Chapter 630: The Poisonous Pill Evolves

Ou Yangming and Big Yellow continued to advance after some time.

If one could overlook the forest from afar and could look through the trees, one would find something extremely interesting.

A human and a dog were slowly moving forward in a gigantic green sphere. As they kept pushing on, the green light seemed to have become brighter.

Ou Yangming was highly-spirited. He released his mental power to keep an eye on the poisonous pill’s change at any time.

He activated the power of Ghost Mo’s poisonous pill and formed a special shield because the pill had devoured poisonous pills produced from this place before. As such, he thought about giving it a go again.

Sure enough, the power released by Ghost Mo’s poisonous pill had an unbelievably wonderful effect. When the shield formed from the power came into contact with the drifting poisonous gas outside, not only did it block it outside, but it also kept sucking it into the poisonous pill to increase the pill’s toxicity bit by bit.

Big Yellow followed in Ou Yangming’s footsteps and scanned its surroundings vigilantly.

The flowers and plants around seemed to have become brighter and prettier, but they knew the more they were surrounded by the inviting colors, the more dangerous the situation was.

All of a sudden, Ou Yangming stopped and looked at a nearby tree.

The tree was not cut down, but it was not tall. As though affected by the environment, it was only about twice their heights, hence Big Yellow immediately noticed something unusual when it looked.

A small, egg-sized, round object was seen among the dense branches and leaves.

Big Yellow widened its eyes and shouted in disbelief, “A poisonous pill?”

Ou Yangming nodded slowly. “Yes, this is probably the same as the poisonous pills presented by Poisonous Saber Gentleman.”

Poisonous pills were not precious in the Spiritual Realm, but they could not be obtained easily.

The young fellow was confused long ago when Poisonous Saber Gentleman took out 3 poisonous pills with similar qualities in one go. He finally understood why when he saw the poisonous pill on the tree. It turned out that the pills were not acquired from a spirit beast, but found on such trees.

In actuality, the poisonous pill was not out in the open. It was hidden among the leaves, thus it would be incredibly difficult to spot it.

Nonetheless, while Ou Yangming controlled Ghost Mo’s poisonous pill in his hand, he suddenly noticed a tilt in the shield, which was absorbing poison at the periphery; the poison from a certain direction seemed to have had explosive growth.

Therefore, he slowly searched in that direction on purpose and finally found his target.

Even if ordinary people knew there were poisonous pills here, it would be tough for them to find those pills one by one.

When Ou Yangming arrived below the tree, an unusual change occurred.

The instant the shield generated from Ghost Mo’s poisonous pill touched the tree, the leaves around the poisonous pill on the tree gushed to envelop the pill layer after layer. If Ou Yangming and Big Yellow had not locked on its specific location, they could not have imagined a poisonous pill to be inside the wreathed leaves.

Ou Yangming retrieved a spear from his interspatial bag after a moment of hesitation.

The plants here were uncanny, so he did not want to touch them recklessly.

With that, Ou Yangming reached out the spear at lightning speed and touched the odd branches and leaves. Although it seemed like a gentle and powerless touch, they broke one after another. At last, he waved the spear to get rid of the leaves around the poisonous pill.

Given Ou Yangming’s capability in martial arts at the moment, the job was a piece of cake for him. Especially since he used a magic tool, it was not difficult at all.

Nevertheless, as soon as the poisonous pill left the tree, the green color around the shield became bright. The light seemed like the result of a sudden burst of energy, which caused an intense effect.

Ou Yangming and Big Yellow looked at each other with lingering fear.

They knew it was definitely a counterattack measure from the tree but unfortunately, it was a toxic counterattack, which happened to be relieved by Ghost Mo’s poisonous pill, so they were not affected at all.

Once the poisonous pill fell in front of Ou Yangming, he changed his weapon into a saber to pick the leaves away. Indeed, the poisonous pill was then revealed.

The poisonous pill was identical to the 3 poisonous pills previously taken out by Poisonous Saber Gentleman. At this moment, Ou Yangming sensed the immense hunger and thirst from Ghost Mo’s poisonous pill.

When Ou Yangming refined Ghost Mo’s poisonous pill, he withdrew all of its power and even made it undergo a peculiar change.

Ghost Mo’s poisonous pill seemed to have reacted to his dagger’s Devouring ability at that time, and it somehow possessed the marvelous ability. Needless to say, it only devoured poison.

Ever since Ou Yangming entered this place, the poisonous pill kept sucking drifting poison in the air, but the toxicity was too low for it. Unless it absorbed such poison for about a year, there would be no effect at all.

On the other hand, Ghost Mo’s poisonous pill became agitated right away when it sensed the Plant Poisonous Pill’s aura.

Ou Yangming looked strangely at the poisonous pill in his hand. Yes, he actually sensed excitement from the lifeless poisonous pill.

He exhaled deeply and suspected if it was hallucinating due to exhaustion.

“What is it?” Big Yellow asked as it was puzzled. It rarely saw such an abnormal expression from Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming forced himself to calm down and responded, “Something’s weird about this poisonous pill.”

Big Yellow wagged its tail and was unbothered. “What’s so weird about it? Isn’t it dead?”

The young fellow pondered for a while, then he lifted his wrist to pick up the poisonous pill from the ground, then he brought it toward Ghost Mo’s poisonous pill with his saber.

Next, a visible green light rose from the Plant Poisonous Pill and gushed toward Ghost Mo’s poisonous pill. Big Yellow shuddered with fear and widened its eyes.

The green light was transferred quickly, by which, the Plant Poisonous Pill deflated after a few breaths and vanished. Even so, Ghost Mo’s poisonous pill did not change in terms of its appearance. If Ou Yangming and Big Yellow had not witnessed this process, they would not have believed that it could devour a Plant Poisonous Pill in just a few breaths.

“Wh-what’s going on?” Big Yellow asked dumbfoundedly.

It finally understood why Ou Yangming had that expression on his face just now.

Ou Yangming shook his head and replied to it, “I have no idea.”

He was undecided for a while, but he released his mental power into Ghost Mo’s poisonous pill.

When he refined the poisonous pill in the past, he accidentally developed a subtle spiritual connection with it. This was the exact reason it could easily grasp its changes.

Every time the poisonous pill absorbed poison from the outside world, Ou Yangming realized that it seemed to have gained a stronger spiritual nature.

It was a dead object, but it was said to have a spiritual nature. Ou Yangming did not know how others would react if they heard about this, but such was the fact based on the situation that he sensed.

As at this moment, he sensed lively energy right after his mental power entered the poisonous pill.

The energy gave him a feeling of intimacy as if it could perfectly merge with his mental power.

Ou Yangming teased the energy while he quietly observed. He came to a sudden realization after a long time.

The energy was still not powerful enough!

Yes, there would be a sudden change once it grew to a certain point. By then, perhaps the energy would show its true self.

Ou Yangming slowly withdrew his mental power from the poisonous pill. He felt rather regretful at this point.

Yes, it was a feeling of regret. The energy was exceptionally attached to his mental conception as though it was a child that grabbed his finger and did not want him to leave.

Feeling amazed, Ou Yangming hesitated for a while and decided not to fully detach his mental power from the poisonous pill; he left behind a hint of his power to stay with the energy inside the pill. It was only a trace of his mental power, but it gave the energy an immense sense of security and satisfaction.

When Ou Yangming opened his eyes, he had an odd expression on his face like never before.

Big Yellow asked in confusion, “What did you find?”

Ou Yangming smiled bitterly and answered, “Perhaps it’s a new life.”

“A new life?” Big Yellow was bewildered.

The young fellow sighed and said, “Let’s not talk about it and get back to our business.”

According to the poisonous pill’s shield, there were numerous Plant Poisonous Pill here, and Ghost Mo’s poisonous pill was longing for them.

If Ou Yangming were to leave this place, he did not know where he could mind sufficient poison for the poisonous pill to grow.

Thus, he could not give up now that he was here.

As for the spiritual herbs... Ou Yangming glanced at Big Yellow and thought, ‘As long as this fella’s around, I can find them anytime anyway.’

Ou Yangming flashed and walked around the place where poisonous gas lingered in the air.

He did not know where Xia Zizhen and Poisonous Saber Gentleman went. In any case, he did not find any trace of them.

After walking about 100 meters, Ou Yangming sensed another magnificent change on the shield as the toxicity in a certain direction was particularly stronger.

Ou Yangming switched his direction at once. Sure enough, he found a new poisonous pill after a while. He collected it in the same way he did before, then he gave it to Ghost Mo’s poisonous pill as a treat.

Throughout the collecting process, Ou Yangming realized that as they went deeper into the forest, the Plant Poisonous Pill that he found was more powerful, such that the energy inside Ghost Mo’s poisonous pill was pleased with the toxicity it contained.

The young fellow grinned and continued to explore. The deeper they went into the forest, the brighter the green light on the shield, which meant the toxicity in the area was slowly increasing.

Despite that, they were safe as they were protected by the shield. Moreover, they soon collected over 10 poisonous pills.

As more poison entered, the energy inside the poisonous pill grew as well, and it finally began to change wonderfully as if it was going to have a new lease of life.
