Ch111 - Refining the Antidote

Edited by Zaki

Hearing Liu Mufeng’s words, the village chief and several Spiritual Master Realm cultivators also released their soul power to check the situation. Their faces went pale as soon as they realized the dire situation.

“Dashan, quick, tell the sailors to turn around. Let’s take a detour.” Looking at Jiang Dashan beside him, the village chief immediately decided to change the route.

“Okay, I’ll go right now!” Nodding, Jiang Dashan turned around and left in a hurry.

“Mufeng, how did you know that the four people over there were craftsmen?” Looking at his partner, Jiang Xu asked curiously.

“I saw that the four of them had Beast Fire on them, and they got into trouble with the Stone Fish on the bottom of the sea, so I guessed that they should be craftsmen.” This was just Liu Mufeng’s guess based on the scene.

“Oh, I understand now. They must be craftsmen then.” According to what Mufeng said, it was either an Alchemist or a Craftsman who could refine Beast Fires. Then looking at the current scenario it would be a Craftsman, because alchemists were protected and it was impossible for them to come to such a place and dive into the bottom of the sea by themselves to look for spiritual plants.

Glancing at his lover, Liu Mufeng looked at the village chief. “Village Chief, you take the group and leave here immediately. I’ll go to the sea to take a look.”

“Ah? Alchemist Liu, that’s too dangerous. This Stone Fish is covered in poisonous thorns. If you get stabbed, you will die in an instant.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the old village chief said worriedly.

“It’s alright, I won’t go near. I just want to check the situation.” With that, Liu Mufeng took out his black gloves and a headgear, and wrapped all his exposed skin.

“Mufeng, I’ll go with you.” Looking at his lover, Jiang Xu wanted to accompany him.

“Okay.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng took out another pair of black gloves and headgear and gave them to Jiang Xu to put on. These gloves and headgear were made from a very special kind of beast skin after fumigating it with spiritual plants, it made them poison insulating.

When the two were ready, they jumped directly into the sea, and the village chief couldn’t stop them even if he wanted to.

When they reached the sea, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu both swam quickly towards the front.

“XiaoXu, later you follow behind to protect me. Remember, do not touch the Stone Fish, whether it is dead or alive. If you encounter one that attacks you, you have to attack from afar. Don’t get close, don’t get within five meters of the Stone Fish. Understand?”

“Oh, I understand now.” Nodding, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding.

“With the corpse of the Stone Fish, I can not only refine the antidote, but I can also refine the poison. With this poison, we can use it as a trump card. It is a great weapon to deal with cultivators and demon beasts.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xu froze, and then nodded his head. “The poison of the Stone Fish, is it more powerful than the Withered Bone Grass?” Although Jiang Xu didn’t know much about this Stone Fish, he saw that when Mufeng and others realized the fish was actually Stone Fish, their faces had turned very ugly. He guessed this kind of fish beast must be a very powerful beast.

“Each has its own merits, but the poison of the Stone Fish is better and can be used against cultivators of the Spiritual King realm and the Spiritual Emperor realm. The level of the Withered Bone Grass is not quite enough. It would be barely enough to deal with the Spiritual King Realm. Against the Spiritual Emperor realm, it would not be useful at all.”

“It’s so powerful!” Jiang Xu’s face turned pale when he heard that this poison could even kill a cultivator in the Spiritual Emperor Realm. Spiritual Emperor Realm – it was the fifth-level cultivation realm! Even a fifth level cultivator could be killed with this poison?It was too fearsome, right?

“En.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng continued to swim forward with Jiang Xu.

Not long after, Liu Mufeng saw the corpse of a Stone Fish floating in the seawater. To tell the truth, the shape of the Stone Fish was extremely terrifying, and its appearance was extremely ugly, each one looked like a stone. If one didn’t look closely enough, they would think that it was a piece of stone floating in the sea.

In fact, the body of a Stone Fish was very small, only the size of two palms of an adult man, but their toxicity was very strong. Far more dangerous than the three-meter-long yellowfin tuna. There were 12 to 14 sharp needle-like spines on the dorsal spine of the Stone Fish’s crest, which could easily penetrate and pierce the soles of feet of the cultivators, causing people to be quickly poisoned and be in severe pain until death.

Swimming over, Liu Mufeng took out a special storage ring and began to collect the bodies of those Stone Fishes. Jiang Xu, on the other hand, looked at the situation around him with a wary expression and followed his lover closely, for fear that there would be a living Stone Fish that would suddenly attack them.

Because the poison of the Stone Fish was too severe, Liu Mufeng did not dare to get too close to the battlefield between the cultivators and the Stone Fishes. He just secretly picked up the bodies of 12 Stone Fishes floating in the sea directly into his special storage ring, and swam back to the fishing boat with his partner as soon as he was done.

After returning to the fishing boat, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu returned directly to their cabins. Jiang Xu set a barrier in the room, and Liu Mufeng immediately entered the bracelet dimension to refine the antidote.

Stone Fishes came in packs, and they were a bunch of hot-tempered beasts. Once someone provoked them, they would continue to attack and not let anyone leave the place alive. It was either they died or the people around the area died. Therefore, in this case, the people on the fishing boat were very likely to be implicated by the four cultivators and become the target of being attacked by the Stone Fishes. Therefore, Liu Mufeng needed to refine the antidote as soon as possible to ensure the safety of his lover and himself.

An hour later…

Looking at his lover who finally appeared in front of him, Jiang Xu secretly let out a sigh of relief. “Has the antidote been refined?”

“En, I refined antidotes in 5 furnaces. A total of thirty pills.” Saying that, Liu Mufeng took out a small porcelain bottle and stuffed it to his lover.

Taking it over, Jiang Xu took a look at it and saw that it was five top grade pills.

“Mufeng, let’s go out and have a look.” Putting the pills away in his storage ring, Jiang Xu urged anxiously.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing his lover’s expression was not right, Liu Mufeng raised his eyebrows involuntarily.

“The four people came to the ship’s deck. They attracted the Stone Fishes over as well. Now, everyone is on the deck trying to kill the Stone Fishes. Only the two of us have not yet joined the fight.” Speaking of this, Jiang Xu couldn’t help frowning. He felt that those cultivators were too bad; dragging innocent people into their fight.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng’s face changed greatly. “Let’s go out and see.”

“Okay!” Jiang Xu removed the barrier and walked out of the cabin with Liu Mufeng.

At this moment, the deck was already a scene of chaos. Everywhere on the deck were the corpses of Stone Fishes and a few fishermen’s bodies. The fishermen who had died, had all died of poisoning, and hence their corpses had turned black in color and looked very hideous.

Three men and one woman, four strangers standing on the bow deck of the boat were launching a ferocious attack on the Stone Fishes. On the other side, the village chief also led the fishermen on the stern deck to fight together.

Arriving at the stern, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu checked the situation on the village chief’s side and found that several cultivators were also injured, but they should have eaten antidote pills and other medicines to suppress the toxicity. Therefore, they had not immediately died due to poisoning. However, ordinary detoxification pills could only detoxify ordinary poisons, and could not detoxify the poison of Stone Fish at all. Therefore, even taking detoxification pills could only delay the poisoning effect, and could not truly detoxify the Stone Fish poison.

“Alchemist Liu, you are here. We have some people who are poisoned.” Seeing Liu Mufeng arrive, the village chief’s eyes lit up.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng immediately took out ten low-grade antidote pills and handed them over to the village chief. “Village Chief, bring this medicine pill to everyone, let the people take one if they are in the Spiritual Master Realm and half a pill for those who are in the Spirit Mortal Realm, hurry up!”

“Okay!” Nodding, the village chief took the medicine pills and immediately ran to rescue the poisoned people.

After taking Liu Mufeng’s pills, many of the poisoned cultivators felt the pain in their bodies slowly lessen. The poison that was suppressed within their bodies also slowly detoxified.

Seeing Liu Mu Feng and Jiang Xu appear and seeing that the poisoned people could be cured, the morale of the fishermen in the fishing boat increased greatly and they fought more bravely. The fishermen happily killed the fishes. The four cultivators also used various magical weapons and tools and smashed talismans without any concerns about money. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the more than 300 Stone Fishes that followed the four cultivators were finally wiped out.

Slumped on the deck, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The bodies of the Stone Fishes were poisonous, so the fishermen did not dare to touch the corpses. Liu Mufeng asked everyone if he could use the fishes as the payment and compensation for the antidote pills he had provided earlier. No one had any objection, and gave all the spoils to Liu Mufeng.

Liu Mufeng put on gloves and a mask, and immediately began to collect the part of the Stone Fishes killed by the fishermen on the deck. Liu Mufeng was very happy with his loot. He had collected a total of 168 stonefish corpses. He carefully put them away in the storage ring.

“Do you have an antidote in your hands?” Wen Qing asked suspiciously when he walked over and looked at Liu Mufeng and the others.

“This Senior, we are just ordinary fishermen, and we don’t have any antidote. The medicinal pill belongs to Alchemist Liu. You can buy it from Alchemist Liu.” Looking at Wen Qing, the village chief said respectfully.

Hearing this, Wen Qing looked at Liu Mufeng who was beside him. “Are you an alchemist?”

“Yes, I am a third-level alchemist. I can only refine third-level and lower-level medicinal pills. Senior is in the Spiritual King Realm, and third-level medicinal pills may not work for you.” Looking at Wen Qing, Liu Mufeng responded without being condescending.

“This ……” Hearing this, Wen Qing’s face twisted for a moment as he looked at the injury on his leg. After thinking for a moment, he once again looked at Liu Mufeng. “I want three pills.”

“Yes, three thousand spirit stones for one.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng made a direct bid.

“En.” In response, Wen Qing took out nine thousand spirit stones and handed them to Liu Mufeng. Liu Mufeng gave the other party three high-grade pills.

Accepting them, Wen Qing swallowed the three pills directly. Immediately, spiritual power melted the medicinal pills in his stomach. Feeling that the severe pain of the wound was slowly easing, Wen Qing felt happy. Waiting for a few more moments, seeing that his wound was no longer flowing black blood, he revealed a satisfied smile. He then turned around and left.
