Chapter 389: Poison Kill, Death!

“Tomorrow will be the day you die!” Mu Xuan simply agreed, but he sneered in his heart. He didn’t care about the other party’s commanding tone at all. After all, he was about to die.
The next day, Mu Xuan used the excuse of having a stomachache to leave the Marquis of Mingyang’s Estate again, but he didn’t immediately concoct medicine. Instead, he went to look for Acacia Red Beans and finally obtained one from the old woodcarver.
At the pharmacy, Mu Xuan was concocting medicine when he suddenly heard teams of constables barging in front of the pharmacy. His heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
Then, someone raised doubts on his behalf.
The shopkeeper of the pharmacy whispered, “Something big happened in the city last night. It’s said that Lin Zhizhou was assassinated and almost had his heart pierced… Look, Lin Zhizhou was furious and wanted to capture the assassin. He even wanted to dismember him!”
Mu Xuan immediately understood that the person holding him hostage was the person who had assassinated the governor of the Jing Province.
“He failed to assassinate the lord of a state, but he could still escape from the traps. Looks like this person’s strength can’t be underestimated!” Mu Xuan had a plan in his heart.
Carrying the healing medicine back to the Marquis of Mingyang’s Estate, Mu Xuan first tried the medicinal properties of the Acacia Red Beans and found a dog that had bitten him to test the medicine. In the end, Mu Xuan was pleasantly surprised. He only ate three Acacia Red Beans and the big dog died after screaming for two minutes.
“Very good. Next, I have to grind the Acacia Red Bean into powder…” At night, the moon was slightly cold, but it was a good time to kill.
At the rockery at the back door of the Marquis Manor, Mu Xuan carried the healing medicine to the rockery. The injured bandit waited for a long time before crawling out. He looked at the obedient Mu Xuan and revealed a disdainful expression.
The injured criminal’s name was Jin Qi. In fact, he was a gold-medal assassin from a famous assassin organization in Yue Country, the Golden Wind Drizzle Building. He was a first-rate expert in the pugilistic world. This time, he had accepted a guest’s commission and came to Jingzhou to assassinate Lin Changye.
However, Jin Qi failed because he didn’t expect the other party to actually wear double-layered soft armor inside, causing his assassination to fail. He was even almost left in the Prefectural Governor’s Mansion.
Jin Qi picked up the bowl of healing medicine and tested it with the silver needle first. The silver needle naturally couldn’t test the poison of the Acacia Red Bean.
Then, he looked, heard, and asked, but he didn’t see any problems.
However, Jin Qi was actually not at ease. He took out another black dagger and dipped it into the medicinal liquid for a long time. After taking it out and looking at it carefully for a long time, he let down his guard and drank it in one gulp!
As a gold-medal assassin of the Golden Wind Drizzle Building who was proficient in poison, he was certain that this bowl of medicine should not be poisonous.
Jin Qi looked at the servant and sneered. He thought to himself, “I can’t stay here for long. I’ll drink another bowl of medicine tomorrow and kill this kid to change places…”
Suddenly, Jin Qi felt that something was wrong. The true qi in his body actually faintly escaped his control, and even a subtle blood-red color appeared in front of his eyes!
“Not good, there’s poison in the medicine!” Jin Qi instantly understood something. He wanted to kill the person in front of him first, but he didn’t expect Mu Xuan to be even faster than he had imagined. He had long retreated to the entrance of the rockery.
“Damn it, I was actually blinded by a wild goose…” Jin Qi was incomparably angry. He panted heavily and raised the sword in his hand to chase after Mu
Xuan.
However, Mu Xuan had long expected this situation. At this moment, he had already poured a layer of oil outside the rockery..
“Bang—” Jin Qi accidentally fell to the ground. When he got up again, Mu Xuan had already escaped more than ten meters away.
Jin Qi wanted to use his lightness skill, but he was shocked to discover that the medicinal effect of the poison was so fierce. In just a few minutes, it had already spread throughout his entire body… “Such a poison, even the silver needles and my Black Meteor Dagger couldn’t be tested?!”
Jin Qi naturally didn’t know that in order to ensure that he was tricked to death, Mu Xuan ground a handful of Acacia Red Beans into powder and poured them into his medicinal soup!
With such a large dose, even an elephant would die in ten minutes!
Before long, Jin Qi couldn’t help but hunch his body. He wanted to take a deep breath, but he couldn’t breathe any oxygen!
Symptoms of consuming the Acacia Red Bean: Abdominal pain, diarrhea, gastrointestinal bleeding, difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing, blurred consciousness!
As his consciousness gradually fainted, a figure appeared under the rockery again. It was naturally Mu Xuan, who had returned.
“You’re lucky. This is a talent I can only use once a year!” Mu Xuan smiled. After confirming that this guy had already fallen into a deep coma, he decisively used Talent Extraction.
“Extract blood essence!” Mu Xuan originally wanted to extract this guy’s memories, but his talent didn’t move. In the end, he chose the blood essence cultivated by this guy!
From the beginning, this world cultivated qi and blood, and then refined true qi from the qi and blood. For example, the people of the Seven Mysteries Sect all had surqinz qi and blood, and even their temples were bulding
As for the true qi in the other party’s body, Mu Xuan didn’t have a cultivation method, so he couldn’t keep his true qi.
The other party’s blood qi was still more reliable. His body was actually very weak. He could use the other party’s blood qi to strengthen his blood qi foundation!
Soon, a force surged into his body from the other party’s body and quickly strengthened him. A few minutes later, Mu Xuan felt that his entire body was filled with strength, and he no longer looked weak.
Looking at Jin Qi again, he was deader than dead.
Mu Xuan quickly searched his entire body, but other than a black dagger, a long sword, and a golden token the size of a fingernail, there was actually nothing else!
The antidote he wanted the most didn’t drop.
Mu Xuan was very unhappy. Jin Qi clearly didn’t plan to let him off from the beginning. “Fortunately, I extracted the other party’s blood essence and obtained a powerful blood essence. Coupled with my talent for longevity, Five Poison Pill? It’s not a big deal, a token…”
With the talent of immortality, any poison could be ignored by him!
After hiding the black dagger, sword, and golden token in the depths of the stable, Mu Xuan quietly returned to his room.
However, just as he returned to his room, he saw that the steward was actually also there.
The steward’s surname was Wang. He looked to be in his forties and had already served the Marquis of Mingyang for 20 years. He was loyal to the Marquis of Mingyang. He narrowed his eyes at Mu Xuan and said sternly, “Fang
Yan, where did you go tonight?!”
Mu Xuan thought to himself, “Servants have no human rights. They even have to care where they go at night.”
“Manager, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do in the stable, so I went to the stable again..
Steward Wang sniffed and indeed smelled horse dung on Mu Xuan. His expression softened slightly and he said calmly, “In that case, there won’t be a next time! ”
Seeing Steward Wang leave, the servants watching outside the room were immediately filled with disappointment. They thought that they could take down Mu Xuan. In the end, the fact that Mu Xuan could have a small room had long aroused the dissatisfaction of the other servants.
Mu Xuan narrowed his eyes and didn’t take the jealousy and disappointment of the other servants seriously. What he noticed was that what Steward Wang looked at him just now actually gave him a powerful suppression! Steward Wang was not an ordinary person, but a martial arts expert!
