That day, Shen Wang went to the room for raising Gu, and besides the earlier Five-Colored Spider, there was now a new, more ferocious Seven-Colored Centipede, which had become his newly raised Gu King.
If bitten by these two creatures, even a Golden Core Cultivator would struggle to withstand it.
Shen Wang approached and casually grabbed a few ordinary poisonous insects.
He was now very familiar with poisonous insects, and he could isolate ordinary ones with Spiritual Essence. His Yin Yang Five Elements Spiritual Essence could block almost all toxins, so he wasn't afraid of even the Gu King's poison.
He performed a hand seal to open the protective shield of the array housing the Five-Colored Spider and threw the poisonous insects inside.
The Five-Colored Spider flashed, attempting to escape, but was slapped back by Shen Wang, and the shield was closed again.
The Five-Colored Spider could only let out an angry screech, and the released poison paralyzed the insects Shen Wang had thrown in.
"How many times have you tried and still not given up on escaping? You, like me, love freedom."
Shen Wang muttered, "Pity you're a man-made Gu, not one of those demons that cultivate themselves. Your poison is powerful, but your strength is lacking."
He then threw more insects to the Seven-Colored Centipede, and the two Gu Kings began to gorge themselves.
"Your poison research is almost done. When will you two fight each other to see if you can further improve?"
Shen Wang mumbled while watching the two Gu Kings.
"You're nothing more than a fake Gu King. Lacking strength, it's hard to improve any further."
A cold voice came from behind.
"Rare for Lady Mo to visit; are you here to teach me how to raise a Gu King this time?"
Shen Wang turned around to see a charming woman in a green fitted dress looking at him, her eyes a subtle green, but her lips were a vibrant, dangerous red.
Shen Wang knew that anyone daring to kiss those red lips would definitely be poisoned, with a poison more potent than those of the Gu Kings he raised.
Upon her appearance, the two feeding Gu Kings sensed something, retreating in fear.
This situation wasn't new to Shen Wang; compared to this woman, the two Gu Kings were nothing.
"I've watched you raise them for so long, yet they haven't improved; I can't stand it."
Molan cast a sidelong glance at Shen Wang.
This man was among the rare few on the ship who didn't bow to her, despite her being the nominal consort of the Sixth Prince; even the Four Great Medicine Boys treated her with respect. Yet, this man remained composed without any flattery or reverence.
Curious, she wondered where his confidence came from.
"Please, Lady Mo, offer your guidance."
Shen Wang didn't mind learning from this expert of the Poison Dao.
"You need to feed them Spirit Beast Meat and medicinal herbs to help them grow in strength and transform into true Gu Kings."
Molan calmly said, "The current Gu Kings can be easily slapped to death; their bodies aren't strong enough to carry potent poison. If you continue making them fight, they might even die."
"Makes sense; poisonous creatures and cultivators are similar; they survive on instinct."
Shen Wang nodded.
"Open the shield."
Molan went up to the Gu Kings. The two poisonous insects were extremely tense, like meeting their natural enemy.
Shen Wang opened the shield of the Five-Colored Spider, and Molan caught it. The spider, agitated, bit her hand.
His pupils contracted because he noticed Molan didn't defend herself at all, not releasing any mana.
The Five-Colored Spider bit her hand, releasing venom that entered directly into Molan's body.
Shen Wang was stunned. The spider's poison was fierce enough that even he wouldn't dare get poisoned, yet Molan allowed it to inject venom freely.
He couldn't help but think of Molan's Body of Ten Thousand Poisons, considering the reaction of the two Gu Kings, making him thoughtful.
Perhaps this woman had become a humanoid toxin capable of absorbing poisons for cultivation?
Molan's body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes shimmering as she glanced at Shen Wang: "Aren't you surprised or worried that I'll be poisoned to death?"
"If you're doing this, you must be confident, so there's no reason for me to be alarmed."
Shen Wang took another look at Molan's sensuous, red lips. This woman was becoming increasingly alluring, evoking a sense of impulse.
"Smart, no wonder you can live so well under Song Huirui."
Molan smiled slightly, her aura captivating enough to move a man's heart.
Her pale wrist showed faint colors that transformed into lines like veins extending into her sleeves.
"Are you absorbing the poison?"
Shen Wang asked.
"Yes, my cultivation technique involves refining ten thousand poisons. You can think of me as a humanoid toxin cultivator."
Molan answered calmly, not hiding anything. After all, Shen Wang would see more of this in the future.
"Impressive, I wouldn't dare to do this. After absorbing the poison, wouldn't your whole body become toxic?" Shen Wang feigned ignorance.
"Yes, I am a poison body; would you like to touch and try?"
Molan teased, but in the next moment, she froze.
Shen Wang unhesitatingly placed his hand on her face, even stroking it gently.
"Your skin is nice."
Shen Wang commented, then his hand was coated with a layer of poison gas, which began to invade his body.
He sensed the poison gas, realizing it was indeed mixed and very complex, beyond the reach of simple antidotes.
Most alarming was the energy he felt was likely the poison attribute magical power she cultivated!
He mobilized his Power of the Five Elements, forming a barrier that repelled the poison gas.
The poison gas touched several insects, instantly killing many.
While he was surprised, he found himself being watched by a pair of gloomy eyes.
"You really dare to touch my face; do you know the consequences if Song Huirui finds out?"
Shen Wang shrugged: "You won't tell him, will you? Besides, you invited me to touch."
Molan laughed, like a dangerous rose with thorns: "You are quite bold."
"There's no one else here, so I'm not afraid."
Shen Wang said calmly. Since he had been in charge here, others stayed outside while he researched poisons, only coming in when needed.
"With a personality like yours, you won't be content being under anyone."
Molan withdrew her gaze, the Five-Colored Spider in her hand now dull and listless. She put it back and then went to grab the Seven-Colored Centipede.
"You should prepare some Spiritual Snake Meat for them; it will help them recover quickly."
Shen Wang directly instructed people outside to prepare; he now had two subordinates at his disposal.
Continuing to watch Molan, as she absorbed the second Gu King's poison, she showed clear signs of strain, her body trembling, sweat forming on her brow, and toxic energy fluctuating from her.
"It seems your cultivation technique is quite painful."
Shen Wang speculated.
"Poison attacks the meridians and internal organs. You tell me if it's painful."
Molan gasped, sitting on the ground as she absorbed the poison.
"It's tough for you."
Shen Wang sighed. He knew Molan didn't need to do this originally; it was to avoid being touched by Song Huirui that she chose this risky path.
Molan hadn't expected such words from Shen Wang, and her heart was touched, showing some vulnerability and a bitter smile: "If there were a choice, who would want ten thousand poisons gnawing at their heart?"
"Won't this kill you?"
Shen Wang was curious.
"It's unlikely but requires constant poison absorption, using poison to fight poison. Otherwise, the poison inside might go out of control."
Molan said: "There's another way, which is to ensure the Divine Soul is strong enough to use telekinesis to control the poison power."
"A strong Divine Soul…"
Shen Wang's eyes lit up: "Aside from focusing on cultivating the Divine Soul, it's best to have Elixirs and Medicinal Herbs that enhance the Divine Soul, like the Soul Condensing Pill and Soul Condensing Grass."
He had checked the Sixth Prince's medical book and knew the use of Soul Condensing Grass, which was to consolidate and strengthen the Divine Soul. Seeing he brought it up, he mentioned it naturally.
"Who wouldn't want that, but it's something even Nascent Soul Great Cultivators find hard to obtain."
Molan shook her head.
"The Sixth Prince should have some, right? If you ask, he should give them to you."
Shen Wang suggested bluntly.
"Him? Not to mention whether he would give them, the key is whether they have them."
Molan mocked.
"With his connections, he should be able to get them, right?" Shen Wang said.
"These aid Nascent Soul Great Cultivators in Divinity Transformation. How many would be willing to part with them?"
Molan murmured, "Our Jade Silkworm Valley's ancestor once obtained them and used them right away. In my case, I can only rely on myself, so there's no need to speak further."
