Chapter 145 Dream Weaving Poison
In this week, Wang Jian had naturally spent his nights with his women.
He was already gentle to his wives and had become gentler with Kang Huian and Han Xifeng, considering that their hatred for Wang Jian was reducing every single day.
However, Wang Jian’s nightly activities with Xiao Ling, Bixi Shuyan, and Lady Zhuoran remained rough.
Through his efforts, Wang Jian had amassed 35,000 Destiny Points. This brought his Destiny Points to 533,346.
However, after learning those sword techniques, 10,000 Destiny Points were deducted. Thus, his current status screen showed:

This time, Wang Jian felt it would be best to upgrade the Soaring Dragon Technique.
After Elder Mu’s departure, he decided to utilize the points he had earned and make the most of his training.
As Wang Jian focused his mind, he sensed a mysterious energy coursing through his body. The energy flowed with newfound vigor and ferocity, causing his muscles to tense and his senses to sharpen.
The path of the qi was now completely different, much quicker and fluid than before, and Wang Jian felt a sense of serenity as he observed the changes in his body.
As the upgrade completed, Wang Jian sensed a layer forming over his physique, creating beautiful azure scales made of pure qi.
This was the True Dragon’s Scales ability, a new power that significantly boosted his offensive and defensive capabilities.
The scales felt like a second skin, and Wang Jian marveled at their intricate patterns and their responsiveness to his movements.
As Wang Jian was studying the changes in his body, a notification from the system interrupted his thoughts.
[The Host’s Cultivation Technique has significantly stimulated the Chaotic Yang Body. It can now be unlocked by utilizing 1 Million Destiny Points.]
The sudden notification took Wang Jian by surprise. He had long given up hope of awakening his physique, thinking it was impossible.
He had even considered releasing Yu Qing from the Divine Spirit Prison to seek her help, but he knew the risks involved.
Yu Qing would never forgive him for imprisoning her and might even seek revenge for what he did to Zhang Fei.
Thus, Wang Jian had to create a situation where he could release her without the fear of getting killed. Or, he would have to keep on utilizing the Enchantment Ability on her until it worked.
However, the system’s notification stating that it would require a million destiny points caused Wang Jian to sigh.
It would be really hard to gather so many destiny points just by using Xiao Ling, Bixi Shuyan, and Lady Zhuoran.
The destiny points they were providing him was reducing.
Even if he made these three women fall in love with himself, Wang Jian felt that he would barely be able to gather 500,000 Destiny Points.
He had to think of something else. Target Ye Chen or one more of his Heroines.
Well, Wang Jian didn’t spend too much time thinking about it. He would see how it goes.
Meanwhile, a branch of the esteemed Dao of Alchemy Society had been viciously attacked.
Xie Hui, the grand elder and a highly respected figure in the society, was present at the branch as he was guiding and mentoring the young alchemists.
With his exceptional skills, Xie Hui fiercely fought against the assailants, but unfortunately, he was overwhelmed and rendered unconscious.
His condition was alarming, and none of the healing pellets were having any effect on his spirit and soul.
The alchemists in the society were perplexed, and it took them a while to identify the root of the problem.
Finally, they discovered that the grand elder had been afflicted with a potent poison that was lingering over his spirit.
The alchemists immediately recognized the poison as the work of Huan Yi, also known as the Poison King. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘰𝘳𝘨
Huan Yi was a notorious figure from one of the vassal kingdoms of the Everlasting Mystic Empire, known for his extraordinary talent in concocting deadly poisons.
The grave condition of Xie Hui, Xie Zhiwei’s grandfather and the powerful grand elder of the Dao of Alchemy Society, had created a power vacuum that threatened Xie Zhiwei’s family.
With Xie Hui’s influence in the alchemy society at stake, other elders and even the leader saw an opportunity to seize power.
Xie Zhiwei’s father, once a respected member of society, was now excluded from the inner circle of decision-makers, while the family’s control over valuable pellets was being eroded.
Protests from Xie Zhiwei’s family were met with vague promises, signalling that society was no longer on their side.
With the alchemy society turning against them, Xie Zhiwei’s family knew they had to act fast to protect their wealth and influence.
In desperation, Xie Zhiwei turned to Wang Jian’s palace seeking assistance to avert the looming crisis.
Xie Zhiwei sat nervously in the elegant hall of Wang Jian’s palace, his mind clouded with worry. The weight of his family’s future hung heavy on his shoulders.
“What should I do, Jian? If grandfather doesn’t recover soon, our family could lose all its remaining influence,” Xie Zhiwei spoke out his concerns, his voice laced with desperation.
Wang Jian frowned, deep in thought as he contemplated the dire situation. “This is not good news, my friend. It seems we must act fast.”
Xie Zhiwei’s eyes widened in hope, “Do you have any ideas, Jian?”
Wang Jian sighed heavily, “It won’t be easy, but I might have a solution. However, it comes with great risk.”
“What is it?” Xie Zhiwei leaned forward, his eyes twinkling in hope.
“I require a sample of your grandfather’s blood first,” stated Wang Jian.
Xie Zhiwei had anticipated this request and promptly retrieved a vial of blood from his pocket. “Here you go,” he said, handing it to Wang Jian.
Wang Jian examined the blood closely and then gave a command to the system in a low voice, “Run a thorough analysis and provide details of the poison.”
[This service requires 100 Destiny Points for a comprehensive analysis.]
Without hesitation, Wang Jian agreed to the fee, and the system quickly began to provide him with detailed information about the poison.
[Dream Weaving Poison: This poison creates a dreamlike state in the victim’s mind, making them lose consciousness while it slowly weaves a web around their spirit, leading to eventual death. The poison possesses a bit of demonic qi that had been concealed very intelligently with appropriate holy herbs.]
“Is there any cure to this poison?”
“Yes. There are three ways to cure this poison, according to the current data within the system. However, this information will cost 1000 Destiny Points to the host.”
“Use them.”
[The first method is to utilize the Nine Heaven Root: Use Nine Heaven Root, Heavenly Cloud Fruit, and Sky Thunder Mushroom to create a powder that can alleviate the poison’s effect on the spirit.]
[The second method is to use Venomous Transfusion: Introduce the Soul Eater Venom inside the victim’s body. This potent poison will swallow the Dream Weaving Poison. Then, use a combination of “Frost Lotus” and “Nirvana Seed” to expel both poisons from the body.]
[Ghostfire Cleansing – Ignite a type of ghostly flame that burns at an extremely high temperature and then submerges the poisoned body into the flame. The heat of the flame burns away the poison, and the holy herb called “Dragon’s Heart” heals the damaged cells.]
From these three methods that the system had provided, Wang Jian could only choose the second method.
The Soul Eater Venom was available and could be bought from the Lotus Assassins. He also held the Frost Lotus and Nirvana Seed, so it would indeed be possible to cure Xie Hui using this method.
“Go and get the Frost Lotus and Nirvana Seed ready. I will visit your mansion tomorrow and cure your old man. I know an expert who can treat this poison,” Wang Jian spoke.
Xie Zhiwei was startled upon hearing those words.
He immediately nodded and spoke sincerely, “Thanks, Jian. If this goes through, I will make sure that my entire family joins your faction officially.”
After Xie Zhiwei was gone, Wang Jian decided to visit his mother’s palace. He asked her of two things. One was to procure the Soul Eater Venom for him. The second was to send one of her personal alchemists with him to Xie Zhiwei’s mansion.
He knew that if he went alone, it would be impossible for Xie Zhiwei’s family to let him administer the Soul Eater Poison to Xie Hui. However, it would be a different matter if an esteemed alchemist were to suggest this remedy.
It didn’t take long for Bai Liqin to acquire the Soul Eater Venom for Wang Jian. She had a couple of contacts in the Lotus Assassins, who are rather notorious for coating their weapons with this poison.
Although the Soul Eater Venom is much stronger compared to the Dream Weaving Poison, it was easier to cure as it could be easily analyzed.
However, the same couldn’t be true about the Dream Weaving Poison. It was weaker, but there was no way to figure out the hint of demonic attribute within this poison due to the presence of holy attribute herbs.
Thus, it became really challenging to cure the Dream Weaving Poison.
The only method of saving yourself from such a poison was to guard the spirit very carefully or keep a treasure on yourself that could prevent such a poison from reaching your spirit.
