142: How blind is this?

“Hmm, I believe Martial Skills have no inherent good or evil. What truly distinguishes good from evil is the Heart-Nature of the user. If he uses a Martial Skill for good, then that Martial Skill is good; otherwise, it is evil. Of course, those Martial Skills that require very sinister and bloody methods to Cultivate are another matter!” Mr. Long said.

“Your subordinate understands! Young Lord, rest assured, this Hundred Poison Palm of your subordinate uses the toxicity of medicinal herbs to aid in Cultivation, and your subordinate has also prepared an antidote...”

“Good! Next, you may need to prepare more Hundred Poison Powder. However, Hundred Poison Powder looks very potent on the surface, but its actual effect is quite ordinary; even common Xuan Practitioners can withstand it for a relatively long time. Therefore, it’s best to have a medicine that, after use, shows no obvious symptoms of poisoning but can make a person lose all Xuan Power and become limp all over. Only then can the effectiveness of the poison be improved!” Mr. Long said with a smile.

“Oh? There’s such a poison in the world?” Tong Jingshan was startled.

Mr. Long’s Heart-Nature stirred, and a medicinal formula appeared in his hand. He handed it to him and said, “This is the formula for Ten Fragrance Tendon Softening Powder. You can refine it according to the formula.”

“Ten Fragrance Tendon Softening Powder?!” Tong Jingshan looked at the medicinal formula in astonishment, his hands trembling slightly. He never expected that Mr. Long would have more research than him in the Dao of poison, and be even more “insidious”...

“Indeed, the effect of this medicine is what I just described. You can also find someone to test it. As for the antidote, there is also a formula at the back of the medicinal formula. After you refine it, send some to me!” Mr. Long said.

“Yes! Your subordinate obeys!” Tong Jingshan quickly responded.

“Remember, this medicinal formula must not be leaked. Also, in front of others, do not address me like this in the future; just use the normal address! I’m leaving now...”

“Yes! Your subordinate understands!”

When Tong Jingshan looked up again, Mr. Long was already gone. He looked around blankly, finding that Mr. Long had truly disappeared, and couldn't help but be greatly alarmed. Had the Cultivation of this Young Lord, whom he had only recognized today, already reached such a level? Everything seemed a bit like a dream, but the medicinal formula in his hand was real. He brightened up and quickly began to study it carefully...

At the Yuhua Terrace Property Management Company front desk, Xue Qing was sitting listlessly, listening to the recently popular great ming golden melody chart song, “you at the same table,” while daydreaming...

After tonight's events, she was like a wilted eggplant, completely lacking energy. Thinking that her third uncle was secretly engaged in illegal beast-rearing, Cultivated a poisonous palm, and refined poisons, and even she herself was poisoned, although she was eventually saved by him, her impression of Tong Jingshan had completely shattered!

Was this still the third uncle who doted on her immensely when she was little? Was this still the third uncle full of a sense of justice, who bravely fought for the Family's interests? No, he had changed! He had become unrecognizable, a great villain who would stop at nothing to achieve his personal goals!

“It’s over, Third Uncle is really finished! Should I tell father about this? Or should I tell the Clan Chief directly?” Xue Qing’s Heart-Nature turned darkly.

But then she suddenly remembered that there was a twist to this matter. County Magistrate Geng Yun publicly announced that tonight's incident was a misunderstanding and that everything Tong Jingshan had done would not be investigated. What exactly was going on? Was Third Uncle wronged? But she had clearly seen those ranked exotic beasts with her own eyes...

“Sigh, should I go back to Third Uncle’s villa to sleep? I don’t want to see him at all right now...” She mumbled, but the song kept drilling into her ears...

“Huh?! Isn’t the song ‘you at the same table’ sung by Mr. Long?!” She suddenly jolted, immediately becoming excited!

She had been listening to this song on an endless loop recently, simply unwilling to switch to anything else. It could be said that she loved it to no end. And according to her understanding, the singer of this song, Mr. Long, was from Fengyang, and was still a student at Fengyang No. 1 High School!

She quickly picked up her phone to watch the video, and her eyes widened instantly. Wasn't the young man singing in the video the Mr. Long who was just with her?

“Oh my goodness! My idol was standing right in front of me, and I didn’t even realize it. How blind could I be?!” Xue Qing exclaimed in disbelief.

Mr. Long was indeed standing in front of her at this moment, and he was speechless seeing her slightly crazy appearance. He had been there for a while, yet she was completely unaware, just engrossed in listening to the song...

“Young Miss Tong? Young Miss Tong?!” Mr. Long tried to say loudly.

Xue Qing finally heard someone calling her, but as soon as she put down the phone and looked up, her eyes immediately lit up. She instinctively stood up, as if by reflex. If it weren't for the front desk blocking her, she probably would have rushed over without hesitation...

“Ah!!! Mr. Long! Mr. Long!! You are the Mr. Long who sings ‘you at the same table’!!!” Xue Qing shrieked excitedly.

Mr. Long was startled and took a few steps back. He composed himself and said, “’you at the same table’ was indeed sung by me, but you don’t need to be so excited, do you?”

Xue Qing was startled, then came to her senses, her face immediately turning crimson. She quickly said, “Mr. Long, your song is really too beautiful! You are a big star now, you are my idol!!!”

“Tsk, what big star? I just sang a song casually at the Qin Family song and dance hall, but someone secretly uploaded it online. I still need to hold those uploaders and spreaders accountable!” Mr. Long snorted.

“Ah, this? Don’t you know that the law doesn’t punish the masses? And your song has now officially made it onto the charts, and the copyright is also marked as yours. Others are just reposting, there is no infringement!” Xue Qing argued.

“Officially on the charts? What does that mean?” Mr. Long was startled.

“It means exactly what it says! Please, pay more attention to the great ming golden melody chart. In the past few days, your song has already entered the top ten with the support of your fans!” Xue Qing said with a charming smile, her look of enjoying the show and not minding the trouble made Mr. Long feel a bit annoyed...

He suddenly thought of something and said, “Then may I ask what the benefit is of my song making it into the top ten? Do I get money?”

“Oh my, I didn’t expect our Mr. Long to be a little money-grubber, too. The good news is, the great ming golden melody chart really does give money, because those fans have to pay to download your song to listen to it, and the ranking is also calculated based on download volume. Even I contributed one silver coin for the download fee! This money will be collected by the management company of the great ming golden melody chart. They will charge a certain management fee, and the rest, after tax, will be yours! Oh, by the way, have they not contacted you yet?” Xue Qing asked curiously.

“No... Oh, they probably don't know my phone number!” Mr. Long suddenly realized.

“That should be it! But don’t worry, they definitely won’t secretly pocket your money. Instead, they will save it for you and give it to you once they contact you. Also, you will definitely have other works in the future, so how could they bear to lose you, this cash cow?”

Mr. Long nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. This was easy to understand; no one was foolish. To achieve such good results at such a young age meant there would be many more opportunities to make money in the future. It seemed he had another way to earn money!

“Very good, since it can make money, then I won't worry about it. Now is the time when money is needed, the more the better...” Mr. Long thought to himself...
