Chapter 2302 Cursed Tears And Potent Juice
The Black Hex Raven Tears seemed like a rather potent material now that Lin Mu understood more about it.
Though that didn't mean he understood everything about it.
"Wait, if they curse everything, how do we store it?" Lin Mu saw the first problem.
"In order to prevent the effect of the Black Hex Raven Tears from spreading, they are to be stored in a special container that has misfortune warding seals on it." Xukong answered. "Though hopefully, if you get it from the offering hall it is already stored in that manner." He added.
"If it is, it'll be good. But it's not a surety." Lin Mu said as he looked at the price of the Black Hex Raven Tears. "Plus it is quite expensive too… Sixty Eight Million credits."
"It'll work good on the Chimera Plant. Even if it has tough defenses, it cannot block the Dao of Misfortune." Xukong said with confidence.
"But does that mean the defenses will be weakened?" Lin Mu asked. "Or just that the Chimera plant will have bad luck?" he was not clear about that.
"Depending on how its utilized, the Black Hex Raven Tears will allow you to strike the weakest point of the Chimera Plant. And when you do, the misfortune will start affecting the Chimera Plant, making it have various issues.
For example, if a cultivator comes in contact with the Black Hex Raven Tears, they might experience Qi deviation or maybe even trigger a Tribulation out of nowhere.: Xukong explained further.
"That bad?" Lin Mu hadn't expected the power of the tears to be this strong. "Indeed. There's even an infamous story about an Emperor who was fed the Black Hex Raven Tears." Xukong informed. "Since the tears themselves aren't a poison, they passed through the checks easily, but once the emperor consumed it he choked on water.
He then accidental hit his head on the table, when he tried to handle that. Later, he tripped and rolled into his court's pillars which collapsed from his strength, leading to the entire throne room falling. In anger he screamed, which caused him to lose his voice and spit blood.
Feeling infuriating from this, his anger flared too much, making his Qi rage and pushing him into a Qi deviation. He barely managed to get out of it through the help of others, but that gave rise to a Heart Demon which drove him mad and he slaughtered his entire city.
This act of his is said to have enraged the heavens, which then struck him down with Punishment Tribulation Lightning that turned him into ashes." He narrated.
Hearing the tale, Lin Mu couldn't help but feel goosebumps.
It even made him rethink whether it was a good choice to get this. After all, the risks of mishandling it was quite severe too.
"Don't worry, even if it doesn't come in the right kind of container it'll be fine." Xukong assured him. "Are you forgetting you don't need to touch things to handle them?" he reminded.
"Ah! Yeah I can just use Meld." Lin Mu realized, taking a breath of relief. "Though we should still look at other options, just in case." He added.
"Alright." Xukong didn't mind and continued to tell Lin Mu about more things.
Among them, they realized that many of the poisons were ineffective against the Chimera Plant. And the ones that were effective, were simply too expensive.
"Fury Manticore Venom… Two hundred and fifty million credits." Lin Mu read one of the high ranking poisons.
"That is almost sure to work." Xukong stated. "It'll even melt through a Transcendent Immortal's defense with ease. Those beasts are very strong and have the potential to become Celestial Beasts too." He added.
"No wonder, it's so expensive." Lin Mu muttered. "But it's not the most expensive." Xukong said, bringing Lin Mu's attention to another item at the top. "This is guaranteed to melt through its defenses." "Scarlet Heart Phoenix Bloom Juice." Lin Mu read. "Eight hundred million credits… Yeah that's… Impossible." He stated right away.
The item in consideration was the juice extracted from a Scarlet Heart Phoenix Bloom Flower. It was a legendary flower that was only said to bloom where a Phoenix had hatched. The flower contained such intense heat that it was said to melt a mountain simply from a breeze that blew over it.
Of course, this was also indescribably valuable as it a treasure that could massively improve an immortal's cultivation base. Though of course, those that were qualified to use it could be counted on one hand. Even Xukong didn't think that Lin Mu would be able to handle it.
It was one of the most potent herbs in the Immortal realm and was valued even in the Celestial Realm. The extracted juice was also highly potent and would melt through almost anything. If one wished to contain it, they couldn't even use any metals or other solid materials. They would have to contain it directly inside a spatial pocket.
"How would one even consume something like this?" Lin Mu couldn't help but wonder.
"It is something Fire Elemental cultivators who have reached the apex can consume along with those that have some special bloodlines such as those of the Vermillion Bird, The Gold Crow, The Blessed Fenghuang, and The Great Volcanic Wyvern." Xukong explained. "It is possibly the best elixir they can consume and it'll ensure they have more than enough Qi to reach the Celestial realm." He added.
Hearing that, Lin Mu couldn't help but be impressed.
"Would it work on the Dragon Turtle?" He asked, knowing that it was also a strong beast with the fire element. "Unfortunately it only works on those with pure Fire elemental bloodlines." Xukong answered. "The Dragon Turtle wouldn't be able to handle it either." "Hmm, that's a shame. If not me, maybe it could have been good for Little Shrubby." Lin Mu said.
Little Shrubby was the only one he knew with the highest affinity with the fire element among all of them.
