Traveler of the River of Time and Space

Chapter 17: Qing Ji 1


Careless.

Su Ziyu initially thought that using the Spiritual Protection Field to block the venom would be enough, but he didn't expect the venom sprayed by the Jorogumo to be so potent even when evaporated. Just a slight inadvertent inhalation made him feel dazed. Fortunately, his Physical Enhancement was quite high; otherwise, an ordinary person would have passed out by now.

This Jorogumo's venom is really potent.

Truly worthy of being a demon turned from a spider. If Su Ziyu hadn't been extremely cautious, he might have been taken down in a direct confrontation.

"Gulp gulp!"

Su Ziyu was somewhat prepared for situations like this. He took out a bottle of light blue Potion and drank it up. This was an Antidote mixed by Ms. Elena. Some of the monsters Demon Hunters faced were skilled in using poison, and this Potion had alleviating effects on most toxins.

After drinking a bottle of Antidote, Su Ziyu immediately felt much clearer in his mind.

Though his body still felt weak and limp, his consciousness was no longer so foggy.

The current state isn't very good.

Su Ziyu thought for a moment and turned to retrace his steps. In his current condition, encountering a demon would be quite dangerous. With the Blessing of the Guardian Witch, Su Ziyu decided to spend the night at Mu Lingji's place and resume his journey after recovering a bit tomorrow.

Soon.

A dense forest appeared before his eyes.

"You're poisoned?" Mu Lingji's figure appeared at the forest's edge. She looked at Su Ziyu with some concern and said, "Sit down! Let me see if I can help you detoxify!"

Perhaps Su Ziyu hadn't realized it himself, but there was a faint purplish tinge to his complexion, and his spirit seemed quite worn out.

A hint of shimmering green light appeared.

Mu Lingji reached out to pluck a tender leaf, raised her hand to summon a little squirrel, gave it a few instructions, then sat down.

Su Ziyu felt an extremely gentle Energy pouring into his body. As this Energy surged in, his body seemed to improve, and he was no longer so completely drained of strength.

"Drink it." Mu Lingji held out a tender green leaf in her hand.

There was a dew drop on the leaf, still unknown what it was, but it carried a refreshing grassy aroma.

—"Nectar (Mystical Object)!"

Su Ziyu scanned it with the system's data stream, thanked her, and drank it down.

Once the Nectar entered his body, it turned into a refreshing sensation that spread throughout, rejuvenating Su Ziyu instantly. At least sixty to seventy percent of the toxins in his body were cleared out.

"You should be fine now." Mu Lingji touched Su Ziyu's forehead with her hand and said softly, "Come with me. I'll take you to rest for a bit."

As the Earth Spirit here, she already knew the Jorogumo had been taken down.

Su Ziyu's strength startled her somewhat, but she didn't think much of it, since Mu Lingji was unlike demons like Qing Xing Deng and was closer to a demon devoid of desires or pursuits, spending hundreds of years peacefully in such a rural little place.

A simple wooden hut appeared before them.

This place seemed uninhabited for a long time. Mu Lingji apologized a bit, saying, "This was left over from a long time ago, you'll have to make do and stay here for the night."

"It's fine. Having a place to rest is enough. Thank you." Su Ziyu looked at Mu Lingji earnestly and said, "I owe you a favor."

Mu Lingji seemed unconcerned by Su Ziyu's words and shyly smiled, "You helped me get a name."

"We're friends, aren't we?"

Such an innocent demon.

How could helping you get a name compare with helping me find the Jorogumo and detoxifying me?

Su Ziyu didn't say anything more, but he remembered her, as he doesn't like to owe favors and would repay her if he got the chance.

"You rest now. I won't disturb you." Mu Lingji shyly smiled, gestured to the side, and a little squirrel followed her away.

This demon probably hasn't interacted much with people, as she appeared a bit timid when speaking.

Sigh.

After bidding farewell to Mu Lingji, Su Ziyu found a place to sit down. This wooden hut seemed to be left behind by a woodcutter, as quite a bit of dust had accumulated inside.

"Mystical Object: The Principle of Jorogumo."

"Tier: Tier Four."

"Effect: This Soul Bead seals a twisted and resentful Soul. She was once a famed beauty, but after marrying a lord, she fell for another man. When faced with danger, this man betrayed her without hesitation. The furious lord threw her into a box filled with venomous spiders, thus a demon with extreme hatred towards men was born. Material, Soul Stone."

It turns out to be a Tier Four material.

Bear in mind, Tier Five equates to legendary, suggesting the Jorogumo's power was above Tier Four.

"How do I use this?" Su Ziyu felt an extremely icy, bone-chilling sensation in his palm while holding this bead, even faintly hearing a shrill wail, likely the Jorogumo's wail as she was devoured by spiders before her death.

This should be used to craft equipment, right?

But since Su Ziyu has no experience in crafting mystical objects, he could only set it aside for now, hoping to find a use later.
