Chapter 176: Detoxification, Counting the Harvest, and Resolving Grudges

Jiufeng Ridge, Pagoda Peak.

"How is it? Grand Elder, do you have a way to help the Fire God Jackal detoxify?"

In Zhou Mingde's cave, when he came out of the spirit beast room, Zhou Chun looked at him with concern and asked about the situation of the Fire God Jackal.

At this time, Zhou Chun had not had time to recuperate due to his internal injuries, and he had been rushing all the way, so he had not stayed for a moment except for meditating to recover his magic power. His complexion was not very good.

But he didn't care about this at all. He was only concerned about whether there was any way to save the Vulcan Jackal from the poisoning.

This attitude made Zhou Mingde, who was already angry because his pet was poisoned and injured, finally hold back his words of blame.

He just shook his head slightly and said, "The toxin in it is very strong. I have tried my best to only remove part of the toxin and slightly suppressed the speed of the toxin's spread. If you want to completely eliminate the toxin, you must get help from a Jindan-stage cultivator, or find a high-level detoxifying elixir!"

At this point, he looked at Zhou Chun with a gloomy expression and said, "Now tell me the details of the situation. How did it get poisoned and who hurt it?"

Zhou Chun had just returned to the family and brought the injured and poisoned Fire God Jackal to him.

Because the situation was urgent, he did not have time to ask about the situation and sent the Fire God Jackal to the Spirit Beast Room to treat the poison.

Now that Vulcan Jackal's condition has stabilized a little, he has time to ask about the details.

When Zhou Chun heard what he asked, he did not dare to hide anything and quickly told him the details of his trip to Lingzhou.

After he finished explaining the situation, he said with a look of self-blame: "This is all my fault. If I hadn't been eager for revenge and had taken the initiative to lure Master Jiang here, the Fire God Jackal wouldn't have been poisoned and injured. Please punish me, Grand Elder!"

When Zhou Mingde heard what he said, he became even more annoyed.

According to Zhou Chun, the reason why Vulcan Jackal was injured this time was entirely due to his revenge for a personal vengeance.

But no matter how angry he was, Zhou Chun was a senior member of the Zhou family after all, and a younger generation that he was very optimistic about. Even if he really wanted to punish him, it couldn't be now.

So he suppressed his anger and waved his hand, saying, "Now is not the time to talk about responsibility. Since you have obtained the relics of Master Jiang, bring his storage bag to me. If I can find the remaining poison and know what kind of poison is in the Fire God Jackal, perhaps the antidote will be easy!"

"Yes, the things are here, please have a look, Grand Elder."

Zhou Chun responded, and hurriedly took out the storage bag he picked up from Master Jiang's body and handed it to Zhou Mingde.

He was busy on the way and had no time to open the storage bag to check.

At this time, Zhou Mingde personally took action to erase the imprint of Master Jiang's spiritual consciousness in the storage bag, and his spiritual consciousness sank into it to search.

You wouldn't know until you look for it. Once you look for it, Zhou Mingde is secretly surprised.

Although Master Jiang was only a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, the things in the storage bag were enough to make even a Purple Mansion stage cultivator like him gasp in amazement.

Not to mention the various elixirs refined by Master Jiang himself and the spiritual medicines and objects he collected, there are more than 24,000 spiritual coins alone!

Although he was going to participate in an underground auction, it was normal to carry a large amount of spirit coins with him.

But this is still too much!

However, although he was surprised by the wealth in Master Jiang's storage bag, Zhou Mingde did not forget his intention. He immediately took out those bottles, jars, jade boxes and other items, opened them one by one and checked them.

Finally, he found the remaining venom in a porcelain bottle inside a jade box.

"This seems to be some kind of snake venom!"

Seeing that there was only a tiny bit of gray-purple venom left in the porcelain bottle, Zhou Mingde, with his rich experience, instantly figured out its approximate source.

Then he put the cap on the bottle and said to Zhou Chun, "Go to the library quickly and find all the books in the family that record various snake venoms. Let's look for it together to see what kind of snake venom this is!"

"Yes, junior, I obey."

Zhou Chun responded, turned around and hurriedly left the cave, heading for the Fei Shi Peak Library.

Not long after, he returned to Zhou Mingde's cave with a pile of books.

Then the two of them looked through a number of books together, looking for the source of the snake venom in the bottle.

After a while, Zhou Mingde suddenly said, "I found it. If I'm not mistaken, the Fire God Jackal must have been poisoned by the purple black snake!"

Purple black snake?
Zhou Chun's expression changed, and he quickly remembered the information about this poisonous snake.

If I remember correctly, this is a mid-level monster, but its poison is enough to kill a Purple Mansion cultivator, and it also has a great effect on third-level monsters.

This type of venomous snake can reproduce parthenogenetically, and the female snake can lay eggs even without a suitable mate.

But they will only lay eggs once in their lifetime, and only at the end of their life or before they die.

While he was thinking about the relevant information about the venomous purple black snake, Zhou Mingde had already talked about the method of detoxification.

"If you want to cure the venom of the purple black snake, you must either find a purple-leafed Paris or five-clawed Coptis chinensis that is over 500 years old, or use the detoxifying elixir made from these two spiritual herbs, or ask a Jindan-stage cultivator to use his great magical powers to remove the toxins!"

"I remember that the Sanjue Sect once planted purple-leaved Paris polyphylla. Perhaps the Li family has this kind of elixir and related detoxification pills!"

At this point, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Chun and said, "Didn't you get an 800-year-old red essence ganoderma? With this elixir in hand, the Li family will definitely be willing to exchange it for any detoxifying elixir or elixir."

"That would be best."

Zhou Chun nodded repeatedly, then immediately took out the 800-year-old Red Essence Ganoderma in a jade box from his storage bag, handed it to Zhou Mingde and said, "The 800-year-old Red Essence Ganoderma is here, Grand Elder, take it to the Li family and exchange it for the detoxification pill!"

Seeing him hand over the precious spiritual medicine that he had spent thousands of spiritual coins to buy in exchange for the detoxification pill without hesitation, Zhou Mingde's anger caused by the poisoning and injury of the Fire God Jackal was completely calmed down.

He immediately looked at him deeply, then nodded and said, "Okay, I will go to the Li family in person, and you should go back and have a good rest first."

"Yes, junior, I obey."

Zhou Chun responded, then immediately left the cave and returned to his residence.

Arriving at his residence, Zhou Chun immediately released the still weak Silver Electric Thunder Python Baibai, fed it a fresh meal, let it recuperate in the yard, and then went back to his room to rest.

After meditating and resting for half a day, Zhou Chun felt a little better, so he took out the storage bag he had obtained from the wolf-faced masked monk and began to check it.

Master Jiang’s storage bag was still with Zhou Mingde, and he didn’t know what was inside.

But all the gains from the wolf-faced masked monk were in his hands.

He opened the storage bag at this time and saw that there were less than 3,000 spirit coins left. However, in addition to the blue treasure bottle magic weapon he had put away, there was another second-level medium-grade magic weapon that had not been sacrificed. This item was also a magic weapon that appeared at the auction before, called the "Mysterious Water Chain", which was a magic weapon that trapped people. The transaction price at that time should be 4,600 spirit coins.

Fortunately, the monk with the wolf-faced mask had not had time to refine this item, otherwise Zhou Chun might not have been able to wait for the arrival of the Fire God Jackal in the previous battle.

Apart from the Aquarius magic weapon, the "Xuanshui Chain" and those spiritual coins, the storage bag of the wolf-faced masked monk was clean. There were only some pills for restoring mana and healing wounds and detoxification, and not many other miscellaneous items.

But if the dark blue scimitar magic weapon is also taken into account, Zhou Chun's gains would be very great.

Two second-grade top-grade magic weapons, even if each one is not as good as the [Sun-Shining Golden Wheel] magic weapon he bought at the auction, are still worth eight or nine thousand each.

Taking into account other gains, the things on the wolf-faced masked monk alone were worth at least 25,000 spirit coins.

If he could get a share of Master Jiang's relics next, his harvest this time would definitely be more than 30,000 spirit coins.

It's a big profit overall.

But Zhou Chun did not seem very happy at this moment.

Because the rewards and risks are proportional.

The monk with the wolf-faced mask obviously also has a background, and behind Master Jiang is a family of immortal cultivators that is apparently much more powerful than the Zhou family.

When these two forces find out that Zhou Chun was the one who killed the person, I'm afraid trouble will follow.

Therefore, this harvest is very hot to handle, and we have to find a way to resolve these two troubles for the family.

Half a day later, Zhou Mingde successfully brought the detoxification pill back to his family from the Li family.

After the Fire God Jackal was given the detoxifying elixir, the purple snake venom in its body quickly dissipated.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his stomach for a long time and felt relieved.

After instructing the Fire God Jackal to heal its wounds and eliminate the remaining poison, he left the spirit beast room and called Zhou Chun into his cave.

"Well, now that the Vulcan Jackal's poison has been resolved, it's time for us to talk about the trouble you caused this time."

In the cave, Zhou Mingde waited for Zhou Chun to come over and finished the ceremony, then he told him the purpose of calling him over this time.

The trouble caused.

Zhou Mingde started his speech with these words, and we can tell what he thinks about Zhou Chun's incident.

He looked at Zhou Chun and said in a deep voice: "In fact, I also know that this matter cannot be completely blamed on you. After all, it was Master Jiang who harmed you first, and this time it was the two of them who took the initiative to come and kill you with the intention of harming others."

"But you and I both know that in the world of immortal cultivation, no one cares who is right, they only care who has the bigger fist."

"Master Jiang and the other person you killed are both people with prominent backgrounds. Master Jiang himself is a master of alchemy. The forces behind them will not give up easily after two late-stage foundation-building cultivators were killed."

"If they find out that our Zhou family is responsible, they will definitely seek revenge!"

Generally speaking, cultivators from two immortal cultivation families would not easily become enemies.

Because once enmity is formed, it is possible that it will turn into hatred between families.

Helping relatives instead of helping others is the survival rule followed by all the immortal cultivation families in the immortal cultivation world.

Unless the enemy is incredibly powerful, no family would say that because a member of the family killed someone outside, the enemy family would come to the door and hand the person over to be dealt with.

If this were the case, then the family would have no cohesion at all and would not be able to gain the loyalty and love of its members.

It is also because of this that many cultivators, when they want to take revenge on a cultivator from a certain family, will not only take revenge on a single cultivator, but will include the entire family in the revenge list.

What's more, the people who committed the murder this time were Zhou Chun, the deputy patriarch of the Zhou family, and the pet of the Zhou family's supreme elder.

Just these two points are enough to determine whether this matter is inseparable from the entire Zhou family.

Before Zhou Chun came, he also considered the subsequent revenge from the forces behind Master Jiang and others.

At this time, facing Zhou Mingde's words, he also replied in a deep voice: "They also have families and businesses. Even if they want to retaliate, they can only use methods within the rules. It is impossible for them to assassinate our Zhou family's Qi Refining Stage cultivators without any bottom line!"

"In this case, why not try to ask the people from Qinglian Temple to help mediate this matter? I can fight a life-and-death battle with any non-late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator they send out, and settle our grudges!"

"You will have a life-and-death battle with them!"

Zhou Mingde was startled and looked at Zhou Chun in surprise. He didn't expect him to say that.

The so-called "life and death battle" is a special method of resolving grudges between two forces of similar strength, which is carried out when the personal grudges between several members are difficult to resolve.

Generally, a life-and-death arena is set up, and the two parties with irreconcilable personal grudges are asked to come on stage and fight to the death.

No matter which side is defeated or killed, the forces of the other side will not be held accountable.

In order to ensure that the losing party will abide by this afterwards, a master from a powerful position is usually invited to serve as the host.

"This is the best solution I can think of!"

Zhou Chun nodded calmly, expressing his attitude very calmly.

"But are you really sure? According to what you said, we can let the other party send a mid-stage foundation building cultivator to fight a life-and-death battle. What if the other party also finds a mid-stage foundation building cultivator who practices fighting methods and also has a contract with a second-level monster?"

Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Chun with a frown on his face, but he did not seem happy at all because Zhou Chun chose to bear the consequences alone.

Even though he had his own opinions about the trouble Zhou Chun had caused, Zhou Mingde had never thought of abandoning him.

So naturally, there were concerns about his risky solution at this time.

Facing his question, Zhou Chun calmly replied: "So the time for the life-and-death battle should be one year later. By then, not only will my Silver Lightning Python spiritual pet be able to recover, but the Rock Turtle may also have evolved successfully!"

"That's fine."

Zhou Mingde nodded slightly, agreeing with his idea.

Then he waved his sleeves and said, "Then you should go to Qinglian Temple in person to visit Fellow Daoist Mingxia, and take most of the relics of Master Jiang with you. With these things, I think the Jiang family will agree to your proposal for a life-and-death battle!"
