347: Chapter 347 The Hundred Poisons Emperor, Serpent Scale Creation Pill

The next day!

In the pavilion, Mei Niang took Qing Yue to wander around Linhai City. Yan Xing and his group did not disturb them if there was nothing important, giving Hun Tiandi a rare moment of peace.

At that moment, an uninvited guest arrived at the elegant courtyard. It was an old man dressed in a hemp robe, with gray hair and very bright eyes. His aura was somewhat eerie.

He smiled and said, "This Emperor is finally going to have a disciple. It's truly difficult to take a student; I even have to help her find things!"

"However, it can be considered that she has agreed!"

The old man in the hemp robe was in a great mood. He looked at the courtyard and gently pushed the door open to enter.

"Eh? Why is it a young man?" the Poison Emperor said in surprise.

Walking in slowly, he saw that only Hun Tiandi was in the pavilion. He recognized the old man in the hemp robe at a glance.

Behind him, Tu Xingzi approached with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty, that is the Poison Emperor, a peak Nine-star Dou Huang expert. His poison techniques are monstrously powerful. Once, for revenge, he poisoned every single citizen of a city to death!"

Tu Xingzi quickly explained to Hun Tiandi.

He had seen him once from afar before, but he hadn't expected this eerie old man to have such a reputation.

The Poison Emperor? Poisoning an entire city? What a ruthless heart, what terrifying poison.

Truly worthy of being the Poison Emperor!

However, Hun Tiandi had seen this old man before. When he left the Tagor Desert and passed through the East Sea, he had seen a little girl riding a golden dragon in the ocean, protected by many flood dragons.

The Poison Emperor followed behind, chasing anxiously and pleading for the little girl to become his disciple.

In the end, the little girl ran away, and the Poison Emperor followed closely.

The Poison Emperor saw through Hun Tiandi's strength at a glance—a peak Nine-star Dou Ling. Such an ant-like cultivation.

Yet he was protected by a group of experts whose demeanor made them look like subordinates.

"Senior Poison Emperor, we meet again!" Hun Tiandi stood up, revealed a smile, and invited the Poison Emperor to sit.

One sentence? It completely dazed the Poison Emperor.

Have I met you? So familiar!

"Who are you?" The Poison Emperor frowned slightly and said coldly.

"A few months ago on the East Sea, this junior had the honor of seeing Senior. The golden dragon stirred the sea, and the Poison Emperor chased the group of dragons to save his beloved disciple. I wonder how your beloved disciple is doing now?"

Hun Tiandi smiled.

Although it wasn't the truth, it was pleasant to hear, and the Poison Emperor found it very agreeable.

The Poison Emperor then remembered. Although he didn't recall Hun Tiandi, he did remember the Earth Emperor; his strength was right there!

"I came looking for you because I heard that you auctioned ten-thousand-year stone milk previously. I wonder if that's true!" The Poison Emperor got straight to the point.

Hearing this, Hun Tiandi smiled slightly. A master of poison—this kind of rare talent could not be let go.

The current Hun Tiandi was gathering resources from all over the world. He didn't want weapons, gold coins, soldiers, or natural treasures.

He wanted talent!

What is most precious in the world? The things that cannot be bought with money are the most precious!

Weapons can be purchased, natural treasures can be bought, and soldiers can be recruited. No matter how expensive, they have a price, but talent is priceless.

"Oh? Senior needs ten-thousand-year stone milk!" Hun Tiandi said with a smile.

"Yes, yes!" The Poison Emperor nodded.

"This is Spirit Wine brewed by this junior. Senior, please have a taste!" Hun Tiandi took out the Spirit Wine and filled the Poison Emperor's cup.

The Poison Emperor looked curious. He picked up the wine cup and, not fearing poison, swallowed it directly.

"Spirit Wine, not bad!"

"It's good that Senior likes it. If Senior leaves later, take some with you to satisfy your cravings!" Hun Tiandi said indifferently.

"Sensible... Sigh!" The Poison Emperor praised, but his expression suddenly became lonely.

"Does Senior have something on your mind? Perhaps this junior can help?"

Hearing this, the Poison Emperor's face darkened. Looking at Hun Tiandi's sincere gaze, he retracted his sharp edge.

"Besides looking for ten-thousand-year stone milk, that girl also wants to find something else—her father's remains. But the Fighting Qi Continent is so vast, where should we look?"

The Poison Emperor said helplessly.

"As long as Senior Yuan Yi, City Lord, is willing, there is strength in numbers. I can send people to search immediately and inform Senior once I have news of the whereabouts!" Hun Tiandi said.

The Poison Emperor looked at Hun Tiandi strangely and said, "Don't you want to know who that person is?"

"What if I know? The world is vast. If it's just Senior alone, to put it bluntly, I'm afraid you won't find them in your entire life!"

Hun Tiandi smiled.

The Poison Emperor naturally knew this was the truth!

"Although this Emperor kills without blinking, I clearly distinguish between gratitude and grudges. You suit my temperament!"

"This is... the ten-thousand-year stone milk and Spirit Wine!" Hun Tiandi turned his hand and took out a jade bottle, placing it on the table.

The Poison Emperor quickly grabbed it, opened it to take a sniff, and felt the pure energy. His eyes flashed with brilliant light.

He looked at Hun Tiandi with a complex expression. Everything had gone too smoothly!

With a wave of his sleeve, he stored it in his storage ring.

As he was about to walk out of the courtyard, he said, "One year from now, I will come find you!"

"Alright!" Hun Tiandi nodded.

Then, the Dou Qi Wings on his back moved, and he swept toward the distant sky. Hun Tiandi revealed a mysterious smile. The remains Tian Xin requested to find were the remains of Prince Tian Xuan.

However, now was not the time to bring them out.

"Your Majesty, why did you give him the ten-thousand-year stone milk?" Tu Xingzi asked in confusion. Yesterday, a single drop of ten-thousand-year stone milk had not only healed his injuries but also promoted him by one star.

"This kind of poison master—if we can't be friends, we shouldn't be enemies!"

Hun Tiandi said indifferently. The reason he helped the Poison Emperor was that his plan wasn't that simple. Through this old poison expert, he saw a massive power.

The Dragon Clan!

That little girl riding the dragon in the past, whom he had chased to take as a disciple—although it was just a glimpse, Hun Tiandi kept it in his heart.

Half a month ago, the mysterious Tian Xin and the Little Golden Dragon were imprisoned. That strange constitution was all part of his plan.

But was the girl the Poison Emperor spoke of really her?

To recruit someone, one must provide value!

Ten days later, the elegant courtyard.

"Liu Ling, how many medicinal ingredients are still missing for refining the snake scale creation pill?" Hun Tiandi inquired.

"In reply to Your Majesty, we are still missing three main ingredients: star grass, Flood Dragon essence blood, and black jade lotus!"

star grass lives beside cold pools, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. Its entire body is purple, flowing with a faint purple light. On every leaf, star patterns grow, which are very beautiful.

It is rumored that if this star grass grows nine leaves, it can develop intelligence.

Flood Dragon essence blood comes from an anomaly among giant pythons. Half-flood-dragon, half-snake, its essence blood contains traces of dragon qi and is extremely rare.

Furthermore, magical beasts like the Flood Dragon have terrifying strength, being King-level magical beasts from birth.

Containing dragon qi? Hun Tiandi pondered slightly. Could Purple Dragon essence blood be used as a substitute? Speaking of essence blood containing dragon qi, how could Flood Dragon essence blood compare to Purple Dragon essence blood?

"See if this drop of essence blood can substitute for the Flood Dragon essence blood?" Hun Tiandi took out a jade bottle containing a drop of Purple Dragon blood.

Roar!

After Liu Ling took it, he opened the bottle cap. Immediately, a heaven-shaking dragon roar sounded, vibrating through the courtyard, emitting pure dragon prestige and dense dragon qi.

"This is... dragon blood. Naturally, it can substitute for the Flood Dragon essence blood!" Liu Ling made his judgment.

He was shocked in his heart. Where did His Majesty obtain the essence blood of such a powerful magical beast?

The black jade lotus grows in places of baleful qi. It is only a little over a foot tall, shaped like a lotus, and entirely black, as if carved from ink jade.

It is an extremely rare medicinal ingredient that grows by absorbing baleful qi. One is rarely seen; it's simply too rare!

However, the medicinal properties of this black jade lotus are very intense and extremely overbearing.
