Chapter 961: Work
Sage rode the Spirit Stairs, the name for the Magic Tool elevator or lift, and traveled down to the middle tier. This was the most expansive tier, filled with large wilderness areas separated into different types of terrain, each populated with their own sets of Demonic Beasts. The ground level for this tier was actually a few floors higher than wilderness outside so those who arrived had a great view of the wide open areas outside. Sage traveled down a few flights of stairs and walked past a large gate out to the wilds before reaching his destination.
The construction of the large hallways and the system of gates made it obvious that this place he was in was set up to create a path for livestock to travel down and be moved from this room to the outside. Stepping inside, he was on a wide path with many gates that could drop from the ceiling every dozen feet or so. To either side were a pair of large and small doors from which various sounds of beasts and other creatures could be heard. Sage walked past the many animal cages to reach an office at the end of the hall. There was a man in a messy apron pushing a cart full of raw meat that gave Sage a careful look over. Sage walked past and entered the office room where he saw a man with short white hair, balding on the top, and wrinkled skin. Yet, the strange thing was that even with these two signifiers of his age, the man was still large and well built. Like a man whod spent his whole life in a weight room. Getting closer, Sage modified his appraisal as he saw the many scars covering the old mans hands. A man whod spent his whole life lifting, but not in a calm and clean weight room.
Im here to help with the Sunset Rain Snake.
The old man was mixing herbs and small jade bottles of ingredients together in a large pestle, but stopped when Sage entered. After hearing what he said the man nodded, The Sunset Rain Snake? Can you really handle it? Two people have already overestimated themselves and had to spend a fortune on medical fees. You arent eager to be the third, are you?
Sage shook his head, Dont worry, Im quite confident.
The Sunset Rain Snake is somewhere inside. Since you said youre confident, you must already be familiar with it. Once you have control of it, return here and Ill escort you back.
The barrier was already shifting and a door sized opening appeared on it. Sage jumped through it without bothering to reply. His right eye had already changed, glimmering with stars in the depths of his pupil. As soon as the barrier opened, there was the chance that the Sunset Rain Snake was nearby. If it were to escape from the barrier because he was too busy talking to the old man then it would be free to cause more trouble. Also, it was likely that Sage could get kicked from the Clear Sky Academy and banned for failing so badly.
Once he was inside the barrier, the opening closed rapidly and Sage relaxed slightly as he swept his gaze around the area. The most dangerous moment had just passed as the barrier was interfering with his vision. Now that he was inside, he could rely upon his Foresight to warn him of the Sunset Rain Snakes position.
There was a reason that this old man, a Nascent Soul, had to get outside assistance in order to deal with the Sunset Rain Snake. They even had to place such a huge defensive formation over this area to deal with it. Thats because the Sunset Rain Snake was notorious for its terrifying venom. Not only was it potent, but it had an absurd amount of it. The Sunset Rain Snake got the rain in its name from the sheer volume of venom it could produce and also spit. It was actually somewhat similar to Sages second set of Qi meridians, the Sunset Rain Snakes venom was not just a substance produced by a single organ but made up a large portion of its body. It spit out thousands of tiny droplets, creating its own spray of rain that made it extremely difficult to avoid.
Worse yet, the effects of the Sunset Rain Snakes venom were terrifying as few could defend against it. Their venom had the power to corrode the energy of the Heavens and Earth. Most Cultivators would resist poison by using their own Qi to block it from spreading. This most common tactic set up barricades inside the body to prevent the poison from reaching their vital places. Once the concentration of poison was great enough, it would take too much of their Qi to resist and force them into a choice between letting the poison destroy their bodies, or becoming helpless to resist their opponent. Since Qi was derived from the energy of the Heavens and Earth, it was also subject to the corrosive effect of the venom.
Not only was the usual method to resist poisons barely effective, the Sunset Rain Snakes venom also hamstrung most defensive Qi techniques and barriers.
