Chapter 1710: Chapter 628: Black King Returns, First Landing on Mo Yun

Beside Peng Island.

The Daoist stood with hands clasped behind his back, quietly gazing at the water surface where dark currents surged.

Suddenly.

Crash!

The lake water split apart as if pushed by hands, and a giant unicorn dragon head slowly rose from the depths. Once fully revealed, its flood dragon and python-like head towered significantly higher than the white-robed Daoist.

Though its posture was imposing, the dragon’s eyes were filled with reverence.

”Master, the Black King has returned.”

Luo Chen gazed at him calmly, his Divine Consciousness radiating naturally, sweeping over the Black King’s entire body.

The aura appeared somewhat languid, but there were no visible injuries—just the weariness from extended travel.

If there were no wounds, then why had he been delayed for so long?

Suddenly.

Luo Chen’s aggressive Divine Consciousness landed on the dragon’s python-like head.

”Your Divine Soul has been injured?”

The Black King drooped his head slightly, seeming unenergetic, exhaling a deep dragon’s breath. ”Master’s insight is sharp. Indeed, the Black King suffered from soul poison.”

”Soul poison? Is it the toxic miasma emitted by the Purple Monkey Flower?”

”Yes, precisely.”

Upon receiving this confirmation, Luo Chen felt delight instead of worry.

A soul poison capable of injuring the Black King’s Divine Soul must have originated from at least a Fourth-Order Purple Monkey Flower.

And for refining the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, the main ingredient requirement was indeed a Fourth-Order Purple Monkey Flower.

In that case, Purple Spirit Island undoubtedly housed the necessary resource!

As expected, the subsequent report from the Black King confirmed the presence of Fourth-Order Purple Monkey Flowers on Purple Spirit Island.

”You’ve worked hard.”

Luo Chen offered his acknowledgment, then asked about specific details and the reason behind the delayed return.

”The route depicted on the map was largely accurate.”

”However, perhaps due to the passage of time, some spiritless islands had transformed into rich spirit lands over the ages, attracting powerful demon beasts to occupy them. On the way there, I accidentally intruded into the territories of several Demon Kings, forcing me into battles.”

”Upon reaching the destination, I consumed the Detoxification Pill crafted by Master and employed the Qi-Concealing Technique to stealthily ascend Purple Spirit Island and search for the Purple Monkey Flower. But there was barely any need to search—the island was covered in Purple Monkey Flowers!”

”Yes, absolutely covered! It felt as though the entire island was a kingdom of Purple Monkey Flowers.”

”The only issue was that most of the abundant Purple Monkey Flowers were of low order. Little Black thought about Master’s requirement for Fourth-Order Purple Monkey Flowers and began searching discreetly.”

”Purple Spirit Island isn’t safe; it’s populated by several demon beasts bewitched by the Purple Monkey Flowers, including formidable Third-Order Demon Kings. Especially the Purple Qi Poison Monkeys!”

The ancient records state that wherever Purple Qi Poison Monkeys reside, Purple Monkey Flowers will be present. However, the causality is reversed.

In truth, the Purple Monkey Flowers came first, and the Purple Qi Poison Monkeys followed, as the latter evolved into a specialized demon beast species due to long-term manipulation by the flowers.

”These Purple Qi Poison Monkeys have a strong territorial instinct against outsiders but prefer group living within their own kind. I avoided them intentionally, wanting to prevent a confrontation. But ultimately, when I discovered the Fourth-Order Purple Monkey Flower, I had to face a large number of Third-Order Monkey Kings.”

”These Third-Order Purple Qi Poison Monkeys aren’t particularly powerful, and their attack methods are quite limited. If I had sufficient time, Little Black could handle them one by one.”

”But time, time was the problem!”

”The longer you stay on the island, the more you’re exposed to the pervasive Purple Qi Poison miasma. Eventually, even my demon soul was affected. The Detoxification Pill given by Master retained less than ten percent of its efficacy.”

”Given the increasing number of Purple Qi Poison Monkeys encircling me, and the concern about devastating Purple Spirit Island during a battle, I had no choice but to flee in humiliation.”
