Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)
chapter-2385

Extreme Ocean had been mulling over this for an entire week. Once he heard that Ancient Ocean had returned, Extreme Ocean decided to take action.

The four royal attendants rarely had the opportunity to gather together. Usually, two of them remained in Grace Sacred Hall while the other two patrolled outside.

If he held a banquet and poisoned them there, he would definitely be able to trap all three of them at once!

Now that he had finally waited until the moment that the four of them were gathered, he could not afford to wait any longer.

He had come up with a reason in the past week.

However, using the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves on this was a waste.

He had not been able to bring himself to use the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves ever since he obtained it 2,000 years ago.

But now, he was going to use it on others.

If he drank the bottle of Wine of Exquisite Water Waves, his body would definitely be able to transform.

Ancient Ocean, Ink Ocean, and Frozen Ocean had been eyeing the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves for thousands of years.

If he offered the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves, all three of them would rush over to get a taste even if they were all out.

He intended to offer Lin Yuan this Wine of Exquisite Water Waves at a banquet. It was likely that Lin Yuan would appreciate this gesture! If Lin Yuan was unmoved, his losses would be significant!

Extreme Ocean believed that Lin Yuan was not such a person.

If Lin Yuan was such a person, he would not have accepted so many Samsara Realm Dictators into his camp.

Extreme Ocean was well aware of the effects of his own poison. The target's entire body would go numb and begin to break down until they finally went unconscious.

His poison was always effective against those who were weaker than him. But it might not be very effective on Ancient Ocean, Ink Ocean, and Frozen Ocean. The three of them were of a similar power level to him and thus had substantial resistance against his poison.

If he was only using his own poison, Extreme Ocean would not have much confidence. What filled him with confidence was the bottle of poison that Evil Source had given him.

Extreme Ocean had asked for two bottles of the antidote from Evil Source.

He had to use the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves this time, so he would drink the antidote before the banquet began.

Extreme Ocean also wanted to try Evil Source's poison first and see if it interfered with his own poison. If it did interfere with his own poison and reduced the overall effectiveness, he would not be trapping Ancient Ocean, Ink Ocean, and Frozen Ocean but would be feeding himself to them instead!

With this thought, Extreme Ocean first added his poison into the wine before pouring three drops of Evil Source's poison into the cup and downing its contents.

Soon after he consumed it, his brain went numb. This feeling caused him to feel numb.

Extreme Ocean knew that this was due to the effects of his poison. The symptoms were not strong now due to the small quantity of poison.

Extreme Ocean silently sat in front of the table, waiting for more symptoms to occur.

But the effects of Evil Source's poison still had not appeared even after all the symptoms of his poison had disappeared.

This situation caused cold sweat to begin dripping down Extreme Ocean's back, and he felt as though he had been stabbed in the back by Evil Source.

There was no poison in the bottle. It was just a bottle of useless fluids!

Extreme Ocean could already see himself being eliminated by the combined forces of Ink Ocean, Ancient Ocean, and Frozen Ocean if he tried to poison them with this.

An idea suddenly popped into Extreme Ocean's head. Could this all be part of Lin Yuan's manipulations? But there was no reason for Lin Yuan to harm him.

If Lin Yuan wanted to harm him, he could have done so long ago.

After thinking for a moment, Extreme Ocean decided that this was due to Evil Source trying to harm him secretly. It was likely that Evil Source was afraid that he would show him up in front of Lin Yuan.

The more Extreme Ocean thought about it, the angrier he became and circulated the source power in his body before violently slamming his hand down on the table.

All that happened was a bang, but the table made of Iron Bone Coral did not break.

Extreme Ocean had exerted such a large amount of strength that his hand went numb.

Extreme Ocean suddenly realized that there were numerous gray and purple worms crawling all over the blood vessels he used to circulate source-type power.

The worms blocked his blood vessels and prevented him from transporting source-type power to his entire body.

He could kill the purple and gray worms by forcefully pushing his source-type power through the blood vessels.

However, the purple and gray blood worms consumed the source-type power in the blood vessels and multiplied quickly.

After being held stuck by these two worms for almost ten minutes, Extreme Ocean laughed soundlessly and consumed the antidote that Evil Source had given him.

An unpleasant bitter taste filled his mouth and almost caused Extreme Ocean to choke.

Less than a minute after the antidote entered his body, the gray and purple worms died and were ground up by the source-type power in his blood vessels.

It turned out that Evil Source had not stabbed him in the back. The effects of the poison were only noticeable when the target circulated their source-type power.

Extreme Ocean was filled with confidence now that he had experienced the effects of Evil Source's poison.

He decided to add Evil Source's poison into the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves.

He would serve the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves first and serve the dishes after the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves had been completely drunk.

With his poison in the dishes, the purple and gray worms would already have spread throughout their bodies by the time the three of them noticed his poison.

At that time, it would be he who would have them under his thumb and not the other way around.

Now that he had made his decision, Extreme Ocean waved at a servant and said, "Go and send word to the other three royal attendants. Tell them that I'm willing to give up the key to the treasure vault and that I'm willing to share the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves with them! All you need to do is tell them what I said verbatim. Don't add another word!"

Smooth Flow was the servant who had been with Extreme Ocean for the longest.

When the two rulers had still been around, Smooth Flow had already been with Extreme Ocean for thousands of years. Extreme Ocean usually liked to discuss all matters with Smooth Flow.

But now, Smooth Flow could sense that Extreme Ocean was hiding something from him.

The matter had to be grave to cause Extreme Ocean to react that way. It was likely that this had something to do with the dimensional rift that Extreme Ocean had discovered!

Isa and the others had gone to deliver the news to Extreme Ocean, but only Extreme Ocean had returned, with Isa and the rest nowhere in sight.

The Wine of Exquisite Water Waves was Extreme Ocean's most treasured item. Even if he had gone mad, he would never joke around using the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves!

He could not even bear to drink it himself. How could he bear to offer it to guests at a banquet?

Although Extreme Ocean was not the strongest of the four royal attendants, he had always been ambitious and dreamed of climbing to the top. It was just that he lacked the power to do so.

If he handed over his key to the treasure vault, he would be dropping a rock on his own foot.

Smooth Flow's brow remained deeply furrowed the entire journey to see Ancient Ocean.

He was Extreme Ocean's oldest servant. If Extreme Ocean was truly planning something against the other three royal attendants, there was no chance that Smooth Flow would make it out unscathed!
