CHAPTER 416: A WIN-WIN OUTCOME FOR BOTH PARTIES

Recently, Chu Xinghe has started reflecting on his past failures.

Why did I fail before?

The main reason was my excessive flashy moves...

As the saying goes, "Too many words lead to mistakes"... I was the type to fail repeatedly due to too many flashy moves.

So, I, Chu Xinghe, have decided to learn from my mistakes and reduce all unnecessary actions as much as possible.

If I do nothing and just lay low... then how could I possibly lose?

But at this moment, Chu Xinghe was dumbfounded... This time, Chu Xinghe swore to the heavens, I really did nothing, I didn't provoke anyone...

Before the Poison Sovereign arrived, I had already assessed everything. Whether in terms of strength, experience, or any other aspect, I had no chance of winning against the Poison Sovereign...

So I was bound to lose this time...

But damn it, now the Poison Sovereign didn't even give me a chance to compete and directly admitted defeat willingly. Who could I complain to?

Chu Xinghe looked on calmly as the Great Elder enthusiastically introduced the various halls of the Grand Sky Sect to the numb-faced Poison Sovereign Ji Changfeng.

From the smile on the Great Elder's face, you could tell that he wouldn't let Ji Changfeng leave until he had squeezed out all his knowledge.

There was no choice... Ji Changfeng himself declared that if he lost at the Grand Sky Sect, he would willingly teach everything he knew to the sect...

With the Great Elder's style... does Ji Changfeng have any chance of leaving the Grand Sky Sect?

So the Great Elder immediately wanted to appoint Ji Changfeng as an Elder.

Ji Changfeng expressed that he had no intention of joining the Grand Sky Sect, he was just fulfilling his promise and would not accept the position of Elder.

Although the Great Elder was slightly disappointed, he still proposed the title of Guest Elder...

After all, Ji Changfeng was definitely going to teach poison techniques at the Grand Sky Sect, and it wouldn't be appropriate without a title, right?

So this time, Ji Changfeng didn't refuse the position of Guest Elder.

And thus, the first Guest Elder of the Grand Sky Sect was born...

The news of Guest Elder Ji Changfeng spread almost immediately throughout the entire Grand Sky Sect.

Initially, the most excited were the disciples of the Eternal Spring Palace.

After all, the Eternal Spring Palace specialized in poison techniques, but compared to Ji Changfeng, there was still a significant gap.

With Ji Changfeng becoming a Guest Elder at the Grand Sky Sect and willing to teach poison techniques, wouldn't our Eternal Spring Palace soar?

But with the Great Elder's arrangements, all the disciples of the various halls became excited.

Because the Great Elder's arrangements were straightforward and direct.

Why should only the Eternal Spring Palace learn poison techniques?

Is there any harm in learning poison techniques?

Our disciples of the Grand Sky Sect, when traveling outside every year, always encounter some incidents with poisonous creatures, leading to injuries or even death. ℞𝘈ℕồ𝔟Ɛꞩ

That's mainly because we don't understand poisons well enough.

And now we have the best poison technique teacher in the world, and you tell me only the Eternal Spring Palace should learn?

Is that the style of our Grand Sky Sect?

No way... no one would think that Ji Changfeng, becoming a Guest Elder at our Grand Sky Sect, could come and go as he pleases, right?

Ji Changfeng said that if he lost, he would teach his poison techniques, but he didn't specify to whom, right?

So theoretically, isn't it perfectly fine for everyone in the Grand Sky Sect to learn poison techniques?

Rest assured, Poison Sovereign Ji Changfeng... our Grand Sky Sect will definitely not mistreat you. We will provide you with the best teaching conditions and the highest resources... you can do whatever you want... but teaching is something you must do.

As for leaving the Grand Sky Sect... if one day we can't recruit new disciples, and the other disciples refuse to learn poison techniques... then you can leave...

The Great Elder arranged everything for Ji Changfeng with a joyful expression, while also marveling at how Chu Xinghe was becoming more and more unfathomable.

In the past, he could still see some traces of Xinghe's actions, but now he couldn't understand them at all.

This time, when Xinghe challenged Ji Changfeng, the Great Elder was worried... if Xinghe lost, it would definitely damage his reputation.

But the Great Elder never dreamed that Ji Changfeng wouldn't even have the chance to face Xinghe before being instantly defeated by Ouyang Ling and Jiu Li...

The most crucial part was Xinghe's final move, making Ji Changfeng bring out the Butterfly Love Flower.

Although Ji Changfeng had already admitted defeat before that, everyone could see that he wasn't truly convinced.

If it had ended like that, Ji Changfeng might have chosen to challenge Xinghe again another day.

But Xinghe, without any hesitation, comforted Ji Changfeng harshly, even suggesting he try his most potent poison.

From the fact that Ji Changfeng immediately brought out the Butterfly Love Flower, it was clear he wasn't convinced.

But when An Lan and the others ate the Butterfly Love Flower without any reaction, Ji Changfeng's last bit of pride, or rather his last bit of dissatisfaction, was completely shattered.

If it was just about being inferior to the Ouyang Family in terms of poison resistance, that would be fine, but damn it, now his poison was being compared to rat poison...

Do you know how much of a psychological blow that is to a Poison Sovereign?

To defeat a proud person, you must attack their most prideful aspect, and only by completely destroying it can they truly concede.

Ji Changfeng's pride was his poison techniques, and his strongest poison was the Butterfly Love Flower... yet it was utterly ineffective...

Of course, everyone understood that Ji Changfeng chose to stay not only to fulfill his previous promise but also because he discovered the wonders of the Grand Sky Sect.

As a Poison Sovereign, Ji Changfeng had made almost no progress in the past decade... because in terms of poison techniques, he was already unrivaled.

Even if he wanted to advance further, there was no one to guide him... he could only explore on his own.

Why did he want to use Luo Ying'er as a cauldron?

Because Ji Changfeng wanted to see if he could break through his current realm and reach a new height.

Using Luo Ying'er as a cauldron might be a possibility.

But now... at the Grand Sky Sect, Ji Changfeng found a new path for improvement.

Not to mention, Jiu Li's snacks are said to be more poisonous than poison itself... isn't that worth studying?

Being more poisonous than poison is a realm even his master, the Poison Saint, never achieved.

And then the Ouyang Family could withstand the poison of Jiu Li's snacks, how did they do it?

Do you think Ji Changfeng isn't curious?

Moreover... the failure of the Butterfly Love Flower gave Ji Changfeng a new perspective... let's not worry about why the Butterfly Love Flower failed.

Previously, when Ji Changfeng researched poisons... he could only test them on some animals or demonic beasts... there was no other way... although he occasionally tested on live humans, there weren't many available for testing.

But now, the immortal bodies of the Dark Moon Clan were like a treasure trove for Ji Changfeng!

Think about it... previously, testing on animals or demonic beasts, whether successful or not, always had some unknown factors, right?

But now, a group of Dark Moon Clan members can not only help you test various poisons, but they can also immediately provide feedback on the effects... tell me, what could be more terrifying for poison research?

So Ji Changfeng said he stayed to teach poison techniques, but for an old monster like him, staying just to fulfill a promise... no way... no one would really believe that, right?

He stayed because he saw that the Grand Sky Sect could offer him things he could never get elsewhere.

Similarly, the Grand Sky Sect kept him because they could learn things from him that they couldn't learn anywhere else.

This is a win-win situation.

With Ji Changfeng at the Grand Sky Sect, resources are at your disposal, research whatever you want... previously, if you needed a medicinal herb, you had to travel around, but now you don't have to worry about that at all, just say what you need... leave it to the Muyue Nation to cultivate, and they don't cultivate by the piece, they cultivate by the acre...

No matter how precious the herb, they'll start with three to five acres... you tell me if that's enough.

What? You say Ji Changfeng developed a new poison... wouldn't the Dark Moon Clan laugh and volunteer to try it out...

Resources maxed out... plenty of test subjects, Ji Changfeng isn't a fool... is this the Grand Sky Sect... isn't this a paradise?

As for teaching the Grand Sky Sect his poison techniques, Ji Changfeng couldn't care less.

Ji Changfeng's master, the Poison Saint, once had an idea, if one day the knowledge of the Medicine Saint and the Poison Saint could be combined, could it result in the ancient voodoo techniques?

Unfortunately, this idea couldn't be realized back then.

But now, Ji Changfeng has this opportunity.

As the heir of the Poison Saint, and with Chu Xinghe being the heir of the Medicine Saint, if he stays at the Grand Sky Sect and teaches the Poison Saint's inheritance to Chu Xinghe, could there be a day when Chu Xinghe truly combines medicine and poison to develop the ancient voodoo techniques?

So even though Ji Changfeng lost miserably this time, his stay at the Grand Sky Sect wasn't just because of a promise.

After all, a promise... I say it casually, you listen casually... if anyone truly believes it, they must be naive.

Of course, on the surface, no one can say this, so the official reason for Ji Changfeng staying is his commitment to his promise.

The Great Elder is also a wise person, how could he not understand this?

But with Ji Changfeng staying at the Grand Sky Sect, it's a huge gain for us...

A Guest Elder is also an Elder of our Grand Sky Sect.

For so many years, countless people have invited Ji Changfeng to join them, but he has always been a lone wolf, and his poison techniques are not just about poisons...

His various techniques also incorporate poison techniques, and now that Ji Changfeng is staying, he will definitely teach his poison techniques, no matter to whom, it will strengthen our Grand Sky Sect.

The Great Elder had considered Ji Changfeng defeating Xinghe, and also Xinghe losing to Ji Changfeng.

But he never expected such a happy ending...
