CHAPTER 91: CHAPTER 64: POISON CANON (PART 2)

However, Mr. Chen was even more reclusive than him, almost never interacting or communicating with others.

"Sit down."

Chen Peijun sat down and took a sip of tea, gesturing for Lin Zheyu to make himself comfortable.

"Since you’ve already sworn a poisonous oath, I will teach you seriously as promised."

"But mastering the Poison Tao is not easier than practicing martial arts; it requires learning many things."

"For example, poisoning methods, toxin making, poison identification, and detoxification skills, all of which demand a lot of effort to learn."

"However, if you can master toxin theory, even if you’re just a Bone Forging Realm martial artist, you can kill a Qi Blood Realm martial artist."

Chen Peijun spoke calmly, his tone full of confidence.

Lin Zheyu thought to himself, so why haven’t you poisoned Gang Leader Zhao Guanbin then? It’s not because poison also has significant limitations.

Nevertheless, the fact that Mr. Chen could collaborate with Liang Song, who had achieved the Qi Blood Three Transformations, meant his Poison Tao shouldn’t be underestimated.

"I don’t plan to master toxin theory; I just want to learn detoxification skills to prevent being plotted against," Lin Zheyu said.

His focus was on the Martial Dao, and learning toxin theory was simply to prevent others from scheming against him.

"It’s not that simple."

"To learn detoxification skills, you must first learn poison identification methods. Only by clearly understanding all toxins can you better prevent them."

"The types of poison in the world are so numerous that it’s impossible to know them all."

"Fortunately, after being poisoned, the human body exhibits special reactions, such as dizziness, blurred consciousness, slow Qi Blood flow, purple pupils, and black lips."

"Based on the characteristics after poisoning, one can roughly judge the type of poison and treatment methods..."

Chen Peijun spoke eloquently and in detail, and Lin Zheyu listened intently.

The theories he explained were important, but even more crucial were daily training and cultivating one’s sensitivity to poisons.

This is a skill that comes with practice. The more one is exposed to poisons, the more sensitive one becomes to them, making it easier to recognize them when someone attempts to poison you.

"What I just explained were the basic principles. Knowing is one thing; doing is another."

"This is the ’Poison Canon’ handed down through my family, compiled and refined by several generations, resulting in a comprehensive tome on poisons."

"Most common poisons and detoxification methods are recorded here. If you encounter a rare and potent poison, you must rely on experience to deal with it."

After finishing his explanation, Chen Peijun took out a thick book, about five centimeters thick, which made Lin Zheyu gasp in amazement.

A book this thick would take a long time to read, let alone memorize.

"This contains notes on learning poisons and poison knowledge. Take it home and study it slowly. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me."

"I do not forbid you from passing the Poison Canon to others, but before teaching it, they must swear a poisonous oath," said Chen Peijun.

"Thank you, senior!"

Lin Zheyu took the book and began to flip through it briefly.

In this era, knowledge is expensive, especially such rare toxin knowledge. Unexpectedly, Chen Peijun gave the Poison Canon directly to him.

Upon briefly skimming it, he found the book very new, likely freshly printed.

"Could it be that Mr. Chen is using the Poison Canon as a bargaining chip to find people everywhere to take revenge for him?"

Lin Zheyu muttered, speculating that Chen Peijun might have given this to more than just him.

Perhaps Chen Peijun used the Poison Canon as a price to hire many people to assassinate Zhao Guanbin.

After flipping through it, he discovered the Poison Canon recorded various poisonous herbs, flowers, creatures, and insects, all with hand-drawn illustrations and many poison formulas.

A few rare mild toxic herbs, combined with some non-toxic herbs, could produce a potent drug that could render a Qi Blood Realm martial artist unconscious.

The various poisons opened Lin Zheyu’s eyes.

With this Poison Tao Secret Canon and meticulous research, it would be easy to cultivate a considerable force.

But relying on it to create a force that rivals the Zhao Family would not be an easy task.

The powerful Zhao Family isn’t backed by just one Qi Blood Realm martial artist; there could be some undead in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm hidden behind the scenes.

If you want to build such a family, first and foremost, you need top-level powerful warriors.

Solely relying on poisons, no matter how deep your attainment, if your strength is insufficient, there are still significant limitations.

Take Lin Zheyu, for example; if he encountered a Poison Tao expert, he wouldn’t foolishly rush to fight but would instead attack with throwing knives from a distance.

If their strength is weaker than his, they’ll die if they can’t dodge the knives.

Conversely, a Qi Blood Realm expert, whose perception is extremely sensitive, would find it difficult for a weak poison master to approach and poison them.

"So, what do you think of this Poison Canon? Are you satisfied?"

Seeing the surprise on Lin Zheyu’s face, Mr. Chen asked with a gentle smile.

"Satisfied, thank you for the teaching, senior. When I have enough strength one day, I will surely kill Zhao Guanbin for you."

Lin Zheyu promised.

Overall, this Poison Canon, as a reward for assassinating a Qi Blood Realm martial artist, is absolutely worth it.

"Hmm."

Mr. Chen nodded in satisfaction, "Killing Zhao Guanbin is not easy. The Zhao Family is also skilled in poison, and there are many Poison Tao experts."

"Even if you are strong enough, you must be careful when assassinating Zhao Guanbin to avoid being poisoned by them."

"I will remember that," Lin Zheyu nodded.

The Zhao Family’s expertise in poisons, given their foundation in pharmaceuticals, is to be expected.

"Medicine King?"

"Senior, is this book from Medicine King Village?"

While reading the book, Lin Zheyu saw the words "Medicine King" and asked curiously.

In the book, many contents and poison formulas were annotated with small characters indicating the generation of the Medicine King.
