Chapter 94: The Hundred Poisons Demon's Storage Bag
Chapter 94: The Hundred Poisons Demon’s Storage Bag (Bonus Chapter for Average Subscription Tier)
After six hours of painstaking refinement, Xiao Chen finally cracked open the storage bag of the Hundred Poisons Demon.
His first thought was simple—huge.
Compared to his original storage bag, which measured just three feet across, this one stretched six feet in every dimension—eight times the volume. Naturally, it could hold far more treasures.
Xiao Chen swept his spiritual sense through the space, tallying its contents in mere breaths.
First, 3,238 spirit stones.
Then a thick stack of first-tier talismans in various colors, plus two custom-crafted second-tier spirit talismans. These were the Yellow Earth Warrior Talisman and Gale Wind Demon-Slaying Talisman the Hundred Poisons Demon had used before. Checking them, Xiao Chen noted their Spirit Seals still held power for two full months.
He’d heard rumors that after Foundation Building, talisman cultivators’ Spirit Seals could last up to three months—triple the previous duration. Examining the talismans, he realized this was another benefit of liquid mana.
Next came over a hundred spirit herbs with names he didn’t recognize—though “poisonous herbs” was more accurate. Their vivid hues practically screamed toxicity.
Then there were three texts: Treatise of the Hundred Poisons, detailing over a hundred poisons including the Meteor Shower Powder; Commentary on the Treatise of the Hundred Poisons; and New Commentary on the Treatise of the Hundred Poisons, filled with supplementary insights.
“This must be the fabled Poison Dao, one of the esoteric paths,” Xiao Chen mused, flipping through the commentary. To his surprise, it even included ink illustrations to help identify the herbs he’d found.
However, the Treatise of the Hundred Poisons’ cultivation manual only reached Foundation Building Third Layer. Beyond that, nothing. Cultivators would need a new manual or to forge their own path.
He shook his head. “Without a follow-up manual, this path hits a dead end.” Still, he understood—most cultivators would kill just to reach Foundation Building Third Layer in their lifetime.
The rest included vials of potent toxins, two second-tier Gushing Spring Pills for mana recovery, and a second-tier Cyan Frost Pill to aid cultivation.
Three treasures stood out:
1. A leather scroll titled Luotian Seven Poisons Secret Scroll—another demonic technique from the Luotian Sect.
2. A full jin of Blazing Light Spirit Sand. This rare substance temporarily enhanced a cultivator’s fire mana control, making fire techniques feel as natural as moving one’s limbs. A single tael could save a year of cultivation—this much could push Xiao Chen’s three fire techniques to Grand Mastery with room to spare.
3. The second-tier fire technique Blazing Crimson Clouds Across the Sky, collected by the Hundred Poisons Demon.
“Was he planning to switch to fire techniques?” Xiao Chen wondered. Given Li Zhou’s proximity to volcanic ranges, fire-related treasures were common.
Flipping through Blazing Crimson Clouds Across the Sky, he noted its four stages: Novice, Minor Mastery, Mastery, Grand Mastery.
“Does this extra stage define second-tier techniques, or is this manual simply superior?”
Organizing his loot, Xiao Chen dove into cultivating Blazing Crimson Clouds Across the Sky. Surprisingly, its practice felt more like a Water Attribute Spell. Practitioners first condensed crimson, cloud-like “Yan Xia” (Blazing Clouds) from fire mana, each hiding varying numbers of “Scarlet Yan Light” traps—mobile, fire-based snares. A technique favoring hit-and-run combat.
As a Heavenly Path Foundation Building cultivator, his affinity for elemental attributes had skyrocketed. Without hesitation, he swallowed a pinch of Blazing Light Spirit Sand to accelerate progress.
Thanks to the Heavenly Path, Featherweight Class enhancements, and the sand, he formed his first Yan Xia in fifteen minutes. Another fifteen refined a Scarlet Yan Light within it—completing the Novice stage in just half an hour.
Then came a revelation: the Yan Xia blocked spiritual sense scans unless marked during cultivation. Even his own senses couldn’t pierce them afterward.
“If a scan revealed hidden traps, no one would fall for them,” he chuckled. “But this means the technique doubles as stealth.”
He imagined hiding within a Yan Xia during a duel, forcing enemies to guess his location. “Still, three Yan Xia at Novice is too few.”
Oddly, Featherweight Class hadn’t increased Yan Xia quantity—only boosting Scarlet Yan Light potency.
“Not ideal. Imagine summoning a sky-wide blaze!” He sighed. “But looks matter for life, not just power.”
Thankfully, each breakthrough tripled Yan Xia count: 9 at Minor Mastery, 27 at Mastery, and a staggering 81 at Grand Mastery. The thought reignited his determination.
Swallowing another pinch of Blazing Light Spirit Sand, he resumed cultivation.
Meanwhile, Liu Zhiyuan warmly hosted Xiao Chen at the Liu Clan for days, arranging six gourmet meals daily—each with eight unique dishes, served by a different maiden every time. The chefs seemed to compete, turning meals into culinary spectacles.
By the sixth day, Xiao Chen reached Minor Mastery. He savored a celebratory feast, then departed for Lihuo Sect under the Liu Clan’s farewell bows.
