Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Wang Yuyan nodded: "After taking the Northern Darkness Divine Art, we went straight back without even looking at it closely. Later, we were either staying in the main world or traveling through the Martial Soul World..."

This world takes her as its guide. When she left last time, she was in the belly of Wuliang Mountain. Now that she has returned, she naturally landed here.

"I've put the Northern Darkness Divine Art and the jade statue into my storage ring."

"There's nothing else in the cave worth lingering over."

Lin Quan nodded slightly, and without further delay, raised his hand to signal, and the three of them immediately left the cave.

"Jingjing".

Before she finished speaking, Qiao Jingjing understood and instantly spread her mental power—she and Lin Quan rose into the air, their robes fluttering in the wind.

Without saying much, Wang Yuyan used her mental power to lift herself into the air and chase after the two figures, soaring straight into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the valley was far beneath their feet.

Lin Quan suddenly stopped, raising his eyebrows slightly: "Wait—search along the way and see if we can run into that Manggu Toad."

Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan's eyes lit up, and they blurted out almost simultaneously, "Right! I almost forgot!"

In this Wuliang Mountain, besides the Northern Darkness Divine Art, there also lurks a supreme master of poisons—the Manggu Toad!

Although it is merely icing on the cake for them now, it is ultimately a rare and wonderful encounter in this world.

If we could bring this strange beast under our control, it would be an unexpected bonus.

If it cannot be found, Linquan has no intention of forcing it!

Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan both released their divine senses, which spread outwards like ripples on water.

Seeing this, Lin Quan immediately spoke up:

"Finding it is wonderful, but if you can't find it, there's no need to worry..."

"Um……"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Jingjing and the other person nodded slightly, their brows revealing a hint of indifference.

For them, the Manggu Toad was no longer something they absolutely needed.

However you look at it, this creature is still a rare and unusual supernatural beast in this world.

Although the two women did not search intentionally, wherever the three of them passed, the undulating mountains and lush forests, every branch, leaf, stone and crevice, were all swept by their divine senses and revealed in the finest detail.

"Huh? There's actually some noise!"

In a short while, Qiao Jingjing's eyes suddenly lit up, her lips curled up slightly, and she gave Wang Yuyan a wink before pulling Lin Quan up and taking to the air—

He moved with lightning speed, heading straight for the rocky slope where she had noticed something amiss.

Coo—coo—coo—

While the three were still more than ten feet above the ground, a deep, trembling sound suddenly erupted from the grass, trees, and rocks below, like distant thunder rolling across the earth's veins.

The three stopped in their tracks upon hearing the sound, exchanged glances, and understood each other without saying a word.

Without even needing to investigate further, the deep, drum-like sound, imbued with an underlying sense of power, was enough to make a definitive judgment—

It is undoubtedly the Manggu Toad!

At this moment, Wang Yuyan's clear and melodious voice quietly rang out:

"Hidden among the pile of rocks below is a cave entrance..."

"That hole is most likely its nest."

"A group of giant toads were actually living in the cave!"

Indeed, under the combined exploration of Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan, the small cave was completely exposed.

The cave walls were damp and dark, and inside, more than ten giant toads were nestled.

Two of them were over two inches long, their bodies shimmering with crimson flames, and they were already mature. One was male and the other female, and their auras were in harmony.

The rest were no more than the thickness of a little finger, their bodies a deep crimson like dripping blood, clearly all being very young cubs.

After seeing the whole picture, the two women turned their gazes to Lin Quan and said in unison:

"My lord, should we take all these toads with us, or...?"

Lin Quan hesitated for a moment, his gaze sharpening slightly: "How many cubs are there in total?"

"Sixteen, not one missing."

After hearing this, he no longer hesitated and replied decisively:

"Take two pairs of cubs with you, and leave the rest in the cave to reproduce naturally."

Swah——

Before he finished speaking, a blue-patterned wooden box appeared in his palm with a slight thought.

This box is made from the corpse of a 30,000-year-old plant-type soul beast from the Martial Soul World. The wood is warm and moist, and full of vitality.

Besides containing magical herbs and elixirs, the mirror space also contains many similar wooden boxes—

Only a mere ten percent was actually used; the remaining ninety percent lay quietly and neatly in the storage ring.

"This box is full of nurturing power, perfect for housing cubs."

As soon as Lin Quan finished speaking, Qiao Jingjing nodded in acknowledgment.

The next instant, four tiny froglets, each about the size of a thumb, burst out of the hole and leaped into the air—

Quack! Quack! Quack!

The divine sense, like a cocoon, protected the young creature. Even though it was just a larva, the low humming still made the surrounding air buzz and the leaves rustle within a hundred paces.

Its small body was entirely crimson, as if burning, and its eyes shone with golden light, like two stars cast from molten gold.

It is incredibly strange.

The world Wang Yuyan lives in is indeed of a low social status.

However, some beings have long transcended common sense and cannot be nurtured by the ordinary laws of this world.

For example, Changchun Valley, which nurtured the Xiaoyao Sect and gave birth to Xiaoyaozi—

Legend has it that the "Eternal Youth and Longevity Technique," which grants eternal youth and long life, was obtained from the valley.

For example, there's the Manggu Toad right before our eyes, and the Ice Silkworm, a strange beast lurking somewhere unknown...

These are creations that cannot be easily generated in the ordinary world!

Qiao Jingjing gently placed the four cubs into the wooden box in Lin Quan's palm.

Just moments ago, it was flapping its little paws and chirping incessantly, its body twisting like a tightly wound rope.

But as soon as they touched the wooden box, the four little creatures seemed to sense some kind of destiny; their cries suddenly ceased, and their restlessness subsided like the receding tide.

In the blink of an eye, they were lying quietly in the box, their furry backs rising and falling slightly, and even their breathing became soft.

"No wonder he's the offspring of the Manggu Toad..."

"This box is imbued with the life force of thousand-year-old sacred wood; to them, it is more soothing than honey..."

"Once the benefits are realized, there's no need to pretend anymore."

Lin Quan stared at the four docile little shadows in the box, shook his head and smiled. With a slight thought, the space in the mirror opened—a drop of blood surfaced: as red as molten gold and as deep as ancient ink, it was the essence blood of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast!

The moment the blood droplet fell into the box, the four cubs suddenly raised their heads, their eyes gleaming with an eerie light, and they all opened their mouths, their throats trembling—

Glug! Glug! Glug! Glug!

Four soft sounds, and the drop of blood was completely swallowed.

Immediately afterwards, several low, hoarse "quack" sounds spread out, like a burp or a sigh.

Before the words were even finished, the four little creatures drooped their eyelids, curled up into four soft, fluffy balls, and fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Quan bent down to examine the area, confirming that his breathing was even and his soul fire was stable, before slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air.

These four cubs are not yet useful enough to defend against enemies, but they are also not worth abandoning.

It's utterly useless.

But if one could truly shed another layer of skin using the flesh and blood of a soul beast, breaking free of its shell to become a real soul beast—

The title of "King of All Poisons" is not an empty name;

That ability to be immune to all poisons is no longer a legend.

By then, let alone the poisons and other magical arts techniques found in ordinary martial arts worlds,

Even the bone-corroding miasma of the Immortal Sect's Purgatory and the heart-corroding fog descended from the Divine Realm can withstand 30%, 50%, or even more.

With these iron-clad internal organs, one can venture into secret realms, explore poisonous caves, and mingle in medicinal pools without ever having to live in fear or constantly guard against the stench wafting from the shadows.

"The four cubs are stable."
