New Skill

With a clang, the cleaver struck demons's body, only splashing a few sparks without causing any harm.

"You lowly food, a mere Martial Artist of the Skin Refining Realm, how dare you attack me!" demons, who had been attacked, became furious, her face turning extremely terrifying and ferocious.

She slapped Qi the Third flying into the wall, shattering the surrounding wall into pieces.

Struck heavily, Qi the Third spat out a large mouthful of blood, lying on the ground, on the verge of death.

She grabbed Qi the Third's head and lifted him entirely, swallowing him whole from head to toe.

"Gulp." After finishing Qi the Third, demons let out a burp and looked at the two people standing in the inner courtyard.

"You two, find someone to capture the youth he mentioned. He dared to kill my 'human pill' and ruin my good deed, so he can only be refined into a 'human pill'."

"Also, find someone to clean up the bloodstains and repair the damaged wall."

"Yes, demons."

After witnessing the terrifying scene of someone being swallowed alive, the two walked to the front yard trembling. Mister Li looked at Butler:

"Old Tang, how many guards are in the mansion tonight? What are their strengths? Can we take down Luo Wei's nephew?"

"Reporting to master, there are a total of eighteen guards in the mansion tonight, three Martial Artists of the Skin Refining realm, and the rest are ordinary people with strong physiques."

"Since Luo Wei's nephew was able to deal with the Qi Family Brothers, with the current strength of the guards in the mansion, it should be difficult to capture him."

After hearing Butler's report, Mister Li thought for a moment and said, "Go to the storeroom and get two hundred and fifty taels of silver, and send it to the five hall masters in town to have them take action."

"Yes! Master!"

With a large bag slung over his waist, all his belongings stuffed in his arms, and holding younger sister Luo Xi by the hand, he walked to the front of "Wang Meng's" house.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After eating the Tiger whip Luo Yi gave him these past two days, Wang Meng felt like he had returned to his twenties, taming his wife completely.

Wang Meng, who was sleeping soundly with his wife in his arms, heard the knocking sound outside. He reached out, took the cleaver hidden under his pillow, and cautiously walked to the main gate of the courtyard.

"Uncle Wang, it's me, Xiao Yi!"

Listening to the knocking sound outside, Wang Meng saw through the crack in the door that Luo Yi and Luo Xi were standing outside, with Luo Yi dragging an unknown figure.

He hurriedly opened the door and welcomed them in.

Seeing him carrying all his belongings on his back and dragging a youth like a dead dog.

Wang Meng quickly asked, "Xiao Yi, why are you not sleeping at home so late at night, carrying bags and baggage? Where are you going? And who is this person?"

Fearing that danger could come at any moment, Luo Yi briefly recounted the events of the evening to Wang Meng.

After hearing Luo Yi's story, Wang Meng, worried that the accomplices might return at any moment, hurriedly took the two into the main hall and closed the door.

"Xiao Yi, do you know the identity of the group who attacked you tonight? Or have you offended anyone recently? Or could it be your father's old enemies coming to seek revenge?"

After Wang Meng finished speaking, Luo Yi shook his head.

"I'm not sure of their identities. Recently, besides Luo Wei's group, I haven't offended anyone else."

"As for whether they are my father's enemies, I'm not too sure. After all, I've been studying at home for the past while."

After hearing Luo Yi's explanation, Wang Meng walked over to "Second Qi," who looked like a dead dog.

He brushed aside the person's messy hair, revealing his face.

Looking at "Second Qi's" face, Wang Meng felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't quite recall the specifics.

"Xiao Yi, this person hasn't woken up even after you've done this to him. The poison is too potent. Without finding an antidote, it's unlikely he'll wake up soon."

After hearing Wang Meng's explanation, Luo Yi nodded.

"Uncle Wang, you've traveled the martial world for years. Do you know what poison this person has taken? Or is there any way to detoxify it?"

Wang Meng shook his head.

Seeing that Uncle Wang also had no solution for the antidote.

Luo Yi thought of the "Introduction to Poisons" he had found on this person. He opened his hunting backpack, took out the "Introduction to Poisons," and began to study it carefully.

When Wang Meng saw the manual Luo Yi took out, he examined it closely and found that he didn't recognize many of the characters inside. He helplessly shook his head.

"Xiao Yi, you and Xiao Xi will rest here tonight. Call me immediately if anything happens."

After speaking, Wang Meng walked towards the door, preparing to accompany his wife.

"Thank you for taking us in tonight, Uncle Wang."

Upon hearing this, Wang Meng waved his hand, "Xiao Yi, you've saved my life twice. There's no need to be so polite between us."

After Wang Meng left, he looked at his panicked younger sister and comforted her.

"Don't worry, Xiao Xi, we're safe for now. Go get some rest."

After speaking, Luo Yi opened the "Introduction to Poisons" in his hand and began to study it carefully.

As he continued to flip through the "Introduction to Poisons," Luo Yi became increasingly alarmed. Although this book was called "Introduction to Poisons" and seemed to contain common knowledge, in reality, the content within the book was far from simple.

Besides the identification of various poisonous herbs and creatures, it also covered the methods of developing, mixing, and administering poisons.

It also contained detailed explanations of the medicinal properties of herbs from many Great Qi countries, and methods for refining pills that could aid in the cultivation of the "Four Realms of Body Refining."

Who exactly were these people? How did they even possess such a thing?

Unable to guess their origins, Luo Yi began to read the book seriously.

After finishing the entire book, Luo Yi thought to himself:

I wonder if this "Introduction to Poisons" can be recorded by the system panel?

He silently recited the command to open his status panel:

Host: Luo Yi
Age: 16
Realm: Skin Refining (Great Completion)
Skills: Basic Archery (Great Completion 125/400)
Fierce Tiger Skin Refining Technique (Great Completion 1/400)
Introduction to Poisons (Uninitiated 1/10)
Traits: None

Looking at the newly added "Introduction to Poisons" skill on his panel.

"Huh?" Luo Yi exclaimed in surprise!

It was different from the progress required for other skills to upgrade. It only needed 10 points of progress to level up.

Unable to figure out the specific reason for the reduced progress, Luo Yi flipped open "Introduction to Poisons" and began to read it from the beginning.

Before he could even finish reading it once, hurried footsteps and hushed voices could be heard from the alley outside Wang Meng's house.

Hearing so many footsteps near his home, Luo Yi guessed that the people who had attacked him earlier had returned with accomplices for revenge.

Holding his breath, Luo Yi waited for the footsteps to recede before cautiously approaching Wang Meng's room.

Just as he was about to knock, he saw Wang Meng open the door from the inside.

"Shhh!" Wang Meng made a silencing gesture with his hand.

The two of them carefully walked to the main hall and closed the door tightly.

"Xiao Yi, you heard the commotion outside too."

Luo Yi nodded.

"Uncle Wang, I suspect it's the accomplices of the people who ambushed me tonight."

If the situation turns bad, before they find this place, I'll take Xiao Xi and flee out of town.

This is to prevent Uncle Wang, his wife, and Xiao Yong from being implicated.

"What are you saying, boy? Am I, Wang Meng, someone who fears trouble? Just stay here with peace of mind. No one dares to barge into my house casually."
