Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 131 Dao Gu
Heart-eating bug!
This is a kind of poisonous insect that controls people.

Anyone infected with this poison must take the antidote regularly to relieve the symptoms, otherwise they will suffer from the pain of being eaten by the poison.

Even those with a will as strong as steel would find it difficult to resist.

Even if you use drugs or secret methods to cover up the pain, your brain will be eaten clean by the out-of-control heart-eating worms.

Cao Xiong was infected with this poison, but his outward appearance showed no abnormalities. It was obvious that he had become a puppet of the Five Poisons Sect.

When was he tricked?

Under the control of the Five Poisons Sect, how many things has Cao Xiong done to be disloyal to the sect over the years?

compare to.

It doesn't matter who killed him.

above the hall.

Pei Jingque's pretty face was gloomy and her beautiful eyes flashed with coldness.

Under the all-out investigation of the sect disciples, everything about Cao Xiong was uncovered.

"Cao Xiong!"

"He is currently forty-nine years old, the half-brother of inner sect disciple Cao Lei, and a congenital Qi cultivator who has broken through three orifices."

"Sister."

Shen You raised his head and said:

"Cao Lei is constantly on the road and only returns to the sect once every few years. Cao Xiong's affairs should have nothing to do with him."

"Yeah." Pei Jingque's expression remained unchanged.

"continue!"

"Yes." Shen You replied:
"Cao Xiong has very little talent for martial arts and is somewhat lazy. It was Cao Lei who gave him his own resources, which allowed him to achieve innate ability and join the sect."

"Although he lacks martial arts talent, he is skilled in management and prospecting. Thirteen years ago, the mine manager had an accident, and his replacement, a disciple, was discovered to have secretly hidden Iron Ore, and he was successfully promoted to manager."

"It seems now..."

"I'm afraid there was another reason for what happened back then. It's very likely that the Five Poison Sect helped him become the leader."

He paused and continued:

"For the past thirteen years, the mine's annual output has decreased compared to the previous year. While it may not seem like a large amount, it's a significant sum when you calculate it carefully."

"also……"

"We found out that he secretly purchased miners and hired people to mine, but the extra iron ore he mined went missing."

"Those miners were also quietly dealt with by Cao Xiong."

"..."

One thing after another that violated the sect's rules made Pei Jingque's face look increasingly cold.

Thirteen years!
How much resources belonging to the Dragon Head lineage did he embezzle?

Cao Xiong,

Damn!

"Someone looted the darkroom, but because of time constraints, they left a lot of things behind for us to find."

"From these clues, we can know that the Five Poison Sect, the Jie Xiu, and even several shops in the Xiao Family Market are all connected to Cao Xiong."

"even……"

Shen You sighed softly:
"Disciples from the Heavenly Sword and Flying Phoenix sects also privately purchased Iron Evil Stone from him at extremely low prices."

"Peng!"

The armrests were broken.

Pei Jingque stood up suddenly and shouted angrily:

"Too deceiving!"

It would have been fine if it was an outsider, but the fellow disciples of Mingxu Sect not only discovered this matter but also not only supervised and reported it, but also colluded with it.

"call……"

Pei Jingque's chest heaved, and his whole body was filled with energy. After a long while, he spoke in a muffled voice:
"Capture all the disciples involved, and leave the quotas for the Heavenly Sword and Flying Phoenix sects to the sect."

"And Cao Lei..."

"Senior Sister!" Shen You looked up:
"I've known Junior Brother Cao for decades, and I can guarantee that he has absolutely no idea what Cao Xiong has done."

"I know exactly who Cao Lei is." Pei Jingque's expression slowed down.

"He has always valued his reputation and would never allow his brother to make such a big mistake. However, it's not certain that he was completely unaware of the situation."

"Let him come back for investigation!"

"...Yes." Shen You sighed in his heart and could only agree helplessly.

"Report!"

At this time.

A man came running in hurriedly from outside.

"Brother Zhuang has received a report that someone is smuggling Iron Ore out of the mine. This means they have already engaged in combat."

"It's someone from the Five Poison Sect!"

"Five Poison Sect?" Pei Jingque's expression remained unchanged.

“It turns out to be fishing in troubled waters.”

"First, they disrupted the situation, and then smuggled the iron ore out of the mountain. They are tirelessly pursuing the iron ore."

"Junior Brother Zhuang..."

"I see."

Zhuang Loupan is the core disciple of the Longshou lineage. He has the ability to open up the six orifices and has several protective items left by his elders.

Even if facing a Qi-refining cultivator in the late innate stage, he can still defeat him.

So she wasn't worried at all.

The core true teachings will never betray the sect.

…………

soon.

The two walked into the hall.

"Outer sect disciple Xiao Bufan, greetings to Senior Sister Pei!"

Xiao Bufan is as handsome as his name suggests. Although he is dressed simply, his captivating aura cannot be concealed.

"Sister."

In comparison, Zhuang Loupan standing aside looked like an old farmer, and even though he was wearing gorgeous clothes, he still lacked elegance.

He clasped his hands together and said in a hoarse voice:

"I received a secret message from Junior Brother Xiao saying that someone was smuggling Iron Ore, so I quietly followed them."

"There were many omissions in mine management. It was my fault."

"Junior brother." Pei Jingque said slowly:
"The Mingxu Sect has moved thousands of miles to the Shiwan Mountains. Our foundation is unstable and the situation is difficult. We are all responsible."

“Without a foundation of Tao, there is no future.”

"Several of our core disciples are in seclusion, cultivating and improving their skills. This is a good thing, but it is inevitable that they will neglect external affairs."

She did not shirk responsibility for what happened today. The mine management was negligent and it was well known.

only.

Feeling powerless!

"Yes." Zhuang Loupan nodded.

"Zhuang will personally manage the mine over the next few years to sort out internal affairs and will never make such a mistake again."

"No." Pei Jingque shook his head:

"Junior brother has extraordinary talent and has the potential to establish a foundation in Taoism. Let's leave this matter to Junior Brother Shen." Upon hearing this, Zhuang Loupan looked up and looked at Shen You, whose expression remained unchanged, with a look of reluctance and guilt in his eyes.

Managing external affairs may seem like holding great power, but for those who practice cultivation, it means losing the possibility of moving forward.

Each of the core true disciples has the potential to establish a foundation in Taoism.

Shen You is giving up his own future for the sect.

"...Yes." Zhuang Loupan has never been good at speaking, so he could only sigh softly and then extended his hand to beckon:
"This Junior Brother Xiao is originally from Cao Xiong's group, but he remembers the sect's rules and regulations very carefully. He will report any problems immediately."

"His talent is not bad. If he hadn't received the inheritance when he was young, he wouldn't have achieved innate talent only now."

"Senior Sister." Xiao Bufan took out something and presented it:
"This is something I got from Cao Xiong. I don't know what it is, but I think it must be very important."

"otherwise……"

He smiled softly:
"Even if this thing is lost, Cao Xiong won't go crazy looking for it."

"Oh!" Pei Jingque raised his hand to take it, flipped it gently in his hand, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Zhu Ju had no idea what would happen after Cao Xiong's death or what kind of turmoil it would cause, nor did he intend to care.

His face was now filled with joy.

"No wonder the ancients said that a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot grow fat without night grass. It is truly true and I am not deceiving you!"

There are so many things in front of us. If we rely solely on hard work to accumulate them, it will take an indefinite amount of time to obtain them.

just now.

Just one adventure, and it's all his!
"Dozens of spirit stones, so many iron evil stones, and condensed evil spirits, Cao Xiong can be said to be Zhu's lucky star."

"This adventure is worth it!"

"what?"

When Zhu Ju saw some familiar-looking pills in the opened wooden box, he raised his eyebrows slightly and picked up one to examine it carefully.

"Hundred Poisons Body Tempering Pill!"

"It really is this thing. No wonder Cao Xiong, who is only at the level of breaking through the three orifices, has a nearly perfected Earthly Demon True Body."

After advancing to the innate realm, the effect of external objects on increasing cultivation and tempering the body will drop sharply.

Even though Zhu Ju consumed monster meat on a daily basis, there were no obvious changes.

The same is true for body-hardening drugs.

However, some elixirs have miraculous effects even in the innate realm, so such elixirs are naturally very valuable.

The Hundred Poisons Body Tempering Pill from the Five Poison Sect is one of them.

This pill has a miraculous effect in tempering the body, but it is expensive and scarce, and there are few shops selling it in the market.

nowadays.

There are more than ten pills in the wooden box!

"it is good!"

"very good!"

Zhu Ju couldn't help but clap his hands lightly:
"With these pills, my Earthly Demon True Body will be able to reach a minor level of success, and my strength will also be able to improve."

"Traveling in the world of magic, safety is more guaranteed."

The killing of Cao Xiong and others was largely due to the gains made in the world of magic.

The art of painting skin transformed him into 'Pei Jingque' to induce several people to give up their resistance, the art of hiding Yuan restrained his breath and was not afraid of subsequent investigation, the art of controlling souls released a hawk to patrol the surroundings to confirm that there was no one, and the art of controlling the soul with the sword achieved many remarkable feats.

On the contrary, the use of the art of summoning spirits becomes less and less as one's cultivation level improves and the power of the spirit and soul becomes stronger.

all in all.

If he didn't have the magic skills from the world of sorcery, there would be no way he could kill Cao Xiong and the others tonight, and even if he did, it would leave a lasting legacy.

With the help of magic, he achieved his goal without even using the limits of ghosts and gods.

"Hundred Poison Heart Sutra?"

"The first volume of the Gu Book?"

Sweeping aside the miscellaneous things and picking up two thick books, Zhu Ju raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Could it be that Cao Xiong still wants to practice the Five Poison Sect's techniques?"

soon.

He realized that he was overthinking.

There are Cao Xiong's handwriting on the book, from which it can be seen that he does not want to practice the inheritance of the Five Poisons Sect, but wants to find a way to detoxify it.

"It seems he is infected with a parasite and is under someone's control."

"Heart-eating Gu?"

Zhu Ju chuckled and shook his head:

"pity!"

"There's no antidote for this poison within the Five Poison Sect. He himself is desperate, so his handwriting has become illegible."

“Why is this highlighted here?”

The first volume of "The Insect Gu" records thirty-six kinds of poisonous insects, one of which was recently marked with a thick pen, making it particularly eye-catching.

"Dao Gu?"

"It's shaped like a pill that contains the energy of the Heavenly Gang. Taking it can boost your cultivation for a short period of time, but when you break through, you'll encounter Daoist evil. In the worst case, you'll die instantly, or go possessed and transform into a man-eating monster."

"Tian Gang?"

"breakthrough?"

"Enchanted!"

Zhu Ju frowned, vaguely feeling like something was connected, but he couldn't figure it out.

What is it?
"Om..."

suddenly.

A powerful energy came from not far away.

Zhu Ju jumped out of the room and saw a ray of starlight breaking through the dome and heading straight for the top of Longshou Mountain.

"This breath..."

"Pei Jingque!"

"She didn't just break through seven orifices, but she has already broken through eight orifices. She's hidden it very well."

Zhu Ju looked surprised, then frowned:
"But what could have caused her to rush to the mountaintop in such a hurry, even at the cost of exposing her true cultivation?"

"The top of the mountain?"

"There is……"

He raised his eyebrows:
"This is where Senior Brother Zhong Wenzhong is in seclusion!"

"It happened!"

"Dao Gu!"

A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind.

In an instant, everything was connected.

Ge Wen backstabbed, Pei Jingque was furious, the Five Poison Sect poisoned...

"Senior Brother Zhong Wen must have taken a Dao Gu. He thought it was a Dao-Yun Dan, but it was actually a poison from the Five Poison Sect. Senior Brother Ge Wen Ge must have been involved, which is why he was assassinated."

"Ugh!"

Zhu Ju's eyes were complicated:

"It's a troubled time for the Dragon Head lineage!"

If Zhong Wen fails to break through the foundation-building stage, the situation of the Dragon Head lineage will definitely become worse than it is now.

depending on the situation,
It is impossible to succeed.
