Chapter 14: The Desperate Poisoner

“What are you talking about, Old Fifth?”
Li Si scolded with a cold face: “Don’t you know him yet, Third Brother? He is loyal, honest, and trustworthy. A spit from him can turn into a nail. How can his words be taken lightly?”
After saying that.
He looked towards Zhang San.
The cold face he had just now was filled with a smile: “Right, Third Brother?”
Zhang San: “……”
What the hell can I say to that? He looked towards the river, squeezing out a smile, and said: “Old Six, it’s not that Third Brother is stingy, but your body is too weak right now to bear the power of that treasure… Don’t worry, once you cultivate your physical strength to ten thousand jin, Third Brother will definitely give it to you!”
Ten thousand jin of strength?
That’s 5 tons of force.
Jiang He said: “I injured Third Brother and haven’t even apologized to him, how can I ask for Third Brother’s treasure?”
Without waiting for Zhang San to speak, he quickly changed his tone and said: “However, as the old saying goes, one should not refuse a gift from an elder. If I refused, wouldn’t I be letting down Third Brother’s kindness? Would I still be considered a human? Thank you, Third Brother!”
I wasn’t hurt!
Zhang San nearly crushed his molars!
I was just caught off guard… and you hit me without any martial decency, making my chest feel a bit stuffy, okay?
Now that the words were out, Zhang San, not being a petty person, laughed and said: “Not bad, I indeed did not misjudge you. But you must cultivate diligently. For a physical cultivator, ten thousand jin of strength is a barrier. If one’s physical talent is insufficient from birth and there is no support from postnatal spiritual medicine, they might never cross it.”
“If you really get stuck at this barrier, then I can save a lot of money.”
Obviously, this was a joke.
More than anything, it was to motivate Jiang He to cultivate diligently.
Jiang He laughed: “Third Brother might as well prepare early, who knows, maybe one day I’ll suddenly have ten thousand jin of strength.”
This statement made the three of them burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, Jiang He was silently calculating in his heart.
“My current strength is 1910kg, and reaching 2000kg by the end of today is no problem… Based on an increase of 190kg of strength daily, it would take at most 16 days to possess ten thousand jin of strength.”
This was without calculating the “combat” increase in strength.
Because he wasn’t sure if there was a limit to the strength increase from combat each day.
After thinking, Jiang He said: “Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother… it’s still early, why don’t we practice a bit more?”
Moments later.
Jiang He, holding his stomach and grimacing, said: “No more, no more… I need to go back and take some medicine.”
“Humph!”
Wang Mazi, watching Jiang He flee in a panic, proudly said: “That’ll teach you to be arrogant… If you dare to be stubborn again, I’ll make sure you know who Wang Mazi is… Ouch, damn it!”
He hadn’t finished his sentence when he jumped up from the sofa, yelling: “Damn it, where’s the fruit plate?”
…
Outside.
Jiang He took out the hidden fruit plate from under his clothes, chuckling.
“Heh!”
“Now I’ve got fruits and late-night snacks for the next two days.”
Hearing the roar coming from the VIP ward, Jiang He executed the “Basic Martial Arts Footwork,” and ran off, reaching room 207 on the fourth floor in less than five seconds.
Through the “combat” test just now.
Jiang He had confirmed that the maximum strength increase through “combat” each day should be 30kg, which means fighting three times a day would suffice.
He took out his phone and checked the time.
Just right.
Jiang He took out 3 “Rehmannia Pills” and swallowed them.
“Ding!”
“Rational use of medicine, strength +10kg.”
Right after taking the “Rehmannia Pills,” the nurse named Zhou Yue came with the meal cart, still looking down, afraid to look more at Jiang He, showing a scared expression.
It’s been 10 days since I came here.
The nurse has always been like this, which made Jiang He curious. He stopped the nurse and asked: “Little sister, do you have social anxiety?”
The nurse panicked and quickly shook her head.
Jiang He frowned: “Then why don’t you dare look at me every time you come? Are you afraid of me?”
“It’s… no, not!”
The nurse’s eyes reddened.
Tears uncontrollably rolled in her eyes as she spoke with a sobbing voice: “Jiang He, I won’t look at you anymore, please don’t hit me again, okay… Last time you hit me, and I was laughed at by my colleagues for more than a month.”
“???”
Jiang He was stunned.
Slap!
He slapped himself hard.
Angrily, he said: “I was really crazy before, hitting such a beautiful little sister… Sister, rest assured, my illness is cured now, I will never hit you again!”
Tears finally escaped from the nurse’s eyes and slid down her cheeks.
Jiang He, afraid of being seen as a man bullying a nurse, hurriedly opened the door to let the nurse leave.
After lunch.
It was time for medicine again.
“Ding!”
“Reasonable diet, strength +10kg.”
“Ding!”
“Reasonable use of medicine, strength +10kg.”
After taking the medicine, Jiang He did not go out to exercise but started to practice boxing in the ward.
“After all, it’s exercise, so practicing a set of basic martial arts boxing should count, right?”
Sure enough.
After completing a set of basic martial arts boxing…
“Ding!”
“Reasonable exercise, strength +10kg.”
Next, Jiang He practiced the basic martial arts footwork for a while.
“It’s a pity.”
“The knife was taken away by Wang Mazi, otherwise I could practice with the knife a bit more…”
Jiang He lay on the bed, planning to take a nap.
But just as he lay down, he jumped up, opened the laptop Yun Yanchen bought for him, connected to the mobile hotspot wifi, and typed “Silence Blade” into the search bar.
Regarding Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Mazi.
Jiang He was very curious!
A fire-element extraordinary awakener.
A martial arts master skilled in swordsmanship.
And an expert in poison…
They entered the “Yun Family” as if it was unguarded, even injuring a grandmaster from the Martial Arts Administration Bureau, their strength was imaginable!
Why would such three masters stay in a psychiatric hospital?
“They don’t seem to be sick.”
Jiang He secretly thought to himself—
At most, their thought processes are abnormal.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t do things like knocking themselves out and then taking themselves out for drinks!
Wang Mazi’s knife was extraordinary.
So Jiang He, with a try-and-see attitude, looked online to see if he could find anything.
This search did indeed uncover some clues.
There was a “Northwest Swordsman Ranking” online, listing famous swordsmen from the northwest.
Like “Azure Dragon Swordsman” Zhuo Bufan, who was already a “Grandmaster” ten years ago.
Three years ago, he even ventured into “Guan Mountain” and killed a ferocious beast king in the Grandmaster realm, shocking the entire Daxia.
He ranked third on the “Northwest Swordsman Ranking.”
The ranking listed thirty-six names, covering all the sword masters from the five major base cities and many fortress cities in the northwest, with the last ranked being a martial arts grandmaster.
Then, at the bottom of the ranking.
Someone made the following comment—
“It’s a pity for the Silence Blade Swordsman from Xixia Base City, if he was still around, he might well be in the top three of the Northwest Swordsman Ranking… Back then, Azure Dragon Swordsman Zhuo Bufan was even defeated by him!”
“Silence Blade Swordsman?”
“Are they talking about Wang Mazi?”
Jiang He couldn’t believe it.
This sleazy old man defeated the Azure Dragon Swordsman?
Jiang He thought for a while and then typed “Heaven’s Gate” into the search bar.
“Heaven’s Gate, anciently known as Jingling, a city under the jurisdiction of Beihu Province.”
Clearly.
This “Heaven’s Gate” is not what Wang Mazi and the others referred to.
Jiang He searched further but couldn’t find anything conclusive.
So, he typed “Desperate Poisoner” into the search bar.
Unexpectedly, there were quite a few messages about the “Desperate Poisoner” online, but most of these messages were from 20 years ago… One of the news articles from 19 years ago made Jiang He’s eyes widen.
“Desperate Poisoner” Li Wei, poisoned and killed a god-general of the Sky Demon Sect, became famous in the northwest!
But as a result, he was targeted by the Sky Demon Sect with a “Blood Kill Order” and disappeared without a trace, suspected to have fallen!
