Rex took out one glass dripper, the dripper contained a grey color liquid inside it, he dropped one drop in each glass then re-placed the dripper in the capsule and then in inventory.
"I'm John Carter, I came from the Drunken Fist Sect situated in a small city at one corner of Golden Bird Continent called Mars City. Respected seniors our sect is famous for wines, why don't you have a taste," Rex said as he handed one glass to each of them and held the last one himself.
The old man politely took the glass but didn't drink it, he took a sniff of the fragrant wine which made his throat dry but he still held back the urge and looked at the Jiang Qing.
"Senior One the Reverse Day & Night Wine is a strong wine and due to its nature it has a strong effect on women furthermore, Senior Sister is not good with wine," Rex said, he then made a toast with them then gulped down all the wine in the glass in one go.
"Haha... Young friend doesn't need to explain your self, I was just curious that's all," Old One said with a smile.
After exchanging a few more sentences, Rex's cheeks were slightly red. As Old One got friendly with him, Rex looked like he almost threw away his guard together with his common sense in the dustbin.
"It's our fate that we met Seniors here, sigh… our sect master has suffered some serious injuries during his failed attempt to breakthrough to Golden Core stage, his injuries are severe so he lent us his companion pet which is also the guardian beast of our sect for us to quickly bring some high-grade healing pills from Alchemist Association. You know, sect master had raised this thunder eagle since he was chi…" Rex started to chat nonstop but Jiang Qing interjected at this time.
She acted like she was anxious that he might reveal all the secrets of their 'Drunken Fist Sect' to strangers, which was something Rex had told her to do.
Rex quickly shut op.
The Old One smiled and said.
"Don't worry young friend we are righteous cultivators, we won't do something like harming your sect for benefits," Old One said with a kind smile.
After hearing Rex's words he had changed his plans, now he not only wants the bird but also the Drunken Fist Sect whose sect master has suffered serious injuries.
Old One gulped down the wine in his glass in one go to show his friendliness, after Rex drank it in front of him and coupled with his silliness, he now considered Rex as one of those rich young masters that have yet to step out of their comfort zone and see the reality of the world.
{It's an unexpected gain, the mercenaries from the legion are dead stuck behind us, we can use this sect called Drunken Fist Sect as our temporary hideout. Their sect master isn't even at Golden Core stage and is also injured we can finish him up easily or take him as a hostage, it won't be bad to have a big number of servants and maids serving us at that time, hehe..} Old One said to his two brothers.
They also got inwardly excited and drank the wine.
{Big brother is right but this girl looks a little smarter, it would be a problem if she alerted him and he tried to run off with the bird,} Old Two said.
{Don't worry, her cultivation base is very low and this brat is using some treasure to hide his cultivation base but is an idiot. If he hadn't mentioned his sect master's cultivation base then I would be cautious but there is no need now, just be friendly until he reveals the proper location of his sect then we will take both of them as captive… No, let's wait until he buys the healing pills from the association, it would be hard for us to buy such pills because of the wanted posters but if he buys them then no one would know that we even were here,} Old One said.
{Big brother your plan is not bad but what if he is lying? He is acting too idiotic for someone who is running an important errand for their sect master,} Old Three said.
{You don't understand the system of these sects, they trusts their blood more than anyone else, he probably has some relation with the sect master I won't be surprised if he is one of his illegitimate children. Cases like these are common, their sect master chose to trust his blood rather than those elders who are waiting to take his position, it's politics,} Old One said in an all-knowing tone.
According to him, Rex didn't even know their cultivation base so how could he think about deceiving him.
"Senior Sister, you worry too much. These old fellows are just like Grandma Meng so how can they be a bad person? If they were the bad person they would have attacked us by now and we would have used our 100 Mile Escape Treasure Talismans, but see they are so respectful to us they are even talking to use without showing any arrogance… right?" Rex expressed his slight dissatisfaction towards Jiang Qing, his movements were slightly sluggish when he placed the empty cup on the ground like he was drunk.
Jiang Qing got goosebumps all over her body when she heard him call her Senior Sister. She had now begun to understand why her father had told her to not think too much about Rex's unreasonable actions.
Old One slightly frowned when he heard Rex mentioning 100 Mile Escape Treasure Talismans, he obviously knew about these talismans, as the name says they allow anyone to escape to 100 miles away when used, this type of talisman is although rare but are useless against a Golden Core stage expert. Someone like him can easily trace them down when they are escaping but it will give them a few seconds which they could use to command the bird to attack three of them or help them escape back to their sect.
"So Senior One tell us something about you," Rex asked with a kind and gentle smile.
"We? We brothers are just lone cultivators who travel from one place to another in search of opportunities for further breakthrough but we are tired now, so we are thinking of joining a decent sect," Old One said in a helpless tone.
"Really? Then why don't you all take a look at our sect? Although our sect is not strong right now we will definitely become an overlord in the future," Rex said in a firm tone.
"Oh, if the young friend has such confidence about the sect then… kr cough**cough**cough," Old One was just speaking but he started to cough nonstop.
"Big Brother are you all..ahh," Old Two was just about to support him but he felt his chest tightening all of a sudden.
Old Three was confused by these two but in the next second, he suffered from the same symptoms. While clenching their chest and coughing, the three brothers exchanged looks and realized something was wrong, they all looked towards Rex at the same time who was pouring more wine in his glass without any change in his expression.
Old One's eyes bloodshot, even a fool could understand what was going on. In the next second he took out a long black sword and slashed it at Rex, the other two brothers also ignored the pain in their chest and reacted, Old Two wielded a red machete, and Old Three held an azure saber as they slashed at Rex respectively.
They had significantly lost their strength but a wounded animal can bring forth their true potential when they are cornered, the three weren't in their peak form anymore but their combined attack could still threaten a normal Golden Core stage expert's life… alas what they were facing was not even a Golden Core stage expert.
'Telekinesis'
When their attacks were only a few centimeters away from Rex, they all felt an irresistible force hitting their bodies like a tsunami, they were all thrown backward and were suppressed in the next moment.
The three old men tried to resist but with every second they felt their strength decreasing.
"You…Bastar.d.." Old One shouted at Rex with bloodshot eyes. He couldn't believe that this silly looking man young man was so poisonous in nature.
Rex took a sip of the wine then turned to Jiang Qing.
"See… This is how we catch Golden Core stage test subjects without harming the goods," Rex said with a smile.
Jiang Qing was at a loss for words. In her eyes the powerful the person is, the prideful they would be, just now from the aura alone she could predict Rex was stronger than them yet he used a deceitful way like poisonings to win and how did he poison them? From wine? But he too drank it?
Seeing her confused expression Rex smiled, he took out the metallic capsule and smiled.
"The wine wasn't poisonous, I just mixed my Heart Coagulating Poison in front of you guys, didn't I? You dumbos didn't even ask what it was hahaha…" Rex laughed wholeheartedly.
The faces of the three old men's were dark. There are too many types of wine in the world and some of them are mixed with different things to enhance their taste before drinking, furthermore, Rex added one to his glass too so how would they know that it was poison? There was not even a smell over it to recognize it as poison, it even gave of bubbles when it fell into the wine.
"Are you wondering why didn't it affect me? Idiots, I had eaten too many types of poison to enhance my immunity what would this meager strength suppressing poison amount too," Rex sneered.
After gaining Ultra Healthy Body, Rex wasn't afraid of being poisoned but knowing that he could develop immunity towards them by being affected once, he obviously tried to intake some poisons starting from the weakest ones. He didn't want to face the same situation as Zakiya, she was able to survive and repel poison using Elixir Of Life but if he got poisoned by the true version of that poison then even Elixir Of Life cannot help him, that's why he started to build his foundation so early.
As for the poison he used just now it's not Heart Coagulating Poison, but an enhanced version of Four Eyed Desert Frog's paralysis poison he made using his own blood… using the enhanced effect of his blood to be precise. He said the wrong name just to confuse Jiang Qing and the three old men. There wasn't much need to do that but it didn't take much effort to use a lie and hide it either.
Rex then stood and walked near the Old One.
"What are you doing young friend? There is some kind of misunderstanding between us if you don't like us traveling with us... Then let us go," Old One squeezed out a smile and said.
Rex just smiled and pressed his hand on his forehead.
'Hallukinesis + Mind Control'
The old man wanted to speak more but his eyelids got heavy and he felt dizzy, he felt like he was drunk and had no idea what was happening around him.
"Do not resist," Rex said.
Although the old man was lost in the illusion he subconsciously nodded his head. Rex infiltrated his Sea Of Consciousness in the next instant.
'Hmm... Let's first use Defense Countering Seal then Absolute Slave Seal,' Rex thought as several soul seals made of SE Points appeared in his Sea Of Consciousness and started to take routes there.
Defense Countering seal was something Rex made a long time ago to defend against the auto defense system of the Sea Of Consciousness of a Golden Core stage expert when he wanted to make an undead out of the sect master of Monster Hunting Sect.
While the Absolute Slave Seal was a soul seal Rex made after analyzing the working of slave collars on the beastman slaves he found in Monster Hunting Sect.
According to Rex's instructions, the old man didn't resist as a result he was able to easily plant those seals in his Sea Of Consciousness. Once the seals are planted the old man won't be able to remove them especially when he has no idea what are soul seals in the first place.
If they were in their peak form it won't be easy for Rex's to use Mind Control on them as they were just one realm below him, but right now they were far from being in peak condition.
After the process was complete, the old man was still imprisoned in illusion and Rex didn't wake him up either, instead, he did someone with the other two old men.
They use a lot of threatening and cursing words against Rex but he was indifferent.
They are soon going to suffer any way so let them be or so he thought.
