While sitting on the spectator seats of the ritual ground, Maya began explaining about the poison god ritual.
“Kent, apart from inheritance grounds, there are some places where you can get the blessings of demigods. Those places are called legacy grounds. Usually, people worship the demi-gods on these legacy grounds.
Every legacy ground has a particular item or a consciousness left by the Demi God. In the case of this poison god legacy ground, one of my ancestors made this statue using nine poisonous rocks. Impressed by the statue, the poison god personally appeared in this place and left his consciousness inside the statue.
On the 13th Lunar Day of every year, poison god insights will be released by this statue to benefit the worshiping sect. How much you will benefit from these insights depends on your caliber. You only have one chance in life. Also, one of my ancestors reached 9th rank in poison arts with the help of poison god insights.”
Maya finished explaining in a proud tone. Kent is really surprised by this revelation. It is really a blessing in disguise for him. He never expected to encounter this fruitful encounter from an enemy clan.
“Maya, I don’t know how to repay you. But thank you for your help.” Kent replied in a sincere tone.
Maya smiled happily at his reply. “You don’t need to thank me. Don’t forget to find an antidote to the poison used by my father. I hope after absorbing the poison god insights, you will be able to concoct an antidote for yearly poison.” Maya replied with an affectionate look.
Kent nodded his head with a promising look. As disciples began gathering in the spectator seats of the ritual ground, they let go of their hands and sat casually.
Time passed slowly as elders began preparing the alter around the poison god statue. First, they arranged things for the ritual worship routine.
Slowly, the process continued as people began singing songs to please the poison god and offering things to his statue.
Kent patiently observed all the things the elder and selected disciples were doing as a ritual process. The matriarch stood close to the poison god statue on the ground and began washing the statue’s feet with different poisons.
As the ritual continued, the black statue began to gain a glow. By the time the guardian sun reached the middle of the sky, the statue had turned into a shiny object.
The elders, under the guidance of the matriarch, began arranging the poison god alter positions into a formation. Soon, 13 circular rock platforms rose a few feet above the ground.
After making sure that the formation is in order, the matriarch called for the names of 13 people who were going to participate in the ritual. Kent followed Maya to the ritual ground. Many of the spectators were staring at him enviously.
While closing her eyes, the matriarch began pointing her hand at each alter position, and one by one, the disciples moved to that particular position. Maya got the position on the right side of the poison god statue. But Kent was directed to the alter behind the poison god statue. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Before sitting on the alter, Kent observed each platform. Even after a long time, he did not understand which formation they were sitting in. Shaking his head, Kent sat in meditation and closed his eyes. With a deep breath, Kent let go of all random thoughts and focused on the shining poison god statue.
After the 13 people occupied their spots on the rock alters, the matriarch bowed before the poison god and poured her blood drops before the feet of the poison god statue. Without looking back, she walked out of the formation and commanded all the elders to move away from the ritual ground.
Soon, the shining of the poison god statue increased greatly, and people found it hard to stare at the statue with their naked eyes. All the shiny rays releasing from the statue were rushing towards the 13 people who occupied alter positions.
Just as the hot rays from the statue touched Kent’s skin, he slipped into a trance. Unknowingly, he began adsorbing the colorful rays into his body. With each ray entering his body, Kent began to understand a new recipe for a poison concoction.
Each light ray is different according to its color. Not only poison concoction, Kent began gaining knowledge about treating poisons, concocting antidotes, controlling poisonous creatures, etc.
While other people were absorbing one ray at a time, Kent was absorbing multiple rays at once. In reality, these rays are poisonous, and if they fail to absorb them, the rays will eventually cause death. That’s why all of them were very picky about what rays they were absorbing.
All the elders and the matriarch were shocked by the absorption rate of Kent. Everyone was wtaching Kent in surprise and awe. At present, Kent appears like a black hole that is absorbing all types of rays from the statue without showing any failure.
Kent, who doesn’t know about outside situations, is fully focused on refining these light rays and learning extensive knowledge about poisons. The poison god consciousness inside the statue woke up from its slumber as it sensed Kent.
As the consciousness began acting, the statue turned completely black. Immediately, everyone who was watching this scene fell to their knees. It became hard for others to absorb the light rays, and only Maya is keeping up by absorbing one black ray at a time.
Kent, who felt the change in intensity of light rays, quickly adjusted his thought process and began refining the advanced poison techniques stored in the black rays. The poison god consciousness began sending the best of the best knowledge to Kent in clear order.
“What an interesting guy. He has the talent to become a poison lord subordinate.” The consciousness thought while helping Kent gain all the knowledge he could transfer.
As other disciples failed to keep up with the black ray’s absorption, they were tossed out of their positions. Only Maya and Kent remained in their positions, absorbing the advanced poison arts. Discover stories with freewebnovel
“A smile played on Kent’s face as he was able to find the antidote for the yearly poison of the poison clan patriarch. Absorbing the black rays from the statue really provided him with advanced knowledge about poisons, antidotes, treatments, poisonous plants, creatures, and several forbidden poison arts.
