Chapter: 741
Pyo-wol reluctantly opened the door and went inside. Torches were sparsely hung in the dark underground passage.
After walking for a while, a huge underground space appeared.
The huge space which was naturally formed was reminiscent of the underground cave where Pyo-wol learned how to kill.
Several monks were busily going back and forth through the underground cave. They were busy contemplating over something with serious expressions on their faces.
Although a new person, Pyo-wol, came in, no one cared about him.
Among the monks, the one Pyo-wol paid attention to was an old monk who could be said to be suffering from a disease. His face was full of black spots, and the tips of his nails were discolored.�
Pyo-wol knew that the bodies of those who deal with poisons became like that.
The poison Pyo-wol smelled was coming from the old monk. To be precise, poison was flowing out of the porcelain bottle he was holding. It was sealed tightly, but the poison was so strong that the energy was leaking out little by little.
�Heh heh!�
The old monk smiled grimly.
By combining numerous poisons, he managed to complete a whole new form of poison.�
�A single drop of this poison is enough to kill ten men. If you offer it to the sect leader, he will surely be happy.�
At that moment, as if waiting, an unfamiliar voice was heard.
�That would certainly be useful.�
The old monk turned his head in the direction the voice came from. Then a familiar face appeared.
�It�s Jeongmok. Do you really think it�s worth using?�
The old monk grinned.
All of his teeth already fell out so his gums were exposed. A terrible odor also came out of his mouth. After studying poison for a long time, poison could also be found in his body. But he himself didn�t feel it.
Pyo-wol asked,
�What kind of poison is it?�
�I haven�t named it yet. Now that I�ve completed this, I�m sure anyone will die once they are close to seven steps away from the poison.�
�Seven steps? Then how about Seven Step Soul Chasing Acid1?�
�Seven Step Soul Chasing Acid? That�s a pretty plausible name. Good! I�m going to name this poison the Seven Step Soul Chasing Acid. Kehehehe!�
The old monk laughed with satisfaction.�
His name was Dugong.
Dugon�s only joy in life is to create a new poison by mixing poison with another poison.
The poison he created was so lethal that it can cause a major accident once it is leaked. Because of that, he built a nest deep beneath the Manbeop Palace and stayed with his disciples.
All those in the area were accustomed to poison. Since they are resistant to poison, they�re usually not affected by being exposed to a small amount.�
Suddenly, a puzzled expression appeared on Dugong�s face.
�But what are you doing here, Jeongmok? I thought you didn�t like coming here?� JrNovels.com
