Lin Mo Masters Poison Technique

Chapter 72 • 1,438 words • 12 min read

In the room, Lin Mo gazed at the prepared medicinal liquid, his face filled with anticipation. He showed no hint of fear.

Ever since Jiang Yao’s appearance had stolen his title as the number one genius of the Yunhua Sect, his mentality had become somewhat abnormal.

This made him yearn for even greater power.

Furthermore, with more and more people from the Purple Abyss Pavilion succeeding in cultivating the poison art, at this rate, it was likely that not only the Yunhua Sect, but also other sects and the secular world would see the emergence of many poison cultivators.

If he didn’t seize the initiative, even if he succeeded in cultivating the poison art, he probably wouldn’t have much of an advantage.

“I, Lin Mo, have never been weaker than anyone in my life. If they can do it, so can I.”

Lin Mo clenched his fists, then removed his clothes and entered the medicinal vat, beginning the process of tempering his body with toxins.

Meanwhile, Yunhong and the others waited outside. Yunhong was quite calm, but the members of the Lin family were all filled with worry.

‘I hope nothing happens to Brother Lin Mo,’ Lin Zi and the others prayed silently.

By the time Lin Mo began cultivating the poison art, it was already dusk. As the sun gradually set, he, inside the room, finally began to react.

The poisonous liquid started to seep into his body, and he felt a pain like countless needles pricking him.

But this pain was nothing to him.

The poisonous liquid continued to spread. When it reached his chest, the piercing pain was joined by a scorching, burning sensation.

This burning pain seeped into his flesh and bone, causing his whole body to tremble, but it was still within his range of tolerance.

The poison spread again, moving up to his head. When it reached his chin, the pain was comparable to a toothache, and not an ordinary one at that. The three types of pain intertwined, and Lin Mo’s expression instantly twisted.

‘Damn it, it really is something ordinary people can’t bear. No wonder so many of them can’t hold on past the chest. But this is not my limit!’

The poison continued to spread, reaching his eyes.

Here, the pain deepened once more, adding a splitting headache that was even more unbearable.

“Ah!” Lin Mo instinctively let out a blood-curdling scream.

This was the most critical stage. If he couldn’t endure it, he would fail. And the process was slow, as it had already reached the stage where the poison was entering his brain.

Outside, everyone was startled by Lin Mo’s miserable scream.

“Grand Elder, we should go and call that Ziyun over,” Lin Zi and the others said anxiously.

But Yunhong did not do so, instead continuing to wait quietly.

Lin Mo’s screams lasted for a while, then suddenly stopped.

Because at the last critical moment, he had fainted. It seemed he was going to fail.

It appeared he had been too confident.

However, not long after he closed his eyes, an ethereal voice inexplicably sounded in his mind. The voice was very strange, not like a human’s.

“Are you willing to pay any price in exchange for great power? If you are, then answer my call.”

This voice was like a bucket of cold water, instantly awakening Lin Mo’s consciousness. For Lin Mo, failure was equivalent to death.

Although he didn’t know who the owner of this voice was, he certainly didn’t want to die.

‘I am willing! Even if it means paying with everything, I am willing!’ Lin Mo’s consciousness shouted inwardly.

The voice then laughed.

“Hehe, I shall grant your request. But I hope you will not regret it.”

The moment these words were spoken, the poison, which had stopped spreading, began to spread once more.

It was very strange. Lin Mo had clearly fainted and should have failed, but it seemed some power was helping him master the poison art.

The commotion suddenly vanished, and everyone from the Lin family held their breath.

“It’s quiet? Did he succeed or fail?”

Inside the room, Lin Mo had somehow inexplicably succeeded in his cultivation. The poison had spread throughout his body, and he had entered the transformation stage.

But what was strange was that his transformation stage seemed different from others. Others’ hair turned silvery-white, but his turned purple.

The purple on his skin’s surface gradually merged into his flesh and slowly dissipated, but his skin did not return to its normal color.

Instead, it became an unhealthy, deathly pale, like a sickly patient on the verge of death. In addition, his entire being exuded a strange, effeminate aura.

As time slowly passed, after about a few minutes, Lin Mo slowly regained consciousness.

When he woke up, his eyes had also turned purple, filled with a strange feeling.

“Did… did I succeed?” Lin Mo muttered to himself as he woke up and looked at his familiar surroundings.

After confirming that he was not dead, he quickly felt the power within his body.

When he perceived the distinctly different and domineering power within him, he burst into excited laughter.

“Hahaha, I succeeded!” Lin Mo laughed wildly.

But as he laughed, his laughter suddenly stopped, because the sound was somewhat different from his previous deep voice; it had an inexplicable effeminate quality to it.

He instinctively touched his neck.

“What’s happening to my voice?” Lin Mo was stunned.

He then slowly stood up, but as he did, an unfamiliar and uncomfortable sensation came from his lower body.

That strange feeling forced him to look down.

But with that one look, Lin Mo’s pupils suddenly constricted. It was as if he had seen some horrifying sight.

“What… what is going on?”

After a strange, dead silence, a sharp and furious roar erupted from within the room.

“Bastard! Why is it like this?!”

Lin Mo’s voice rang out again. The people outside were overjoyed, especially Yunhong and the others, who immediately rushed in, because they knew Lin Mo had succeeded in his cultivation.

However, just as they entered, before they could even congratulate Lin Mo, they were driven out by his roar.

Of course, only the Lin family members were frightened back by this roar; Yunhong was not.

“This? What… what’s wrong? Didn’t Brother Lin Mo succeed in his cultivation? But why does he look so unhappy?” someone asked doubtfully.

“I don’t know. Could it be a side effect of the cultivation method? The text says that after successfully cultivating the poison art, there’s a chance the body will undergo a strange transformation,” another person guessed.

Inside, Yunhong was looking at Lin Mo, who was crouching in the medicinal vat, with a puzzled expression.

“Lin Mo, what happened? Didn’t you succeed in your cultivation? Shouldn’t you be happy?” Yunhong questioned.

Lin Mo was hugging his body and trembling all over. His face was beyond ugly at this moment.

“Master, my thoughts are in chaos. Please go out first. I want to be alone to calm down.”

Seeing Lin Mo like this, Yunhong roughly guessed what had happened.

“Did your body have a side effect?”

Lin Mo nodded with difficulty.

Although Yunhong didn’t know what kind of side effect Lin Mo had experienced, it was certainly not an ordinary one. Otherwise, Lin Mo wouldn’t be so furious.

So, after thinking for a moment, he chose to exit the room and went outside.

After everyone had left, Lin Mo dragged his limp body out of the medicinal vat, his face a picture of a lost soul, and walked to a mirror in the room.

Looking at his reflection, there weren’t many changes. His hair had turned purple, his eyes had turned purple, and his skin had become pale.

But looking down, it was clear why he was so furious. Because it seemed that something was missing from his lower body. It wasn’t the same as Yan Yun’s change from male to female.

After looking, and confirming that he wasn’t dreaming, Lin Mo’s expression twisted again. He smashed his fist into the mirror, shattering it into pieces.

Afterward, for reasons unknown, Lin Mo announced he was entering seclusion and was not to be disturbed. His reason was that he needed to spend a few years studying the poison art.

But the news that Lin Mo had successfully cultivated the poison art still spread quickly throughout the Yunhua Sect, mainly because the members of the Lin family loved to show off.

Little did they know that if Lin Mo knew of their actions, he would probably slap them to death.
