Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Onmyoji, Is It a Simple Calculation?

"Goddess of the Five Poisons? The true Five Poisons, this is a lot to untangle, let’s start from the beginning."

Miao Cuihua’s words momentarily baffled Lin Fan.

"Since when did the Five Poison Sect start distinguishing between true Five Poisons and false ones?"

"Because the true Five Poisons are rare in this world!"

Miao Cuihua shook her head.

The initial five poisons of the Five Poison Sect were not the poisons known today.

As commonly known, the five poisons are the centipede, gecko, poisonous snake, scorpion, and toad.

But the first generation Goddess did not use these five poisons.

Rather, she used the stiff worm, evil dragon bone, double-headed centipede, mangy tiger, and tiger-headed toad.

These five malevolent creatures represent the ultimate in rage, hatred, resentment, annoyance, and vexation.

Using these five poisons in medicine is considered top-notch.

Unfortunately, the skeletal remains of these malevolent creatures are quite difficult to collect.

Thus later, the third generation saintess used the new five poisons for her medicines.

Though they could also achieve nearly the same effects,

their power was nowhere near that of the Goddess.

Consequently, as the teachings of the Five Poison Sect were passed down, not many could reach the power of the Goddess.

The main reasons were not only their talents but also the insufficient sources of the five poisons.

"So, that was the case, pretty good. Now that we have the evil dragon bone, I guess we could ask the Onmyoji for the other four items since their technique also involves using malevolent creatures. This time, it could be considered a gift for Qi Qi. It’s just a pity that this youngster is dead now; it’s unlikely that those Onmyoji will act anytime soon," Lin Fan said, rubbing his nose, a look of helplessness on his face.

Yamamoto Ichiro’s intervention had already been unexpected.

And now he had been killed by himself.

Hino would definitely be on high alert from now on.

In such circumstances, even if Ning Bingcai pleaded with him, he dared not act carelessly.

"Anyway, once the Jiazi conspiracy comes into play, these Onmyoji will act, and by then, we should be able to find the missing skeletal remains of those malevolent creatures. Thinking about it, these Onmyoji might indeed make something of Qi Qi," Zhao Jiaqi’s voice floated in from outside.

Having had a nap, she was rubbing her stomach, sniffing the food on the table nearby.

"Qi Qi, what delicious food have you prepared for your brother Lin? Is there anything left that I could scrounge a bite of?"

"Jiaqi, what are you talking about? How could you eat leftovers? I’ve already prepared four small dishes; why don’t you join Lin Fan and have some? There’s plenty, and he can’t finish all these by himself," Li Qiqi hurriedly grabbed Zhao Jiaqi’s hand, her face flushed with modesty.

"Sure enough, Qi Qi, you’re not ’unmoved by males.’ You treat me the best," Zhao Jiaqi said with a triumphant smile, tinged with slyness.

Only then did Lin Fan realize that most of the day had passed.

The Selfless Realm truly made time flow much faster.

With that, several people gathered around the dining table.

Li Yizhen also returned from outside at this moment.

Naturally, Luo Jiuying, who came to join in the meal, was with him.

Looking at the several small dishes on the table, his appetite was greatly whetted.

"Boss, I really owe you one, to be able to eat the meals Qi Qi makes again," Luo said.

"What, don’t you usually eat these?"

Lin Fan looked at him, puzzled.

"Ah, boss, do you really think we also have your kind of luck? Typically, Qi Qi only cooks for higher-ups; even I, her ’own grandfather,’ can’t taste such dishes," Li Yizhen immediately complained.

Qi Qi could cook, but only waited for Lin Fan to arrive before doing so.

"Grandpa, usually I have to learn a lot about medicine. Who’s fault is it that you didn’t lay a foundation for me all these years? Of course, I have to hurry up and learn now,"

Li Qiqi immediately retorted, her face flushing.

"Exactly, you old geezer, you’ve never been willing to teach Qi Qi the science of medicine, and now she doesn’t have a solid grasp on many fundamental concepts. How can she pass the trials? I’m warning you, if anything happens to Qi Qi because of your laziness, I won’t want to live either."

Miao Cuihua also rolled her eyes.

Li Qiqi’s training in Western medicine didn’t help at all.

That’s why she had to start from the very basics of traditional Chinese medical theory.

"Don’t worry, don’t worry. My granddaughter is blessed with great fortune; how could anything happen to her? Besides, I’ve already discussed it with Luo, and in a few days, we’ll set off together for the Five Poison Immortal Mansion. Dasheng and my daughter-in-law will also have taken care of everything in Beijing, and we’ll all go back together. This place will be left to Luo and my disciples. The family must be complete and unified,"

Li Yizhen grinned at his wife and granddaughter.

Because his son and daughter-in-law had always been striving in Beijing.

But now, he had made up his mind that the whole family must come back.

"The pharmacy in Beijing that you put so much effort into, even personally consulting there for three years to get it off the ground—pulling out now will be a great loss. Are you willing to accept that?"

Luo Jiuying smiled at Li Yizhen.

Beijing was a place where dragons hid and tigers crouched.

Even though Li Yizhen called the shots in Jiangning, he was virtually unknown in Beijing.

The Guangde Building was a culmination of his countless efforts, and it was his highest achievement in medicine.

"What’s there to worry about? Returning to my true self is enough. Besides, I’m not pulling out investments, just calling my son back. As for the future, even if we permanently live in the Five Poison Immortal Mansion, we still have Big Brother. I’ve already arranged things so that Guangde Building and all my properties will be in Big Brother’s name. If anything happens in the future, wouldn’t Big Brother be able to handle it even better than me?"

Li Yizhen looked at Lin Fan with a grin.

Qi Qi was deeply attached to him, and this family business would eventually be his anyway.

It might as well be handed over sooner.

"Did you discuss putting the property in my name with me?"

Lin Fan frowned as he looked at Li Yizhen.

How had he become the owner of Guangde Building without even realizing it?

"What’s there to discuss? It’s not about you giving money but about giving you money to spend. Just enjoy it quietly. Moreover, this was bound to happen sooner or later. Once Qi Qi becomes the Goddess and is ready to strive in Beijing, the whole world will know that our Five Poison Sect hasn’t been idle."

Zhao Jiaqi was eating, her mouth dripping with oil.

She rolled her eyes and said,

"Eating doesn’t shut your mouth."

Lin Fan glared at her.

Suddenly, he remembered something, "Right, I remember we mentioned before that the Five Poison Sect was destroyed by the Seven Killings Alliance. Does this have anything to do with Master Miejue?"

"She’s about my age; naturally, it has nothing to do with her. The real culprit is her master, Fairy Xifeng,"

Miao Cuihua sighed.

Every time she remembered the annihilation of the Five Poison Sect, she couldn’t help feeling furious.

"Fairy Xifeng... Could it be... one of the ’Five Saints,’ Fairy Xifeng?"

Before Lin Fan could speak, Luo Jiuying’s chopsticks suddenly dropped onto the table.

Having never heard about this feud before, he was utterly astonished.

"Exactly, she somehow heard that our Five Poison Sect used five poisons to practice Evil Skills and harm people. Therefore, she led over a thousand members of the Seven Killings Alliance to slaughter our sect and even took our sect’s sacred treasure, the Black Blood Tripod. I swear if I ever meet her, I won’t rest until one of us is dead!"

Miao Cuifeng clenched her fists, her face filled with rage.

But over the years, Fairy Xifeng had rarely shown herself.

She also couldn’t locate her hidden abode.

Yet, a single statement from Luo Jiuying made everyone in the restaurant set down their utensils.

"She... she has already... come to Jiangning!"
