Su Que injected a surge of True Qi into Greedy Wolf’s body, and Greedy Wolf shivered, waking up imdiately.
He opened his bleary eyes, suddenly seeing Ou Tianhao, who was lifeless beside him. His gaze fixed sharply, and he began to tremble all over.
"Great... Great Hero, please don’t kill !"
His voice trembled as he begged for rcy.
"I’ll ask, and you’ll answer. Give full answers, and I won’t kill you," Su Que said blandly.
"Yes, yes, Great Hero, ask away!"
Greedy Wolf’s limbs and tendons were broken, unable to move, so he could only nod his head like a pecking chick.
"Na."
"Zhang Bengen!"
"What is this token?" Su Que picked up the Copper Token with the words "Greedy Wolf" on it and shook it in front of Zhang Bengen.
"This is the token of my status as a Tang Sect Outer Disciple. ’Greedy Wolf’ is my code na," Zhang Bengen replied.
’Tang Sect...’
’So, disciples of the Tang Sect in this world also favor using poisons and hidden weapons!’
Su Que thought after hearing this.
However, his questions to Zhang Bengen were not to learn about those sect matters of the Tang Sect, but to find out about Zhang Bengen’s cultivation techniques and hidden weapon skill.
"The martial art you used earlier to release purple True Qi, what martial art is that?" Su Que asked.
"It’s the Tang Sect’s ’Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons’." Zhang Bengen answered.
’Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons... It’s from the Tang Sect...’ thought Su Que.
Imdiately, he asked, "How do you cultivate it? Explain in detail!"
Zhang Bengen then explained the cultivation thod.
Turns out, the ’Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons’ is one of the Tang Sect’s Inner Power Heart thod, and it is the hardest and most dangerous to practice.
The cultivator needs to consu poisonous herbs, flowers, insects, and other poisons, then use the special Heart thod recorded in the ’Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons’ to absorb and harmonize various poisons, spawning the Myriad Poison True Qi.
Afterward, by stimulating one’s own acupuncture points with the Myriad Poison True Qi, a Poison Sac is opened in the body, where the Myriad Poison True Qi is stored.
The reason why the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons is called the hardest and most dangerous is that cultivators often have to pass through two stages.
The first stage is to absorb and harmonize various poisons, spawning the Myriad Poison True Qi.
Cultivating the ’Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons’ usually begins with consuming comparatively less toxic poisonous herbs and insects.
Even so, these less toxic herbs and insects can still kill lower-level martial artists.
Moreover, with the accumulation of toxicity, the poison will grow stronger and stronger.
The majority of cultivators die from heavy poisoning before they can spawn Myriad Poison True Qi.
The second stage is, once the Myriad Poison True Qi is generated, its toxicity will continue to erode the body.
If one doesn’t consu a large number of supplents, dicinal materials, or Elixirs, the body will beco increasingly weak.
However, Zhang Bengen has heard that so genius disciples in the Tang Sect’s Inner Sect are naturally immune to poisons, and the Myriad Poison True Qi has minimal influence on them.
After listening to Zhang Bengen’s explanation of the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons’ cultivation thod, Su Que, with his enlightennt, knew that this thod was not complete.
Because after Zhang Bengen fully described the cultivation thod, Su Que could still easily deduce the subsequent parts of the ’Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons’.
"This isn’t the complete ’Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons’, where’s the complete version?"
Thus, Su Que asked Zhang Bengen.
Zhang Bengen replied, "At my level as an Outer Disciple, I can only access this much of the ’Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons’ cultivation thod."
"What’s going on here?" Su Que frowned and asked.
Zhang Bengen responded:
"The Tang Sect is divided into the Outer and Inner Sects."
"The Outer Sect usually exists in the form of bases, spread across various places in the Liang Kingdom."
"The Inner Sect is located in the Central Plains."
"Inner Sect disciples are mostly composed of direct descendants of the Tang Sect."
"So outsiders, due to their outstanding talent, are noticed by the Tang Sect’s Elder direct descendants, taken as disciples, granted the surna ’Tang’, and admitted to the Inner Sect."
"Moreover, so outsiders join the Outer Sect and gradually advance by completing the Tang Sect’s assassination tasks, ultimately being granted the surna ’Tang’ to beco Inner Sect disciples of the Tang Sect."
"Only Inner Sect disciples can have access to the complete ’Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons’."
"However, anyone who joins the Tang Sect’s Outer Sect can obtain partial reading access to Inner Power Heart thods, Lightweight Body Techniques, and Hidden Weapon Techniques from a Tang Sect base."
"The Inner Power Heart thod I chose was the first volu of the ’Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons’."
"That was a thin booklet docunting a small part of the initial cultivation thods of the ’Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons’."
"Tang Sect Outer Disciple is divided into two main levels, Heaven and Earth, and four sub-levels of A, B, C, and D, descending order."
"Upon joining Tang Sect, one starts as a Class D disciple."
"One can only elevate to the next level by completing the Tang Sect’s assassination tasks and accumulating enough rit."
"Upon advancing to the next level, one can read the second volu of the ’Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons’ and more Tang Sect cultivation techniques and hidden weapon skills."
After hearing, Su Que asked, "What’s your level then?"
"I’m Class C." Zhang Bengen answered.
"You’re really useless," Su Que said, which explains why the cultivation thod Zhang Bengen obtained from the ’Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons’ was so limited.
Zhang Bengen: "...Yes."
Su Que continued to ask, "How do you receive your tasks, and do you and other Tang Sect assassins, as well as people from Tang Sect bases, know each other?"
Hearing this, Su Que thought to himself:
These Tang Sect Outer Disciple Assassins are mostly likely martial artists without backgrounds.
While receiving assassination tasks within the Tang Sect, they won’t reveal their identities to the Tang Sect base.
Otherwise, if their identities were ever leaked, it would bring retribution from nurous enemies.
Moreover, Zhang Bengen’s Copper Token with the words ’Greedy Wolf’ on it confird his guess.
It’s quite possible the Tang Sect Outer Sect only recognizes tokens, not people.
Sure enough, the next mont, Zhang Bengen said, "No, we don’t recognize each other, we almost only recognize the token, not the people."
"That’s good!"
Su Que pinched the Copper Token in his hand, scrutinizing Zhang Bengen’s body anew.
Zhang Bengen’s physique is slightly taller than his reduced size.
Later on, he can slightly inflate his muscles to mimic Zhang Bengen’s physique.
He plans to impersonate Zhang Bengen identity, using the title of Tang Sect Assassin "Greedy Wolf" to access the Tang Sect base and seek the ’Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons’ and skilled hidden weapon techniques.
Thinking of this, Su Que asked, "Where is your Tang Sect base?"
"I don’t know where the Tang Sect base is," Zhang Bengen replied:
"I have always t with Tang Sect base people at a certain place, then had my vision and hearing covered while being led by the contact person to a Tang Sect base."
"Then where do you et up?" Su Que asked.
Zhang Bengen then disclosed several eting points in the Prefecture City.
Not familiar with Prefecture City, Su Que could only morize these eting points.
Before too long, he’s going to the Prefecture City’s examination. Then, with the identity of "Greedy Wolf," a Tang Sect Outer Disciple, he will et the Tang Sect’s contact person at the base to see if he can obtain a more complete ’Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons’ and other Tang Sect secret manuals.
