that he knew the owner of the voice. It was the beautiful girl that he rescued. An old Immortal King stood by her side. This girl was not very street smart, and she was the only one that was willing to point out that the lake was very poisonous, so no one should enter, despite everyone being aware of the fact. On the other hand, the rest of the crowd not only kept their mouths shut, but also hoped that Mo Wuji would jump in sooner.

Leng Yulin sighed, ”The antidote pill is only effective for a limited period of time, so I recommend that you jump in sooner. Otherwise once the pill loses effect, it wouldn’t be good.”

However, Mo Wuji didn’t bother with Leng Yulin anymore. His spiritual will tried to enter the lake, but couldn’t penetrate it as expected. The only thing his spiritual will could see was a blurry scene.

Without hesitation, Mo Wuji dove headfirst into the Lake of Poison. Since spiritual will was useless in the lake, he obviously couldn’t part the lake’s ‘water’ either.
