After the departure of Yun Xiang, Yun Chen put the spirit herb in a wooden box on the shelf and recovered the daggers on the ground. The two daggers were ordinary spirit weapon without attribute, and they were made with a high-quality material: the shell of a core- formation realm red & black turtle-snake.
« They only melted it with some spirit essence to make the daggers. It is also good. When I find other good materials, I will refine them into better spirit weapons. For the moment, it will still be effective against the demon beast under the core- formation realm. I will use them very well. » Yun Chen said to himself while carefully checking the daggers.
Now, he shifted his attention to the spirit stones in the waist bag. There were enough spirit stones to buy some herbs, but it was far from enough to buy some monster elemental spirit roots. Moreover, monsters' poison spirit roots are considered useless. Even for poison makers, they have no value.
«Only thirty low grade spirit stones and 3 medium grade ones! It is only enough to buy some herb and make some poison for tomorrow's hunting. »
A lot of things happened at the same time and Yun Chen was very tired. So, he rested himself for about 5 hours until Su Ling came back with three low grade spirit stones and a medium grade one.
«Take this young master! These are spirit stones you were asking for. » said Su Ling while handing him the bag of spirit stones.
Yun Chen had already forgotten this deal with her and began to have some guilt.
«It is not necessary anymore. » Yun Chen said.
He suddenly struck his finger on her forehead.
«This technique is good for you at this moment. » said Yun Chen with a detached tone after transferring the technique directly into her mind.
«I just want you to do me a favor. Take this recipe and buy me all the herbs in it. Also, buy me a whole pack of steel beast bone needles. If there are some spirit stones left, you can take it for yourself » Yun Chen said while handing her a piece of paper. He then handed her the bag of spirit stones he earned earlier missing only ten low grade spirit stones and a medium grade one that he took for himself.
«Thank you young master! I will be back shortly » Su Ling happily replied and rushed out.
It didn't take long for her to find all the materials. Those herbs were main ingredients to make deadly poisons. It is the first thing you learn when you enter the assassin organization.
Speaking of deadly poison, the only person who can produce the soul poison that was used on him in his previous life by Hongtian and now, on the former Yun Chen, is the patriarch of the assassin organisation, Chu Wei.
«Is it possible that he was still alive? And if that is true, he must be the true mastermind behind Hongtian and Qingling. » Yun Chen thought to himself.
Chu Wei was killed by Yun Chen in his previous life as Long Chen. So, it was very surprising that this poison still exists.
After some time, Su Ling came back with a lot of bags and handed them over to Yun Chen. After that, Yun Chen helped her practice with the new technique and used the remaining time of the day to make the poison he will use in tomorrow's hunt. He also soaked the steel boar bone needles in poison.
After a good night rest and some morning exercises, he packed his stuffs and came out. Just as he was about to leave the family mansion, Yun Xiang appeared in front of him with a lot of his clansmen to block his way.
«Where do you think you are going? » asked Yun Xiang with a cunning smile on his face.
«What do you want this time? Wasn't the lesson I gave you yesterday enough? Do you want me to destroy it this time? » replied Yun Chen with an insidious voice.
Hearing this sentence, Yun Xiang instinctively covered the thing between his legs with both hands.
«You… A piece of shit like you dare to threaten me? You are courting death! Brothers, break both of his hands and legs. I want him to kneel and beg for mercy. » shouted out the embarrassed Yun Xiang.
At that moment, with some simple yet quick movement, Yun Chen struck several of their acupoints and they all fell to the ground unable to move leaving only Yun Xiang behind.
Yun Chen walked slowly toward him. He fell to the ground from fear not knowing what just happened.
«I…I was wrong. Don't come near me! » Yun Xiang cried out with a frightened face.
«It is too late to beg for mercy. I have already warned you. » replied Yun Chen with a cold face.
At that moment, the third elder appeared, and everyone began paying him respect while whispering between themselves how Yun Chen will be dealt with by the elder for harming his younger disciple.
Seeing his master coming, Yun Xiang jumped out to hide behind him while complaining about Yun Chen.
«Master, this trash Yun Chen was jealous of the treasure herb I found in the demon beast mountain, so he stole the herb and now he secretly attacked me and wanted to kill me! » cried out Yun Xiang with a tearful face.
«Presumptuous! How dare you try and secretly kill someone in the family mansion. Today, I will punish you on behalf of your deceased parents » shouted the elder while exuding an intense pressure to scare Yun Chen out of his wit.
But this pressure didn't even affect him.
«Is he trying to scare a soul like mine with this ridiculous pressure? » Yun Chen thought to himself while offsetting the pressure with his soul power.
«Third elder! You only listened to the other party and wanted to punish me. This is really unfair from you. » replied Yun Chen with a smiling face.
The third elder was very surprised and was asking himself how Yun Chen was able to stand this much pressure while everyone already fell down.
«Nonsense! Who do you think you are to question my decision » shouted the third elder angrily.
At that very moment, Yun Chen voice reasoned in the third elder's head.
«Hey! Old fox! I advise you to stay put if you don't want to die. » said Yun Chen to the elder using sound transmission.
The third elder was very surprised because only those at the innate realm and above can master the sound transmission technique.
«How is this possible? » the third elder questioned himself with a confused face.
«If you continue to practise the Raging fire bull art, you will die tortured by fire poison each night till your life end » Yun Chen told him using sound transmission.
Fear began to appear in the third elder heart because what Yun Chen just told was only known by him.
«If you want to live, then make a fair judgement and I'll cure you. I will be counting to three so make your decision. One! » declared Yun Chen with sound transmission.
«How did you know about my problem? » asked the elder using the sound transmission.
At the same time, Yun Xiang, having regained his confidence began to shout at Yun Chen.
«Yun Chen! You must kneel down and beg for mercy! Maybe master will spare you. »
«It doesn't matter. The choice is yours. Two! » Yun Chen replied to the elder with sound transmission ignoring Yun Xiang.
«This time I will take a risk » the third elder thought to himself.
«What? Do you want to rebel? Do you think my master is here for show? » Yun Xiang continued to shout.
«Shut up! Stop spouting nonsenses! » cried the elder while slapping Yun Xiang.
«What? Wh...why, master? » Yun Xiang replied with confusion.
«Forgive me, Yun Chen! I should have investigated the matter beforehand. » continued the elder while ignoring Yun Xiang.
«It is not a problem as long as Xiang'er doesn't bother me. » replied Yun Chen.
«Please, Chen'er! What is the cure for the fire poison? » asked the elder when Yun Chen was about to leave.
Yun Chen looked back and handed him a piece of paper.
«Take this recipe and follow the instructions on it. It can only alleviate your pain for a month. I don't have time now to make a proper cure so you will have to wait for my return » declared Yun Chen.
He then took his stuffs, came out of the mansion, and departed for the demon beast mountain.
