The Immortal’s Poison Chapter 271

Chapter 271 - The Seventh Day

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The evil spirit gas, Poison of Yin, which should have gushed out of the Mourning Cauldron, was completely absorbed by the Poison of Life and Death. In the end, Ning Jiao’s sting returned to Wen Leyang’s body, the Bony Ning Jiao, which had taken the form of a dragon also turned invisible. Only Wen Leyang was left, lying silently within the Mourning Cauldron.

Under the Faulty Punch’s urgings, the Poison of Life and Death was slowly remolding his blood and flesh…

Shortly after, the evil cave quieted down again. The little darling’s face was filled with joy. She asked Hanba softly, “The disaster did not happen?”

Hanba did not have many expressions, “The evil spirit gas within the evil cave could not gush forth, that calamity… shouldn’t be happening anymore.” After he finished, he brought Xiaowu along and guided the seven hundred and seventy-seven zombies back to the crypt with a spell. After they were done with their business, the ugly man Qin Zhui, who had fainted out of anger, also regained his senses. He ran in circles around the silent Mourning Cauldron. He was eager to jump in and fish Wen Leyang out.

The little darling hastily pulled him away, “The Mourning Cauldron is a Prohibition left behind by Grand Master Mi Xu. Even daddy and I are not brave enough to touch it. You might not only hurt yourself, you might even release the evil cave back into the world.”

Qin Zhui was naturally dissatisfied. Now, there was a living person lying inside the Mourning Cauldron.

Nineteen looked at Qin Zhui with a bitter smile, “Wen Leyang’s method of practice is unique. Don’t you even think of touching him? He might not just poison you to death, you might also kill him!”

Only upon hearing that, Qin Zhui was willing to give up. He ran back and looked after the badly wounded golden monkey.

Hanba’s gaze swept across the faces of the exhausted Chang Li, unconscious Cone Nail and the golden monkey, who had his eyes half-closed. He did not understand why did these peerless demon immortals, who have already seen through life and death, cried and strained themselves, laughed and shouted for this young lad of the Wen family.

Everyone were old demons, they did not have to say much before they knew what the other was thinking about. The golden monkey opened his eyes strenuously, “On Goddess Peak, if it wasn’t for this young lad, we would’ve all been killed by the big-mustached man; in Mount Hua’s Ending Cave, I would’ve died in Gou Mang the devil fetus’ hands; under the mandala seal in the highlands, if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have gotten out. Now that I think about it, he has saved me three times already. Seeing that he’s not dead, of course, I must laugh.”

Cone Nail was still out cold, naturally, she would not be speaking. However, when Wen Leyang was just thrown into the Mourning Cauldron, she had already fully explained herself.

Chang Li simply waved her hand. She was too lazy to answer Hanba.

Ever since Wen Leyang was born, he had encountered countless dangerous situations. Especially after the Five Blessings gathered on Nine Peaks Mountain, Wen Leyang’s life or death situations had always been connected to Chang Li. Chang Li had only given Wen Leyang a bowl of water but Wen Leyang had given Chang Li a mouthful of blood.

Chang Li always had an extreme nature. She liked what she liked. Even if Wen Leyang did not do anything, she would still like this silly young lad, who was sometimes sillier than Tuo Xie. After all, Wen Leyang had truly put his life on the line for her.

Chang Li saw that Hanba’s face was still riddled with puzzlement, she said with annoyance, “Just pretend that the one who fell into the cauldron was Xiaowu, then you’ll understand!”

Hanba immediately bulged his eyes, if she was not his own relative, he would have thrown Chang Li into the Mourning Cauldron.

Actually, everything aside, since the appearance of the big-mustached man, the series of gruesome fights and fleeing had overlapped between despair and hope. The ones who were involved had long tied their lives together. They laughed for being alive, cried for a death, everything was simple.

The little darling Xiaowu had long been familiar with Chang Li. She was indifferent. She chuckled from the side and diverted the topic, “When will Wen Leyang wake up again?”

Chang Li shook his head and smiled bitterly, “First, let’s patch everyone up!” This time, the few peerless demon immortals were all badly wounded. Fifth Brother Hanba’s wounds have not healed completely. If he wished to be completely healed, he would need decades or even centuries. If his bones were broken, he would be healed in no time, but his demonic primordial energy was almost depleted, his primordial spirit was also greatly shaken. If he wanted to re-cultivate, it was not something that could be done in a fortnight.

Chang Li nodded at Hanba again with a smile, “I’ll have to trouble you to protect us!” Then, she closed her eyes and focused. She did not say anything else.

Hanba grunted unhappily but he did not return to the crypt. Instead, he sat down not far from them…

After a long time, Wen Leyang woke up. The moon and stars were pale in the sky, his surroundings were cold and hard. Wen Leyang frowned with slight confusion. However, after a brief moment, his confusion was shattered by a huge surprise. The Poison of Life and Death flowed rapidly. Among his flesh, blood, limbs and bones, they were enshrouded in plentiful energy. He had never thought about this even in his dreams.

Wen Leyang scrutinized his resting place. Judging by the shape, he honestly could not distinguish if this Mourning Cauldron was a plus-sized coffin or a giant trash can. Then, his body shook slightly. Like a moving corpse, he stood up straight. After being stunned momentarily, Wen Leyang also chuckled. He found this way of waking up funny.

It was the middle of the night, the stars and the moon did not shine. Within the Mourning Cauldron on the Yin mountain eye. Suddenly, a chuckling silly laugh rang. The people outside, whether they were resting or meditating, all of them quickly opened their eyes. Chang Li cheered and jumped to her feet. She shouted at the Mourning Cauldron, “Come out!”

Wen Leyang heard Chang Li’s voice. He was overjoyed and leaped out of the Mourning Cauldron. The feeling of storing energy was unlike before. It seemed to happen with a thought, the strength within his body had a natural reflex. He did not have to do anything intentionally. When he leaped, Wen Leyang felt that as long as he was willing, he could even pluck a cloud or two with this one leap.

Fifth Brother Hanba still looked like a zombie. Cone Nail had never regained her consciousness since she fainted. The others were all smiles as they quickly went forward and surrounded him. They held on to Wen Leyang to talk to him but everyone’s expression changed. Only Qin Zhui quickly let out an extremely happy laugh.

Wen Leyang’s memories were still at the Desert Rebel Mountain’s Golden Horn Peak when he absorbed the Grand Master’s poison and fainted to save Chang Li’s life.

With a sweep of his gaze, not only was everyone here, but there was even the addition of Hanba and Nineteen. In addition to that, his prowess and body had obtained a breakthrough, he was ecstatic and did not know what to say. However, when he saw that everyone’s eyes were filled with fright, he was also stunned. He touched his own face out of instinct.

Before the sensation of his nail touching his face reached his brain, he saw his hand. Wen Leyang was quickly stunned. His hands were covered with dark red scars, he looked like a mutated spiderman.

When he looked at his shoulders and the rest of his body, he could see mottled and gruesome scars everywhere. He took a hit from the big-mustached man on Goddess Peak, his flesh and tendons had been mushed, thousands of slits also appeared when his skin was torn by the huge force. If it was an ordinary person, it was needless to say that he would not have made it due to the great amount of blood loss.

Within the Mourning Cauldron, the energy of the water and wood elements had each remolded his blood vessels and flesh. Nobody cared about his skin, it healed by itself, slowly.

Wen Leyang finally understood why Qin Zhui laughed so happily. The ugly man’s rival was disfigured…

Chang Li turned her face and did not look at him. After a long while, she sneered, “It’s alright even if a man’s ugly.”

Wen Leyang’s heart went cold as he looked at the densely-packed scars on his body and thought about the situation of his face. He could accept being slightly ugly, but nobody could stand their own face being turned into an animal checkerboard.

‘You’ve Got Me’ initially wanted to jump onto Wen Leyang’s body merrily but when it saw his face, it turned around nimbly in mid-air and plunged back into Xiaowu’s chest. If it was not for the connection between bug and master, ‘You’ve Got Me’ might have ordered the giant sword to stab him.

Xiaowu looked at him with heartache. She comforted with a stutter, “Maybe… it would be milder after a few days, right?”

When Qin Zhui heard this, he stopped laughing suddenly. He took great strides up to Wen Leyang and scrutinized his face. After a brief moment, he sighed and pointed at Wen Leyang’s cheekbone, “That earliest scar of his hadn’t even recovered!”

Nineteen was as kind as ever. She shook her head at Wen Leyang, “It’s alright, my family has a formula to get rid of scars. The ingredients and refining process aren’t all that difficult. A little time is all we need. It’ll be ready in a month or two. Once we get out, I’ll ask my family to refine it.” After she finished, she could not help but chuckle.

Chang Li turned and looked at Nineteen. She smiled pointedly, “One Word Palace that established itself with martial skills had such a feminine formula?”

Nineteen stuck out her tongue playfully and said nothing.

Wen Leyang sighed with relief. Then, he turned his gaze towards Cone Nail who was asleep.

Chang Li, Xiaowu, Qin Zhui and the others took turns to relay what had happened to him. Wen Leyang never thought that so much had happened after he fainted. He listened and shuddered with fear. Thank goodness his beloved people, who had gone through hell with him, were unharmed. As Cone Nail fainted because she regained her memories, this was considered a good thing. After Nineteen ordered her family to refine the ‘Scar Removing Medicine’, it would be a situation where all was well.

After he knew about the series of events, Wen Leyang could not wait and went into his stance to try out his newly-improved powers. Fifth Brother Hanba burned with rage. He gave Wen Leyang a good scolding. This was the Yin’s mountain eye, the evil cave, evil spirit gas, corpse figurines… the vilest things under the heavens were all here. If Wen Leyang truly conjured up some magical power, he might just bring about a great disaster on himself.

Chang Li gave Wen Leyang a push, “Pack up your stuff, go and carry Cone Nail on your back! After we’ve seen your magical powers, we’ll make our way back to Nine Peaks Mountain.”

Wen Leyang nodded but did not say anything. Qin Zhui suddenly huddled over and gave Wen Leyang a mysterious smile. He did not speak as well. When the two ugly faces stood next to each other, it made everyone’s hairs stood on end.

When he looked at Chang Li, Nineteen and Xiaowu, although they looked better than Qin Zhui, they all had the same mysterious smile. Wen Leyang was befuddled. Chang Li did not talk nonsense as she waved her arm and shouted orders, “Go go go, we’ll talk once we get out!”

The group of people packed up their things and left the Yin mountain eye. Chang Li’s wound on her leg had already healed, but her demonic powers were not restored, not even ten percent. The golden monkey was no better, Hanba was worse, Cone Nail was unconscious. The monsters, who used to rule the world, had now become the remnants of a rabble army. Although they were not so weak to need each other’s support, they were none the better.

When they exited the col, Chang Li urged Wen Leyang impatiently. Wen Leyang was also itching for action. After he laid Cone Nail down carefully, he took a deep breath. Then, he suddenly disappeared from everyone’s sight. Almost at the same time, he appeared far away. Then, he leaped again and was nowhere to be seen.

Qin Zhui drew a cold breath, “What’s he up to, going off so quickly?”

Nineteen pressed her lips and smile, “It’s his body’s motion!”

Hanba scoffed, “Body motion is not something I’m an expert at. He’s faster than I am.” As he said this, he looked at Chang Li.

Chang Li was a cat demon, her body motion was the fastest and nimblest among the group of demon immortals, “If it comes to moving in the air, he’s not as good as I am, if it was running or leaping, he might just be at my level!” After she finished she shook her head with a smile, “He still does not know how to fly! His method of practice can only make him leap higher and further.”

After a while, Wen Leyang reappeared. He held a young flower of unknown origin in his hand and pushed it into the little darling’s hands with a giggle.

After he tested out his body’s motion, Wen Leyang looked all around him for a moment. The expression on his face was slightly awkward. He was surrounded by mountains and trees. These things could not even take a punch from him before this, let alone after he went in the Mourning Cauldron. It was impossible for him to test out his strength here.

Hanba smiled faintly. He reached into his sack and took out a square metal block the size of a lunchbox. He tossed it to Wen Leyang, “Hit this!”

The other demon immortals were people with an eye for things. The golden monkey looked up at Hanba with a smile, “You have this!?”

This chunk of metal was a strange object, it was called a mountain marrow. Only one mountain marrow could be found at the base of a lofty peak.

Mountain marrows were famous for their flintiness. It was a strange treasure and a trash as it was too hard and could not be refined.

Wen Leyang caught the mountain marrow. He did not ask what it was. He placed it on the ground, then the Poison of Life and Death within his body flowed, he made a stance and gave a fierce punch! There was no sound of breaking the air, nor were there sounds of the clash of fist and rock. Four savage dents appeared quickly on the mountain marrow under the force of his punch!

With a punch, the mountain marrow was dented but it did not even sink into the ground one inch.

Speaking about brute force, the golden monkey, who had a body of utmost metal, assumed authority naturally. He chuckled, “You’re almost the same as I am! If I struck with my full strength, that’s about it.”

Then, Wen Leyang brandished Ning Jiao’s sting and summoned the Bony Ning Jiao, which had taken the form of a dragon, and flaunted them. Amidst the loud howls, Wen Leyang directed the Bony Ning Jiao to tackle the barren mountain far away again and again. Soil and rocks flew everywhere. As it was quite dark, in the vast Qinling Mountains, it really seemed like there was a mad demon who was running amok.

Although the group of demon immortals and corpse immortal were badly wounded, their eyesight was still very sharp. The powers of Bony Ning Jiao were not inferior to the wasteland’s big-mustached evil dragon. Even if Chang Li and the others were at their prime, they could only fight evenly with the Bony Ning Jiao.

After Wen Leyang recalled Bony Ning Jiao and prepared to summon out Ning Jiao’s armor, Chang Li shook her head and stopped him. Ning Jiao’s sting, Bony Ning Jiao and Ning Jiao’s armor was already one entity, whatever strength they obtained was distributed evenly. That meant that how powerful the attacks of Bony Ning Jiao and Ning Jiao’s sting, Ning Jiao’s armor would also have the same level of defense.

Bony Ning Jiao’s power was at the level of a peerless demon immortal. Ning Jiao’s armor could even take a hit from Chang Li when she was in her prime!

Chang Li explained to Wen Leyang. After he understood the concept, Wen Leyang was bug-eyed.

Not considering the other magic weapons and trinkets, speaking solely about Wen Leyang’s own abilities, he was almost at the level of Chang Li, the golden monkey and the others. However, if they truly fought to the death, with the demon immortals’ thousand-year experience of killings, Wen Leyang would most probably lose.

However, Wen Leyang had Ning Jiao’s sting, dragon’s bone, Ning Jiao’s armor, devil fetus rock tower, Guo Huan’s Demon Body Breaking Spell and Molten Metal Fire Bell, which stood proudly behind ‘You’ve Got Me’. Most importantly, Wen Leyang had a body-full of purest and strongest Poison of Life and Death!

After being stunned for a while, Wen Leyang regained his senses. His unsightly ugly face beamed with excitement. He rubbed his palms and smiled with all his might. After a long while, he suddenly thought about another matter, “After the Poison of Yin inside the evil cave harmonized the poisons of the water and wood elements, there was still a lot of poison left and it was all absorbed by the Poison of Life and Death.”

The Poison of Life and Death absorbed all the utmost poison in the world. Naturally, the Poison of Yin was not excluded.

Qin Zhui was stunned, “What do you mean?”

Chang Li laughed, “He means that after he absorbed the utmost Poison of Fire, the Poison of Life and Death would blend immediately and modify his body again!”

The golden monkey broke into laughter, “This method of practice is very interesting…” He had not finished when suddenly a flurry of footsteps echoed from afar. After being stunned for a moment, Wen Leyang suddenly cheered.

Chang Li said from the side, “When you were still unconscious inside the Mourning Cauldron, Qin Zhui had already sent word back to Nine Peaks Mountain!”

His family members had already reached the Qinling Mountains. However, the foul air on the Yin mountain was thick and Hanba did not like living people. The three families of Wen, Miao and Luo, had waited outside since they arrived. When they heard the commotion made by Bony Ning Jiao, they immediately rushed over. Wen Leyang was surprised and happy to see his kin, but Wen Leyang’s kinsmen were all shocked when they saw him. First Uncle Wen Tunhai drew a cold breath, he was momentarily dumbfounded.

The wounds of the Bushuo and Buzuo brothers from Goddess Peak had not completely healed yet, but the brothers were close to Wen Leyang, they would not go back home no matter what. They waited outside with First Uncle and the others. When Wen Buzuo saw the scars on Wen Leyang’s face, he stomped his feet anxiously but he could not conceal his villainous smile, which he was born with, no matter how sorrowful he felt, “Why do you have to be disfigured, now of all times…”

After Wen Leyang woke up, his powers increased while the demon immortals were badly wounded. He was very impetuous and was unable to ponder upon every little thing. When he heard Wen Buzuo’s words, he could not help but be stunned. He pointed at the young flower on the little darling’s head, which he had just plucked.

Qin Zhui guffawed as if he got his sweet revenge. He walked up to Wen Leyang again, “Try and guess what day is the tenth day of the fourth month?”

Although Qin Zhui spoke with ill intentions, Wen Leyang still grabbed hold of him, “Which day?”

“It’s three days from now!”

After being out cold for more than two months, when he woke up, he was only three days away from his wedding. Wen Leyang’s heart raced, his mind was a mess. He just woke up and he was supposed to get married already…

Wen Buzuo saw that he started to act silly and space out, he jumped over and said anxiously, “Young lad, don’t just stand there, get off the mountain quickly! There’s a car waiting outside, we can make it if there’s no jam!”

Nineteen pressed her lips into a smile, “There’s no need to worry even if there’s a traffic jam, he can run faster than a car now.”

Nineteen’s words were not funny but Wen Tunhai broke into laughter. His voice was filled with joy. The battle of Goddess Peak, whether it was the Mountain Sect, World Sect, rogue cultivators, Tuo Xie disciples or the peerless demon immortals, everyone was in a mess. However, in the end, victory was theirs! Now, Wen Leyang’s Art of Poison had some breakthrough, the great auspicious day was upon them, First Uncle was so happy that he could fly. He laughed as he bowed towards the crowd, who just came out of the col, “I invite the seniors and brothers to attend the ceremony on the mountain!”

The others would have gone even without the invitation, only Fifth Brother Hanba folded his hands behind his back and said nothing. Xiaowu pulled on Hanba’s hands pitiably and pleaded for him to go up to Nine Peaks Mountain together. When Hanba shook his head, Wen Leyang strode up to him and gave him a grand salute from a junior and he stuttered. He intended to say something flashy and elegant to invite Hanba to go and attend the ceremony but he did not know how to say it. He pondered for half a day and finally said, “Please go as well…”

Chang Li laughed. She did not talk nonsense, she came over, pulled Hanba and walked out as Xiaowu pushed Hanba’s buttocks from behind. Fifth Brother coughed and shook his head with half a smile, “Let go, I can walk myself!”

The group of people went up the mountain at rocket speed. Qin Zhui ran as he asked Nineteen softly with an anxious whisper, “We… You’re… only going to attend the ceremony, right?” Judging by the situation, if Nineteen shook her head, Qin Zhui would have snatched her up and ran away.

Nineteen stared at him with a smile…

After they exited the mountain, they saw the cars arranged for them by First Uncle. Wen Leyang found a rear-view mirror, looked at his own reflection and lost all intentions to go back home and get married.

The cars sped off towards Nine Peaks Mountain. On the road, Wen Leyang could not help but ponder about the big-mustached man’s origins, Grand Master Tuo Xie’s whereabouts and the others.

Chang Li shook her head, “There’s no need to think too much. Once the big-mustached man is dead, not many clues are left. As for Cone Nail…” As she said this, Chang Li lowered her head and looked at Cone Nail, who had never woken up for two months and was leaning on her chest, “If she could remember her past life, maybe she’ll know what had happened back then.”

The golden monkey gave half a hoarse grunt, “What descendants of the Heaven’s cone nails, what big-mustached man’s split body, we’ve cleared away all the small fry. If the immortal master teacher wanted to capture the cat demon, he must come himself!”

Wen Buzuo looked back from the front seat and said to them, “We couldn’t find Wen Shulin’s whereabouts. Also, Kunlun Sect’s little supreme leader Liu Zheng also went missing after he urged the sword formation to attack the Landhoppers. He didn’t return to the highlands, nor did he contact Nine Peaks Mountain.”

Wen Leyang sighed, “When we were chased by the big-mustached man’s Sword’s Resolve into Desert Rebel Mountain, the white-robes who saved us…”

At this moment, Chang Li suddenly gave a strange laugh, “there’s no need to think about so much. Let’s go home for the wedding first! We’ll come up with some way to find that immortal master teacher!”

Wen Leyang nodded. He asked about the wounds of the few demon immortals. However, this time, it was not only Chang Li, even the golden monkey ignored him. Everyone looked gloomy. The immortal master teacher had already made his move, but the demon immortals were badly wounded. From the looks of things, if they fought again in the future, they could only count on Wen Leyang to be their vanguard…

When First Uncle entered an area with cellphone reception, he sent word about Wen Leyang rushing back home to Nine Peaks Mountain. Ever since his family members knew that Wen Leyang was having his body remolded by the Poison of Life and Death, his life was not in danger and his prowess had a breakthrough, they felt slightly uneasy amidst their comfort. They were worried that Wen Leyang might not make the auspicious date again.

Although the Wen family had made all the necessary preparations for the wedding, they did not prepare anything grand. Now, they were finally at ease. First Grandmother Wen gave the order, Nine Peaks Mountain was decorated with lanterns and streamers. Wen family’s great aunts and old grandaunts immediately worked their magic. All hell broke loose.

Grand Elder Wen gathered all the abled and experienced disciples. He said with exasperation, “Quick quick quick, spread the word. The tenth day of the fourth month, Wen Leyang’s getting married!” After he finished, he paused and added, “Grand Master Chang Li herself will be the host of the wedding. We must make sure that word of this reaches the ears of every sect!”

Getting married on the tenth day of the fourth month, Wen Leyang woke up on the night of the seventh day of the fourth month. Not only did he sunk the Wen family into a mess, he drove the cultivation world crazy. There was no need to mention a close acquaintance like Great Mercy Temple, the other sects dared not slack off. Wen Bucao had shown their extraordinary capabilities, their powers looked down proudly on the world. Everyone must give face!
