Chapter 240 - 186: Blood Demon Prison-Suppressing Force, Nine Thunder Poison Flame Arrow Technique

[Bloodthirsty Poison Technique Entry Level!]

[Nine-Turn Poisonous Dart Entry Level!]

After studying the two secret techniques for an hour, I’ve reached entry level in both.

[Bloodthirsty Poison Technique detected. Spend 2500 Spirit Stones to simplify?]

[Nine-Turn Poisonous Dart detected. Spend 2500 Spirit Stones to simplify?]

The next second, the panel popped up a red notification.

"Simplify!"

Lin Chang’sheng clicked Yes.

[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Bloodthirsty Poison Technique...Simplifying...Simplification Complete. Bloodthirsty Poison Technique == Watch Poisonous Creature!]

[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Nine-Turn Poisonous Dart...Simplifying...Simplification complete. Nine-Turn Poisonous Dart == Touch Throwing Dart!]

"Watch poisonous creatures? Touch a throwing dart?"

Neither of these seems too hard, especially touching a dart.

Lin Chang’sheng rummaged around in his storage bag and quickly found a magical artifact that looked like a dart.

He started fiddling with it in his hand.

Nine-Turn Poisonous Dart Experience Points +1!

Nine-Turn Poisonous Dart Experience Points +1!

....

Nine-Turn Poisonous Dart’s experience kept rising.

"Watch poisonous creatures? Do I have to go find a poisonous snake and watch it?"

Obviously in the middle of the night that’s impossible—not to mention a pain.

Lin Chang’sheng stared at the skinny old guy’s corpse on the ground, muttering to himself.

Bloodthirsty Poison Technique Experience Points +1!

Bloodthirsty Poison Technique Experience Points +1!

...

But unexpectedly, the next second, the Bloodthirsty Poison Technique’s experience points started increasing.

"Watching a corpse counts too?"

Lin Chang’sheng was a bit surprised, but after thinking about it, this emaciated old guy was covered in poison—he basically counts as a poisonous thing.

Well, good—saves me from searching for a snake.

If Lin Chang’sheng hadn’t come alone this time—if Wine Sword Immortal was with him...

Wine Sword Immortal would probably think Chang’sheng had some weird kink if he saw him like this.

Literally rubbing a dart with one hand, staring at a corpse on the ground, with a little satisfied smile curling at his lips.

Anyone watching this scene would totally think there was something wrong with Lin Chang’sheng.

Nothing else happened all night.

The next morning.

[Bloodthirsty Poison Technique Perfection!]

[Nine-Turn Poisonous Dart Perfection!]

Hard work pays off for some people—after a night of ’bitter cultivation’, both secret techniques were perfected.

[Bloodthirsty Poison Technique (Perfection), Primordial Golden Core Soul Suppressing Technique (Perfection) detected. Do you want to fuse these two techniques?]

[Nine-Turn Poisonous Dart (Perfection), Celestial Thunder and Flame Arrow Technique (Perfection) detected. Fuse both hidden weapon skills?]

The moment Lin Chang’sheng perfected both secret techniques, the panel prompted him again.

"Bloodthirsty Poison Technique can actually fuse with Primordial Golden Core Soul Suppressing Technique?"

That caught Lin Chang’sheng off guard.

But, well, they’re both cultivation techniques—makes sense they could fuse.

Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t about to say no.

"Fuse them all!"

Lin Chang’sheng clicked to fuse everything in turn.

[Bloodthirsty Poison Technique (Perfection), Primordial Golden Core Soul Suppressing Technique (Perfection) fusion starting...Fusing...Fusion complete. New cultivation technique acquired: Blood Demon Prison-Suppressing Force!]

[Nine-Turn Poisonous Dart (Perfection), Celestial Thunder and Flame Arrow Technique (Perfection) fusion starting...Fusing...Fusion complete. New archery skill acquired: Nine Thunder Poison Flame Arrow Technique!]

"Blood Demon Prison-Suppressing Force? Nine Thunder Poison Flame Arrow Technique?"

The names didn’t change much, but the power must be way higher than before.

Time to look for a quiet spot to test them out.

[Blood Demon Prison-Suppressing Force detected. Spend 3000 Spirit Stones to simplify?]

[Nine Thunder Poison Flame Arrow Technique detected. Spend 3000 Spirit Stones to simplify?]

Just as the secret techniques finished fusing, the panel popped up another prompt.

Lin Chang’sheng chose Yes.

[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Blood Demon Prison-Suppressing Force...Simplifying...Simplification Complete. Blood Demon Prison-Suppressing Force == Touch Poison-Body Woman!]

[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Nine Thunder Poison Flame Arrow Technique...Simplifying...Simplification Complete. Nine Thunder Poison Flame Arrow Technique == Touch Poison Arrow!]

"Touch a poison-body woman? Touch a poison arrow?"

Touching a poison arrow isn’t hard—just drip a little blood onto an arrow.

After all, even though Lin Chang’sheng’s blood looks normal now, once Blood Demon Prison-Suppressing Force is running, it becomes insanely poisonous.

Other than himself, anyone who touches it would be risking their life.

But finding a poison-body woman—that’s a problem for Lin Chang’sheng.

All he’s got right now is the corpse of a bony old man.

Where am I supposed to find a poisonous woman?

Should I go to Taiyin Island and kidnap one or something?

Knock knock knock—

Right as Chang’sheng was pondering, there was a knock at the door.

"Lin Chang’sheng, are you in?"

Outside, Yu Lingfei called out.

Lin Chang’sheng snapped out of his thoughts, stored the dried-up corpse in his storage bag, and went to open the door.

The door opened, revealing Yu Lingfei, already looking much healthier, her face no longer deathly pale.

She’d even changed clothes; compared to the mess she was in yesterday, she was like a whole new person.

She seemed pure and otherworldly, like someone untouched by mortal dust.

Blood Demon Prison-Suppressing Force Experience Points +1!

Blood Demon Prison-Suppressing Force Experience Points +1!

....

But the moment Lin Chang’sheng set eyes on Yu Lingfei, Blood Demon Prison-Suppressing Force’s experience started shooting up.

This caught Lin Chang’sheng off guard.

But then again, it made sense.

After all, the poison in Yu Lingfei’s body hasn’t been fully removed—she counts as poison-body for sure.

"Miss Yu, how’s your recovery going?"

Lin Chang’sheng asked.

Otherwise, just staring at her like that would be pretty rude.

This time, it seemed Yu Lingfei had learned from last time—she didn’t recklessly barge into Chang’sheng’s room.

If she saw any more weird stuff in there, she’d have a hard time explaining it away.

"I’m here to say goodbye. After last night’s rest, my injuries have recovered about thirty percent. I’d better not linger out here; I plan to return to the sect and report in!"

Yu Lingfei said, sounding a little reluctant.

She did want to spend more time with Lin Chang’sheng, but things at the sect have been unstable lately.

"If Miss Yu is leaving, I won’t keep you. But your wounds aren’t healed—if you run into anyone from the Demon Dao on the road, you’ll be in real danger. Turns out my destination is along your route—why not travel together?"

How could Lin Chang’sheng let a poison-body woman slip away right in front of him?

Besides, he wasn’t lying either.

The map marked by the old skeleton pointed to a spot about three hundred miles from Yanyue Immortal Sect.

Who knows what the map really hides, but it can’t be ordinary.

So he planned to accompany Yu Lingfei there. And along the way, watching her would keep racking up experience for his Blood Demon Prison-Suppressing Force.

"Uh..."

Yu Lingfei looked a little surprised—she hadn’t expected Lin Chang’sheng to care so much about her safety.

"Is that not okay? If it’s inconvenient, I can—"

"No, it’s not inconvenient! If you’re willing to come with me, that’s even better!"

Before Lin Chang’sheng could finish, Yu Lingfei interrupted, "You pack up—we’re leaving now!"

Leaving those words behind, Yu Lingfei’s face turned bright red as she hurried off.

Lin Chang’sheng watched her walk away, finding it hard to tear his eyes off her.

Because every second he watched Yu Lingfei, his Blood Demon Prison-Suppressing Force’s experience kept rising.

After packing up, Lin Chang’sheng left the inn with Yu Lingfei.

Yu Lingfei was still pretty weak and couldn’t ride her sword.

Lin Chang’sheng summoned a flying shuttle, injected his magical power, and the shuttle caught the wind, swelling to the size of a sailboat.

Lin Chang’sheng leapt aboard with Yu Lingfei, and the shuttle sliced through the sky, heading toward Yanyue Immortal Sect.

It was a thousand-mile trip, but the flying shuttle was so fast they’d make it in less than two hours.

Lin Chang’sheng was worried about arriving too quickly and not maxing his Blood Demon Prison-Suppressing Force experience.

So he purposely slowed down, staring at Yu Lingfei intently the whole ride.

This made Yu Lingfei a little flustered—her heart was pounding away.

While watching Yu Lingfei, Lin Chang’sheng made sure to keep rubbing a poison arrow—one tipped with a drop of his blood—behind his back.

This way, his Nine Thunder Poison Flame Arrow Technique experience climbed too.

A total two-for-one deal.

...

Three hours later—

[Blood Demon Prison-Suppressing Force (Perfection)]

[Nine Thunder Poison Flame Arrow Technique (Perfection)]

At last, just as Yanyue Immortal Sect came into view, both of Lin Chang’sheng’s new top techniques hit Perfection.

"Thank you for escorting me all the way. Hope to see you again someday!"

At the foot of the sect mountain, Yu Lingfei spoke, her cheeks flushed.

"Until we meet again!"

Lin Chang’sheng replied, feeling truly satisfied inside.

This girl really helped me a ton.

First she danced for me in Spirit-Seizing Land, and now she maxed out my Blood Demon Prison-Suppressing Force proficiency for me.

All that’s left is to see how powerful it really is.

Chang’sheng was itching to find somewhere to test it out.

After hurrying his goodbyes with Yu Lingfei, Lin Chang’sheng found a deserted mountain forest.

He began testing the two major secret techniques.

He started by unleashing the Blood Demon Prison-Suppressing Force.

A towering Demon God phantom rose behind him, dyed a bloody red.

The Demon God looked absolutely fearsome and imposing.

Scarlet mist engulfed Lin Chang’sheng.

This bloody fog was lethally toxic; nearby trees touched by it were corroded in an instant.

"Hyaah—"

Lin Chang’sheng punched forward, his magical power surging into a blood-red fist mark that blasted toward the mountain ahead.

BOOM—

The blood-red fist mark collided with the mountain, exploding in a deafening roar.

In an instant, the hundred-zhang-high mountain was shattered by his Fist Aura.

Not only was this punch devastating, but everywhere the blood-red force touched, trees and rocks were eaten away by corrosion.

Where the mountain had been struck, a deep pit remained, and the earth around it looked half-melted, as if by super-strong acid.

"Damn, what a crazy poison technique!"

Lin Chang’sheng’s heart skipped a beat.

Even if that punch couldn’t kill an enemy, the poison would finish them for sure.

After trying the poison attack, Lin Chang’sheng pulled out the Sky-shining Flame Bow, drew it full, and nocked nine thunderbolt arrows.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

He loosed the bowstring, and nine thunder arrows screamed through the air, zigzagging as if slices of lightning, shifting trajectories mid-flight.

In the end, they actually circled around a mountain before hammering into the forest behind it.

The arrows blasted deep craters into the woods.

The arrows packed a way bigger punch than before.

Last time they just had thunder and fiery flame power.

This time, they’re packing poison too.

Even if the thunder and fire couldn’t hurt someone, once the poison got in, it wasn’t coming out so easily.

Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator hit by these arrows would need to keep channeling magical power to drive out the poison.

Otherwise, toxic blood would seize their heart—and they’d die.

But best of all, the arrows could alter course in mid-air—not just once, but a full nine times, making them damn near impossible to dodge.

"Time to check out the spot marked on the map! I wonder what surprises are waiting?"

After testing the two secret techniques, Lin Chang’sheng had a basic sense of their power and got ready to leave.

But before he left, he used the Bone Transformation Technique again, shaping his appearance into that of the scrawny old man.

This way, even if he stumbled into Taiyin Island’s outpost, he wouldn’t get instantly recognized.

Lin Chang’sheng figured there had to still be Taiyin Island’s remnants lurking nearby—no way anyone cleaned them all out.
