Chapter 575: Leaving the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley

However, at this time, a black skull flew out of the storage ring and tried to enter Zhen Yuan’s body.

Unfortunately, it didn’t even touch his skin before a silver rune smashed it into nothing.

"What was that?" Shen Xu asked.

"A soul curse." Zhen Yuan said and began explaining.

"Most curses are weak to lightning. Although ordinary lightning may not be able to destroy the soul curse, my lightning rune is far from ordinary." He said and picked the ring.

He emptied the ring with one thought, and they began examining the loot.

Half an hour later, the two exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

"Poor bustard." Shen Xu complained.

"We have already established that he escaped to the immortal realm. He probably wasted his things on escaping and saving his life." Zhen Yuan said as he opened a wooden box.

The box was not big and when he opened it, he saw a purple gourd.

"Xiaoxu, this is it. It’s the source of the law pillar." He said and smiled.

"It’s not the third part of the qiankun wine gourd. What is it?" The double asked.

"It’s the three-woods gourd." Zhen Yuan revealed and Shen Xu couldn’t help but be excited.

The three-woods gourd was the important part of turning pure poison water into pure light water.

Shen xu and Zhen Yuam originally thought they would need to refine the gourd.

However, this was easier said than than done.

On one hand, they didn’t have the three woods required to refine the gourd and on the other, Zhen Yuan could inscribe the necessary runes.

Unexpectedly, they encountered the gourd and didn’t need to refine one in the short term.

"What good luck!" Shen Xu exclaimed and Zhen Yuan nodded.

The two people’s luck turned for the better after finding the gourd.

In addition to it, they found some books, poison refining inheritances, three poison furnaces, two pill furnaces, some broken weapons, and one thousand divine stones.

"He was probably saving the divine stones for a rainy day. Unfortunately, he died before he could use them." Shen Xu said but didn’t actually pity the person.

After all, the remnant soul had planned to seize someone’s body.

If it was other people who entered the cave, the remnant soul would have succeeded and would have surely wrecked havoc in the immortal realm.

’We did a good deed.’ Shen Xu thought, waved his hand, and four fires flew out of the space.

"Can you burn it?" The double asked, pointing at the skeleton.

"It’s a God’s skeleton but who are we?" Xiaolei said and rushed to the skeleton.

Seeing this, Xiaomu, Xiaoshui, and Xiaohei; the dark element fire, also flew over.

One month passed and the skeleton was finally reduced to nothing.

"Where are we? Why is there a God’s skeleton in the immortal realm?" Xiaomu suddenly asked.

"We are in the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley. It’s an unknown area." Shen Xu said.

Hearing this, the four fires nodded and Shen Xu sent them back to the space.

"Xiaoxu, let’s enter the space for a short while." Zhen Yuan said and the double raised an eyebrow.

"Why?" He asked.

"To add more Poisons to the pure Poisons and pure light water. We can later transform it with the three-woods gourd and then use the antidote to earn immortal stones." Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu nodded.

"Good idea." He immediately agreed.

After that, the two entered the space and didn’t come out until three real days later.

Soon after, they left the cave and began walking towards the exit.

However, they didn’t rush this time around.

Instead, they walked slowly; fighting poisonous beasts, and collecting more more materials.

One year passed and the two finally exited the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley.

"There is no one at exit." Shen Xu observed and Zhen Yuan nodded.

"It’s not unexpected." He said.

Because they didn’t have a demon horse to hitch the carriage, the two used a ship and planned to buy some demon horses in the next town.

That said, they didn’t fly fast.

Instead, they flew slowly which allowed them to enjoy the surrounding scenery while drinking wine on the ship’s deck.

"Ayuan, do you think Zhou Xuan and the rest have already arrived in Suzhou city?" Shen Xu suddenly asked.

"It’s been more than forty thousand years since we parted ways. They should have already gone there." Zhen Yuan answered and the double nodded.

"Zhou Xuan was only at the late-stage of the true immortal realm when we parted ways. It’s not feasible for a person of his cultivation level to climb to the top of any stairway." He said.

Three months passed and the two finally saw a large city in the distance. This city was called Nan’an, and it was a tier two city.

Like Jieshou city, Nan’an city wasn’t famous for anything, but it was large and prosperous.

After landing, Shen Xu stored the ship and the two walked to the city gate.

As in other cities, they paid the entrance fee, and followed the traffic to find the main street.

Half an hour later, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan sat at a window seat in a popular restaurant.

"The once in a thousand years recruitment is about to begin. Do you plan to go?" Someone asked.

"I want to go, but am I qualified?" Another asked.

"I heard that the young miss of the city lord’s residence has already been recruited."

"Her city lord grandfather is an outer elder of the Eastern Immortal Palace. It’s not strange that she has been recruited."

"It’s not just that." Someone started and quickly continued.

"The young miss has a top-grade metal spiritual root, and has a natural talent for swordsmanship. It’s not a loss for the Eastern Immortal Palace to recruit her."

"Enough about the recruitment. I am more interested in ’Law’ and ’Fire’." Someone said and the atmosphere immediately changed.

At their table, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan exchanged a glance, and couldn’t help but pay more attention.
