Cultivation Begins with Skill Points-Chapter 105: Five Poison Beast

"Alas! I thought it was a damsel in distress, but who would have thought it was a nighttime chase scene? What a pity, offering my life in exchange for hers is out of the question. However, that person’s blade was indeed quite fast." Mei Weixuan had a face full of regret.

On the distant big tree, Zhong Lin and his companion witnessed everything before them. They were extremely surprised by Song Wei’s ultimate speed with his blade; the name "Wind Blade" was truly not just for show.

"Let’s go! Let’s not be mistaken for accomplices."

Zhong Lin shook his head, wanting to leave. It was better not to get involved in such things.

"Alright... Oh damn, it’s the Five Poison Beast, Zhong Lin, it’s the Five Poison Beast."

In the distance, Song Wei unexpectedly opened the Jade Box, and with the help of moonlight, they could see a silkworm-like creature laid inside the box.

The jade silkworm was only the size of a thumb, pure white like jade, shining with an unusual brilliance under the moonlight, looking more like a piece of jade artwork than a bug.

Zhong Lin also suddenly stopped in his tracks, watching intently.

The medical books of the Hundred Herbs Hall had records.

The Five Poison Beast, a mutant beast of the insect class, shaped like a white silkworm, its body containing a deadly poison. Just a single bite could instantly kill a Middle Third Grades martial artist who has condensed Qi-Blood, and even Upper Third Grades martial artists could only suppress its poison, unable to withstand it.

This isn’t the main point.

The Five Poison Beast feeds on Five Poisons. When it’s full, it can secrete a kind of poison liquid. When the liquid is dissolved in wine and ingested, it can enhance the five internal organs.

This is simply version 2.0 of the Five Spirit Pills, as the Five Spirit Pills only nurture the five organs, while the poison liquid secreted by the Five Poison Beast can strengthen the five organs and six viscera.

A strong five organs and six viscera can naturally receive the nourishment of Qi-Blood better.

"Zhong Lin, we must seize it. With this thing, we can soon complete practicing the viscera." Mei Weixuan was full of excitement.

He didn’t expect that merely watching a show, he would encounter such a great thing as the Five Poison Beast. Missing this would be like being struck by lightning.

The key point is that the Five Poison Beast is not an elixir, but a mutant beast, which means it can be handed down over generations.

If they can control it, it means the family will have an endless source of version 2.0 Five Spirit Pills.

Fearing Zhong Lin’s sense of justice might disagree, Mei Weixuan continued, "This Five Poison Beast obviously was stolen by this Song Wei from Yu Chaosheng. At most, we’re just intercepting it, and it counts as avenging Yu Chaosheng, right?"

"You stall that Wind Blade Song Wei first, and I’ll deal with those miscellaneous fish and come to help you."

Zhong Lin said in a low voice, his right hand reaching for the belt at his waist, his wrist shook, and a white long whip appeared in his hand.

Mei Weixuan’s face lit up, licked his lips, and eagerly said, "Alright."

...

Song Wei looked at the Five Poison Beast in the Jade Box with satisfaction. Having this thing meant that the Song Family would have an endless supply of Five Spirit Pills, enough to guarantee their glory for another hundred years.

"It really is the Five Poison Beast, didn’t disappoint me."

This item was accidentally obtained by Yu Chaosheng from an ancient cave dwelling of a predecessor. Unfortunately, this guy couldn’t keep his mouth shut and got drunk while visiting a brothel, telling the prostitutes about it.

Little did he know, the brothel was a property of the Song Family. Naturally, the news of the Five Poison Beast reached the Song Family, leading to the scene of pursuit and assassination.

Whoosh!

A light sound rang out. Suddenly, a white long whip from nowhere wrapped around the Jade Box, and the next moment, the Jade Box flew away.

"How bold!"

Song Wei was momentarily stunned, furious anger filled his heart, and his body moved, rushing swiftly in the direction the Jade Box flew.

Hiss!

In the darkness, as Song Wei was speeding along, he vaguely saw a streak of red light flashing past.

A warning sign flashed in Song Wei’s mind. There seemed to be a great horror within that red light.

Instinctively, he raised the treasured blade in his hand, slashing with the wind.

The red light was severed, but still, a thread grazed his hand, cutting open a long gash on the back of Song Wei’s hand, causing blood to spurt everywhere.

Song Wei didn’t seem to mind the wound on his hand, but instead, he fixed his gaze on the shadow in the darkness, saying word by word, "Sword formed of Qi-Blood, what a sword formed of Qi-Blood. May I know how to address you? Why did you seize the property of the Song Family of Pinggu?"

"That’s like a granny getting into bed—made me laugh my head off. Property of the Song Family? Then who is that lying next to you?"

In the night, the silhouette of Mei Weixuan slowly appeared, and his mouth continued to utter words that made people want to sew it shut.

"You say it’s your Song Family’s, I say it’s mine. In the end, it’s all stolen, don’t you think?"

Song Wei’s eyes narrowed, his aura rapidly rising, and his whole person seemed to transform into a blade, emanating sharpness.

"So there’s nothing to discuss. In that case, die!"

The treasured blade was unsheathed, a crimson flash illuminated the night sky.

Song Wei’s blade was truly fast, even faster than when dealing with Yu Chaosheng earlier.

Mei Weixuan refused to show weakness, accompanied by the hum of a sword, countless sword shadows filled the sky.

Ding ding ding!

In just an instant, the sound of dozens of blades and swords clashing echoed in the air.

Zhong Lin also stepped out of the darkness, unhurriedly placing the Jade Box into his bosom.

"The Jade Box is on him, kill him."

The martial artists of the Song Family shouted towards Zhong Lin and then charged towards him.

Zhong Lin grinned, a smile appearing on his face, as his wrist shook, the whip in his hand trembled like a long snake, producing a sound akin to the air exploding at the whip’s tip.

The long whip swept across, and with Zhong Lin’s wrist movements, shadow after shadow flipped and flew in the air, colliding with each other like silver serpents dancing, dazzling onlookers.

The whip as a weapon is tough to wield, only attacking not defending, primarily using swing, wrap, sweep, hook, and throw. It appears weak, but if practiced lightly with skill, it is extremely formidable, leaving opponents with no defense.

The soft whip in Zhong Lin’s hand was five meters long, moving like a snake emerging from its hole, with the blade at the whip’s tip being the most venomous fang in the snake’s bite.

With the full-level experience supporting him, Zhong Lin seemed to become one with the long whip, as if it was an extension of his arm.

With a sweep of the whip’s end, the blade at the tip flashed a cold light, and in an instant, a martial artist clutched his throat and fell, lifeless, the crimson blood spraying from it.

The martial artists before him, at most, one of them was a Sixth Grade martial artist who just condensed Qi-Blood, the others were all Lower Third Grades in cultivation, completely unable to resist Zhong Lin’s long whip, and moments later, they all fell to a bitter defeat, their souls extinguished.

A flick of his wrist, the long whip wound back around his waist like a belt, and no one would have known that it was a terrifying weapon of murder.

In the distance, Mei Weixuan was still entangled with Song Wei, both of them wounded, seemingly evenly matched.

One step forward, stepping on the Seven Stars.

Zhong Lin instantly entered the battlefield between the two, a shift of his foot, and the leg stance of "Kui Star Kick" exploded forth.

In this single kick, Qi-Blood vibrated internally, stretching open all his muscles and skin, and the move came down like a thunderous wrath, like a deity descending to the mortal world.

A long breath was exhaled between the nostrils, a long chant shaking the heavens, like a crane, like a dragon.

This is the advantage of a robust lung among the five organs, full of vigor, allowing one to hold their breath for an hour even underwater.

Song Wei, who was entangled with Mei Weixuan, saw Zhong Lin’s leg stance like a thousand troops and horses, and alarm bells rang in his heart, a sense of fear surging from within.
