666: Little Sword and the Poison of the Piercing Machine

"Kid, this place shouldn't have been tampered with. Follow the method I just taught you to open the underground passage!"

"Let me make this clear: you can only take the things below that I agree to give you!"

Thousand Poison Venerable's voice rang in Ji Wuchang's ear.

Ji Wuchang nodded slightly and agreed to Thousand Poison Venerable's proposal without any hesitation.

To him, the Heavenly Dragon Profound Lotus ranked first, and the Nine-Leaf Immortal Plant ranked second.

As for other things, if he could get them, it would be his luck; if not, he wouldn't force it.

He moved his feet, stepping in a strange pattern. As expected, the patterns of the ten Vicious Beasts on the Formation didn't change at all.

He soon reached the center of the Formation, which looked no different from its surroundings.

He reached out his palm and pressed down on the very center.

As his palm pressed down, a creaking sound came from within the Formation, and the stone he was pressing sank into the ground.

The moment the stone sank, runes lit up on the ten Vicious Beasts that had been motionless.

A beam of light shot out from each of their eyes simultaneously.

Ten pairs of eyes—twenty beams of light—intertwined, carrying a terrifying aura.

Light crisscrossed all around Ji Wuchang, except for the spot where he stood, which remained untouched.

He had a premonition that even someone in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm would surely die if struck by this light; even an Astral Projection wouldn't be able to block it for a moment.

Ji Wuchang couldn't help but admire the ingenuity of the Formation Thousand Poison Venerable had set up.

Most importantly, the Formation also had a teleportation device. If it weren't opened in the manner Thousand Poison Venerable had established, the teleportation array below would activate!

This meant that the things he had hidden below would vanish instantly.

As for where those things would go, even Thousand Poison Venerable himself didn't know.

Just then, amidst the intertwining light, a passage appeared beneath Ji Wuchang's feet.

Before he could react, the passage swallowed Ji Wuchang whole.

Ji Wuchang now found himself inside a stone chamber.

The stone chamber was large, estimated to be around three hundred square meters, with rows of shelves arranged there.

Ji Wuchang saw that the shelves were filled with Jade Slips and scrolls, each wrapped in a layer of spiritual power Barrier!

His gaze swept over the scrolls and found writing on them.

"Poison Classic!"

"Great Canon of Ten Thousand Poisons!"

"Nine-Word Poison Burial True Incantation!"

Ji Wuchang couldn't help but cry out as he read the words on the scrolls.

"Kid, these are all the scriptures of the Poison Sect lineage of the Medicine King Valley. I secretly hid them back then and left copies outside."

"If you join my sect, you can read all these scriptures. Do you want to consider it?"

Just then, Thousand Poison Venerable's voice rang in Ji Wuchang's ear.

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuchang hurriedly shook his head. Although he occasionally used poison, he couldn't bring himself to associate with it all day long!

Thousand Poison Venerable wasn't surprised by Ji Wuchang's answer; he could already tell that this kid's background was anything but simple.

At that moment, the Heaven-Locking Coffin at Ji Wuchang's waist buzzed and vibrated, flying up on its own.

A devouring force emanated from the Heaven-Locking Coffin, followed by a vortex appearing on its side.

With the appearance of this suction, the surrounding Jade Slips and scrolls flew into the Heaven-Locking Coffin one after another.

Ji Wuchang took a glance but didn't watch further, instead looking around.

Naturally, there weren't just scrolls and Jade Slips here; there were also Spirit Weapons, Spirit Stones, and the like.

Ji Wuchang opened a chest, and his eyes instantly widened.

It turned out that this chest was full of Spirit Stones, and they were all High-Grade Spirit Stones. Each stone contained powerful spiritual energy.

His eyes darted around, and with a wave of his hand, he directly took two chests.

Each chest held about two hundred thousand stones. There were thirteen chests in total, and he took two.

"Kid, hand over the Spirit Stones! These are my life's savings, and they're all here."

Thousand Poison Venerable's voice immediately rang in Ji Wuchang's ear.

Ji Wuchang smiled slightly and said, "Old man, it's not that I want to take your Spirit Stones; I'm helping the Heaven-Locking Coffin take them."

"It requires me to provide one million Low-Grade Spirit Stones every month. I'm just a person at the fourth level of the dao severing realm; where would I get so many Spirit Stones?"

"These two chests of Spirit Stones are what I prepared for the Heaven-Locking Coffin."

As soon as Ji Wuchang spoke, the Heaven-Locking Coffin buzzed and vibrated instantly, as if cheering with joy.

Thousand Poison Venerable was instantly speechless. He could only hurry up and collect the things inside.

The reason he could collect them was due to the help of the Heaven-Locking Coffin's Artifact Spirit; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to at all.

Adhering to the philosophy that not taking advantage of a bargain makes one a fool, Ji Wuchang began to look around.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon a small sword, and he felt the hairs on his body stand on end. This small sword was not simple.

He reached out and grabbed the small sword, bringing it before him. He felt a terrifying killing intent erupt from within, threatening to completely submerge him.

Ji Wuchang's expression turned solemn, but then he frowned because he saw that the small sword was covered in cracks—at least a hundred of them.

The small sword gave off the feeling that it could shatter at any moment.

"Kid, you're getting a bargain. This is a Supreme Weapon I refined back then. I used it to slay two Supremes!"

"Unfortunately, it ultimately couldn't withstand that terrifying power and nearly shattered."

"I didn't need it later but couldn't bear to throw it away, so I just left it here."

"It can still strike one last time. If you detonate it, you should be able to heavily injure or even kill a powerhouse at the second level of the supreme realm!"

"Consider this a meeting gift from me!"

While Ji Wuchang was thinking, Thousand Poison Venerable's words rang out, causing Ji Wuchang's eyes to light up.

Although it could only be used once, it was definitely a good item.

Without any hesitation, his Divine Soul surged forth, leaving his Divine Soul mark on the small sword.

Ji Wuchang then put away the small sword and looked around, only to find that the surroundings were already empty!

Thousand Poison Venerable was quite fast; he was likely afraid that Ji Wuchang would snatch more things.

"Kid, you strike ruthlessly and without mercy, and you're not a hypocrite. You're quite to my liking."

"This is the Qianji Poison I refined back then. It is absolutely the most terrifying poison in the world. It's yours!"

"Do you know why I call it Qianji Poison?"

A porcelain bottle appeared before Ji Wuchang. It had also been on the shelf, but Thousand Poison Venerable hadn't taken it.

"Please enlighten me, Senior!"

Ji Wuchang spoke quickly; he was truly curious and didn't know if the name had any special meaning.

"Qianji Poison—pull one hair and the whole body moves. As long as the victim's internal spiritual power circulates, it instantly spreads throughout the entire body."

"To suppress it, only the power of Law will work."

"You will understand just how terrifying it is in the future!"

Thousand Poison Venerable's words drifted in the air as the Heaven-Locking Coffin rapidly shrank and returned to Ji Wuchang's waist.
