Chapter 246: Chapter 181: Nine Yang Primordial Energy Pill

Zhao Ke was focused on calming the effects of their recent clash on his body. For a moment, he didn’t even notice the strange sensation in his nose.

“What is it?”

“You… You’re bleeding…”

Zhao Ke froze, then quickly raised a hand to wipe his nose.

But this wipe was like opening a floodgate; even more blood gushed out like a torrent.

’Tsk, it must be from taking too many Nine Yang Primordial Energy Pills recently!’

Zhao Ke was extremely concerned with his reputation. And since he was already putting on a show of anger, he certainly wouldn’t admit to two juniors that he’d been poisoned.

“What are you standing around for? Go after him!”

“That fiend was injured by my Sword Gang! He can’t have gotten far!”

The two disciples, only half-convinced, composed themselves and leaped forward, chasing in the direction Zou Feng had fled.

Of course, Zhao Ke didn’t stay put either, immediately following in pursuit.

However, if one looked closely, while it seemed they were pursuing side-by-side, Zhao Ke was always half a step behind his two juniors.

He was always in a position to pull his two juniors in front of himself at a moment’s notice.

Meanwhile, Zou Feng had expected it would take some effort to completely shake off the Fourth Grade Expert from the Celestial Essence Sword Sect.

But after looking back several times, he found that for some reason, the Fourth Grade Sword Sect expert hadn’t caught up.

Instead, after leaving the Poison Domain, he discovered several Gang Qi Realm soldiers, the Chief Constable from the Jiangnan Prefecture Government Office, and others, who jumped out to try and intercept him.

Since he was still carrying Yuwen Zheng, who needed to be kept alive, Zou Feng decisively entered State Two to avoid being bogged down. He unleashed “A Serious Beating,” and the area was instantly filled with agonizing wails.

He had spent some time in the Yuwen Mansion just now. The initial energy drain from using State Two had been replenished by the White Jade Spider Poison, so he was mostly recovered.

Entering the True Man State again wasn’t a problem.

And after that “beating,” the Martial Artists who had tried to stop him now had a much more direct understanding of just how formidable this Poison Cultivator was.

Having suffered a great loss, how could they dare to risk their lives to continue the interception?

Besides, they saw that the Gentleman’s Sword, Zhao Ke, had also come out in pursuit…

“You can’t escape!!”

Zou Feng was already long out of sight, but Zhao Ke still roared furiously from a distance.

Although his pursuit speed, along with his two juniors, was indeed very fast in the eyes of the crowd…

…to actually catch that Poison Cultivator, they’d probably need him to slip and take a hard fall first.

Empowered by State Two, Zou Feng pushed his Drunken Immortal Moon Chasing Step, which he had brought to the Peak of Perfection, to its absolute limit.

Amidst a series of terrifying sonic booms as he stepped on the air, his speed was incredible. It wasn’t long before he successfully escaped Jiangnan Prefecture City and reached a deserted wilderness.

It wasn’t that he wanted to stop, but the duration of State Two had run out. He had to stop to rest and replenish his energy.

He didn’t have much White Jade Spider Poison left. He needed to save some for his cultivation later, so Zou Feng didn’t want to use it all up now.

Fortunately, he had plundered some treasures from the Yuwen Mansion earlier, and among them were actually Nine Yang Primordial Energy Pills from the Celestial Essence Sword Sect.

The reason he recognized the elixirs was simple: the bottle was labeled.

Back when he was an Incense Master in the Black Flood Dragon Gang, Zou Feng had once obtained a Nine Yang Profound Qi Pill from the Celestial Essence Sword Sect.

At the time, it was the effect of this elixir that had allowed his slow-progressing Black Tortoise Sea-Suppressing Force to break through to the Realm of Refining Fire in one fell swoop.

And the Nine Yang Primordial Energy Pills he had just seized were naturally a higher quality item from the Celestial Essence Sword Sect.

Now that he was done causing trouble in Jiangnan Prefecture City, it was the perfect time to test this thing’s effects.

Of course, the Yuwen Mansion’s collection certainly wasn’t limited to just these elixirs.

However, items like Magical Artifacts were basically useless to Zou Feng at his current level of strength.

His Tribulation-Indestructible Body, at the Refined Realm, could already overpower most Protective Magical Artifacts in the Gang Qi Realm.

The key thing was, he didn’t have a Storage Pouch or anything like it. Carrying them all over his body would only slow his escape and could even allow him to be tracked.

Zou Feng had seized a total of six Nine Yang Primordial Energy Pills.

For some reason, each pill was stored separately in its own bottle.

After using State Two twice in such a short period, Zou Feng was now dizzy with hunger.

So, he directly swallowed three Nine Yang Primordial Energy Pills at once.

As soon as the Nine Yang Primordial Energy Pills went down, Zou Feng felt as if he had swallowed three miniature furnaces.

Clearly, for a Fifth Grade Martial Artist like him, eating three at once was a surefire way to court death.

Zou Feng hurriedly activated his Black Tortoise Sea-Suppressing Force, transferring the side effects to his number one sponsor.

The burning sensation instantly faded, replaced by a comfortable, warm current of energy flowing through his body.

The dizziness from hunger and the feeling of weakness from being completely drained quickly dissipated.

What surprised Zou Feng even more was that his Black Tortoise Sea-Suppressing Force, which had been progressing slowly since reaching Refined Skill, now showed a significant improvement.

This was indeed an unexpected bonus.

As Zou Feng’s Mental Technique Martial Arts, the Black Tortoise Sea-Suppressing Force naturally provided higher-quality Gang Qi that could flow endlessly like the waves of the sea.

Love That Can Stretch and Contract at Will was a Derived Skill from the Black Tortoise Sea-Suppressing Force.

“Black Tortoise Sea-Suppressing Force (Refined Skill), Progress: 95%”

The progress of his Black Tortoise Sea-Suppressing Force had been stuck at 89% for a long time.

This time, with the boost from the three Nine Yang Primordial Energy Pills, it had jumped by a full six percent.

Of course, this progress was also related to Zou Feng pushing himself to his limits: creating the Poison Domain and repeatedly using State Two.

Spending a long time at your limit either leads to a breakdown or a breakthrough.

’Perhaps, before my fight with Yuwen Boxi, I might be able to bring another Cultivation Skill to the Peak of Perfection…’

’No wonder the Celestial Essence True Gang is so domineering and unparalleled, with a resistance to my various Exotic and Mixed Poisons far exceeding that of other Gang Qi.’

’Experts from the Celestial Essence Sword Sect regularly take this elixir. How could their Gang Qi not become extremely yang and firm?’

While Zou Feng was focused on absorbing the effects of the Nine Yang Primordial Energy Pills, Yuwen Zheng, who was heavily poisoned and immobilized, finally regained consciousness, though he still couldn’t move.

When he woke up, he saw Zou Feng swallow three Nine Yang Primordial Energy Pills in one go.

This sight stunned Yuwen Zheng for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.

’Swallowing three Nine Yang Primordial Energy Pills at once—if that’s not courting death, what is?’

Yuwen Zheng was also a Fifth Grade expert and had taken several Nine Yang Primordial Energy Pills himself.

But when taking this elixir, it went without saying that you could only take one at a time. And each time, he needed his father or Fu Zhouchen to act as a Guardian, ready to help suppress the Nine Yang Pill Fire that could cause his body to spontaneously combust.

However, the scene Yuwen Zheng anticipated—Zou Feng quickly bursting into flames—never happened.

Far from combusting, Zou Feng showed no sign of pain from the pill fire’s refinement. His expression was as comfortable as someone soaking in a hot bath.

’Just what kind of monster is this!?’

’I’m a strong contender for the title of Martial Champion Scholar, one of the few geniuses in the entire Great Yan Dynasty…’

’But for someone with the bearing of a Martial Champion Scholar, I was effortlessly defeated by a Poison Cultivator, who should be a practitioner of unorthodox ways.’

The hope that had just sprouted was mercilessly extinguished. Even worse, Yuwen Zheng’s mentality collapsed, and he fell into a deep depression, beginning to question his life.

’No, it’s not time to despair yet.’

’No matter how powerful this Poison Cultivator is, as long as my father can find me, or if the Commandery Princess takes action…’

’It’ll be soon. This Poison Cultivator was careless after all…’

At this thought, Yuwen Zheng gradually calmed down.

After all, he had the makings of a Martial Champion Scholar; he wouldn’t completely break down that easily.

At the same time, Zou Feng finished cultivating, recovering ninety percent of his strength.

After letting out a long, turbid breath, Zou Feng looked up at Yuwen Zheng.

He remembered that when he had just defeated this kid, he had almost been beaten to tears.

’But now he’s quiet and no longer panicking. He clearly looks like he’s relying on something…’

’Right, I almost forgot about that!’

The next moment, Zou Feng snapped his fingers.

Xiaolv quickly appeared and pounced onto Yuwen Zheng’s body.

It then began crawling all over him, seemingly searching for something.

Yuwen Zheng had never been touched by such a hideous, monstrous insect. The constant feeling of its sticky legs on his skin made his scalp tingle with revulsion.

Soon, Xiaolv pulled a small Jade Talisman from his neck and delivered it to Zou Feng.

’I don’t know what this is, but it’s most likely a tracking-type Magical Artifact.’

His Gang Qi burst forth, and he crushed it into dust.

But Zou Feng knew things wouldn’t be that simple. After all, this was the son of the Governor of Jiangnan; there should be more than just one protective measure on him.

So, he raised his hand and sent out a cloud of Confusion Poison, knocking Yuwen Zheng unconscious again.

Then he used the Great Universal Hand, pressing it against Yuwen Zheng’s forehead.
