Poison Slayer Takes a Disciple

Poison Slayer Takes a Disciple

"Mm, Master, please accept your disciple's bow." Having already gained the benefits, Lin Yu did not hesitate in the slightest. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Poison Slayer, formally becoming his disciple.

"Good, good, good. Let me briefly tell you my rules!" Lin Yu nodded from the side as Poison Slayer continued, "When I take a disciple, no matter how great a mess you stir up outside, as long as I know about it, I will help you smooth it over. But if I learn that you have joined hands with my enemies, I will show no mercy and cut you down, just like your dead senior brother."

Hearing this, Lin Yu's body trembled. He had a feeling that his master's identity was definitely not as simple as it appeared. With strength like his, he must have quite a few enemies.

"My senior brother... had he betrayed you before?" Lin Yu asked curiously. He truly did not know what to say right now, and asking this was merely to ease the pressure.

"Remember this from this moment on: you have no senior brother. I, Poison Slayer, have only one disciple—Lin Yu. Do you understand?" Lin Yu nodded uncertainly after hearing this. He did not know why his master was here.

Whatever sort of people his master had once provoked, he would definitely avenge him.

"Master, no matter what kind of force you once provoked, since you have taken me as your disciple today, one day I will surely wipe those forces out." He did seem to be boasting now, but whatever he said, he would accomplish.

Poison Slayer fixed his gaze on Lin Yu. He looked so weak and small, yet there was an indescribable aura emanating from him, as though it were infecting Poison Slayer. Seeing the strange look in Poison Slayer's eyes, Lin Yu felt that he had truly gone too far with what he had just said. Perhaps he had really made the right choice in taking this disciple. Who could say for sure?

"Master? Did something happen?" He truly had no idea what Poison Slayer was thinking, nor why he was so lost in thought.

In that instant, Poison Slayer was pulled back by those words. He waved his hand and only spoke after a long while. "Enough. Let's leave this place first. There is no need to stay here any longer." Lin Yu nodded as well. The matters before them had never been something a little cultivator like him could interfere in.

Poison Slayer reached out with his left hand, directly scooped Lin Yu up, and shot straight toward the Heavenly Realm. Lin Yu could only click his tongue at the sight, feeling more and more as though he had found himself a bargain master.

Since Poison Slayer could fly through the air, there were likely not many in the Four Seas and Eight Wastes who could rival him. But how exactly did this aerial flight work? Lin Yu was rather puzzled.

Those great powers capable of riding clouds and mist through the world were generally reclusive masters. Even Lin Xuanmu, an elder of the Lin Family, did not possess such ability. Poison Slayer left Lin Yu so impressed that he did not know what to say.

After flying for an entire day and night, they finally stopped atop a snow mountain in the Four Seas and Eight Wastes. Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and sensed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. It was far more abundant than beside that little pool before. Perhaps this place concealed some secret as well.

"You've sensed it? The spiritual power between heaven and earth here is beyond anything you can imagine. I only discovered this place by chance." Poison Slayer explained the matters concerning the snow mountain to Lin Yu.

The spiritual power here could control the direction of the poison within one's body. For Lin Yu, this was also a good thing. To become a poison cultivator, the first requirement was a Poison Body. Yet Lin Yu currently possessed nothing more than an ordinary body of flesh.

If someone without a Poison Body chose to cultivate poison, trouble would arise sooner or later. Lin Yu still did not know just how painful it was to change one's body.

Streams of poisonous qi spread from Poison Slayer's body. Lin Yu immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and accepted that poisonous qi into himself. Then, with a long howl, Lin Yu fainted.

Poison Slayer shook his head. Seeing his precious disciple like this pained him as well, but it had to be done. A Poison Body was incomparably important to every poison cultivator. If poison cultivation were so easy, so many poison cultivators would not have gone astray on the path of cultivation.

At night, Lin Yu woke up. Poison Slayer took out a drop of blood essence and said to Lin Yu, "Swallow this blood essence. It can temper your body, and it can also make that mass of poisonous qi spread more slowly. It will benefit your body."

Lin Yu nodded upon hearing that. Blood essence was refined from Magic Beasts, and alchemists generally did this.

After he swallowed the blood essence, Poison Slayer moved behind him and sent streams of spiritual power into his body to help temper his flesh. Lin Yu felt that aura changing within his body. Threads of blood essence slowly entered his bloodline.

Only then did Lin Yu say, "Master, that's enough." Hearing this, Poison Slayer stopped. He truly had not expected that only one-tenth of the blood essence had been used. How could it possibly have been refined so quickly? Seeing Poison Slayer's puzzled expression, Lin Yu was puzzled as well.

After a long while, he gathered a mass of spiritual power before his body. Strands of spiritual power entered his flesh and refined the blood essence. Poison Slayer nodded at the sight. He truly had not expected the disciple he had taken in to possess such outstanding talent. Lin Yu quietly focused on tempering the blood essence.

One day to refine one drop of blood essence, tempering his body once more, then continuing to accept the corruption of that poisonous qi. Seeing that Lin Yu had awakened, Poison Slayer rose and said, "Mm. There is spiritual liquid in the storage ring. Take some out and drink it." Lin Yu was indeed somewhat hungry now and needed to recover properly.

As for Poison Slayer, his cultivation was unfathomable. Perhaps he had long since ceased needing to consume such things. Lin Yu took out the spiritual water and drank it, then stretched lazily. Poison Slayer gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and expanded Lin Yu's meridians.

Seeing Lin Yu asleep, Poison Slayer shook his head as well. It had been a long time since he had cared so deeply about anything. He only hoped that this time, he had not chosen the wrong disciple again...

The mistakes of the past had wounded his heart. In the instant he personally severed his disciple's head, how much sorrow had filled him? Snow suddenly began to fall upon the snow mountain. This snowfall had come at just the right time.

"Lin Yu, Lin Yu, I think you can't sleep now." Hearing this, Lin Yu rubbed his eyes and asked groggily, "Master, what exactly happened...?"

"The heavy snow has arrived. Your cultivation truly begins now." Hearing Poison Slayer's words, Lin Yu was still somewhat confused, yet he nodded. Did cultivation only truly begin now? Had these past two days merely been preparation?
