When Hu Chen Wanmu traveled twenty feet, he found that although these poisons were extraordinary, they were still a single attack.
In this situation, he could not be harmed for the time being, so he couldn't help but speed up.
However, instead of relaxing his vigilance, he was on full alert, because on this path, there would be a light rain from time to time.
It was obvious that the raindrops were not something that could be touched, so he could only put two more talismans outside the protective shield.
After considering it for a while, he still felt uneasy, so he took out a bottle of blue liquid and applied it on the exposed skin. Then he continued on his way while being on alert.
After dozens of breaths, he walked up another forty feet. He wanted to use the medicinal power of the pill he had swallowed to distance himself from Li Yan as quickly as possible.
On the other side, although Li Yan was protected by a spiritual shield since he entered the path, he seemed to be no match for Hu Chen Wanmu.
Everyone in the square saw that Li Yan had taken out seven or eight pill bottles before stepping into the path. He had swallowed a lot of pills before, and his expression was extremely solemn.
Of course, the pill that Li Yan swallowed was just an ordinary detoxification pill.
Li Yan agreed to the test. On the one hand, he wanted to get the "Xuanming Order" no matter what.
On the other hand, seeing the methods displayed by the poison cultivators of the Hu Chen family, Li Yan also felt a desire to hone his skills.
He wanted to take this opportunity to feel the so-called three peerless poisonous bodies of the Wuliang Sect. What were his strengths and weaknesses in the confrontation with this poison cultivator whose legacy had been passed down for more than ten thousand years
Li Yan's real means of administering poison was only below average among the Wuliang Sect. Whether it was using formations to spread poison or driving poisonous insects, he only had a little experience in that.
His own method of poisoning was to rely on the harmony between the poisonous body and his own body, and he could do it at will.
So when Li Yan entered the path, he was not in a hurry to go up the mountain. After all, he knew that no matter what the result of this level was, Ancestor Hu Chen would allow Hu Chen Wuding to qualify, so he became less anxious.
Moreover, Li Yan was certain that in this apparently fair competition, Patriarch Hu Chen would not allow Hu Chen Wanmu to climb to the top of the mountain as he was impressed by Hu Chen Wuding.
In that case, on the surface, Patriarch Hu Chen would have no reason to let Hu Chen Wuding win.
Similarly, even if he could finally reach the summit, Patriarch Hu Chen would probably let himself die "accidentally".
The specific manifestations of the three most poisonous bodies of the Wuliang Sect have always been kept secret from the outside world. It is not easy for outsiders to tell whether a sect possesses the three most poisonous bodies by looking at the appearance.
When Yu Yiyong and the others saw Li Yan for the first time, the fragmented poisonous body was in its embryonic form at that time, and its appearance was quite obvious. Moreover, Yu Yiyong and the other two were all disciples of the Wuliang Sect, so they were already familiar with the sect's three major poisonous bodies. That's why they became suspicious at first sight.
However, as Li Yan's fragmented poisonous body was truly formed, it had become one with his flesh and blood and could no longer be distinguished from it. Now it is basically difficult for anyone to recognize it.
This is not something that can be discovered even with a high level of cultivation. Unless Li Yan's body is completely dissected open, it will be possible to discover the toxins contained in his flesh and blood, which may not be recorded in various classics, and only then will there be suspicion.
With these thoughts in mind, Li Yan pretended to put up a spiritual power shield as soon as he entered.
When he saw the surrounding environment clearly, he found that the sky was colorful, with mists of various colors, either in clusters or in strands;
Some float in the air, some linger around the tips of low flowers and plants, moving slowly, looking ethereal and unreal, making people feel as if they are in a fantasy world.
Li Yan understood that this mist was so beautiful that it was a bit excessive. Ordinary people would die immediately if they inhaled a little bit of it, or even if they held their breath and touched it.
After death, the body either turns into nothingness or the skin becomes colorful, which is so strange and terrifying.
Here are some even more horrifying things that are colorless and tasteless. Sometimes, people may not even know how they died from the poison. The most terrifying method of poison practitioners is to be silent and leave no trace.
As Li Yan was observing, he quietly absorbed a trace of poison in the air into his body. At this time, the caution on his face was not fake, and he was truly a little nervous in his heart.
When this trace of poison entered his body, he only felt a chill, which was fleeting and was washed away without a trace by the blood and qi in his body.
If Li Yan hadn't felt it carefully, he might not have even felt this slight chill.
After a while, Li Yan carefully felt his body again, and when he found that everything was normal, he slowly felt relieved.
He had also tried this before by looking for some poisonous herbs in the Wuliang Sect, but he was always safe in the end.
Later, he even specially looked for higher-grade poison pills. Ordinary poisons or small amounts of highly toxic substances had almost no harm to him.
He will feel uncomfortable and nauseous only when the amount of poison is too large, but eventually his poisonous body will start to work wildly and his symptoms will quickly ease until they disappear.
No matter what kind of poisonous grass it is, it is a spiritual plant that needs spiritual energy to grow. Poison pills require several or even dozens of plants to be successfully refined.
High-level poison pills even need to be combined with the essence and core of monsters to be refined, and all of these require a large amount of spirit stones to purchase.
At that time, Li Yan did not have many spirit stones for him to try, so after trying several times, he gave up.
After coming out of the trial in the secret realm, he already had a lot of spirit stones on him, but he had been practicing immortal arts and spells. He wanted to build his foundation as soon as possible and go home to visit his parents, but he had no time to make another attempt.
The place today was transformed by the magic weapon that Patriarch Hu Chen had used before, and it was also the place where a genuine Nascent Soul stage poison cultivator was located. The various poisons he refined were extremely unusual. How could Li Yan miss such a good opportunity
The main reason was that when Li Yan was in the sect, he gradually understood a sentence in the book introducing the Disintegration Poison Body that was left by the predecessors.
"Broken and fragmented, divided endlessly, devouring everything in its natural course."
What this sentence means is that the fragmented poisonous body is differentiating during continuous advancement, and then producing more types of toxins, making the fragmented poisonous body changeable. However, if it can devour other types of poisons, it can also be upgraded.
When Li Yan saw this sentence, he was also extremely excited. In this way, if his poisonous body was greatly improved, he would have more ways to save his life.
But later, after he tried to swallow the highly poisonous pill, he didn't feel that it had much effect on his poisonous body.
Li Yan thought for a long time before he figured out that the poisonous pill he swallowed might not be of high enough grade, or the quantity was too small to have any effect at all.
The "natural competition" in "the natural competition of the devouring things" should mean the survival of the fittest, which means that higher-grade spiritual plant poisons or poison pills are needed to stimulate the poisonous body. This is Li Yan's speculation. When he felt that a trace of the poison did not harm him, Li Yan's consciousness gathered around his body and carefully observed each toxin in his consciousness.
Finally, he selected three poisons with different sensitivity and put a trace of each into his body again.
This time, he clearly felt that as the number and types of poisons increased, he had alternating feelings of chillness or tearing in his body, but in the next moment, with the circulation of qi and blood, they disappeared again.
This made Li Yan feel moved.
The next moment, he inhaled about three times the amount of deadly poisons in the world as before. What made Li Yan excited this time was that when the amount of inhaled poisons increased to a certain level, the poisonous body that had been lurking in his body for a long time actually began to move on its own.
Moreover, once these poisons enter the body, they will be quickly dissolved by Kuai's blood and qi, and will also speed up the circulation of his magic power a little.
"The creation of the Fragmented Poison Body is due to the mutation of the Guishui Sutra. It may have the effect of complementing each other. If the Fragmented Poison Body can be improved, it may have the same auxiliary and improving effect on the Guishui Sutra."
Feeling the active spiritual power in his body, Li Yan began to feel a little excited.
But when he tried to inhale more of the poison from heaven and earth again, he found that he had not inhaled too much this time. It turned out that he had been standing in the same place since he entered.
This area was originally the entrance to the path. There were not many plants around it. After being devoured by him several times, an open area was formed in a short time.
Li Yan walked forward with hope in his heart.
He kept trying to get in touch with more poisons while moving, but he didn't dare to withdraw his spiritual shield completely, because the poison in the world was not just in the form of mist, but also smoke, rain, etc.
These things made the entire path foggy and all the scenery on the hillside appear hazy.
The most important thing is that if he allows these things to stick to his body, although Li Yan has some confidence in himself, the clothes on his body may not be able to resist it.
If the clothes turned into smoke by then, Li Yan would be naked in front of everyone.
Therefore, he could only selectively put some poison, more or less, into the spiritual power shield after careful observation, and then absorb it into his body all at once.
Just as Li Yan started to move, some people in the square breathed a sigh of relief, especially Old Ancestor Hu Chen.
Although he has included Li Yan and Zhuo Lingfeng in the kill list, he still hopes that Li Yan can get ahead of Hu Chen Wanmu. If that doesn't work, he will secretly make some moves to prevent Hu Chen Wanmu from moving forward.
As long as Li Yan can surpass him, it will be fine. Once Li Yan is slightly ahead, he will launch an attack with his magic weapon and directly take Li Yan's life.
In the end, based on how far the two are from the top of the mountain, Li Yan will be judged as the winner. After the game is over, Zhuo Lingfeng will be killed quietly.
However, what Patriarch Hu Chen never expected was that after the two entered the path, although Hu Chen Wanmu was cautious at first, later on, he was as fast as an arrow.
On the other hand, Li Yan entered the path, looked left and right, and then stopped where he was.
Even Patriarch Hu Chen was caught off guard by this phenomenon. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he was unable to help even if he wanted to.
Seeing this scene, Patriarch Hu Chen couldn't help but curse Li Yan for being incompetent in his heart.
Before, when I saw Li Yan hiding his skills and looking calm, I thought he at least had some skills, but I didn't expect him to be so incompetent.
Not to mention Patriarch Hu Chen, Li Yan's performance at the beginning shocked everyone in the square. They thought that Li Yan had been tricked as soon as he entered the path.
"Could that monk have been poisoned by a hallucinogenic fog? Otherwise, why would he be standing there motionless?"
"Maybe he should observe it first. Didn't you see him looking around?"
"He's being too cautious. He doesn't seem to have any confidence at all. Just now in the square, he looked so calm that I thought he was so powerful!"
"… "
At this time, Hu Chen Huiqing had already arrived beside Hu Chen Wuding. She looked at Hu Chen Wuding with her beautiful eyes, who had a calm face, then looked at the hunchbacked old man who also had a blank expression, and finally said helplessly.
"Wuding, is your friend any good? Why has he been standing at the entrance? Can't he move forward even an inch? Look at Si Niang, she's so smug, huh!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Ye Luoyan, who was looking delighted in the distance.
Even Hu Chen Jianghai, who had just awakened, looked pale, but there was a fiery look in his eyes as he looked up at the light curtain in the sky, which made Hu Chen Huiqing even more depressed.
When she flew over just now, she first inquired about Li Yan's news in private, but Hu Chen Wuding only said that he was a good friend of his and this time he just wanted to visit the Hu Chen family. No matter how Hu Chen Huiqing asked, he would not say anything else.
This made Hu Chen Hui so angry that she really wanted to beat Hu Chen Wuding up, but in the end she at least knew some information about Li Yan, and found out that he was not the apprentice or nephew of the hunchbacked old man.
"Of course Brother Li will win. Don't worry. He just wants to adapt to the environment now."
Hu Chen Wuding was helpless by her question. In fact, he didn't know why Li Yan just stood there motionless after entering the path, so he just said it casually.
Just as he finished speaking, Li Yan's figure finally moved.
Li Yan's move made many people in the square feel relieved, otherwise this game would have been extremely boring.
However, Li Yan did not walk very fast, which made Patriarch Hu Chen dissatisfied.
But that was all he did, because he knew that Hu Chen Wanmu was about to get into trouble.
Although the main purpose of the assessment he set was to kill Zhuo Lingfeng, the assessment still had its own significance.
Sure enough, just as Li Yan was moving slowly upwards, the Huchen Wanmu, which had been advancing with great momentum, finally stopped and he also encountered trouble.
