Chapter 873: The Adventure of the Poisonous Heart-Eating Bug
"As Fellow Daoist Lu can see, my arm is in a very bad condition right now."
"When I was hunting demons, I was accidentally infected by a demonic poison. The infection speed was extremely fast. Fortunately, I acted decisively and cut off one arm."
"But the broken part is now like this."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan took a step back without leaving a trace, his expression solemn.
"Does Fellow Daoist Ye need me?"
"Yes, I came to buy a bottle of fourth-grade Dust Cleansing Pill from Fellow Daoist Lu."
"After being infected with that demonic poison, I tried many methods, but none of them worked. At most, I could only prevent the wound from getting worse."
"And the Dust Cleansing Pill that Fellow Daoist refined has a good effect."
"I plan to use the Dust Cleansing Pill to delay the deterioration of the injury first, and then look for a way to solve it fundamentally."
Ye Xuanyin said helplessly.
She had previously participated in Lu Xuan's private auction held in the grocery store, where she saw a lot of Dust Cleansing Pills.
But when she went there before, they were all sold out. It took a long time to get one, and the price was ridiculously high.
She knew that the grocery store was Lu Xuan's business, so she guessed that Lu Xuan could refine the Dust Purifying Pill, so she went straight to the outside of the cave to wait.
"Buy a bottle of Dust Purifying Pill? That's easy, Daoist Fellow Ye, please come in."
Lu Xuan did not explain where he went and invited Ye Xuanyin to enter the cave.
After arriving in the yard, he poured Ye Xuanyin a cup of Jade Cleansing Spirit Dew.
"Daoist Fellow Ye, this Jade Cleansing Spirit Dew has some effect of washing away evil auras, which is just right for you."
Ye Xuanyin expressed his gratitude and drank a big mouthful of spiritual wine.
Lu Xuan took this opportunity to check her condition and confirmed that she was not possessed by evil spirits. This time he was completely relieved.
"Daoist Fellow Ye, here is a bottle of Dust Purifying Pill, which contains ten pills. Is that enough?"
"Enough, if there are more, I don't think I can afford it."
Ye Xuanyin nodded and said.
"Daoyou Lu, how many spirit stones does this bottle of Dust Purifying Pill cost?"
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and smiled.
"We have known each other for many years, so let's just charge 6,000 low-grade spirit stones for each pill."
Ye Xuanyin was stunned. This price was more than half lower than that in the grocery store.
She searched for a long time in the grocery store and other shops owned by Lu Xuan. It took great luck to buy one pill for 10,000 spirit stones.
"Okay, thank you, Daoyou Lu. I owe you a favor."
She was straightforward and didn't act too hypocritical. She took out a pile of medium-grade and low-grade spirit stones and gave them to Lu Xuan.
"In order to hunt as many evil demons as possible, I put almost all my wealth into preparation. Daoyou Lu, please don't laugh at me."
Ye Xuanyin smiled bitterly.
"If Daoyou Ye is in trouble now, you can keep the spirit stones for the time being and return them to me later when you are well-off."
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
"It's okay. Although I haven't hunted many evil demons, I still have some. I can exchange them for two good treasures, and the materials can also sell a lot of spirit stones." Ye Xuanyin said immediately. "Then I won't be polite." Lu Xuan smiled and took the spirit stones. A flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he thought of the poisonous heart-eating worm in the cave. After the poisonous worm broke through to the fourth level, even if Lu Xuan fed it with a variety of poisons and toxins, its strength improvement was extremely limited. "The strange poison on the evil demon... I wonder if it is willing to swallow it?" He pondered in his heart and looked up at Ye Xuanyin. "Fellow Daoist Ye, I have a method that I am somewhat sure can help you get rid of the evil demon's strange poison. I wonder if you are willing to try it?" "Fellow Daoist Lu, please tell me." Ye Xuanyin's eyes lit up. "It's like this. I feed a poisonous insect as a spiritual pet. It is extremely sensitive to toxins and naturally loves all kinds of poisons. It may be interested in the strange poison on Fellow Daoist Ye's arm."
"Of course, the poisonous insect is only of the fourth grade. It depends on whether it has the idea of swallowing the evil demon poison."
Lu Xuan said slowly. It can leave such sequelae on a Jindan cultivator. The horror of the evil demon poison can be imagined.
But the Hundred Poison Heart-Eating Worm's thirst for toxins can transcend life and death. It has stayed at the fourth grade for twenty or thirty years and has been unable to break through. Lu Xuan decided to give it a chance.
Either try to swallow the strange poison, so that there is a good chance of being promoted to the fifth grade, or retreat in the face of difficulties and stay in the cave for the rest of his life.
Although swallowing strange poisons has a lot of risks, when Lu Xuan has mastered several methods to eliminate evil spirits, plus he can understand the detailed status of the poisonous insects, he can completely protect the Hundred Poison Heart-Eating Worm.
"Ye is willing to give it a try."
Ye Xuanyin nodded in agreement without hesitation.
She had used many methods, but could not solve the evil poison in her body. Buying the Dust-Cleansing Pill from Lu Xuan was just a helpless move, which could not fundamentally solve the problem.
But what Lu Xuan said now ignited a glimmer of hope in her heart.
"Okay."
Lu Xuan nodded, and with a thought, he summoned the poisonous heart-eating insect hiding in the corner of the cave.
A burst of green smoke floated from afar, and soon, a colorful poisonous insect with green copper-coin-shaped scars on its back appeared in front of the two.
"Is this the poisonous heart-eating insect? I have heard that it is an extremely rare poisonous insect."
"However, it is a little different from the information I have learned."
Ye Xuanyin looked puzzled.
"This is a different species of poisonous heart-eating insect."
Lu Xuan explained casually.
"Is that so."
Hearing this, Ye Xuanyin's hope in his heart increased a little more.
Lu Xuan kicked aside the poisonous heartworm that was crawling towards him quickly, and passed Ye Xuanyin's situation to the poisonous heartworm's mind.
The poisonous heartworm's pair of yellow-green pupils turned around, looking at the buds that kept growing on the broken part of Ye Xuanyin's arm, and it was unknown what it was thinking.
Soon, the green copper coin scars on its back cracked silently, and wisps of green smoke floated out from them.
"I want to try."
In the end, the desire for the evil demon and the strange poison still overcame the fear, and the poisonous heartworm passed a thought to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan nodded slightly.
"Okay, I will protect you."
He turned his head and looked at Ye Xuanyin.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, this poisonous insect absorbs poisons. It will come over to suck the strange poison on the broken part of your arm later. Please be mentally prepared."
"Understood, I will control myself."
Ye Xuanyin nodded with a solemn face.
She squatted down, relaxed her body, and faced the broken part to the poisonous heartworm.
The poisonous heartworm looked at the black flesh granules, and the dark green poisonous smoke on its back became thicker and thicker. It rushed over quickly and bit a handful of them.
The black flesh granules seemed to have vitality, growing rapidly and extending all the way into the poisonous insect's body.
The green smoke behind the poisonous insect condensed into a poisonous net, covering the broken end of Ye Xuanyin's arm.
The two poisons were evenly matched at first, but soon, the green smoke was outmatched and gradually faded. The flesh granules in the poisonous insect's body expanded rapidly.
Lu Xuan had been paying close attention to the state of the poisonous heartworm. Feeling that the time was about right, his spiritual consciousness dragged it out of its unconscious state.
