Almighty Genius

Chapter 2504 - 1998: Sky Covering Giant Hand!

First update, asking for subscriptions and monthly votes~~~...

Yellow Springs Water can assist experts of the Heretic Dao to easily cross from Grandmaster Level into the Supreme Realm... The prerequisite is to withstand the terrifying corrosiveness of Yellow Springs Water and the invincible ominous evil power contained within!

According to incomplete statistics, from ancient times to the present, few people have been able to drink Yellow Springs Water and remain alive...

However, as an Alchemist, Qin Fang is very well aware that to harvest the Ghostly Rotten Bone Flower, one must meet a prerequisite... Drink the Yellow Springs Water, or take a Positive Yang Pill!

Drinking Yellow Springs Water has a ninety-nine percent chance of death, with only a one percent chance of survival... Not only can one's cultivation directly advance to the Supreme Realm, but they can also effortlessly harvest the Ghostly Rotten Bone Flower.

However, generally, people do not dare to take such a risk, as the danger is such that even describing it as a matter of life and death is insufficient...

Unless someone covets the terrifying power of Yellow Springs Water enough to risk their life, ordinary people absolutely do not dare to do this!

The alternative is the second method, consuming an elixir called the Positive Yang Pill...

This elixir is not considered an extremely precious ultimate elixir, as even now, various Great Sects still preserve the Positive Yang Pill's formula, and have even refined several as backups...

However, those familiar with this elixir know that the Positive Yang Pill offers no benefit for healing or boosting cultivation, and it might even produce some harmful side effects on the body. Its sole advantage is that it can ignite the supreme yang energy within a martial artist's body.

Don't think this is something good; it's absolutely the most troublesome thing...

If the supreme yang energy within the body is ignited and not supplemented in time... (usually by cultivating a sun illumination technique), it could lead to a deficiency in yang energy, and in severe cases, possibly becoming... a eunuch!

A eunuch is someone who has had their little part cut off, but consuming the Positive Yang Pill could cause someone to become a eunuch even without cutting anything off, possibly even turning them into someone like the Invincible One...

Qin Fang had read Elder Jin's novels, and regarding the character Invincible One, and the Sunflower Manual martial technique, he initially suspected if the result stemmed from eating the Positive Yang Pill... This elixir is virtually a perfect medicine for gender transformation.

Of course, it is precisely the special medicinal effect of the Positive Yang Pill, that upon consumption, one can resist the extremely yin and evil power in Yellow Springs Water... Then, taking advantage of the moment when the medicinal power is resisting, swiftly pick the Ghostly Rotten Bone Flower and quickly leave!

This is the only successful method to take the Ghostly Rotten Bone Flower away...

However, the cost paid is unimaginably frightening!

That's why each Ghostly Rotten Bone Flower is exceedingly hard to obtain, making the Netherworld Bone-Rotting Soul Severing Soup incredibly difficult to concoct...

The Ghostly Rotten Bone Flower grows in Extreme Yin Lands, and grows next to the Yellow Springs Water, absorbing countless extremely yin and evil powers. Although far less terrifying than the Yellow Springs Water, it is the most compatible treasure for Heretic Dao experts.

Perhaps due to the notion of extremes flipping, the place where the Ghostly Rotten Bone Flower grows is too dangerous and ominous. While its name sounds terrifying, it is, in fact, an extremely precious Spiritual Medicine... Its effect is exactly contrary to its name, and saying it can revive the dead, restore flesh to bones is no exaggeration.

At the same time, the Ghostly Rotten Bone Flower can also enhance one's power. Upon consumption, one can easily cross from the Great Grandmaster Level into the Supreme Realm, or even directly reach the Mid-stage Supreme Realm... provided the body can withstand the boundless pain brought by this process!

Of course, there is a certain probability of failure within this as well...

Although very small, there is about a thirty percent chance!

For all these reasons, when Fu Hongyun mentioned the Netherworld Bone-Rotting Soul Severing Soup, Qin Fang couldn't help but think he was bluffing...

With the Ghostly Rotten Bone Flower in hand, Fu Hongyun inexplicably chose not to consume it directly to elevate his cultivation to the Supreme Realm, but instead used it to concoct such a wickedly poisonous brew, which is truly beyond belief!

One could say, anyone with a brain would understand, this kind of behavior is utterly foolish...

But in fact, indeed some people have done this.

"Hmph..."

Fu Hongyun's face was slightly awkward, as if Qin Fang had hit a sore spot, leaving him speechless for a moment.

Although Fu Hongyun was one of the participants, he truly was not the originator of this...

Back then, Fu Hongyun had accidentally obtained the Ghostly Rotten Bone Flower, feeling its immense power and terror, as if some miraculous magic deeply attracted him, leaving him unable to extricate himself.

But before he figured out exactly what this Spiritual Medicine was, he encountered Old Poison Monster, a renowned old monster from the Evil Sect...

Faced with such a formidable and erratic old monster, Fu Hongyun, despite his minor accomplishments in cultivation, dared not utter a single word... The Old Poison Monster, wanting to toy with Fu Hongyun to death, could do so effortlessly with just a wave of his hand.

Confronting this old monster, Fu Hongyun could only offer up this Ghostly Rotten Bone Flower with both hands to save his life...

This made the Old Poison Monster quite excited, accepting this Ghostly Rotten Bone Flower unceremoniously... As an expert in poison and identification of medicines, his skills were formidable, and he certainly wouldn't fail to recognize this Ghostly Rotten Bone Flower.

However, the old monster was concerned about his reputation and didn't want to be known for bullying the young. Thus, he stated that he would accept the spiritual medicine but would use it to concoct an incredibly potent toxic potion, which he would then gift to Fu Hongyun!

Having the Old Poison Monster craft toxic potions as a gift was quite a surprise for Fu Hongyun, hence he quickly agreed...

Consequently, the Old Poison Monster eagerly accepted the Ghostly Rotten Bone Flower and zealously began researching the formula for the Netherworld Bone-Rotting Soul Severing Soup... He already possessed part of a broken formula and started experimenting based on that. He actually succeeded in concocting it.

Moreover, besides keeping a small portion for himself, he sent most of it to Fu Hongyun...

In a moment of happiness, he even helped Fu Hongyun concoct some antidotes that could suppress the effects of the Netherworld Bone-Rotting Soul Severing Soup... Though not entirely removing the poison's effects, they could effectively suppress it and prevent immediate death from poisoning.

Upon encountering this fortune, Fu Hongyun was truly elated back then...

But when he realized that the spiritual medicine he gave away was the Ghostly Rotten Bone Flower, he truly wished he could tear the Old Poison Monster to pieces... That was a spiritual medicine that could directly advance him to the Supreme Realm, though there was a certain chance of failure, Fu Hongyun was confident he could advance smoothly.

Yet, unfortunately, such a precious spiritual medicine was still concocted into the terrifying poison of the Netherworld Bone-Rotting Soul Severing Soup... Though it could enhance Fu Hongyun's lethal capabilities, it was of no benefit to personal cultivation.

This wasn't surprising, as the Old Poison Monster had indulged in poison play all his life, nothing intrigued him more than toxic potions...

Moreover, his cultivation had long reached the mid-stage Supreme Realm, even having reached the peak. Although the Ghostly Rotten Bone Flower had endless magical uses, it was useless to a paramount expert with such cultivation, hence he wouldn't consider using it for anything else, directly using it to concoct poison!

Of course, this humiliating matter was something Fu Hongyun would never speak of... He even kept it from the Poison Demon Pang Sihai, just to avoid being laughed at!

"What about the Netherworld Bone-Rotting Soul Severing Soup, if it can't hit me, it's useless..."

Seeing Fu Hongyun's unusual expression, Qin Fang knew there was something amiss but chose not to delve deeper, immediately moving when Fu Hongyun's focus was slightly impaired, he once again bolted away!

"Bye-bye..."

In terms of posing a threat to Qin Fang, aside from Fu Hongyun's cultivation at the Great Master Peak Level, his phenomenal archery skills were his true prowess... Yet, this fool Fu Hongyun chose to rely on poison to try controlling Qin Fang, which was truly foolish to the extreme.

Qin Fang might worry or fear other matters, but poison was his sole exception...

"Where do you think you're going?"

On seeing Qin Fang escape again, Fu Hongyun felt he was once more being toyed with, an intense rage swelling within, and with a furious shout, he immediately chased after... This time, his speed was even faster, even more urgent, with an aura of murder significantly heightened.

Although Qin Fang had a slight lead, Fu Hongyun's speed was excessively swift, quickly narrowing the gap and soon launching an attack on Qin Fang's vital heart area.

"Sky Covering Giant Hand..."

At this moment, Qin Fang suddenly turned around, displaying an extremely peculiar smile, as if mocking Fu Hongyun, while raising one hand to the sky in an impressively cool stance... It had an air of covering the sky with one hand.

"Pretentious..."

Seeing this, Fu Hongyun naturally paid no mind, muttering a bit under his breath as no special change or movement occurred around him... Naturally, he assumed Qin Fang was playing tricks again.

Buzz~~~

But as he was about to touch Qin Fang, suddenly he felt as if his body was restricted by an invisible force, his speed drastically reduced, even becoming completely immobilized...

Simultaneously, a tremendously powerful palm energy descended from the sky, striking firmly on his immobilized body.

Bam~~~

With a dull thud, Fu Hongyun's body was directly slammed onto the ground by the gigantic palm... His slightly handsome face intimately collided with the hard rock on the ground.

With strength restricted, the protective Gang Qi couldn't provide decent defense, and after such a fierce blow, Fu Hongyun's power was dimming, his face pain-stung... Almost all his teeth shaken loose by that palm strike. (To be continued.
