This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

In the thirty-first year of YinKui, early spring, the eighth day of the lunar month, because all the toxins had been cleared from my body, I resumed cultivating the Disastrous Poison Scripture.

Although I did not know the origin of that deer demon or why it possessed such miraculous spells,

it was certain that it had saved my life. If I ever have the chance to meet it again, I must thank it properly.

In the thirty-first year of Yinkui, early spring, the ninth day of the lunar month, ... breakthrough to the seventh layer of Qi Refinement ...

In the thirty-first year of Yinkui, mid-spring, the tenth day of the lunar month, ... breakthrough to the eighth layer of Qi Refinement ...

....

In the thirty-first year of Yinkui, late summer, the third day of the lunar month, one year and three months after I began practicing the Disastrous Poison Scripture, I broke through to the tenth layer of Qi Refinement.

I was only one step away from becoming the strongest wizard the village had ever seen.

The village chief said that although the Disastrous Poison Scripture is a fast method for success, he had never heard of anyone achieving a breakthrough from the first to the tenth layer of Qi Refining so quickly without dying from a toxin outbreak.

If it weren't for that deer demon, I would have died long ago.

To break through the Foundation Establishment Stage, ordinary poisons no longer had any effect on me, so I decided to take the Corpse-Heart Piercing Balm prepared by the village chief.

The Corpse-Heart Piercing Balm, even a slight contact with the skin of a Qi Refining Cultivator would cause the flesh to rot to the bone in twelve hours and the poisoned blood would attack the heart in twenty-four hours, it was the most potent poison concocted by the village chief.

In the thirty-first year of Yinkui, late summer, the fifth day of the lunar month, those two days of hell-like experience, I do not wish to recall ever again.

However, no matter what, I succeeded, I broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, my cultivation began to hit a bottleneck again.

Because of the toxins accumulating in my body, I reached a critical point, making me feel as if I was being sliced in hell every midnight, suffering unbearably. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

I had to stop cultivating and figure out how to eliminate the toxins in my body.

...

In the thirty-first year of Yinkui, mid-autumn, the fifth day of the lunar month.

This won't do, this won't do!

As my cultivation improved, the toxicity of the poisons I took increased, and accordingly, eliminating these toxins required higher quality Spirit Pills.

And these high-quality Spirit Pills are clearly not something I can concoct in a short amount of time.

Alchemy is indeed a profound craft.

In the thirty-first year of Yinkui, mid-autumn, the sixth day of the lunar month.

I still have not solved this problem, could it be that this is the end for me at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment? I am not content!

In the thirty-first year of Yinkui, mid-autumn, the seventh day of the lunar month.

That deer demon!

That deer demon is my only hope now; if it could help me eliminate the toxins in my body once, it surely can do it a second time!

In the thirty-first year of Yinkui, mid-autumn, the tenth day of the lunar month.

I have been searching near the place where the deer demon originally appeared for three days already.

Nothing.

Is it really just a fool's hope...

This won't do, I cannot give up, I must find it!

In the thirty-first year of Yinkui, mid-autumn, the fifth day of the lunar month.

Just when I was about to give up, the deer demon appeared on its own.

It blinked its bright, large eyes, curiously looking at me, full of spiritual nature.

I didn't mind whether it could understand my words, I organized my language and told it my problem.

It seemed to be pondering something; after a long time, its golden antlers emitted a rich vitality similar to the last time, merging into my body and driving out all the accumulated toxins.

It indeed understood my words, and this was the second time it helped me.

I decided to give it a name.

The place where it appeared was called Yunmeng Mountain; I decided to henceforth call it Yunmeng.

Yunmeng seemed to like the name very much, giggling non-stop at me, cheerful and spirited.

...

In the thirty-second year of Yinkui, late spring, the eighth day of the lunar month.

With Yunmeng's help, I no longer had to worry about the side effects of cultivating the Disastrous Poison Scripture.

But now, a new problem arose; due to consuming numerous potent poisons, my body had developed a strong resistance to toxins.

Ordinary poisons could no longer enhance my cultivation.

And those highly toxic poisons were often very difficult to concoct and extremely valuable.

In the thirty-second year of Yinkui, early summer, the eighth day of the lunar month.

Our Spirit Snake Sect's Spirit Snake Convention is about to begin!

The Spirit Snake Convention is a grand assembly used by the Spirit Snake Sect to select cultivators of exceptional talent; only cultivators under thirty are eligible to participate, and I definitely qualify.

Wizard of outstanding performance in the Spirit Snake Convention might even catch the attention of the Teal Snake Wizard and be taken as an apprentice.

The Teal Snake Wizard is the most profound cultivator in our Spirit Snake Sect and the only Nascent Soul Cultivator; being taken as an apprentice by him would indeed mean a leap to the skies.

This is my chance.

If I perform well in the Spirit Snake Convention, I won't have to worry about toxins anymore.

In the thirty-second year of Yinkui, early summer, the ninth day of the lunar month.

I bid farewell to Yunmeng and headed to Spirit Snake City to participate in the Spirit Snake Convention.

In thirty-second year of Yinkui, mid-summer, the first day of the lunar month, the Spirit Snake Convention began, my first opponent was a Qi Refining tenth layer male cultivator, and I easily defeated him.

In the thirty-second year of Yinkui, mid-summer, the third day of the lunar month, the second battle..... achieved victory.....

In the thirty-second year of Yinkui, mid-summer, the fifth day of the lunar month, the third battle..... achieved victory....

....

In the thirty-second year of Yinkui, mid-summer, the fifth day of the lunar month, due to practicing the Disastrous Poison Scripture and having consumed numerous potent poisons, I had become nearly invincible to a hundred poisons.

And in the Spirit Snake Convention, the techniques of my opponents often revolved around Poison Arts.

Thus, in the battles, I was almost invincible, and even as a cultivator in the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, I defeated three opponents in the middle stage, directly advancing to the final.
