Chapter 200: Chapter 158: Wandering Dragon Master (2)

Of course, curing these Martial Artists who had been poisoned in various conflicts had a consequence: it made offending people extremely easy.

But this was precisely the effect Zou Feng wanted.

At present, the heavyweights on his List of Gods were growing in both number and caliber.

After all, once he advanced to the Gang Qi Realm and continued to practice his Cultivation Skill, heavyweights from the Inner Qi Realm would be all but useless.

They would basically croak after a single session.

Only fellow heavyweights from the Gang Qi Realm could carry the weight for him.

However, before he drained these heavyweights dry with his cultivation, Zou Feng couldn’t afford to be careless, so he changed his residence from time to time.

“Doctor Zou, I feel… like there’s still some poison left… Why don’t you come touch me again…”

’Is she getting addicted to this?’

Zou Feng’s smile didn’t falter. He remained where he stood and asked, “May I ask, what about the fee?”

The heavily-made-up woman seductively lifted her skirt and tossed a small pouch from her pocket toward Zou Feng as if it were an embroidered ball in a courtship ritual.

Zou Feng reached out, caught it, and immediately opened it.

For a life-saving detoxification, the silver in the pouch wasn’t much—only ten taels.

But Zou Feng wasn’t after silver to begin with. The real fee he required was a Poison Skill Secret Manual.

That’s right. Anyone who inquired about him beforehand knew that a symbolic amount of silver was fine; the main requirement was to bring a Poison Skill Secret Manual.

It didn’t have to be a particularly profound one, just a True Skill that Zou Feng hadn’t seen before.

Poison Skill Secret Manuals were a dime a dozen in the Southern Border; one could always get their hands on one or two with a little effort.

Even if the manual they brought was one Zou Feng had already seen, it didn’t matter. They could simply come back when they found a new one.

As for skipping out on the bill, that was unthinkable. You would just have to pray you never ran into Zou Feng again.

Otherwise, Zou Feng could replicate whatever poison you were originally afflicted with and then Return the Item to Its Original Owner.

The Poison Skill Secret Manual this heavily-made-up woman brought was titled “Red Python Burning Marrow Technique.”

It was another Poison Skill he had never seen, let alone practiced.

Furthermore, with Zou Feng’s expertise in the Poison Dao, he only needed a brief glance to know the manual was authentic.

“Not bad. This is a good Cultivation Skill. Your fee is paid in full!” Zou Feng nodded in satisfaction.

Unexpectedly, having had a taste and wanting more, the heavily-made-up woman wouldn’t let up. She wriggled on the rattan chair like a python.

“Doctor Zou, I really am still a little uncomfortable. Please, be a dear and help me…”

As she spoke, the woman’s clothes seemed to twist right off her body, like a snake shedding its skin.

Seeing this, Zou Feng gave a resigned frown.

’It wasn’t that he was unwilling to help, but unfortunately, the woman’s looks were a bit lacking. Besides, he wasn’t hungry right now…’

“Help you?”

“I’ll have to ask first!”

The heavily-made-up woman was taken aback, not yet realizing what Zou Feng was going to ask.

Zou Feng had already turned and shouted toward the house, “Wife, come out for a moment!”

“Coming!”

Tian Yun, dressed in a dark green dress, walked out gracefully.

Setting aside her appearance, the sheer Thunderous Roar of her entrance was enough to make the heavily-made-up woman shrink in shame.

“This guest needs my help to vent her fire,” Zou Feng said, pointing at the heavily-made-up woman.

Tian Yun smiled nonchalantly. “My husband has the benevolent heart of a physician. How can you not help someone in need? Quickly, undress!”

“I’ll help, too. I’ll push on your back from behind to give you a boost.”

Zou Feng immediately nodded and started to undo his belt. “Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you for that boost from behind…”

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be serious, the heavily-made-up woman couldn’t take it anymore.

“I suddenly remembered I have urgent business at home. Farewell!”

With that, the heavily-made-up woman deftly twisted her clothes back on and hurriedly fled the small courtyard.

Once there was no longer any sign of the heavily-made-up woman, Tian Yun laughed. “Somehow I feel… if that woman hadn’t minded playing like that, my husband really would have…”

Zou Feng retorted, “Well, if I really did… that, would Sister Yun really help push from behind?”

“If you dared to do it, I’d dare to push!” Tian Yun said without hesitation.

Zou Feng laughed heartily, then stepped forward and wrapped his arm around Tian Yun. “Sister Yun, you know I wouldn’t do that, so why test me? Come on, let’s go inside!”

“Go inside for what?”

“I’ve got a lot of fire to vent, too!”

Afterward.

Zou Feng and Tian Yun left the small courtyard and went to another residence they had prepared in advance.

The place where you detoxified people was definitely not a place for sleeping. That was basic common sense.

Otherwise, the probability of being woken up by a large, angry crowd was extremely high.

After all, just after curing the heavily-made-up woman, a new name had appeared on the List of Gods: “Tu Zuohai.”

’Don’t know him, but he can’t be so powerful that he could crush me.’

The reason was simple: if he were truly that strong, it made no sense that he would fail to kill a mere Seventh Grade Realm woman, giving her a chance to escape with her life.

Besides, Zou Feng had no intention of staying in Qingchuan City long-term. Once he had offended enough people, or provoked an existence he shouldn’t at his current stage, he would immediately choose to flee.

If they didn’t return to Yuan Guang County by crossing Qifeng Mountain from the Nanling Mountain Range, it would take a lot of time. But with his and Tian Yun’s speed, traveling at full tilt, twenty-some days would be enough to reach Yuan Guang County.

As for now, while he had sufficient resources, it was naturally time to frantically practice his Evil Skills.

Although being in the Gang Qi Realm was enough to be a king in Yuan Guang County, he had, after all, schemed to kill Yuwen Shuo. It was always right to lay low for a while.

Moreover, Yuwen Shuo’s father, the Governor of Jiangnan, Yuwen Boxi, had not shown any killing intent towards him, nor had he appeared on the List of Gods. This meant it was highly probable that the brothers of the Hongxing Gang weren’t in any major trouble for the time being.

Otherwise, if Yuwen Boxi had really begun to recklessly wipe out the Hongxing Gang, it made no sense that he would let him, the General Leader, off the hook.

However, just because Yuwen Boxi hadn’t appeared on the list yet absolutely did not mean the matter was over.

Yuwen Boxi was naturally swamped recently, dealing with rebel forces.

Once he was finished and freed up, if he decided to thoroughly investigate this matter, the situation could become unpredictable.

Zou Feng still had many ties in Yuan Guang County: his master’s family, brothers like Wang Xingjian, and Bian Yixia, who he wasn’t sure had successfully broken through to the Gang Qi Realm yet.

There was also the Iron Blood Gu Poison Group, which he had poured a massive amount of resources into cultivating.

He definitely couldn’t just give up on all these things.

’In any case, given the cultivation resources currently available in Qingchuan City, it won’t be difficult for me to maintain my rapid pace of cultivation.’

’So what if it’s Yuwen Boxi? It’s not like I can’t afford to offend him.’

’As long as that guy doesn’t insist on courting death like Yuwen Shuo did, we’ll be fine.’

’Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind becoming one of the rebels…’

After holding Tian Yun and napping for two hours, the two of them woke up together as the sky began to brighten at dawn.

After washing up and eating a simple breakfast, they each began their own cultivation sessions.

Although Zou Feng had already collected a dozen or so Poison Skill Secret Manuals, he certainly wouldn’t cultivate all of them.

Instead, he would selectively cultivate the Poison Skills that were compatible with the Cultivation Skills he was currently practicing.

As for the manuals he didn’t cultivate, they weren’t useless. They broadened his knowledge and increased the progress of his “Poison Scripture.”

Currently, Zou Feng had cultivated three Poison Skills.

Two of them had already been integrated into his Five Poison Fire Lotus Skill.

The only one remaining was the “Corpse Luo Heart Scripture.”

This was a Heart Skill that used Corpse Poison to temper one’s own body.

In truth, this skill wasn’t suitable for integration, but because Zou Feng judged its grade to be very high, he couldn’t resist practicing it anyway.

He had never encountered this Corpse Poison stuff before.

But just from the manual’s description, once cultivated to a profound Realm, the effects could only be described as terrifying.

To put it simply, a person afflicted by Corpse Poison would be temporarily transformed into a “Zombie.”

Although a Zombie had almost no brains, it could, for a short period, carry out simple commands from the poisoner.

This was equivalent to Zou Feng being able to mass-produce Zombies. Although they were temporary and their individual strength wasn’t particularly high, one could imagine how absurdly effective this Cultivation Skill could be in a chaotic battle against a large number of enemies.

’Therefore,’ Zou Feng estimated, ’if I truly cultivate this Skill to its highest Realm, I could almost be considered half a Necromancer…’

Unfortunately, cultivating this Skill was nowhere near that easy. Not to mention the insane side effects, the cultivation requirements were also extremely harsh.
