Chapter 425: Chapter 178: Effects of the Blood Talisman Spiritual Body, Ten Thousand Poisons Devour the Heart_3
```
"Moreover, I'm only at the fourth level of energy refinement; venturing into such ruins would be tantamount to courting death,"
Lu Xianzhi heard his father's words and cracked a smile.
"Good, as long as you know."
Seeing his son was aware, Lu Changsheng also nodded in relief.
After all, stories of insignificant characters in the Cultivation World stumbling upon adventures and rising to prominence occurred every day.
He genuinely feared that his son, in a moment of folly, or after being coaxed by some Robber Cultivator, would run off on some escapade.
Therefore, even if he had already advised him on this matter before, he still continued with his earnest admonitions.
...
Five Poisons Cult.
Tianzhu Peak.
In an antique and luxurious room, a multicolored spring pool emitted steaming purple mist.
Neatly folded by the pool were snow-white silken garments with golden trim, a bodice embroidered with a purple phoenix, plain lingerie, and jade-white stockings.
There was also a terrifying blood-colored spider, its entire body emitting a sinister red light.
Within the multicolored spring, there was a breathtakingly beautiful girl with an ethereal demeanor.
The beautiful girl's eyes were tightly closed, with only her head and jet-black hair floating on the water's surface.
"Xiao Chan, come to my great hall."
Just then, a voice echoed in the girl's mind.
"Master?"
Meng Xiaochan, upon hearing the voice, opened her eyes.
She immediately stood up from the multicolored spring, utterly nude.
In an instant, the perfection of the girl's figure was revealed without a doubt.
Her slender waist seemed to ask for a gentle embrace, and her legs were straight and long.
Her dark, smooth hair cascaded down, covering her pert buttocks shaped like a new moon.
Her skin, still dotted with multicolored droplets, made her jade-like complexion even more sparklingly translucent and dazzling, as if her entire body was aglow.
The girl floated up, her pale hand lightly lifting.
The multicolored droplets slid off her skin, causing the clothes by the pool to fly up and dress her neatly.
Meng Xiaochan, now clothed in purple, had an ethereal and elusive aura, just like that of a celestial fairy.
This contrasted starkly with the terrifying blood-colored spider beside her.
Exiting the room, Meng Xiaochan transformed into an escape light and arrived at a magnificent palace atop the peak, directly entering it.
This great hall was exceedingly magnificent and splendid.
The floor was paved with black jade that shone with a slick brightness, and the walls had elaborately carved beams and painted rafters.
But the images all depicted snakes, spiders, butterflies, and all sorts of insects.
The walls were further adorned with lamp fixtures shaped like spirit snakes, made of silver, which added a mysterious, eerie chill to the room.
"Bzzz bzzz bzzz—"
Upon seeing Meng Xiaochan approach, a purple jade spider with over a dozen pairs of eyes by the ebony bed opened its eyes.
"I greet you, Master!"
Meng Xiaochan, seeing this scene, remained composed and respectfully bowed to the ebony bed.
"Xiao Chan, you're here,"
A languid, seductive voice came from within the purple gauze of the bed, bewitching to the soul.
"May I know why Master has summoned me here?"
Meng Xiaochan continued to speak.
The purple gauze curtains slowly parted.
On the ebony bed, a woman in a purple dress, around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, was lounging.
Her face was stunningly beautiful and enchanting, her slender phoenix eyes appearing as though she had just woken from a dream, misty like blooming peach blossoms, her gaze fluid and compelling, with a bewitching power that could make one lose their soul.
Her reclining posture revealed her alluring figure wrapped in the purple dress, accentuating an extraordinarily curvaceous body from head to toe, clear at a glance.
Beneath the proud and prominent swell of her chest was a waist as delicate as a willow, leading down to her full and pert rear.
The tantalizing curves were breathtaking, vaguely visible beneath the purple gauze, creating an allure of both concealment and revelation.
Her two long, fair legs were slightly bent, enthralling like the tail of a serpent.
"Xiao Chan, I remember you used to live in Jiang Country, didn't you?"
Nangong Mili's luscious lips parted slightly, her voice irresistibly charming.
```
"Master, I have lived in Jiang Country since I was young," Lu Changsheng replied.
Meng Xiaochan nodded.
"I have a task that requires a trip to Jiang Country."
"In that case, you will accompany me when it is time to go."
The woman in the purple dress rose from her ink jade bed with a languid elegance.
A strand of black hair twirled past her ear and fell upon her ample and proud chest.
The purple sheer dress fell, lightly covering her snow-white legs that resembled sculpted jade.
"To Jiang Country?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Xiaochan felt a sudden pause in her heart.
An involuntarily image of a man with a noble and handsome face, a tall and slender figure, swept into her mind like a willow in the breeze.
"That's right, you are currently at the bottleneck of the early stages of Foundation Establishment, so it's a good time for you to travel with me."
"This mission, if successful, will also be beneficial to you; it's an opportunity," Nangong Mili said softly, her voice sultry.
"Master, may I know what the task is?" Meng Xiaochan asked.
"You'll know when the time comes."
Nangong Mili's delicate steps moved nimbly as she came beside Meng Xiaochan, chuckling softly.
Her voice was full of seductive charm.
Or it could be said that her entire being exuded an enthralling seductiveness, capable of ensnaring souls and eroding bones, inciting temptation in the observer, fostering a desire to ravish her.
"Master, when do we leave?"
Meng Xiaochan asked, not pressing further.
The command of a master is not to be disobeyed.
Besides, Nangong Mili's personal involvement indicated that the mission was no simple affair.
Moreover, considering the vast expanse of the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm, as long as she didn't encounter him, going to Jiang Country shouldn't pose a big problem.
"One month later."
Nangong Mili said, her lips parting slightly as her jade-white fingers gently caressed Meng Xiaochan's face.
"Yes, Master," Meng Xiaochan nodded in agreement.
"How is your progress with the Myriad Poisons Devouring Heart Technique?" the woman in the purple dress continued to inquire as she pinched her disciple's cheek.
"Please inspect it, Master," Meng Xiaochan replied, offering her fair wrist for examination.
Her skin was exceptionally pale, yet Nangong Mili's complexion was even whiter.
It was an unhealthy shade of white that added a certain sickly enchantment to her slender yet voluptuous figure, evoking pity and tenderness.
"Not bad, you truly deserve your title of the Thousand Strands Myriad Poisons Body. Now, you have reached a minor completion of the poison body."
"If this mission is completed to perfection, I will apply for a Heart-Eating Gu for you at the sect," Nangong Mili said, her enchanting face showing a faint smile, looking captivating.
"Thank you, Master!" Upon hearing this, Meng Xiaochan's face instantly lit up with joy.
The Thousand Strands Myriad Poisons Body is a type of Spiritual Body.
The Five Poisons Cult, incidentally, happens to have this Spiritual Body legacy.
With the Heart-Eating Gu, her Myriad Poisons Devouring Heart Technique could reach major success.
Not only would her mana be greatly enhanced by fifty percent, but her chances of achieving Core Formation would also increase by fifty percent.
Providing her with a high likelihood of attaining True Elixir!
"It's a pity I lost the Lockheart Gu; otherwise, with it, to become the Holy Maiden of the Five Poisons Cult, there would have been no need for all this trouble," Meng Xiaochan sighed softly to herself.
She remembered the Lockheart Gu that was now in Lu Changsheng's hands.
This Lockheart Gu was a top-level Earth Spirit Gu, nearing the level of a Heavenly Spirit Gu.
Even within the Five Poisons Cult, it was exceedingly rare.
