162: Chapter 162 Poison Dragon Cliff, Ten Thousand Year Snow Valley Ginseng

On the green stone by the water pool, Hun Tiandi sat cross-legged, eyes closed in meditation. Waking up a day later, he exhaled a breath of relief and flipped his hand to take out the map of Fallen God Stream.

Deep within the Fallen God Stream lay a valley perpetually shrouded in poison gas and miasma. It was vast, teeming with poisonous insects and beasts, and incredibly toxic. Each one was extremely ferocious; anyone who entered risked being injured by the poisonous creatures within.

One's body would immediately be corroded by the intense toxins, and some of the lethal poisons were enough to kill even a Dou Zong. It was home to countless poisonous herbs, toxic treasures, and strange venomous insects.

It had always been a deadly place where no living thing should tread. Unless absolutely necessary, no one would enter the cliff, and the bones piled up within were countless. This cliff was called Poison Dragon Cliff!

"Teacher, do we really have to go to Poison Dragon Cliff?" Hun Tiandi asked, looking down at the map with a solemn expression.

"I left some things inside back in the day. Retrieving them will be of great benefit to both your strength and mine." Elder Dan floated in mid-air, his gaze profound as he looked up at the sky.

Hun Tiandi pondered for a moment and nodded. He would never pass up an opportunity to improve his strength. "I will make arrangements and leave for Poison Dragon Cliff immediately..."

Hun Tiandi stood up resolutely and flew out of the valley. An hour later, he landed in the valley where Liu Ling was refining medicine.

"Greetings, Master." Liu Ling, who was refining medicine in front of the alchemy furnace, sensed someone appear and immediately opened his cold eyes.

"Where is Yan Xing?" Hun Tiandi asked, scanning his surroundings.

"Yan Xing has gone out to cultivate with General Ye Wudi, and Ye Lingxi has yet to come out of seclusion..." Liu Ling replied quickly.

"There are some rare poisonous herbs deep within this Fallen God Stream. I need to go out for a few days to gather spirit herbs. You all stay here and cultivate well. Furthermore, I have already sent people to investigate information from the outside world; do not leave Fallen God Stream unless necessary..."

Upon his return, Hun Tiandi gathered Liu Ling, smiled, and briefly explained his departure. Liu Ling nodded in acknowledgement.

Hun Tiandi then left the valley and disappeared.

Around Poison Dragon Cliff, even magical beasts avoided the area from afar. Not a blade of grass grew, and it was devoid of life, appearing extremely desolate. Normally, a year could pass without a single person appearing here.

Today, at the entrance of Poison Dragon Cliff, a youth in a green robe stood imposingly before the valley.

"So this is Poison Dragon Cliff?" Hun Tiandi looked toward the valley. He saw a massive valley that resembled a coiling true dragon, radiating an inexplicable pressure. Wisps of toxic mist and miasma permeated the entire valley.

Ordinary people would not even be able to see clearly upon entering; the air was filled with a fishy stench mixed with strange, eerie fragrances.

"Legend has it that during the ancient era, a powerful Nine-Headed Poison Dragon Emperor existed. Each of its dragon heads carried one of the most terrifying poisons in the world. Even experts at the Dou Sheng level had to flee for their lives when facing it..."

"When it emerged, it poisoned everything for ten thousand miles, and countless people lost their lives. In the end, it provoked the experts of the ancient tribes to take action, and it took the fall of eight Dou Sheng-level experts to finally kill it." Elder Dan's gaze was profound, his tone filled with admiration.

Hearing this, Hun Tiandi felt his soul tremble. Good heavens, the strength of this Nine-Headed Poison Dragon Emperor was truly terrifying. He had once stood at the peak of the continent, but hearing the information Elder Dan provided still left him somewhat shocked.

"Indeed. The miasma and poison gas in this Poison Dragon Cliff are too dense. Even an ordinary Dou Zong would be continuously corroded by the poison gas upon entering. I fear that by the time they reached the deepest part, they would be reduced to a pile of white bones."

"Heh heh heh, if Hao Meili were cultivating here, relying on the peculiarity of her Ten Thousand Poison Body, her strength would surely skyrocket..."

Hun Tiandi looked at the valley before him, his expression changing slightly.

"The poison gas and miasma here are extremely fierce. I don't know how many tens of thousands of years they have accumulated, nor do I know how many types of poisons are intertwined here... Let's go!" Elder Dan said solemnly. He waved his large sleeve, and a ball of purple flame swirled out, enveloping them both.

Having said that, he did not pause his footsteps for even a moment. He did not retreat because of the countless poisonous gases within Poison Dragon Cliff, but walked resolutely toward the valley.

The moment they crossed into Poison Dragon Cliff, they immediately saw the poison in the air, visible to the naked eye, surging toward Hun Tiandi and his companion as if it had smelled something delicious.

"Sss... sss..." The moment the poison gas and miasma touched the flames, they immediately emitted a hissing sound, spewing white smoke and giving off a pungent, fishy stench.

"What domineering poison..." Hun Tiandi, wrapped in the Ziwei Heavenly Fire, gasped as he watched this scene.

As they ventured deeper into Poison Dragon Cliff, they gazed at the precious treasures that could be seen everywhere. Heaven Frost Flowers, Corpse-Rotting Grass, Heaven Poison Stones, Poison Corals, Red Poison Fruit...

The periphery of the valley was overgrown with all kinds of poisonous grasses, flowers, and countless lethal items. They were colorful and bright, appearing incredibly dazzling, yet each of these items could claim a life at any moment.

"Hiss..." At this moment, a terrifying fishy gust of wind swept toward Hun Tiandi. Within the fishy wind, a terrifying pitch-black light struck like lightning toward his neck.

"Careful..." Elder Dan warned in time.

Hun Tiandi's eyes turned cold. The abi sword instantly appeared in his right hand. With a flick of his wrist, a brilliant blue sword light flashed through the air.

"Puchi..." As the sharp sword light flashed, the pitch-black streak was severed instantly, cut in two in the blink of an eye, and fell to the ground.

"A Man Black Snake King?" Elder Dan reacted instantly. He had intended to make a move, but was beaten to it by the quick-reacting Hun Tiandi, who had killed it with one sword strike.

The toxicity of this Man Black Snake King was quite potent. Once bitten, one would immediately feel limp and weak, followed by the drying up of blood and qi, confusion, and finally dissolution into a puddle of thick liquid.

"Poison Dragon Cliff is truly not a benevolent place." Hun Tiandi sighed inwardly.

However, he had no intention of retreating. The two continued forward, killing countless poisonous insects and beasts along the way.

The most dangerous encounter was a Black Gold Blood Tiger guarding a high-grade treasure. It was covered in overwhelming poison, making it the most dangerous moment Hun Tiandi had faced since entering Poison Dragon Cliff.

"Hahaha, it's actually a ten-thousand-year Snow Bone Ginseng. It is white throughout, shaped like ginseng, with fine veins on its surface, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance." Elder Dan stared at the Snow Bone Ginseng and laughed excitedly. This ten-thousand-year Snow Bone Ginseng was the main ingredient used to refine the bone-growing blood-melting pill.

If this were in the Central Plains outside, let alone a ten-thousand-year Snow Bone Ginseng, even one that was a hundred years old would attract Dou Zun experts to fight over it at an auction, as it was extremely valuable.

In fact, when he had purchased the golden blood ginseng from Liu Changfeng of Furong Pavilion in Tianhuang City, it had only been fifty years old.

A ten-thousand-year golden blood ginseng could be used to refine a Ninth Grade Pill... He had seen a pill in the alchemy canon that surpassed the seventh-grade bone-growing blood-melting pill.

"Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill: Golden Skin and Jade Bone Pill. This pill forged an even stronger Golden Skin and Jade Bone body. Once the soul body could perfectly merge with it, the subsequent benefits would be unimaginable."

"However, this required medicinal herbs with very high age requirements—at least ten thousand years. Once Ye Lingxi comes out of seclusion, I will have her start cultivating the fifty-year-old golden blood ginseng I have on hand."
