My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1216 1216: Poison Pills Are Still Pills

From then on, the Dan God Sect was as if facing a formidable enemy; everyone was extremely tense.

Many even secretly began taking pills that could enhance their cultivation to focus on training.

After all, for them, alchemy couldn't possibly counter a sixth-order beast.

You couldn't expect to take out a poisonous pill, present it to a sixth-order beast, and say, "Here, eat it, once you consume it, I can kill you."

Unless their brains had been kicked by a donkey.

So, the most urgent task at hand was to focus on combat power.

Nolan Qingqing learned swordsmanship from Ye Guichen quickly.

In just over ten days, with the help of pills, she broke through the Qi Refining Realm and entered the first level of Qi Refinement.

Her mastery of the Golden Snake Sword technique reached perfection, earning Ye Guichen's admiration.

Moreover, during this time, besides dealing with many troublesome disciples, Ye Guichen also used the materials from Dan God Sect to refine many pills.

All sorts of pills, totaling probably over a thousand.

Not only were there ones for replenishing qi and assisting in cultivation, but also some poisonous pills.

Influenced by Li Fengxian, Ye Guichen always felt that poisonous pills were more useful than ordinary pills.

Especially when handled by Ye Guichen, the usage of poisonous pills was further broadened.

Ye Guichen even specifically refined a kind of pill called Soul Stealing Pill.

This pill wasn't for consumption but for throwing.

Once thrown, it would explode like a grenade, instantly killing those within a ten-meter radius, having a soul-stealing impact.

Of course, the Soul Stealing Pill wasn't very high-grade, only having the effect of a third-grade pill, so it could only instantly kill those below the third level of Qi Refinement.

For those at the fourth level of Qi Refinement or higher, the Soul Stealing Pill had little effect.

However, to deal with higher-level experts, Ye Guichen specially developed another pill.

This pill wasn't ranked; it was crafted by Ye Guichen using over a hundred kinds of gu insects found in the sect's gu room, called the Hundred Gu Pill.

This pill was specifically designed to deal with high-level Qi Refiners.

Even an eighth or ninth level Qi Refiner, if inhaling even a small amount of the Hundred Gu Pill's poisonous powder, would be rendered powerless.

Though a higher cultivation might allow the gu poison to be expelled quickly, even a brief moment of weakness could be enough to seize an opportunity or even make an escape.

Ye Guichen even believed that if someone inhaled a large amount of the Hundred Gu Pill without warning, their life might be forfeit.

Of course, Ye Guichen hadn't tested most of these pills; they were only theoretical.

"Haha, with these pills, even if I encounter a master at the eighth level of Qi Refinement again, killing them won't be a matter of considerable effort."

Ye Guichen even believed that if he encountered a Foundation Establishment monster, he wouldn't be left with only a desperate escape.

Throwing all kinds of pills while deploying the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique, slicing with the Immortal Slayer Sword, no matter how tough the head, it could be chopped off.

"Ye, Ye, I can now shatter a boulder with a single sword!" Ye Guichen was in the middle of refining pills when he suddenly heard the excited voice of Nolan Qingqing.

For over ten days, whenever Nolan Qingqing made even a small improvement, she would excitedly report to Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen, far from being annoyed, greatly enjoyed this feeling.

He stood up, looking at Nolan Qingqing, whose pretty face was flushed and body drenched in sweat, and smiled, "It seems you indeed have a talent for swordsmanship."

"Yes, but our Dan God Sect prioritizes alchemy over martial arts; I don't even dare to tell my master I'm secretly practicing swords." Nolan Qingqing pouted, always feeling a bit uncomfortable.

As a disciple, she naturally longed for her master's approval.

If her master knew she was a swordsmanship genius and praised her a few times, it would feel sweeter than eating honey.

"Haha, Qingqing, one day your master will be proud of you." Ye Guichen laughed, ruffling Nolan Qingqing's hair.

Nolan Qingqing let Ye Guichen do so.

Unconsciously, she seemed to greatly enjoy Ye Guichen's affectionate gestures.

Even her form of address changed.

When Ye Guichen called her Qingqing, not only did Nolan Qingqing not deny it, but she also nodded repeatedly, feeling this name was much nicer than Senior Sister Qingqing or Senior Sister Nolan.

Calling her Senior Sister all the time felt like she was being aged.

"By the way, I have two types of pills here for you to carry for self-defense." As he spoke, Ye Guichen took out two small porcelain bottles and handed them to Nolan Qingqing.

One white porcelain bottle and one black porcelain bottle.

"The pills in the white porcelain bottle are called Soul Stealing Pills. If you ever encounter danger, especially against opponents below the third level of Qi Refinement, and feel unable to cope, throw this out."

Ye Guichen then pointed to the black porcelain bottle: "The pills in this bottle are called Hundred Gu Pills. Never open it without reason, and don't throw it unless facing someone you can't handle, understand?"

Nolan Qingqing nodded vigorously: "Understood, understood. Haha, how are you so incredible, your alchemy skills are on par with the elders, and you can even create poisonous pills. Also, you're such a great teacher, your swordsmanship skills surpass any other Sword Dao masters I've seen."

"Haha, you're too kind, too kind!" Ye Guichen responded politely.

At that moment, an urgent bell sounded outside.

Ye Guichen frowned upon hearing it: "What's going on?"

Nolan Qingqing's expression changed: "It seems our Dan God Sect disciples have encountered danger outside."

"Danger?" Ye Guichen quickly rushed out, finding many others had already left their potion rooms.

Ye Guichen had a higher vantage point and could see farther.

At the entrance of Dan God Sect was a plaza.

Currently, the plaza was crowded with people.

Ye Guichen and Nolan Qingqing quickly hurried over.

At the center of the plaza, a group of people were gathered.

Ye Guichen pushed his way inside.

There, he saw a disciple severely injured, lying on the ground on the verge of death.

His clothes were torn to shreds, with his intestines exposed.

"It was attacked by the Three-headed Red Wolf!"

"Five disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall were attacked, and one was swallowed by the Three-headed Red Wolf on the spot."

"I heard the Three-headed Red Wolf is seven or eight meters high, consuming a person as easily as we drink water!"

The crowd was in utter panic.

An elder squeezed through the crowd, quickly feeding the injured disciple a pill.

"What exactly happened? Tell us slowly!" the elder gently supported the injured disciple.

The disciple's bloodless face showed slight recovery.

Yet, Ye Guichen could sense that this disciple was only hanging by a thread; even with that pill, revival was unlikely.
