Chapter 228 Signs of a Congenital Toxic Body
“This is a sign of a congenitally poisonous constitution,” Black Gu explained.
"Now I will guide the toxins in her body to merge with her life force."
"That way, she can have complete control over her power."
After saying that, he formed a mudra with his hands and chanted an obscure and difficult-to-understand incantation.
As the incantation was recited, the runes on the altar began to flash, echoing the purple light emanating from Feng Baobao.
Jiang Mo observed quietly from the side, his Gu God Seal ready to deal with any potential dangers at any time.
The ceremony lasted for about fifteen minutes, and the purple light on Feng Baobao gradually stabilized.
Finally, it completely receded and disappeared from her body.
"Alright, the ceremony is complete."
Hei Gu breathed a sigh of relief. "She can now control the toxins in her body, and there's no longer any danger of her suffering a backlash."
Just then, Feng Baobao slowly opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Jiang Mo: "Jiang Mo...where is this?"
"The core of the source of all poisons."
Jiang Mo gave a brief reply, then nodded to Hei Gu, "Thank you for your help."
Hei Gu smiled slightly: "You're welcome, it's my duty."
He turned to Feng Baobao: "Miss, from now on, you are the recognized successor of the source of all poisons."
"Although you don't have to take over here right now."
"But someday in the future, when your power is strong enough, I hope you can return and become the next generation of guardians."
Feng Baobao looked bewildered, clearly not fully understanding what had happened.
"Does my background...have anything to do with this place?" she asked cautiously.
Hei Gu nodded: "That's true."
"Your mother was also born with a poisonous constitution and once came here to undergo an awakening ceremony."
"Later, she left and lived in the human world, where she gave birth to you."
"Then who is my father?" Feng Baobao pressed.
Hei Gu shook his head: "I don't know, your mother never mentioned it."
Feng Baobao fell into deep thought.
Jiang Mo then asked, "You said Feng Baobao is the inheritor of poison, what does that mean?"
"This means she is born with the ability to control various toxins, and even to create new ones."
Hei Gu explained, "In the world of poisons, she possesses supreme authority."
"Whether it's a venomous snake, a poisonous spider, or a poisonous insect, they will all involuntarily submit to her."
Jiang Mo asked thoughtfully, "Can she use these abilities now?"
"The basic abilities have been awakened, but to truly master them, further learning and practice are needed."
Hei Gu looked at Feng Baobao and said, "I can teach you, but there's no need to rush."
"You can go back to the human world first, and come back anytime you're ready."
Feng Baobao nodded, and although she still looked confused, she seemed to have accepted the fact.
“We should go back,” Jiang Mo reminded them. “The others are still waiting outside.”
“Of course,” Black Gu said, waving his hand, and the surrounding scenery immediately changed.
They found themselves back at the edge of the black pool.
"Mr. Jiang Mo, as the successor of the Gu God, you are welcome to visit the source of all poisons at any time."
Hei Gu said, "As for you, Miss Feng Baobao, this is a gift for you."
He took out a small, purple jade bottle from his pocket and handed it to Feng Baobao: "This is the essence of the source of all poisons. Just one drop will allow you to unleash unimaginable power in times of crisis."
Feng Baobao took the jade bottle and carefully put it into her bosom: "Thank you."
"You're welcome, after all, you're the future Queen of Poison."
Black Gu smiled slightly, its form gradually becoming transparent before disappearing completely, leaving only the words: "Remember, the source of all poisons will always be your final destination."
After the black Gu completely disappeared, Jiang Mo looked at Feng Baobao: "How do you feel?"
Feng Baobao shook her head: "It's a bit confusing, but strangely, I'm not surprised at all, as if I've always known all along."
"That's because these memories are etched into your blood."
Jiang Mo explained, "The toxins in your body are innate; they're part of your identity."
Feng Baobao was silent for a moment, then looked up at Jiang Mo: "And what about you? What is your identity? The Black Gu calls you the successor of the Gu God... what does that mean?"
Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "This is a long story, I'll tell you another time when I have the chance."
"Now, we should go back. The others must be getting impatient."
Feng Baobao nodded and followed Jiang Mo away from the core area of the Source of Ten Thousand Poisons.
When they returned to the place where they had parted ways with Zhang Chulan and the other two, they found the three of them anxiously looking around.
"Big brother!" Seeing Jiang Mo and Feng Baobao return safely.
Zhang Chulan immediately rushed forward, "Where have you been? It's been over two hours!"
"Sorry, there was a bit of an unexpected situation," Jiang Mo explained briefly, "but it's resolved now."
Wei Duoduo and Chen Duo also rushed over. Seeing that Feng Baobao looked even more radiant than before, they couldn't help but look at her in surprise.
“Feng Baobao, you look different.” Chen Duo was the first to notice the change.
Indeed, after the Poison Awakening Ritual, Feng Baobao's temperament underwent a subtle change.
Her skin was even whiter, and her eyes shone with an unusual light.
She looked more vibrant and energetic.
"Yes, I feel it's different too," Feng Baobao replied casually, without elaborating.
Seeing this, Jiang Mo quickly changed the subject: "Alright, we've achieved our goal, it's time to go back."
"However, before I leave, I still need to gather some materials."
As he spoke, he took out several specially made containers.
They carefully collected some unusual plants and minerals from the surrounding area.
They even caught a few oddly shaped little insects.
"Big brother, are these things for making hot pot?" Zhang Chulan asked curiously.
Jiang Mo nodded: "That's right. With these rare ingredients, the next Ten Thousand Poisons Hot Pot will be even more delicious and effective."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan immediately became excited, and Wei Duoduo and Chen Duo also showed expectant expressions.
After completing the collection, the group began their return journey.
Having already gone through it once, the return journey was much smoother.
On the way back, Jiang Mo would stop from time to time to collect some special plants or capture some strange little creatures, and carefully put them into a specially made container.
"Big brother, is it really safe to eat these things?"
Zhang Chulan looked at the strange, even terrifying, creatures that Jiang Mo had collected and felt somewhat suspicious.
Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "Of course, after special processing, they are not only edible, but also a rare delicacy."
"More importantly, they contain abundant Qi and energy, which are highly beneficial for cultivation."
"Speaking of which, Lord Gu God, I was cultivating in the poisonous fog just now, and I felt that the flow of Qi was much smoother than usual."
Wei Duoduo asked excitedly, "Is it because of the special environment here?"
