CHAPTER XXIV

"Women?"

Hearing the man's words, Master Chu looked at the fiery red lotus flower in the pond in amazement, thoughtful.

"It's a woman, but I haven't seen it, I've only heard of it, and they say they saw it at night, and I wonder if they were dazzled. ”

"At night?"

"I don't think you're like the local, so I advise you to ask less and stay away from this pond. ”

The man glanced at Master Chu, didn't say anything more, and walked out of the forest with a word of persuasion.

"Let's go. ”

Watching the man leave, Master Chu's expression was gloomy, and Qi Ling just wanted to step forward to ask, only to see Master Chu raise his palm to stop Qi Ling from speaking, speak in a low voice, and then turn around and walk out of the forest.

The two returned to the lively street market, and Master Chu was silent all the way, and Qi Ling didn't dare to ask, so they wandered around without purpose.

"Your next practice begins with picking a lotus petal from a pond in the smoke forest. ”

"Petals?"

"The lotus I asked you to pick is called Candle Lotus, but all the lotus flowers in the pool are candle lotuses, and the cultivation I let you pick is the highest one, but with your current strength, it is very difficult to pick it, you better cultivate the basic nature first and then complete my task, I won't help you at all." ”

Master Chu stopped suddenly, turned his head and told Qi Ling the purpose of going to the Smoke Forest just now, and his words were contemptuous.

Candle lotus.

It is a kind of color with dark red as the base, the flower body is light purple lotus, there is a fire entanglement around the body, the growth habit is very different from the ordinary lotus, the whole flower is much larger than the ordinary lotus, and the four seasons are always open, the biggest difference is that the candle lotus is in a range of growth is the flower owner, with the flower owner as the center to supply some of the nutrients and aura obtained by themselves to the flower owner, the flower owner will screen and filter the obtained things, and transmit the benefits back to the flowers, forming a cycle.

This cycle also allows the flower owner to have a high status in the range, so that the lotus flowers bow down to the ta, protect the ta, and the strength of the entire wreath should not be underestimated.

The bewitching beauty of the candle lotus is also very effective, such as repelling cold, suppurating, and recovering the body after major injuries, etc., but even so, not many doctors dare to pick it, the first is the blazing heat, and the second is the strength of the wreath, which is really bothersome.

"I'll do my best, Master, but how should I cultivate?"

Listening to the task given by Master Chu, Qi Ling nodded understandingly, but he learned aura for the first time, and he didn't know the basics very well, so he asked.

"To be honest, I don't really understand how to teach poisonous people to cultivate, but don't worry, I have a way, don't worry. Master Chu replied honestly, and promised Qi Ling a word, and then led Qi Ling out of the smoke forest.

Poisonous cultivation methods are indeed different from ordinary cultivation methods, ordinary cultivation methods are Gathering Spirits, Condensing Spirits, Filling Spirits and Adding Pills and Plants or Demon Beasts to assist, while poisonous cultivation has one more step than ordinary ones, that is, refining poison.

Refining poison is to make one's own toxicity increase with strength, but toxicity and poisonous aura are two substances, what is cultivated is qi, and what is increased is also qi, and the concentration of poison remains the same, so Qi Ling, who teaches poison nature, Chu Shi really doesn't know what to do.

...

"Master, where are we going?" Master Chu didn't say where he was going, but just walked slowly on the street with Qi Ling, and Qi Ling was a little puzzled.

"Let's go find the poison refiner. ”

"Poison refiner?"

Master Chu turned around and smiled weirdly, and Qi Ling was confused.

"Poison refiners have been cultivating poison all their lives, although they don't practice with me, but it's still okay to guide you and make your aura go to the next level. ”

Chu Shi said slowly, his tone revealing confidence.

"In this way, it makes a lot of sense, but Master, where can I find such a person?"

It's quite good to listen to Master Chu's introduction, but if you want to learn, you must first be taught, Qi Ling wondered where the poison refiner went.

"There will always be some people in every place who secretly refine poisons, and there must be one in Smoke City, but the chance of finding them is very small. ”

"They... Do you practice in seclusion?"

"It can't be regarded as a seclusion, it's just that I'm afraid that my tracks will be exposed and I will lose my life. ”

Master Chu had already figured out everything in Smoke City, and although he didn't know the specific location of the poison refiner, he could judge whether it existed in the city, and his face was full of sarcastic smiles.

"They're in... Are you afraid of the Black Emperor Sect?"

"How do you know?"

"Last time, Master, you said that the Black Emperor Sect has a superb poison method, crushing the heroes, and the poison refining person is related to poison, I guess it should also be a bit related. ”

Qi Ling suddenly guessed the relationship between the Black Emperor Sect and the poison refiners, which made the corners of Chu Shi's mouth stunned, Qi Ling's analytical ability was still quite strong, which made Chu Shi very relieved in his heart.

The Black Emperor Sect is born with poison as cultivation, that is, to suppress the masters of cultivation of all natures, so as to improve its own deterrence and ruling ability, and those who are not poisonous refiners for their own power are the most hostile to the Black Emperor Sect, for fear of being stronger than themselves and posing a threat to themselves, after all, there are people outside the people, it is difficult to predict.

Entering the Black Emperor Sect is something that most drug refiners dream of, but the Black Emperor Sect has taken refuge in the Seven Sects, and those righteous drug refiners have abandoned their dreams, but it has given those drug refiners who want to take advantage of them the motivation to squeeze into the Black Emperor Sect one by one, making its power expand wildly, and even the Ancient God Pavilion has three points of fear.

Because of the poison, it's really terrifying...

"Heh, the analysis is quite in place, so you have to be patient to find, don't worry, you will find it soon, but there are many more people who know this place than me, so it's better to ask an old friend, it's convenient." ”

Chu Shi sneered, quickened his pace, walked away for a while, and turned into a restaurant called "Smoke Restaurant".

Entering the restaurant, the two sat down first, observed the flow of customers, and after Chu Shi saw that the flow of customers was gradually thinning, Chu Shi called Xiao Er, communicated with Xiao Er in a whisper, and asked Xiao Er to call the shopkeeper.

Soon after, Xiao Er brought out a man in a golden robe from behind the curtain at the back of the restaurant, the man was slightly chubby, and his face was full of blessings, and he knew that he was a rich man at a glance.

"Yo, it's Gongzi Chu, it's been a long time, come on, come on, what are you doing in a daze?"

"Oh, no need, shopkeeper, I just want to ask you about something. ”

When the golden-robed man saw Master Chu, he recognized it at a glance, and wanted to entertain Master Chu with a smile, but Master Chu hurriedly refused.

The golden-robed man's store is not big, but the customer flow is only increasing every day, the reason is that the restaurant dishes are well cooked, which also means that there are many and wide people, plus the shopkeeper is a warm and upright person, and the popularity is like a spider web, vast and dense, and the big and small things are also known.

"What does Childe want to inquire?"

Seeing that Master Chu had something, the shopkeeper showed a kind smile and responded in a low voice.

Chu Shi stood up and pulled the shopkeeper to the curtain at the back.

"Is there anything in the city... Poison refiner?"

"What... Why do you ask this?"

Chu Shi swallowed his saliva, a little hesitant, when the words came out, the shopkeeper's face was faintly cold sweat, and his panicked eyes looked at the laughing crowd in front of him, and hurriedly pulled Chu Shi into the curtain and asked again.

“... My aura's aura is poisonous, and I can't teach it, so I asked. ”

"Then drive your apprentice out of the door and stop teaching. ”

"How can this be reasonable, how can you say that you can rush?"

"If you ask this question, the consequences should be clearer than me, don't ask, let's go. ”

"Big shopkeeper, enjoy a face, enjoy a face. ”

The shopkeeper looked at Master Chu with a sullen face and asked him to leave a way to live for himself, but Master Chu still chattered, and finally took out a small piece of gold from his pocket, looked at the shopkeeper with raised eyebrows, and bribed him with money.

“... This... Alas, don't tell anyone that I told you. ”

"Okay, shopkeeper. ”

“... I've only heard from people that in the west of the city, in the reeds at the end of the street, there is dark smoke wafting out from time to time, and I guess it's probably the person you're looking for. ”

"Okay, thank you shopkeeper. ”

"No need Chu Gongzi, just be careful. ”

The shopkeeper observed the previous moves, and whispered in Chu Shi's ear, and the face of Chu Shi, who went out, was full of joy and put the gold in the hands of the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper was not bribed by Chu Shi, and he opened the curtain and walked into the hall with a sound of advice.

Seeing the situation, Master Chu didn't chase it anymore, and sneered, the deterrent power of this Black Emperor Sect is everywhere.

“.... Master, did you ask about it?"

"Of course, I'll visit tomorrow. ”

Seeing Master Chu come out with a smile, Qi Ling became the governor, and Master Chu didn't say anything, and quickly took Qi Ling out of the restaurant to stay at the inn next to him and talk about it in detail, so as not to have a side ear.

...

On the second day, the sun was still in the fog and had not risen, so Chu Shi took Qi Ling to this mentioned place, and picked this point to take advantage of the lack of sight to watch, so as to be less dangerous.

The two of them came out of the inn and sprinted away, half a pillar of incense time to the reeds in the west of the city, the reeds here are tall and dense, not to mention walking, even the direction is difficult to distinguish, you can find someone in this place, this person's eyesight is really powerful, but I have to say that the brain of the poison refiner is quite bright, choose this place to refine.

"There's a thatched hut!"

Chu Shi and Qi Ling rubbed for a long time, and Chu Shi suddenly whispered, pointing to the thatched house not far in front of him, showing joy.

After the two looked at each other, they walked briskly, wanting to confirm if there were any poison refiners living here.

It was Master Chu who led the way, but now it has become Qi Ling in front, because the poison refiner itself is sensitive, if it is discovered, it will definitely launch some attacks, and it is better to let the person who can poison stand in front of him.

When the two approached, they saw that there were many black canisters sealed next to the thatched hut, and before they opened it, they could faintly see black smoke rising out, which was probably the container where the poison was stored.

“... Is there anyone, is the senior of poison refining here?" Qi Ling and the others slowly approached the thatched house, Qi Ling asked softly left and right, but no one responded.

Woohoo!

Approaching the door of the thatched hut, he suddenly saw the black gas rising in the house, and then a black shadow saw Qi Ling rushing towards him.

Knock knock!

Qi Ling moved when he heard the sound, turned sideways to dodge, the black shadow trick failed, and the black poisonous gas released with both hands and slashed towards Qi Ling again, Qi Ling was not afraid, and the dark jade-colored poisonous gas was released, and all of them received the former's wind-like attack.

The two sides retreated, Qi Ling could feel that this person's strength was much higher than his own strength, the poison was a spider, which was too inferior to the poison of the Eight Desolation Scorpions, but due to the suppression of strength, Qi Ling was inferior, and was attached to his clothes and flesh by the former's poisonous gas, which hurt a little.

Although he was injured, this could already prove that this person was the poison refiner that Master Chu and the two were looking for, and after judging, Qi Ling also nodded to Master Chu and signaled his identity.

Seeing the signal of Qi Ling and Chu Shi nodding, the face under the brim of the poison refiner's hat was frightened and fierce, and he launched an offensive again.

Woohoo!

Boom!

He gathered a lot of dim black aura in the palm of his hand, and finally poured all of them into the pitch-black jar beside him, and in an instant, the sound of breaking was crisp, and a group of spiders with red eyes shook their bodies and crawled densely towards Qi Ling and the two.

"Oh no, go to the sword!"

Seeing the momentum of this poison, Master Chu was so frightened that his body trembled, summoned his long sword, and called Qi Ling to dodge with his sword.

Click!

Seeing this, Qi Ling didn't dare to touch it recklessly, and chose to retreat and dodge, but the Eight Desolation Scorpions in the Linghai didn't mean to retreat when they saw it, and after struggling in the Linghai, with Qi Ling's consent, they came out to the ground with a big claw.

"Eight Desolate Scorpions?!"
