Chapter 365 Saint-Level Secondary Job Card
Gu Santong muttered, "Your poison is too strange! And it even has such a requirement?"

Then Gu Santong asked, "Since you're going to poison him, why not use something stronger? That would save us the risk of fighting this guy."

Gu Shaoan shook his head and said, "Although there are many kinds of poisons in the world, martial artists at the Celestial Realm can already draw upon the power of heaven and earth. Their ability to sense and expel poison is unmatched by ordinary people. Ordinary poisons are almost useless to martial artists at the Celestial Realm."

"Therefore, only medicines like Blood Seed Bodhi can be effective against martial artists in the Celestial Realm."

"Otherwise, if any kind of poison could harm these Celestial Realm martial artists, wouldn't forces like the Tang Clan or the Five Poisons Sect have already dominated the martial world?"

Gu Santong thought for a moment, then nodded: "That makes sense."

Then, Gu Santong activated his internal energy, grabbed the veil of the unconscious Tu Baichuan on the ground, and sucked it into his hand.

Seeing Tu Baichuan lying on the ground unable to move, but still staring at the two of them with bloodshot eyes, Gu Santong clicked his tongue twice.

"Do you think this guy might have been sent by Zhu Houzhao?"

Gu Shaoan shook his head and said, "If they wanted to attack us, they would have done it last night. There was no need to wait until today to send people over."

"Moreover, Zhu Houzhao's premature aging disease has not been resolved, so it is impossible for him to make a move against me now."

Gu Santong asked, "This guy is a Celestial Realm cultivator in the palace, not Zhu Houzhao. Is there anyone else who can command this guy?"

Gu Shaoan did not rush to respond, but instead stepped forward and squatted down in front of Tu Baichuan.

As he raised his right hand and it emerged from his wide sleeve, several silver needles appeared in Gu Shaoan's hand.

After inserting silver needles into several acupoints on Tu Baichuan's head to temporarily seal Tu Baichuan's spiritual energy, Gu Shaoan closed his eyes and mobilized his internal energy and spiritual energy using the "Soul Transfer Technique".

When he opened his eyes, they were glowing purple.

After using the power of the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" to pull Tu Baichuan up from the ground, in Gu Shaoan's purple pupils, the fierce aura in the blood-red eyes of Tu Baichuan slightly subsided, and his expression quickly became blank.

Seeing this, Gu Shaoan asked, "What is the purpose of your visit today?"

When asked by Gu Shaoan, Tu Baichuan replied blankly, "I'll cripple your martial arts."

Gu Shaoan raised his chin slightly and squinted his eyes.

Following this, through a question-and-answer session, Gu Shaoan and Gu Santong also learned the reason why Tu Baichuan had approached Gu Shaoan.

It turned out that the reason was because they overheard Zhu Houzhao and others talking last night. They felt that Gu Shaoan's talent was too high, and that if Gu Shaoan's strength continued to improve, he would become the second Zhang Sanfeng, which would make the court worry.

After a few moments of contemplation, Gu Shaoan asked again, "Does Zhu Houzhao know about this matter?"

Tu Baichuan was stunned and said, "Your Majesty thought I had set off for Shaolin first and was unaware of this."

After hearing this, Gu Santong sneered, "It's really a case of the emperor not being worried but the eunuch being anxious. Zhu Houzhao hasn't even thought of making a move against you, but the dogs around him are already acting on their own."

Gu Shaoan said softly, "This is what I told you before at the gate of Shuoyang Mansion. Sometimes, the people who need to be most wary of are not the masters, but the little devils around them."

Gu Santong asked, "So what do you plan to do with this person?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoan looked down at Tu Baichuan, whose expression was still blank, and narrowed his eyes, saying, "We've already come this far. To keep him alive would be tantamount to releasing a tiger back into the mountains."

Gu Shaoan never underestimates anyone. Even the most ordinary roadside vendor might become the last straw that breaks the camel's back at a certain time.

Not to mention experts like Tu Baichuan who are at the Celestial Realm.

Guilt is fleeting, while condemnation lasts for a while.

The only thing that lasts a lifetime is worry.

If Tu Baichuan is let go, Gu Shaoan will have no peace of mind.

Therefore, in Gu Shaoan's eyes, there was only one way to deal with Tu Baichuan.

Sensing the killing intent emanating from Gu Shaoan, Gu Santong pondered for a moment before suddenly speaking, "What do you think about me absorbing his power?"

Gu Shaoan turned his head to look at Gu Santong, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"you sure?"

Meeting Gu Shaoan's gaze, Gu Santong shrugged and said, "I thought about it carefully when you said it before. Although I absorbed fewer people using the 'Absorption Technique,' my internal strength and energy are not as good as Zhu Tiedan and Zhu Houzhao, but it's not without its advantages. At least my energy and strength are pure."

"Now that my Qi and Blood Seed has been condensed, if I can absorb this guy's power and essence, there is a 50% chance that I can successfully take this opportunity to enter the Celestial Realm."

"Even if I can't reach the Celestial Realm by then, if I only absorb his essence, energy, and spirit, it will take at most ten years to completely integrate the absorbed essence, energy, and spirit with my own body. At that time, I will be able to continue to condense the Three Flowers of Essence, Energy, and Spirit."

"No matter how you calculate it, it's a win-win situation."

Gu Shaoan lowered his eyes to look at Tu Baichuan on the ground.

Zhang Sanfeng once said that Tu Baichuan was about the same age as Zhang Sanfeng, and his internal energy was also a hundred years old.

Even after absorbing the "Absorption Technique," Gu Santong could only obtain half of it, but he could still obtain half of its essence, energy, and spirit.

Not to mention that he was also able to take advantage of the situation to master all the martial arts that Tu Baichuan knew.

All things considered, it's definitely not a bad deal.

Most importantly, if Gu Santong can truly reach the Celestial Realm, the Emei Sect and Gu Shaoan will have another trump card.

Thinking of this, Gu Shaoan nodded, then reached into his pocket and handed a pill to Gu Santong.

"What is this?"

Gu Shaoan tilted his head and gestured, "His blood and qi are currently filled with the poison of the Blood Seed Bodhi. If you don't take the antidote, I'm worried that the poison will kill you before you've even finished absorbing your internal energy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Santong immediately shuddered.

"Damn it, I almost forgot this guy is a poisoner."

As he spoke, Gu Santong circulated his internal energy and opened his mouth to suck the pill into his mouth.

Gu Shaoan took a step back.

Upon seeing this, Gu Santong immediately stepped forward, knelt down in front of Tu Baichuan, and placed one hand on Tu Baichuan's dantian.

Once the internal energy of Tu Baichuan circulated according to the energy flow path of the "Absorption Technique," his internal energy, essence, and spirit were all absorbed into Gu Santong's body at an extremely fast speed.

Half an hour later, as Gu Shaoan waited, a surge of energy suddenly erupted from Gu Santong's body.

As the air surged, a unique energy began to swirl around Gu Santong.

In Gu Shaoan's perception, besides the power of Qi and blood, there was also spiritual energy surrounding Gu Santong.

Prior to today, Gu Santong had not condensed a divine seed, nor had he cultivated any martial arts related to spiritual energy.

The next instant, strands of the power of heaven and earth began to be drawn from the surroundings and then circled around Gu Santong.

"Done?"

Sensing the gathered power of heaven and earth, Gu Shaoan's eyes flashed.

But the next second, Gu Santong's body trembled violently. His aura suddenly became chaotic.

The power of heaven and earth that had just surrounded Gu Santong also quietly drifted away at this moment.

After waiting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Gu Santong, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, finally opened his eyes again and shook his head at Gu Shaoan.

"It's still a little short."

Faced with this scene, Gu Shaoan also sighed.

He immediately comforted her, saying, "After all, it's the Celestial Realm. If it were so easy to enter, there wouldn't be so few Celestial Realm warriors in the martial world now."

Upon hearing Gu Shaoan's words, Gu Santong nodded and quickly adjusted his mindset.

After Gu Santong got up and walked to the side, Gu Shaoan flicked his finger and used his strength to pierce Tu Baichuan's forehead.

[Congratulations to the player for defeating a Celestial Realm martial artist! Achievement Points +1000, Special Achievement Chest *1]

The moment Tu Baichuan was killed, a notification popped up in front of Gu Shaoan's eyes.

Looking at the message, Gu Shaoan chuckled to himself.

"As expected of a martial artist at the Celestial Realm, I even received an achievement treasure chest after solving the problem."

After ignoring the notification, Gu Shaoan reached into his robes again and pulled out a pill bottle.

He pulled out the stopper and poured a few drops of the light blue liquid onto Tu Baichuan's corpse.

Immediately afterward, in Gu Santong's view, as these drops of medicine fell onto Tu Baichuan's body, Tu Baichuan's corpse began to dissolve rapidly as if it had been doused with sulfuric acid, bringing with it a cloud of blood-red smoke.

In less than a hundred breaths, Tu Baichuan's body was completely dissolved, leaving only his clothes on the ground.

Seeing this, Gu Santong couldn't help but stare in surprise at the medicine bottle in Gu Shaoan's hand.

"Good heavens, what kind of poison is this? It's so potent that it can dissolve a corpse so quickly?"

Gu Shaoan said calmly, "Corpse-dissolving water, specifically used for treating corpses."

As he spoke, Gu Shaoan reached into his robes again and, with a thought, put the bottle containing the corpse-dissolving liquid back into his system inventory.

Immediately, he turned his wrist and pressed down, and the Yin and Yang energies, along with the Gang Yuan, pulled up Tu Baichuan's clothes on the ground, then shredded and scattered them.

A master of the Celestial Realm, at this very moment, has vanished without a trace in these mountains.

Not even a trace of ashes remained.

After erasing Tu Baichuan's body, Gu Shaoan looked at Gu Santong.

"After absorbing Tu Baichuan's corpse, you also learned his 'Three Blades of Avici Hell'?"

Gu Santong nodded and said, "After a little familiarization, I will also be able to master it to the level of 'smooth and perfect'."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoan shook his head and said, "This martial art requires one's own killing intent and desire as fuel. The deeper one masters it, the easier it is to go astray. Besides, Uncle Gu, you don't use a knife, so there's no need for you to practice this martial art."

"Otherwise, if problems arise, even I might not be confident that I can cure them."

Any problem involving the mind or spirit is particularly difficult to deal with.

Even with Gu Shaoan's master-level medical skills, treating some difficult and complicated diseases involving the mind and spirit is still quite challenging.

Not to mention the problem of going astray in martial arts like the "Three Blades of Avici Hell" and having one's mind and spirit devoured by killing intent. Gu Shaoan felt a headache just thinking about it, let alone trying to treat it.

Unless Gu Shaoan's medical skills can be improved to the "master level", or there is a special method to deal with the side effects of martial arts such as "Three Knives of Avici", even Gu Shaoan would not dare to touch these things easily.

Gu Santong said, "Don't worry! I have a wife and children now. I wouldn't touch such evil martial arts even if you hadn't told me."

Gu Shaoan nodded, and then set off with Gu Santong.

While using his lightness skill to travel, Gu Shaoan opened the special achievement treasure chest he had just acquired.

A few breaths later, a series of notification messages popped up in front of Gu Shaoan.

Congratulations to the player for obtaining the Secondary Class Card (Master Level)

Congratulations to the player for obtaining 1 Medicine King Pill!

Congratulations to the player for obtaining 1 Martial Arts Enlightenment Card

"Ok?"

Gu Shaoan's expression changed slightly as he looked at the three notification messages that popped up in front of him.

The last "Martial Arts Enlightenment Card" enabled Gu Shaoan to forcefully create the "Emei Sword Manual," a martial art that even Zhang Sanfeng marveled at, by reaching the internal energy realm of Qi Condensation.

To put it bluntly, without the Emei Sword Manual, Gu Shaoan's strength, while still far exceeding that of his peers, would never have been able to achieve what he has today: defeating a Celestial Realm martial artist like Tu Baichuan by using the Condensing Yuan Qi technique.

Even if Tu Baichuan might just be the weakest among those in the Celestial Realm.

After several years, Gu Shaoan has once again obtained the "Martial Arts Enlightenment Card". If he uses it well, Gu Shaoan's strength will surely be able to improve to another level.

Yaowangdan, on the other hand, is a special kind of medicine.

After taking it, even if the heart meridian is completely severed or the person has been dead for no more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the injury can be fully restored.

Its effects are even better than those of Tianxiang Doukou.

It is absolutely a life-saving medicine in critical moments.

However, compared to the Medicine King Pill and the "Martial Arts Enlightenment Card," what Gu Shaoan valued even more was the Sub-Profession Card that would allow him to acquire a new sub-profession.

Upon seeing the words "Master Level" in the notification message, even Gu Shaoan's eyes flickered involuntarily.

According to Gu Shaoan, any secondary profession that reaches the master level can be described as "transcendent" and "turning decay into magic".

Its power is self-evident.

In terms of function and value, it is in no way inferior to Gu Shaoan's battle with Tu Baichuan today, which allowed him to further improve his "Emei Sword Manual" and reach the level of "transforming the domain with intention".

This is why Gu Shaoan has been thinking that after things settle down with the Azure Dragon Society, he will increase the time he spends providing free medical consultations in Jiading Prefecture every month, so as to improve his medical skills to the level of a master as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, the treasure chest obtained from killing Tu Baichuan this time actually gave me a new Saint-level secondary job card.

"We've made a fortune!"

Even Gu Shaoan felt a surge of emotions as he faced the three rewards that appeared in the box.

Even while traveling, I felt the wind blowing in front of me became a bit noisier.
