20: I don't want Kasumi to take the Source God!

Just as Qin Dong was having a battle of wits with the System, Zhang Yizhi was the first to approach him instead.

As it turned out, Zhang Yizhi had been staring at the jade bottle for a long time without being able to figure out its secrets, when he suddenly thought of Qin Dong and Qin Zixuan.

That's right, Brother Qin and Sister Zixuan are here.

One is the Young Lord of the Qin Family with many trump cards in hand.

The other is a Genius of the Qin Family whose knowledge far exceeds his own; why not ask them?

"Brother Qin, Sister Zixuan, you are both well-traveled and knowledgeable. Do you know what this is?"

Zhang Yizhi spoke as he looked into the carriage, then handed the jade bottle over.

Qin Zixuan shook her head; the contents of the jade bottle were beyond her understanding, and she did not know what it was either.

Qin Dong took the jade bottle. Although he was extremely excited inside, he could not show it on the surface.

If Zhang Yizhi saw how rare this item was, it would undoubtedly make it harder to swindle him.

While pondering a strategy, he began browsing the System Shop.

Soon, he found an item in the System Shop.

Sky-Sustaining Qi, Grade: Heaven Rank Medium Grade.

Effect: After refining, it can repair incomplete Physiques and has a probability of triggering a Physique advancement.

Price: 95,000 Top-up Points.

Qin Dong was somewhat tempted. As long as he used a deceptive ruse on Zhang Yizhi and then gave him this Sky-Sustaining Qi, he could make a full 5,000 Top-up Points from the trade. Why not?

5,000! Those would be 5,000 Top-up Points earned fair and square.

However, one must endure the bitterest of hardships to become the master of men.

He then scrolled down the product list and purchased something called Dog-Shit Pills.

Dog-Shit Pill, Grade: Mortal Rank High Grade.

Information: Low-quality Medicinal Pills refined by the Sorrowful Daoist of the Upper Realm. The taste is terrifyingly bad, and the raw materials are suspected to be excrement.

Effect: Can take six pills a day. After swallowing, it can repair a tiny bit of an incomplete Physique and has a 0.05% probability of triggering a Physique advancement. Can be taken indefinitely.

Price: 20 Top-up Points.

Organizing his thoughts, Qin Dong then spoke.

"Brother Zhang, to be honest, this is a terrifying poison called the Sunset Plucked Primordial God."

"I saw records of this poison in an ancient book."

"It was researched by evil Cultivators in the ancient era and once slaughtered hundreds of millions of the Human Race, poisoning all living beings. It is a great horror!"

"What!"

Hearing this, both Zhang Yizhi and Qin Zixuan looked terrified. They didn't expect this small bottle of stuff to have such terrifying power.

"Quick, take it away! I don't want the Sunset Plucked Primordial God!"

Zhang Yizhi hurriedly pushed it back. Facing such a legendary and terrifying poison, even thinking about it left him with lingering fears.

Seeing this, Qin Dong could only helplessly store it into the system space.

"In that case, I will take this item. I am also quite interested in this Sunset Plucked Primordial God."

Qin Dong put away the heavenly dao origin, and with a wave of his hand, five bottles of Medicinal Pills landed in the carriage.

Retrieving items out of thin air, yet he wasn't wearing a spatial ring... Seeing this, Qin Zixuan and Zhang Yizhi were only surprised for a moment before quickly returning to normal.

A trump card. This was his trump card.

"There's no need for this, Brother Qin. Between brothers, if you need it, just take it."

"We are brothers who share life and death, after all."

"Brother, I won't take your things for nothing. These are World-Destroying Benefactor-of-All-Living-Beings Divine Pills."

"They are divine objects from my Qin Family's Legacy."

"They have the effect of Awakening a Physique. Of course, there is only a probability of Awakening."

What?!

Hearing this, both Zhang Yizhi and Qin Zixuan revealed expressions of shock. They fully understood the weight of the word 'Physique.'

Qin Dong looked at the two people whose eyes were already glowing and revealed a confident smile.

Hook, line, and sinker.

Why spend tens of thousands when a few hundred Top-up Points can solve the problem?

"Brother Qin!"

Zhang Yizhi's gaze showed deep emotion. Such a divine object that could seize the fortune of heaven and earth was actually being used to exchange for his poison.

What was this for him? This was a massive profit!

Brother Qin really was his good brother!

"Take them. Become strong soon and stand at the apex of the world."

"Remember, two pills each in the morning, noon, and night. Take them before meals. Avoid sour, spicy, and pungent foods, and stay away from women."

Zhang Yizhi joyfully took the Dog-Shit Pills, nodded solemnly, and then swallowed one.

Endless bitterness exploded on his taste buds, as if he had eaten something indescribable that had been fermenting for years.

"Blech... yeah... blech..."

Zhang Yizhi forced himself to endure the discomfort and painfully swallowed it. At this moment, he felt as if he had arrived at the legendary nine layers of hell; the bitterness was beyond words.

However, his face was soon filled with joy.

"These World-Destroying Benefactor-of-All-Living-Beings Divine Pills are truly useful. Brother Qin is so good to me!"

Zhang Yizhi felt a dormant power within his body Awakening. Although only a sliver had been revived, as long as he continued to take these Divine Pills, he would be able to awaken his Physique sooner or later.

"To be able to meet a great benefactor like Brother Qin is truly the blessing of three lifetimes!"

After sending Zhang Yizhi off with a few bottles of Dog-Shit Pills, only the wide-eyed and expectant Qin Zixuan remained in the carriage.

Qin Zixuan nervously pinched the hem of her skirt with her delicate hands, feeling a bit at a loss facing Qin Dong.

The Young Lord and Zhang Yizhi were both becoming stronger, while she was stagnating. She feared that before long, she wouldn't even have the right to stay by the Young Lord's side.

Seeing Qin Zixuan's bashful manner, an inexplicable impulse arose in Qin Dong's heart, and little Qin Dong perked up.

He gently tilted Qin Zixuan's chin up. He saw her eyes dodging his on her flushed face, but her thirst for power was clearly visible to him.

"Hehe."

Qin Dong was not stingy and took out the Ice Jade King Physique Origin from the system space.

"Sister Zixuan, do you want to become stronger?"

Qin Zixuan was startled, then looked at Qin Dong with a firm gaze and nodded heavily.

"Good. Guard your heart immediately, and I will help you refine this with all my strength."

"Yes, Young Lord."

Qin Zixuan did not dare to delay and immediately sat cross-legged.

The next moment, Qin Dong took out the Ice Jade King Physique Origin and pushed it into her body.

Given his current situation, his Physical Body could not bear an additional King-grade Physique.

Therefore, he had originally intended to sell it to the System.

But when he saw that the System Shop's selling price was 200,000 while the buyback price was only 50,000, Qin Dong decisively changed his mind.

Unscrupulous merchant! The System is truly an unscrupulous merchant!

Rather than letting the damn System profit, it was better to give it to Qin Zixuan.

During this time, he had seen Qin Zixuan's various acts of care, and they were genuine.

Although her gaze was sometimes a bit strange and she occasionally drooled while staring at him, overall, she truly liked him!

Moreover, his impression of Qin Zixuan wasn't bad either. They had known each other since childhood and were practically childhood sweethearts; it would make for a fine story.

High EQ: A fine story.

Low EQ: Qin Dong was lusting after her body... The moment the Ice Jade King Physique Origin left its container, the temperature inside the carriage plummeted, and even Zhang Yizhi outside felt the chill.

Thick Earth Spirit Body!

Qin Dong's eyes narrowed as he activated the Thick Earth Spirit Body, bringing forth a blazing power of blood and Qi. He pressed his palms against Qin Zixuan's fair back to harmonize the frigid energy.

Qin Zixuan refined the Ice Jade King Physique with all her might, but refining a King-grade Physique with her weak cultivation was ultimately too difficult.

The bone-chilling cold and the blazing blood-Qi power interacted, and the collision of the two auras made her groan involuntarily.

Outside the carriage, Zhang Yizhi, who was studying the Dog-Shit Pills, froze and almost fell off the horse.

Calm down, calm down. He already knew the relationship between Brother Qin and Zixuan; such things were only natural now.

He quickly regained his composure and continued to swallow the Dog-Shit Pills.

However, the sounds occasionally coming from inside the carriage kept his expression looking strange.

It wasn't until the third day that everything returned to normal.

"Brother Yizhi, stop for a moment."

The expressionless Zhang Yizhi stopped the carriage. As soon as it stopped, he saw an exhausted Qin Dong walk out of the carriage.

"Rest for a while, we'll continue later."

Inside the carriage, Qin Zixuan was pleasantly surprised to find a strange new power in her body.

With a point of her delicate finger, a tiny ice flower appeared. The aura of freezing all things seemed to be under her control.

"This is the power of Extreme Ice. How extraordinary."

Sensing the power brought by the Ice Jade Origin in her body, although it wasn't fully refined, the joy on Qin Zixuan's face grew even stronger.

Now she could finally continue to fight side-by-side with the Young Lord.

After a short rest, the carriage resumed its journey... "Hyah... Hyah... Hyah."

Fiery red clouds filled the sky as the sun set in the west.

The expressionless youth drove the swaying carriage slowly into the distance, with only the bitterness of the Dog-Shit Pills in his heart and mouth... A bloodthirsty vulture flew into the city and landed on the ground to feed greedily.

In Black Blood Mountain City, inside a blood-colored hall, there were five seats, with four figures sitting high above.

Banners fluttered on the walls of the hall, with the words 'Blood Fiend' written on them.

One of them was precisely the Blood Fiend Young Master, Wu Jiang.

"Reporting to the Lords, Old Ancestor Min Mo, who went to Desolate Profound City, has yet to return. I fear..."

The Cultivator reporting below trembled. One must know that was a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, a top-tier expert even in Black Blood Mountain City.

For such a being to perish just by going to a remote small city, it was obvious that a major power had intervened behind the scenes.

Silence... Upon hearing the report, the scene fell into a brief silence as the high-level members of the Blood Fiend Sect showed pensive expressions.

The others all turned their gazes toward the Blood Fiend Young Master.

"If another power has intervened, our Blood Fiend Sect might find it difficult to quickly execute that person."

"Indeed, we are not yet clear on the relationship between that major power and that person. Continuing to act might invite disaster."

"Blood Fiend Young Master, perhaps we should just let it go. Since a major power has intervened, it's unwise for our Blood Fiend Sect to oppose them."

"Li Laomo, what kind of thing are you? It's not your place to tell this Young Master how to do things."

With a cold snort, the Cultivator called Li Laomo directly closed his eyes and said no more.

He did not dare to easily offend the Blood Fiend Young Master, because the other's status was extraordinary, being of noble and distinguished... "Lords, your subordinate has an important matter to report!"

Just as the several people were arguing incessantly, a Cultivator carrying a recording Magical Artifact hurried into the hall.

As the recorded content played, everyone present gasped, especially at those last three sentences, which made their teeth chatter with rage.

"Arrogant!"

"What an audacious madman! How dare he!"

"He infuriates me! He infuriates me!"

The high-level members of the Blood Fiend Sect were collectively enraged. For hundreds of years, those who dared to boast about destroying their Black Blood Mountain City had, without exception, all died.

But this fellow was different; he had a major power supporting him, and his own talent was also extremely terrifying. If allowed to grow, he would surely affect Black Blood Mountain City.

Since it concerned the survival of Black Blood Mountain City, presumably other forces would also take action.

Make five hundred copies of this recording and send them to all the major forces in Black Blood Mountain City. There must be no mistakes.

Wait!

Copy and paste those last three sentences twenty more times and turn the volume to the maximum.

"As you command."
