Chapter 94: Chapter 0094: Poisonous Ganoderma

"The method is good, but if we poison someone, the Liu Family will definitely call the cops, and when the police come to ask questions, will Brother Cang and the rest of us be able to run away?"

The Monkey voiced the downside, showing some disagreement with the suggestion.

Chen Cang sneered, "Scared of what? Killing a person or two doesn’t count for much, and when it comes to it, I’ll send Xiao Jun. If something goes wrong, let that kid take the fall. Just say it was him who poisoned them. With our family connections, we can underreport Xiao Jun’s age, and at most he’ll get sent to juvenile detention, he won’t even see jail time. The most important thing is, his family is lacking money, with four or five siblings in the countryside waiting to use that money for school!"

"Now that’s a good plan, Brother Cang always knows what to do. Sacrifice one for the happiness of a whole family!"

Chen Jianwen laughed and flattered.

After the four guys finished discussing, they went straight to the herbal medicine street to buy Lingzhi and some nourishing products. As for the highly toxic substances, Xiao Guobing took action. This guy knew the store that sold poisons; the owner was tight-lipped and definitely wouldn’t implicate anyone afterwards.

The next day at school there was nothing unusual; after classes, Chen Cang had Monkey and Xiao Jun go to Xiao Guobing’s place to pick up the stuff and then deliver it to the Liu family’s villa.

Not long after Tang Ming and two others were picked up by the driver and returned to the villa, Chen Cang arrived with Monkey and Xiao Jun in tow.

"Such shamelessness, not sufficed with being beaten up yesterday, today he comes again looking for abuse, really a case of ’not giving up until he reaches the Yellow River’."

Li Xiaoli had just sat down at the entrance of the villa when she caught sight of an ever-smiling Chen Cang with his two little followers.

These two followers were in the same class as her, normally Chen Cang’s lackeys, while Xiao Guobing and Chen Jianwen were Chen Cang’s brothers from the streets, similar to that yellow-haired guy from before.

"Forget it, let’s see how much patience he has."

Liu Mengting said indifferently while sipping her tea.

Tang Ming was about to go upstairs, but seeing Chen Cang coming again, and carrying things in his hand, thinking anyway it was time for dinner, he sat down beside them to watch the excitement.

"Meng Ting, I specially asked a doctor today, and he said you need to take more nourishing medicine for that kind of shock-induced illness to recover quickly. Look, I brought you quite a lot today, all suitable for you."

Chen Cang pointed to the things Monkey was carrying and said.

"We haven’t even eaten what you brought yesterday, and you’re bringing so much again today, Cang, what are you up to? Got too much money to burn?"

Li Xiaoli joked from the side.

"It doesn’t matter if you don’t eat what I brought yesterday, but you must eat what I brought today, I specially asked a doctor before buying it."

Chen Cang boasted with a smile.

Liu Mengting ignored him. Despite Chen Cang talking for half a day, it was useless, and after nearly half an hour, the guy finally said he was leaving first.

After sending away the pestilence, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli hurried to the dining room to eat. They had asked the kitchen to prepare food as soon as they got back tonight; they definitely didn’t trust Chen Cang.

After dinner, Li Xiaoli put a black package in front of Tang Ming.

Liu Mengting asked, "Xiaoli, what’s that?"

"It’s something Chen Cang brought, it’s marked as for Tang Ming."

Li Xiaoli spoke up.

"He brought it? Tang Ming, you’d better not take it, who knows if he’s going to harm you."

Liu Mengting certainly didn’t believe Chen Cang would turn over a new leaf and bring something good.

"No worries, ordinary things can’t kill me."

Tang Ming opened the package and saw a piece of Lingzhi inside; it seemed to be quite old, and eating it would be somewhat beneficial to his health. Although he wasn’t sure why Chen Cang was being so nice to him, he decided to eat it first and ask questions later.

Watching Tang Ming pick up his things to go upstairs to his room, Liu Mengting once again reminded him, "Tang Ming, what’s that you have there?"

"A big chunk of Lingzhi."

Tang Ming opened a corner of the wrapping and showed the Lingzhi inside.

"You should still avoid eating it, Chen Cang definitely has no good intentions, for all we know he might have poisoned the Lingzhi, trying to kill you."

Liu Mengting shook her head as she advised.

Following the incident at the amusement park, Liu Mengting’s impression of Tang Ming had greatly improved, and she naturally didn’t want anything bad to happen to him.

"Let me see."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ming picked up the Lingzhi and sniffed it, he truly found that it contained a potent poison, but it was exactly what he wanted.

"I’ve run out of centipedes and scorpions lately, and Uncle Liu doesn’t know when he can get me more poison, I never expected Chen Cang to actually come knocking on my door to deliver poison, it has a strong scent, and the toxicity must be fierce, I wonder where this kid got the poison."

Tang Ming was overjoyed, he had been craving poison for his cultivation and was frustrated at not having a way to obtain it, and now someone had brought it right to him.

"Meng Meng sister, you needn’t worry, Brother Tang Ming is so powerful, he can naturally spot any problem with this Lingzhi, rest assured."

Li Xiaoli spoke up from the side.

"You’re calling him ’brother’ now?"

Liu Mengting looked at Li Xiaoli, asking somewhat incredulously.

Caught by her gaze, Li Xiaoli’s face turned red as she argued, "Meng Meng sister, Tang Ming is your bodyguard, and since I already call you sister, of course he is my brother."

"This..."

Liu Mengting couldn’t find anything wrong with that reasoning, but something still felt odd to her, as she remembered Li Xiaoli always treated Tang Ming as a country bumpkin.

In fact, Li Xiaoli’s subtle feelings had not been perceived by Liu Mengting, she was the kind of person who didn’t easily respect others, but once she did, she would hold them in high regard.

The events that transpired on the Ferris wheel at the amusement park, coupled with Tang Ming treating her illness, had directly changed Li Xiaoli’s perception of him, making her feel that he was very capable and resourceful, thus leading to her change of heart towards Tang Ming.

Tang Ming watched the two girls talk and then smiled as he went upstairs.

In the bedroom on the second floor, he poured himself a glass of water, and then swallowed the Poisonous Ganoderma down slowly, his Martial Energy revolved within him as he began to refine the massive toxicity of the Poisonous Ganoderma in his stomach!

This Lingzhi was inherently a substance for strengthening the foundation and nourishing the origin, it was also very beneficial for martial artists like Tang Ming, this Lingzhi had some age to it, and people like Chen Cang didn’t care about money, they just needed Tang Ming to impulsively swallow the Poisonous Ganoderma, and indeed, everything had turned out just as they predicted, only the outcome was not something they could have foreseen.

After a full hour, Tang Ming had refined all of the Poisonous Ganoderma, not only did it increase his Martial Energy considerably, but the intrinsic properties of the Lingzhi also made his body stronger, his strength and physical condition had improved significantly compared to before.

"It really is wonderful stuff, if I could get a specimen of this Poisonous Ganoderma to consume every day, it wouldn’t be long before I could make another breakthrough in my cultivation."

Tang Ming said this to himself, with a pleased expression on his face.

The next day, Tang Ming, Liu Mengting, and Li Xiaoli continued their classes.

After morning self-study ended, Chen Cang, together with Monkey and Xiao Jun, came to the doorway of Class 3 Year 5.

"Xiao Jun, you know what to do if the police come to investigate, right?"

Arriving at the doorway of Class 5, Chen Cang’s face was grim as he spoke in a low voice to Monkey and Xiao Jun.
