Chapter 21: The Scripture of Myriad Poisons!
"The Myriad Poison Scripture..."
Studying the scroll in his hand, Gu He carefully flipped through it. This was a scripture dedicated to concocting poisons.
It seemed that the owner of this cave's treasure was likely a poison master.
"Teacher, what are you looking at?" At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian approached Gu He's side, curious about the colourful scroll in his hand.
Turning towards her, Gu He hesitated for a moment before smiling, "This is a scripture that teaches how to concoct poisons."
"A poison scripture?" Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes lit up, and she curiously looked at
the colorful scroll in Gu He's hand. "Teacher, can I take a look at this poison scripture?"
Gu He smiled faintly and handed the Rainbow Poison Scripture to Xiao Yi Xian, saying casually, "This poison scripture is of no use to
me. If you want it, you can have it."
"Thank you, Teacher." Xiao Yi Xian's eyes narrowed with a smile as she happily took the Rainbow Poison Scripture from Gu He's hand.
Gu He chuckled without saying anything.
Just then, a notification sound from the system echoed in his mind.
[Ding, the host has given the Second Disciple, Xiao Yi Xian, the Rainbow Poison Scripture. Congratulations to the host for triggering a ten-thousandfold return, obtaining the Scripture of Myriad Poisons!]
[The Scripture of Myriad Poisons has been delivered to the system space. Please check it, host.]
Hearing the notification in his mind, Gu He was momentarily stunned, and then his brows furrowed slightly.
Can this trigger the system's return mechanism too? Could this Rainbow Poison Scripture also be considered his possession?
To be honest, Gu He had no interest in concocting poisons. This time, triggering the system's return mechanism seemed a bit of a loss.
However, given the circumstances, Gu He had no other choice. Watching Xiao Yi Xian happily peruse the Rainbow Poison Scripture, Gu He shook his head and proceeded to open another treasure chest.
As Gu He's voice trailed off, the tightly closed stone box slowly opened.
Illuminated by the moonlight stones within the chamber, the contents of the box were revealed under Gu He's gaze.
"Another scroll?" Observing a black scroll placed within the box, Gu He's eyebrows arched.
Reaching out, he retrieved the black scroll from the box and carefully examined it, his gaze finally stopping at the small text on
the side: "High-grade Profound Tier Flight Martial Technique: Wing of the Eagle?"
Seeing Gu He open another chest, Xiao Yi Xian immediately approached with curiosity, looking at the scroll and asking,
"Teacher, what's this one?"
Gu He explained with a faint smile, "This is a flight martial technique."
"Flight martial technique? What's that?" Hearing the name for the first time, Xiao Yi Xian blinked in confusion.
While she had heard of attack techniques, defense techniques, agility techniques, and more, this was the first time she encountered the term "flight martial technique."
"Exactly as the name suggests—this technique enables a person to fly in the sky," Gu He explained further.
"Flight? Isn't that a talent usually possessed by at least Dou Spirit level experts?" Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian was first surprised and then thoroughly puzzled.
On the continent of Dou Qi, in order to fly above the ground, only Dou Spirit or higher-level practitioners could manage short-distance flights.
Once their strength reached the Dou King or Dou Emperor level, they could utilize external Dou Qi to condense energy wings
behind them, allowing them to break free from the constraints of the earth and soar into the sky.
This so-called flight martial technique was quite an enigmatic secret art. It allowed cultivators to extend two small veins within the meridians of their back.
As long as these two veins extended, even if the cultivator's personal strength didn't reach the Dou King level, they could still condense wings and fly through the air.
The flight was a temptation that could stir many hearts. Many experts relentlessly pursued the seemingly unattainable Dou King level, striving for the allure of flight.
In such circumstances, a shortcut like a flight martial technique held great value. "How about it, do you like it?" Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's curious expression, Gu He smiled faintly, then handed her the flight martialtechnique, saying, "Since you like it, I'll give it to you. Consider it the third gift your teacher is giving you."
"Really?!" Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian was momentarily stunned, and then her face lit up with excitement.
From childhood, what she had envied most were the birds soaring freely through the sky.
Now, this scroll of flight martial technique would grant her the ability to fly as well. How could she not be overjoyed?
"Just a scroll of flight martial technique, and you're so happy?" Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's enthusiasm, Gu He ruffled her hair and chuckled, saying, "Train well, and in the future, you'll have the ability to fly on your own."
"Yes, Master." Xiao Yi Xian nodded eagerly, her thoughts entirely focused on the flight martial technique in her hands.
Gu He smiled and then proceeded to open the final treasure chest. Inside the last chest was, once again, a scroll.
Upon opening it, Gu He discovered that it was a high-grade Profound Tier martial technique. |Roar of the Wild Lion.|
Turning the scroll in his hand, Gu He found it uninteresting and casually stored it in his spatial ring.
Then, scanning the cave without finding anything else, Gu He turned to Xiao Yi Xian and said, "Disciple, let's go."
"Go? Oh... okay, wait for me..." Xiao Yi Xian was momentarily surprised, then tucked the two scrolls under her arm and hurried
towards the flowerbed.
Soon, she returned holding a dozen jade bottles, a delighted smile on her face. "Master, let's go."
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian cradling a pile of items and clutching two scrolls under her arm, a wry smile tugged at the corner of Gu He's
mouth.
Then, with a resigned smile, he pulled out a spatial ring and handed it to her. "You're so busy and chaotic. Here, use this ring to store all these things."
"This is... a spatial ring?" Seeing the ring in Gu He's hand, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes brightened, and she excitedly took the ring from him.
A spatial ring was a valuable item on the Dou Qi continent.
Even many Dou Grandmaster level individuals might not possess one. "Wow, such a spacious interior!" Xiao Yi Xian's consciousness
entered the spatial ring and she exclaimed in astonishment.
The spatial ring Gu He gave her was naturally not ordinary. As a matter of fact, given his status as an Alchemist King, he wouldn't carry ordinary items.
Then, with a thought, Xiao Yi Xian stored everything she had on her person in the spatial ring.
"So fascinating... This is so much fun!" With an excited expression on her face, Xiao Yi Xian played with the items inside the ring, taking them out and putting them back in, finding it novel.
...
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian enjoying herself like a child, Gu He's mouth twitched. He interrupted, "Alright, disciple, we should leave now."
"Oh..." Xiao Yi Xian finally stopped, then followed Gu He out of the cave.
