Lin Zheyu shook his head.

Both the kindness of his master in passing on his skills and the camaraderie of his senior brother had already been repaid by Lin Zheyu.

When he left Songyi City, he also assisted the Feihong Gang, which could be considered as repaying a debt of gratitude.

“I need to find a place to settle down and make a few friends. Otherwise, going to a brothel by myself is really boring.”

Lin Zheyu muttered to himself.

People are social creatures and need to have a few friends and their own circle of contacts.

It doesn’t have to be many, but there must be some.

Otherwise, it’s easy to develop mental problems.

When he returned to the inn, it was already late at night.

The inn hadn’t closed yet, and there were still people having supper on the first floor.

Lin Zheyu passed by Lai Mao’s room and gently knocked on the door.

“Who is it?”

Lai Mao’s voice sounded, without a sign of fleeing.

He was cautious by nature and valued his life greatly, not wanting to risk escaping before obtaining the antidote.

“It’s me.”

“How’s the transcription of the cultivation technique going?”

Lin Zheyu said blandly.

Squeak—

The door opened, and Lai Mao came out holding two freshly written cultivation techniques.

“These are the two cultivation techniques I just finished. Take a look first, I’ll continue transcribing.”

Lai Mao said.

He looked nervously at Lin Zheyu, hoping to read something from his face.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed. Lin Zheyu expressionlessly took the cultivation techniques, “Very well, keep it up. I’ll check the techniques first.”

After saying that, he turned and left directly.

“Phew~”

Lai Mao exhaled, turned back to his room, and continued transcribing the cultivation techniques.

The other party seemed easy to talk to. As long as he cooperated sincerely, there was a significant chance of surviving.

Holding two cultivation techniques, he returned to his room.

Xiaohei was already sleeping soundly on the floor.

It was now following Liang Yuhan and Liang Yunhui around the market. Liang Yunhui liked it very much and often bought it food, like roasted meat.

Lin Zheyu was worried that this little guy would be lured away by them.

“‘Purple Sun Saber Skill’, ‘Spiritual Mysterious Body Skill'”

“Two decent cultivation techniques, not bad.”

“‘Purple Sun Saber Skill’ is of no use to me, but this ‘Spiritual Mysterious Body Skill’ has some reference value.”

Lin Zheyu flipped through the two cultivation techniques, musing to himself.

In terms of the intricacy of the cultivation techniques, ‘Spiritual Mysterious Body Skill’ is a notch higher than the original ‘Golden Swan Skill.’

However, after several improvements and upgrades, ‘Golden Swan Skill’ far exceeded ordinary body techniques, and in the realm of second-rate techniques, it could almost be considered top-tier.

It might even be comparable to first-rate lightweight skills.

“The concepts and techniques involved in ‘Spiritual Mysterious Body Skill’ are quite novel. Next time I update the Golden Swan Skill, I should incorporate them.”

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

Sitting under the kerosene lamp, he memorized the contents of the cultivation techniques.

The content of the cultivation techniques was not much. If they were written for beginners, they needed to be very detailed, recording possible errors and points to note.

But this cultivation technique was written by Lai Mao for an expert like Lin Zheyu, so it didn’t need to be overly detailed.

It only needed to record the main cultivation methods, techniques, breathing methods, and the secret medicine needed during cultivation.

In less than half an hour, Lin Zheyu had memorized both cultivation techniques in his mind.

Time passed.

In a blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

Lai Mao would give Lin Zheyu two cultivation techniques on average every day.

“This is the last manual.”

“Can you give me the antidote now?”

Handing over the last manual, Lai Mao looked expectantly at Lin Zheyu.

During these days, he had cooperated extremely well without pulling any tricks or attempting to escape.

“How do you feel now?”

Lin Zheyu looked at Lai Mao with a peculiar expression.

The Poison Canon records that after taking the Corpse Worm Elixir, every seven days, the toxins would act, causing myocardial pain, and making the whole body feel as if being bitten by thousands of bugs, unbearably itchy.

But looking at Lai Mao, he seemed to feel nothing.

“Hmm?”

“Am I supposed to feel something?”

Lai Mao was somewhat bewildered, not understanding what Lin Zheyu meant by this question.

“It’s nothing, no rush.”

“If something feels wrong with your body in the next couple of days, come find me immediately. I’ll be staying in the inn for the next couple of days.”

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

After saying that and facing Lai Mao’s bewildered, frightened, and worried gaze, he turned and returned to his room.

“Is he… is he using me to test the medicine?”

Lai Mao swallowed, cursing Lai Chang internally for getting him into this mess.

Had it not been for the trouble caused by that bastard, he wouldn’t be in such a situation today.

“He must have figured out the antidote by now, right?”

Lai Mao was somewhat worried.

In the past, he had also tested medicines on enemies, the kind without antidotes, so he was very concerned about this.

Not knowing whether Zhao Hao was testing a mature poison to see if it was effective on a Qi Blood Four Transformations martial artist.

Or testing an improved new poison.

If it’s a new poison being tested, that would be troublesome.

Lai Mao could only hope that Lin Zheyu was testing some mature poison, effective on Qi Blood Realm martial artists, and had the antidote.

…

…

Lin Zheyu paid no mind to Lai Mao’s thoughts.

His current purpose had been achieved, and Lai Mao was no longer important.

He had acquired thirteen cultivation techniques from Lai Mao, which, if sold, could fetch a good amount of silver.

The prerequisite was being able to sell them.

Setting up a stall to sell cultivation techniques in the black market required some luck, as sometimes you couldn’t sell even one in a few days.

“‘Blood Saber Skill’

“Another saber skill?”

Lin Zheyu opened to the first page, where the three large characters for Blood Saber Skill came into view.

Lai Mao is a saber user, and among the thirteen cultivation manuals, six of them are saber skills.

Among these saber skills, two are short saber skills, presumably the cultivation techniques Lai Chang learned.
