Chapter 76: Deep Within the Poison Barrier

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Deep Within the Poison Barrier

Meanwhile, Bai Zhixi had arrived near the auction house.

She glanced down at the medicine in her hand.

A smile touched her lips.

This sort of thing...

She was an expert at it!

Without another thought, she strode inside!

A short while later,

The auction began. In the stands, a young woman was seated.

Her skin was as white as snow.

Her long, waterfall-like hair cascaded over her shoulders.

Dressed in fine clothes, a single glance at her was like stepping back to the time before the apocalypse!

It was all simply too extravagant!

The young woman sat there, and although she wasn’t as tall as the average male Mutant, her icy aura was more than enough to dominate those around her.

Beside and behind her sat several middle-aged men.

However, when they looked at her, their eyes held a certain reverence.

At that moment, the young woman was looking at the auction list.

After a quick look,

"There are no poison glands from any highly toxic creatures! And I didn’t find what I was looking for at the trading market earlier, either." Pan Xuechun murmured after finishing the auction list, her voice somewhat gloomy.

"Then the main ingredient for the Master’s medicine..." one of the middle-aged men beside her began, but Pan Xuechun cut him off.

"However, I did hear some news at the trading market."

"Apparently, there’s a Poison Barrier Land deep in the jungle outside this barrier!"

"I’m not exactly sure how it was formed."

"But there must be plenty of poisonous creatures inside!"

"We can go take a look!"

"We might just find what we’re looking for!"

"Given the circumstances, we’ve searched so many places and found nothing. We can’t let a single opportunity slip by."

’It seems that the Mutants around here don’t dare enter the Poison Barrier Land!’ Pan Xuechun thought.

’You could call it a land of death!’

’But we can go check it out.’

’For one, our team is quite powerful.’

’Including myself, everyone is at the Mid-Golden Stage or higher!’

’The man beside me has even reached the Early-Diamond Stage!’

’Besides, we have the Antidote Medicine prepared by our family’s Alchemist!’

’We have to take a look!’

"Let’s go!"

With that one word from Pan Xuechun, the group prepared to leave.

But in the next moment,

The auctioneer clapped his hands, drawing everyone’s attention.

"Everyone, we will now be inserting a few items into the auction!"

Instantly,

The crowd froze upon hearing the announcement.

All eyes widened, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen.

This was certainly a rare occurrence!

After all, something like this wasn’t common at all!

Adding items in the middle of an auction!

’It must be something extraordinary!’

Immediately, they all turned their gazes to the stage, their faces filled with anticipation.

Then,

The auctioneer whisked away the red cloth in front of him,

Revealing the items beneath!

Everyone looked. Were those... pills?

’What’s this about?’

"These are Antitoxic Pills!"

"As you all know, there is a Poison Barrier Land in the forest far from our barrier. Everyone has been struggling to enter because of the Poison Barrier!" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

"But after taking one of these, those with sufficient strength will be able to enter!"

"As for what’s inside, you’ve all heard the rumors, so I won’t say more."

The auctioneer’s few simple words

were enough to pique everyone’s interest!

Antitoxic Pills!

Entering the Poison Barrier Land!

This was practically their dream come true!

According to rumor, the place was filled with Exotic Beasts that had died from the poison, meaning there were countless Crystal Cores!

Just there for the picking.

Even the various Patriarchs sat bolt upright, their eyes shining as they stared at the items!

’Something only an Alchemist can refine... The Cyan Flower Barrier! Do we actually have an Alchemist here?!’

’Aren’t Alchemists only found in super-large barriers?!’

’An Alchemist is someone even the families in those super-large barriers would treat as a guest of honor!’

But they couldn’t spare a thought for that now!

’Buy it!’

’We have to buy it!’

On the stage, the auctioneer saw the gleam in everyone’s eyes and was secretly overjoyed.

He then announced,

"Now, for the first pill! The starting bid is three Mid-Golden Stage Crystal Cores!"

WHOOSH!

In an instant, the entire hall was in an uproar!

’Son of a bitch!’

’Even if it’s good stuff,’

’this is straight-up robbery!’

’Goddammit!’

’Starting at three Mid-Golden Stage Crystal Cores!’

Even the Patriarchs felt their mouths twitch.

But in the next moment,

Someone couldn’t hold back and placed the first bid!

"I bid four!"

"I bid five!"

...

In an instant, everyone began to compete fiercely in the bidding.

In a corner of the hall, a disguised Bai Zhixi watched the scene, humming a little tune.

’Wow, my husband is amazing. Even something he casually refines can cause such a frenzy!’

’At this rate, we’re going to make a fortune!’

A short while later,

Several pills had been sold at high prices.

Over on their side, Pan Xuechun and her group were also watching the items.

Eventually, Pan Xuechun also won the bid for one pill!

After receiving it,

She examined it.

"Miss, how is it?"

The man beside her asked.

Pan Xuechun looked at the medicine and let out a laugh of exasperation.

"Uncle Ye, this thing is far inferior to the Antidote Medicine our family’s Alchemist made for us."

As Pan Xuechun spoke, she glanced at the various Patriarchs in the room. ’What a bunch of suckers.’

But she had already bought it.

’Oh, well.’

’The priority right now is still finding the poison gland of a highly toxic creature!’

"Then we’ve wasted our money," Ye Ming said with a pout.

"It doesn’t matter. Our only mission on this trip is to find that poison gland!" Pan Xuechun shook her head.

"The Alchemist back home said that the virulent poison Grandfather was afflicted with can only be countered by fighting poison with poison. But we’re missing the main ingredient!"

"Even with Grandfather’s Star Tier strength, he can’t withstand that poison. To fight it with another poison, we’ll definitely need the gland of an extremely toxic creature!"

"The family has already put out the word: whoever can find it and help cure Grandfather will have performed a great service!"

"In the future, with Grandfather’s protection, our family can rise to an even higher level. This bit of money is nothing."

"If Grandfather falls, I fear we will be swallowed up by other families, and this wealth will be even more useless."

’The Miss truly sees things clearly!’ Ye Ming thought.

"Miss, let’s head to the Poison Barrier Land now."

"Mm!"

Pan Xuechun agreed.

And she followed her group out.

「Meanwhile.」

Ye Yunyi had already arrived outside the Poison Barrier Land.

He took out a Divine-level Antitoxic Pill.

And swallowed it!

Then, he headed into the depths!

He went even deeper than the area he and the Crimson Flame Tiger had reached before!

Once inside,

Ye Yunyi’s mouth twitched!

’Hot damn!’

’There are quite a few Crystal Cores here!’

Without delay, he began picking them up at an incredible speed!

After a while,

Ye Yunyi looked around.

’The deeper I go, the fewer Crystal Cores there are.’

’After all, very few Exotic Beasts could make it this far in!’

The next moment,

He heard a rustling sound not far from him.

It was followed by the sound of people talking.

"Oh? Someone came in?"
