Five Cauldrons

"Finally, someone who can talk has arrived." Zhang Rongfang grinned. He released the white-haired old man and Ding Xiaocui, and slowly walked to the woman named Chen Zhaorong.

He looked down at her.

"My name is Zhang Rongfang, and I've come to ask for your help."

Cold sweat slowly slid down the woman's temples. Only by truly standing in front of her could one understand the terrifying pressure she felt!

At 1.9 meters tall, she looked underdeveloped next to this person, and had to look up to meet his gaze.

She felt as if she were breathing right next to the mouth of a giant carnivorous beast, as if it could swallow her whole with a single gulp.

"You can choose to refuse, but I can't guarantee that I won't do something irreversible if I get angry."

Zhang Rongfang bent down, gently placed his hand on the other person's head, and rubbed it gently, just like a father stroking his daughter's forehead.

"Good! It is an honor for Baohelou to be able to help such a powerful figure as Your Treasure Harmony Building!" Chen Zhaorong's entire body was frantically sending out warning signals.

She forced herself to suppress her fear and squeezed out those words through gritted teeth.

"Not bad!" Zhang Rongfang nodded in satisfaction.

He intended to leverage the largest local power and its long-established intelligence network to quickly locate the Five Cauldrons Sect and Ding Yu.

Since he had decided to stop hiding, he might as well make a name for himself and let everyone know of his existence, so that they would all understand that Zhang Rongfang had a place in the Great Ling! Immediately, Chen Zhaorong suppressed her fear, ordered the scene to be dealt with, and then invited Zhang Rongfang to enter the secret room of Treasure Harmony Building to discuss matters.

Soon, ten minutes later, she quickly came out and ordered her servants to buy a large quantity of various kinds of highly poisonous substances. At the same time, she also sent Treasure Harmony Building's most skilled poisoner to the main building.

Zhang Rongfang, on the other hand, simply found another Quiet Room to stay in at Treasure Harmony Building.

For him, let alone the mere Treasure Harmony Building, there were only a handful of people in the entire Dan Province who could make him feel any fear.

One of the Great Grandmaster and Spirit General of the Heaven Lock Sect is Tian Suo Sect. Unfortunately, the Heaven Lock Sect is likely to have suffered heavy losses due to the attack by Master Yue. It is estimated that joining the so-called Five Sects Circle was a forced and humiliating move.

To his surprise, he had expected Chen Zhaorong to cause some more trouble to test the limits of his strength.

Unexpectedly, she actually started doing things for him obediently.

Moreover, he is extremely efficient in his work.

In just two days, he had gathered the poison he needed.

The Treasure Harmony Building.

The Scripture Recitation Room.

Knock knock knock.

Chen Zhaorong took a deep breath, knocked on the door, and carried the last basket of the top-grade poison and sedative she had just found.

Two of them are even more expensive than gold, and they are extracted and mixed from rare venomous insects.

"Come in," Zhang Rongfang's voice came from inside.

Chen Zhaorong slowly pushed the door open and went in.

This quiet Scripture Recitation Room, located on the top Treasure Harmony Building, where there was no disturbance except for birdsong, was originally her private space for relaxing.

But now, it's all taken over by this burly, tall man from another province.

The Scripture Recitation Room was quite spacious, measuring over ten meters in both length and width. The floor was paved with smooth, dark gray stone slabs, and the walls were grayish-white.

There was only one Prayer Mat in the center.

Zhang Rongfang sat cross-legged on Prayer Mat. The surroundings were empty; there was no furniture or decoration in sight.

White walls, black ground, and an utterly alone.

This inexplicable scene miraculously calmed Chen Zhaorong, who was initially agitated.

"Senior Zhang, all the medicines you requested have been collected. This is a total of thirty-five top-tier drugs that can cause death or unconsciousness within a hundred breaths."

Most of the rest are extensions and variations of these thirty-five types, so there's no need to collect them repeatedly.

"And the rarer ones are not something we can collect in a short time." Chen Zhaorong earnestly regarded herself as a subordinate and reported with her head bowed.

"Very good." Zhang Rongfang opened his eyes and looked at the other person with appreciation.

This woman is extremely pragmatic, acts swiftly and decisively, and never procrastinates.

Compared to Qing Su, she is no less capable, and is even more adaptable to this cruel environment in terms of flexibility and resilience.

Zhang Rongfang has now seen through it all.

This Great Ling is a world where the strong prey on the weak.

Strong people are everywhere, even Gods and Buddhas look down on you. No matter how strong you are, there will always be someone stronger than you.

Therefore, learning how to deal with those stronger than oneself, as Chen Zhaorong did, is the most effective way to survive.

"Senior, is there anything else I can do for you?" Chen Zhaorong asked earnestly, seemingly without any sign of being forced.

"You're quite good. Next, help me find the Five Cauldrons Sect and their headquarters. I need to find someone named Ding Yu."

Zhang Rongfang took out the portrait from his sleeve, tossed it lightly, and sent it flying, landing precisely in Chen Zhaorong's hand.

"I understand. I'll get on it right away."

"Etc."

Zhang Rongfang suddenly called out to her.

"If things are handled well, I can grant you a reasonable request."

A glint flashed in Chen Zhaorong's eyes, and she immediately nodded seriously, turned around, and quickly left.

The door closed and shut.

Zhang Rongfang picked up the basket, took out the bottles and jars inside, and put them together with the other poisons from before.

They laid everything out on a black cloth spread out behind them.

There are a total of thirty-five kinds of poisons.

He reached out and picked up a bottle.

"Let me see just how potent the poisons are in Dan Province, a place known for its poisons!"

He uncorked the bottle and took a gentle sniff.

Suddenly, a feeling of dizziness washed over me.

"Sharp!"

The dizziness quickly disappeared on its own.

The life points, far exceeding what ordinary people could imagine, granted Zhang Rongfang terrifying physical strength and recovery speed.

Ordinary poisons were like chili peppers to him.

"This is much more potent than chili peppers. The poisons outside aren't this strong." Zhang Rongfang shook the small bottle, then gently poured a drop into his hand.

Hiss. The poison actually emitted a faint white smoke from his skin, making a corrosive sound.

Zhang Rongfang himself was Pill Master, so he naturally knew that the so-called poison, in essence, could be anything that was harmful or detrimental to the human body.

As long as his body is still affected by drugs, it will inevitably be affected by poisons.

Because medicine and poison are two sides of the same coin.

Medicines used to treat injuries can become poison if their properties change even slightly.

This is the fundamental reason why there is no one in the world who is completely immune to poison.

'If I truly reach that level, then all medicines will be useless against me. Not just poisons.'

Immediately, he gently poured a little of the poison from the small bottle into his mouth.

Hiss. The corrosive smell of the poisonous fumes made a hissing sound in his mouth.

"It hurts a little, but it's bearable."

The poison here is much more potent than in that small village before.

Since he is going to have to deal with the Five Cauldrons Sect, he must be fully prepared.

Let's first understand just how powerful their most powerful weapon—poison—is.

He slowly finished one bottle, and then picked up a new one.

First, test a small amount on the skin, then ingest a small amount.

Time passed little by little.

With each of the thirty-five poisons tested.

Zhang Rongfang discovered that most poisons could have a slight effect on him.

But soon, the powerful recovery and regeneration abilities quickly repaired the damage to the body.

The dosage of poison here would not have been able to harm him unless it was Tenfold.

With his five senses, it was impossible for him not to detect Tenfold dose.

'From this perspective, everything seems much safer.'

Don't worry.

Zhang Rongfang opened the Attribute Panel again.

I've accumulated quite a few Attribute Points these past few days, and now it's time to use them up.

Zhang Rongfang – Life 239-239.

Available Attributes: 13'

Leaving aside other complex items, the attribute has now reached 13 points.

'So, should we directly improve my Civilian Skill or...' Zhang Rongfang hesitated for a moment before putting all his Attribute Points into his health.

His health points rapidly increased from 239 to 252 in the blink of an eye. As for the poison he had just tried, it had no effect on him at all.

"I'm almost fifty again. I'm more looking forward to new Trait Talent than improving my Martial Arts Level."

His first Trait Talent gave him Dark Light Vision, which was a great help at one point.

His second Trait Talent is Blood Flesh Completion, which directly determines his true trump card in actual combat and led to the appearance of the Blood Lotus.

So, the third Trait Talent... Although previously, he was completely suppressed in martial arts by the Grandmaster of the Extreme Realm.

But Zhang Rongfang still doesn't think he's on the wrong track.

Just then, streams of scorching air appeared out of thin air from his chest and abdomen, then dispersed into a net-like pattern, rapidly rising and converging throughout his body.

What he could clearly feel was that new tumors were indeed beginning to form next to the Blood Lotus on his back.

He reached out and touched it, and sure enough, there was another much smaller fleshy tumor on the side of the Blood Lotus.

'Could it really grow Three Flowers?' This thought flashed through Zhang Rongfang's mind.

He immediately forgot about it.

'Next, the research will focus on whether Blood Lotus can be artificially created to guide its growth.'

This step is quite important if you can truly pass it on to others.

No one else could possibly have such terrifying Life Force as him.

However, there is one type of person who is quite suitable for creating the Blood Lotus.

Those were the many Daoists who purely cultivated Civilian Skill!

If such a person could transform the Life Force accumulated over decades into Blood Lotus, Zhang Rongfang could only imagine how exciting that scene would be.

The Blood Lotus can instantly unleash a terrifying Blood Lotus State, comprehensively enhancing all of the body's qualities.

Although the duration was short, its power was terrifying. Combined with his unique blood-absorbing ability to Blood Flesh Completion, it was practically Worship God killer! Immediately, he calmed himself down. He recalled what he had just observed: after his life force increased, some of it overflowed and condensed into the new Blood Lotus.

Then slowly release the Blood Lotus and observe the steps it takes to transform and change the body.

Both are indispensable.

***"The Third Type"

The "third type"

"Found it!"

Ding Yu cheered inwardly, suppressed her excitement, and carefully placed the book she was holding on the bed to examine it closely.

The book was exquisitely decorated with a delicate, blood-red herbal pattern.

"Blood Coagulation Grass! The last Treasure Medicine has finally been found!" Ding Yu was moved, and his eyes were slightly moist.

He's gotten thinner and thinner these past few days.

Lan Siyi, on the other hand, became more and more plump, and even the pimples on her face seemed to have subsided considerably.

Of course, because of his attentive efforts, Lan Siyi's attitude towards him improved a lot, and she no longer treated him as a tool for sexual release.

As a result, his treatment here improved considerably, and he was allowed to freely browse the books here.

'Now we've found clues to all three of the Treasure Medicine that the adults want, and they're all actually stored in the Five Cauldrons Sect's medicine storehouse.'

If it weren't for my improper identity as an intruder, this place would truly be a treasure trove of Treasure Medicine!

Ding Yu felt a surge of emotion.

Looking back now, all the suffering was worth it.

Next, we need to find a way to get the message out so that Daozi Michiko can come to our rescue and get the medicine!

As for how to send the message
