บท 23: Three Strange Poisons
After a long silence, Ye Dong gathered his courage and asked, "Grandpa Liu, there is always a solution to every problem. By the way, do you know the names of these poisons? I can also keep an eye out. Although I may not be of much help, it's always better to have more people thinking of solutions, which gives us more hope."
Grandpa Liu looked up and, after gazing at Ye Dong for a while, said, "Although I don't know the names of these poisons, I have analyzed that they are composed of a mixture of three strange poisons. If we can find antidotes for these three strange poisons, perhaps there will be hope!"
"What are these three strange poisons?"
"The King of Hundred Poisons, Thousand-Year Coffin Moss, and Golden Scale Centipede Saliva!"
Although Ye Dong had never heard of any of these three poisons, he could tell just from their names that they were indeed strange poisons. He made sure to remember all three names carefully and said, "Grandpa Liu, since the condition of Miss Xiang'er is not suitable for wandering around, why don't you temporarily bring her to stay at our house for a while? We can leave when she feels better."
"Xiang'er's poison could flare up at any time, and I also need to search for antidotes everywhere, so I must keep her with me."
Ye Dong nodded; indeed, there was no other choice.
"If I find an antidote, how should I inform you?"
"After you get any news, go to a drugstore called Lingcao Tang in Fengxia City and find the owner. Just show him this token, and he will understand."
As he spoke, Grandpa Liu handed Ye Dong a three-inch square piece of jade, which was emerald green and engraved with a luxuriant willow tree.
"I understand!" Ye Dong took the jade token and placed it close to him without much thought.
At that moment, a groan came from inside the house, and Grandpa Liu immediately rushed out, with Ye Dong following closely behind.
When they entered the room, Xiang'er had already regained consciousness and sat up. Grandpa Liu held her wrist, closed his eyes for a moment, then sighed and said, "She's fine for now."
Xiang'er seemed to be well aware of her condition and smiled faintly, "Grandpa, I'm fine. I'm used to it. I must have embarrassed Brother Ye."
Seeing Xiang'er's face with scars but still smiling, Ye Dong felt a sudden pang of heartache for her, though it quickly passed. Seeing that Xiang'er was fine, Ye Dong knew it was time for him to leave. It had been three days; his family must be worried sick about him. Just as he was about to say goodbye, Grandpa Liu spoke up first, "Ye little brother, I have something to trouble you with!"
Ye Dong was taken aback and swallowed the words he was about to say, "Please, go ahead, Grandpa Liu."
"I want to leave for a few days to gather some herbs, so could you please stay and take care of Xiang'er for a while?"
Seeing Grandpa Liu's hopeful eyes, Ye Dong couldn't say no and agreed.
So, Ye Dong temporarily stayed here. Although it was said that he was taking care of Xiang'er, in reality, it was Xiang'er who was taking care of him!
When Ye Dong had nothing to do, he would seize the time to cultivate, wanting to improve his cultivation as soon as possible to avoid being caught off guard by the skilled fighters of the Lin and Luo families again.
During Ye Dong's cultivation, Xiang'er would not disturb him but quietly watch by his side. She would prepare delicious meals at mealtime, and they would eat together after Ye Dong finished his training.
During the first few days, Ye Dong was a bit uncomfortable, but he gradually got used to it and even began to enjoy this kind of life.
Although it was called cultivation, Ye Dong dared not invest too much into it. After all, this was the Tiandu Forest, full of dangers. Although there was the Qi Shadow Illusion Wood Array set up by Grandpa Liu, Xiang'er also mentioned that there could be demonic beasts wandering in. In case he encountered a demonic beast during a critical moment of cultivation, it could easily lead to demonic influence or even endanger his life.
Therefore, most of the time, Ye Dong was repeatedly studying "Blood Sea Battle Heaven Dao," which gave him a more detailed understanding of this miraculous technique, especially regarding the distribution and quantity of acupoints in the human body.
Although Ye Dong had learned when he first encountered "Blood Sea Battle Asura" that there were a total of 720 acupoints in the human body, it seemed like a lot, but there were over 300 paired acupoints, symmetrically distributed from the center of the body. For example, the Shangyang acupoint Ye Dong had just opened was found on both hands, while the rest were single acupoints.
In addition, there was a distinction between primary and secondary acupoints.
Out of the 720 acupoints, there were 108 vital acupoints, which were further divided into 72 main life points and 36 fatal points!
The sequence of opening acupoints had no special requirements. Since vital acupoints were scattered throughout the body, one could start by opening regular acupoints, like the Shangyang acupoint Ye Dong had opened, then proceed to the 72 main life points, and finally the 36 fatal points.
Although the technique offered some suggestions, it suggested opening vital acupoints last because opening vital acupoints was far more difficult than opening regular ones. Instead of spending too much time on vital acupoints, it was better to use that time to open regular acupoints first.
In short, once all acupoints were opened, the gathered Qi would form the Sea of Acupoints, allowing one to break through the heavens and enter the supreme realm.
Ye Dong's current method of opening acupoints was the second one. He divided his entire body into several areas and opened all acupoints in each area simultaneously. After one area was completed, he would move on to the next, finding it more straightforward and less troublesome.
Furthermore, Ye Dong had gained a clearer understanding of the relationship between "Blood Sea Battle Heaven Dao" and Ling Yin.
Although he could brand eight-fold Ling Yin within his dantian in a few hours, the actual strength he could exert was not significantly related to Ling Yin; rather, it was closely related to his acupoints.
Ling Yin acted as a gateway, granting corresponding abilities. For example, the sign of a six-fold Ling Yin was the externalization of Qi, and a sign of a nine-fold Ling Yin was the Qi taking shape.
Before entering this gateway, despite having immense strength, Ye Dong could not condense Qi into any shape no matter how hard he tried.
However, once he passed through this gateway, if, for example, among cultivators of the same realm, they could exert a strength of ten, then because Ye Dong had both Shangyang acupoints and dantian, two places for absorbing and storing Qi, his strength could be twenty!
That was why Ye Dong could easily disable the dantians of two eight-fold Ling Yin experts.
If Ye Dong
opened one more acupoint, his strength would increase to thirty.
In other words, even if he maintained the state of an eight-fold Ling Yin, as more acupoints were opened, his strength would continue to grow, rendering the realm of Ling Yin irrelevant.
In other words, among cultivators of the same realm, Ye Dong's strength would be several times that of others. Moreover, this did not include the additional stacking of power after using battle techniques!
However, this did not mean that Ye Dong could completely disregard the cultivation of Ling Yin. After all, only by cultivating a ten-fold Ling Yin could one condense the mortal body and enter the Mortal Realm.
Only by condensing the mortal body could one truly enter the door of cultivation. Ye Dong was very curious about how powerful the experts in the Mortal Realm were.
So, Ye Dong settled down in the depths of the Tiandu Forest.
