Chapter 2057: Chapter 2057 Big Fish
Ye Liuyun learned through Liu Xing that the major source of Murong Tian’s income came from several families around Northsky Sect.
Previously, Murong Tian had taken Liu Xing’s advice, first sending people to harass those families. Then, presenting himself as the sect’s sacred disciple, he helped solve their problems. He would regularly collect a protection fee or share in their business profits each month.
These people were all deceived and considered him to be their saviour.
Having fully understood Murong Tian’s situation, Ye Liuyun had a grasp of his strategy. It would be much easier to deal with him in the future.
He also planned to cut off Murong Tian’s source of funds. Liu Xing had orchestrated this situation, and Ye Liuyun wanted him to rectify it. He planned on clearing things up with the families, showing them the true colours of Murong Tian.
Many actions were executed hiddenly by Liu Zimo and Xing Baiyu. If possible, they could directly remove this two henchmen of his.
Ye Liuyun kept his clone, Xenocide, Vespera and Scorch back into his spatial world as he waited for Liu Xing to regain consciousness. Li Jian was dismissed earlier by Ye Liuyun.
Soon, the poison erupted in his body, and he woke up from the illusion due to the pain.
"What happened?" Liu Xing calmed down and looked at Ye Liuyun.
Seeing his face, he quickly realized that it was Ye Liuyun who had poisoned him.
"You poisoned me? Why?" Liu Xing asked in confusion. He couldn’t recall any grudges with Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun did not explain, but instead described the characteristics of the Multi Poison Powder.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xing began to sweat with fear. He was not only worried about detoxification, but also about the pain in his internal organs, which he could not suppress even with his genuine energy.
"What do you want me to do?" He squinted his eyes.
Ye Liuyun casually pulled out an elixir.
"Relax. This elixir can help you go through the next month. From now on, you can just come and get the antidotes from me every month in exchange for your services.
Take this first, go back and find someone to ask if there is a way to detoxify. If what I said is right, then come look for me again.
I believe you are a smart person that won’t seek your own death."
After hearing that, Liu Xing didn’t immediately reach for the antidote. He still wanted to see if he could endure it.
Seeing this, Ye Liuyun laughed, took back the elixir and waited for him to come begging him.
Before long, Liu Xing couldn’t bear it. There was excruciating pain everywhere in his body, even while suppressing it with his genuine energy he was trembling all over.
"Fine, I agree to your terms, give me the antidote!" Liu Xing finally uttered.
But Ye Liuyun just kept drinking tea, paying him no mind.
"You..." Liu Xing knew that Ye Liuyun was intentionally making things difficult for him.
By now, the poison in his body had started to spread to his virtuoso. His genuine energy suddenly became hard to control.
With a scream, Liu Xing yelled out loud.
When his genuine energy suddenly stopped circulating, and the intense pain in his body exploded, he couldn’t help but roll around in pain, howling non-stop.
Ye Liuyun, however, remained unmoved, coldly watching him.
It wasn’t until Liu Xing constantly begged Ye Liuyun, pleaded bitterly, that he finally threw the antidote on the ground.
By this time, Liu Xing was almost convulsing. It took him a Herculean effort to even reach out and grab the elixir. It still took him a while to recover after he swallowed it down.
Liu Xing stood up, turning to Ye Liuyun and asked, "What kind of grudge do you have against me to resort to such a ruthless method?"
Seeing Liu Xing still speaking to him in this manner, Ye Liuyun knew that he was still not fully convinced.
He did not reveal any information; he just smiled and said, "Leave, come back when you’ve figured it all out."
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll report to my master, or that I’ll find someone to deal with you?" Liu Xing hadn’t expected Ye Liuyun to let him go so easily.
Ye Liuyun only laughed, "I just arrived at the Sect, I don’t even know you. How could I poison you? Who would believe it if you said it out loud? Do you have any evidence? At best, you can only suspect me. But for you, you’re about to die!
Besides, the things you’ve done are enough for the Sect to kill you hundreds of times! I wonder who would be the first between us to die!
As for finding someone to deal with me, if you’re capable, then go ahead. As long as you think about the consequences, you can do it!"
Ye Liuyun was really not bothered by his threat. No matter what action Liu Xing would take, he will definitely need to make sure that he can detoxify himself first.
Liu Xing decided to go back and think about it first. The situation happened too abruptly, he was unprepared for it.
Ye Liuyun did not stop him and let him go right away.
After he left, Ye Liuyun casually picked up his teacup, thinking about when to send the elixirs to Li Xingrou.
He had only met her today, it might seem too eager if he hurried off immediately. It would probably be better to wait a few days to see if she would come to find him.
Hua Xiangyuan then began to play some music again, but she didn’t use any illusions this time.
Ye Liuyun shared a smile with her, letting her be, and gave himself a moment to relax.
In the following days, besides practising in his room, he spent the rest of his time studying alchemy with Jin Qingsong, accompanied by Lin Luoyi and Lin Xiyao.
Under his guidance, he was soon able to concoct a top-quality sixth-grade elixir. He estimated that it wouldn’t be long before he could refine a seventh-grade.
Ye Liuyun had an advantage in refining elixir. His flame and divine soul power were both strong. So there was no need to wait until his realm reached the seventh level to refine one.
One day, while Ye Liuyun was cultivating, he suddenly received a message from Li Jian. It turned out that Li Xingrou had come to him, asking him to show her the way to Ye Liuyun for the Pill.
"The big fish has taken the bait!”
Ye Liuyun immediately came out of the Xuankong Stone and notified Azure and Hua Xiangyuan.
As soon as Li Jian brought Li Xingrou to knock on the door, Azure ran out to open the door, followed behind by Liger, releasing a sense of oppression.
Although Li Jian had warned Li Xingrou in advance, she was still scared by the beast.
Azure turned around and patted its head, asking it to restrain itself.
"Mr. Jian, are you here to see my master? This lady is..." Azure knowingly asked.
"Just tell Chen Feng that Li Xingrou has come to find him for the Youth Preserving Pill!” Li Jian helped Li Xingrou to respond.
"Alright, I’ll inform him. Please have a seat in the hall. Don’t stand outside, or I’ll be expecting a lecture from him!" Azure directly invited them into the living room.
Ye Liuyun also immediately followed Azure and greeted Li Xingrou.
"Why did you have to come yourself? A simple message would do!" Said Ye Liuyun politely.
"Hmph! I wouldn’t even have a chance to see you if I don’t! Did you forget about the pill you promised me?" Li Xingrou, who just had a jumpscare from Liger, said a little disgruntled.
"Of course not! They’re ready long ago! It’s just that I’ve been busy making elixir most of the time, so I forgot to deliver it to you!" Ye Liuyun quickly apologised as he handed over a box to Li Xingrou.
