Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 42 Wolfsbane

On Yangjiao Mountain, Shu Tianjiao was squeaking and saying something. He had spies all around here.

In response to this, Jiang Chen just smiled and didn't care too much. It is normal to keep some tricks when interacting with strangers. It is really stupid to trust others completely.

"These three ounces of spiritual sand are probably the true value of the Wolf King skin. This talisman technique is more about the merits represented by buying out the Wolf King skin. However, the truly precious thing among these things is actually this jade token. It represents Lu Xuanping's identity as a direct descendant of the Lu family."

He opened the bag and took out a white jade token. Jiang Chen understood what Lu Xuanping meant. The other party left this token on purpose to express his hope to continue to interact with him.

With this thing as a guide, he will have a legitimate reason to look for Lu Xuanping next time. Relationships are always a matter of going back and forth. The more interactions there are, the closer the relationship will naturally become. As for the previous transaction, what was ostensibly sold was the skin of the Wolf King, but what was actually sold was the credit for killing the Wolf King and destroying the Wolf's lair.

But after just a few glances, Jiang Chen put the white jade token away again.

As long as you are alive, you cannot escape the network of relationships. Before you have absolute power, relationships are still very useful. However, whether the relationships are reliable depends more on yourself. If you are strong and valuable, the network of relationships around you will naturally be solid.

"Although Lu Xuanping didn't say it explicitly, from the few words he revealed, it seems that the Demon Slayer Division has dispatched a considerable number of personnel this time. It seems that there is indeed unrest in Wuxian Mountain."

With his thoughts turning, Jiang Chen lightly moved the corpse of the wolf king. If he delayed any longer, its soul would probably really dissipate.

Buzz, soul light suddenly appeared, and a lot of information flowed through Jiang Chen's mind like a kaleidoscope. Compared with ordinary ferocious horned wolves, the wolf king's spirituality was indeed much higher. It was also because of this that the information it left behind was much clearer.

"There was civil unrest in Wuxian Mountain. The five demon tribes led by them were fighting each other. Many demons were affected, and many chose to flee Wuxian Mountain."

After capturing an important piece of information, Jiang Chen's original doubts were quietly resolved.

"The Five Immortal Demon Clan is the leader of the Five Immortals Mountain. Compared to them, the Fierce Wolf Clan can only be considered a small clan. It is precisely because of this that even the Wolf King does not know what exactly happened in the Five Immortals Mountain."

The wolf king's soul dissipated. Thinking of the chaos in Wuxian Mountain, Jiang Chen frowned, but he quickly collected his thoughts.

"Five Immortals Mountain has no connection with me for now, so there's no need to overthink it. On the contrary, I've gained a lot this time."

A thought came to his mind, and Jiang Chen walked towards a secret cave in Yangjiao Mountain. That was where the ferocious wolf clan placed their spiritual creatures.

"Wolfsbane Ivy..."

Walking into the cave, Jiang Chen's eyes moved as he looked at the vines that took root on the corpses and spread out in all directions. This was the wolf poison vine, the most important foundation of the ferocious wolf clan.

Its entire body is dark red, and its vines are as thick as a child's arm. The surface is covered with sharp barbs. The leaves are emerald green, with saw-tooth edges, which are extremely sharp and can easily cut through flesh. They also contain toxins, and once hit, the creature will feel extreme pain.

"This wolfsbane vine looks like a truly dangerous creature. Most people would probably avoid it if they encountered it, but it actually has many magical uses."

"Although its juice is highly toxic, it can also stimulate the bloodline to a certain extent. It is precisely because of this that the Fierce Wolf Clan has been able to maintain its inheritance and give birth to a Fierce Horned Wolf every once in a while. However, correspondingly, many Fierce Wolfs have died from poisoning."

"In addition, when the wolfsbane vine grows to a certain size, it will bloom. This wolfsbane flower can enhance the affinity between living beings and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in a very short period of time, thus providing the possibility for living beings to cultivate qi."

As Jiang Chen's thoughts turned to the various wonderful uses of the wolfsbane vine, he looked towards its tip, where a bud was about to bloom. This was the wolfsbane flower. "The wolfsbane flower requires a large amount of flesh and blood to bloom. This is one of the reasons why the Wolf King ordered the wolves to hunt so relentlessly. He even considered sacrificing ordinary ferocious wolves, because once the wolfsbane flower bloomed, he could attempt to cultivate his Qi."

As his thoughts turned, Jiang Chen expressed his approval of the Wolf King's cruelty. It was a pity that the Wolf King was unlucky and lacked a bit of luck.

It was at this time that Shu Tianjiao, who received Jiang Chen's order, led the group of rats into the cave. They threw the wolf corpses one by one into the corpse pit where the wolf poison vine took root.

"Let me do what the Wolf King hasn't finished."

Seeing the corpses filling up the pit and the wolfsbane vine taking root in it, wantonly absorbing the power of the wolf corpses, Jiang Chen looked indifferent. To some extent, he was also helping the Wolf King fulfill his obsession. After reading the Wolf King's memory, he knew how much the Wolf King longed for the wolfsbane flower.

The previous wolf king of the ferocious wolf clan successfully advanced to the Qi training stage because he took wolfsbane flowers. At that time, the ferocious wolf clan was at its most glorious. Unfortunately, the later generations were not up to the standard, causing the ferocious wolf clan to decline again. After it achieved spiritual success, it made up its mind to revive the ferocious wolf clan.

In this way, ten days passed quietly. During these ten days, except for the wolf king's corpse which was refined into blood coagulation stone by Jiang Chen, the corpses of all other ferocious wolves were fed with wolf poison vines. Now, apart from about twenty cubs, only one ferocious horned wolf is still alive in the ferocious wolf clan.

This ferocious-horned wolf had fought with Shu Tianjiao and was defeated by Shu Tianjiao. Considering that it was still useful, Jiang Chen kept it for the time being.

As the power of all the corpses was absorbed, the buds of the wolfsbane flower finally turned red and quietly bloomed.

At this moment, a strong fragrance burst out in the cave, making all the mice left there fall into a state of intoxication, and they pounced on the wolfsbane vine almost crazily.

Seeing this scene and carefully feeling the changes in it, Jiang Chen did not immediately take action to stop the rats. Only Rat Tianjiao who followed him was kicked by him.

And in the next moment, the wolfsbane vines rioted, and all the mice that were attracted by the wolfsbane flowers and approached the corpse pit were strangled by it, becoming fertilizer for its growth.

When he woke up and saw this scene, Shu Tianjiao couldn't help but feel scared.

"Squeak, squeak, it turns out that the master still likes me..."

Feeling grateful, Shu Tianjiao quietly moved closer to Jiang Chen.

Seeing the tragic death of the rats, Jiang Chen was not surprised but happy.

"The Wolf King's memory is hazy. I was just guessing before, but now I can basically confirm that this wolfsbane flower does have a hallucinogenic effect. Most importantly, this hallucinogenic ability is not superficial, but touches the spirit."

After confirming his guess, Jiang Chen was overjoyed. This was the first time he encountered a treasure that could touch his spirit and soul.

"This item may help me recover my soul power faster."

With this idea in mind, Jiang Chen's regard for wolfsbane vine suddenly increased a lot.
