CHAPTER 417: THE TERRIFYING RESOURCES OF THE GRAND SKY SECT!

Ji Changfeng's entry into the Grand Sky Sect and the news of the battle between medicine and poison had already caused a sensation.

From the moment the news broke, everyone was frantically focused on this matter.

Regarding this peak duel of medicine and poison, although Chu Xinghe had gained quite a reputation over the past two years, there were very few who truly believed in his victory.

How long had it been since Chu Xinghe received the Medicine Saint's inheritance?

Even if Chu Xinghe was extraordinarily talented, claiming that he had surpassed the Poison Sovereign in such a short time seemed rather far-fetched.

Therefore, over ninety percent of people were convinced that Chu Xinghe was bound to lose this battle.

Only a very few thought that since Chu Xinghe dared to accept the challenge, he must have some secret weapon.

Everyone was watching the progress of this battle... and as soon as Ji Changfeng appeared around the Grand Sky Mountain Range, the news reached all parties.

But just as everyone was waiting for this peak duel, news came from the Grand Sky Sect that Ji Changfeng had conceded.

The moment this news spread, everyone was dumbfounded.

What the heck? Ji Changfeng lost?

Had Chu Xinghe become this formidable?

Wasn't this a bit too outrageous?

Could this be false news released by the Grand Sky Sect?

Did Martial God Gu Mingchao intervene and forcefully defeat Ji Changfeng, then claim Ji Changfeng lost?

But just as everyone was bewildered by this news, an even more explosive piece of news followed.

It wasn't Chu Xinghe who defeated Ji Changfeng... Ji Changfeng hadn't even seen Chu Xinghe's face before being defeated by Ouyang Ling!

The first reaction from all parties upon hearing this news was... a face full of question marks!

Does the Grand Sky Sect even know what they're saying... If you said Chu Xinghe defeated Ji Changfeng, although that would be outrageous, given Chu Xinghe's many impossible feats over the past two years, it wouldn't be entirely unbelievable. 𝐑ÃƝȏᛒÈᶊ

But damn it, now the Grand Sky Sect is saying Ji Changfeng entered the sect and was defeated without even meeting Chu Xinghe, isn't that a bit too much?

And isn't Ouyang Ling the world's number one Spirit Infusion Master?

What, did Ouyang Ling use Spirit Infusion to defeat Ji Changfeng?

If it's about Spirit Infusion, then indeed, Ji Changfeng, the Poison Sovereign, isn't a match for Ouyang Ling.

But here's the problem... wasn't this contest supposed to be about the arts of medicine and poison? How did it turn into a Spirit Infusion contest?

But soon, through various channels, everyone learned what had actually happened in the Grand Sky Sect.

In Martial Emperor City... Zheng Yu looked at the information brought by the stewards, utterly bewildered.

The information the stewards gathered was very accurate...

It detailed how Ji Changfeng, upon entering the Grand Sky Sect, didn't even see Chu Xinghe before being taken down by Ouyang Ling...

The dignified Poison Sovereign was unconscious for half a day before waking up, and you say there's still any comparison left!

Zheng Yu was stunned.

Had Senior Brother Xinghe become this terrifying?

Senior Brother Xinghe didn't even need to make a move; just relying on subordinates like Ouyang Ling, he could completely crush Poison Sovereign Ji Changfeng?

Zheng Yu racked his brains but couldn't figure out how vast the gap between him and Senior Brother Xinghe had become.

Seeing his disciple's dejected look, Cheng Xiaotian felt a bit sympathetic.

"Yu'er... you don't need to compare yourself to Chu Xinghe in everything. Although Chu Xinghe still holds the title of the number one of the younger generation, as I said before, Chu Xinghe shouldn't even be considered among the younger generation anymore..."

Zheng Yu nodded in agreement with his master's words.

Think about it... comparing Senior Brother Xinghe to the younger generation isn't just bullying the younger generation.

It's an insult to Senior Brother Xinghe.

Although I, Zheng Yu, am the second in the younger generation, I must admit, the gap between me and Senior Brother Xinghe has only widened despite my efforts over the past two years...

It's now so vast that I can't even fathom how large it is.

So, considering Senior Brother Xinghe as high-end combat power seems reasonable to Zheng Yu...

Compared to Zheng Yu's clear self-awareness, the Cloud Soar Sect, now ranked tenth in the world, couldn't quite accept it.

The Cloud Soar Sect had plummeted from third to tenth, and the entire sect was about to explode.

In the past, when Yuxu Palace saw our Cloud Soar Sect, they would nod and bow, but now what is Wang Daoquan? Challenging our Sect Master at the slightest disagreement?

But what hurt the Cloud Soar Sect the most was that the Sect Master, now injured upon injury, seemed truly no match for Wang Daoquan...

The Sect Master went into seclusion again... this time for real... Of course, the Sect Master didn't declare any grand statements like not emerging until reaching Martial God status; this seclusion was mainly for recuperation, but given the Sect Master's current condition, it might take three to five years to recover...

When the Cloud Soar Sect heard the news that Chu Xinghe was representing the Heavenly Medicine Palace against the Poison Sovereign, the entire sect was so excited they almost wet themselves.

Chu Xinghe, oh Chu Xinghe...

You are truly arrogant, that's the Poison Sovereign... his poison arts are said to be unparalleled in the world, even if you are the Medicine Saint's inheritor, you are seeking your own doom this time.

So the Cloud Soar Sect was all set, ready to unleash full force the moment news of Chu Xinghe's defeat came out.

They had fifty thousand words of articles ready, with release channels prepared, but now the Poison Sovereign was defeated...

If the Poison Sovereign had lost to Chu Xinghe, it would have been one thing, but damn it, as the Poison Sovereign, you didn't even see Chu Xinghe's face before being taken down by Ouyang Ling.

Do you have any shame?

The Cloud Soar Sect was furious, cursing the Poison Sovereign for being unworthy of his name, what bullshit poison arts unparalleled in the world?

Is this it?

You can't even surpass Ouyang Ling, and you dare call yourself the Poison Sovereign?

The Cloud Soar Sect's cursing was passionate and intense...

But the cursing didn't last long, because as they cursed, four elders of the Cloud Soar Sect inexplicably got poisoned, their cultivation levels plummeted, and over a thousand disciples lay on their beds foaming at the mouth, unconscious, with a few weaker ones even passing away on the spot...

Yet there was no evidence linking this mass poisoning incident in the Cloud Soar Sect to the Poison Sovereign.

Even the water sources around the Cloud Soar Sect became undrinkable, and anyone who dared drink it would definitely get poisoned...

The Cloud Soar Sect had to find people overnight to detoxify the water sources, but the problem was that no one dared to come...

So now, the Cloud Soar Sect had to fetch water from a river three hundred miles away...

After all, the Poison Sovereign was in the Grand Sky Sect... and the Cloud Soar Sect had said the Poison Sovereign was nothing, so this incident surely had nothing to do with the Poison Sovereign...

The mysterious poisoning of the Cloud Soar Sect's water sources became a new unsolved mystery.

In the Grand Sky Sect... Ji Changfeng, the first guest elder, ultimately chose the Dark Moon Palace.

Originally, Chu Xinghe thought, why not build Elder Ji a new Ten Thousand Poison Palace?

Chu Xinghe had already arranged the disciples from the Earth and Wood Division, and there was no need to redraw the blueprints, just follow the scale of the Grand Sky Palace.

Emphasize luxury.

But Ji Changfeng had no interest in the Ten Thousand Poison Palace and instead chose the Dark Moon Palace.

Facing countless members of the Dark Moon Clan who didn't even need him to speak and would ask if he had any new flavors of poison or poison arts, Ji Changfeng was moved to tears.

In the past, when others heard of his poison arts, they would be scared out of their wits... but look at the Dark Moon Palace.

They would give feedback on the poison without hesitation.

"Elder Ji... the poison I just took wasn't strong enough... although the death was quick, it wasn't painful enough. I believe the poison should not only kill quickly but also highlight the torment before death, that feeling of being tortured at the brink of death should be your ultimate pursuit..."

"Elder Ji... the poison art was painful enough, but just pain without death isn't enough... you need to practice more..."

"Elder Ji... is there a poison that can be taken once and cause repeated deaths?"

"Yes, yes... ideally, take it once and die thirty to fifty times a day for a month..."

Ji Changfeng began to doubt his poison arts again...

However, the Dark Moon Clan also motivated Ji Changfeng to keep advancing, as many poisons were difficult to research due to various constraints.

Take the Butterfly Love Flower, for instance... the Heavenly Cloud Pollen in it is a rare treasure.

Ji Changfeng had to beg and plead for half a year to get a small amount of Heavenly Cloud Pollen.

But now... Ji Changfeng just asked at the Spirit Crane Palace if they had any Heavenly Cloud Pollen.

When the Spirit Crane Palace said they didn't have any, Ji Changfeng was initially a bit disappointed.

But there was nothing he could do... after all, it was Heavenly Cloud Pollen, so Ji Changfeng thought he'd slowly find a way elsewhere...

But the next evening, when Mu Bai and the others carried over a thousand pounds of Heavenly Cloud Pollen and asked Elder Ji if it was enough, and if not, they could cultivate another thirty to fifty acres in Muyue Nation, Ji Changfeng was stunned.

Mu Bai said, "Elder Ji, this Heavenly Cloud Pollen is really hard to cultivate... I had Mu Xiaoqi work on it for a day, and we only produced a little over a thousand pounds... this stuff is truly a rare treasure!"

"But don't worry, Elder Ji, just go ahead and use it... Xiaoqi is already researching ways to speed up cultivation, and at this rate, producing three to five thousand pounds daily shouldn't be a problem. If you need more, I'll tell Xiaoqi to stop being lazy."

Ji Changfeng didn't know when Muyue Nation left, he only knew... with so much Heavenly Cloud Pollen, he could not only make poison from the Butterfly Love Flower...

He could damn well steam buns with Heavenly Cloud Pollen and still kill people with it...

And the most terrifying part was that the Heavenly Cloud Pollen cultivated by Muyue Nation was of higher quality than what he had obtained... isn't that infuriating...

At this moment, Ji Changfeng just wanted to say, damn, the heavens are too favorable to Grand Sky...

I, Ji Changfeng, admit that my previous comments about the Grand Sky Sect being a terrible place were a bit excessive...

Now I just want to say, the Grand Sky Sect is truly a wonderful place.

At this point, not only was Ji Changfeng unwilling to leave, even if the Great Elder came to drive him away, Ji Changfeng would shamelessly stay.

However, Ji Changfeng knew that staying wasn't just about enjoying... he had to work too...

So one day, Ji Changfeng finally made a move on Chu Xinghe...
