Chapter 496: Chapter 128: Inner and Outer Elixir Method, Unable to Avoid Convention (Seeking Monthly Ticket)_2

"You clearly recognize each character on its own, but when put together you have no idea what he’s talking about. It seems this guy knows much more than you do, and it infuriates you. Maybe you should vent your anger using his daughter again."

"It’s impossible, how could there be a mistake? There can’t be... it must be there’s not enough time, yes, not enough time!"

The old man, however, continued to fret on his own, hopping around like an ant on a hot pot. He turned and dashed towards the main gate’s control wheel. If he could just hit the switch, he could lock you back in the secret chamber.

But how could you let him have his way? Although there was a significant distance between you, it seemed like the old man would reach the switch before you. Yet just then, a black mysterious light suddenly sprang up behind you, swooshing through the air and, overtaking him, plunged straight into the old man’s

shoulder.

"Black Widow·Eight Spider Spears!"

Your Eight Spider Spears, now much stronger in both speed and power than when you were at the First Rank, made a preemptive strike.

The old man let out a horrific scream, howling as he desperately tried to stand up and finally managed to close the gate. However, having missed the opportunity, you had already escaped.

You rushed up to him, grabbed his neck, while the old man flailed his arms and legs, spraying venom, which you easily fanned away with your large hand, rendering him helpless against you.

Both at the Second Rank, he, a "Desperate Poison Master," was no match for your "Iron Armor" at close range—truly a suicide mission.

You forced him to kneel down and demanded angrily, "Damn it, tell me honestly, what conspiracy are you plotting!"

Despite being beaten to the point of seeing stars, the old man still screamed crazily, "Damn it, it was just a little bit off, just a tiny bit! Damn, I must be right, it must be a dosage and timing issue!"

He screamed like a madman, as if skyscrapers were collapsing inside him, his eyes wide open, fixated on you: "Do you dare to eat this bottle of guts? Do you dare? Haha, you don’t dare right? If you don’t dare, it means I am right, I am not wrong, I cannot be wrong!"

It turns out Ji Bochang was a fake name; his real name was Ji Yang. He screamed that he couldn’t be wrong, clutching a glass bottle in his hand.

Inside the bottle was a full jar of dark green viscous liquid.

You looked down and noticed a lot of it on your shoes and trousers, exactly the same substance.

You guessed that his confidence stemmed from this bottle named ’Guts’—perhaps a type of venom that once effective, could rob you of your ability to resist.

A normal person would of course just kill him and be done with all the trouble.

But you, you’re a freak; you’re not really interested in the bottle of Guts, but you are very curious about what he mentioned regarding the Outer Elixir, and how he used that fat man’s body to deceive you.

You scoffed, "Ji Yang, is it? If I eat this stuff, will you tell me what the Outer Elixir is, how about that?"

Knowing it’s poisonous and you still eat it, seeking death? Wait, the Tai Chu Scroll finally gets it, you’re again taking advantage of being on this campaign to freeload information! Damn, you shameless wretch!

Of course!

Xu Shu chuckled.

To say I’m not curious would definitely be a lie.

That "Ji Bochang" from before, he really hadn’t noticed at all that the fellow was a fake.

He was really so realistic, so realistic that every move, every gesture, was exactly like a real person.

Hmm, he was just like that Fish Head Su Ji, Human Head Su Ji.

The difference was that Human Head Su and Fish Head Su were actually two independent entities now. As part of the Three Corpses, Human Head Su had become completely independent and had even turned against her original body with biased help, successfully accomplishing "the other woman taking over."

However, this old man named Ji Yang, his methods were somewhat similar to the Three Corpses, but not quite the same.

If pressed, Xu Shu felt that Ji Bochang was more like some kind of flesh puppet.

Moreover, Xu Shu was very concerned about some of the confusing things this guy confidently claimed.

Just right, since he already knew who the enemy was, he was fully prepared for what was to come.

Now, trading one life for some important information was actually more cost-effective than killing Ji Yang right here.

After all, he had become so strong...

[That’s right, if it were the First Rank you from before, facing a Second Rank enemy now, you’d probably have been tricked and killed more than once. But now you are a Second Rank Iron Armor, you have become so strong, you decide to take it easy.]

[Ji Yang’s eyes lit up as he heard your words, "You, you’re willing to cooperate with me? Hahaha, good! Good! Good! The great history of science will definitely have your name; it won’t forget your contribution! Drink this, and I’ll tell you what the Outer Elixir is. Right, I can also tell you about my other accomplices, as long as you cooperate, I can tell you everything! Quick, drink it!"]

["wcnmd, he has other accomplices?!" A bonus surprise, making you genuinely shocked.]

[You think to yourself that it’s surprising that Ji Yang, who is so cunning and shameless, would go crazy over such a thing, completely disregarding the consequences. Is he really a bizarre science madman, or is he also putting on an act?]

[For now, you don’t know, but fortunately, you feel it’s worth it to use your ample room for trial and error to verify.]

["Remember your word, don’t make me lose respect for you; I still respect you as a man," you say to your soon-to-be father-in-law. You take the bottle of viscous liquid, slowly unscrewing the cap, releasing a strange smell that makes you nauseous.]

["I won’t go back on my word! Quickly drink, drink...don’t worry, you won’t die, you’ll just lose something, really!" Ji Yang urged, his eyes wide with insistence.]

[After a moment’s thought, you suddenly shot out all of your Eight Spider Spears from behind, pinning Ji Yang to the ground, rendering him immobile.]

[Ji Yang understood your intention, far from being scared, he rejoiced crazily, "Good, good, good, that’s best, you see I can’t move, quick, drink, drink!"]

[Seeing this, you pinched your nose, forcibly suppressing the urge to vomit, and gulped down the bottle that looked like a mixture of grease and snot.]

[Your throat burned like fire, and you felt as your body started to inflate like it was being pumped with air.]

["How do you feel? Not so fast, your constitution must be very special, just wait, half an hour! I’ll tell you the answer then! Really! I can start by telling you a bit, I have five other accomplices; they are from the Salvation Army, hehe, they want to use me against you!" Ji Yang volunteered the information.]

[Five from the Salvation Army? Damn, not strangers again... You said nothing, just gave him a look. Your body indeed felt unwell, so you sat down right there, quietly waiting.]

[Time ticked by, and after a whole half-hour, you opened your eyes, your face was deathly pale, and your steps started to falter, with your legs clenching together, seemingly in an abnormal state.]

[Seeing this, Ji Yang was overjoyed, "Haha, I knew I was right! How does it feel, do you feel like you have no strength, as if all your Extraordinary Power has left you? Haha, this is the special property of the oily salamander, all the Outer Elixir Method is dissolved by this creature! Thus, the Outer Elixir is the wrong path, only the inner core is the correct way! I, Ji Yang, have always been on the right path! Nobody understands the Curse Seal better than me!"]
