Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

Upon hearing this, all of the people present stared at Zachary in amazement. Obviously, they hadn't expected Zachary to offer such a precious treasure as a gift to Kingston. Moreover, this was the first time they had ever met, yet he was being so generous.

"Young lad, do you really wish to give me such an invaluable present? If I'm not mistaken, that is a rare Sage Level material. And you're giving it to me for free?" Kingston asked tentatively. Just like everyone else, he was surprised at Zachary's generosity. It didn't seem like Zachary had any reservations about handing out such a rare material. For a moment, Kingston couldn't quite believe it.

"Why, of course! It's just a material, isn't it? Besides, for someone with your stature, it is just a small thing. Please accept my humble gift," Zachary answered politely. The real reason why he gave Kingston such an impressive gift was because he wanted to establish a good relationship with lots of powerful warriors. In this way, he might be given access to several useful resources in the future.

As soon as he took it in, he immediately felt a severe chill running down his entire body. After that, he felt his body gradually stiffening as the poison began to spread. To deal with this, he immediately released the Fighting Crane's power. It protected his heart. Then, he just allowed the cold toxin of the Magic Ice Herb to spread all over his body.

In order to refine the poison, he had to take it all in and allow it to spread. He needed to force his body to adapt to the poison before he could refine it. This was the only way he could achieve the desired effect. However, this process was awfully dangerous. If he could neither refine it nor detoxify it in time, he would die right away. Because of this, ordinary people would never dare to try this method. It was much too risky.

In any case, Zachary possessed the strongest healing power in the entire world. Hence, those that were considered as strong poisons by common folks almost had little effect on him. Even after the cold toxin had spread all over his body, it did not cause any other harm aside from freezing his blood and stiffening his meridians.
