Chapter 59: The Man in the Fog (Second Update, Seeking Collections!)

  This is a young man, looking about eighteen years old, with disheveled hair and a crazed look, thick eyebrows, thin lips, slightly stout build, and tightly closed eyes, it's unclear whether he has fainted or not.

  However, what surprised Qin Xuan was that on the young man's body, a thick cocoon wrapped around him, only exposing his head, and he was suspended on the stone wall, gently swaying. Around his body, countless black air currents lingered, apparently the same poisonous gas that had attacked Qin Xuan earlier!

  But here the poisonous gas is thicker! More!

  "How can there be humans here?" Without rushing to approach the young man again, Qin Xuan furrowed his brow in contemplation, somewhat puzzled. In the Death Fog, the toxicity was extremely high, and ordinary people were extremely unwilling to get close, unless they had a powerful force as their backing, or like him, possessed the capital to defy the toxic gas.

  Obviously, this young man in front of him doesn't seem to be the first type, otherwise he wouldn't be trapped here. So it's the latter, that is, having the capital to fear these poisonous gases.

  Thinking of this, Qin Xuan couldn't help but carefully observe the young man again. Indeed, although the young man had been keeping his head down all along, there was still a sound of breathing coming from him, and he hadn't died yet.

  But what is this guy doing in the Death Fog? Is he here to pick spirit grass like me?

  "Hmm..."

  Just as Qin Xuan was lost in thought, a faint moan suddenly came from the front. His heart skipped a beat, and he looked up to see a young man who had been keeping his head down slowly raise it, his gaze directed towards the youth's direction.

  Four eyes met, Qin Xuan's body involuntarily shook, as if he had fallen into the abyss of hell, with countless ghosts wailing around him, a chill that pierced to the bone marrow struck, making his heart tremble.

  What a pair of eyes, the whites almost occupy half of the eyeball, the pupils are dull and filled with coldness and indifference. Just one glance makes you feel like being stared at by a venomous snake, making your hair stand on end and sending shivers down your spine.

  His face was somewhat unhealthy pale, like a dead person, and white in a way that made people fearful.

  "Human?" The young man also looked surprised to see the boy, stunned for a while before saying in his hoarse voice, "I didn't expect another one who doesn't know how to live."

  The young man's tone was full of thick sarcasm, and then he noticed that the boy in front of him could actually withstand the toxic gas here. To think that even he himself could only barely withstand it, yet the boy looked much more relaxed than himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

  Does this kid have an even stronger physique than himself?

  Qin Xuan's eyebrows furrowed, what did this young man mean? Was he saying that there were others here too?

  "That's right." As if he had seen through the young man's thoughts, the young man chuckled and said in a low voice, "Before you, there were no less than ten people who came here..."

  As he said this, the young man paused, a hint of helplessness flashing across his face, and sighed, "But they're all dead now."

  "Is he dead?"

  "Haha, it's all been eaten by that beast." The young man burst into another sinister laugh, his eyes fixed tightly on the youth. "I advise you to leave, but I'm afraid it's too late, that beast must have already noticed you."

  Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan fell silent, the "beast" mentioned by the young man was obviously that powerful fifth-tier magical beast. As for being targeted by a fifth-tier magical beast, Qin Xuan had already anticipated it and was mentally prepared, so he didn't have too much psychological burden. After a moment, he furrowed his brow and asked, "Why are you here? And why is nothing wrong?"

  On the contrary, this strange man in front of him made Qin Xuan feel even more peculiar.

  "Hmm... I'm here because this place is beneficial for my cultivation." The young man thought for a long time before smiling, a hint of eeriness flashing across his pale face. "As for why I'm unharmed, it's simple - I have the body of a thousand poisons. That beast doesn't dare harm me yet, so it can only seal me here and use the toxic air to refine me into a poison pill."

  A young man's face showed a hint of pride, filled with disdain and contempt. "Hmph, but beasts are just beasts. The toxic air here not only doesn't harm me, but also has great benefits. You think you can use this toxic air to refine me? Heh heh..."

  "What?!"

  A young man's simple sentence, however, stirred up a storm in Qin Xuan's heart, his eyes filled with incredulity, his mouth slightly agape, and his gaze fixed intently on the young man's somewhat pale face.

  The Body of All Poisons! It's actually the Body of All Poisons!

  Rumor has it that the body of Wan Du is a powerful physique from ancient times, and among hundreds of millions of people, not one will be born with such a physique. It's extremely rare, but they are also extremely powerful, born immune to all poisons, and possessing all poisons themselves. If they don't make a move, nothing will happen, but once they do, no one will survive. Their poison control skills are enough to make even the strongest on the continent tremble with fear.

  Qin Xuan remembered reading in a book that over a thousand years ago, there was a powerful body of a million poisons on the mainland. Later, for some reason, it was jointly killed by many strong people on the mainland, including more than ten full-circle Huashen period powerhouses, five early True Saint realm powerhouses, and one late True Saint realm powerhouse.

  However, the book does not have too much detailed description of that war, only recording that the strong man with the body of ten thousand poisons was killed in the end, but still caused heavy casualties to the other side. Only two people survived, but their vital energy was exhausted and they fell soon after.

  "You're saying you have the Body of a Thousand Poisons?" Qin Xuan still couldn't believe it, this physique that existed only in legends was actually standing right in front of him.

  He raised an eyebrow and the young man did not return directly, but instead asked, "Kid, you came to this ghostly place, should be looking for Ice Nether Spirit Grass, right?"

  He nodded slightly, and Qin Xuan didn't dwell on this matter either. Even if the man was the legendary Body of Ten Thousand Poisons, what did it have to do with himself?

  At this, a bright light flashed in the young man's eerie eyes, his voice full of temptation. "I know where the Ice Spirit Grass is. Let me go and I'll tell you. The Ice Spirit Grass is useless to me, so you don't have to worry about me competing with you for it."

  Let the young man go?

  Qin Xuan hesitated, first of all, this guy was too evil, whether it was the tone of his speech or the aura emanating from his body, it made him feel very suspicious. Moreover, from the moment they met to now, it had not even been five minutes, and whether the other person was trustworthy or not was still a very serious question.

  However, this guy is the only one who knows where the Ice Spirit Grass has fallen...

  "Save him, or not?" Qin Xuan's mind was constantly weighing the options.

  "Don't be afraid, let me out, you can have what you want, you really want to possess the Ice Spirit Grass, don't you? Come on."

  As he spoke, a scarlet air current suddenly burst out from the young man's body surface, intersecting and entwining with the surrounding black air currents, like red snakes, coiling towards the youth.

  A dazed look appeared in his eyes, Qin Xuan's body gradually lost control, and his mind was suddenly blank. His feet slowly moved towards the young man, and his hands also slowly rose up.

  "That's right, it's like that, slowly, slowly..." The young man muttered softly, the crimson airflow around him grew more intense, gradually covering the black airflow, and his eyes also flickered with excited light.

  "Not true!"

  Just as Qin Xuan's hands were about to touch the thick cocoon, his body shook violently and he suddenly came back to his senses, instantly breaking out in a cold sweat. His body rapidly retreated backwards, his eyes staring warily at the young man from afar.

  A cold sweat trickled down Qin Xuan's forehead, almost, just almost, he had made a terrible mistake!

  A surge of anger suddenly ignited in his heart, shooting straight to his forehead, and his expression turned extremely cold at that moment. This guy actually wanted to control him!

  Qin Xuan could not bear the most, was being controlled by others, last time "Heroic God's Classic" was just like that, so he insisted on turning against "Heroic God's Classic", and this time, it was obviously more serious!

  "Just a little bit more."

  He sighed, the young man's face showed a hint of regret, as if ignoring the boy's anger, his mouth curled up and smiled, "It seems that your willpower is not bad, you can even resist my charming poison."

  This poison doesn't cause much harm to the body, mainly affecting a person's will and thoughts. If someone with an unstable mind is affected, they might even become a living dead person, or a puppet.

  "Hmm!"

  Qin Xuan's mouth also curled up with a cold smile, "The body of the Ten Thousand Poisons is indeed formidable, but wanting to control me, isn't that thinking too simply?"

  "Maybe." The young man looked unimpressed, the crimson energy also being absorbed into his body. He continued to smile and said, "How about it? Let me go, and the Ice Nether Spirit Grass is yours."

  "Do you think it's still possible?"

  "Absolutely!" The young man was extremely confident. Everyone who entered the Death Fog, except for him, came for the Ice Soul Grass!

  "Sorry to disappoint you."

  Unexpectedly, Qin Xuan let out a cold laugh and drove the "Pursuing Wind" to turn around and prepare to leave. Although he needed the Ice Spirit Grass, he didn't need to be so humble and servile. On the premise that the other party wanted to control him, he still had the nerve to come forward and ask for a beating.

  Moreover, this is not Qin Xuan's style. In his opinion, since you are so confident, then he will thoroughly crush that confidence of yours and see what capital you have left to continue talking!

  Aren't you going out? Now it's your turn to ask me!

  Watching the boy slowly walk away, the young man finally came back to his senses after a long time, and a look of anxiety suddenly appeared on his face. He hastily shouted, "Wait!"

  Qin Xuan ignored him and continued forward.

  "Hey! Kid, wait up! Don't you know that in this vast and mysterious fog, only with my help can you find the Ice Spirit Grass?"

  "Come back!"

  “……”

  Behind him, voices of despair or anger kept coming, but Qin Xuan didn't pay any attention to them, and his speed slowed down a bit.

  "Hiss."

  At this moment, a shrill sound suddenly came from the white fog, and there was also a strong smell of blood that spread out. The originally calm fog began to stir crazily, as if something was coming towards this direction.

  "Damn it, that beast is coming! Let me go quickly! Quick!" Behind him, the young man shouted loudly, his pale face turned red, and the blue veins on his forehead bulged out as his body struggled violently.

  Qin Xuan suddenly raised his head, a sense of unprecedented crisis wandering in his heart, and his expression became extremely solemn. Especially after hearing the man's words, he stopped "pursuing the wind" and looked up to gaze into the distance.
