The wonderful use of Wu Du Zhen

  The toad looked up at the spider web on the top of the cave with a sigh and said, "I helped her lick her wound and carried her into the cave. I thought she was a poor girl, so I just helped her."

  Ling'er giggled and said: "See, I told you he's a good frog."

  "I'm not worthy, I'm just a humble toad. Cough... spit... The toad spat out another glob of mucus and continued, "Later, she recovered from her injuries, and I asked her, 'You're a young lady, how did you end up like this, even more disgusting than a mother toad?' She told me that originally, she was in love with a scholar, but later the scholar's family offended a young master named Long, and were exterminated. The scholar was heartbroken, and came to her to pour out his emotions. She was also infatuated, and had inherited a forbidden poisonous manual from her family. She loved the scholar deeply, and for his sake, she began to practice the poisonous manual. After practicing, she became formidable, and helped the scholar wipe out the entire Long family. But as a result, she contracted poison in her body, and disfigured herself. Later, the scholar lost interest in her, and went off to frolic with other women. She loved deeply, and hated deeply, and in a fit of rage, she went on to exterminate another family. Finally, heartbroken and despairing, she became disillusioned with the world. She heard that there was a toad spirit in this cave, so she came up the mountain to find me and seek death."

  "Scholars are all so cheap." Lin Yue Ru hummed softly, "Fortunately, I had already drawn a clear line with Liu Jin Yuan early on."

  Fang Xian asked: "Brother Ge, how were you forced? Were you pushed down?"

  The big toad sighed: "Hmph, let's just forget about this."

  “……”

  “……”

  Even if Fang Xian had racked his brains, he couldn't have imagined how that woman could knock down the giant toad. This was too bizarre, and only someone with Mud Thunder's imagination could have come up with this scenario.

  The big toad continued to complain: "After she got on me, she stayed in this hole and wouldn't leave. She said that all the people in the world are bad, only I, this toad, am good. I'm a reasonable toad, so I started to persuade her, but no matter how I explained or persuaded, it was useless. Later, she became more and more vicious, starting to brew poisonous things in my hole, and cruelly using my body as a container. Over time, I ended up like this... actually, my skin used to be quite smooth, cough... spit."

  Another mouthful of thick phlegm spat onto the ground, it's unclear whether this is a natural trait of the toad or an effect of the poison.

  "What has she cultivated?" Fang Xian asked.

  "Wudu Pearl." The toad replied, "She wants to use a large amount of poison to break through the extreme toxicity, according to the description of their family's poisonous spectrum, when things reach an extreme they will reverse, so that pearl is refined, it will actually become a treasure that is immune to all poisons. She thinks that by swallowing that pearl, she can restore her youth. In fact, this pearl has long been refined in my body, but I know that even if you eat a hundred of these pearls, your skin cannot be reborn. To avoid disappointing her, I've been holding it in my stomach and not giving it to her, that's all. Cough... Spit."

  "What a kind and good toad." Ling'er originally wanted to go up and rub his head, but seeing those warts and mucus still made her frown. "Since that's the case, the woman is already dead, you can continue your life, just move away from the entrance and let us pass, we won't fight anymore."

  "It's exactly what I meant, finally met someone who talks reason, I hate being ruthless the most." The toad hopped aside and made way for the entrance, "I won't see you off, there are many Taoist priests over there."

  Fang Xian grabbed Ling'er and shook his head: "Ling'er, this toad must be killed."

  "Oh? Why?"

  "For the Five Poison Pearl!" Fang Xian had never been so interested in a treasure since he started playing this game.

  "What's the use of the Five Poisons Pearl? With me around to detoxify, what do we need it for?" Ling'er found her opponent's uncharacteristic behavior quite puzzling. "Aren't you usually not fond of picking up treasures?"

  "This time is different, it's for our child!" Fang Xian said with a sentimental tone, while gazing at Lin Yue Ru with tender affection.

  Lin Yue Ru panicked: "What... what does this have to do with Guan's child?"

  "Listen to me slowly." Fang Xian's eyes had always been calm, knowing what to do at any time. "The old master said that after the game is over, I can bring back three treasures to reality."

  "Do you want to bring the Five-Poison Pearl?!" Lin Yue was puzzled, "The outside world isn't that poisonous, besides, you're a doctor yourself, what do you need it for?"

  "The doctor is not omnipotent, many poisons are anti-human and against the heavens, they exist beyond my sight and solution... such as poisonous milk powder, Sudan red, plastic preservatives and so on... With this Five Poison Pearl, mom will no longer have to worry about choosing milk powder, and in the future, eating mixed spicy hot pot with diarrhea-inducing ingredients, eating lymph node-made meat buns, and eating gutter oil-fried dough sticks will be fearless!!"

  "Cough... Ah-choo." The toad pondered for a moment, "That makes sense."

  "Look at this, my brother is in a state of perfect tranquility. Learn from him."

  Zhao Ling'er's face turned red as she asked, "Then... we won't need milk powder, my milk is not enough for sister's, and sister's is not enough for mine."

  Lin Yue Ru's face also turned red and she stopped speaking.

  "Toad advised: 'You can't think that way, mom's milk may not be enough, human women don't have milk if they're not pregnant, and if you can't afford a wet nurse, you'll still have to use formula, you can't deprive the child.'"

  Fang Xian was so moved that he burst into tears: "Brother Ge is really a wise man!"

  "Hmm, I see you're determined to get this Five Poison Pearl. If I don't give it to you, I'd be chopped into pieces." The toad coughed violently for half a day and then spat out a small white pearl mixed with mucus onto the ground.

  "Take it away!" The toad stuck out its tongue and licked the corner of its mouth, "I'm a reasonable toad, you do your part, I'll do mine."

  "Ling'er, cast an ice spell to clean this up..."

  Ling'er's ice spell probably cleaned up the pearl a bit, and Fang Xian dared to pick it up and put it in his bag.

  "Thank you, Brother Ge. Do you have such plans for the future?" Fang Xian looked at Brother Ge, as if seeing the shadow of his snake brother, feeling a bit melancholic and nostalgic.

  "Cough... spit..." The toad hopped away, "I'm still far from the truth, I want to think more in this relatively quiet environment and strive for a breakthrough in my understanding. Slowly walking away without sending off."

  "What a toad that pursues the truth." Fang Xian admired, this toad is different from Snake Brother, Snake Brother is to escape certain certain snails living in the cave, while this toad is more like a recluse.

  Ling'er and Yuè Rú were still entwined together, discussing the matter of breast milk.

  "Sister, will this little one really have no milk?"

  "Don't... don't be afraid... I'll take care of it when the time comes."

  "But I heard that Master Toad said... you must have a baby in your belly... to have milk, and sister is still a virgin..."

  “……”

  "Why don't you get pregnant too, and we'll suffer together. We can give birth at the same time and take care of each other."

  “……”

  Fang Xian suddenly came over: "This makes a lot of sense."

  But then a deep voice came from the depths of the cave, a toad's low and mysterious laughter: "That's absurd logic. If there were two children, there would be even less milk... Ha——ha——ha——"

  "Clam brother, you're too poor."
