Chapter 0221 – Snakes and Scorpions as Companions – Absolute Return
by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)The setting sun was like blood, coloring the sky a crimson red.</p>
Jian Wuji cultivated alone among the mountains and forests far away from his residence. Ever since he left his master’s school, but whenever he had some spare time, he would seize the time to cultivate.</p>
At first, when the Poison King saw how diligent he was, he thought that he was doing it for himself, and his eyes were filled with skepticism. However, as the days went by, he realized that Jian Wuji refused to let go of even bits and pieces of time, and only then did he put away his contempt and secretly shook his head and sighed, "What a ruthless person!" How could the Poison King know that what Jian Wuji practiced was not an ordinary martial art?</p>
"To seek the ultimate in martial arts, one must first shed their mortal bones." This was what Jian Wuji realized in his heart, but in order to do so, he needed to pay for hardships that were unimaginable to ordinary people. The only way to reach that legendary realm is to cultivate one’s martial arts to the extreme while constantly honing one’s heart. If the heart is not strong, empty ideas and neglect to practice, even if the temperament has changed, martial arts is also difficult to inch forward.</p>
Jian Wuji first practiced the fierce and overbearing "Thunderbolt Cultivation Fist", and then studied the light and airy "Wind God Steps", and even the exquisite "Flying Sky Sword Technique" was not left behind.</p>
Finally, he tried to integrate these three martial arts. After all, the jianghu was dangerous and surrounded by strong enemies, the only way to be invincible in a life and death struggle was to maximize what he had learned.</p>
After taking the "Ten Thousand Poisons Extreme Bliss Pill", Jian Wuji’s internal strength not only soared, but even its quality changed drastically. He could feel that his internal force had become more pure and thick, and his moves were far more powerful than before.</p>
The sun was setting and the evening sun was like fire. Jian Wuji stood on a towering rock and looked at the flaming clouds in the sky as he ended his cultivation for the day.</p>
Night fell, and the lights came on. Jian Wuji, who had ended his cultivation for the day, walked faithfully into the city and entered a store.</p>
The store was owned by an old woman, who was said to have skillful hands and was the best craftsman in the city.</p>
"Is it all done?" Jian Wuji asked.</p>
"It’s all here, what do you think?" The old woman said, handing over the things in her hand.</p>
Jian Wuji took a look and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. "Good, thank you so much!"</p>
After paying the agreed amount of silver taels, Jian Wuji left the store with the items and went straight back to his residence.</p>
The place he was going to was none other than the Poison King’s room.</p>
At this moment, the Poison King was pacing back and forth in the room alone, seemingly pondering over some difficult problem. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he quickly walked to the table, picked up a quill pen, and wrote furiously on the paper.</p>
I don’t know how long he had been writing, but as if he had encountered some bottleneck, Poison King stopped his pen and once again paced up and down the room. Just like this, he buried his head in thought for a while, and wrote furiously for a while, completely immersed in his own world.</p>
"Still not sleeping?" Jian Wuji’s voice suddenly sounded at the door.</p>
When the Poison King heard this, he hurriedly put down the book in his hands and looked up at the visitor. "It’s late at night, why are you here?"</p>
"Sending you something." Jian Wuji said, handing over the object in his hand.</p>
It was a pair of well-made black gloves.</p>
"What is this?" The Poison King took the glove, and a strange touch came from his hand, clearly not a mortal product.</p>
"It’s made from poison avoiding Heavenly Silkworm silk." Jian Wuji replied.</p>
"Poison Avoiding Heavenly Silkworm Silk?!" The Poison King was stunned when he heard this.</p>
As the name suggests, it is a special material that can avoid poison, and its effectiveness is far from the ordinary green leather gloves. If the best heavenly silk is known for its toughness, then the poison avoiding heavenly silk is known for its poison avoidance.</p>
"Where did you get this kind of treasure?" The Poison King asked in a hurry.</p>
"I found it in Ikuo’s secret vault. I purposely took it to the city and asked that old woman to help make the gloves. The size is made according to the gloves you wore when you were in the Forest of a Thousand Poisons, so they should fit well."</p>
Originally, when wrapped in the fake "night pearl" green silk, is to avoid poisonous silk made of silk. I think it is to protect the "Ten Thousand Poisons Ultimate Bliss Dan" medicinal properties, only specially wrapped with this thing. From this, when the "Ten Thousand Poisons Ultimate Bliss Dan" hidden in the "Pearl of the Night" in the person, must be a poison master.</p>
"Why would you give me such a precious thing?" The Poison King asked in disbelief.</p>
"It is precisely because it is precious that I want to give it to you. As a Poison King, you don’t even have a decent pair of poison avoidance gloves, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at when you say it?" Jian Wuji said with a smile.</p>
"A famous pen still chooses its owner, let alone a mere object?" Although the Poison King said this on his lips, this was not what he thought in his heart.</p>
"It’s not like the brush will hurt anyone’s life. In the future, when you deal with those highly poisonous things again, you must wear it." Jian Wuji said and handed over the rest of the Poison Avoiding Heavenly Silkworm Silk. "These are the rest, you may have other uses for them."</p>
Jian Wuji turned around and prepared to leave after handing over all the things to the Poison King. "It’s getting late, you should rest early, we still have to catch up tomorrow."</p>
"Oh, good ……" The Poison King hadn’t recovered from the surprise he had just experienced, and could only nod his head blankly.</p>
Jian Wuji arched his hand at him and turned to leave the room.</p>
The Poison King looked at the gloves and satin in his hands, his heart was full of mixed feelings. He wanted to say some words of thanks, but when the words came to his lips, he didn’t know how to speak.</p>
Just then, he suddenly noticed that something seemed to be embroidered on the back of the glove.</p>
He fixed his eyes and saw that one glove was embroidered with the words "Heavenly World", while the other glove was embroidered with the words "Only I am Poisonous"!</p>
The Poison King froze.</p>
Becoming a generation of Poison Dignitaries was his lifelong dream, but he had never mentioned it to anyone, not even the personal guards who had been following him.</p>
"This kid …… is really ……" The Poison King bitterly smiled and shook his head, his mouth said "really can not be defended ah". But out of the corner of his eye, but clearly show a trace of joy that is difficult to hide.</p>
In the dimly lit room, a stout man was reclining on a tai shi chair, holding a letter in his hand and reading it carefully by the faint candlelight.</p>
On the man’s chest, there was a vivid black viper tattooed. The snake was huge, its body extending all the way to the man’s neck, and its tail was wrapped around his neck, as if it would open its bloody mouth at any time and swallow him in one gulp.</p>
This man’s name was Woe Wabi, one of the four great masters under Yelu Han’s command. The reason why he chose a viper as his tattoo was because he was born with a pair of eyes as cold as a viper’s. Those eyes, cold, cruel, and emotionless, sent shivers down one’s spine. Coupled with that sinister and venomous aura emanating from his body, it made people feel that he was like a venomous snake waiting for an opportunity to strike, and could deliver a fatal blow at any time.</p>
"Ikuo is dead?" Wabi Wabi said in a flat tone as he looked at the letterhead in his hand.</p>
Standing in front of him was an old man wearing a green colored robe. The old man’s name was True Poison Jushi, and he was the assistant of Woeful Wabi. He originally wanted to dress up as an immortal and Taoist master of the world, but he was born with dark skin, and his face was covered with wrinkles, so he looked like a dried up tree bark, which had nothing to do with the words "immortal and Taoist".</p>
"How could this be?" True Poison Dweller’s face was filled with astonishment as he sniffed.</p>
"Supposedly killed by his double. That double rolled up all his possessions and escaped." Wabi Wabi explained in a calm tone, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.</p>
"He has always been cautious, how could he be victimized so easily?" True Poison Jushi said doubtfully. Chi Sheng was known for his prudence in the jianghu, so it was reasonable to say that he shouldn’t have died in such a low-level trap.</p>
"?" The organization has launched an investigation into the matter, and the results confirm that the murderer is indeed Ikemori’s double. Ikuo’s identity was special, and the news of his death would naturally attract the attention of the "?" organization. organization’s attention, and it was thought that they had already conducted a detailed investigation into the matter.</p>
True Poison Jushi pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke, "Perhaps, it makes sense."</p>
As soon as he said this, a playful smile appeared on Woeful Wabbit’s face.</p>
"He’s always been fond of pretending to be a god, disguising himself as a man of the world, but in my opinion, he’s nothing more than a coward who deceives the world. People like him are to blame for ending up like this." True Poison Jushi continued, a hint of undisguised mockery in his tone.</p>
"Instead, after his death, someone started singing his praises." Wabi Wabi said with a sneer.</p>
The True Poison Dweller sniffed.</p>
”I’m just trying to put in a good word for you, you don’t have to be so gloomy, do you?”</p>
Mourning Wabi’s character was shifty and ruthless, once someone offended him, their end was often miserable. This was something that True Poison Jushi had seen many times before. However, he did not want to grovel to Woeful Wabi because of this.</p>
"A person’s death is like the extinction of a lamp, it’s useless to say more, a pitiful person will have a hateful place." True Poison Jushi said with a leathery smile.</p>
Mourning Wabi didn’t say anything, but just threw the letterhead in his hand into the candle flame. The roaring flames instantly engulfed the letterhead and turned it into a wisp of green smoke that disappeared into the air.</p>
"The side effects of that thing, haven’t they been resolved yet?" When the letterhead had been completely burned to ashes, Wabi Wabi suddenly opened his mouth and asked.</p>
True Poison Dweller’s eyelids jumped slightly at his words. This guy was really a pot calling the kettle black, couldn’t he say something that would make people happy?</p>
"Still trying to figure it out." True Poison Jushi held back the anger in his heart and said indifferently.</p>
"Solve it as soon as possible. Something happened on the Demon Sect’s side a while ago, if the family members of those big shots from the Demon Sect or the Martial Arts Alliance were to get infected with this stuff as well, it would be troublesome." Mourning Wabi said in an icy tone.</p>
As a matter of fact, what Wabi Wabi was really worried about was not the Demon Sect or the Martial Alliance, but Yelu Han’s chastisement. In this world, the only person he was afraid of was Yelu Han.</p>
"I’ll fix it as soon as possible." True Poison Dweller assured.</p>
"How long will it take to settle?" Wabi Wabi pursued.</p>
"Give me half a year." True Poison Jushi had anticipated that Woeful Wabbit would ask this question, so he had thought of what to say in advance.</p>
"One month." Wabi Wabi interrupted without mercy.</p>
