Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 16 of Cao’s Poison Scripture

Before long, Jiang Fan maneuvered the upturned boat to another area of Yunng Lake, completely away from the reeds. He temporarily had no intention of returning to Osmanthus Village.

Because he was out fishing, if he returned too quickly, he would definitely face suspicion from the villagers.

At the very least, he needed to stay away for a few hours before going back.

So there was no need for him to do anything that would attract suspicion.

Now Jiang Fan was also taking stock of this trip's gains.

Boom~~

At this mont, Jiang Fan gently touched two secret manuals, "Disguise Technique" and "Cao's Poison Scripture."

Instantly, a golden light enveloped the book, and a large amount of text seed to transform into a stream of information, then instantly plunged into the depths of his sea of consciousness.

Imdiately afterward, these two manuals vanished into ashes, completely disappearing from the world.

But it didn't matter; he had already morized all the contents of these two manuals.

"This Disguise Technique is actually so mysterious?!"

Jiang Fan was imdiately delighted.

In a certain sense, this was a special skill that could help a person change their appearance.

If cultivated to a deep level, it could even allow one to alter bone structure, becoming a completely different person.

To be honest, he was precisely lacking a skill like this.

Previously, when he went to Tonghe County, he was very unlucky to encounter Zheng Wenbing and his crew, getting recognized imdiately and attacked by them halfway.

If he weren't sowhat skilled, he might have died long ago.

In the future, he would certainly need to go to Tonghe County again.

However, many villagers from Osmanthus Village knew him.

If he was recognized in Tonghe County, it would be hard to explain.

Even more importantly, even if he didn't encounter villagers, frequent trips to Tonghe County and regular buying of food might attract attention from so thugs in Tonghe County, thus bringing trouble.

But if he mastered Disguise Technique, allowing him to change into another person at will,

in this way, even if he did sothing in Tonghe County, it wouldn't be tied to him.

It could be said, this would greatly enhance his safety.

"This Cao's Poison Scripture is not simple either, recording so many poisons?!"

Perceiving the contents of Cao's Poison Scripture, Jiang Fan was astonished, feeling that the people of this world had achieved unparalleled expertise in various poisons.

It recorded a variety of thods for refining poisons.

For example, Su Zui Qingfeng Smoke, once used, could easily spread throughout a whole room. After inhaling it, one would feel limp and powerless, soon falling unconscious, unable to wake for several hours.

Then there was Three Centipedes and Five Toads Smoke, a toxic smoke refined from the poisons within centipedes, toads, and other creatures. Once released and inhaled by others, one would bleed from the seven orifices and die.

Next was Intestine-breaking Powder, an extrely deadly poison. If ingested, it would cause intestinal rupture and death, with rapid onset, almost impossible to counteract with antidotes, even martial artists couldn't withstand it.

Then there was Hehuan Powder, when consud by a woman, it would make her feel unbearable.

"What is the background of that old man, dealing with disguises, poisons, and aphrodisiacs?"

"This is not Cao's Poison Scripture, but clearly Cao's Bandit Poison Scripture."

"Could he be an evil character from the martial world?"

Jiang Fan muttered to himself, not knowing what to say.

He instinctively realized that the old man was not a good person, it was no wonder he ended up like that.

Now he understood what the jars and bottles in the sack were.

It turned out they were various poisons refined by the old man.

Fortunately, he hadn't acted hastily.

If he had opened them rashly, he might have poisoned himself.

So he strongly suspected the identity of the deceased old man.

However, thinking about it again, since the other party was dead, their specific identity really didn't matter to him at all.

More importantly, Disguise Technique and Poison Scripture were imnsely helpful to him.

One could say it was truly an Eighth-Grade Opportunity, bringing him huge gains.

Of course, besides that, he also obtained thirty taels of silver.

Honestly, Jiang Fan didn't know what to say; he hadn't done anything, yet he obtained several dozen taels of silver.

His parents had worked hard for decades, barely accumulating much silver in their lifeti.

It could be said, the silver on him had surpassed his parents' years of savings.

If he lived frugally, he estimated he wouldn't need to go fishing for the next ten years without much problem.

Several hours passed again.

Jiang Fan calculated the ti; it was about dusk, so he returned to Osmanthus Village.

Upon arriving at the Osmanthus Village dock, he imdiately saw a large number of fishern gathered together, discussing animatedly, creating quite a lively scene.

"What's going on? What's happened? Why is it so lively?"

Jiang Fan stepped forward and asked curiously.

"Good news, great news!"

"You don't know, Zheng Wenbing's gang of bastards seed to have been ambushed."

"A group of them died in the deep mountains and wild woods."

"It's said that even the bodies were completely devoured by passing wolves, with only a pile of bones left."

"When the Dragon King Gang went to find them, they only managed to find so clothes and bones."

"Now the Dragon King Gang is furious, issuing a wanted notice everywhere, trying to find the killer."

Song Fugui laughed heartily.

After all, Zheng Wenbing and his crew bullied the people of Osmanthus Village terribly, and almost everyone hated them to the core.

If they were still alive, naturally no one dared to say anything.

But since the other party was dead, of course, everyone cursed them, venting their pent-up hatred.

"Dammit, trying to find the killer, it's simply dreaming."

"Never mind whether the Dragon King Gang can find them."

"Even if they do, does the Dragon King Gang dare to act?"

"Perhaps the killer is a powerful outsider."

"If they can kill Zheng Wenbing and his crew, surely they can kill other Dragon King Gang mbers."

"I think the Dragon King Gang is just a bunch of bullies, not really daring to issue a wanted notice."

Many villagers cursed, seeing through the Dragon King Gang's cowardly nature.

Their actions were rely to give their people an explanation.

Finding the killer was virtually impossible.

Perhaps the killer had long left Tonghe County after robbing them.

"Yes, truly karmic, they died excellently."

"If Old ng were to hear this news, his spirit in the heavens would be at peace."

Zhao Ziqiang said with deep emotion.

Beside him, Uncle ng's son ng Tie was also there. When he heard the news, he was very surprised and didn't know what to say, feeling sowhat lost.

He didn't know whether he was happy or sad.

Clearly lifelong enemies, yet they were killed by soone else in the blink of an eye.

To him, they were unbeatable foes.

But to others, Zheng Wenbing and his crew were like ants, easily killed.

What was happening with this world?
