Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 322: Dragon Tiger Sword Pill

Views:

Zhao Changhe took the booklet and was stunned.

It would be fine if I secretly learned your secret skills and didn't care about them at all, but you are actually very upset that you didn't learn it well. Should I teach you a little more for this

Ye Wuzong regained his calm and composed demeanor as a senior, and said calmly, "In ancient times, gods and demons could take objects with a single thought, and that is the true way to use a storage ring. But now our thoughts are not enough to reach objects, so we have no choice but to use the method of capturing dragons and controlling cranes instead. In other words, things like capturing dragons and controlling cranes are not specifically used to take out rings, they are practical martial arts, so don't put the cart before the horse."

Zhao Changhe calmed down and bowed sincerely: "Thank you for your advice, senior... Then is there any dragon-catching skill..."

Ye Wuzong: “?”

Xia Chichi turned his head away.

Ye Wuzong looked at Zhao Changhe curiously for a while, and suddenly laughed out loud: "This shamelessness is indeed comparable to Sisi's."

Xia Chichi turned his head away again, and this time his pretending to be ignorant expression finally failed to hold and began to become stern.

Zhao Changhe caught a glimpse of this and broke out in a cold sweat: "Senior..."

I just want to learn a technique, you want me to die...

Ye Wuzong said: "The Dragon Capture Skill is domineering, and the Crane Control Skill is exquisite. Do you think we use the Dragon Capture Skill or the Crane Control Skill? In fact, to put it bluntly, they are both means to teach you how to remotely control objects. When you have mastered the method and use it according to your own understanding, what difference does it make whether it is Dragon Capture Skill or Crane Control Skill..."

Zhao Changhe understood and bowed again: "Thank you, senior."

"Don't thank me, it's just an ordinary trick, not a big deal." Ye Wuzong said, "Stealing is my way. No matter if it's someone else or me, it's all my way. There's nothing to be angry about. But if you use my way in a distorted way, that's unbearable."

Zhao Changhe: “…”

Ye Wuzong glanced at him and said, "Okay, I'm not teaching you this for free. Can you do something for me?"

Zhao Changhe hurriedly said, "Senior, please speak."

"Sisi stole the core skills of my Dao Sect... If the secrets are out there, it's not a matter of stealing and being my way, but it's easy for people to study and target our Dao Sect martial arts, which will be very disadvantageous. From what you showed, it can be seen that she only gave you a disguise method and didn't leak your skills. She is sensible, so there is no unsolvable grudge. If you see Sisi in the future, tell her to return the secrets, I won't blame her. If you delay any longer, I will really go out and cause trouble for her."

Zhao Changhe secretly thought that this person's demeanor was truly extraordinary. Not many people could remain so calm even when their secret book was stolen. He was truly a master.

It is said that Sisi was not just a foreigner, but a person from another world. Her emotions and logic were different from those of ordinary people. When she first came to this world, she might have looked more like an NPC than Xia Longyuan, but after a period of experience, I don’t know if her thinking would change a bit...

Thinking back to when Ji Chengkong said those words, Sisi's expression was obviously a little absent-minded.

Non-vegetation.

"If I have a chance to meet her, I will definitely convey it to you..." Zhao Changhe finally said, "In fact, she should know. Brother Ji said something similar before, and she heard it. I think she should be touched. But she has other important things to do... You can give her some more time."

Ye Wuzong said calmly: "What do you mean by this... guarantee for her?"

Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment.

Ye Wuzong's eyes became sharp: "Yes and no?"

Zhao Changhe could only say: "I can't guarantee it, and I can't even be sure whether I can see her. But since I have inherited the crane-controlling skill from the senior, I will definitely take this matter to heart and treat it as if my sect's secret manual has been stolen."

Ye Wuzong smiled but did not continue the topic. He walked towards the alchemy furnace with the poisonous spider in his hand.

As a thief king who is famous for stealing, even though the treasure was in front of him, he did not regard it as his top priority just like Zhao Changhe. He talked for a long time before taking a look at it.

When "stealing" becomes a "Tao", what is pursued is no longer the treasure, but the act itself.

"A stove that is left there for people to take is boring and has no place to steal." Ye Wuzong looked at it for a while and said calmly, "You said that I will not be able to leave this place after taking away the things in the stove. You underestimated me. I am just a little curious about what is inside. If it doesn't suit my interest, I don't necessarily have to take it."

Zhao Changhe said: "It is probably related to poison. The seniors' thieves' skills still use poison, so I have no need for it."

“That may not be the case.” Ye Wuzong stretched out his hand and pressed the poisonous spider’s shoulder. The unconscious poisonous spider slowly woke up and spoke: “Senior Thief Saint, it was Tian Lingzi who betrayed you. It has nothing to do with me, nothing to do with me…”

Ye Wuzong said: "It doesn't matter whether it is related or not, I just want you to unlock this furnace."

"If you can unlock the alchemy furnace, will you not kill me?"

"If you bargain again, you'll die now. If you solve it, maybe I'll be in a better mood and there'll be a glimmer of hope. It's your choice."

The poisonous spider decisively shut his mouth, and with difficulty took out several bottles of poison from his arms, and sprinkled them carefully and evenly around the outer wall of the furnace. As the poison was sprinkled, the furnace's brilliance became more obvious, as if the integral furnace cover finally felt a little loose.

Zhao Changhe's previous judgment was correct. The process of slowly and evenly spreading the poison would take nearly half an hour. She really couldn't do it before the poisonous fog dissipated.

This is the first time I have seen a method that uses poison as a prohibition. The ones I have seen before are either blood or formations. I have seen too few of the various systems...

Ye Wuzong said, "It seems that what you took away was nothing else but the "Hundred Herbs Poison Sutra". After reading it and learning the poison techniques and special methods of using poison as a taboo, you threw the Poison Sutra back, pretending that you didn't lose anything." Poison Spider smiled and said, "I can't hide it from you, senior... The poison techniques here are extensive and profound. I only learned the targeted parts urgently, and I plan to continue to study them in the future... Oh, of course, it's yours now..."

Ye Wuzong did not comment and continued to let her start the furnace.

I don't know how long it took, until I had wiped the stove thoroughly without missing a single spot. Finally, I heard a slight "click" and the stove cover finally separated from the stove body, revealing a tiny gap.

The poisonous spider smiled and said, "Senior, it's done..."

Ye Wuzong was unmoved: "Unveil it."

The poisonous spider stood up and tried to open the lid. The moment the lid was opened, white light rushed out. The poisonous spider didn't even have time to react. Half of its body was washed away, and only the lower half remained, falling beside the stove.

Zhao Changhe took a deep breath. It was really fucking weird. Even at this time, there was still a conspiracy. This alchemist was definitely not a good person. He was born in the same vein as this evil place. It was so bad since the last era.

Ye Wuzong, however, acted as if it was natural. He didn't even look at the tragically dead poisonous spider, but stared fixedly at the top of the alchemy furnace.

As the white light faded, a blue and white pill automatically floated up and hung at the mouth of the furnace.

Obviously the alchemist is a poisonous person, the ground is filled with poisonous gas, and the place is restricted by poisonous substances, but the pills he refines do not feel poisonous at all. Instead, they have a soft glow and a fragrant breath. There is even a vague feeling of intangible enlightenment, like the feeling in the Xuanwu Secret Realm, which is connected to the Tao.

The blue and white colors could now be seen in detail, and it turned out to be the shape of a blue dragon and a white tiger embracing each other!

Xia Chichi widened his eyes.

I thought I had accomplished what I wanted to do, and that I had gone out to capture Yang Qianyuan, and that my trip to Kunlun would be complete. The rest was just to accompany my lover... Why did I suddenly feel that it was somehow related to me...

Ye Wuzong and Zhao Changhe also turned to look at her at the same time, both of them had strange expressions.

Obviously, no one expected it to be so consistent with her attributes.

Zhao Changhe almost wanted to put the poisonous spider back together and ask her if she knew what was going on...

Ye Wuzong pondered for a moment, then bent down to pick up the black jade token and the "Hundred Herbs Poison Sutra" that Tian Lingzi had scattered on the ground. He flipped through the Poison Sutra and read it for a while, then suddenly laughed: "It has nothing to do with the Four Symbols Sect, but it can be said that all things have different paths to the same end."

Xia Chichi hurriedly said: "Senior, please give me some advice."

"Everything in the world can be classified into the four images and five elements. The image of the Azure Dragon alone encompasses a lot, including medicine and poison. This person has practiced poison to the extreme, and it has taken on the form of the Azure Dragon. His poison has reached the pinnacle."

Xia Chichi understood what he meant. The Qinglong branch of the Four Symbols Sect also practices medicine and poisons. Zhuque is also very confident in the elixirs of the Four Symbols Sect. The skill of disguising oneself as a man that she inherited from her mother also falls into this category.

But how can I put it? The Four Symbols Sect is still a sect with a small number of members, which was suppressed by the imperial court and developed secretly. The inheritance is not complete, for example, the law of rejuvenation is missing. This means that they can't study too widely and can only focus on martial arts. Although they have other dabbles, they are relatively ordinary. Xia Chichi didn't get involved in these aspects, and specialized in swords. The elders below were a little interested in division of labor, but their expertise was limited.

The Azure Dragon sect of the Four Symbols Sect, which believes in Azure Dragon, is not very good at studying poisons, but other poison practitioners who have nothing to do with Azure Dragon have actually developed the Azure Dragon Dharma Image...

Zhao Changhe asked on behalf of Xia Chichi: "Then what is this White Tiger Dharma Image..."

"This is not an elixir, nor is it the imagined dragon-tiger golden elixir, but a sword pill..." Ye Wuzong shook the poison scripture and laughed, "This person doesn't know how to refine a sword pill at all. He used the idea of refining an elixir and poison as a guide to create a new way. So when the dragon and the tiger meet, the dragon is the poison and the tiger is the sword."

Xia Chichi really admired him: "He found a new way and both of them became Dharma images. This senior must have been very famous in ancient times."

"He's not that amazing... He'll be amazing once he subdues Jian Wan."

"Subdue?"

"That's right." Ye Wuzong said, "If I'm not mistaken, the cause of his death was that when the sword ball was formed, he couldn't control the overflowing sword energy and killed himself."

Xia Chichi: “…”

"But the sword pill killed him, which meant it sharpened its edge and could be used now. This person was not dead yet, so he sealed the sword pill and tried to use it in the future, but he couldn't hold on after sealing it and died... This is the cause of the scene in this room." Ye Wuzong's face was full of satisfaction as if he had solved a mystery: "The invisible poison in the room was emitted when the furnace was opened, that's all, so it slowly disappeared after a certain amount was consumed."

Zhao Changhe added: "But the sword pill has been completed after all. It is a divine treasure. When the era collapses, the treasure will have its own special power to protect this space from being independent of Kunlun. That's it."

Ye Wuzong clapped his hands and smiled, "Yes, it must be so."

Xia Chichi looked at the two guys with a strange expression. He knew that this was a divine treasure. The two of them actually enjoyed solving puzzles and were having a great time chatting.

You guys are together...

Just as she was thinking this, she saw Ye Wuzong turned his head and looked at her. His smile gradually disappeared, and there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes: "Saint, are you interested in this item?"
