Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 203: Kidnapped Peacock King

As the saying goes: "Happiness shared is worse than happiness alone."

In the forest of hundreds of poisons.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord handed a spoonful of steaming bird droppings to Xiao Chen, wanting to share his happiness with Xiao Chen.

"Fellow Daoist Baimu, that's not necessary."

"It is true that a gentleman does not take away what others like."

"Such a good treasure, I see it is not easy to come by, Daoist Baimu can enjoy it all by yourself."

Faced with the invitation from the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord to taste the bird droppings together, Xiao Chen waved his hands repeatedly and chose to refuse without hesitation.

Although King Golden Horn wanted to pull the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord together, there was no need, really no need.

If this gets out, people will think he has some special hobby, and how can he lead his group of monsters?

What do the swan monsters, oriole monsters, eagle monsters and other bird monsters under his command, the Golden Horn King, think of him?

Will the group of bird demons just come over and offer them to him...?

"Hey……"

"My path to poison is so lonely!"

When the Hundred-Eyed Demon King heard this and saw that the Golden Horned King was unwilling to eat bird droppings with him, he shook his head in disappointment.

Real knowledge comes from practice!
As a rigorous poison master, how can he identify the poison without tasting it himself?
How do you know what poison tastes like if you don't take a bite?

How do you know what the poisoned person will taste like when he eats it? Can he detect any difference?

In ancient times, Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs to identify their medicinal effects. This was a spirit of selfless dedication and an unyielding exploration of pharmacology.

This "Shennong who tasted hundreds of herbs" was revered by human beings as one of the Three Emperors of the human race.

Well, my demon clan also has "a hundred eyes that have tasted a hundred poisons". I, the Taoist Baimu, will follow the example of Shennong and explore a great way of poison for all the poisonous creatures in the world!
I, Baimu Taoist, do not seek to leave my name in history like Shennong and become one of the Three Emperors of the Demon Race.

I, the Taoist of Baimu, just want to prove that in this world, the way of poison is not a minor path! The way of poison can also be free!

"Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and was revered by the human race."

"How come even my junior sister doesn't understand that I have tasted a hundred poisons with my hundred eyes?"

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord was very depressed.

After some conversation.

Xiao Chen had some understanding of the character of this Baimu Taoist.

This Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord can definitely be considered a poison-making maniac. He is willing to study and practice. With this spirit, he would definitely be a great scientist in future generations.

No wonder this Baimu Taoist is hailed as the "Demon Lord". He is almost crazy and evil, but he is neither crazy nor evil!
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord took the toiletries handed over by the little Taoist boy, washed himself carefully, and continued to take Xiao Chen to visit his Hundred Poison Forest.

Play is play, make noise is make noise, taste poison is taste poison.

He, Baimu Taoist, is a person who pays great attention to his appearance.

"Master Baimu, I wonder what the poison you are talking about is...?"

Xiao Chen asked directly.

He and the poison-making maniac like the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord have different thought processes. It seems difficult for them to become fellow Taoists. It would be better for them to talk business directly.

"Hahaha, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Jinjiao knows the difference between the yellow philtrum and the white philtrum?"

Baimu Taoist stroked his beard and smiled proudly.

"Of course I've heard about it."

Xiao Chen said after hearing this.

"At first I used the five poisons, namely the main poison, the secondary poison, the auxiliary poison, and the messenger poison, but the effects were not good."

"Later, I searched through medical books and got inspiration from the yellow and white philtrum."

"The medicinal properties and toxicity are the same."

"Since the philtrum is white and yellow, it can be used as medicine."

"Then can the yellow among birds and the white among beasts be used as poison?"

Baimu Taoist smiled complacently.

He collected all kinds of bird droppings and animal droppings, and after many attempts, he actually figured out the trick. The combination of "yellow among birds" and "white among birds" and his own centipede poison actually had miraculous effects!

This poison is asexual and tasteless, but extremely toxic. No matter if you are a god or a golden immortal, once you are infected with this poison, your bones will rot!

He named it "Bai Lian Poison"!
"This centipede monster is really a genius."

"The poison of bird droppings was actually discovered thousands of years ago."

"Based on this alone, it is not an exaggeration to call this Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord the 'Poison Ancestor'."

When Xiao Chen heard about the centipede monster's scientific research path, he couldn't help but admire it a little.

In fact, it was not until later generations that people discovered that bird droppings are often toxic.

Such as sparrow droppings, pigeon droppings, eagle droppings, egret droppings, cormorant droppings, peacock droppings, and guano droppings, are all poisonous.

The later Compendium of Materia Medica records: "Cormorant feces have a cold smell and are slightly poisonous."

The Guangdong General Records also records the poison of peacocks: "The gallbladder and feces of peacocks are the most poisonous and can kill people!"

The most common thing in life is pigeon droppings.

This thing is very common, but it is actually very poisonous, so be very careful.

Pigeons, known as "messengers of peace", may seem harmless to humans and animals, but their droppings are as poisonous as arsenic!

The king of hell is hard to save!

In previous lives, there were countless examples every year of a simple piece of pigeon droppings sending people directly to the ICU ward.

“Peacock droppings are highly poisonous.”

"The Peacock's brother Dapeng..."

Xiao Chen couldn't help but think of Dapeng who was still imprisoned in the "small world in his belly".

It is impossible for the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord to get such high-quality materials as peacock dung and roc dung.

If he took out the Dapeng feces and threw it to the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon King would be so excited that he would kowtow to the Golden Horned King and become sworn brothers with him on the spot!
It didn't take long.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord brought Xiao Chen to his poison-making hut and unlocked the seal on the door.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord flew onto the roof beam and took down a small suitcase.

The box was eight inches high, one foot long, and four inches wide, and was locked with a small copper lock.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord then took out a goose yellow silk handkerchief from his sleeve. There was a small key tied to the edge of the handkerchief. He opened the lock and took out a packet of medicine.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord smiled and explained:
"My medicine is made from the droppings of hundreds of birds in the mountains, weighing thousands of pounds." "It is boiled in a copper pot, and the heat is even."

"A thousand pounds of water will produce one scoop of it, and one scoop of it will produce three points of it."

"Three points need to be fried, forged and smoked again."

"This poison is as valuable as precious jewels and treasures."

"Even if you have any contact with the Golden Immortal, you still have to meet the King of Hell!"

"If it is eaten by ordinary gods, it will only take three centimeters to be dead."

"If it's Taiyi Jinxian, he has some Taoism skills and a strong body. It will take ten centimeters to kill him with the poison!"

After that, the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord took out a small spoon and gently dug out a needle-tip-sized poison block, and explained to Xiao Chen:

"This is the 100-centimeter refined poison. It is not only tiny and invisible, but also colorless and odorless."

"If you poison someone, you can't guard against it."

Xiao Chen took a quick look and found that one centimeter is actually "one ten-thousandth of a pound", which is 0.05 grams.

Ten centimeters is only 0.5 grams, which is actually very small, like the size of a sesame seed.

"Master Baimu, please pack me a hundred centimeters."

Xiao Chen smiled.

The centipede poison is actually a good thing!

He used the mosquito demon and combined it with the centipede demon's "Hundred Refined Poison" to let the mosquito demon poison.

Why do we need fighting and killing? Just poison them all to death!

"My poison is not cheap."

"If it's 100 grams of poison, it will cost 100,000 taels of gold."

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord said.

It's not that he was asking for too much. This poison is not easy to refine. He has been refining it for so many years and only got this little bit. The Golden Horn King just stretched out his hand and took away half of it.

"It doesn't matter."

Xiao Chen waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

With King Jinjiao's current wealth, one hundred thousand taels of gold is just a drop in the bucket.

Xiao Chen immediately took out one hundred thousand taels of gold from the "small world in his belly" and handed it to the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.

Pieces of gold ingots piled up like a mountain, reflecting dazzling light. The golden light was shining like a golden waterfall pouring in the darkness.

Occasionally, faint crisp collision sounds could be heard from the gaps between the gold ingots.

at this time.

Even the air was filled with a hint of metallic scent, and the heavy atmosphere of wealth made it almost hard to breathe.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord looked at the golden mountain and couldn't help but sigh:

"This King of the Golden Horn is really rich."

"One hundred thousand taels of gold were taken out just like that!"

Although he, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, is not a money-loving person, scientific research costs money and requires funding!

"With so much money, my Hundred Poison Forest can continue to expand in scale."

"Recruit more Taoist children and raise more birds."

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord looked at the small golden mountain, nodded, and imagined.

But then he thought of the problem of raw materials:
"These ordinary bird droppings can only be used to refine this hundred-refined poison, which is already the limit."

"If I want to go further, it won't be easy."

Thinking of this, the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord shook his head again and sighed:

"It's not easy to refine poison, especially the raw materials of bird droppings. The more types, the better."

"But the guano of some sacred birds is not easy to get."

"Fellow Daoist Baimu, do you have any other questions?"

Seeing that the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord kept shaking his head after receiving the gold, Xiao Chen thought that he was dissatisfied with something and asked him about it.

"Speaking of which, the Phoenix Clan has now disappeared and is hiding from the world."

"Among the birds nowadays, the peacock and the roc, the sons of the phoenix, are the most respected."

"I guess the peacock's and roc's droppings are also extremely poisonous."

Having said that, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord subconsciously licked his lips, looking like he really wanted to taste this strange poison.

"It's a pity that the peacock and the roc are both in Lingshan, and they are difficult to deal with."

"Otherwise, I will have the peacock or the roc tie him up and keep him in my Poison Forest."

"Use his peacock droppings to make poison."

"Strengthen my Bailian Poison!"

"Who knows, after adding this peacock poison, my Bailian poison could kill even a Daluo Jinxian."

Having said that, the eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord revealed an extremely crazy and passionate look.

That is the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord's yearning for the feces of the divine bird!

That was his yearning for the avenue of poison!

That was his obsession with tasting all kinds of poisons!

"Kidnapped the Peacock King to make poison?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen glanced at the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.

He could see that if given the chance, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord really wanted to tie up the peacock to study its droppings.

Although this Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord is a bit overconfident, one should never underestimate a poison-making maniac's pursuit of poison-making materials.

Madness and devilishness are similar. If you don’t become crazy, you will become a devil!

After all, some scientific research maniacs are really crazy when doing experiments!

Those scientific research maniacs are absolutely crazy, each one is crazier than the other, and they are almost possessed.

They tried every possible means in their experiments.

Even somewhat anti-human.

There are countless examples like this in later generations.
