Chapter 318: Foreign Lands
Chen Qing carefully traversed the depths of Ten Thousand Poisons Marsh, following the map Li Baichuan had given him.
The map's markings were clear, allowing him to avoid several powerful toxic creature lairs and natural death zones, saving him considerable trouble.
The occasional poisonous snakes and insects that sprang out along the way were turned into pulp before they could even approach, as the thick True Origin circulating around his body gave a light tremor. They couldn't hinder him in the slightest.
His objective was clear, the Nine Curve Grass.
This grass grew in supremely yin and toxic places, yet had a peculiar form. Its stalk meandered through nine turns like a coiled dragon, and its leaves were a deep blue color.
In a place like Ten Thousand Poisons Marsh, where toxic creatures were everywhere and the environment was harsh, searching for one specific spiritual herb was like looking for a needle in a haystack. If not for Old Li's map marking several areas where it might grow, Chen Qing would never easily venture into such a dangerous place.
Following the map's guidance, he arrived at a gorge called Ten Thousand Serpents Den.
Before even approaching, a thick stench assaulted his face, and the air was filled with a nauseating odor.
The gorge's rock walls on both sides were steep, covered with caves of various sizes. Colorful snake shadows could vaguely be seen writhing within.
