The most intelligent general in the world

Chapter 112 Detoxification

Zhang Liang looked at the inconspicuous black snake in front of him without much interest. It was far inferior to the one that attacked the Taoist priest in Beihai before, and had just stepped into the threshold of a second-level spiritual beast.

However, seeing the little monkey's eagerness, Zhang Liang still took it. Then he carefully observed the poison pool in front of him. The pool was irregularly round in shape, with a diameter of only about thirty or forty feet, but Zhang Liang's powerful spiritual sense detected that it was seven or eight feet deep, and there was no living creature in it.

"rise!"

Zhang Liang waved his hand casually, and a ball of water flew into his hand. It was clear and transparent, completely different from the pool of water that looked as dark as night. Moreover, Zhang Liang did not realize that the water contained any toxicity.

"This is weird. It's obviously a poisonous pond, but the water here is not poisonous..." Zhang Liang pondered for a moment.

"Squeak!"

"You said there's a treasure hidden under this poisonous pond? Haha, I knew that a long time ago..."

Zhang Liang smiled and jumped into the pool without hesitation. When his body approached the water surface, a layer of light appeared around him, and the water was unable to touch him at all.

"This water-avoiding technique is really useful!" Zhang Liang smiled, and then he disappeared into the pool of water.

The pool was about 20 to 30 feet deep, and it only took Zhang Liang a moment to dive to the bottom.

"This is……"

Zhang Liang's eyes fell on a piece of black and white jade, and he was immediately excited. The jade was only the size of a baby's fist, black as ink, white as mutton fat, and the black and white were clearly distinguished, showing a Tai Chi pattern.

“Yin Yang Jade, I didn’t expect there would be such a treasure in this world!”

Zhang Liang carefully picked up the Yin-Yang Jade, but did not dare to touch the black side. After a moment, he emerged from the pool and began to carefully examine the strange jade in his hand.

"The Yin-Yang Jade gathers all the energy of heaven and earth in one, transforming yin and yang into magic, and has infinite uses. For those who practice Yin-Yang techniques, it is a treasure they dream of!"

Zhang Liang was filled with emotion. If he had gotten this jade earlier, he would have definitely chosen to practice the Yin-Yang technique and achieve the Yin-Yang Dao body. Among all the heavens and the myriad worlds, the Yin-Yang Dao is one of the top Daos.

"It's a pity that such a good piece of Yin-Yang Jade was ruined by two beasts. It's not easy to restore it to its original state."

Although he was expressing regret, Zhang Liang's face was filled with joy. The existence of the Yin-Yang Jade meant that his life-saving magic weapon had finally been found.

The natal magic weapon is different from ordinary treasures. As the cultivator's cultivation level increases, it can gradually be imprinted with one's own understanding of the Tao and accompany the owner of the magic weapon in continuous growth. For cultivators, it may be the most important thing for them, related to the path to enlightenment and protecting themselves.

Although the Changsheng Sword is a spiritual weapon refined by Zhang Liang and may have the possibility of being promoted to a magic weapon in the future, it can only stop there and cannot be further improved.

But it is different with his natal magic weapon. As long as Zhang Liang's cultivation continues to improve, his natal magic weapon will grow with him and become his lifelong partner.

"I must first clean the toxins from this Yin-Yang Jade before I can start refining it into my own magical weapon!"

Zhang Liang was excited and immediately put the Yin Yang Jade into his pocket. He did not stay here for long. Since he had found the Yin Yang Jade, there must be no other spiritual objects here.

So Zhang Liang picked the spirit-gathering grass and detoxification grass beside the pond, took the little monkey and left the valley.

"Master Beihai, eat this and your poison will be cured!"

Zhang Liang smiled and threw a detoxifying herb to the Taoist priest Beihai.

"Isn't this a poisonous weed?" The Taoist priest from Beihai took the herb and looked at it doubtfully.

"That's right. If ordinary people eat this weed, it will be a poisonous herb. But for people who are poisoned, it is a good antidote. Eat it with confidence!" Zhang Liang joked.

The Taoist priest in Beihai no longer doubted and directly rolled the herbs into a ball, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them a few times, and swallowed them. After a while, his face changed drastically, his abdomen was in unbearable pain, and the black mark on his face reappeared.

"Hehe, just bear with it. I'm too lazy to make the elixir. It will be more effective if you just eat it directly!" Zhang Liang consoled with a smile.

"puff!"

The Taoist priest from Beihai spat out a mouthful of black blood and instantly looked much more energetic. The black marks on his face also faded a lot. Although there were still some toxins remaining in his body, the effect of the medicine had not yet dissipated. It was estimated that in a few hours, the poison would be completely eliminated.

"If I hadn't trusted you, I would have thought I was going to be murdered!" said the Taoist priest from Beihai with a wry smile.

"The medicinal effect of this detoxifying herb is indeed strong, but its medicinal properties are a bit too strong." Zhang Liang said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go back. The spiritual fruit should be almost ripe, probably in the next two days." The old Taoist from Beihai suggested.

Zhang Liang said nothing more and turned his gaze to the little monkey beside him. He and the Taoist priest Beihai had planned to take the peach tree away together with the spiritual fruit after it matured. However, the little monkey obviously regarded the peach tree as his private property, so conflicts were inevitable.

Zhang Liang even thought about kidnapping the little monkey. It was not easy to get a spirit animal to recognize its master, not to mention taking away its beloved treasure tree. Unless it was a life-and-death struggle, don't expect the little guy to be willing to go with them.

"It seems that taking it away directly won't work. It seems that I have to practice a secret technique to control the spirit beast." Zhang Liang thought to himself.
