Molan smiled, carrying some expression of pride.
"You could tell, it seems my methods weren't too concealed."
Shen Wang frowned upon hearing.
"Rest assured about this, the Black Death Gu is a special kind of Gu poison, very tiny, hidden in the head and hard to detect, unless someone forcibly probes his head."
Molan smiled: "What you did is actually quite good, it allows you to directly ask many secrets, did you find out about the Soul Condensing Grass?"
"He didn't have what you wanted, after all, the Sixth Prince's cultivation is somewhat lacking, not yet capable enough to get hold of any medicine he desires."
Shen Wang stated straightforwardly.
"Got it, if he doesn't have it, he doesn't have it, it's not like it's absolutely necessary."
Molan looked at Shen Wang: "You're so proactive in helping me, don't you need this thing yourself?"
"Who wouldn't want such a good thing?"
Shen Wang answered ambiguously.
"Hehe, men's words truly can't be trusted."
Molan mocked.
"Given the relationship between us, why wouldn't I tell you? I do indeed need this thing to go save someone."
Shen Wang felt there was nothing to hide about it, nodding openly.
"Saving someone? Which of your old flames?" Molan looked playfully.
"It's my brother-in-law, where would so many old flames come from?"
Shen Wang snorted.
"For a brother-in-law, you're willing to hatch a plan for such a thing? Sounds quite loyal indeed."
In Molan's beautiful eyes shone a bit of unusual brilliance.
"Within the scope of my abilities, I'm still willing to help, and you are as well."
Shen Wang said calmly: "Too bad there's no Soul Condensing Grass, even if I were bold, it's impossible to get my hands on it."
"There's always a chance, as long as this spiritual medicine exists, there's a chance."
Molan withdrew her gaze, gracefully walked to stand before the Gu King, and started a new round of absorbing poison power.
The Gu King had grown considerably stronger, so the poison had also grown more potent, causing Molan to spend additional time refining.
Shen Wang watched from the side, feeling that what she was doing was somewhat dangerous, but since Molan dared to do it, she should have some measure of assurance.
"The Poison Dao is also a grand path."
Shen Wang was just pondering whether cultivating Poison Dao also required condensing a Poison Pill, Poisonous Infant, and such, when Silver Moon's voice came from outside the door.
"Shen Wang, come out immediately, there's a task."
Shen Wang took one look at Molan before turning around to go out.
Silver Moon had a stern expression, seeming as if something had happened.
He spoke as if lost in thought: "What task?"
"You're to accompany us on a trip, the Sixth Prince's side needs manpower." Silver Moon commanded unquestionably, turning to leave.
Shen Wang followed curiously: "What's the matter, you're short on people, and you're mobilizing me, a non-combatant."
"Though you are non-combatant, your combat capability is strong, otherwise I wouldn't have called you."
Silver Moon said.
"You still haven't answered my question?"
Shen Wang dragged the topic back.
"The Sixth Prince has gotten himself into some trouble and needs manpower support, what the situation is exactly, you'll have to see for yourself once you arrive."
Molan spoke lightly, merely giving hints without fully explaining.
"Where is the location, surely you can say that?"
Shen Wang saw Chief Steward Shen also approaching, feeling that it wasn't an ordinary trouble.
"The Desolate Ancient Mountain Range behind Jade Silkworm Mountain."
Molan spit out a location, and told the approaching Chief Steward Shen, Celestial Medicine, and others: "My people are gathered."
"Our Jade Silkworm Valley is ready as well."
The Valley Master of Jade Silkworm Valley flew over with a dozen others, one of whom was a Golden Core.
If adding on their side, the number of Golden Cores exceeded five, truly not an ordinary trouble.
"Let's move quickly then, those demons are fierce and brutal, I worry about His Highness meeting with an accident."
Chief Steward Shen said solemnly, with a flick of the wrist, a slender golden boat appeared, and dozens leapt onto it, zooming away in a flash towards the distant mountain range once it glowed.
Shen Wang sat beside Silver Moon, watching the rapidly receding landscape, feeling a bit sudden.
However, he recalled the absence of the Sixth Prince these days, perhaps having entered the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range and encountered danger?
Information about the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range flashed through his mind, showing a look of fear and reminiscence.
The Desolate Ancient Mountain Range, just from the name, known as an ancient mountain range, divides the entire Ninggu Continent in half, stretching over a hundred thousand miles, containing primitive forests inhabited by many demon beasts.
Demon beasts, seldom seen in human realms, are commonplace here, one could say the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range is the territory of various demon beasts, a vast environment nurturing numerous formidable demon races.
It is a considered very dangerous place, as the inhabitants are primarily demon beasts who adhere to survival of the fittest, humans there are viewed as food.
However, due to minimal human interference, it contains a wealth of resources, whether Heavenly and Earthly Treasures or demon beasts themselves are resources.
Demon Pill, and other materials, from demon beasts are good things for humans, he estimated the Sixth Prince entered it to acquire demon beast materials for alchemy.
It's just unknown what dangers he encountered, unable to protect himself and requiring their support.
That guy better die, then I'd have an easier time gaining freedom.
Shen Wang thought to himself.
He sensed someone looking at him, and raised his gaze to find it was Silver Moon.
"Your relationship with Molan is quite good, isn't it?"
Silver Moon casually asked, using voice transmission.
"Not much, just met a few times, what's the matter?"
Shen Wang was puzzled.
"Do you have confidence in neutralizing her poison?" Silver Moon inquired, "I saw you solved troubles for Earth Medicine, so I assume you have some insights."
"Don't think about it, the poison in Earth Medicine was merely a little skill of hers, if she bore killing intent, there wouldn't have been time for me to return."
Shen Wang shook his head.
"Is there really no way?" Silver Moon frowned.
"None."
Shen Wang shook his head, not willing to do such thankless work.
"Alright then."
Silver Moon didn't linger on this, suddenly remarked casually: "I've investigated you, your Dantian damage was due to encounters with demon beasts in this Desolate Ancient Mountain Range."
"You investigated quite thoroughly, indeed that happened, but it was in the outer area of the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range on Celestial Travel Sect's side."
Shen Wang chuckled.
"Was your Dantian able to recover thanks to your bloodline?"
Silver Moon probed.
"Otherwise, without bloodline power, I'd be a cripple now."
Shen Wang said, getting to the point: "What do you mean, why suddenly ask me this?"
"Consider it part of the reason I called you, because you fought demon beasts face to face, a quality most other cultivators lack."
Silver Moon commented, shifting his gaze to the distant forest.
It was noticeable that as they advanced, the nearby foliage grew more towering.
Soon, hundred-meter tall giant trees were seen everywhere, and among the forest, many powerful beasts with apparent intellect were eyeing the ship flying overhead with malintent.
"We've entered the range of the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range, more prone to attacks here, everyone prepare."
Chief Steward Shen reminded, subsequently a barrier rose around the ship's exterior.
Just after the defenses was set up, a sharp cry resounded and several large birds swooped over, crashing against the barrier, their sharp claws leaving marks.
Shen Wang saw these large birds resembled sparrows but were much fiercer, yet their strength wasn't particularly powerful, hardly considered Great Demons, just Little Demons.
Even so, these big birds dared to charge.
He couldn't help but recall the past.
He himself was crippled by such level small demons back then, now it appears these creatures are so weak they could be obliterated with a swipe.
For a moment, everything felt different.
Shen Wang, with a unique mindset, came to anew appreciate everything before him, experiencing deep emotions.
As they advanced, attacking birds increased, the ship's shield began to struggle.
Chief Steward Shen took out a compass and glanced at it, corrected the course, said: "Everyone, you'll need to act shortly, if we don't fly over, it'd be more dangerous below, delaying for much longer."
"Rest assured, Chief Steward Shen, with so many of us, surely we're not going to be stopped by these beasts?"
Sun Yuanjue, the Valley Master of Jade Silkworm Valley responded: "We are familiar with this area, they're just some fierce fowl Little Demons, can't hold us back."
Just as he finished speaking, a large flock of fierce fowl flew out from the forest.
