Chapter 538: Chapter 34 Qi Poison

Xuan Shang, guessing that Xuanfeng had hidden an Image Stone, had an unsettled heart. On the other side, Xuanzhen continued, "Although there are undercurrents within the Sect, Sect Leader, Qian Kang’s decisive leadership had stabilized the wavering hearts of the people. But later on, things changed..."

First, a disciple of Sect Leader’s faction, Xuanming, became a traitor and sold out the Sect’s secrets. Xuan Chen, in an attempt to win people’s hearts, forcefully protected Chen Qinglin, who should have been executed.

After that, Chen Qinglin, persisting in his old ways, intended to collude with the Azure Dragon Association to assassinate Qingxu. In order to regain the prestige lost from two defeats, a plan to ambush Gong Ziyu began.

Then, Xuanming got held up, and Qingxu’s entire entourage died in the icy snowy wilderness.

The loss of an heir meant that everyone had the chance to vie for the position of the new heir, causing people’s hearts to grow even more restless.

And this time, Xuan Yun was seriously injured, giving some people the opportunity they were seeking.

Calling back Xuan Shang was the voice of those people.

Although Sect Leader Xuan Chen strongly opposed it, since Xuan Yun’s serious injury was a result of Xuan Chen’s attempt to deal with Shadow Pavilion, this caused Xuan Chen’s stance against the act of supplementing combat power to falter.

In the end, after numerous disputes and compromises, both sides agreed for the once neutral party, Xuanzhen, to bring Xuan Shang back to the Sect. That was also the purpose of Xuanzhen’s visit.

After listening to Xuanzhen’s explanation, Xuan Shang had a smile on his face that seemed both mocking and angry. From Qing Yu’s perspective, it should be more of mocking, I guess.

The current state of Zhenwu Sect is truly a mess. Even though the overall strength hasn’t suffered much, the signs of internal strife are already apparent.

"I wonder what Senior Brother Xuanfa would feel about this from beneath the Nine Springs?" Xuan Shang spoke coldly and suddenly disappeared into the woods.

"Daoist, let him be alone for a while," Qing Yu slowly approached and said softly.

Xuanzhen reined in his emotions and apologetically said to Qing Yu, "I’ve made a fool of myself in front of you."

"Every family has its own difficult scripture to read. Isn’t it the same with a Sect?" Qing Yu offered words of comfort.

"Yes, every family has its own difficult scripture to read..."

Xuanzhen looked up at the starless night sky, "We brothers and sisters, all orphaned from birth, were adopted by the Sect, grew up together from a young age—we may call each other Senior Brother or Senior Sister, but aren’t we just like biological siblings? It’s a pity that even within a family, troubles are inevitable, and brothers turn against each other..."

"In life, nothing lasts forever. Even the seemingly indomitable bonds of affection collapse silently with the passing of time. Time itself is the most heartless blade, cutting through life and emotions..." Qing Yu also rarely expressed such sentiment.

...

Under the night sky, a rustling sound echoed in the air.

From afar, a blood-red cloud drifted over and slowly descended to the ground.

Lin Qiuxuan retracted the Blood Soul Sand with a wave of his hand and looked at Lin Feng, whose body was quickly being overtaken by the dark red Fire Poison, and spoke coldly, "Relying on the Poison Soul Pill for cultivation, your foundation was already unstable, and choosing to absorb and refine the most violent Fire Poison first was truly courting disaster."

The "Poison Immortal Body" of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect is a Superior Absolute Skill. Although it imbues the body with toxicity and grants immunity to poison, it does not allow the physique to be completely eroded by poison, turning it into a poison body. Cultivators could still interact with people, get along with others, and even do certain things that should be censored.

The reason for this is because the fierce poisons absorbed also adhere to the principles of the monarch assisting the minister, and Yin Yang counteracting each other in pharmacology. Using poison to control poison, achieving a balance of toxicity, is the knowledge that must be known in the early stages of the "Poison Immortal Body."

Unless one reached a minor success, once the toxicity went out of control, there would be a threat to one’s life.

Like Lin Feng, he was now facing the consequence of toxicity backlash. If left unattended, in another half an hour, he would be almost certainly dead.

Lin Kan, that is, the martial artist of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect wielding the blade, said gravely, "Lin Feng’s loss of control isn’t due to insufficient self-control, causing the backlash of the Fire Poison. His poison skill backlash was the handiwork of the white-haired Daoist."

"Oh?"

Lin Qiuxuan crouched to examine Lin Feng’s wound closely, only to find that Lin Feng’s wound on his chest had already closed due to the effect of the "Poison Immortal Body," but dark green blood was still continuously flowing from it.

Lin Qiuxuan extended his hand to touch it and discovered that this dark green blood was not as dry and hot as Fire Poison should be, but instead carried a chill.

This was not normal.

The blood oozing out from a wound eroded by Fire Poison should be dark red and exude extreme heat. With the toxicity of the "Poison Immortal Body" at the True Pill Realm, this blood, tainted by Fire Poison, could scorch green grass upon contact, turning it yellow and even igniting it on the spot.

But now, there was not a trace of heat, instead, there was a hint of cold and a thread of...

"Death Qi, this is Corpse Poison," Lin Qiuxuan said in a deep voice. "When the white-haired Daoist’s sword pierced Lin Feng’s chest, Lin Feng immediately clamped down on the sword with the muscles controlled by his ’Poison Immortal Body’ and intended to counterattack. However, Lin Feng did not realize that his opponent was also a master of poison skill. As he held the sword edge, he inadvertently gave the opponent the opportunity to inject Corpse Poison.

Corpses Poison is of a Yin nature and counteracts Fire Poison. The two poisons clashing, given Lin Feng’s yet undeveloped ’Poison Immortal Body,’ he couldn’t control the consequences of the two poisons’ impacts."

"However..."

Lin Qiuxuan twisted the dark green blood between his fingers. Contacting the highly toxic blood barehanded was of no concern for Lin Qiuxuan, who had already achieved success with the "Poison Immortal Body." He even brought the blood to his nose and sniffed it.

"This Corpses Poison is somewhat off, I do not smell the stench of decay from it, and it lacks the components of Corpse Poison," murmured Lin Qiuxuan.

Normally, Corpse Poison, derived from corpses, has a strong stench of decay. Even if it was treated with fragrance, it could not deceive a master of the Poison Dao like Lin Qiuxuan.

Moreover, Lin Qiuxuan, although he had never crossed hands with that white-haired Daoist, was aware that the white-haired Daoist possessed the Daoist’s True Qi and did not display the chilliness and pallor that follows the absorption of Corpse Poison.

"And the Death Qi here is also too pure, not like the Corpse Poison produced by the decay of a corpse..."

As Lin Qiuxuan continued his investigation, he failed to notice that Lin Feng’s struggle was becoming weaker and weaker.

"Save Lin Feng first, save Lin Feng..." Lin Kan urgently reminded.

The backlash of toxicity in Lin Feng right now, if delayed any further, not even Lin Qiuxuan could bring him back.

"Alright, save him first," Lin Qiuxuan said helplessly, putting aside his curiosity about the Corpse Poison. He reached out to touch Lin Feng, channeling his robust True Qi, and gradually suppressed the toxicity.

However, as the toxicity was oppressed, the unknown Corpse Poison also gradually faded until it vanished into thin air.

"Could this possibly be..." Lin Qiuxuan’s eyes widened unconsciously, "Qi Poison."
