The Crucial Point of a Disease Cultivator

The Western-Style House had just been painted, the walls were very white, which contrasted sharply with the Green Water Beggar's smile, which was covered in green pus, creating a unique blend of gloom and brilliance.

The Green Water Beggar's smile was indeed radiant. At this distance, if Chu Shaoqiang were to fight the Green Water Beggar head-on, he would have little chance of survival.

The methods of the Disease Cultivator are too difficult to counter. Either one must overwhelm the Disease Cultivator in terms of cultivation level, or there must be a special Daoist sect that can restrain the Disease Cultivator. Otherwise, if one encounters the Disease Cultivator face to face, even if the cultivation levels are equal, it is difficult to win. This has become a consensus among the high-level cultivators in Pro State.

Chu Shaoqiang walked down the stairs step by step, looking at the Green Water Beggar and said, "I really want to talk to you about what happened back then. Why were you so sure I wanted to seize Green Water Bay?"

Green Water Beggar blinked, seemingly recalling the past. " Of the Four Great Families and their four leaders, everyone thought Lu Dongliang had the highest cultivation level back then, but actually, you were the one with the highest cultivation level."

Your cultivation level has long surpassed the Ninth Layer, and you've even concealed a significant portion of it using certain Work Method. Local Earth God Cloud Above First Layer wouldn't be a match for you; I know all of this.

Chu Shaoqiang frowned and said, "Just because I'm the strongest, does that make me guilty? I never said I wanted to seize Green Water Bay, so why are you trying to kill me?"

Green Flower laughed, "By the time you spell it out clearly, do you think I'll still be able to hear you? You would have sent me to the Road to the Underworld long ago. Have you forgotten how Green Water Bay came to be? Wasn't it something I stole?"

Chu Shaoqiang shook his head and said, "There's a misunderstanding here. I really didn't..."

Green Water Beggar popped a boil, and the splattering dark green pus interrupted Chu Shaoqiang: "Stop wasting time. Labor Cultivator Hundred Blades. The longer you delay, the more you gain."

Chu Shaoqiang stopped in his tracks, seemingly avoiding the Green Water Beggar's pus. "The longer the Disease Cultivator plots, the greater his chances of winning. Let's catch up, you won't lose out."

Green Water Beggar shook his head and said, "My school emphasizes speed and surprise, and doesn't require so much planning."

"Surprise is indeed possible, but is your Daoist sect really fast?" Chu Shaoqiang shook his head. "Green Flower, your Daoist sect is very good at deceiving people. Disease Cultivator are very powerful, but they are not strong in speed."

The true power of Disease Cultivator lies in its "smallness"—the lesions are so small, so small that they are invisible, traceless, and silent.

No one knows when they will come, how they will come, or how to stop them.

Therefore, many people have a misconception that illness strikes like a landslide.

Everyone assumes the disease develops quickly, but the lesions actually appear slowly, though they are very small, catching people off guard.

"Like now, the pus you've squeezed out, the pustules all over your body—these are all visible, nothing to worry about. What I should worry about are those tiny, invisible ones; those are the real, inescapable lesions."

As soon as the words were spoken, fine snowflakes suddenly appeared in the hall of the Western-Style House.

Snowflakes contain invisible germs, or more accurately, the corpses of germs.

These germs were killed by the "snowflakes" and, enveloped in the snowflakes, kept falling from the air. The pungent alkaline smell made Green Flower's cheeks tremble slightly.

"What kind of magic weapon is this?" Green Flower rolled her eyes, seemingly searching for the source of the magic.

"It's not some magic weapon, it's just lime." Chu Shaoqiang picked up a "snowflake" from the air and crushed it into dust.

Upon hearing that it was lime, Green Water Beggar looked at the surrounding walls.

The once smooth white wall has become mottled, and large amounts of lime are rapidly peeling off the wall.

Chu Shaoqiang said, "The lesion is very small, so small that it can seep into anything. When I fought you back then, I built three layers of barriers, but they still couldn't stop you."

All these years have passed, but I've never forgotten that battle. For so many years, I've been thinking about how to defeat you.

Finally, I realized something: to beat you, you can't think about being faster than you, nor can you think about being flawless.

No matter how tight the defenses are, there will always be times when they fail. To defeat you, you must become as small as you.

So I stopped focusing on weapons and started focusing on the dust.

Whew~

The "snowflakes" in the hall suddenly became denser, and the Green Flower increased the release of germs.

The lime in the air reacted quickly, making the dust finer and more concentrated.

These lime dust particles didn't need to wait for Chu Shaoqiang's orders; they could directly fight the Green Water Beggar's germs. Their exquisite Work Method made the Green Water Beggar somewhat nervous.

What made Green Water Beggar most nervous was that Chu Shaoqiang had grasped the key to the Disease Cultivator.

"Small" is the most crucial element in Disease Cultivator.

"You think this lime is that effective?" Green Flower also grabbed a piece of lime and rubbed it in her hand.

Chu Shaoqiang was taken aback. "You think the lime is bigger than the lesions you created?"

Green Water Beggar said, "Anything that can be seen is not small."

"So there's some lime you didn't even see," Chu Shaoqiang laughed. "Take another sniff; that alkaline smell, isn't it almost burning your lungs?"

The lime snow fell heavier and heavier, forcing the Green Water Beggar to cover his body with pus.

There was an inexhaustible supply of lime in this house, and every grain of lime dust was Spiritual Object of Chu Shaoqiang, a Spiritual Object as tiny as a germ.

Now every speck of dust is fighting against germs, because of the alkalinity of lime, germs are almost powerless against it.

They fell for the trap.

The Green Water Beggar shouldn't have entered this house.

Now, even if he wanted to leave, it didn't seem so easy; the pus on his body was hardening and solidifying.

Chu Shaoqiang's figure had already disappeared into the limestone snow, but his voice remained. "Everything that needed to be said has been said. It's time for us to settle things once and for all."

Green Flower, I remember you had another trick up your sleeve: you could enter an unnamed place.

This is your last chance.

"I'm very interested in the Unnamed Land. Use this trick in front of me, and you can escape, and I can study it carefully. It's a win-win situation."

Green Flower didn't move; he was covered in lime and had turned into a snowman.

He was unwilling to open the unnamed place; it was too precious.

The current situation is that even if he opens the Unnamed Land, he may not be able to escape. The Unnamed Land may also be taken away by Chu Shaoqiang, and even his contract may be taken away.

Chu Shaoqiang stood amidst the limestone, silently gazing at the Green Water Beggar: "I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. In that case, I have no choice but to send you on your way."

A sudden gust of wind swept in, carrying dust that clung tightly to Green Water Beggar's body.

The pus on his body had completely hardened and solidified, causing the skin beneath it to harden and crack.

Beneath the skin lies flesh and bone, and beneath the flesh and bone lies the internal organs. Before long, the Green Water Beggar was filled with lime from head to toe, becoming dry and hard.

Chu Shaoqiang lit a cigarette and casually tossed the lighter onto the Green Water Beggar.

Bang!

The lighter smashed the Green Water Beggar's body.

Like a broken plaster statue, its brittle remains were scattered all over the ground.

Is this the corpse of the Green Water Beggar?

Yes, this is the true body of the Green Water Beggar.

Chu Shaoqiang was too well prepared. The Green Water Beggar lost any chance of escape as soon as he entered the house, and his body was completely petrified by the lime.

Has the Green Water Beggar died?

Chu Shaoqiang had some doubts.

Outside the courtyard, several hanging poles were still standing in their respective positions.

One of the hanging heads suddenly exploded, and bright green pus sloshed around inside its body cavity.

Chu Shaoqiang grabbed a handful of lime and threw it out the window, where it landed accurately on the hanging frame.

At the same time, the pus inside the body cavity quickly gathered together, transforming into a small green man more than a foot tall, which instantly disappeared from Chu Shaoqiang's sight.

Has the Green Water Beggar been resurrected?

Why did he suddenly disappear?

He went to an unnamed place, also known as the Dark Dimension Space in the Outer State. For Chu Shaoqiang, figuring out the truth about the Dark Dimension Space was far more valuable than killing the Green Water Beggar.

Thinking of the Dark Dimension Space, Chu Shaoqiang felt a pang of annoyance.

The pair of Judge's Brush I got could originally enter the Dark Dimension Space to a certain extent, but that idiot Huaijun gave them away!

We shouldn't have handed the family business over to him in the first place. It would have been much better to give it to Huai Yuan instead.

The Green Water Beggar was moving too fast, Chu Shaoqiang didn't get a clear look at some of the details in the Dark Dimension Space.

But that doesn't matter, Green Water Beggar still has lime on him, so Chu Shaoqiang can find him.

Green Water Beggar was very weak and could not stay in the Nameless Land for too long. He had to return to the normal land to replenish his strength.

He's doomed as soon as he comes out of the unknown place.

In the Boundless Hospital, Cui Tike sat in his office, his fingers lightly tapping the table.

He was nervous; a powerful enemy was approaching.

But at this moment he had no choice; he had to face this enemy.

Cui Tike put on a mask, opened the office door, and saw a man wearing a gray-white overcoat and a gray-white top hat standing at the door of his office.

"Sir, are you here to see me?" Cui Tike asked politely.

Chu Shaoqiang, standing at the door, was somewhat surprised. Logically speaking, this foreigner shouldn't be able to see him.

Was it Green Flower that reminded the foreigner?

No, he can definitely see me; you can tell from his tone and eyes.

Chu Shaoqiang looked behind Cui Tike: "I'm not here to find you, but the person I'm looking for is here."

Cui Tike looked back and said, "Are you here to see a patient? This is my office. If you want to see a patient, you should go to the ward."

A "snowflake" fell from the air and landed in Chu Shaoqiang's palm, confirming that the Green Water Beggar was in this room.

Chu Shaoqiang said with a smile, "I don't want to kill you, and I really don't want to right now. If you move aside, this whole thing will be none of your business."

Cui Tike shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, this office, and even the entire hospital, is my private property. I can't give way to this road."

Chu Shaoqiang's smile remained unchanged, "Then I can't let you live. You're really clueless."

Fine snowflakes fell slowly. Although this was not Chu Shaoqiang's house, Cui Tike was not Green Water Beggar. The lime on Chu Shaoqiang's body was enough to kill him.

A layer of green blisters rose up on Cui Tike's body, and many of the blisters burst quickly, splattering fluid among the snowflakes.

These slurries contain the aura of the Green Water Beggar. This foreigner can actually use the power of the Green Water Beggar?

Chu Shaoqiang tightened his guard, but his expression remained unchanged. "So you're Disease Cultivator. Are you trying to fight me to the death? I never expected that your Daoist sect would have such a loyal cultivator as you."

Cui Tike said, "I am indeed a loyal person, and I am willing to give my life for my sect."

Chu Shaoqiang nodded and said, "I can grant your wish."

Cui Tike remained standing at the door. "Don't be so impulsive. I believe you are a loyal person."

"You're sent by the Inner State. If your master doesn't want to offend a friendly nation, I suggest you don't lay a hand on me."

The word "master" was jarring; Chu Shaoqiang's cheek twitched, and his smile faded. "Foreign devil, who do you think you are?"

Cui Tike calmly replied, "I'm nothing, but this is my hospital, this is my territory."

There are many Spiritual Object and magical artifacts here, not for fighting, but for communication.

If you trespass on my territory, I will fight you to the death. If you kill me, the news will spread immediately and cause a lot of trouble. I advise you to think carefully before you act.

Chu Shaoqiang remained silent for a moment before leaving Boundless Hospital.

Cui Tike took off his mask and sat in a chair, catching his breath for a long time.

He was terrified. Since the Peddler Gang him control the Green Water Beggar's power, Cui Tike had never felt such a strong threat to his life.

A small green figure, about a foot tall, appeared on the table.

"Chu Shaoqiang has changed. Inner State has changed him too much," the little green man sighed. "If it were the old him, you would be dead by now. That's why I will never go to Inner State no matter what."

Cui Tike bowed to the little green man. "I love my Grandmaster, and my loyalty to Daoism will never change."

The little green man chuckled, "I trust you. You dare to challenge Chu Shaoqiang; you certainly have guts. What level of cultivation are you at now?"

"We're still on the seventh floor," Cui Tike said.

The little green man put his right hand on his left shoulder, twisted it forcefully, broke off his left arm, and handed it to Cui Tike: "Eat this, it will allow you to ascend to the eighth level."

"Thank you for the gift, Grandmaster!" Without hesitation, Cui Tike swallowed the arm.

The little green man nodded and said, "I have another task for you. Go to the Bastard Slope' and deliver some good stuff to that bastard. If you do it well, I'll send you to the Ninth Layer!"
