42: Heading to Qingshui Town

Ling Xian retracted the Undead Divine Fire, took out a document from his storage ring, and handed it to Mo Xueer.

"Your new identity. Write down your name. I'm Ling Wu, I'll handle the formalities for you. It can be settled within three days.

As for the side effects of the potion..." Ling Xian turned to look at the Living Dead, "Living Dead, it's your turn."

An old man dressed in gray sackcloth, with messy hair, reluctantly poked his head out.

"Bossing me around again!" The Living Dead grumbled as he walked out, "We agreed on once a month! How many times has it been now?

I'm not a beast of burden!"

"I recently found a hundred-year-old Wild Dendrobium officinale, planning to gift it to you, old sir." Ling Xian said without changing his expression, "Besides, don't you want to study a genetically modified potion subject?"

The Living Dead's eyes lit up. He trotted over to Mo Xueer, circled her twice, felt her pulse, and sniffed: "Nerves enhanced, muscles activated, metabolism overclocked... This potion is truly powerful, a good thing!"

But the next second, the Living Dead changed his tone, "It's just that the side effects are a bit severe. Without medicinal assistance, all your organs will fail within a year at most."

Mo Xueer's expression changed slightly, surprised that this seemingly unreliable old man was so capable.

Indeed, members of the Poker Organization gained enhancements from the potion, but they also needed to return to headquarters periodically for injections of a stabilizing agent, otherwise they would suffer excruciating pain, a living hell.

"Can it be treated?" she asked.

"Yes!" The Living Dead thumped his chest and guaranteed, "Although it's a bit troublesome, with the fragmented Taisu Pulse Theory I obtained, I just need to use golden needles along with the Reverse Flow Method to force the potion residue to one spot, then slowly metabolize it to solve the problem.

After that, medicinal treatment will suffice.

However..."

"However what?"

"However, you need to take off your clothes." The Living Dead said matter-of-factly, "Without removing clothes, those acupuncture points cannot be accessed."

Mo Xueer: "..."

Ling Xian said angrily, "Why didn't Wu Yueyue need to? Old man, are you trying to fool me?"

"Different situations require different approaches. This girl's condition is more complex than Yueyue's.

For Yueyue, I could use Internal Energy and blood lingzhi as aids, a few random needles, and the rest solved with medicine.

I've never even seen a potion like hers, don't know what herbs to use, so I can only use a large number of golden needles."

The Living Dead was also getting angry, putting in effort without thanks and being criticized before even starting treatment.

"Forget it, I'll do it myself." Ling Xian shooed the Living Dead away and opened the system.

"illusion dream, analyze the treatment plan!"

【Optimal Plan: Low-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill! (Currently on a big sale! Not 99, not 999, only 1000 villain points.

Cleanses the Essence and Marrow, Transforms the Body and Bones!)】

Without any hesitation, Ling Xian directly exchanged for it.

"Swallow this, and it will resolve the side effects."

Mo Xueer was somewhat incredulous, and the Living Dead was even more skeptical.

If a single pill could really cure it, wouldn't his medical skills be inferior to this kid's?

Hesitating for a moment, Mo Xueer still trusted Ling Xian and swallowed the pill. After a short while,

the potion, appearing purple, was slowly forced out of her body.

Simultaneously, her strength was also diminishing.

Peak of the Fourth Stage!

Late Fourth Stage!

... It only just stopped at the early Fourth Stage.

After a long time, Mo Xueer was drenched in fragrant sweat, feeling completely relaxed.

The Living Dead, with a shocked expression, rushed back at lightning speed from where he had just walked away.

"Kid Ling, what did you make her swallow?

This situation is not right..." The Living Dead's eyes revealed a deep longing.

Ling Xian didn't answer, instead saying, "I'll leave the rest to you. Prepare some medicinal tonics."

It wasn't that Ling Xian didn't want to exchange for another one, but he couldn't afford the price of another Low-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill.

【Low-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill: 10000 villain points.】

After handling these matters, Ling Xian prepared to head to the Donghai Grand Competition.

This was the most important thing today.

Sitting in the back seat of the rolls-royce Phantom, Ling Xian closed his eyes to rest.

In his mind, the system notification sounded:

【Ding! Successfully subdued 'Poker A' Mo Xueer, disrupted Lin Feng's assassination plan. villain points +5000!】

【Ding! Triggered hidden mission 'Shadows of the Poker Organization'. First stage completed. Reward: Gene Potion Analysis Report (First Generation)!】

Looking at the generous rewards, Ling Xian was shocked.

"This hidden mission is actually a chain? And this is only the first stage completed?

Poker Organization, I'm starting to like you guys more and more."

Now, the Poker Organization was like a huge prize pool in Ling Xian's eyes.

Hit it a bit, and it bursts out some villain points!

The Donghai Martial Arts Grand Competition, in the original plot, was the turning point for Lin Feng's rise.

Before participating, Lin Feng could only operate within Donghai.

After participating in this Donghai Martial Arts Grand Competition, he entered the sight of major forces across the Dragon Kingdom.

Even showcasing his prowess across the entire Dragon Kingdom.

The Donghai Martial Arts Grand Competition was held in a small town.

Within the town, one must travel on foot, so Ling Xian had Ling Wu park the car outside the town.

Although he could break the rules, doing so now would cause all the big shots in Donghai to be unconvinced.

Only by showcasing his strength at the Martial Arts Grand Competition, letting these people witness his power,

would these so-called rules become like blank paper, easily punctured.

Outside this small Qingshui Town, several Mercedes-Benz SUVs and luxury cars like Bentleys had already parked early.

Actually, the cars that came here this time weren't the super-rich luxury ones.

Most big shots on this day would choose low-key cars costing hundreds of thousands or a couple million.

"Isn't this Donghai?" Ling Xian asked, puzzled.

He only had a general understanding of the original plot, and the Ling Group hadn't participated for so many years, so he wasn't very clear.

"Donghai is, after all, a big city, and enforcement is strict, so they chose a small town outside Donghai." Ling Wu explained, "Another reason is that the local customs here are fierce; it's a no-man's-land area. Every year, a large number of martial arts competitions are held here.

These martial arts competitions also attract many out-of-town, even overseas, tourists.

Calling them tourists, but they are mostly wealthy individuals.

So, often, authorities turn a blind eye."

Ling Xian nodded, understanding that compared to most tourists, wealthy individuals actually spend more money, splurging thousands at a time.

"Actually, compared to Donghai's Martial Arts Grand Competition, the overseas competitions are even more spectacular.

Those big shots would buy entire islands for their fights." Chi Taohua recalled, a lollipop in her mouth.

Ling Xian acknowledged this point. Chi Taohua was in the underground world every day and had seen her fair share of things.

Entering the town,

Ling Xian saw many Free-fighting Experts, Taekwondo Masters, and Ancient Muay Thai Masters fighting on a huge Earthen Stage.

Countless residents and tourists swarmed around.

The Arena was large, basically allowing three to four groups to compete at a time.

The shouts and cheers from the crowd below came in waves.

Ling Xian glanced a couple of times and lost interest.

These were just ordinary people, skilled in some combat techniques, but they hadn't sensed Qi within their bodies, couldn't form Internal Energy, and hadn't reached the level of Martial Artists.

Just as Ling Xian was about to leave and head to the location of the Donghai Grand Competition,

from among the tourists, a female voice called out to Ling Xian.

"Ling Xian?"
