Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 374 Avoiding Poison (Part 1)

On one side were the medicinal herbs that Han Yi had ordered from Mingfeng Courtyard in Jingtian Manor.

Mingfeng Academy, as its name suggests, is a separate academy where most martial arts practitioners are female, and the internal energy they cultivate is geared towards recovery and healing.

Therefore, Mingfeng Academy is equivalent to the largest pharmacy in Jingtian Manor, and its disciples are mostly skilled in traditional Chinese medicine.

These medicinal herbs were specially ordered by him for cultivating the Pure White Lotus Body.

Although many disciples in Jingtian Manor have gone home to rest, Han Yi has been spending a lot of money, and many disciples who are short of money are still working overtime to prepare the medicinal materials he needs.

Han Yi has no shortage of money right now; as the saying goes, he's a fat sheep with lots of money and a lot of gullibility.

On the other side was Tao Qingtang's reply. The letter didn't say much, just some New Year's greetings like "Happy Family Reunion" and "May your family be reunited."

Unfortunately, Han Yi was an orphan, and his heart remained completely unmoved.

Skipping over these pleasantries, he immediately went on to the question he had asked in his previous letter.

“Submerged wood…it seems that the black tiger wood carving from last time…was really due to the special material…” Han Yi pondered.

He spent all his time in the Jingtian Manor library, where he had a wide range of readings and had even heard of the great name of ebony.

Submerged wood, a precious and rare type of wood, is solid and heavy, with a rich, dark black color and a smooth, delicate surface. It is said to be resistant to decay and decay for thousands of years, appearing as if naturally formed. It was often used in the making of coffins for the tombs of emperors and royalty.

"So, to find another source of Yin energy, we still need to start with antiques, like those from tombs..." Han Yi picked up the New Year's gift from Tao Qingtang, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Tao Qingtang seemed to have assumed he liked wood carvings because of his inquiry, and thus sent a wood carving along with the letter.

The sculpture is of an eagle, its feathers as black as ink, its beak sharp and curved like a hook, its wings strong, and its eyes lively. Judging from the level of detail in the carving alone, it is subtly superior to the previous black tiger wood carving.

However, the material is likely a precious wood, perhaps even rarer than submerged wood. Han Yi didn't know the specific material, but since it lacked yin energy, it wasn't very valuable to him.

"That's true. Things that possess yin energy are, in the end, a minority. To encounter one is already considered extremely lucky." He chuckled and placed the wooden eagle carving on the bookshelf.

Just treat it as a small figurine; it's pleasing to the eye when you have some free time.

After tidying up the room a bit, I moved the large wooden tub that had been prepared in the corner and placed it in the center of the room. The various herbs I bought at Mingfeng Courtyard, as well as this large round wooden tub, were all for cultivating the "White Lotus Immaculate Body".

The white lotus is pure and immaculate, with a total of three layers. The visualization is also very simple: the pond water ripples, the lotus tips are small, and the green leaves and white lotus are faintly visible. The most eye-catching part is a section of white, bright and shiny lotus root that emerges from the mud unsullied.

Of course, this manual has a lofty purpose; once mastered, one can attain the state of "pure white lotus, immune to all poisons."

Since it is a cultivation technique with the property of avoiding poison, the requirements and steps for its cultivation are also quite strange.

The first level of cultivation requires collecting a large number of poisonous herbs and insects, such as the Heartbreak Grass, the Snake and Scorpion Flower, and the Five-Step Bleeding Bamboo...

These poisonous plants and flowers are expensive because they are rare and few people use them.

Fortunately, Han Yi is now wealthy, and with the Mingfeng Academy having ample reserves, he was able to gather just enough medicinal herbs.

Following the instructions in the manual, Han Yi carefully processed all the medicinal herbs while wearing gloves, and then threw them all into the wooden bucket.

After adding an appropriate amount of boiling water, a large bucket of blackish-purple medicinal soup with an ominous color, steaming with black vapor, soon appeared in front of him.

"This thing, you can take a bath in it?!" Han Yi looked at the dark purple medicinal soup in the wooden tub with a strange expression.

He carefully scooped out a spoonful of the medicinal soup with a wooden spoon and poured it onto a piece of Qionghua fish meat.

scoff!

A plume of white smoke rose, and a putrid stench filled the air. He could clearly see that the once bouncy piece of meat had instantly shriveled and dried up, like a mummified corpse.

"..." Han Yi was speechless.

Is it really possible to master this?

Isn't this going to kill people? The creator of the Pure White Lotus believed that since the white lotus can emerge from the mud unsullied, then of course a person can too.

Therefore, if you want your body to have the ability to resist or even be immune to toxins, the first step is to expose your body to a highly toxic environment and allow it to come into contact with and adapt to large amounts of toxins.

Once the body's external environment adapts to the toxins, the next step is to ingest poison internally, continuously increasing its toxicity to achieve a state of unity between the internal and external aspects of the body. Ultimately, this results in a constitution immune to all poisons.

It sounds reasonable, and the creator of the exercise method has a very advanced concept.

However, the creator of this technique did not reach the state of being immune to all poisons. He died young after tasting an unknown poisonous herb, suffering from exhaustion and other injuries.

"Fine, I've already bought everything. It would be a waste not to try it out!" Han Yi gritted his teeth, took off his clothes, and decided to give it a go.

This pot of medicinal soup, along with the herbs and the holiday overtime pay, cost him a full five hundred taels of gold. Even though he is now very wealthy, he would still feel the pain of losing it all at once.

Most importantly, the first level of the Pure White Lotus Body has indeed been successfully cultivated by someone.

If others can master it, then it shouldn't be a problem.

He quickly took off his clothes and jumped into the wooden tub.

Pfft!

The medicinal soup splashed everywhere, and a large amount of dark purple water seeped out from the walls of the bucket.

hiss…...

In an instant, as if stepping into boiling magma, scalding and excruciating pain surged through my entire body.

Han Yi had barely stepped into the wooden barrel for two breaths when he froze on the spot, motionless.

The dark purple medicinal soup around him seemed to have a life of its own, swirling around him and frantically drilling into his pores and orifices, like a small black waterspout.

"It hurts...it hurts so much!!!" Han Yi roared, sweat pouring down his face like rain.

Soon, his entire body, chest, back, and even face, were covered with countless pustules. These pustules ranged in size from ants to fists, covering his nose, mouth, eyelids, neck, and almost all the visible skin.

These pustules were dark purple, constantly oozing a thick, black liquid that was unclear whether it was blood or medicinal liquid. With the seepage of this liquid, intense stinging and itching sensations accompanied them.

"Evil...evil masters...do they all practice this kind of martial art?!"

The excruciating pain quickly spread to his internal organs. Han Yi even felt as if he were on fire, his body burning intensely inside and out like hot coals.
