The Time Investigators and Suspicions part VI

But Highest Peak Level Earth Rank Poison Pledge Insect was not be taken lightly. It's more than life threatening!

A Poison Pledge Insect is an insect that lives in a colony like any other insect but when they became an adult, the males would be the one forming another colony or take over the reign of their present colony, like how a young strong male alpha beast challenging the reigning old alpha of their own pack, while the female adults would hide away in seclusion, going out only to hunt outside during autumn and winter and stacking up food after.

They were born with weak physique resembling a miniature version of a bee with frost snakes scales on its skin, and cicada's wings with a unique venom that can weaken its opponents, making them experience bizarre bodily changes.

But when used as a pledging connections, it would have a heavy repercussions to both parties involved.

The higher the level and rank the Poison Pledge Insect, the worst it will be, so it wasn't an exaggeration to say that it was life threatening, even at its lowest level and rank.

Earth Rank Poison Pledge Insect can even affects the future chances of advancement, making the already hard ascension to be riddled with more hurdles and hardship! And not just that, it can possibly negatively affect an individual's psych and personal comprehension, decreasing your one possible latent potentials!

Most of all, it has deep ties with the Earths Samsara. As long as you want to Samsara on any Earth then you should stay away from this kind and level of Poison Pledge Insect or you wouldn't be even given a chance for regret once it strikes you.

There were two solutions or antidotes to the venom.

First, the Crimson Blue Fire Lotus. True to its name, the Crimson Blue Fire Lotus is a Lotus with a bloody crimson color that emits blue fire. Unlike other kinds of fire, the fire this flower emits isn't hot nor does it burn, it was cold and can freeze into ice anyone and anything it touches instead.

The Crimson Blue Fire Lotus is natural flower that can't be planted. It doesn't have a particular living environment and can't be easily found. It is one of the rare heavenly blessed flower that ever existed in all the different Realms.

It's uses varies. It can be used in Pill Formula, as energy source for inscriptions and formation, can strengthen and adds varying attributes to weapons, and can even greatly benefits the blacksmith while forging the weapon, and many more.

Once found it would cause a great commotion because of its rarity and the effects it have. It can only be sought but can not be bought because no one would sell such a miraculous flower. It can even fully counter the Heaven Rank Poison Pledge Insect that can certainly affect the Reincarnations of powerful cultivators!

Second would be the commonly use antidote for the Poison Pledge Insect. It is the Prism Pill that was specially designed to counter the venom of the Poison Pledge Insect by a genius Alchemy Emperor during Demon Venerable Warmonger's era. It has different grades for different ranks of Poison Pledge Insect.

The complete Pill Formula has been lost in time when Demon Venerable Warmonger died, the genius Alchemy Emperor mysteriously disappeared along with all his exclusive Pill Formula.

The widely spread Prism Pill Formula came from the desperate attempts of many generation of Alchemy Emperors. But it's still an imitation that fall short to the original Prism Pill.

Nevertheless it's effective, to the relief of powerful cultivators and Alchemy Emperors. But they were also afraid that the new Pill Formula would be lost in time, so, to avoid the same thing happening again the imitated Prism Pill Formula became widely spread. And became the sole antidote use to counter the venom of the Poison Pledge Insects.

Truly, whoever their client is, she's more wicked than them, Demonic cultivators. Touching something that one shouldn't touch.

If they were not sure that she's in the leagues of the Righteous Factions according to the noticed given by the Mission Board then, they would doubt her identity as a Righteous cultivator. They could even be dealing with a lunatic.

Just, how much does she hate this Eldest Miss of the Di Family to go through the extra lengths? What have this mortal lady done to that Righteous cultivator for her to take such risks, and wanting even to participate in torturing this lady?

They were curious but they no the rules. There's no need to ask for reason or explanations, as long as the pay is satisfactory, then, everything can be discuss!

But this request from that cultivator needs to be given a higher price. They would sacrificing a lot once the deed is done.

'Hm? How much would the leader raise the price? It should make it worth, right?'

…

Grimold Demons are Demonic cultivator's job haven. Without any Factions help, Demonic cultivators usually goes solo and untrusting of others.

But Grimold Demons is different. It's an approved organization that existed for a very long time.

The founder or founders of this organization was an unknown cultivator, but because they have certain rules of taking any missions with an appropriate deemed price, it became a commonly go-to for those who want to borrow another's hand to do their dirty work for them.

That goes especially for those Righteous Factions who hides themselves in the cover of "Righteousness and Justice".

Many beings, especially humankind's, who are conscious of their image. Precisely because of it that they couldn't act straightforwardly oppose to others, making them grit their own teeth while enduring. Making the Grimold Demons a booming business while inadvertently supporting many Demonic cultivators.
