Chapter 53 - Poison Consciousness



Poison Consciousness. This was a type of extremely dangerous and lethal poison that concocted from various plants and beasts possessing lethal poisons. Just like the name itself, this had a consciousness unlike any other poisons. This poison could only be concocted by poison masters which only resides at the high-tier empires. And the guildmaster knew this. How could this poison consciousness be on the White Eagle\'s body?

If the guildmaster recalled correctly, he used this White Eagle to travel a year ago. But they did not go to any high-tier empire but only at the middle-tier Tyy Empire. Recalling more fragments, it was not even touched by any person there since he only delivered something in that empire. As the guildmaster pondered more, his expression gradually turned into anger. If Jin Rou was right, there was a traitor in his guild! And probably, this traitor was also the one who sold the information to the Shauha Empire of them having a magical beast! Just thinking about this made the guildmaster tremble in extreme exasperation.

Jin Rou saw this and just smiled. After a moment, he said, "Don\'t worry. The White Eagle could be saved."

"It could be saved?" Guildmaster Na was shocked upon hearing Jin Rou\'s words. He eventually regained his wits and asked, "I beg young master to do so."

Guildmaster Na\'s mood lifted a bit when he heard that the White Eagle could be saved. This beast was something they could not afford to lose. Although he was still in doubt of the claim of Jin Rou, what choice did he have? All he could was bet to this.

"That should really be done." Jin Rou chuckled, "Since I will be borrowing it for a while."

And then, he came near the eagle again and was about to touch its body when the Poison Consciousness suddenly attacked. However, Jin Rou only smiled at this incoming mist and just waved his sleeve.

Poof!

After which, a cube appeared in everyone\'s sight. Inside it, was the face-like mist glaring at Jin Rou like it had a irreconcilable feud with him. Yuan Gu was baffled yet again! His mouth was agape as he watched this. It seemed like he was never getting used to the scenarios playing when Jin Rou took the action. If not for his strong willpower, he might got already deadly heart attacks!

Jin Rou casually said, "You are just a Poison Consciousness and dared to attack? Ridiculous."

The face-like mist revealed a grimaced expression. Its expression was so twisted that one could not already determine what was.

Next, Jin Rou placed his palm on the White Eagle and immediately, a light emitted by it. However, strangely it was not blinding this time like a while ago.

"WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"In a blink of an eye, dark-purple aura got out screaming in indignation dancing back and forth trying to get back to the White Eagle\'s body however to no avail. This scream was enough for the guildmaster to tremble and almost lost his balance. it also carried away the face-like mist in the cube. This scene was terrifying. No, more than terrifying. It carried a bone-chilling creepiness that crawled one\'s skin.

Afterwards, the dark-purple aura gradually vanished into thin air as its scream was still ringing their ears, but getting more quiet a few breaths passed by.

Silence. The chamber was filled with silence that even breath could be heard. No one could express what they wanted to express. All of them stood there like they were paralyzed standing.

"It is already cured." Jin rou broke the silence.

The guildmaster who was still filled with disbelief of what happened shifted his gaze from Jin Rou to the beast. His eyes were widened open in surprise because he could see that the White Eagle had a vigorous vitality! Just a while ago, it had a withering vitality and maybe a month or two, it would die. But seeing this, it seemed like it was never poisoned to begin with!

"Really.." Yuan Gu was yet, shocked to the death again. It also shocked him when he saw that the dying White Eagle instantly gained a vigorous vitality like it was a new born baby white eagle! But what shocked him the most was that the process of curing the poison.. was way extremely easy!

He was aware of the fact that Poison Consciousness was something that extremely hard to cure even for a high-tier empire like Gu, or at least for them it was. In order to cure this kind of lethal poison which had a consciousness, one should be first a poison master or a master doctor, who knew the poison well. After which, one needed various herbs, materials or heaven-defying treasures to do the curing. But this Jin Rou, only used his palm and the entire poison could only scream in indignation!

What sort of situation was this? Since when the curing of poison consciousness was so easy?

Yuan Gu wanted to ask, however, he did not know how to start with it. Eventually, he just tossed his thoughts away.

"Young master.. this.." The guildmaster could not still believe what he saw! He was staring at Jin Rou with indescribable expression!

Slowly after, the guildmaster smiled warmly and kowtowed, "Young master, thank you." This act was something that filled with reverence and sincerity.

The guildmaster was extremely grateful and happy that fate had let him meet this young master. Maybe he would not get a chance to do this in the future since he knew this young man was someone who would soar to the sky one day with its majestic wings dancing in the air and thus, he disregard his status and did this. For him, this was not a shameful act for Jin Rou. He was the tamer guild\'s benefactor who saved their guild from a catastrophe, saved the Ice-winged Lion and lastly, the White Eagle. The guildmaster could no longer know how to express how grateful he was. This was also a sign of his regret for doubting Jin Rou\'s capabilities.

This stupefied everyone especially Jin Rou. He did not expect this, and propped the guildmaster to stand up, "No, you don\'t have to do this. Please stand up."

"No, please let me do this. I did not know how could this old man and my puny guild could repay your grace given to us." The guildmaster insisted.

Jin Rou only sighed and eventually accept this. After three kowtows, the guildmaster stood up with his face beaming with smile.

That night, the guildmaster held a banquet for Jin Rou\'s group.

***

Spreading sunrise, pinkish glow, clouds tinted, colours spread across the sky announcing the new day, oranges and reds painted across the clouds as if by a celestial hand. It was already morning. The White Eagle also had awakened.

Jin Rou created a paper with something written on it and handed it over to the guildmaster and said, "That is the description of the cultivator who poisoned it. He left describable traces and I bet he is one of your elders. Just call all of them and place this paper. If the paper glowed, then he must be the culprit. Of course, once this paper glowed, a restricting mechanism would appear and suppress the culprit so that he could not escape."

The guildmaster accepted the paper and never doubted this young man again. "Thank you, young master." this was filled with sincerity.

He was currently in dilemma how could he catch the culprit. To think that the young master would still help him in this regard. A lit of fire emerged in his eyes. He will make sure that the culprit would pay for this, heavy!

Jin Rou and the others hopped to the back of the White Eagle. This beast was extremely gentle to Jin Rou as if it knew it cured its suffering. It even rubbed Jin Rou\'s cheek intimately which the guildmaster smiled wryly. In the past, it acted arrogant even in front of him and needed to shower with pleads just so he could use it.

Jin Rou bid farewell to the guildmaster, "Farewell."

"Farewell, take care young master!" The guildmaster waved his hands.

WHOOOOOSH!

And then, the White Eagle flew to the horizon and disappeared. The smile on the guildmaster\'s face was changed into coldness mixed with rage as he hold the paper that was given to him. It was now time to let the traitor pay bigtime!

Soon, the guildmaster called everyone and used the paper. The paper did not glow in any of the elders except one, it was Elder Xiayu who was the one who took care of the white eagle\'s food and sorts before the eagle got poisoned. In fact, this was already speculated by the guildmaster since he and Xiayu were the only one who could see the eagle in person! The elder knew that this was not looking good as he tried to escape but chains coming from the paper suppressed him and could not retaliate.

The guildmaster did not wait for any reason as he slashed his hands towards Xiayu\'s neck! And so, the head of the elder rolled on the ground with its eyes wide opem. For the guildmaster to actually trust this elder was one of his grave mistake and thus he had the responsibility for this.

The place was only filled with silence at this moment.
