Ling Yi probably never expected that Hei Zun was actually a drunkard.
To be precise, Hei Zun only officially became a drunkard half an hour ago.
Previously, Hei Zun had never been exposed to alcohol.
Although he had never been exposed to alcohol, Hei Zun had consumed thousands upon thousands of Memory Orb, so he naturally had some knowledge of alcohol.
On his very first drink, Black Mouth fell in love with the drink.
Now, there are five or six wine jars on the table.
For an ordinary person, five or six jars of wine would probably be enough to kill them.
But Hei Zun remained completely Changes, only his eyes were slightly unfocused, indicating he was in a slightly tipsy state.
Of course, at most one can only get slightly tipsy.
Hei Zun is now at the Third Tier of cultivation, with Demon Core within his body, and has officially become a demon cultivator.
This amount of wine was not enough to make Hei Zun drunk.
This slightly tipsy state was deliberately controlled by the Hei Zun; he didn't use his Demon Beast Power to neutralize the effects of the alcohol.
"This wine gets weaker and weaker the more you drink it. Do you know where you can find good wine?" Hei Zun asked, patting the wine jar with his paw.
" Hei Zun, just let me know if you'd like some fine wine. My Dragon Gate Inn, run by Jin Xiangyu, has been around for many years, and we do have a fair selection."
At this moment, Jin Xiangyu walked over carrying two wine jars.
"Fine wine?"
"This wine is called Agarwood, and it's worth a fortune. It's made from dozens of precious medicinal herbs using deep spring water and a secret brewing method. It's priceless and unavailable on the market. Even the Zhu Clan would find it extremely difficult to get a sip."
As he spoke, Jin Xiangyu sat down opposite Hei Zun, and with a flick of his wrist, the two wine jars flew into the air.
He pushed aside the mess of cups and plates on the table, wiped the surface with his sleeve, and then caught the falling wine jar.
He gently placed the wine jar on the table.
He then placed both hands on the wine jar and looked at the Hei Zun.
Hei Zun's nose twitched. Cats have an extremely keen Sense of Smell, and even though the wine jar was sealed with mud, they could still smell the aroma of the wine inside.
"It is indeed fine wine!" said the Hei Zun!
"Of course, if I, Jin Xiangyu, say it's good wine, then it's good wine, I absolutely won't lie."
Hei Zun remained silent; he could tell that this woman wanted something.
Having consumed nearly ten thousand Memory Orb and experienced nearly ten thousand previous lives, how could Hei Zun not understand this woman's intentions?
"I want to join the Good and Evil House. As long as I join, I will give the formula for this Agarwood Good and Evil House Hei Zun. How about it?" Jin Xiangyu asked bluntly.
"How much more are you lacking?" Hei Zun asked.
Jin Xiangyu's eyes lit up, and she gestured three. "Three hundred!"
"Alright!" Hei Zun hesitated for a moment before accepting the bribe.
Since Ling Yi told Jin Xiangyu the missing Good Value, it was essentially tantamount to acknowledging Jin Xiangyu's identity as the eleventh prison guard.
Otherwise, Hei Zun would naturally not dare to help.
At this point, the Hei Zun looked at Murong Fu and Ouyang Feng and said, "You two wait here. Don't even think about running away. If I want to find you, I'll find you even if I have to go to the ends of the earth."
Neither Murong Fu nor Ouyang Feng spoke; they simply nodded.
"Manager Jin, let's go!"
Hei Zun left with Jin Xiangyu.
Murong Fu and Ouyang Feng exchanged a glance and immediately went upstairs.
As Murong Fu had predicted, Ling Yi was not accompanied by Wang Yuyan.
Murong Fu's original plan was thus rendered ineffective.
Therefore, they prepared to carry out Ouyang Feng's poisoning plan.
In a guest room on the second floor, Ouyang Feng took out two boxes, one black and one red.
"This red box contains a poison made from the Venom of dozens of poisonous insects. Even Grandmaster would surely die if he ingested it."
"This poison will take effect in about half an Shichen after ingestion, so you must choose the right time."
Ouyang Feng said to Deng Baichuan.
Murong Fu and Ouyang Feng certainly wouldn't take action themselves, so the task was handed over to Murong Fu's two retainers, Deng Baichuan and Gongye Qian.
"But we can't get into Jin Xiangyu's kitchen; there are Innate masters guarding the entrance!" Deng Baichuan frowned.
"I've observed that all the water used by the Dragon Gate Inn comes from the dry well in the backyard. You just need to pour the poison into the well at the right time."
"Doesn't this mean at least several hundred lives have been lost?" Deng Baichuan asked incredulously.
This Ouyang Feng truly lives up to his name, the Western Venom; he's incredibly vicious!
"Is there an antidote?" Deng Baichuan asked Ouyang Feng.
"Only one!" Ouyang Feng said. Indeed, there was only one, but this one was not the antidote.
At most, the onset of the poison can be delayed by twelve Shichen.
This is the most vicious of all the poisons Ouyang Feng has concocted.
However, it is also the most difficult to refine, so its quantity is not large.
When Deng Baichuan heard that there was only one antidote, his expression became conflicted.
Ouyang Feng glanced at Murong Fu with some displeasure, as if to say, "Is this the loyal retainer you speak of?"
Asking too many pointless questions probably doesn't indicate a particularly loyal person.
Murong Fu said helplessly, "This matter is indeed against good, but for the sake of the great cause, it is all worthwhile. As the saying goes, 'One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand.'"
"If Ling Yi is not eliminated, our plan will inevitably fail. Therefore, Ling Yi must die, no matter the cost."
"Moreover, Ling Yi's Heaven-Changing Great Method and Bodhi Divine Skill are of great help to us."
Deng Baichuan nodded, grabbed the red cesium wooden box, and turned to leave.
This scene made Murong Fu feel very embarrassed, and he frowned in dissatisfaction.
"You, my retainer, had better not cause any trouble, or you and I will be hunted down by the Good and Evil House!"
Hearing this, Deng Baichuan, who hadn't yet left the house, paused, sighed, and turned to leave.
At this moment, Ouyang Feng placed the black cesium box in front of Gongye Qian.
"There's Earthworm Snake in here, only half the thickness of a chopstick, as small as an earthworm, but its venom is extremely potent. Find an opportunity to release it into Ling Yi's room."
Poisoning alone wasn't enough to guarantee safety, so Ouyang Feng prepared an extremely poisonous substance.
Ouyang Feng spoke, he opened the box containing the black cesium.
Immediately, three small, chubby heads popped out of the box.
Murong Fu and Gongye Qian immediately took a few steps back.
"Don't worry, it's just to let these pets get to know you, so they don't hurt your own people," Ouyang Feng explained.
After saying that, he closed the box and handed it to Gongye Qian.
"Be extremely careful!" Murong Fu warned.
Gongye Qian suppressed his nausea and fear, grabbed the black box, and turned to leave.
The next morning, when Ling Yi emerged from the Prison Space, he saw Jin Xiangyu lying on the ground, unable to get up.
Jin Xiangyu was deathly pale, his lips were blue, and Bleeding from his seven orifices. He was now completely Aura.
Yes, Jin Xiangyu died, killed by the Venom of Earthworm Snake.
Ling Yi frowned, waved his hand, and unleashed a golden beam of light. The light landed on Jin Xiangyu's body, and after a moment, Jin Xiangyu, who had been dead, began to breathe again.
"Wasn't I already dead? What am I doing?!" Jin Xiangyu rubbed her head and stood up.
Upon seeing Ling Yi, Jin Xiangyu instantly understood that Ling Yi must have saved her using the Bodhi Divine Skill.
"Thank you so much for saving my life."
Ling Yi glanced at the information above Jin Xiangyu's head.
[ Jin Xiangyu: Good Value 0/ Evil Value 0, Good and Evil Value 0, Cultivation: Acquired Seventh Layer!]
Why did Jin Xiangyu's Good and Evil Value both reset to zero? Is it because he died once?
Ling Yi suddenly remembered something at that moment.
When he saved the Huang Yaoshi's wife Feng Heng and Cheng Shifei's mother Suxin, their good and evil stats were also zero.
As for Zhou Zhiruo, since she became a prison guard, there was no Good and Evil Value.
At the time, Ling Yi didn't pay much attention, but now it seems...
Ling Yi suddenly thought of a possibility.
Does a person 'Good and Evil Value automatically reset to zero after death?
If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that recruiting prison guards will be much easier in the future?
Take this Jin Xiangyu as an example; its previous Good and Evil Value was negative 281.
It would take directly or indirectly saving 281 lives for the Good Value to exceed the Evil Value.
If one's Good and Evil Value are reset to zero upon Resurrection, wouldn't Jin Xiangyu only need to save one random person to meet the requirements to become a jailer?
"What happened?" Ling Yi asked.
"Last night, Hei Zun took me to rescue people and earn Good Value. We didn't get back until around nine o'clock at night."
"After I got back, I thought about going to the fourth floor to find you."
"But as soon as I entered the room, something bit me, and then I started to feel dizzy and my head was throbbing!"
"Just then, Ouyang Feng and Murong Fu appeared, but left after failing to find you."
"I heard them say with my own ears that you escaped a terrible fate, and that they chose to flee because they were afraid of your revenge."
"After that, my consciousness was completely plunged into darkness."
"Where is Hei Zun?" Ling Yi frowned.
Jin Xiangyu shook his head!
Ling Yi activated his domain skill and, in the next moment, found Hei Zun in a cellar filled with wine jars.
However, at this moment, Hei Zun was lying on his back among a pile of empty wine jars, his mouth open, fast asleep.
At this moment, apart from Ling Yi, Jin Xiangyu, and Hei Zun, there was no one else alive in the entire Dragon Gate Inn.
Hundreds of people Bleeding from all seven orifices, their deaths gruesome.
"Sure!" Ling Yi sneered.
He knew that Murong Fu and Ouyang Feng would cause trouble, and he also expected them to use despicable methods like poisoning.
I just didn't expect them to be so ruthless.
In an attempt to poison himself, he actually cast a full-screen poison attack.
Ling Yi reached out and grabbed, and a loud rumble resounded.
The next moment, Hei Zun howled and crashed out of the stone floor, landing right at Ling Yi's feet.
"Meow meow meow, Ling Yi, what are you doing?" Hei Zun barked angrily when he saw Ling Yi.
"I'll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to Capture Ouyang Feng and Murong Fu," Ling Yi said with a dark face.
"It's just a matter of your own whim, I won't go!" With that, Hei Zun started to walk out.
It seems that this Hei Zun has really been spoiled rotten!
Ling Yi, however, didn't seem to care.
Throughout their journey from the Great Ming, Hei Zun's attitude had remained consistent.
Ling Yi didn't really care at first; bickering with Hei Zun and teasing Menzi was a kind of fun on the road.
This is also the main reason why Hei Zun always calls Ling Yi by his name.
Beast is still Beast, even after seeing the memories of nearly ten thousand people, it is still inherently difficult to tame.
In addition, Ling Yi had rarely paid attention to him, which made Hei Zun a little arrogant.
But he forgot one thing: from the moment he became a jailer, Ling Yi had absolute control over him.
For example, right now.
Ling Yi simply waved his hand, instantly freezing Hei Zun's movements, and then directly sending him into the Prison Space.
And placed it at the entrance of the manor in the Prison Space.
Since they've gotten too cocky, let's give them a good talking-to, a small punishment to set a bad example, and make them a statue for a while!
Ling Yi clapped his hands, and with a thought, a dazzling golden light burst forth from Ling Yi body...
