Volume 1: Martial World Chapter 62 - Turning Calamity into Blessing

  Ye Wen only felt that his arm was no longer a part of him. When he touched it with his other hand, there was no sensation at all, which made him a bit worried.

  "Am I going to die from this snake venom?"

  Thinking that his heart was full of unfulfilled ambitions and yet he encountered such a misfortune, Ye Wen could only sigh silently "Could it be that my good luck has been used up?"

  Then he sat down by the side of the cold pool, and with a great effort he stirred up his whole heart and moved all his internal energy to the arm that had been bitten, hoping to force out all the poison.

  This kind of inner power usage is naturally learned from many schools, but anyone who can achieve this point is not a deep and profound inner power master, only in this way can all toxins be completely eliminated.

  Ye Wen knew that his internal strength was at most considered small success, and he wanted to rely solely on his internal energy to clear out the toxin completely. He was afraid that it would be difficult to achieve, so while he used his internal energy to defend against the toxin and prevent its spread, he also thought of a solution.

  This thought, the fruit that was thrown into his mouth by him happened to be swallowed by him. The not-so-much fruit pulp went into his stomach, and a cool air rose from his stomach. Ye Wen only felt that the air he breathed out was icy cold. At the same time, this cool air did not leave his body, but spread to his limbs, especially the poisoned arm. After the cool air spread to this place, Ye Wen found that his arm seemed to have recovered a little bit of sensation.

  This feeling was not obvious, and as the coolness dissipated, his arm returned to its original state. If Ye Wen hadn't been using his inner strength with all his heart, he might not have noticed this subtle change in his body's condition.

  "Could it be that this little fruit is just an antidote?"

  Thinking of the highly toxic substance that must have an antidote within a hundred steps, the snake that bit itself is clearly a descendant of the giant snake inside. Ye Wen didn't overlook the red ring pattern on the snake's body, and this place was also the lair of these snakes, so it wasn't surprising to find an antidote here.

  Thinking of this, Ye Wen opened his eyes and looked around.

  He sat down in this position, which was exactly where he had just picked the fruit, and didn't even need to move, stretching out his hand to pick a few more fruits.

  Ye Wen didn't hesitate, and immediately grabbed two more small fruits in his hand, then directly threw them into his mouth.

  "It's all or nothing this time!"

  If he guessed wrong, then it would still return to the previous situation of being locked in a stalemate with the snake venom. Moreover, because he needed to devote all his energy to defending himself, he was afraid that he wouldn't even have the chance to return to his sect and call for help. As soon as he made a move, his blood and energy would start circulating again, and he would immediately die from poisoning.

  If he was blocked, then he still had a way to save himself. Even if he couldn't immediately clear the snake venom, he could still snatch back his life. As long as he didn't die on the spot, there would eventually be a solution.

  The worst method is to bleed, anyway Ye Wen concentrated all the toxins in one arm, as long as the toxic blood in this arm is cleaned up, theoretically it can also save a life. It's just that there are no lifesaving tools now, and bleeding so casually will cause him to die from excessive blood loss even if the toxic blood is cleared.

  Fortunately, Ye Wen was not destined to die, and the small fruit was indeed the nemesis of the red line snake (Ye Wen's temporary name). As soon as the fruit entered his stomach, it would immediately turn into a cool energy that would spread throughout his limbs. When encountering the snake venom, this cool energy would rush forward with all its might to counteract the poison.

  Yewen found that this cool air seemed to be weak, and it would be consumed and dispersed after a short confrontation with the snake venom, while the snake venom still stubbornly defended its own territory, without any signs of retreat.

  Upon discovering this situation, Ye Wen continuously threw fruit into his own mouth while mobilizing the Quanzhen inner energy to constantly fight against the cold air and snake venom. As soon as he found the cold air was about to dissipate, another fruit would be thrown into his mouth.

  So, Ye Wen sat by the cold pool and spent his time with the snake venom! Fortunately, perhaps this generation was killed by him on the snake's territory, so nothing else came out, and also gave Ye Wen an environment to heal his wounds.

  As for the fruit that can detoxify Ye Wen, it is actually a small cold fruit nurtured by the icy cold energy of the Cold Pool being absorbed by the surrounding soil.

  In fact, at the temperature of the cold pool, the surrounding soil is difficult to grow plants, only this outermost place is different. Because the cold air has become very weak, a shrub-like plant with small fruits has grown, and the fruit itself is a collection of cold air, belonging to the extremely yin and cold things.

  Ordinary people who eat it would be in greater danger than jumping into an icy pool, because the fruit directly enters the body and the cold energy spreads out to attack the internal organs. Even if one has inner strength to protect their body, they will still likely suffer some harm from eating it. Of course, if one cultivates yin-cold attribute inner strength, this thing would be a great tonic.

  It's also because this thing is harmful and useless to most people, so the old man didn't mention it on the wooden board. At the same time, he wasn't afraid that Xu Xian would eat it, because as a young master of a noble family, he wouldn't casually eat random things - after all, the small cold fruit doesn't look particularly delicious or appetizing.

  However, Ye Wen was unfortunately poisoned by the snake's venom. This red-line snake is a creature born of yang fire, otherwise that big snake wouldn't have seen the bright red fruit and refused to leave its side. It's because the big snake realized that this thing would be greatly beneficial to itself, which is why it acted in such a way.

  As for its descendants, they are naturally the same as it. With a body full of snake venom, unmatched in power, ordinary people who get bitten will immediately die from toxic fire attacking their heart. Even those with deep internal strength can hardly withstand it for long. Only those with truly profound internal strength are not afraid of this snake venom, and that is indeed an extraordinary overbearingness.

  If Ye Wen hadn't inadvertently held a small cold fruit in his mouth, he would have probably died on the spot. How could he have remained calm and countered the snake venom? It was precisely the small cold fruit that he had initially held in his mouth that ensured the toxic fire didn't immediately attack his brain, causing him to lose consciousness, and thus he could only watch as the toxic fire spread throughout his body and killed him.

  Xiao Han's cold energy protected Ye Wen's brain, and after he swallowed it, it was the first time to walk throughout his body, clearing out a part of the poison fire that had already spread out. Adding to Ye Wen's reaction being timely, this allowed the fire poison to remain in his arm.

  Even with the help of such a suppressive object, Ye Wen couldn't clear out the fire poison for the time being. Later on, the cold air produced by Xiao Han also affected him. Now Ye Wen only felt an unusual discomfort all over his body, most parts were icy cold to the bone, but one arm was scorching hot, and as time passed, this situation became more and more severe. Ye Wen even suspected that he had actually died and was now suffering in hell.

  Opening his eyes again, Ye Wen felt extremely uncomfortable, but he still understood that if he didn't want to die, then Xiao Han was his only lifeline.

  She stretched out her hand once more, but all she felt were weeds and twigs. She groped around for a long time, but couldn't find any fruit, and her heart grew increasingly anxious.

  As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that it had unknowingly entered the night. The small cold fruits by his side had already been eaten clean by himself. Ye Wen's heart skipped a beat and secretly thought: "Could it be that my fate is exhausted?"

  Just as he was about to let out a long sigh, he suddenly felt a wave of light in front of his eyes. Only then did he remember that the Cold Pool was right in front of him. The small Cold Fruit grew on the edge of the Cold Pool, and its internal energy essence must have come from this pool. He needed the cold air to assist him now, so why rely on the fruit instead of using the pool? Wouldn't that be abandoning the fundamental for the trivial?

  Having struggled with fire poison for so long, he had already understood the properties of these two things. He cursed himself and was about to jump into the water.

  Just as he was about to dive in, he remembered the message on the wooden board and knew that the water in this pool was icy cold and extraordinary. If he didn't make some preparations, he feared that the fire poison would not be cleared, and the cold poison would enter his body again.

  So Ye Wen first activated the Quanzhen inner energy to protect his body's meridians and internal organs, then he jumped into the water. As soon as he entered the water, Ye Wen felt a chill that pierced to the bone, if not for him protecting his meridians and internal organs beforehand, he would have been injured by this cold air. Even though the pool water eliminated the fire poison, it was hard to avoid leaving behind a hidden illness.

  At the thought of cold air entering the body and causing hidden diseases, Ye Wen's first thought was of Zishan Longwang and her husband. The two had a decisive battle in the Cold Pool, but both ended up with illnesses as a result. Zishan Longwang was fine, but that unlucky old man of hers simply died on the spot.

  Thinking of this, Ye Wen carefully protected himself, not wanting to follow in the footsteps of that unlucky ghost, while using his remaining internal energy to guide the cold air into his body to find the evil fire poison.

  In fact, there was no need for Ye Wen to guide them. The principle of water and fire being incompatible made these cold airs search for the evil fire as soon as they entered the body. Moreover, because Ye Wen's entire body was soaked in water, the evil fire was attacked from all sides, and it was no longer indestructible like before. It was almost at a speed that Ye Wen could perceive that the cold air forced it out of his body.

  Ye Wen carefully manipulated his true energy to protect the area where the fire poison had been cleared, lest the tragedy of the cold poison taking over again occur as soon as the fire poison was sent away.

  After seeing the effectiveness of the pool water, Ye Wen was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that he wouldn't die today. He regained his energy and fought against the fire poison with renewed vigor. Although some trouble arose when a bit of fire poison remained, fortunately, the continuous flow of cold air became Ye Wen's reliance, forcing the fire poison out of his body, which then slowly dissipated in the water.

  The snake venom was completely eliminated, and Ye Wen finally let out a sigh of relief. However, he didn't directly come out of the pool water, but instead continued to circulate the Quanzhen Heart Method while maintaining his meditation posture, because he discovered that being in the pool water, due to the pressure of the cold air, the Quanzhen Heart Method was advancing at an astonishing speed.

  What's more important is that the icy water, though bone-chillingly cold, also kept his mind clear and sharp, so he didn't have to worry about falling into a state of madness due to his rapid cultivation, therefore Ye Wen hoped to take this opportunity to break through to an even higher level of cultivation.

  This cultivation lasted for a whole night and day, and when Ye Wen opened his eyes again, it was already the second day's dusk. Realizing he had been here for too long, Ye Wen immediately jumped out of the pool.

  This time, he didn't use too much force, but found that he jumped higher than usual. The true energy inside his body was surging and unstoppable, whether in intensity or density, it was far beyond what it used to be. This made him extremely delighted, Ye Wen knew that this time he had profited from misfortune, his internal strength cultivation had suddenly increased by a large margin.

  Today, I wildly added essence to everyone's previous posts! As a result, the tragedy has used up all the essence again... Everyone, remember to vote! Otherwise, there will be no essence to use next week.
