Chapter 2301 Picking Out Poisons


    The group soon oriented themselves and moved towards the Offering Hall.


    "Looks like this ce didn''t really change." Crown Prince Feng Shun was the first to speak.


    "Yeah, with the Death Qi covering this area too, I had thought there would be at least some effects." Daoist Chu spoke. "Though perhaps the arrays here protected it from it."


    "That was expected, after all this is an important ce. I doubt the celestial would have made a mistake like that." Elder Hu stated. Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    "That''s right." Lady Kang replied. "If anything happened to this ce, it would probably break the trial too." She added.


    "We likely would have found out since the Green Bands are technically connected to this ce." Lin Mu said as he stepped in through the door.


    He nced at the murals for a moment, the scenes of the Chimeric Beasts raging across a battlefield against an army of cultivators reappearing in his mind. He could almost feel the fear and despair that the Sacred Tear Demonic Tribe might have felt back then.


    ~huu~


    Taking a deep breath, he shook it off and finally arrived at the final room with all the reward lists.


    "Hmm… what should we start with?" Crown Princess Shang asked.


    "Since you''re versed in herbs, can you pick out the herbs that can be used as poison or corrosives?" Lin Mu asked.


    "Sure." Crown Princess Shang replied, getting to work.


    "I''ll also take a look." Ziran said as he started to read through the lists.


    While they all had the lists, that didn''t mean they knew what each and every object in the list was. There were simply too many things on it, with many being unknown to them too.


    The rest also decided to pick out a few things that might be of immediate use to them. After all, everyone had obtained plenty of points with the Chimeric Beast swarm and the Chimera nt. As such they felt a bit more released in getting the rewards.


    "It would be so convenient if we could transfer our Credits. It would make it a lot easier to get the Immortal Paragon''s Ring." Crown Prince Feng Shun said with a sign.


    They all had the needed three hundred million points, thus they could have obtained it right away if it was possible to pool credits together. "Amithabha, it''ll be fine. As long as we have patience, we''ll obtain all the credits we need." Monk Hushu stated with his palms in a praying gesture.


    "You''re right. No use in hurrying." Crown Prince Feng Shun agreed.


    Lin Mu listened to them while also going through the lists. He looked for the poisons that were rtively unknown, as Xukong could help him tell what they were.


    "How about this Senior?" Lin Mu asked, pointing to an item that cost about fifteen million credits.


    "Great Wart Toad''s Back Pus… Hmm, it is certainly a poison but it''s something that only works on animals. It''s ineffective on nts, and will most certainly not work on the Chimera nt." Xukong denied. "Then, how about the ck Corpse Fly Stinger." Lin Mu picked out another item.


    This was a type of a beast material that Lin Mu guessed contained poison, considering the name. It cost about Twenty three million credits and was higher up on the rankings.


    "That''s a good one, but its poison is one that makes things rot." Xukong replied. "The sap of the Chimera nt was a lot more corrosive than that." "Hmm, I guess not." Lin Mu furrowed his brows as he looked at other poison.


    He went from one item to the other, but most of them turned out to be ineffective for the Chimera nt from what Xukong was telling. With how many things were present in the list here, it was simply impossible to get them all and then test them out manually.


    Thus Lin Mu reckoned, Xukong''s experience about them would be a lot better.


    Hour after hour passed as they continued this.


    It wasn''t until six hourster, that Lin Mu finally reached an item that showed some potential.


    "Wait," Xukong spoke up.


    "Is it something good?" Lin Mu asked looking at the name that they were at. "ck Hex Raven Tear." But when he did, he found it to be rather strange. "This is supposed to be a poison?


    "No, it isn''t a poison." Xukong replied. "But it can have an even better effect." He added.


    "What is it?" Lin Mu was curious. "It looks to be the tears of a beast."


    "It''s the Tears of the ck Hex Raven. It is a Bird beast that is considered as highly ominous. The areas it passes by be tainted with misfortune and people who sight it be unlucky." Xukong exined.


    "That''s a rather peculiar effect. It can change people''s luck?" Lin Mu was surprised.


    He had known of auspicious beasts which were real beings who had the ability to affect fortune and improve it. But this was the first time he wasing across ominous beasts.


    "The ck Hex Raven by itself is quite weak, and can be killed by even a mortal. But killing it is the worst thing one can do, as the beast''s death will curse whoever killed it along with their surroundings, making the area basically unlivable.


    The person who killed it would get incredibly sick and so would be their family members. The livestock in that area would go mad, and the crops would all wither from blight." Xukong exined.


    "How does it do that?" Lin Mu asked. "If it is that weak?" "That''s because the ck Hex Raven is a beast that naturally contains the Dao of Misfortune." Xukong revealed.


    Hearing that Lin Mu was surprised, as he hadn''t expected Misfortune to have a Dao too. And a beast that embodied it on top of it.


    "Do its tears carry the same power?" Lin Mu guessed now.


    "They do." Xukong nodded his head. "The tears curse whatever thing they touch." He stated.
