Chapter 232: Chapter 11: Spirit Exorcism and Detoxification [ Additional chapter 6, 7 for the fallen ash of the Silver Alliance ] Chapter 232: Chapter 11: Spirit Exorcism and Detoxification [ Additional chapter 6, 7 for the fallen ash of the Silver Alliance ] “The inner pill has already formed, and among the Centipede Beads, only the Brain Bead and Spine Beads remain. There’s just one Brain Bead and four Spine Beads, the rest have not yet formed.”

With a tone of regret, Hu Lengyue said, “What a pity, we came too early. If we had come ten years later, we could have harvested at least thirty-six Centipede Beads. Those are treasures.”

“Today’s gains were entirely due to a series of coincidences, and if it weren’t for Little Feng Ying, we wouldn’t have been so lucky. Having four beads alone is already a huge gain. And who says we’ll still get the chance ten years from now?”

Zhuang Weiran was truly content, and he urged Feng Ying to collect the whole King Centipede. However, Feng Ying despised the idea because he didn’t want to carry such an ugly skin.

Seeing that Feng Yin didn’t object, Zhuang Weiran had to continue the tough work of peeling the skin.

Feng Yin thought to himself, “Uncle Zhuang, you have no idea what else is inside Feng Ying’s ring. Perhaps a piece of floor tile or a chess piece inside it possesses more value than the King Centipede’s carcass. Feng Ying’s refusal to take the remains of the King Centipede might seem wasteful, but he truly can afford it.”

Only after Zhuang Weiran finished peeling the skin did he remember something. He turned to look at Feng Ying, who was much smaller compared to the gigantic King Centipede. With a shocked expression on his face, he scratched his head and asked, “How did you, such a little fellow, kill this big guy?”

Feng Ying casually waved his claws, his whiskers fluttering, as if to say, “I just killed it, very simply!”

It was a simple matter of slicing off the creature’s limbs with wind blades before mounting its neck and hacking until it was severed… That’s all there was to it.

It was that simple!

Zhuang Weiran stared for a long time before finally accepting the truth.

Not only can one die of envy when comparing oneself to another person, but even more so when comparing oneself to a beast… Especially a beast of the Emperor Rank.

He asked Feng Yin in private, “Kid Feng, what’s the real story behind this little kitty?”

“I just picked it up. I don’t know its origins. My knowledge is shallow and I easily find things strange, but I don’t see anything unusual…” Feng Yin played dumb and began to mumble incoherently, talking nonsense.

“Hmph… I trust you one hundred percent.”

Zhuang Weiran rolled his eyes and left.

In Zhuang Weiran’s view, this cave did not look like the King Centipede’s dwelling. The King should live alone and not with a group, maintaining its sovereign status. This applied to all beast kings, not just the Centipede.

The reality was indeed as Zhuang Weiran deduced. If Feng Ying hadn’t been so flexible, darting and drilling around without restrictions, they would have found it tough to discover the King Centipede’s lair. The dens occupied by the centipede colony were certainly not where the King resided.

“Let’s each take two of the Centipede Beads and see if they can indeed suppress the Seven Yin Poison,” suggested Zhu Weiran.

Hu Lengyue nodded in agreement.

They immediately activated their powers, warming the Centipede Beads into softness before swallowing them and silently cycling their energy.

Feng Yin watched anxiously, ready to help.

The strength of these two directly affected the success or failure of their mission. If they could enhance their powers even slightly, it would be of great advantage at this critical juncture.

A few breaths later, both opened their eyes, looking somewhat surprised and conflicted.

“It’s really too little.”

Zhu Weiran smacked his lips before turning his eyes regretfully upon the Centipede Cave.

“It truly has some effect on the Seven Yin Poison. However, the effect is very small, able to only slightly disperse the poison. If we really had thirty-six Centipede Beads, they might be able to eliminate some part of the Seven Yin Poison.”

Hu Lengyue nodded in agreement, “That’s correct. Although it can’t completely cure us, it can disperse the poison in our organs and eliminate a bit of it, raising our power by a large margin. It’s a pity.”

The couple felt disappointed.

They wished for more Centipedes of this size. Wouldn’t it be nice if there were another dozen or so?

Their current desire wasn’t based on taste or the thought of eating them, but of countering the Seven Yin Poison.

It was a pity that all the sufficiently large centipedes on this mountain had been cleanly eliminated by Feng Ying. Where could they find so many more?

However, upon hearing the sentence “able to slightly disperse the Seven Yin Poison”, Feng Yin suddenly had an idea.

“After going down the mountain, let’s find a place to eat, rest a bit, and then continue on our journey,” suggested Zhu Weiran as he put aside his fantasies and stared at the path ahead.

In reality, there was no clear path ahead, just thick bushes and shrubs before them.

This area had already reached the surveillance range of Great Yan and was also the most direct route. If they were to make a detour, it would greatly delay their journey. Moving straight forward would save more time.

Originally, they would have preferred to reach their destination by flying, which was more efficient and time-saving. But in this environment, and under the influence of aura, Yan State’s martial artists would be quickly attracted.

They had to resort to the most primitive method of traveling, hiding under the cover of the jungle as they advanced stealthily. This was the most secure approach.

“Alright,” said Zhuang Weiran, “I’ll go find another cave.”

“Understood.”

The three of them nodded in agreement, their intentions in sync. Only Feng Ying seemed to be confused as to why they needed to find another cave.

Why did they need to find another cave to eat? Why not just eat here?

However, the act of eating also had its considerations. Even if they ate cold bread, it would still give off an aroma, causing a series of reactions such as affecting the air, energy flow, ground, animals, insects, and most importantly, the diffusion of the food scent…
