Return Of The Demon - 138 Hundred poison immunity

Bai Yun thought for a while whether he should start on the next process of refining the various materials he had gotten, or hundred poison immunity. But Bai Yun realized that he did not have enough time left for it.

So Bai Yun spend a little bit of time organizing his various gains. The first thing he took out was the three headed snake. Bai Yun skillfully disassembled it and separated its various parts. Bai Yun briefly considered using the bones of the snake for the bow but a closer look revealed that it would be too flexible.

And as Bai Yun was studying the demonic cores of the three headed snake, Bai Yun got a surprise. He realized that one of the demonic cores, the one from the fire element head, contained a beast flame inside. While Bai Yun already had the hundred beast flame, and adding this would not increase its power by much, but every little bit would help.

Bai Yun took the flame demonic core of the three headed snake and held it in his hand. He then slowly injected his qi into the demonic core.

As Bai Yun injected his qi into the demonic core, it started to vibrate crazily. Usually injecting qi into a demonic core was useless. This was because the qi in the demonic core was the qi of a demonic beast. It was violent and unstable. If foreign qi was added to it, it would cause the demonic core to explode. Thus special processing was necessary in order to make it suitable for various uses.

But there was a single exception to this rule. And that was when the demonic core held a transcendent element. If there was a transcendent element in the demonic core then the transcendent element would absorb the violent energy and simply cause the demonic core to crumble, leaving the transcendent element alone. And then the transcendent element could be collected or absorbed, or it would dissipate in time.

And that was what happened when Bai Yun added qi to the demonic core. The demonic core quickly crumbled and in its place was a small orange flame that flared up and down rapidly.

Bai Yun grabbed the beast flame and quickly swallowed it. After this, he directed the beast flame to his dantian.

When the beast flame reached Bai Yun’s dantian, the hundred best flame that was in Bai Yun’s dantian started to shake wildly. Even without any prompting, the flame rose and quickly swallowed the beast flame that just entered Bai Yun’s dantian. In a short while, the hundred beast flame finished assimilating the beast flame. And it had grown imperceptibly larger after doing so.

After waking up the next morning, Bai Yun went down to the store. He was wondering how exactly the store should be presented. Bai Yun stood there for a while before deciding on a simple design.

Bai Yun just placed a small table and a chair at the front of the store. There was also a shelf at the back of the store, but it was quite empty right now.

After all this was done, Bai Yun simply lazed around until it was noon. At noon Bai Yun opened the doors of the store, sat down on the chair, and simply waited. Bai Yun did not even bother to look outside or try to attract any customers. There were a few people who stopped by the store seeing its strange sign, but looking inside and not seeing any items on the shelves, they just ignored the store and moved on.

And that was how the first day of the store went. Not a single customer came in for the whole hour. After an hour, Bai Yun closed the shop and went back downstairs.

Bai Yun went down to the alchemy room and started to arrange the various poisons he had collected. Bai Yun had a couple of mineral poisons, the venoms he had collected from various beasts, the demonic cores of a few venomous and poisonous beasts, and other poisonous items. The final item Bai Yun placed down was the blue lotus. Bai Yun had collected four blue lotuses. He sold one of the lotuses in the alchemist association and kept two for use in the muscle tempering realm. The last one was used for the hundred poison immunity.

After Bai Yun collected the various poisons, he started to take a small sample from the various poisons and started to do measurements on them. He had to understand each poison very exactly in order to make the potion that would give him hundred poison immunity. If he made even the slightest mistake, the final product would become a deadly poison and not an antidote.

One after another Bai Yun tested his various products. Since he had to be extra sure, Bai Yun did multiple tests on them to get everything perfectly right. The whole process of simply cataloging and studying these poisons took three full days. During these three days other than sleeping, and spending one hour each day in the shop, Bai Yunspend all the time studying the poisons. And as for the store, not a single person had stepped into the store, though there were quite a few curious looks.

And it was in such a state that on the fourth day, Bai Yun came done after his hour at the store. He had bought all the auxiliary materials needed for the process yesterday from the alchemist association. In order to buy all the necessary materials, Bai Yun had to sell all the items he collected from the poison valley, that he was not going to use, including everything except the muscles of the three headed snake.

Bai Yun dragged a large tub that he had prepared into the alchemy room. Bai Yun then started to pour various poisons and the various side medicines into the tub after liquefying them. Each dose was calculated to the milligram in order to not be wrong.

The whole process took practically the whole night. The basic idea behind this was to select opposing types of poisons and to use their potency to cancel each other out. For example, for every poison that would thin the blood there would be one that would clot the blood. This way the net effect of all the poisons would be that they do nothing.

And Bai Yun carefully added one poison after another to the tub. By the time he was done, it was almost sunrise. Realizing that he was too tired, Bia Yun stopped for the night and went to sleep.

The next day Bai Yun opened the store just like usual. And just like usual, no one came in.

Bai Yun spend the whole hour mentally preparing him for the hundred poison immunity. And Bai Yun was very nervous. If he had made even the slightest mistake, he would be killed. But after he closed up the shop, Bai Yun went down to the alchemy room decisively. He also left a message on the door of the store saying that he would be away for a few days.

Bai Yun stood before the tub, and took off all his clothes. Then he entered the tub and submerged his entire body in the thick black liquid. He stayed submerged for a moment before he lifted the protective qi covering and then took a deep breath, swallowing the liquid in the process.

The next moment every single point in Bai Yun’s skin felt like it was being pierced by needles as the poison entered his body through the pores on his skin. At the same time, Bai Yun’s stomach started to burn with the poison that he drank.

As the poison entered Bai Yun from various directions, the level of the liquid in the tub started to fall sharply. All of the liquid in the tub entered Bai Yun through his pores, his mouth, his lungs, his eyes and ears. It was all rushing into Bai Yun to suffocate and kill him.

And Bai Yun suffered the greatest pain he had ever suffered in his life. The worst part of it was that it wasn’t just pain. Pain Bai Yun could handle. But this was so much worse than that.

Every cell of Bai Yun’s body felt like it was being stabbed, beaten, ripped apart, and crushed all at the same time. Bai Yun’s blood would completely clot for a moment, and then it would all flow like water. His muscles were trembly sharply and going limp at the same time. And Bai Yun’s senses were on a roller coaster. He would feel all the effects of the poison magnified by ten times in a moment, and the next moment, he would fall into a darkness where all of his senses were completely cut off. And sometimes these contradictory feelings would appear at the same time.

Bai Yun felt as if his body was being burned and frozen inside out at the same time. Bai Yun wanted to scream, but his vocal cords were being ripped and crushed. He wanted to claw at something, but his nerves would not send the message to his body. And even if they did, his muscles wouldn’t respond. For a moment Bai Yun wished that he would die, just so that the torment would end.

Bai Yun felt as if each second was an eternity. The black liquid in the tub had long since disappeared into Bai Yun’s body, but he didn’t notice it. In fact, Bai Yun couldn’t feel anything. After what felt like an eternity, Bai Yun could feel the effects of the liquid start to lessen. The contradictory feelings that rose within his body were getting farther apart and when they did they were getting weaker and weaker.

And then, without even realizing it, Bai Yun finally lost consciousness as the effects of the liquid weakened.

As Bai Yun lay in the tub, a thick dark sludge slowly started to come out of Bai Yun’s body. These were the various pill impurities that he had collected in his body, being forced out by the liquid. There were also many poisons from the liquid that hadn’t completely taken effect.

As Bai Yun lay there his body slowly started to transform. There were still many poisons inside his body, but they were being rejected by Bia Yun’s body. Each and every cell in Bai Yun’s body was fighting against the various poisons in his body. Soon the amount of black sludge in the tub increased to a few inches thick. The sludge had actually risen to just beneath Bai Yun’s nose, which was lucky for him, as otherwise, he would have suffocated.

And three days and nights passed while Bai Yun was in this state. Each day tremendous transformations were happening in his body. And finally, after three days, Bai Yun weakly opened his eyes.
