Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 113: Chapter 71: Power of Yin Fiend (Part 3)

Not long after, the aroma of grilled fish wafted through the air.

Even though Lin Zheyu had just eaten, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

”Ah~ Huff~”

Eating the freshly cooked grilled fish, the taste was wonderful.

The fish was tender and juicy, with a hint of charcoal fragrance, rivaling the skills of a tavern chef.

”Your cooking skills are amazing!” Lin Zheyu praised.

”I’ve been grilling for over ten years; gradually, I’ve honed my skills,” Mr. Chen replied with a smile.

After the meal.

Mr. Chen asked, ”Speak up, what problem have you encountered?”

”Well, recently I acquired some poisons and can’t discern what they are. I’d like you to take a look.”

Lin Zheyu took out various poison powders, medicine pills, and several jade bottles from his pouch.

”These things must be gotten by killing and looting?” Mr. Chen glanced at him.

”Picked them up, found all of them along the way,” Lin Zheyu lied blatantly.

Chen Peijun rolled his eyes, ignored him, and started identifying the poison powders and pills.

”This one is purple sea buckthorn, an anesthetic; inhaling a bit causes a blurry consciousness and coma, with little effect on Martial Artists, easily detected, and its onset is slow.”

”This is Soul Reviving Powder, extremely toxic; after poisoning, breathing becomes rapid, within seven steps blood flows from the seven orifices, causing instant death. Even Qi Blood Realm martial artists can’t withstand if inhaled too much.”

”This is Golden Lotus Fragrance, used as bait to attract Red Lotus Spiders...”

”...”

”Who did you rob to have such premium goods?”

”These poisons aren’t easy to buy; most are from the Zhao Family and without some connections can’t be bought,” Chen Peijun asked curiously.

”Uh-huh, killed a Zhao Family member,” Lin Zheyu said.

”Impressive, acting so quickly!”

Chen Peijun showed a surprised expression, a bit taken aback.

He hadn’t placed much hope on Lin Zheyu.

Over the years, he’d hired many to assassinate, none were successful. This young fellow, though gifted, probably couldn’t do it.

What decided him to teach him initially was partly due to Mr. Wu and Liang Song, but mainly because he’d listened to Lin Zheyu’s storytelling for so long and found him pleasing.

But unexpectedly, within a few days, this lad brought him a surprise.

”Well then, anything promised to you, I’ll strive to fulfill.”

Lin Zheyu said, patting his chest, without flushing or breathlessness.

”Good, work hard in the future.”

”Important things from Zhao Family members are marked. You’ve dealt with them, right?” Chen Peijun said.

”Yes, handled it,” Lin Zheyu said.

”That’s right, when facing the Zhao Family, one must be cautious, otherwise there’s a chance of being discovered and retaliated against.”

Chen Peijun said, continuing to identify the remaining poisons and pills.

There were many poisons, quite a few lethal ones, three were deadly to Qi Blood Realm’s.

After poisoning, toxins flow with qi blood throughout the body, the fiercer the battle, the quicker the death.

Fortunately, Lin Zheyu was cautious enough in the past; otherwise, even after killing that old man, a slight mistake could have him poisoned.

”Thank you, senior.”

”Here’s another bottle of poison powder, please take a look.”

Lin Zheyu put the marked poison powder and pills away, and took out the jade bottle containing Yin Sha poison.

Chen Peijun took the jade bottle, opened the stopper, sniffed gently, his eyes slightly concentrating.

”Corpse poison!”

”This is a rare item, only a slight chance of appearing in thousand-year-old tombs, where did you get corpse poison?” Chen Peijun asked seriously.

”Corpse poison?”

”Isn’t this Yin Sha poison?”

Lin Zheyu asked in surprise, thinking this was Yin Sha poison.

Corpse poison and Yin Sha poison are two different things, though corpse poison is also very toxic, it is considered top grade among poisons.

But compared to Yin Sha poison, it falls short by more than one level.

”If this was Yin Sha poison, you’d be dead outside by now.”

Chen Peijun shook his head.

”I found this in Beast Roar Mountain, where live corpses appeared, these were found where the live corpses appeared.”

Lin Zheyu said.

”Live corpses, didn’t expect them to appear again.”

”During chaotic times, there must be evil spirits, armies rise, civilians suffer, even these live corpses started causing trouble.”

Chen Peijun lamented.

He’s lived all his life, never seen live corpses, only heard from the elderly in his family.

”Senior, if this is corpse poison, what then is Yin Sha poison, have you seen it?” Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

”Haven’t seen.”

”When I was a child, heard elders in the village mention Yin Sha poison is a form of energy, similar to Qi Blood energy of martial artists, it is energy in live corpses.”

”More accurately, it’s Yin Sha power, due to its inherent toxicity, it’s called Yin Sha poison.”

”This energy is extremely mysterious, active, after entering the body, seems to have consciousness, actively corroding the body.”

”The corpse poison is generated after being eroded by Yin Sha power.”

Chen Peijun said, ”More, I do not know; ancestral records only document this much.”

”Thanks for clarifying, senior.”

Lin Zheyu thanked, putting away the bottle containing corpse poison.

Corpse poison is documented in the Poison Canon, its usage is also listed, it’s one of the primary ingredients in several lethal poisons.

One poison is named Corpse Worm Elixir, similar to the Three Corpses Brain Worm Elixir from the previous life, can be used to control subordinates.

Every period, the poison affects, causing myocardium throbbing pain, whole body like being gnawed by tens of thousands of insects, itching unbearably.

”The pill Xing Penghai took out might be similar to Corpse Worm Elixir?” Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

Actually, such method of controlling people has its drawbacks, if the poison is known, finding a detox method can break free from control.

For Corpse Worm Elixir, complete detox requires finding a plant called Cyan Mysterious Grass, and combining it with several herbs to refine an Antitoxic Elixir, taken continuously for seven days, for complete detoxification.

But whether corpse poison or Cyan Mysterious Grass, both are extremely difficult to find.

”Aside from these, any other issues?” Chen Peijun asked, sipping tea.

”Yes, there are.”

Lin Zheyu took out the Poison Canon, with a piece of paper inside, documenting issues he encountered in recent days.
