Chapter 263: Chapter 190: Five Poison Creatures Again?

“Gongsun Jinghong is too strong. Given the situation, I had no choice but to play along for now.”

“Miss, surely you could see that?”

By this time, Gongsun Jinghong had already floated away, her figure seeming to merge into the bright, clear moon.

The moon was full tonight, and Gongsun Jinghong’s departing figure possessed a breathtakingly full, moon-like curve of its own.

Zou Feng couldn’t help but sneak a couple more glances.

When he turned around, he was not at all surprised to see Bian Yixia staring at him, her expression full of questions.

In fact, when Zou Feng joined the Black Flood Dragon Gang, his established persona was that of someone who enjoyed frequenting brothels. Even during his time as a slave, he had a verifiable record of it.

Later, he grew close to Wang Xingjian and the others, and would still visit the brothels from time to time.

Besides, how many people in gangs could stay clean in that regard?

So, Zou Feng had always been a “lecher,” something Bian Yixia was well aware of and no longer surprised by.

After all, among the leadership of the Black Flood Dragon Gang back then, Zou Feng was already considered one of the normal ones. You wouldn’t believe the other weirdos they had…

Therefore, what Bian Yixia truly found strange was why Zou Feng would believe Gongsun Jinghong’s nonsense.

Wasn’t he afraid of being screwed over by Gongsun Jinghong, drained completely through replenishment, and squeezed into a shriveled husk?

But her doubts were normal. After all, Bian Yixia didn’t have the List of Gods, so she couldn’t know whether Gongsun Jinghong truly had any killing intent.

Listening to Zou Feng’s excuses, Bian Yixia shifted her gaze to the “Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill” manual in his hands and said, “Somehow, I get the feeling you’re actually planning to practice this Skill.”

“This Skill is truly profound. It’d be a waste to miss out. Besides, even after I master it, I don’t necessarily have to dual cultivate with that Gongsun Jinghong…” Zou Feng continued to argue, his expression unchanging.

Bian Yixia rolled her eyes at his words. “Do you take me for an idiot? This is the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill. Just from the name, you can tell it requires two people to cultivate together—one as the ’Dragon’ and one as the ’Tiger’.”

“Only when the Dragon and Tiger Converge can its greatest effect be achieved. How could you possibly practice it with just any random partner?”

Zou Feng felt a flush of embarrassment. He had forgotten that Bian Yixia was also an Evil Genius and was completely Dedicated to the Martial Dao. With just a little information, she could guess the characteristics of a Cultivation Skill with near-perfect accuracy. There was no fooling her.

The truth was just as Bian Yixia had analyzed. The first page of the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill’s Heart Skill that Zou Feng received clearly stated that it was the Cultivation Heart Skill for the ’Tiger’ path.

When Zou Feng had flipped through it earlier, he had been curious why Gongsun Jinghong had given him the ’Tiger’ role.

’Shouldn’t I be the one playing the ’Dragon,’ with Gongsun Jinghong as the ’Tiger’? After all, under the moonlight, Gongsun Jinghong’s skin was so fair it practically glowed.’

He coughed and shook his head slightly. “Not necessarily. At worst, I’ll try to modify the Skill. Maybe I can get good results without Gongsun Jinghong.”

Although it was still an excuse, Zou Feng was, after all, an Evil “Genius.” Bian Yixia really couldn’t be certain that he wouldn’t be able to modify it.

“Suit yourself. Just don’t get yourself truly mesmerized by that bitch. The Great Yan Royal Family is not to be trifled with.”

Bian Yixia was no ordinary woman, after all. Her main concern was still Zou Feng’s safety.

Besides, she didn’t currently have any other standing to excessively question or interfere with this “fateful opportunity” of Zou Feng’s.

For those who aspired to climb to the peak of the Martial Dao, who didn’t desperately claw their way up, stopping at nothing?

After that, Zou Feng said a few more words to reassure Bian Yixia, then walked over to the meeting gift Gongsun Jinghong had left for him.

His attention had just been focused on Gongsun Jinghong and the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill. Only now did Zou Feng have a moment to carefully examine the leader of the Forest Sea’s Giant Spiders.

The blood-red patterns in particular immediately sparked a sense of familiarity in Zou Feng.

’Huh… why do I get the feeling this thing was also deliberately raised by Biyou Palace on Qifeng Mountain? After all, no one ever said Biyou Palace could only raise that Giant Scorpion on Qifeng Mountain and not a Giant Spider, right? Thankfully, this Giant Spider should be a poisonous creature on the same level as the Giant Scorpion, not one of those “food” items whose toxicity is marked in red. So, taking its venom for Refinement wouldn’t lead to disciples from Biyou Palace hunting me down. But could a spider-type poisonous creature be related to Teng County, the new Cave Master of the Silk Cave? Also, since there’s a Giant Scorpion and a Giant Spider on Qifeng Mountain, could the other three of the Five Poison Creatures also be raised somewhere here?’

At this thought, an idea truly began to form in Zou Feng’s mind.

Before, his strength was insufficient, so he wouldn’t have dared to entertain any ideas about that Giant Scorpion.

But now, he could just refine them all in an instant!

The next moment, Zou Feng no longer hesitated. He ripped out the Giant Spider’s Poison Gland and began to refine it on the spot.

“Five Poison Fire Lotus Skill (Peak of Perfection) Progress: 43%”

His Cultivation progress jumped by five points. As expected of something so compatible with the Five Poison Skill!

When Zou Feng opened his eyes again, a fierce glint flashed within them, and his flowing Gang Qi seemed even more agile.

After refining the Spider Poison, it went without saying that his own toxicity had increased. But Zou Feng also felt that his explosive power had been significantly enhanced as well.

It was like he had gained the explosive power of a “jumping spider”—the kind that pounces on its prey rather than using a web to hunt.

This explosive power wasn’t just about speed, but also about a precise grasp of timing.

In any case, with this new enhancement, Zou Feng was certain he could develop new techniques.

Most of the Spider Poison had been refined, but a small portion remained.

This type of venom wasn’t something you could store in just any container.

An ordinary container would either cause the venom’s toxicity to quickly degrade or be rapidly corroded and damaged, causing the venom to leak out.
