Chapter 411: You Want To Experiment On My Skeletons? You Must Be Tired Of Living

The black powder inside the bottle was Putrid Corpse Poison.

Its toxicity wasn’t particularly strong—clearly low-level. Lin Moyu had encountered countless Putrid Corpses in the Putrid Corpse Land, so there was no mistaking it. It likely originated from Dongfang Yao’s mother.

Lin Moyu’s voice was low and steady, “Senior Medicine God, what do you intend to do?”

Shu Ping replied, “I can’t analyze the root of the skill directly, so I want to study how the Putrid Corpse Poison is neutralized.”

Lin Moyu’s expression shifted instantly, “You want to use my skeletons to test the poison?”

Shu Ping was taken aback, “Godly General Lin, do you find that inappropriate?”

Lin Moyu’s gaze darkened, his tone laced with displeasure, “My skeletons are my comrades. They may fall in battle, but they are not tools for experiments.”

“Senior Medicine God, if you need my help, I will not hesitate. But if you wish to use my comrades as test subjects—that is impossible.” His words were final, leaving no room for negotiation.

Shu Ping hadn’t expected Lin Moyu to value his skeletons so deeply. After all, Lin Moyu commanded thousands of them. Dongfang Yao had even mentioned that during their time in Putrid Corpse Land, his undead army was nearly wiped out. He had assumed the skeletons were merely tools for battle.

But Lin Moyu saw them as comrades-in-arms.

Shu Ping could understand. Many Summoners felt the same way—summoned creatures weren’t just minions, but family. To treat them as mere test subjects would be an unforgivable offense.

Dongfang Yao’s face tensed with worry, but Shu Han gently held her hand, signaling her to stay calm. She trusted that her grandfather would find another solution.

Shu Ping sighed, his voice carrying a hint of apology, “I was too presumptuous. General Lin, please don’t take offense.”

His tone was sincere, without the slightest hint of pretense.

Lin Moyu took a deep breath, “It’s fine. Is there anything else I can do to help? As long as it doesn’t harm them, we can discuss it.”

Shu Ping thought for a moment before replying, “There is another method I can try, and I guarantee it won’t harm your summoned creatures.”

As long as his undead troops weren’t harmed, Lin Moyu had no objections.

Shu Ping took out a small bottle of potion and sprinkled its contents over the Skeletal Berserk Warrior. As he did, he explained, “This is the Skill Absorption Potion I developed. It can absorb all kinds of skills—whether support or attack—and store them for later use.”

Lin Moyu was surprised that such a potion existed. He quickly considered its potential applications, “Are there any restrictions?”

Shu Ping nodded, “Of course. For instance, it can’t store God-level skills. There are also certain skills that can’t be absorbed, such as…”

Before he could finish, Lin Moyu interrupted, “Can it store Primordial Rune skills?”

Shu Ping shook his head, “Most likely not. The baseline of Primordial Rune skills is too high—higher than even God-level skills.”

Lin Moyu had expected this answer, so he wasn’t disappointed. It was only natural that such powerful skills couldn’t be stored.

After the potion was applied, a faint green glow enveloped the Skeletal Berserk Warrior.

Lin Moyu observed closely but sensed no harm to his summon. The potion merely coated the skeleton’s surface, doing nothing beyond that.

“Godly General Lin, please use your Nullify skill again.”

Lin Moyu gave a slight nod, and the Lich General activated its Nullify skill once more.

Under its effect, the green glow on the Skeletal Berserk Warrior rapidly faded.

Within moments, the skeleton returned to its original state—the potion had completely vanished.

Shu Ping’s eyes widened in shock, “How is this possible? Even my Skill Absorption Potion was removed?”

Nullify erased abnormal statuses.

As long as it didn’t exceed the skill’s limits, any abnormal status could be eliminated.

Shu Ping’s potion had been treated as an abnormal status and erased accordingly.

This outcome was completely beyond his expectations.

After a moment of thought, he arrived at a conclusion, “It seems the Lich General’s skill works from the inside out—what a fascinating ability.”

Lin Moyu agreed. The Lich General’s Nullify skill was indeed unique.

Shu Ping pondered for a while but couldn’t think of any other solution.

Lin Moyu spoke calmly, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”

Shu Ping nodded, “I’ve troubled you enough today. Han, see Godly General Lin off for me.”

Shu Han acknowledged the request.

Just before leaving, Lin Moyu turned his gaze toward Dongfang Yao, “Has the Dongfang Family still not prepared the compensation? Or are you refusing to compensate?”

Dongfang Yao’s body trembled. In that moment, Lin Moyu’s presence felt terrifying.

She quickly replied, “There have been some urgent family matters these past few days. But my father and the others will come soon.”

Lin Moyu nodded slightly, “My master is waiting.”

With that, Shu Han escorted Lin Moyu away until he disappeared from sight.

Tears welled up in Dongfang Yao’s eyes, “Grandfather Medicine God, is there really no hope for my mother?”

Shu Ping sighed, “Putrid Corpse Poison is the strangest poison I’ve ever encountered. So far, the only way to neutralize it is through Godly General Lin’s Lich Generals. No other method exists.”

Dongfang Yao’s voice was urgent, “But he won’t let you experiment on his skeletons.”

Shu Ping let out a deep sigh, “That’s understandable. To most Summoners, their summoned creatures are their closest companions. Just as Godly General Lin said, they may fall in battle, but they are absolutely not tools for experimentation.”

He looked at Dongfang Yao meaningfully, “Yao, think about it. If someone wanted to experiment on your mother, how would you react?”

Without hesitation, Dongfang Yao answered, “I would fight with all my might! But… he has so many skeletons.”

Shu Ping smiled, “That has nothing to do with numbers. I’ll think of another way to deal with your mother’s poison. At least in the Ice Seal Formation, her condition is stable, and her life isn’t in immediate danger.”

He paused before adding, “Godly General Lin also promised that as long as he has the ability, he will save her. Given his character, he will keep his word.”

Dongfang Yao still wore a worried expression, “But who knows how long that will take?”

Shu Ping replied calmly, “Not too long. Once he reaches God-level, it should be possible.”

“Really? But who knows when he’ll reach God-level?”

“With his rate of progress, it won’t be long.”

Meanwhile, Shu Han looked at Lin Moyu with an apologetic expression, “I’m sorry, Junior Lin. I didn’t expect my grandfather to make such a request.”

Lin Moyu’s tone remained flat, “It’s not your fault. Senior Medicine God probably didn’t understand the bond between me and my skeletons. Maybe he assumed that since I have so many, they’re just tools.”

Shu Han hesitated before asking cautiously, “You’re not angry, are you?”

Lin Moyu smiled slightly, “No need to worry. Ignorance is not a crime, and I’m not that narrow-minded.”

Shu Han let out a sigh of relief, “That’s good, that’s good.”

After a brief pause, she added, “Don’t be mad at Princess Yao either. She only wants to save her mother. Last time, when you were trapped in the Putrid Corpse Land, she never intended for that to happen.”

At the mention of Dongfang Yao, Lin Moyu’s expression cooled slightly, “I understand. I promised her that when I have the ability, I’ll help her save her mother.”

Lin Moyu was a man of his word.

After returning to Xiajing Academy, he received a message from Ning Yiyi: “I’m off to a trial by fire!”

That was all it said—no mention of where or for how long.

Being born into a prestigious family wasn’t always a blessing. The resources were abundant, and leveling was faster, but the pressure was immense. They had to work much harder than ordinary people.

Mo Yun was proof of that. Even someone like Dongfang Yao, a noble princess, didn’t have it easy.

Upon arriving at the Dungeon Hall, Lin Moyu entered the Beast God Plateau dungeon alone and began grinding.

Before reaching level 50, the Beast God Plateau was the best leveling ground.

Lin Moyu planned to reach level 50 as soon as possible—then head to the Immemorial Battlefield to meet that mysterious and terrifying being.
