Chapter 880 Inheritance of Poison Techniques
Du'e knew that today's battle was nearing its end, so he waved his hand to retrieve the Vajra Pestle, and then replied in a sarcastic tone:
"Evil Lord, this is just a reciprocal gesture. We received the insect eggs you slipped into the cultivator's storage equipment. This is a return gift. Do you like it?"

The Evil Lord's eyes darkened, realizing that his secret tricks had been discovered. He gritted his teeth, his gaze sweeping over the people on the battlefield before fixing on Yun Xi. From the first moment he saw this female cultivator, he felt an inexplicable aversion to her. He had intended to kill her while fighting Xiong Wei, but he hadn't expected her to have immortal armor protecting her, and she ultimately escaped.

He had a premonition that the discovery of the insect eggs was related to this female cultivator. However, he was now poisoned and could no longer continue to entangle with the three Mahayana cultivators. He could only give Yun Xi a sinister look before quickly slipping into the passage, and the entrance to the passage was once again hidden.

Du'e Zhenzun habitually touched his bald head, said "That was great!" and then flashed back to the front-line camp with Xiao He.

Yu Tang Feng Xin calmly led Xiang Si Zi and Yun Xi back to their camp, leaving behind the evil insects that were still struggling after being smashed to the ground. Half an hour later, all the evil insects that had been tainted by "Entanglement" turned into a pool of blood and were completely wiped out.

After everyone returned to the main tent, they began discussing the recent encounter, with Du'e getting straight to the point:

"Ranxi, what poison did you use on the Evil Lord that made him so wary?"

When Yunxi was called upon, she immediately stepped forward and respectfully replied:

"The poison I used is a long-lost technique of the Medical Immortal Sect. I obtained this poison when I inherited the Medical Immortal Sect's legacy in the Weiyu Realm. There were only two portions. I gave one to Xiangsizi so she could research a poison specifically for evil insects. The other portion was used on the Evil Lord. This poison is called 'Entanglement,' which means 'entanglement until death.'"

This poison is colorless and odorless. It can penetrate the human body as soon as it gets close to the skin. As the internal organs are contaminated by the poison, the body will rapidly decay. Even the nascent soul cannot escape it. Once a cultivator is poisoned, he will not be able to abandon his physical body and re-possess another body.

Because this poison is so insidious, cultivators of the Medical Immortal Sect who practice poison techniques are not allowed to refine it. Only two copies of "Entanglement" are kept to deal with powerful enemies.

The Wei Yu Realm's Medical Immortal Sect was wiped out overnight. Except for Chen Yebai's lineage, who used the teleportation channel to reach the Spirit Realm, all other disciples of the Medical Immortal Sect perished. As a result, no one in the Spirit Realm lineage practiced poison arts, leaving them with little ability to protect themselves. Even with a Great Ascension True Venerable presiding over them, they only managed to become a second-rate sect.

After hearing this, Du'e clicked his tongue twice and said:

"The name of this poison sounds rather chilling!"

Yunxi smiled slightly, revealing a pair of dimples, and continued:
"When I was reading the books on poisons, I learned about the origin of this poison. It is said that it was specially developed by a sect leader of the Medical Immortal Sect for his only daughter. His daughter had dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, making her the most suitable candidate for alchemy. And his daughter did not disappoint him. She became a fourth-grade alchemist before she was three hundred years old."

Because of this, his daughter caught the eye of a certain family, who extended an olive branch, wanting to marry the sect leader's daughter. They also secretly sent their handsome elite disciples to get close to her in order to win the sect leader's daughter's heart.

This woman is indeed unparalleled in alchemy, but she is quite naive when it comes to love. She easily gave her heart away and then went to the sect leader, wanting to become a couple with her beloved.

The sect leader couldn't refuse his daughter, and he also sensed that he would soon ascend to immortality. He felt that he could leave with peace of mind if he entrusted his daughter to a reliable person. So, after several investigations, he finally agreed to the marriage.

Just two days before his daughter's marriage, he secretly gave her a pair of jade rings, saying they were a gift from him to the two of them. He told his daughter that if her partner ever betrayed her, she only needed to smash the jade rings on his body, and reminded her not to let any third party know about this.

The sect leader's daughter believed that her Daoist partner would not betray her, but she still remembered these words and did not tell him.

After their union, the two enjoyed a period of blissful companionship. Soon after, the sect leader ascended to the upper realm under his daughter's watchful eye, severing all ties with her. From then on, the female cultivator's family began to reveal their true colors, relentlessly exploiting her, even imprisoning her and forcing her to focus solely on alchemy, making her their exclusive alchemist to train more disciples. Her partner, however, remained indifferent to her fate, choosing to stand by and watch.

Only then did the female cultivator realize that all the sweet words and vows she had made were lies. Her Daoist partner had always coveted the inheritance of her Healing Immortal Sect. So when her Daoist partner came to her again, demanding that she hand over the inheritance of the Healing Immortal Sect, she seized the opportunity to shatter the jade ring on his waist, signifying that she was severing all ties with him.

After the jade ring shattered, the poison sealed within it quickly entered the male cultivator's body. Her Daoist partner didn't even leave the alchemy room before he perished on the spot.

It was at this moment that the female cultivator discovered the secret of the jade ring. It was the last safeguard that the ascended sect leader had set up for his daughter. As long as this man dared to betray his daughter, he would only have one way out: death.

The female cultivator was not one to be easily bullied. After seeing her Daoist partner's true colors, she used the jade token on his body to escape from where she was being held captive. And without hesitation, she sent a handful of poison to the family.

When the patriarch of the family tried to kill her, she crushed the jade ring at her waist, poisoning the patriarch as well. The nascent soul that escaped was corroded by the poison and disappeared before it could even fly out of the family's territory.

The sect leader's daughter eventually returned to the Healing Immortal Sect, switching from alchemy to poison refining, establishing her own school. Because of her exceptional talent, she achieved remarkable success even in poison refining, thus ensuring the Healing Immortal Sect's lineage of poison arts.

Everyone present sighed inwardly upon hearing this, but Xiangsi Zi, standing to the side, smiled and said:
"This ancestor of the Medical Immortal Sect's poison technique is a remarkable person. He learned from his mistakes, got rid of the scumbag, and even created a new poison technique. He is truly worthy of respect. If I met a man like that, I would make the same choice."

Yunxi narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and replied with a smile:

"This matter cannot be generalized. There are always people with deep feelings and true character. However, this matter also reminds me not to play with anyone's feelings, otherwise I will definitely suffer more losses than gains."

After speaking, he exchanged a knowing smile with Xiangsi Zi, which made the two male cultivators shake their heads helplessly. Then, he changed the topic from the poison to the poisoned Evil Lord.

Yu Tang Feng Xin was the first to speak:

"The Evil Lord has entered the Void of Nothingness. I reckon there should be someone inside who can help him detoxify, but I wonder how long it will take?"

Xiao He frowned and said:
"Based on the length of time it takes to detoxify, we can roughly guess the strength of the other evil cultivators within the Boundless Ruins."

After saying that, he looked at Yunxi and said:

"Ranxi, is there an antidote for your 'entanglement'?"

Yunxi shook her head seriously and said:

There is no antidote in this world.
