Chapter 1395: Chapter 563: Flame Prison Peacock [Request Subscription]_2

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuanlian couldn’t help but glance at the ugly man before replying softly, "Clan Leader, I was captured by this man while collecting medicinal herbs and fighting demons in Redflame Valley. As for why he captured me, firstly, he wanted me to help him neutralize the Flame Prison Peacock poison in his body, and secondly, he wanted me to assist him in drawing out and slaying the Flame Prison Peacock!"

"Neutralize the Flame Prison Peacock poison?"

Zhou Chun was slightly taken aback and couldn’t help but gaze at the dark red pockmarks on the ugly man’s face, showing a look of sudden realization.

He thought to himself, with the cultivation level of this ugly man at the Purple Mansion Late Stage, unless he had a twisted personality, there was no way he would let so many poison spots grow on his face.

In the current situation, it’s clear that with his cultivation and abilities, he couldn’t completely eliminate the poison within himself and could only seal it this way.

But soon Zhou Chun seemed to have thought of something, shaking his head repeatedly, "No, if he only wanted you to help him detoxify and draw out the Flame Prison Peacock, he wouldn’t have continued to imprison you after knowing your true identity. This guy isn’t telling the truth!"

"I think the same way; that’s why I have only been pretending to cooperate with him and have not truly helped him completely neutralize the poison within him!"

Zhou Yuanlian nodded, fully agreeing with Zhou Chun’s words.

Meanwhile, the ugly man listened to their conversation and his expression changed drastically.

He looked at Zhou Yuanlian after a moment of changing expressions and suddenly asked, "Were you telling the truth earlier? Can you really neutralize the Flame Prison Peacock poison within Qin?"

"What if I can? What if I can’t? Do you still expect me to help you at this point?"

Zhou Yuanlian looked indifferently at the ugly man, his tone full of mockery.

Zhou Chun also coldly regarded the ugly man, and although he said nothing, the chill in his eyes was equally unsettling.

Unexpectedly, the ugly man at this time instead showed strong confidence, looking at Zhou Chun with a calm expression and said, "How about I make a deal with you, Senior Zhou? As long as this friend helps me neutralize the Flame Prison Peacock poison within me, I will assist you in capturing a Fourth Grade lesser Flame Prison Peacock as a Spirit Pet!"

What?

Zhou Chun looked at the ugly man in surprise, shocked by what he said.

After the shock, Zhou Chun couldn’t help but voice a deep question, "Have you gone mad? You can’t even neutralize the Flame Prison Peacock poison in yourself, so how will you help Zhou capture a Fourth Grade Flame Prison Peacock? And if it’s truly Fourth Grade Flame Prison Peacock poison, you’d have long turned to ash!"

Though he said this, he couldn’t help but feel a vague suspicion that perhaps the ugly man wasn’t lying, that he might be telling the truth.

Sure enough, facing his questioning, the ugly man was very composed and said, "I am not exaggerating, Senior Zhou; if you listen to the details, you will know whether it’s true or false."

He then began to explain to Zhou Chun and Zhou Yuanlian the whole story.

It turns out that he contracted the Flame Prison Peacock poison during a battle with a Third Order upper Flame Prison Peacock.

Flame Prison Peacocks, these demon beasts, naturally reside near volcano craters, capable of delving into volcanic magma, and also enjoy eating centipedes, scorpions, poisonous snakes, and various venomous insects and poisonous plants.

Over time, the demon fire of the Flame Prison Peacock becomes extremely toxic, even its claws and blood contain a special toxin.

Once injured by it, one becomes infected with the unique Flame Prison Peacock poison, which contains a hundred types of toxins, making it extremely complex and difficult to cure.

The ugly man, during the battle with the Flame Prison Peacock, was deeply injured by its demon fire and contracted the Flame Prison Peacock poison.

Fortunately, the cultivation technique he practiced was effective in detoxifying, and by taking detoxification pills in time, he managed to neutralize some of the poison, saving himself from this peculiar poison.

But because of the poison, he dared not continue fighting and could only hastily use a Fourth Grade Talisman to escape for his life.

After escaping back to the sect, the ugly man discovered that because too much time had passed, and he had focused only on using his Innate True Fire to detoxify, he hadn’t noticed the poison invading his Dantian Qi Sea along with the Innate True Fire!

As a result, the poison took root in his body, using his mana and energy as nourishment, growing stronger as it was expelled, becoming an unbreakable chronic affliction!

Even when he sought help from Golden Core Stage Cultivators in the Sunflame Sect, none could truly rid him of the chronic illness.

In the end, he could only use a Secret Technique to gather the poison in his body to form poison pocks on the surface, then regularly rupture the pocks to release the poison.

Though this method preserved his life, it caused immense suffering and nearly shattered his hopes of Core Formation!

Such a situation was intolerable for him.

During the following days, he began to search through classic texts and study information on the Flame Prison Peacock.

By doing so, he found a way to detoxify.

The method was quite simple: just kill the Flame Prison Peacock and consume its gallbladder gall to detoxify.

However, when he enlisted a Golden Core Elder to help slay the demon, the attempt ultimately failed, allowing the Flame Prison Peacock to escape into the volcanic magma!

But, it’s a blessing in disguise.

During that battle, the ugly man discovered that the Flame Prison Peacock possessed exceptionally potent Fire Phoenix Bloodline and might condense a Fire Phoenix True Feather upon breaking through the Fourth Grade, awakening the Fire Phoenix Legacy!
