Supreme Sword God

Chapter 463: Chapter 462: Aftermath of the Turmoil, Future Plans

Ye Chen’s face instantly lit up with excitement and said, ”Master Legs, does this mean I no longer have to worry about being poisoned by others in the future?”

Luo Qingyi chuckled softly.

Ye Chen’s heart sank halfway; he realized he might be overthinking it.

No wonder Master Legs only said his luck was good; it seemed this so-called poison immunity wasn’t anything special.

Master Legs said, ”Poison immunity merely means you have better resistance to poisons than ordinary people. Of course, some common poisons won’t affect you, but poison techniques, like cultivation, are vast and profound. If you encounter some powerful poison and think you’re invincible, then you’ll die quickly!

Unless you can turn poison immunity into a resistance to a thousand poisons, only then will you fear no poison in this world.

I once knew a guy who was immune to a thousand poisons; he tried countless poisons in his life and was fine, but he ultimately died from a fatal one he concocted himself.

If you can achieve immunity to ten thousand poisons, then congratulations, you’ll fear no poison in this world.”

Upon hearing Master Legs’ words, Ye Chen wasn’t too discouraged. Although poison immunity was somewhat mediocre, it meant he didn’t have to fear most poisons.

No complaints!

”Master Legs, how can one achieve immunity to a thousand poisons, or even ten thousand?”

”It all depends on fate, don’t think too much about it. If you continue to have such good luck, there’s a chance. For now, focus on refining this Hundred Poison Divine Bead.”

”Alright, let’s begin.” Ye Chen looked at Luo Qingyi and said, ”Elder Qingyi, don’t you have anything to say today?”

Luo Qingyi snorted and turned to leave.

Ye Chen scratched the back of his head, still unclear about what he had done to offend her again.

Master Legs chuckled, ”She’s still upset about the last time you forcefully sealed the Sword Tomb.”

Ye Chen: ”...”

Was it necessary?

It’s been so long!

Complicated woman!

Then, Ye Chen used his Droplet Sword Intent to form a piece of clean water, washing the Hundred Poison Divine Bead, and then used his Flame Sword Intent to conjure fire and burn it.

This thing had been hidden in the belly of the Soul-Devouring Poison Toad, and was just kicked around by Master Legs. It had to be cleaned up; otherwise, it was unsettling!

After the cleanup, Ye Chen held the Hundred Poison Divine Bead in his hand and began channeling his power to refine it!

Rays of light surged from the bead, entering Ye Chen’s body.

Within the light, there was a rather special energy.

This special energy was stored within Ye Chen’s flesh and bones and then slowly faded away.

Of course, they didn’t truly disappear; instead, they thoroughly merged with Ye Chen’s body, aiding him in resisting toxic substances in the future!

On the outside, both the True Martial Hall and Celestial Cyan City were in an uproar!

The Qi Family’s Qi Cultivator, although he made a mistake while executing a task for the True Martial Hall, the Qi Family couldn’t escape responsibility.

After all, the Qi Family was one of the controllers of Celestial Cyan City, and Qi Cultivator was a direct descendant. The Qi Family had to give an explanation to everyone in Celestial Cyan City for Qi Cultivator’s actions!

The eventual result was that Qi Cultivator’s father, Qi Shengjing, stepped down from his position as Patriarch!

The deceased Qi Cultivator was removed from the Qi Family’s ancestral records, denied burial in the family cemetery, and his corpse was left at the disposal of the True Martial Hall!

Tian Bugui’s method of disposal was simple; he threw Qi Cultivator’s corpse in front of the Qi Family’s gate.

The Qi Family immediately sent people to dispose of the body by feeding it to the dogs!

They didn’t want to do this, but they had no choice!

Because everyone from the True Martial Hall and Celestial Cyan City was watching the Qi Family’s reaction.

This outcome seemed to have no loss for the Qi Family, but in reality, its reputation plummeted irreparably!

As one of the controllers of Celestial Cyan City, the Qi Family was now on the brink of decline.

The collapse of any great edifice is always preceded by infamy!

The True Martial Hall also dealt with the matter internally!

Firstly: Effective immediately, the True Martial Hall will no longer recruit Qi Family disciples;

Secondly: The renowned Cold Frost Hall within the True Martial Hall has been disbanded, and both the Hall Master and Vice Hall Master were held accountable for inadequate oversight, and subsequently, they’re all sent to the most brutal battlefields with a three-year return ban!

Thirdly: A new rule was established; if anyone commits such acts while executing tasks, their relatives will be punished!

Apart from this, the Hall Master of Cangzhou True Martial Hall announced a series of rewards for Ye Chen.

Reward of one hundred thousand lower-grade spirit stones!

Promotion to Tier Four True Martial Guard!

Unlimited access to the Qing Leaf Grotto Heaven in the True Martial Hall for Ye Chen!

The reward regarding Qing Leaf Grotto Heaven was beyond everyone’s expectations and incited much envy!

It’s known that in Cangzhou True Martial Hall, even the Hall Masters of various branches can’t enter the Grotto Heaven for cultivation at will.

Even the always grumbling Tian Bugui kept quiet this time.

Although they knew that Shi Fengchun had long given Ye Chen the privilege to freely enter and exit the Qing Leaf Grotto Heaven, it was informal and could be revoked by Shi Fengchun anytime.

But now it’s different; it’s an officially announced decision, firmly established.

While refining the Hundred Poison Divine Bead in the Sword Tomb, Ye Chen went to see Su Yun.

Su Yun informed Ye Chen of the aftermath of the incident.

Ye Chen had no particular opinions about the result; it was within expectations.

Truth be told, if he hadn’t deliberately escalated the matter in front of the True Martial Hall’s grand hall, creating a big scene, it would have just been a minor affair.

But the only thing that made Ye Chen indignant was that Brother Chun, that crafty old man, shamelessly used Qing Leaf Grotto Heaven as a reward for him!

In the eyes of Old Tian and others, Shi Fengchun’s reward this time seemed generous enough, but Ye Chen knew better.

If he didn’t go to Qing Leaf Grotto Heaven, Brother Chun would certainly come begging him to go!

”Forget it, considering you almost got yourself killed in the Flame Desert to save me before, I won’t hold it against you this time,” Ye Chen muttered to himself, then looked at Su Yun and said, ”Hall Master Su, I apologize for any trouble I’ve caused Bright Hall this time.”

Su Yun quickly responded, ”You did nothing wrong, so there’s no need to say that. Honestly, we’re worried you might be dissatisfied with this outcome.”

Ye Chen smiled and said, ”I understand. The True Martial Hall is a large organization, and many matters inevitably involve various entanglements. You can’t root out all the bad apples at once, and even if you do, it’s impossible to catch them all in a single sweep.

At least this time, the True Martial Hall has shown an appropriate stance not just to me but to everyone who fights for the faith in the True Martial Hall, and that’s enough.”

Su Yun was quite relieved to hear Ye Chen say this and said, ”By the way, your progress in cultivation recently is impressive, but I’m a bit worried you might be advancing too fast. So, it’s best for you to hone your foundation in the Grotto Heaven, which is also the Hall Master’s suggestion.”

Ye Chen internally scoffed.

The old man wants him to cultivate? He really wants him to help fix the Grotto Heaven. Fat chance I’m going!

”Hall Master Su, I will manage my cultivation well. I have some things to deal with regarding my training, so I will take my leave now.”

The Hundred Poison Divine Bead hadn’t been fully refined, and the hunt from that realm was about to commence; time was pressing, and he had to speed up!
