Long Road to Stardom

Lin Xing resigned himself to the fate and checked the injuries of the monster in his arms.

After a period of investigation, she had a clear understanding of all the injuries on the monster.

There was no fatal injury, but there was a venom that had been corroding the inner elixir in its body and absorbing the demonic power inside the elixir, which caused it to fall into a coma. Moreover, the poison will slowly grow stronger after absorbing the demonic power. When the venom covers the entire demon elixir, that will be the time of its death.

Lin Xing took out the 'detoxification pills' she made and fed them in. After observing for a while, she found that the poison was only slightly reduced. She only had five 'detoxification pills' on her, and feeding them all in would only reduce the poison by one point at most.

As expected, the venom that can infect a fusion-stage demon beast cannot be cured by ordinary "antidote pills" at all.

Lin Xing tried to force the venom out again, but there was no reaction at all. If he couldn't get rid of it in one go, as long as a trace of the venom was left, it would slowly grow stronger.

"Do we need to extract a little of this venom to check its ingredients?"

But she was afraid that the poison would be transmitted to her.

After thinking for a while, she decided to give it a try. She immediately released her spiritual sense to explore the inner elixir. Fortunately, the poison did not cause any harm to her spiritual sense, so she felt relieved and investigated carefully.

Then she released her spiritual power and slowly probed into the inner elixir of the monster. She was relieved to see that the inner elixir did not reject her spiritual power. If it rejected her spiritual power, she would have to give up this method.

She carefully controlled the spiritual power and transformed it into tentacles to steal a trace of venom. At this time, the venom actually followed the spiritual power and was heading towards her body.

Lin Xing quickly increased her spiritual power to wrap up the venom and get it out of the monster's body. Before the venom entered her body, she immediately cut off the spiritual power, then took out a porcelain bottle to catch the stripped venom and covered it with a lid.

In just a short while, Lin Xing's forehead was covered with sweat.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she looked at the poison in the porcelain bottle.

The originally dark red venom turned into a silver liquid in the porcelain bottle.

"Is this 'Soul Devouring Liquid'?"

Lin Xing recalled what was introduced in a book: the main ingredient of the 'Soul Devouring Liquid' was extracted from the blood of extremely poisonous monsters.

The blood extracted from each monster has a different color. The blood in her hand is extracted from the blood of a toad, but if you want to poison a monster in the fusion stage, you need to have at least the strength of a toad in the fusion stage to extract it.

It is very simple to detoxify. You can eat the gallbladder of the monster that refines the "Soul-Devouring Liquid". Another way is to lure out the venom.

Lin Xing felt a little disappointed when she thought of this. How could she know which toad's blood the monster in her arms was extracted from? Even if she knew, she would not be able to defeat it with her current strength. There was another possibility. The toad was probably killed long ago, otherwise where did the "Soul-Devouring Liquid" that the monster in her arms was infected with come from?

There was nothing on her body that could draw out the venom, and she didn't know what could be more tempting than the inner elixir of a monster.

"It seems like we can only give it a try."

Lin Xing took out everything on her body and tried them one by one. After three hours, looking at the last thing in her hand, she no longer had any hope.

But she tried anyway.

"Hey, there seems to be some movement."

Lin Xing thought it was his illusion, so he tried again and found that the venom in the monster's body was actually stirring.

"Could it be that I have underestimated this thing?"

"This bottle of monster blood, does it have a great origin?"

"But why can't she see any difference in this bottle of blood?"

Lin Xing carefully examined it again and found that this was indeed the blood of a fifth-level monster. How could it be favored by this venom?

However, this bottle of monster blood was obtained from the storage bag of a dead monk when she was in the "Yinfeng Forest", and she couldn't tell which monster the blood came from.

The smell of blood, she was sure that she had never encountered such a monster, but it could make the venom stir, so this blood must be poisonous, and the toxicity is not low.

She remembered the book's introduction, "Soul Devouring Liquid" is a kind of venom with spiritual properties, which can sense things that enhance itself and devour them.

The more it swallows, the stronger the toxicity will be. In the end, even a Mahayana cultivator will not be able to expel the poison, and there is nothing that can lure it out. Eating the bile of a monster is also useless. Only a ninth-grade "panacea" can detoxify the poison.

However, no one has encountered such a situation. It is extremely rare to have a little 'Soul-Devouring Liquid' refined from the blood of a fusion-stage monster. If one wants to improve the 'Soul-Devouring Liquid' to the point where it can also be effective for Mahayana cultivators, it is unknown how much energy and time it will take, and it may not even succeed.

The 'Wanling Pill' is even more difficult to make. It requires high-level spiritual herbs that are more than ten thousand years old, which stumps many people. Even if you can gather these high-level spiritual herbs that are more than ten thousand years old, you don't know what the price will be to ask a ninth-grade alchemist to refine it. It may be difficult to even meet him, let alone refine it. Moreover, the 'Wanling Pill' is a pill close to the tenth grade, and the difficulty of refining is extremely high. Many ninth-grade alchemists may not be able to refine an 'Wanling Pill' in their entire lives. The tenth-grade alchemist was once someone more than five thousand years ago, but there is no tenth-grade alchemist on the mainland now.

The 'Soul Devouring Liquid' that the monster in her arms was poisoned by only had one kind of blood. If it had devoured other highly poisonous bloods, it would have had an extra color. Therefore, the bottle of blood in her hand could cause a commotion, and its toxicity should be no less than the venom that the monster in her arms was poisoned by.

Lin Xing suddenly became a little excited. If he could draw out the venom and fuse it, then that would be another thing that even the cultivators in the fusion stage would be afraid of. It could even threaten the cultivators in the out-of-body stage.

At this moment, she looked at the monster in her arms with favor. She suppressed the excitement in her heart, looked at the porcelain bottle of monster blood in her hand, carefully took it out, and exposed it to the air.

Her spiritual sense immediately detected that the venom in the monster's body was about to move, but it still did not leave the monster's body.

Lin Xing brought the blood in the air closer to the monster, and sure enough, the venom in the monster's body became more violent.

After realizing this, she placed the blood in front of the monster. The next second, the venom in the monster's body rushed out and devoured the blood next to the monster. Before the venom had completely devoured the blood, Lin Xing picked up the prepared porcelain bottle, put it away and covered the bottle with a cap.

Looking at the unusually restless porcelain bottle, Lin Xing quickly cast a few prohibitions, and it finally calmed down.

After taking back the porcelain bottle, she looked at the monster in her arms and checked its breath. It was indeed much better, but still looked unconscious.

However, she did not find it strange, as the venom had absorbed a lot of the spiritual power in its inner elixir and also devoured some of its origin. Its cultivation level in the middle stage of fusion had dropped to the early stage of fusion. If it had been a little later, it would have dropped to the Spirit Transformation stage.
