Library of Heaven’s Path

”The Lava Beast isn’t afraid of even the searing Earthen Flames, so how can any ordinary poison be effective on it...” Liao Xun said.

The lava was about two thousand degree Celsius hot. Most poison would be reduced to ashes before it can even reach the lava, thus making it nigh impossible to use poison.

”We’ve tried all kinds of methods, except... finding a beast tamer to tame it. Honestly speaking... there doesn’t seem to be any other solution!” Liao Xun shook his head. ”However, this is our greatest secret, and the Poison Hall doesn’t interact with any other occupations. It is highly likely that inviting a beast tamer will cause unnecessary trouble!”

The Poison Hall didn’t possess any connections with the other occupations; there were some which were actually hostile to it.

Inviting people from another occupation here would mean having to reveal their den, and this could potentially bring them a catastrophe. If so, they would have wasted their years living in seclusion in the Red Lotus Range.

”That’s right...”

Understanding this fact as well, Gu Mu shook his head.

Poison and brute force wouldn’t work, and they couldn’t hire a beast tamer either... It was indeed a huge question how they could harvest the Crimson Flame Lotus Seed.

”Will beast tamers be able to subdue that fellow?”

Hearing the duo’s conversation, Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before speaking.

”Perhaps... I can give it a try!”
