Chapter 16: One Hundred Years of Professional Stealing
“Old Monster Shenxian, you still have a solution.” Hou Tonghai gave a thumbs up and praised him repeatedly.
Sha Tongtian glanced at Ouyang Ke, whose facial features were distorted by pain, and shuddered. He, Hou Tonghai, and the old monster Shenxian were the only three among the Sixth Prince's masters who had not been poisoned by poison.
To be honest, the pain caused by loss of control of internal energy is secondary, and the result of Sanqigong is the most unacceptable.
Those who are brave and fierce in martial arts have few enemies. Once they lose their martial arts skills, the consequences will be disastrous.
"As long as we get the secret antidote, the man named Chu will be like a tiger with his teeth pulled out. We no longer need to be afraid of him."
These words made Master Lingzhi and Peng Lianhu nod their heads.
Wanyan Honglie also had a smile on his face and praised the wit of the old weirdo.
The two people on the roof were also discussing the matter in low voices.
“Rong’er, should we remind Brother Chu?”
"Brother Jing, this person has evil intentions. Let's leave him alone and let them bite the bullet. Wouldn't it be nice?"
"Rong'er, why do you always think the worst about people? You didn't listen to them?" Tell me? There are conditions for Brother Chu to help Wanyan Honglie find Wu Mu’s suicide note. Do you think it’s for Aunt Wang?”
“Brother Jing!”
Huang Rong scolded. She glared at him: "Look at the bet he made with Ouyang Ke. How can he be so kind?"
"If you don't go, I will go by myself."
Guo Jing had made up his mind and simply ignored Huang Rong. He slowly stepped down from the eaves and fell into the alley behind. When he looked up, he saw that there were no stars and moon. There were many porches and houses in front of him. He didn't know where to go.
......
Chu Pingsheng didn't know that Guo Jing and Huang Rong came to Zhao Wang's Mansion to look for him in vain, and he didn't know that his bet with Ouyang Ke had offended the daughter of Peach Blossom Island.
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
I was originally a demon cultivator, but I pretended to be a good person and came to Prince Zhao's Mansion to cause trouble just for the benefit.
"Mr. Chu, all the idlers have been kicked out. You can get your medicine."
The servant's reminder woke him up. When he looked up, he found that all the clerks in the pharmacy had been kicked out.
"Got it."
The servant turned around and left, closing the door behind him.
Chu Pingsheng endured the strong smell of medicinal materials and looked at the small grids in front of him one by one.
Panax notoginseng, angelica root, blood root, snake gall, tiger bone, cloves, golden bell seeds...
He said that he is good at using medicine, but in fact he can only cure one disease. Speaking of it, it is really...immediate, one day. He will recover.
Rhubarb? Give Ouyang Ke more.
Senna? Will eating too much of this cause diarrhea? Have some.
Coptis? Have some too.
Ginseng? Ganoderma lucidum? He doesn't deserve it!
Cistanche deserticola? This is good, this is good, this is good for me.
......
Chu Pingsheng went through a lot of fussing in the pharmacy, taking medicines according to his mood, likes and dislikes, and made a big bag full of them.
After that, he walked to the back of the room and looked at the wooden jar in the middle. He thought that if Wang Chuyi was not poisoned, Guo Jing and Huang Rong would have no reason to come to the palace to steal medicine. It's up to you to accept the snake that has been around for twenty years.
Snap.
The lid was opened, and before the viper inside could crawl out, Chu Pingsheng reached out to catch it.
Unexpectedly, the snake reacted very quickly, swung its body to the side, opened its mouth and bit his wrist, twisted its body and wrapped around him.
If it were an ordinary person, he would be dead after just one mouthful.
Chu Pingsheng naturally does not have so many worries. As long as the poison is not put into the body, he can do whatever he wants outside.
He pulled out his arm, held his breath, and bit down on the seven inches of the python.
The snake was in pain, so he put more force on his mouth and wrapped himself tighter and tighter. He also became violent and continued to suck the snake's blood.
It smells earthy and has a strong smell of Chinese medicine.
If I hadn’t been mentally prepared, I would have felt nauseous and vomited at the first bite. However, as expected, the old ginseng fairy had fed my baby with tonic for twenty years. The snake blood entered his belly, and his belly soon rose. A stream of heat spreads throughout the body along the meridians.
Although he didn't feel hot after drinking the snake blood like Guo Jing, he was still a little uncomfortable.
The place where the heat is strongest, three thirds below the navel, should be the Dantian. It's a pity that he doesn't know the internal strength. After sucking the blood of snakes, he has acquired the internal strength equivalent to that of ordinary people who have studied hard for more than ten years, but he can only let them run around in the body without being able to use them.
But it doesn’t matter, let’s get the benefits first.
In fact, he had been thinking about snake blood as early as when he said goodbye to Yang Tiexin and his daughter.
Old Monster Shenxian took a fancy to his "secret recipe", and he took a fancy to Old Monster Shenxian's family background.
The current level of the [Mahayana Bliss Heavenly Demonic Body] is still low, and the number of Seven Jue Shadowless Evils it can accommodate is limited. Take yesterday's arena battle as an example. If Yang Kang, Wang Chuyi, Master Lingzhi, and Peng Lianhu are paralyzed, it will be empty. After resting for a whole day, I was able to accumulate enough energy to use it on Ouyang Ke.
One of the factors used to evaluate skill points after the completion of the main mission is internal strength. In other words, internal strength has a strengthening effect on the [Mahayana Bliss Heavenly Demonic Body]. If it can increase the capacity of Qijue Wuyingsha, or Wouldn't it be nice to increase the speed of absorbing extremely yin energy?
There is also Mei Chaofeng in Prince Zhao's Mansion. As long as she can make good use of her obsession with Peach Blossom Island, the Nine Yin Manual can be successfully completed.
Then there is the matter of Wu Mu’s suicide note. Wanyan Honglie thought he was looking for the leader of the Iron Palm Gang to learn skills. In fact, the drunkard’s intention was not to drink. He asked them to go to Lin’an Palace to toss and copy the Iron Palm Gang’s posters. On the way, Wu Mu’s suicide note was in hand, and it was so interesting to see these people fighting over the empty box under Cuihan Hall.
As for Bao Xiruo, once she has mastered Qinggong, will it be difficult to rescue her?
The above was his purpose of bidding farewell to Yang Tiexin and his daughter and fighting back.
……
After a stick of incense.
The viper made no movement and fell softly to the ground.
Chu Pingsheng licked the blood at the corner of his mouth, smacked his tongue, and inhaled until the earthy smell and Chinese medicinal smell disappeared, and the salty taste came back.
"Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu, are you okay yet?"
At this time, a servant's call came from the yard.
“Scream, what’s the name? I’ll grab the wrong medicine and poison Ouyang Ke again.”
Chu Pingsheng cursed and stuffed the dead python into the jar, then picked up the one he put aside. I was about to get up and leave the medicine bag when I suddenly remembered a malicious thought. I couldn't help but smile evilly. I found a jar of honey, added some ingredients to it, and poured a bag of coffee and half a pinch of salt into it. Open the door and walk out of the pharmacy.
“Go, grind the medicine inside into powder, mix it with the decoction in the jar into honey pills and give it to Ouyang Ke.”
"Yes."
The servant in the pharmacy felt like he had found a treasure and took it with both hands.
"Let's go back to Fushou Hall."
Chu Pingsheng clapped his hands, left the pharmacy and walked in the direction of Fushou Hall.
Not long after he left, Liang Ziwen walked into the yard from the back door. Just as he was about to order someone to take stock of the medicines, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something in the servant's hand: "What do you have in your hand?"
"Master Chu asked the medicinal materials to be ground into powder, mixed with decoction to make honey pills, and given to Master Ouyang for detoxification."
Liang Ziweng was stunned for a moment, he thought Chu Pingsheng would do the whole process himself and forbid servants to do it. Participate.
The result... was much simpler than he imagined.
“Bring it to me and see.”
The servant quickly handed the thing over.
Liang Ziwen walked into the pharmacy with the medicine bag and jar.
He was so focused on the antidote that he didn't notice that his home had been robbed.
Open the medicine bag and pull out the medicinal materials inside with your hands.
Senna, coptis, angelica, rhubarb...
No, these medicinal properties are cold and have diarrhea and heat. If they are added together, won’t they make things worse?
It seems that this decoction is going to be used to neutralize it.
Liang Ziweng opened the lid of the honeypot and took a sniff.
What does it smell like?
He stretched out his finger and dipped a little. It was warm, and then put it into his mouth to taste it.
A little sweet, a little bitter, a little salty, and a little smelly.
It tastes pretty good.
But I didn’t taste what was used.
Could it be that...this is Chu Pingsheng’s unique secret recipe?
