Chapter 935: Chapter 932 Ten Thousand Poisons Chapter 935: Chapter 932 Ten Thousand Poisons “The last time the Nine Brahmanic Lotus appeared in the world, I had just arrived in Luo Star City. It should have been about ninety-something years ago, yes, ninety-six years to be precise. As for where it appeared, this old man is not sure. I only heard that a great battle broke out near Redstone Island over the contention for those few Nine Brahmanic Lotuses,” the yellow-spotted old man clearly knew how to be sensible and related everything he knew without holding back.

Shen Luo nodded, then asked the old man a few more questions about the Nine Brahmanic Lotus before bidding farewell and leaving.

“Who would have thought that the Nine Brahmanic Lotus would be so well-known in the Luo Star Archipelago, where even the owner of a random shop knows so much information. It seems that finding it won't be difficult,” Yuan Qiu said with excitement in his tone.

By finding the Nine Brahmanic Lotus, he would be able to get half of the Medicine Immortal Collection.

The powerful Gu insects mentioned therein were of secondary importance to him, as he had barely come back to life by relying on his life-bound Gu to control his body, though his cultivation level could no longer advance. The Medicine Immortal Collection was the sacred text of the lineage of Gu Masters, and he hoped to find a way to break through his predicament within its pages.

“I hope so,” Shen Luo said softly.

After pondering on the street for a moment, he headed to another, larger shop. A moment later, he came out and walked toward a third shop.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed, and in the evening, Shen Luo arrived at a quiet inn in the city that catered exclusively to high-ranking cultivators and booked a top room.

After checking the room and finding no issues, he waved his hand and several streaks of white light landed in every corner of the room, solidifying into a white restriction.

After making these arrangements, Shen Luo finally sat down, though he didn't look very pleased.

Over the course of the day, he had inquired about the Nine Brahmanic Lotus everywhere. Not just the small shops, but he had also visited Qingyu Pavilion, White Cloud Residence, and Tianhuo Tower and spent quite a lot of Immortal jade to gather information. Unfortunately, he still couldn't find out the origin of the Nine Brahmanic Lotus.

Almost every place recounted the same details: every hundred or so years, several Nine Brahmanic Lotuses would appear out of thin air in the Luo Star Archipelago, and each time they appeared at different locations without any pattern. No one knew where the Nine Brahmanic Lotuses came from.

However, he did hear a rumor about the Luo Star Archipelago. In addition to The Four Great Merchant Alliances, there was a mysterious sect with strength that surpassed the alliances. It was said that the Nine Brahmanic Lotus was under the control of this mysterious sect, which distributed a few lotuses every hundred years. As for information about the sect itself, it was unknown to anyone.

“It seems the Nine Brahmanic Lotus is indeed not so easy to find. In my opinion, the origin of this treasure must be related to those Four Great Merchant Alliances,” Yuan Qiu said from within the Heavenly Book Space, looking even more upset.

Coming to the Luo Star Archipelago had been his idea, and if he couldn't find the Nine Brahmanic Lotus, it wouldn't just mean no hope for the Medicine Immortal Collection–his own reputation would also be thoroughly tarnished.

“Such confidential matters, even if we spend Immortal jade to buy information, it's highly likely that no one will be willing to tell us,” Bai Xiaotian said, stopping his research on the purple poison mist to discuss the matter of the Nine Brahmanic Lotus with Yuan Qiu.

His cultivation level had reached the Late Nascent Soul Stage, and Hua Sheng Temple had already prepared some auxiliary means for his advancement to Mahayana, but this was not a guarantee of absolute success. Naturally, he was also very much interested in such treasures as the Nine Brahmanic Lotus.

“If it really comes down to it, we can just capture an elder from The Four Great Merchant Alliances and interrogate them at our leisure. With Brother Shen's Pupil Technique combined with my Gu Techniques, I don't believe we can't get the answers,” Yuan Qiu said with a flash of ferocity in his eyes.

Bai Xiaotian stared at Yuan Qiu and secretly thought that it was no wonder this man dared to confront demons and fight his way up Mount Putuo; at the slightest disaccord, he was ready to abduct someone.

“There's no need for that. The waters of Luo Star City seem deep, and since we've just arrived, it'd be better to be cautious. There's still time, so let's continue searching for a few more days,” Shen Luo hastily interjected.

Yuan Qiu had blurted out those words in a moment of impatience and wasn't really planning to kidnap someone, so he dropped the subject.

After discussing for a while longer, the group ended their deliberations, each returning to their own matters.

Shen Luo considered other methods of finding the Nine Brahmanic Lotus for a while but came up with nothing. He shook his head and stopped thinking about it, deciding to rest with his eyes closed instead.

A moment later, he flipped his hand to take out six or seven storage magical tools, which belonged to Master Baoxiang, White Fan Youth, and others.

He had been too busy traveling to examine them before, but now that he had time, he needed to thoroughly investigate them.

A moment later, Shen Luo had examined the Storage Magical Tools of the five men with the surname Zhen.

All five were freelance cultivators with meager possessions and nothing of great value.

He shook his head, picked up the Storage Magical Tools of Master Baoxiang and the White Fan Youth, and his Divine Sense entered both simultaneously, finally revealing a trace of a smile on his face.

The origins of the two were extraordinary; the contents of their Storage Magical Tools were quite rich, including several thousand pieces of Immortal Jade alone, a few good Magical Treasures, and lots of precious materials.

“Eh, Phoenix Tail!” Shen Luo's eyes suddenly lit up, as he took out a fiery red Spirit Wood from Master Baoxiang's Storage Magical Tool that resembled a phoenix tail feather and was thus named. It was one of the main materials needed for the Earth-Attracting Thunder Talisman.

The main materials needed for the Earth-Attracting Thunder Talisman were three types: Purple Lightning Flower, Phoenix Tail, and Moon Star Child.

He had found the Purple Lightning Flower at Chaoyin Cave on Mount Putuo that day, and now he had acquired this Phoenix Tail, leaving only the final Moon Star Child and some auxiliary materials to find.

The Earth-Attracting Thunder Talisman was a Pseudo-Immortal Talisman with powerful might. According to the Classics of the Dreamland Jade Fox Tribe, it was no less powerful than a strike from a True Immortal Cultivator. In Dreamland, he might not need it, but for him in the real world, it was definitely a treasured item of last resort.

Shen Luo happily stored the Phoenix Tail and continued to search.

His eyebrows suddenly rose as he took out an object from the White Fan Youth's Storage Magical Tool, which was a fist-sized bead.

This bead was light purple all over, its texture was like jade but not jade, and there was a wave of Spiritual Power fluctuations within, looking quite extraordinary.

The White Fan Youth had stored this bead at the very bottom of his Storage Magical Tool and had sealed it with several Sealing Talismans, evidently cherishing it greatly.

“Could it be some sort of Magical Treasure?” Shen Luo injected his Mana into it, and the bead emitted a faint purple light, but beyond that, nothing else happened.

He examined the purple light but could not discern any special effects.

“Hmm, what is this?” Shen Luo looked toward the interior of the bead.

The purple light on the bead flickered, revealing two small characters within.

He increased the input of his Mana, and traces of Green Light emerged in his eyes as he activated his Xuan Yin Mystifying Pupil and finally made out the two small characters, which read “Ten Thousand Poisons.”

“Ten Thousand Poisons? Could this be a poison bead?” Shen Luo was startled and recalled encountering the Purple Poison Fog in the seabed cave, hurriedly stepping a few paces to the side.

Fortunately, the situation he anticipated did not occur, and his body showed no signs of being poisoned.

“Since it's not for administering poison, could it be an antidote?” Shen Luo murmured to himself, flipping his hand to store the bead into a certain spot within the Heavenly Book Space.

There, a large expanse of Purple Poison Fog was floating, but it was firmly restrained by the Golden Light within the space, preventing it from spreading.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Pearl appeared above the poison fog and slowly descended, making contact with the Purple Poison Fog soon after.

With a “hum,” the purple light on the bead was stimulated and suddenly became ten times brighter, forming a light circle about half a zhang in size around it.

Once the poison fog made contact with the light circle, it quickly dissipated, as if it had met its nemesis.
