Chapter 35 Deceiving Fools
"bluff!"
Slowly raising the knife in his hand, Mu Qingshan took one step at a time.
Walk to the other side.
In his eyes, the other party was just putting on a brave face and thought he was underestimating him by betting that he wouldn't dare to step forward.
He is also a master of the Innate Realm. Although he has only recently entered the Innate Realm, the reason he has reached his current level is because he is ruthless and decisive!
He looked greedily at Shen Che, who was already a master of the Innate Realm at such a young age. That skill, that flesh and blood—it would all be his soon!
"That's impossible!"
He had only taken a few steps when, just as Mu Qingshan was gathering all his strength to prepare for battle, he found that his power was becoming difficult to circulate and his hands and feet were starting to become unresponsive.
It's not noticeable when you're not exerting force, but once you do, your hands and feet become weak and your skill level drops significantly.
"Clang!" He gripped the hilt with the blade pointing downwards, and within moments, he was even starting to lose his balance.
"When did this become impossible?"
"Can't remember?" Seeing that the medicine was working, Shen Che was happy to wait a little longer.
This is a prescription he obtained after inheriting Luo Qianhua's medical skills; it's specifically for martial arts masters.
Although it takes some time to be fully absorbed, its strength lies in the fact that it is not visible in the early stages.
If you don't use your internal energy, the effect won't be obvious; once you do, it's like a flood bursting its banks, with no chance of recovery.
This soreness will only get worse in an instant, until you can't hold on any longer.
The fact that it can still stand means the effect isn't too noticeable yet. It should be almost there once it's completely collapsed.
"Mu Qingshan, you pretended to want me to leave before, and even pulled me away. At that moment, you secretly poisoned me."
"Young Master Mu, you've outsmarted yourself. If it weren't for this, I might not have noticed your problem."
"So I helped you out back then, don't you remember?"
"Speaking of which, I still have to thank the Mu family for the medicine. The Mu family truly lives up to its reputation as a major medicinal herb merchant; they were able to find all the herbs I needed to prepare the medicine. Otherwise, this medicine would have been really difficult to make."
"You!" Your own father is a scumbag. People give you money and you sell medicine. Do you need that money?
They usually just take everything and leave without paying, but this time they're actually delivering the goods. They even said they'd show some sincerity first and take their time, to wait and see. Slow my foot! I'm about to be ripped off.
"That's about enough!" Seeing that the time was right, Shen Che raised the sword in his hand. If he dragged it out any longer, the effects of the medicine would soon be gone.
Seeing that the other side seemed about to swing their sword, Mu Qingshan visibly panicked.
He had just seen Shen Che's sword. Although they were both innate masters, he knew the difference between them.
He waited for the poison to take effect, not because he didn't want to make a move, but because he dared not, for if he did, he would truly expose his true identity.
No matter how magnificent the Mu family manor may seem, it is ultimately just a medicinal herb merchant. He only acquired his martial arts skills by being tricked by his two good sisters.
The last one who was fooled in this way has been completely drained and used as nourishment for itself.
But in the end, he was just a wandering cultivator in the martial world. He was over fifty years old when he finally stepped into the Innate Realm, and his foundation was ultimately limited.
To possess such terrifying swordsmanship, one would have to be from a powerful and influential family; otherwise, it would be unthinkable for an ordinary person.
Seeing that Shen Che was about to attack him, he wanted to run, but his limbs were getting weaker and weaker. He was only able to stand up by his last breath, and he could not even turn around.
What kind of medicine is this? I've been soaking medicinal herbs for years, so I should have developed some resistance. How could it be this serious?
Damn leg, move it!
Driven by the will to survive, Mu Qingshan tried his best to turn around, but his feet felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
That familiar feeling from childhood seemed to return; it was a feeling that his body couldn't control, a past he didn't want to remember.
He can't die here. He's only in his twenties, and it wasn't easy for him to have this healthy body now. His future is bright.
Why was he so greedy and insisted on taking her? He shouldn't have been greedy. If he hadn't been greedy, he wouldn't have made such a mistake!
Raising his sword, Shen Che suddenly swung it down.
The sword light was fierce, slicing through the void and completely engulfing Mu Qingshan.
Seeing the sword energy that seemed capable of tearing everything apart hurtling towards him, Mu Qingshan only had time to cry out in alarm. Blood appeared simultaneously with a painful scream, but vanished in an instant.
I thought this young master Mu could hold his own, but who knew he was just trash, his innate abilities are really weak.
Looking at Mu Qingshan, who had completely lost his life, Shen Che finally wiped the sword in his hand clean.
"This is..." Her gaze inadvertently fell on Mu Qingshan, and she used her sword to pick out something that looked like sheepskin from his body. This was something he kept close to his body.
Mu Qingshan's clothes had already been torn to shreds by his sword energy, but this leather-like object remained intact.
Not only that, but everywhere else was a bloody mess, but this place alone was completely free of blood.
Even the bloodstains on the edges and corners disappeared visibly. No, to be precise, they were absorbed.
"This thing can suck blood?" The piece of leather was placed on the roadside, and blood-stained words began to appear on it.
"He Yuan Gong? Wu You Dan!"
The text describes a technique that involves cultivating oneself with medicinal herbs. Once the body has been cultivated to a certain level, it can be used to devour the power or even the essence of flesh and blood of others.
By combining the He Yuan Gong with the Wu You Dan to solidify one's foundation, one can rapidly improve without leaving too many future problems.
So that's how it is. No wonder this young master Mu, who seems to have only average talent, possesses such skill. It turns out he cultivated himself as a medicine man and then stole someone else's skill. No wonder he's so weak.
"No future troubles? You're kidding me!" Anyone who practices this kind of technique is a fool. Generally, only those who are inheritors of a family or sect with a strong foundation can see the potential for future troubles.
Such forcibly plundered power is too chaotic and lacks any unique means of neutralizing it, making it difficult to fully integrate these different types of internal energy.
Even if you use medication to cultivate yourself into a suitable vessel, it is ultimately only a temporary solution and not a cure.
One day, internal strife will erupt. With so many different forces intertwined, once it breaks out, the scene will surely be quite spectacular.
From Shen Che's outsider's perspective, Mu Qingshan was clearly tricked. His biggest role was probably as a filter; they used him as a filter element.
They were so foolish as to actually soak themselves in drugs; what kind of brain does that mean?
This medicine is so potent, it's almost to the point where people are harvesting it.
Someone like Mu Qingshan, without family tradition, without elders to teach him, and without formal martial arts education, would probably be foolish enough to think he was just lucky if he found him.
So, the Worry-Free Pill also belongs to Mu Qingshan, but it must have been discovered by Mu Changming through some other means.
Driven by greed, Mu Changming would naturally try every means to cultivate this medicine.
Both father and son thought they had struck gold, but the difference was that the son was cheated by an outsider, while the father was cheated by his son.
The father and son are truly father and son; their IQs are exactly the same, completely inherited from the same lineage.
Choosing a medicinal herb merchant like the Mu family, who have no shortage of medicinal herbs, shows they have excellent taste.
"Something's not right!" Chi Jian carefully looked around. Could the Mu family have been being watched all along?
