Chapter 639: Chapter 639: Qualitative Change in Poison Resistance
The Sea Charm felt a slight stir in her heart.
Silently, she followed the Demon Emperor outside the hall.
Gazing toward the end of the Northland, the Demon Emperor said, “Have you gotten used to the days of being a Demon King?”
The Sea Charm nodded, “Thanks to the favor of the Demon Emperor, it has been relatively smooth.”
With a meaningful tone, the Demon Emperor said, “I've heard many Demon Generals are not convinced of you.”
“Because they all think you reached the Ninth Layer Perfection of Core Formation by luck.”
“You haven't, unlike other Demon Emperors, accomplished any outstanding achievements yet.”
The Sea Charm's charming eyes flickered.
She naturally understood the implicit meaning and quickly knelt with respect, “I ask the Demon Emperor to guide me.”
“I will repay the Demon Emperor's trust with my full devotion.”
That was exactly what the Demon Emperor wanted to hear.
He turned around to gaze at the Sea Charm and said, “Good!”
“I am entrusting you with the task of going to the Northland, giving you a chance to prove yourself.”
“Jiang Fan is of great importance, I need him returned without losing a single finger.”
“Can you achieve this?”
A trace of excitement flashed in the Sea Charm's heart.
She owed Jiang Fan twice.
Now, she finally had the opportunity to repay him.
At an appropriate time, she would let Jiang Fan escape.
On the surface, she said seriously, “I swear to complete the mission at all costs!”
The Demon Emperor nodded in satisfaction.
The reason for assigning the task to the Sea Charm, instead of the Sky-Devouring Tiger or the Demon King Chunni,
Was because, as a new Demon King, she was most eager to achieve merit and recognition.
If Jiang Fan were to be in danger, she would risk her life to protect him.
As for the other Demon Kings, they became old hands over the years of peace.
They wouldn't risk their life for a small achievement.
Moreover, most importantly, the new Demon King would execute orders with absolute obedience.
“And one more thing.”
The Demon Emperor squinted his eyes, “I need his Divinity Transformation Relic Mark.”
“And the 'Brahma Saint True Spirit Technique' he possesses.”
“Find a way to obtain them.”
“Giving him some suffering is not out of the question.”
The Sea Charm had guessed it.
The Demon Emperor had summoned her alone to give additional instructions.
It turned out he had his eyes on the good stuff Jiang Fan had.
And also implied she could torture him.
Without hesitation, the Sea Charm said, “I know what to do.”
Seeing her perceptiveness, the Demon Emperor was quite pleased.
After some thought, he took out a black scale.
“Contained within this scale is my full-powered strike.”
The Sea Charm was taken aback, “The Northland is within our Demon Race territory.”
“What danger could require using this?”
Although she had just recently reached the Ninth Layer Perfection of Core Formation, she still couldn't compare to those who had lingered at that realm for many years.
But it shouldn't require a Nascent Soul Strike, should it?
The Demon Emperor replied indifferently, “That is reserved for you to kill Jiang Fan.”
The Sea Charm's heart trembled, her face changing, “Kill, kill Jiang Fan?”
“Didn't the Demon Emperor just say Jiang Fan should return without losing a single finger?”
The Demon Emperor said blandly, “Jiang Fan is full of tricks and deceits.”
“I fear you might not be able to monitor him.”
“If you truly can't keep an eye on him, then kill him!”
“I will not allow the Human Clan to have such a prodigy.”
As it turns out,
having witnessed Jiang Fan's overwhelming strength crushing Bai Chu,
his desire to kill Jiang Fan had intensified.
Such a person must not be allowed to grow to his potential.
“Therefore, I must see either Jiang Fan or his head.”
“Do you understand?”
The Sea Charm bowed, “I understand.”
Her heart sank lower and lower.
The Demon Emperor had blocked her path to letting Jiang Fan go.
With this scale in play, if Jiang Fan still manages to escape, it would only indicate one thing.
She intentionally let him go.
At that point, it wouldn't just be a matter of failed service.
But she would be accused of treason, implicating the entire Sea Charm clan.
Taking the scale, the Sea Charm left, burdened with heavy thoughts.
While the Demon Emperor returned to the Demon Emperor Palace,
he dispersed the gathered crowd.
“Brother Jiang Fan, let me host, let's gather at the Huicui Building.”
Ling Shu invited warmly.
Today, the Mainland Demon Clan had a grand victory and it must be properly celebrated.
Jiang Fan shook his head, “You all enjoy yourselves.”
“I need to prepare for tomorrow's journey.”
Ling Shu showed a hint of disappointment.
After reconsideration, she realized she would be with Jiang Fan going forward, and she felt relieved.
She just couldn't believe she couldn't win over Jiang Fan's heart!
Humph!
Returning to the Liu Li Palace,
Before Liu Li could throw a fit, Jiang Fan had already flashed back into the secret chamber.
To ensure safety,
he summoned the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain to hold against the stone door.
The forthcoming task was something he didn't wish Liu Li to see.
He cautiously took out the Memory Silver Water.
His breathing quickened.
The main act was here.
Intuition told him this item would definitely prove extremely useful!
Immediately, he closed his eyes, beginning to refine the Memory Silver Sand from the waste water using the methods of a Soul Master.
Just as Han Feidao had mentioned,
as soon as a single grain of silver sand was separated,
a strand of hair-like poison instantly infiltrated Jiang Fan's body.
An intense corrosive pain spread from his pores into his blood vessels.
Wherever the poison traveled, it corroded.
“Hiss!”
Jiang Fan inhaled sharply in pain.
“No wonder that Four-star Soul Master gave up.”
“Even after undergoing True Spirit Blood Body Tempering, I find the pain significant.”
“For ordinary people, being invaded by this poison would cause unconsciousness from just the pain alone.”
“And let alone the fact that the poison would harm the body.”
“What Soul Master would risk their life to refine this thing for someone else?”
Grimacing through the pain, he activated the Poison Pill,
absorbing the wisp of poison that had entered his body.
The origin of the poison was the toxic power used by a Divinity Transformation Realm expert, its potency was evident.
Luckily, having lasted for over a cycle of sixty years,
the toxicity had weakened considerably.
Otherwise, if a Core Formation Realm martial artist came into contact with it, they could instantly dissolve into a puddle of water.
Even so,
after absorbing it, the Poison Pill trembled violently, cracking.
The poison's intensity was such that it seemed even the Poison Pill couldn't withstand it.
Thankfully, as Jiang Fan operated the 'Nine Poison True Scripture', bit by bit refining,
the strand of poison, at last, got absorbed with difficulty.
Then.
Jiang Fan did the same, refining a second grain of silver sand.
Followed by a third, a fourth…
By dawn,
the entire bottle of Memory Silver Water was completely used up.
In contrast, Jiang Fan's hand held a jade box full of silvery white sand.
Thinking for a moment,
Jiang Fan took out the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain.
With a thought, the Memory Silver Sand flowed like a stream, enveloping the mountain.
They seemed to gauge the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain.
A few breaths later,
the Memory Silver Sand flowed to one side, then formed into the outline of the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain.
Next, the sand transformed into corresponding five colors.
Simultaneously, it also emitted threads of Five Elements power.
Jiang Fan watched in amazement.
In terms of appearance, color, and aura, the two were identical.
Even holding it in his hand, the weight felt exactly the same.
Even Jiang Fan, its owner, found it indistinguishable for a moment!
“It's miraculous!”
“No wonder even Divinity Transformation Realm magnates would be deceived.”
Jiang Fan was astonished.
As his thought flickered, the fake Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain dissolved into a cluster of Memory Silver Sand.
“I've hit the jackpot.”
Jiang Fan played with it, deeply enamored.
His mind was already filled with several applications.
Of course.
The harvest wasn't just limited to Memory Silver Sand.
He absorbed the toxins used by a Divinity Transformation expert.
His anti-toxicity capabilities had experienced a qualitative leap.
After some consideration, he took out the Netherworld Poison.
The Netherworld Poison confiscated from Lu Liang was capable of poisoning even Nascent Souls.
After uncapping it, he inhaled slightly.
Though the poison was monstrously potent,
Jiang Fan had a hunch that this couldn't necessarily kill him.
After the tempering from the Divinity Transformation level poison, his anti-toxicity ability was stronger than that of most Nascent Soul Realm individuals!
If that's the case.
Gazing at the Netherworld Poison in front of him revealed a feverish glint in his eyes.
A crazed idea formed in his mind.
