Chapter 657: Mixed Yuan Bonus, Attributes Surge! (Seeking Monthly Votes and Subscriptions)_1
“Did you find it?”
At the entrance of the alley, two mysterious figures t.
The speaker was a burly man, appearing to be in his late twenties, with a sullen and fierce look on his dark face.
The other, wearing a mask, was casually wiping the bloodstains from his fingertips with a handkerchief, “It’s been taken care of.”
“Next ti we need to find a more secluded place.” the dark-faced young man sighed in relief, but still frowned.
The masked man scoffed, “It was you who contacted abruptly. Wait for my ssage next ti, don’t rashly contact .”
“What happened?” the dark-faced young man sensed sothing was amiss.
“The person just now was from the Sima family, and they will surely beco suspicious,” the masked man said impatiently, “An unexpected issue occurred with this matter, and you must pay more.”
“Isn’t three hundred gold enough? That’s enough for you to live without worries!” the dark-faced young man replied unhappily.
The masked man scoffed, “Then go find soone else to do it.”
He turned to leave.
The dark-faced young man reached out to stop him but was pushed back by the masked man with a palm strike.
His expression changed slightly, but he smiled and said, “Don’t be so angry. We have worked together more than once or twice. I’m just carrying out soone else’s orders. If you want more money, I’ll have to run it by my superiors to see if it’s possible. Of course, as long as you’re not asking for too much, they’re likely to agree.”
“Add another fifty Red Blood Carps, that’s my condition,” the masked man stated coldly.
The dark-faced young man fell silent for a mont, then nodded, “I’ll put in a word for you.”
The masked man grunted a simple acknowledgnt and turned to leave.
The dark-faced young man watched his retreating figure silently, then touched the hilt of his knife and a cold smile erged on his lips. He turned and slipped into the shadows, vanishing quietly.
…
At a certain courtyard window of the Sima family,
A pale-white bird was angrily pecking at the Bluebird, almost causing it a concussion.
Pei Jinye couldn’t help smirking at the scene, “Serves you right. It’s one thing to flirt with a girl, but to bring her ho…”
The Bluebird fled with its head in its wings.
The pale-white bird pursued and continued pecking.
Pei Jinye shook his head, amused, and decided not to intervene with the two little ones.
He closed the window.
After sealing the environnt,
He placed the wooden box he was holding on the table.
He returned slightly later than usual because he spent so ti specifically collecting the poisons needed for the Five Poison Heart Scripture.
Without any delay, he began his cultivation practice.
Ah Qing, that woman, had co close to death several tis while practicing this Five Poison Heart Sutra.
So it took her twenty years to reach only the third poison level of the practice.
Each poison could have potentially claid her life.
But Pei Jinye was different; he possessed the Extraordinary Ability of Flesh Rebirth, which allowed him to recover quickly even if poisoned.
Therefore, there was no need for him to delay as long as that woman.
As the toxins entered his body,
Pei Jinye felt a tearing sensation in his abdon, and without any hesitation, he started to circulate the Five Poison Heart Scripture.
Proficiency was instantly maximized.
All he needed to do was guide the energy generated in his Dantian, transforming the toxins into strength, bolstering his physique.
But what he hadn’t anticipated was that at this mont, the Mixed Yuan Twelve Lotuses began to operate on its own, accelerating the circulation speed of the Five Poison Heart Scripture.
The energy produced in his Dantian also started to feel different.
If the energy that the woman had produced was just an ordinary wisp, then the energy Pei Jinye was condensing in his Dantian now shimred with a golden hue.
Though his Vitality began to show signs of deficit, his Physical Strength surged by twenty points.
“It really works… it’s just that the toxins are too few, I need more.”
Pei Jinye attempted to circulate the Twelve Lotus of Hunyuan.
He confird that this ntal thod could accommodate the Five Poison Heart Sutra, achieving a synergistic effect where one plus one was greater than two.
This realization suddenly filled Pei Jinye with anticipation.
Could it be that in the future, cultivating other techniques of this world would also yield such extraordinary effects?
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
Pei Jinye didn’t pay attention.
He wasn’t that curious about the outside world.
However, he had to make an appearance when Sima Yingjun ca looking for him.
“What’s the matter?”
Sima Yingjun was startled upon hearing those words.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but just as Pei Jinye spoke, he felt a chill spread through his body for a mont.
Especially the itch on the back of his hand.
He scratched it, and the feeling dissipated.
Regaining his composure, he said, “There has been an incident. I just got confirmation from several masters, one of our Sima family’s consultants was killed.”
Pei Jinye showed little change of expression, answering succinctly, “Who needs to be killed? Just give the list.”
“Ah… this,” Sima Yingjun opened his mouth.
Confronted with the directness of Chief Pei from his own family, he was sowhat at a loss.
He smiled awkwardly, “No, just thought I’d tell you, Master Pei. My sister said, given that our family has been targeted recently, everyone must be careful.”
“I know, anything else?”
“Probably… that’s it.”
“Then I’ll go back to my training. Call when it’s ti to kill.”
Sima Yingjun opened his mouth and stuttered, “Alright… Master Pei, take care.”
He watched as Pei Jinye entered the door, closed it, and left.
Sima Yingjun smacked himself on the forehead with a “snap”, “Besides, what am I worrying about, Master Pei is such a powerful hero, who could harm him.”
By the ti Sima Yingjun returned to the main hall, Sima Manli was talking to Qian the shopkeeper. Lifting her head, she asked, “Did you go to Master Pei’s place?”
“Yes,” Sima Yingjun nodded subconsciously, then before he could say anything else, Sima Manli was the first to speak, “What did Master Pei say about this?”
“He…,” Sima Yingjun paused, uncertain of how to phrase it.
But under the watchful eyes of Sima Manli and Qian the shopkeeper, he still managed an awkward laugh and diplomatically said, “Master Pei was quite calm, saying just to let him know when he’s needed.”
Sima Manli nodded, “Master Pei is a straightforward person.”
“Sister, who exactly is targeting our Sima family after all?” Sima Yingjun couldn’t help feeling indignant at the thought of Xiao Zhonghai being killed, “Our family hasn’t done anything dishonorable or despicable, why this?”
“Young master, don’t be angry, this world is unpredictable, most are the sa,” Qian the shopkeeper advised.
“Sotis your re presence is an obstruction to others,” Sima Manli said without much lantation, simply shaking her head, “We’ve reported it to the authorities, and for the next while, don’t leave the house and stay ho.”
“Yes, sister,” Sima Yingjun replied, feeling sowhat sullen and frustrated, as if being suppressed and unable to vent.
After he left.
Sima Manli turned to Qian the shopkeeper, who spoke in a low voice, “The female guard by Liu Jun’s side disappeared today, suspected to be killed. Moreover, the Liu family was also invaded by a mysterious person today, driving Zhao Xinan out.”
Sima Manli sat at the table, frowning.
“This ans that another group we are unaware of has appeared in Nan Du City… but for those targeting us, besides the Liu family and their followers, I can’t think of anyone else. The mysterious person who targeted the Liu family must be soone different.”
“Miss is right, Zhao Xinan is a Martial Arts Grandmaster, and to be able to drive him out and escape unscathed, the assailant must also be a Martial Arts Grandmaster,” Qian the shopkeeper said in a grave tone, “In addition, today there was news from Wusheng Street that a Martial Arts Grandmaster appeared at Zhou’s Martial House and did not challenge the establishnt.”
“Even Grandmaster Zhou doesn’t know the identity of this person?” Sima Manli asked, puzzled.
“I don’t know, it’s likely soone from outside.”
“The waters of Nan Du City are about to get muddier,” she said.
…
Unaware that he had beco a weathervane of Nan Du City, Pei Jinye had quietly left the Sima family.
Within a certain forest.
He was using his Extraordinary Abilities to frenetically summon venomous creatures.
The more venom he collected, the more feedback he received from the strengthening… The improvent of Attribute Points had undoubtedly confird there was still room for his Physical Body to improve.
However, under the attack of the poison his spiritual power and Vitality would be affected.
As for these losses, Pei Jinye was unconcerned.
Lose how much, eat how much!
In this regard, the Sima family had never treated him poorly!
“Interesting, you actually understand the way of Beast Taming.” A middle-aged man in black attire erged on a distant hillside, stepping on a poisonous creature, his gaze intently fixed on Pei Jinye.
That look was like soone beholding an Exotic Treasure, wishing they could carve a piece of flesh from Pei Jinye.
Understandably so.
In this world, the path of Beast Taming is a niche art, with few Cultivators following it… and those who do attain proficiency in this art invariably possess an extra ans of self-preservation.
Who wouldn’t want an additional secret weapon at their disposal?
Seeing Pei Jinye’s young age, the newcor naturally didn’t consider his Combat Power to be on the sa level as his own.
But the very next second—
Heaven and earth seed to shatter.
Pei Jinye’s control over the Elents had improved trendously since the past.
In the mont of the fissure.
The middle-aged man let out a shocked cry of astonishnt.
“You’re a Master Technique!!!”
