Chapter 429 - 248: Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons Shines Through the Ages
Li Yujing sighed in her heart as she stood to the side.
Only she knew that this martial artist was formidable, and even more so than what was rumored in Jiannan Prefecture City’s martial arts community.
However, this martial artist was not part of their Heaven-Breaking Army.
It was always this martial artist seeking out them, rather than their Heaven-Breaking Army seeking out this martial artist.
If the Heaven-Breaking Army were to truly face danger, they might not even be able to find this martial artist.
Even though she was aware of all this, she couldn’t tell Su Jing and Su Que.
Otherwise, she might very well expose her relationship with the Heaven-Breaking Army.
Though she and Li Xuanji were twins, they were fraternal twins, and their appearances were not similar.
Only the retainers of the Li Family knew about the relationship between her and Li Xuanji.
She had never revealed this relationship, not only for her own protection but also for the protection of Su Jing and Su Que, the two siblings.
The three talked for a while longer, then Li Yujing left.
Su Que then went to boil water, took a bath, closed the door, and started practicing alone.
...
The next day, after Su Que finished breakfast, he told Su Jing that he would stay at a friend’s house for a few days.
Su Jing asked who his friend was and where the house was.
Su Que simply said it was the son of a squire in town, without mentioning which town or the name.
Su Jing, having a gentle nature and very traditional mindset, even though she practiced martial arts, still felt she was a lady of the household and should not interfere with Su Que’s, the family man’s, decisions.
So, with Su Que’s answer, she did not pursue further questions.
Su Que pretended to pack up a bundle at home, then bid farewell to Su Jing.
First, he left Jiannan Prefecture City, then went to a hidden cave where he stored things.
He changed into martial attire, donned a mask, put on a cloak, and then darted out of the cave, heading towards Miaojiang.
...
Su Que’s lightweight skill was outstanding, and the distance from the Southern Border to Jiannan Prefecture City was closer than from the Central Plains to Jiannan Prefecture City.
It took him less than half an hour to enter Miaojiang.
At this time, it was the late spring season.
However, the vegetation in Miaojiang was flourishing as if it were summer.
Su Que could still hear the chirping of insects under the vegetation of Miaojiang and the rustling of snakes, insects, rats, and ants moving among the plants.
He traversed several mountains and passed several Miao Villages, heading straight into the depths of Miaojiang.
The Miaojiang Holy Altar was situated deep within Miaojiang.
On his previous visit, because his strength had not been sufficient, he did not rashly enter the Miaojiang Holy Altar.
Along the way, he passed by several Miaojiang people.
But Su Que’s body technique was so fast, and the martial arts cultivation of those Miaojiang people was too low; with the naked eye, they couldn’t see the swiftly flying Su Que at all.
These Miaojiang people only felt a gust of wind pass by.
Soon, Su Que arrived at the boundary between the Miaojiang Holy Altar and the rest of Miaojiang.
It was a dense green mist.
Li Xuanji’s master had told him that it was said that inside the Miaojiang Holy Altar, there were extremely poisonous poison fields and poisonous forests.
The mist was so dense that even with exhaustive eye power, he couldn’t see what was beyond it.
He released his spiritual power to scout the way ahead while utilizing his lightweight skill, darting into the mist.
The dense green mist churned for a moment, then lost sight of his figure.
After gliding forward for a while, he passed through the dense fog and entered the realm of the Miaojiang Holy Altar.
Beyond the dense fog, there stood several martial artists in Miaojiang attire, guarding the area.
But with a slight shift of his form, Su Que flashed past under the eyes of these martial artists.
Su Que could sense that these martial artists were only at the Qi Blood Realm and could never see him.
Su Que navigated through the realm of the Miaojiang Holy Altar, looking for the poison fields and poisonous forests while utilizing his lightweight skill.
In the realm of the Miaojiang Holy Altar, three mountains surrounded a vast mountain village in the center.
Upon entering Miaojiang, he had noticed that the architecture mainly consisted of wooden houses and stilted buildings.
But inside the Miaojiang Holy Altar, he also saw stone castles and stone towers, with a rather rough and bold architectural style.
’Perhaps there are treasures inside the stone castles and towers, maybe even the Divine Intent Diagram of Miaojiang,’
Su Que thought to himself, planning to absorb the toxins from the poison fields and poisonous forests before checking out the stone castles and towers.
He thought, since he was fortunate enough to come here, he must take as much as possible with him to make the trip worthwhile.
After darting around for a while, Su Que quickly found a poisonous forest.
The poisonous forest was shrouded in mist, and the various poisonous insects and poisonous plants within emitted a pungent fragrance.
Guards were stationed near the poisonous forest, suggesting that the poisonous insects and plants cultivated and bred within were precious and not meant for others to steal.
Snap! Snap!
Two faint sounds, and suddenly, the two people guarding the place fell to the ground.
It was Su Que who darted past them, knocking them unconscious.
Once they were unconscious, the Gu insects attached to them flapped their wings and flew out from their mouths.
People from Miaojiang typically hosted Gu insects in their bodies, using the power of Gu insects to stimulate their potential during combat.
Su Que waved his hand, releasing his True Qi.
The two Gu insects, flying out from the two guards’ mouths, instantly exploded.
After killing the Gu insects, Su Que went to the center of the poisonous forest and performed the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons.

Strands of multicolored poisonous mist rose from various parts of the poisonous forest.
They also floated from the pouches on the waists of the two guards.
Apparently, the toxins from the Gu insects could also be absorbed by him.
He slightly opened his mouth and nose.
These strands of toxin flowed like a river across the void.
They entered his body through his seven orifices and pores.
Then, following his intention, they went to the poison sac in his Sea of Qi, transforming into pure Myriad Poison True Qi.
His cultivation of the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons was progressing.
Soon, the plants in the poisonous forest visibly withered.
The poisonous snakes, insects, toads, etc., originally moving through the forest, also suddenly stopped and became powerless.
The poisonous mist rising from the plants and animals diminished considerably.
Eventually, the poisonous mist disappeared completely.
It was because he had completely absorbed the toxins from this poisonous forest.
He glanced at his attributes.

Then he left this poisonous forest and continued to search for other poison fields and poisonous forests.
He climbed up the mountain, finding several poison fields and poisonous forests.
He still knocked out the guards and absorbed all the toxins from the poison fields and poisonous forests.
Waves of toxins entered his body, accumulating in his poison sac.
The toxins were highly concentrated, all converting into pure Myriad Poison True Qi.
He felt that the poisonous insects and plants in the Miaojiang Holy Altar were indeed more potent than those outside.
Even the poisonous plants and flowers cultivated in the Tang Sect’s poison fields couldn’t compare.
After absorbing several poison fields and poisonous forests, Su Que felt the poison sac in his Sea of Qi expand gradually, with a certain power brewing within.

Su Que glanced at his attributes, and indeed, the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons had reached the brink of a breakthrough.
After leaving a poisonous forest, Su Que found a poison field.
He knocked out the guard and absorbed the toxins for a while, immediately feeling the poison sac suddenly expand, with a power exploding from within!

’I broke through!’
With his breakthrough, a deep purple poisonous gas erupted from his body, spiraling upwards like a deep purple flood dragon.
Due to the breakthrough in the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons, the toxicity of the Myriad Poison True Qi in his body became more harmful.
However, this side effect reversed in him, turning into a tonic.
Moreover, during his breakthrough, his poison sac suddenly expanded, capable of holding more Myriad Poison True Qi.
Additionally, the Myriad Poison True Qi in the poison sac surged, filling his meridians everywhere.
Instantly, he felt a warmth throughout his body.
Originally, the Myriad Poison True Qi would have damaged his body at this moment.
But due to the reversal of side effects, it benefited his body instead.
He looked again at his attributes.
Remaining lifespan: 2638
After elevating the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons from the 9th Realm Shocking to the 10th Realm Shocking the Ancients, his remaining lifespan increased by 30 years.
