Chapter 94 Arrival at the Poison Dragon Swamp

[Day 25 of the Dream]

More than thirty cultivators from the Talisman Hall who were willing to explore the ancient ruins of the Poison Dragon Swamp had gathered in front of the main hall.

As soon as Jiang Chen stood still, a familiar figure came to greet him.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the visitor was Zhao Changzhou.

Jiang Chen immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Zhao. Congratulations on your return to the sect. It seems you are on the verge of Foundation Establishment."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Changzhou's face showed a hint of disappointment, but it vanished in an instant.

He took a closer look at Jiang Chen: "Junior Brother Jiang's strength has improved by leaps and bounds; he has already become a Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivator."

"I'm afraid it won't be long before they catch up with me."

Jiang Chen shook his head slightly: "I also heard about the ancient ruins of the Poison Dragon Swamp. In order to increase my chances of survival, I used the Spirit Gathering Pill to improve my cultivation."

Compared to your honed skills honed through countless trials, I am still far behind.

Just then, a slightly aged but powerful voice rang out.

"Is everyone here? Then come with me to the ancient ruins of Poison Dragon Swamp."

Before he finished speaking, a gray-white flying boat more than ten feet long appeared out of thin air.

An old man leaped into the air and landed at the bow of the ship; he was none other than Yuan Fu Zhenren, the master of the Talisman Hall.

He glanced at the disciples below and said, "Come up here, don't delay the time."

Everyone leaped into the air and landed on the flying boat.

As soon as Jiang Chen landed on the flying boat, he saw Zhao Changzhou also board the flying boat.

He was filled with doubt: "Senior Brother Zhao, are you also going to explore the ancient ruins?"

Zhao Changzhou is already a disciple of Yuanfu Zhenren. Even though he offended people before, he has accumulated many years of experience in the Black Stone Mountain Market and should now be eligible for a Foundation Establishment position.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Changzhou sighed: "Back then, I crippled a disciple of the direct lineage, and they clung to me relentlessly, refusing to give me any spiritual items for foundation building."

"If I want to establish my foundation, the only way is to go to the ancient ruins."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen felt even more that Master Yuanfu was far too weak.

But since Master Yuanfu was right beside him, he didn't say anything more.

After everyone boarded the ship, a transparent barrier rose above the flying boat, and then it sped off in the due south direction.

This flying boat is extremely fast; it can travel at least two or three hundred miles in an hour.

The strong winds at high altitude were completely blocked by the barrier, and the people on the airship were not affected in the slightest.

Soon, the flying boat flew out of the Golden Cauldron Sect's mountain gate and headed southwest.

Just then, a black light caught up from behind.

After catching up with the flying boat, the black light dissipated, revealing a giant black stone sword more than ten feet long.

On the giant sword, there was a large group of late-stage Qi Refining cultivators with considerable aura.

A middle-aged man dressed in black, carrying an empty sword sheath on his back, stood at the very front of the crowd; this was none other than Master Iron Sword.

There was also a transparent barrier covering the giant sword.

The flying boat and the giant sword traveled side by side, and the two sides bowed to each other.

There were only about twenty cultivators on the Talisman Hall's flying boat, but a full one hundred and fifty or sixty people on the giant sword.

Of course, this is not surprising.

To enter the Guardian Hall, all you need is the ability to fight. Most rogue cultivators who have reached the late stage of Qi Refining can meet the requirements.

To enter the Talisman Hall, one needs to have a great talent in the art of talismans. Only one in hundreds or thousands of independent cultivators can produce such a talent.

For this reason, the number of disciples in the Guardian Hall is definitely the largest among all the halls of the Golden Cauldron Sect.

Whenever a contest of magic is required, the Guardian Hall naturally sends out the most people.

Master Tiejian glanced at the flying boat and saw Jiang Chen meditating on it.

He smiled and said, "I heard that these days, Jiang Chen from your Talisman Hall has been selling second-grade, low-level talismans at a reasonable price, which has helped many of our disciples from other sects."

"Senior Brother Yuanfu, it's truly commendable that your Talisman Hall has cultivated such a sensible disciple!"

Master Yuanfu also had a smile on his face, but it carried a hint of awkwardness.

"Brother Iron Sword, you flatter me. Your Guardian Hall is truly full of talented people. In terms of combat, our Talisman Hall can't keep up."

Whether our outsider faction can secure a larger share of Shennong Garden this time largely depends on the disciples of your Guardian Hall.

Master Tiejian nodded slightly: "When it comes to risking one's life, it's naturally up to my Guardian Hall."

"Both of our factions are outsiders, so we should help and support each other."

……

Poison Dragon Marsh is located south of the Golden Scale River, about 600-700 li southwest of the Golden Cauldron Sect's mountain gate.

Not far to its south lies the Changyuan Mountain defense line.

Because of the existence of the Changyuan Mountain defense line, Poison Dragon Swamp is completely within the sphere of influence of the Golden Cauldron Sect.

Otherwise, the appearance of ancient relics would have already sparked a scramble among other forces.

Two and a half hours later, the outsiders arrived above the Poison Dragon Swamp.

Jiang Chen leaned over the gunwale, peering down at the situation below.

Below him stretched an extremely vast swamp, the edge of which was completely invisible to Jiang Chen's eyesight.

It features a shimmering lake, dense reed beds, muddy ground covered with withered grass, and hills of varying sizes.

A thin layer of mist covered the entire Poison Dragon Swamp. The mist was multicolored and looked extremely dangerous.

The flying boat and the giant sword flew to the top of a crumbling mountain and slowly landed on a relatively flat rocky ground on the north side of the hill.

The surrounding area was full of rocks of all sizes. The entire hill covered an area of ​​five or six miles, but not a single blade of grass grew there.

The group of Qi Refining cultivators who had just landed were all looking around at their surroundings, seemingly trying to find the entrance to the ancient ruins.

Both Master Tiejian and Master Yuanfu were gazing towards the northeast, presumably waiting for the arrival of their direct descendants.

Jiang Chen released his divine sense to probe his surroundings, then his expression turned grim. He immediately took out a black pill from his storage pouch and popped it into his mouth.

Although the area around this low hill appears to be clear and sunny, there is actually poisonous fog present.

However, this poisonous fog is extremely thin, invisible to the naked eye, and even Qi Refining cultivators find it very difficult to detect with their divine sense.

But if no precautions are taken, the poisonous fog will continuously erode the body. By the time one feels it clearly, it may be too late to save oneself.

Seeing him swallow the pill, Zhao Changzhou asked, "Junior Brother Jiang, what did you discover?"

Jiang Chen didn't hold back; he immediately took out a black pill from his storage bag and handed it to Zhao Changzhou.

"There is an extremely thin layer of toxic fog here, and we don't know what harm it will cause."

To be on the safe side, it would be best to take a miasma-avoiding pill first.

The Miasma-Avoiding Pill is a high-grade first-class elixir, its effects primarily acting on the lungs. It offers some degree of protection against inhaled poisons.

Zhao Changzhou did not hesitate and immediately took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

"I've long heard that Junior Brother Jiang not only has an extremely high talent for talismans, but also an excellent talent for alchemy."

"I never expected you could refine such a high-quality miasma-avoiding pill in such a short time."

Upon hearing this, the other Qi Refining cultivators also took out their prepared antidote pills and swallowed them.

Iron Sword Master looked at Jiang Chen with an expression full of admiration.

"You little guy are quite capable, being able to detect the thin poisonous fog here. Such divine sense is extremely rare even among Qi Refining Peak cultivators."

"Why don't you come to my Guardian Hall? I can take you as my disciple."

Although you are not suited to learn my swordsmanship, as a Core Formation cultivator, I can still teach you other things.
