Chapter 1726: Chapter 1746: Shall We Join Forces?_1

"Is the Five Poison Hall powerful?"

Upon investigating, Lin Chen quietly asked Chu Yue. He was a newcomer here after all. Even though he had gone through some materials on the Heavenly Mystery Continent, could he compare with those who have always lived here?

Chu Yue answered, "Overall, their strength isn’t all that impressive, but they have quite a reputation. Firstly, because of their use of poison, and secondly because the founder of the Five Poison Hall, the Five Poisons Elder, is an ominous old monster, a Peak Celestial Immortal. He’s dedicated to the art of poison, and his name is well known. Even other Peak Celestial Immortals, or even Immortal Monarchs, generally avoid provoking him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen quickly grasped the picture.

If their combat power lacks, they supplement it with poison. No matter how strong you are compared to your adversary, you always need to be cautious of their poison. If the strength difference isn’t significant, then the fight might become even more difficult.

This should be the reason why people are reluctant to provoke the Five Poison Hall.

If they can’t defeat you, they’ll poison you to death; if they can’t poison you to death, they’ll nauseate you to death!

"Brother Chu, how do you plan to proceed?"

Chu Yue laughed, "Since we’re here, naturally, we’ll have to go and check it out. Let’s first see if our detoxification pills work. Want one?"

Lin Chen replied, "I have detoxification pills."

Lin Chen had previously obtained a piece of Buddha Heart Wood from the Donghua Ancestor and later gathered materials and refined a batch of Buddha Heart Pills.

This Buddha Heart Pill cannot help increase one’s power, but it can detoxify all poisons in the world, making it a holy item among detoxification pills.

Even though this miasma seemed very strong, Lin Chen guessed the Buddha Heart Pill could certainly detoxify or prevent poisoning.

Chu Yue nodded, "In that case, let’s give it a try. If it doesn’t work, we should retreat promptly. Don’t act recklessly."

"Alright!"

They each took a detoxification pill and descended through the mountain peak into the grey mist sea.

From an overhead view, the grey mist sea was deep and obscured, making things invisible. But once they actually entered the mist sea, they found that they could still see at least dozens of meters which gave them both a sigh of relief.

If they couldn’t see in the mist sea, how could they search?

After flying some distance and descending to the lowest part of the mountain peak, the mist became denser, the light dimmer, and a barely discernible unnerving smell filled the air.

Suddenly Chu Yue halted and pressed his temple, "This is bad!"

Lin Chen turned his head and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Chu Yue spoke solemnly, "The toxicity of this miasma is far more ferocious than anticipated. The detoxification pill I took can’t resist it. I’m already starting to feel a headache. I think we need to retreat now. Otherwise, if the poisoning gets worse, it may be difficult to save."

Lin Chen assessed himself and found everything in order. Although there seemed to be some unknown poison trying to disturb his body, the medicinal power of Buddha’s Heart Pill in his body could promptly eliminate this disturbance.

In fact, it was indeed a holy detoxification drug that could detoxify all poisons!

Lin Chen took out a Buddha Heart Pill and gave it to Chu Yue, "Take this."

Chu Yue took the Buddha Heart Pill, looked at it a few times, and his eyes suddenly brightened, "Is this the Buddha Heart Pill that can detoxify all poisons?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yep."

Chu Yue’s eyesight became quite complex.

The detoxification pill he took was certainly not as good as the Buddha Heart Pill, so he was already unable to withstand the poison in this miasma, but Lin Chen wasn’t affected at all.

Buddha’s Heart Pill is a holy detoxification drug. Although it’s not difficult to refine, its primary material Buddha Heart Wood is hard to come by.

A Buddha Heart Pill can save a life in critical times!

"This pill is too precious!"

Lin Chen laughed, "Isn’t the pill meant to be eaten? Isn’t it time to use it now? Eat it quickly. The longer you delay, the deeper the poisoning."

Chu Yue gritted his teeth, accepted the pill, and said, "Brother Lin, consider this as me owing you one."

Lin Chen laughed, "No need, you gave me the Dragon Roar, I didn’t say I owe you one. We both are straightforward men, let’s not bother with mere trifles."

"That’s different. I broke your sword. I should compensate!"

Chu Yue retorted, then felt that compared with Lin Chen, he indeed wasn’t as straightforward. He immediately put the Buddha Heart Pill into his mouth and laughed, "You gave me detoxification pill, aren’t you afraid I’ll compete with you for the Seven-color Spirit Rhinoceros Horn?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Think of it as me being too weak and wanting to find a powerhouse to collaborate with. Otherwise, how can I handle the disciples of Five Poison Hall by myself?"

Chu Yue scoffed at Lin Chen’s argument, too weak?

The White-faced Owl could only scare you, it couldn’t hurt you. And you’re calling yourself weak?

"Alright, let’s partner up. If we’re lucky and get the Seven-color Spirit Rhinoceros Horn, we each get a half. How about that?"

"Sure!"

The amount of Seven-colored Rhinoceros Horn required to refine the Nine-Turn Da Luo Pill isn’t much. The full horn could probably allow for ten batches of Nine-Turn Da Luo pill and still wouldn’t be used up. So, even if they split it in half, it would be enough!

If Chu Yue hadn’t mentioned the Seven-colored Jade Rhinoceros, Lin Chen wouldn’t have known, so on that point alone he owed Chu Yue a favor. Moreover, Chu Yue also gifted the Dragon Roar to Lin Chen. Even if it was compensation, it may as well have been another favor. So, Lin Chen didn’t hesitate to give him the Buddha Heart Pill.

Besides, Chu Yue had an innate Dao body, a Sword Spirit Body, Golden Immortal Strength. The combat power he could bring out was positively terrifying.

Teaming up with Chu Yue was a great deal for Lin Chen.
