Gu Zicheng, the master of Gu insects, was thoroughly despised by Lee Encai. He wasn't worthy of staying at Lin Tang's ho, and a hotel was both expensive and inconvenient. After so thought, he decided to pay another visit to Wang Shouzhen's residence, a move that threw the entire Wang Family into utter chaos.
Wang Dengke was so furious he wanted to slap his son to death. I told you not to ss with Lin Tang! Well, look at you now. A billion in compensation, and we have no choice but to pay up.
Wang Shouben felt as miserable as if he had eaten a pile of shit. After being kicked out of the Valiant Battalion, he had planned to go into business, but he had already lost a huge chunk of his capital before he could even start. Tragic, so utterly tragic!
「The next day.」
Gu Zicheng obediently arrived at Ge Shijian's dical clinic. As soon as he entered the private room, he saw Lin Tang sitting cross-legged. Seated opposite him was… a dried-up mummy! It was the Holy Corpse snatched from the Heavenly Person Academy.
Gu Zicheng was stunned. ?? He had always thought that playing with insects was pretty twisted, but compared to Lin Tang, he was a total amateur. So, who's really the one practicing forbidden arts here?
"Young Master Lin, are you performing the Corpse Refining Technique?"
"Are you blind?" Lin Tang scoffed. "Can't you sense this incredibly potent Yang Gang Energy? Do you think this is suitable for refining a corpse?"
"You have a point," Gu Zicheng said, feeling awkward.
Even though the Holy Corpse wasn't actively displaying its power, being this close was enough to completely suppress the Gu insects in his body. If the Holy Corpse were to release even a sliver of its righteous aura, it would be enough to incinerate both him and his insects.
Gu insects weren't only for harming people; they could also be used for healing. They were particularly effective for reducing swelling and detoxification, even more so than prescribed dicine. They could even be used to remove foreign objects from a person's stomach or rectum. Adhering to the principle of not letting anything go to waste, Lin Tang had Gu Zicheng start assisting Ge Shijian.
Lee Encai had initially been repulsed by the Gu insects, but upon seeing their beneficial uses, her opinion of them improved considerably. Lin Tang, anwhile, continued to nourish his Divine Sense with the Holy Corpse's righteous energy, only personally intervening for cases the others couldn't handle.
「A few hours later.」
Lin Tang's Divine Sense could now scan a one-kiloter radius—a significant improvent. Why is Ning Yuexi here? He imdiately stood up and put the Holy Corpse into his Storage Ring. About ten minutes later, Ning Yuexi walked in.
"Lin Tang, what's the progress on the poison I asked you to concoct?"
"You still haven't given the Cultivation Technique I asked for," Lin Tang said, spreading his hands.
"Weren't we supposed to trade? The poison for the technique?" Ning Yuexi's eyes widened. "Don't tell you haven't even started?"
"How am I supposed to know you won't go back on your word after I go through all the trouble of preparing the poison?"
"Is my character that poor? You really don't trust ?"
"Heh."
Ning Yuexi's expression soured. "Hmph!" She tossed a Cultivation Technique onto the table.
Lin Tang took a closer look and saw that the technique wasn't recorded on paper. It looked sothing like an iron tablet or a pitch-black tile. He picked it up and tapped it. It actually contains a small amount of spirit material used in Artifact Refining? That's to be expected. Ordinary materials couldn't possibly contain the spiritual essence of a Cultivation Technique.
Lin Tang confird that the technique was genuine and quickly skimd it. Its na was the *Blood God Scripture*. It was obvious from the na alone that it wasn't a reputable technique. When he read the contents, he was appalled. Good lord. It was full of vile and sinister thods, bloody and cruel. Worse, it was only the first half, far from complete.
"You're trying to fool with this?" Lin Tang tossed it aside in disgust. He had no intention of practicing it himself, nor would he give it to Shen Youling. It's too low-level! And the requirents are so harsh. Even if you cultivated it successfully, the most you could achieve is the Foundation Establishnt realm. "Don't you have anything more conventional?"
"No!"
"Then I have nothing for you either."
"Hey! What do you an by that? I never said the family technique I gave you would be to your satisfaction. We agreed beforehand that any Demon Technique would do. Plus, I helped you resolve the Shen Family's crisis. You can't go back on your word. You have to make that poison!" Ning Yuexi said with righteous indignation.
Lin Tang wasn't intimidated in the slightest. "I also made it clear beforehand. I can only make a poison that can take down a Heavenly King. As for whether it will be effective against Long Tianji…"
His aning was clear: if she gave him a trash technique, he would give her a trash poison.
Ning Yuexi was speechless. For so reason, she got inexplicably angry whenever she saw Lin Tang. Being toyed with by him now, she completely lost her composure.
"You're bullying too! You've been bullying ever since we t! You're a horrible person!" she yelled indignantly, much to the embarrassnt and amusent of Chen Yuyan, who had co with her.
"Crazy woman!" Lin Tang didn't even indulge his own wife, Shen Youling, let alone give Ning Yuexi any face. He deliberately walked over to Chen Yuyan and looked her up and down until her cheeks flushed with embarrassnt.
"Brother Lin, wh-what are you doing?"
"I just rembered a promise I made to you."
"What promise?" Chen Yuyan was baffled. She had no mory of it at all.
Ning Yuexi grew vigilant and pulled Chen Yuyan behind her. "Lin Tang, I'm warning you! You're a married man, so stop flirting with my disciple!"
Chen Yuyan blushed even harder and waved her hands frantically. "Brother Lin, we're not right for each other!"
"Where are your minds going? The promise I'm talking about was to help Little Yanyan with her scar. The one on her stomach from where she was stabbed."
"Oh, that!" Chen Yuyan let out a sigh of relief. What's with 'Little Yanyan'? That nickna is so weird!
"You were stabbed? How co I never knew?" Ning Yuexi asked, whipping her head around in shock.
"It just goes to show what an unqualified master you are. You don't care about your own disciple at all," Lin Tang said, deliberately trying to stir up trouble.
Ning Yuexi ignored him and continued to question her disciple, forcing Chen Yuyan to recount what had happened.
"Oh, so when you get down to it, it's still your fault!" Ning Yuexi glared at Lin Tang, her annoyance growing.
"I wasn't the one who stabbed her! How can you bla for that? I'm starting to think you're going through nopause. You're being completely unreasonable."
"You!"
Lin Tang pushed her aside, pulled Chen Yuyan over to a small cot, and had her lie down before lifting the hem of her shirt. Her smooth, flat stomach was revealed. Chen Yuyan was so nervous she didn't know where to put her hands.
"I've seen it before. Is there any need to be so dramatic?" Lin Tang said, exasperated.
"It's not that. It's just… my master is right here. It feels a little weird," Chen Yuyan muttered under her breath.
"Get out!" Lin Tang ordered Ning Yuexi.
"I will not!" Ning Yuexi ran over and crouched beside Chen Yuyan. "I have to supervise you and make sure you don't take advantage of the situation." She examined the scar and shook her head. "This scar is too deep; it can't be fixed. Not unless you can whip up another batch of that miraculous ointnt that cured Shen Youling."
"That's just because your dical skills are garbage!" Lin Tang forcefully batted her hand away. He then put on a show, taking out silver needles and beginning to prick the acupoints around the scar.
Both Ning Yuexi and Chen Yuyan were knowledgeable in dicine, but the more they watched, the more confused they beca.
"What's the point of this? It's not like she's suffering from a cold uterus. Hey, are you really going to stick a needle down there?!" Ning Yuexi shouted, lunging to stop him.
As they got into a tangle, a needle went into the wrong acupoint.
PFFFT—HAHAHA! Chen Yuyan burst out laughing uncontrollably, her arms and legs flailing.
Just then, the door was pushed open and Shen Youling walked in carrying a lunchbox. "Lin Tang, look what I brought… huh?"
She froze. The sight that greeted her was Lin Tang and Ning Yuexi with their arms entangled. Lin Tang's other hand was pressing down on Chen Yuyan's stomach to keep her from jumping up. Chen Yuyan's face was flushed red as she laughed joyously. Because of her wild movents, the hem of her shirt, which had already been lifted to just below her chest, threatened to ride up even higher. The lace trim of her lingerie was clearly visible!
"Is this what you call healing the sick? Am I interrupting your fun?" Shen Youling said furiously.
Lee Encai peeked her head in. "Whoa, now that's crossing a line!"
"Honey, let explain—"
Before Lin Tang could finish, Shen Youling turned and ran out of the room. He tried to chase after her, but Chen Yuyan's flailing only intensified. "Encai, help bring her back!"
Monts later, the misunderstanding was cleared up. They watched with their own eyes as the scar on Chen Yuyan's abdon vanished, as if it had been wiped away by an eraser.
"What's the principle behind this? It shouldn't be possible!" Ning Yuexi was completely mystified.
Shen Youling was once again stunned by his abilities.
Chen Yuyan, however, was overco with joy. Although the scar didn't affect her daily life, to a beauty-conscious girl like her, it was a lifelong source of discomfort. "Thank you, Brother Lin!" she exclaid, wanting to plant a kiss right on his cheek.
Even though the misunderstanding was resolved, Shen Youling refused to leave, keeping a close watch on Lin Tang. Ning Yuexi wouldn't leave either, which made it impossible for Lin Tang to continue his cultivation.
Why is my wife so clingy all of a sudden? At this rate, will I ever have any freedom again? This won't do! I have to find sothing for her to do!
Lin Tang pulled out his phone and called the ever-loyal Mo Pinglan. "Which departnt in your company is the busiest? Co over and take my wife with you to help shoulder so of the burden."
"Yes, Master. I'm on my way," Mo Pinglan replied obediently, already deciding she would make Shen Youling the new president of the company.
However, the mont she stepped into the clinic, Shen Youling gasped and covered her mouth in absolute shock. Ning Yuexi and the others had the sa ghost-white expression.
"How is that possible?!"
Everyone knew that a single small dark mark on Shen Youling's face had required an entire bottle of an incredibly precious ointnt, an ointnt that needed a thousand-year-old Yellow Sun Fungus to produce. So how had Mo Pinglan, whose entire face and back had been ruined, recovered so completely? Did it take a hundred thousand-year-old fungi? As if they were as common as cabbage!
Being the center of their astonished gazes, the radiant Mo Pinglan felt an incredible sense of satisfaction.
"How were you healed?" Shen Youling asked.
"Of course, it was all thanks to Mast—I an, Brother Lin's help."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Lin Tang, you were helpless before. How could you have solved it so suddenly?"
"Am I not allowed to improve my dical skills?"
"No amount of improvent should lead to this!"
While the clinic's back room echoed with gasps of astonishnt, the finally-cald Lady of Regulations arrived in Jiangbei. Yan Qinghe had reported that a nationwide search using every surveillance cara in the country had failed to turn up a single trace of Long Tianji. It was as if he had vanished from the face of the earth. His first and last known appearances were both in Jiangbei. Finding him would co down to trying their luck here.
"The Heavenly chanism Martial Alliance? Take there," the Lady of Regulations commanded coldly.
"I'll lead the way myself!" Yan Qinghe was ecstatic. He had personally witnessed the terrifying power of the demon-binding rope and had absolute faith in it. No matter how arrogant Long Tianji was, he was finished. What was there to be afraid of now?
