Chung Shen-soo came back to his senses.
Under his palm, the Five Poison Sect disciple had become a dried corpse, to the point that even Yan Wushuang wouldn't be able to recognize him.
He looked at his hands and suddenly fell silent.
"I feel much better. The hunger in my body has also been alleviated … More importantly … my martial arts have improved greatly …"
After absorbing the Five Element Qi of others, the inner force in his body had improved again. It seemed like it was about to merge the five elements into one and break through the barrier of Blood Purification.
To a certain extent, this Five Poison Sect disciple was a 'spirit medicine' that had a better effect than ordinary people!
As for Chung Shen-soo, he understood a lot more after reversing the Five Element Thief Palm. "The barrier of Blood Purification isn't actually changing pure blood … Martial artists just change their blood, and that's it. There won't be any great improvement in their martial arts … So what they're changing is something more fundamental. Perhaps it's life force?"
After Blood Purification, a martial artist would widen the gap between them and ordinary martial artists. Their stamina and endurance would become incomparably long. They could go days without food and still be full of energy. They could also eat a cow every day … Only the change in life force could explain this situation.
"Blood Purification is a small change in life force. What is Marrow Refinement? Is it a change in the nature of life? Is that still human? "
Chung Shen-soo suddenly felt a great fear.
"In this martial world, there are many rumors of ghosts and monsters in remote areas. It's said that they eat people alive and are extremely cruel. Now that I look at it, although there aren't any monsters … maybe they're all martial artists who have gone mad …"
"Previously, I heard from Wei Baishu that although the Southern Ridge Song Family's Moth Sword is known as the best sword technique in the world, it's easy to change one's temperament after practicing it. There are even rumors that they like to eat raw meat and drink tree sap … I always thought it was nonsense. Now, it seems like it's not without reason … Maybe they all became … monsters?!"
"This is a f * cking terrifying world in the skin of the martial world, right? No wonder it was located by the aura of an evil god … "
Chung Shen-soo had thought it was strange that the evil god's aura left by Black Lotus would be located in an ancient traditional martial world.
Now, he finally understood that this was not a traditional martial world at all!
Instead, it was a treacherous Jianghu filled with strange martial arts!
"But there's nothing I can do even if I know. I'm not here to save the world …"
Chung Shen-soo collected his scattered thoughts and began to think about his own problem.
"I still have to continue practicing the Five Elements Thief Palm and break through the Blood Transfusion stage. Anyway, it's not my body, so it doesn't matter if I turn into a monster … Besides, there are so many martial artists on the Earth and Heaven Rankings, but they still look like humans. Maybe I'm just overthinking it."
"This palm technique, or perhaps the martial arts of this world, is a little strange. It's easy to go berserk. I need to pay attention to this aspect."
'Just now, after I stole the Five Element Qi from the Five Poison Cult's disciple, my impulses weakened by a lot, and I can control the abnormalities in my senses. Looks like I need to take some nourishment every once in a while to get rid of this negative influence. It's not a big deal. At most, I'll just find a few fellows who have committed heinous crimes and kill them every once in a while … "
This house was very remote and there didn't seem to be anyone around.
After causing such a commotion, no one actually came to watch.
This made things a little more convenient for Chung Shen-soo. He first searched the corpse and regretfully found that this Five Poison Cult disciple didn't have any martial arts secret manuals on him.
Instead, there were many bottles and jars filled with poisonous substances. There was even a bottle of Corpse Dissolving Water, which was specially used to destroy corpses and was extremely effective.
Chung Shen-soo didn't want to attract the attention of the authorities, so he directly moved Chen Jiu and the dried corpse together and dissolved them with the Corpse Dissolving Water.
When he saw that the two corpses had turned into pus, he burned the rest of the clothes and slowly left.
Not to mention the authorities in ancient times, even in modern times, if there was no corpse, they couldn't determine the death. The manpower and resources invested in the investigation would inevitably be reduced by more than half.
After doing all this, Chung Shen-soo climbed over the wall and left. He randomly found a small alley and walked on the streets in an ostentatious manner. He bought a few fried pancakes and ate them before returning to the Mountain Medicine Hall.
"Junior Xun."
Wei Hongyao looked at Chung Shen-soo and suddenly let out a sigh of relief. "I thought you were very strange just now. I almost thought you were sick."
"Haha, I'm as strong as an ox. How could I be sick?"
Chung Shen-soo made a small joke. Seeing that the Mountain Medicine Hall was already operating, he didn't want to add to the trouble and went to the backyard.
Wei Baishu wore a long silk robe and played with two walnuts in his hands. When he saw Chung Shen-soo, he coughed. "Liuyi, I have something I need to discuss with you …"
"What happened?"
Chung Shen-soo was a little surprised.
Now that the threat of the Five Poison Cult had been temporarily resolved, and the Mountain Medicine Hall was on good terms with the Jiuyuan Sect and the authorities.
"This matter isn't a big deal, but it's not a small one either. Our Mountain Medicine Hall's reputation has been established. Just like that, a few families want to send their children here to be apprentices."
If it wasn't for the fact that his family was well-off, he would have to find another way to make a living.
Becoming an apprentice in the Mountain Medicine Hall and learning a trade was naturally an excellent way out.
Even if they couldn't learn the trade, as long as they were willing to provide food, they could beat or scold them at will. The parents wouldn't say a word.
As for the wages? What was that?
But the Mountain Medicine Hall was different. It was half a martial arts sect and had its own martial arts inheritance.
Accepting apprentices was, in fact, accepting disciples.
Of course, he couldn't say that now, so he used the name of apprentice.
That was what Wei Baishu wanted to talk about. Otherwise, he could just hire a few people to do odd jobs. There was no need to discuss it with Chung Shen-soo, the number one expert.
"Have you checked their aptitude, Uncle-Master?"
Chung Shen-soo asked casually.
"Hehe … there are two good seeds. One is called Stonefeather, and the other is Lu Yang. Their muscles and bones have just grown, perfect for training …"
Wei Baishu played with the walnuts. "I have nothing better to do, so I can take on a disciple. How about you take on another one?"
"Is he trying to use the master-disciple relationship to tie me down?"
Chung Shen-soo saw through the old man's thoughts and thought to himself, "I'm afraid he'll betroth Wei Hongyao to me soon …"
But it wasn't a big deal, so he answered quickly, "Sure, Uncle-Master, you can choose first. I'll take the other one."
It wasn't a big deal to teach a disciple casually. In the beginning, he would throw in the Medicinal Sand Palm to build his foundation. When his temperament was good enough, he would teach him the Five Elements Thief Palm.
Of course, he could only teach him four chapters at most. Once the five elements were complete, it would be strange and not something an ordinary person could control.
If he taught a murderous demon, Chung Shen-soo would be embarrassed.
Thinking of this, he suddenly had a thought, "The Divine Constable Sect should know about these things, right? But they won't tell people who aren't on our side … Yan Wushuang thinks I can't complete the five elements, so she won't remind me … "
