Chapter 278: Chapter 278: The Poison Battle - Part 1
"With my father not around, do you think you can just trample upon the Valley of Thousand Poisons at will?"
Ji Wuque struggled to contain his anger as he held the Fan of Life and Death, taking steps towards them.
He glared at Qin Feng and threatened, "Return the Spiritual Medicine to its original state right now, and I might spare your lives. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude! If I make a move, you’ll all have to die!"
"How would you like me to die?" Qin Feng asked.
"In the Valley of Thousand Poisons, we have a rule: if you want to take Spiritual Medicine from here, you must duel with me in poison, and you must win!"
Ji Wuque knew that if it came to a fight, he couldn’t beat Qin Feng. Therefore, he planned to use his expertise in poison to kill Qin Feng directly!
However, Ji Wuque wouldn’t kill Qin Feng right away.
Because he had already seen that Qin Feng had the Heaven Yang Physique, and if he killed him directly, the once-in-a-millennium Heaven Yang Physique would be wasted.
So he prepared to use poison to control Qin Feng, to make him completely at his mercy.
Apart from Qin Feng, Xue Xiaochan was also his target.
A woman with the Heaven Yin Physique, and an extremely beautiful one at that.
Since she had come to the Valley of Thousand Poisons, how could he let her leave so easily?
Seeing that Qin Feng remained silent for a while, Ji Wuque’s face was filled with scorn as he said, "What’s the matter? Don’t tell me you’re a coward, too scared to duel me in poison?"
"Scared? Haha!" Qin Feng smiled slightly and said, "Of all things, I may lack size, but not courage. It’s just a poison duel, what would I be afraid of?"
"Good! Then follow me!"
Ji Wuque led the way ahead.
Within the Valley of Thousand Poisons, there was a Wuhuan Stockade where those who trespassed never returned.
Wuhuan Stockade was a large fortress housing over ten thousand people, home to both the Ji Family and their servants.
Reincarnation Village was the Black Dragon God Monarch’s independent kingdom; similarly, Wuhuan Stockade was the independent kingdom of the Ji Family.
The Spiritual Medicine that grew throughout the Valley of Thousand Poisons was gathered by the residents of the Wuhuan Stockade, specifically the Ji Family’s servants.
Gathering herbs, making medicine, all the dirty and exhausting work was carried out by those servants.
As for the members of the Ji Family, they were all supervisors, their only job was to manage these servants effectively.
As they were about to reach Wuhuan Stockade, Xue Xiaochan suddenly grabbed Qin Feng, brought her mouth close to his ear, and mischievously teased, "So you’re aware that you’re not ’big’ everywhere? You really do know yourself!"
This woman’s antics had Qin Feng completely baffled.
Regaining his composure, he countered, "That’s because you’re insatiable."
"I’ll beat you to death, you indecent man!"
"Who knows who’s really indecent?"
"You still dare accuse me? See if I don’t use the ’Xuanhuang Medical Classic’ to sort you out!"
Having said that, Xue Xiaochan began to mumble an incantation under her breath.
She intentionally picked a quarrel, having suddenly grasped a section of Scripture while they were walking, and now she wanted to try it out on Qin Feng to see if it was effective.
The reason she wanted to give it a try was that this particular scripture would not have much impact on Qin Feng.
Strange notes, one after another, entered Qin Feng’s ears.
Then his body began to change. It wasn’t his whole body changing.
After Xue Xiaochan finished reciting the scripture, Qin Feng used Heaven’s Gaze to observe,
"How does it feel? Do you notice anything?" Xue Xiaochan asked curiously.
Because she didn’t possess Heaven’s Gaze, she couldn’t see for herself.
"What feeling? I don’t feel anything!"
How could Qin Feng dare to admit it?
"No feeling? How is there no feeling? Could it be that the ’Xuanhuang Medical Classic’ I learned is not right? You should feel something, shouldn’t you?"
This tigress, Xue Xiaochan, rarely second-guessed herself.
She was amused.
"Pfft..."
She even laughed, and what a happy laugh it was.
"You still have the nerve to laugh?"
"Of course, I do! The ’Xuanhuang Medical Classic’ is really useful. From now on, I’ll just use it like this. Every time you go out, I’ll recite that passage from before.
Once you’ve changed into this, I’ll be reassured and won’t have to worry about you messing around with other women after you go out."
"Is that how you use the ’Xuanhuang Medical Classic’? Change me back quickly."
"Change back? But how can I change you back if I haven’t learned that yet? I’ll change you back after I figure out how."
This answer from Xue Xiaochan left Qin Feng extremely speechless.
He didn’t know if this woman was serious or just joking. But after all, he knew exactly who was to blame.
Qin Feng found Princess Huahua and shouted at her, "Hua, this is your doing! Hurry up and teach this woman, teach her how to change me back?"
"I only teach; how much she can learn is up to her enlightenment. If one day she figures it out, she will be able to change you back."
"And if she doesn’t figure it out?"
"She is the wife you chose; you have only yourself to blame. If you can’t change back, it’s her own problem to be anxious about, isn’t it?"
Princess Huahua’s words weren’t entirely unreasonable.
With the Yang Scroll of the ’Xuanhuang Medical Classic,’ Qin Feng had acquired so much but still had many parts he couldn’t grasp! The parts he did grasp could barely make up one percent.
As for Xue Xiaochan, the content of her Yin Scroll was probably no simpler than that of the Yang Scroll. And how long had she had it?
"Don’t use it haphazardly if you haven’t learned how to undo it!" Qin Feng scolded Xue Xiaochan.
"You dare to scold me? Believe it or not, I’ll recite that spell again."
"Recite it again, and it’ll be gone."
"Gone then gone, I’m not using it right now anyway. When I need it one day, I’ll study carefully how to revert it."
"You..."
"What about me? Am I not right? It was mine to begin with; I can do whatever I want with it."
"You’re right, whatever you do is right."
Qin Feng was frightened by this woman.
After learning about the function of the Yin Scroll, he felt deeply uneasy. Now, with Xiaochan meddling like this, his unease grew even stronger.
Although ’a clean hand wants no washing’, his hand was not so clean!
Xue Xiaochan couldn’t be bothered with Qin Feng anymore, she continued to ponder over the ’Xuanhuang Medical Classic’.
Just now, she had an epiphany and suddenly understood that part of the scripture. As for how to undo it, she truly had no clue.
So, although she said she wouldn’t undo it for Qin Feng, her mind was already racing, trying to figure out how to.
Just at that moment, Qin Feng suddenly realized that after Xiaochan had played a trick on him, one of his acupoints was blocked.
The Xuanhuang Qi in his Dantian was in disarray due to the blockage, and he was having trouble controlling it.
