My low-key cultivation of immortality was discovered by the emperor in my diary.

Old Demon Huang narrowly escaped from Chu Lengyu's sword.

His nascent soul appeared in a secluded mountain forest, looking visibly exhausted.

In order to escape far enough, he had expended a lot of his energy this time, and he had also suffered some external injuries in order to forcibly break through the blockade of the Star God Annihilation Array.

He took out a bottle of pills from his storage bag, poured out a few and put them in his mouth, then quickly applied a layer of ointment to the wounds on the surface of his nascent soul.

As soon as the ointment came into contact with the wound, Old Demon Huang gasped in pain, but the ointment was very effective and the wound began to heal slowly.

The barrier-breaking talisman is the best item for cultivators in the Star Sea to train and explore. It can break all kinds of array restrictions, so Old Demon Huang always carries one with him.

He secretly rejoiced; although his encounter was fraught with danger, it had been averted thanks to this small talisman. (Note)

Although for parasites, the physical body is nothing more than a shell that can be replaced at any time, the experience of abandoning it voluntarily and being forced to abandon it by others are two completely different things.

Huang Laomo had not experienced the feeling of being defeated by a cultivator of the same level for a long time.

His expression remained calm as he sat cross-legged in meditation.

The female cultivator was indeed troublesome, but Huang Laomo's only goal on this trip was the waters of the Demon Abyss, so he was only thinking about recovering as soon as possible and finding out Ji Ying's situation and location so that he could make a plan accordingly.

Unfortunately, the spiritual energy here is too thin, but to avoid being discovered, he dared not set up a spirit-gathering array to concentrate the spiritual energy.

Left with no other choice, he had to continue using spirit stones to slowly recover his depleted spiritual power.

……

Inside the cave in Xiandu Mountain.

Chu Lengyu sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, exhaled a long breath, and felt refreshed.

Cultivating on spiritual veins is much more efficient.

She gently stroked the fluffy little head of the aurora fox beside her, then looked at the several storage bags placed in front of her.

These storage bags varied in size and style. With a light tap of her fingertip, one of the storage bags opened, its mouth slightly ajar, revealing its contents.

This is a red silk pouch; its surface is mottled, and the spiritual light on its surface has dimmed considerably, clearly indicating significant damage. The space inside is unstable and will likely collapse on its own soon.

Chu Lengyu moved swiftly, taking out all the items from the bag and carefully sorting them.

Magical artifacts, elixirs, talismans... these are all common items in the cultivation world, without a trace of demonic aura mixed in.

There were no unexpected surprises in this storage bag, so Chu Lengyu's gaze naturally turned to the next one.

Having erased the remaining divine imprint of the opponent, Mad Blade's storage bag was bulging, containing several times more red silk than he had ever stored.

The dozen or so magical treasures were mostly damaged and stained with blood, clearly having been seized from his defeated opponent and hastily put into his bag without being organized, appearing somewhat messy and disorganized.

Chu Lengyu's gaze swept over these magical treasures one by one, and he thought to himself that although these magical treasures were damaged, if they could be repaired, it would be a great gain.

Jin Lei left no storage bags behind; the remaining few storage bags all came from Huang Laomo.

When his nascent soul left his body, he only had time to take the most important one with him. The rest were left behind and eventually fell into Chu Lengyu's hands.

Opening them took some effort, but the rewards were even greater.

The bag contained a dazzling array of items, including puppets, talismans, elixirs, and spirit stones. There were also dozens of books and jade slips, as well as food for raising demonic insects. The variety of items was astounding.

Chu Lengyu casually picked up a jade slip that was not protected by any restrictions, and immersed her divine sense into it. After a while, a look of surprise gradually appeared in her eyes.

The jade slip contained not the cultivation techniques or spells she had originally thought, but a series of complex poison techniques.

These toxicology techniques include methods for preparing various poisons, from basic paralyzing poisons to deadly toxins that can kill instantly; each poison has a detailed formula and preparation process.

The latter half of the jade slip records the corresponding antidote.

These detoxification methods are equally detailed, covering everything from simple detoxification to the complex refining of various detoxification pills.

For example, the poisonous mist that Huang Laomo attaches to puppets, which can corrode the protective spiritual power, is a poison called Corrosion Spirit Powder.

The formula for this poison is complete, with detailed records for each rank from first to fourth. The jade slip also contains numerous annotations and insights, demonstrating the depth of Huang Laomo's research in this field. He has even nearly completed the deduction of the formula for the fifth-rank Corrosive Spirit Powder.

To counteract this poison, one only needs to find a spiritual herb called Night Mushroom, crush it, and integrate the powder into one's protective spiritual power to neutralize it.

Chu Lengyu only glanced at the jade slip containing the art of poison, but felt that she had gained a lot from it.

Although poison techniques are often regarded as unorthodox or heretical, they can be used as an auxiliary means in combat under certain circumstances.

Understanding poisons does not mean one must use them. As the old saying goes, poison and medicine are inseparable. Only by understanding the enemy's methods can one better deal with them.

She decided to keep the jade slip safe and study it carefully in her spare time.

She doesn't intend to study these poison techniques for attack, but she needs to know how to protect herself when facing enemies who use poison.

At the same time, she also realized that these detoxification methods might come in handy in the future, whether for self-rescue or to help others.

No wonder Old Demon Huang had so many unlabeled porcelain bottles in his storage bag; they probably contained poison instead of elixirs.

If she were to open it without knowing its contents, she might be ambushed.

_______________________

Note:

Let me briefly explain the settings.

The barrier-breaking talisman can break various array restrictions, but its effectiveness is limited and it is not omnipotent; it is not used to break the entire array, but rather to open a small opening at a weak point.

The production and sale of low-level barrier-breaking talismans are relatively common, while the higher the level, the rarer they become.

Boundary-Breaking Talismans are much rarer, with the lowest being the fifth rank. Their function is to break through spatial barriers and escape from independent small worlds such as secret realms, but they cannot escape from the larger world.

Meanwhile, in secret realms with special spatial rules, boundary-breaking talismans are ineffective.
