Chapter 450 - 283: Hand-Crafting an Exotic Poison (2)
This made Zou Feng laugh. "Uh, so I shouldn’t kill him? Am I supposed to wait for him to kill me instead?"
After that round of settling old scores, Zou Feng was the only one who dared to talk back to Li Dingjie.
But Li Dingjie didn’t fly into a rage because of it.
After a faint, cold smile, he simply stood up and said, "Just because I didn’t bring up these past matters before doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten them."
"Now, an opportunity to wipe the slate clean of all our previous grievances is right in front of you."
"Think it over carefully. In one month, you must all give me a definitive answer!"
As he finished speaking, Spiritual Qi erupted from Li Dingjie’s body.
Everyone present instantly felt as if they’d been plunged into an ice cave, and it was as though a sharp, chilling sword had suddenly appeared at their necks.
Li Dingjie had actually reached the Spiritual Energy Realm!
One must remember that the reason he was able to enter the Inner Sect was because the Kouxian Gate had detected that he was a case of Reincarnation Rebirth, which was why he was admitted into the Inner Sect on an exceptional basis.
And now, after such a short time, he had already successfully broken through.
’No wonder he’s already preparing for Foundation Establishment...’
After another arrogant display, Li Dingjie flicked his sleeves and left.
The reason he gave them a one-month grace period was because Li Dingjie believed these people hadn’t been in the Immortal Sect for long enough. They hadn’t been sufficiently beaten down by the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect’s incredibly cruel and competitive system.
In another month, they would most likely come to the stark realization of just how ridiculous the "pride" they’d clung to from their past was within the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect.
After Li Dingjie left, the silence in the room persisted.
Many were worried now that their old scores had been brought up.
There was nothing they could do. It was clear that Li Dingjie would most likely succeed in leaping the Sky Gate, and becoming a Core Disciple was practically a sure thing.
How could they, a bunch of Outer Sect newbies, possibly go head-to-head with a Core Disciple?
Seeing that the gathering was about to break up on bad terms with everyone leaving, Zou Feng, who couldn’t care less, simply raised his cup and said, "Ignore that fucking idiot. It’s rare for us all to be together again. Drink up, drink up!"
Of course, Zou Feng had the confidence to not care.
After all, as long as Su Qingyu was generous enough to disrobe for him later, he would be able to create his ideal Three-in-One Spirit Body tonight.
After that, stepping into the Spiritual Energy Realm and entering the Inner Sect in a short amount of time would be as easy as taking something from his pocket.
Even if Li Dingjie really did come after him, it would just mean adding another "big brother" to his list. He had plenty of ways to torment him.
After entering the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, since Zou Feng had only practiced the Baleful Qi Attraction Skill, the side effects weren’t relatively large.
Moreover, the "big brothers" currently on his list were all mighty Immortal Cultivation experts with maxed-out durability, so he hadn’t been able to drive them into a state of agonizing ecstasy just yet.
But creating his ideal Spirit Body tonight involved the extremely exaggerated Three-in-One form. Anyone could imagine how risky it would be; the side effects would be absolutely massive.
If things went as expected, he could send one of those "big brothers" to nirvana tonight.
With Zou Feng, a man with dual-list potential, taking the lead in cursing out Li Dingjie, the atmosphere in the room finally relaxed a little.
At least the gathering could continue.
But the seeds of trouble had been sown, and in the end, the gathering still ended hastily.
It was even obvious that some people were already prepared to submit to Li Dingjie’s tyrannical might.
After all, a wise person adapts to the circumstances. Even if they weren’t exploited by Li Dingjie, they would probably have a hard time escaping oppression from other factions.
Seeing everyone take their leave one after another, the only ones who remained in the end were the few people from the former Biyou Palace.
With Bai Chen in particular still next to Su Qingyu, it was awkward for Zou Feng to bring up his request.
Unfortunately, Su Qingyu seemed to be preoccupied with how to deal with Li Dingjie and didn’t mention the "reward" she had promised him after he won their bet.
’This can’t go on,’ Zou Feng thought, so he took the initiative to speak up. "Palace Master, can I... talk to you about something in private?"
Su Qingyu thought Zou Feng wanted to discuss the mess Li Dingjie had created, so she nodded immediately. "Alright, follow me!"
The ultimate sycophant, Bai Chen, wanted to follow, but Su Qingyu shot him a glare, so he could only stop in his tracks sheepishly.
Zou Feng was just celebrating that his chance had finally come when he realized Su Qingyu was leading him to the restaurant’s backyard, not a secluded private room.
"This time, he really tried to be clever but ended up blundering. Li Dingjie truly has a death wish!" Su Qingyu said, gazing into the distance.
There was no wall at the front of the backyard, offering an unobstructed view of the beautiful scenery below the cliff.
When Zou Feng heard this, his heart stirred.
"Palace Master, it seems you’re not afraid of that Li Dingjie?"
Su Qingyu smiled faintly. "Why should I be afraid of him?"
"The Spiritual Qi and other resources in the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect are far superior to those in Great Yan. For me, stepping into the Spiritual Energy Realm is not difficult at all!"
The implication was that Su Qingyu was just trying to build up more of a foundation. Otherwise, if she wanted to, she could step into the Spiritual Energy Realm and enter the Inner Sect immediately.
Zou Feng completely believed her. After all, back in Great Yan, she had been just one step away from that breakthrough.
Sensing it carefully up close, he could tell that Su Qingyu’s Calamity Poison Body had undergone quite a few changes compared to before. This was clearly what she had been accumulating.
This naturally made Zou Feng even more covetous.
Of course, this "craving" was only for the poison, not for her body.
"Palace Master, why don’t we find a more private place to talk?"
After all, people still passed through the backyard from time to time. Zou Feng wasn’t thick-skinned enough to rub Su Qingyu’s foot in public.
"A more private place?" This time, reading the look in Zou Feng’s eyes, Su Qingyu immediately understood.
"So, you wanted to talk to me alone to claim your promised reward?" Su Qingyu’s eyes flickered.
Zou Feng couldn’t be bothered with pleasantries anymore and nodded solemnly. "I do indeed need the poison from your body, Palace Master, to use for creating my Spirit Body."
Su Qingyu smiled enchantingly. "It’s good that it’s useful. I did promise you before, so go ahead and use it!"
With that, she directly stuck out her foot.
’I just said we should find a more private place, why is she starting right now?’
But Zou Feng knew that if he kept insisting, Su Qingyu might change her mind.
So he gritted his teeth, threw caution to the wind, and started rubbing furiously with his hands!
Seeing this, Su Qingyu asked in confusion, "Didn’t I tell you? Absorbing the poison with your mouth is more effective!"
Zou Feng replied perfunctorily, "This is fine. I wouldn’t want to offend you, Palace Master..."
Su Qingyu frowned. "You’re only offending me by just using your hands... O-ho-ho-ho—"
In order to absorb enough poison as quickly as possible, Zou Feng’s hand speed was so fast it was a blur, even leaving afterimages.
Fortunately, Su Qingyu’s skin was truly as smooth as jade, completely devoid of leg hair.
Otherwise, with his frantic rubbing, he would have definitely rubbed her leg hair until it caught fire.
"Thank you, Palace Master!"
With his incredible speed, it was over in a flash.
Zou Feng quickly absorbed the amount he needed.
But he was in no hurry to begin the Refinement. He would use it tonight when creating his Spirit Body.
Even though Zou Feng had already stopped, Su Qingyu’s mouth remained in an "O" shape for several more breaths before returning to normal.
Letting out a long breath, Su Qingyu couldn’t help but exclaim, "Now I finally understand why your nickname back in Great Yan was Evil Hand Squad Leader!"
"Those hands... they really are wicked!"
’...That’s not the reason at all!’
Zou Feng immediately wanted to argue, but he quickly decided there was no point.
Arguing about this with a pervert like Su Qingyu was useless.
With the evolved poison from her Calamity Poison Body now in his possession, Zou Feng had no desire to stay any longer.
As for the trouble Li Dingjie had stirred up, he would deal with it after he successfully created his Spirit Body.
And so, after exchanging a few more pleasantries with Su Qingyu, Zou Feng said his goodbyes.
Seeing he was in a hurry to get back and create his Spirit Body, Su Qingyu didn’t try to keep him.
"Actually, with my Calamity Poison Body, the poison’s properties differ depending on the body part, and they can produce various changes when combined!" Before he left, Su Qingyu was practically spelling it out for him.
"If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll let you rub something else..."
Zou Feng broke into a sweat, but it would be lying to himself to say he wasn’t looking forward to it.
Of course, his anticipation was still only for the poison, not her body.
Returning quickly to Courtyard Nine, Zou Feng prepared everything he needed to create his Spirit Body. He was just waiting for nightfall to go to the Earthly Fiend Gully and begin the process.
As for which "big brother" would bear the burden for him during the Spirit Body creation process...
Currently on the List of Gods, those who could take on this heavy task included Luo Yingning, with whom he had formed a grudge on the Flying Celestial Ship.
This woman possessed a natural Spirit Bone and had also directly entered the Inner Sect. He wondered how she was doing now.
There was also that mysterious "big brother," Gongyang Marquis, from when he became the King of Human Gu in the Glazed Immortal Palace.
When practicing the Baleful Qi Attraction Skill, Zou Feng had mostly used this "big brother" to take the backlash. But Gongyang Marquis’s Realm was probably terrifyingly high, as the brightness of his name hadn’t dimmed at all.
The last "big brother" capable of withstanding the trauma of creating a Spirit Body was, of course, the newest entry on the list: Wang Rui of the Purple Cloud Association.
Of these three, the one most likely to cause trouble for him in the short term was undoubtedly Wang Rui of the Purple Cloud Association.
’Then there’s no need to even consider it. Of course, I’ll choose to strike first and gain the advantage.’
