Wuxia Across the Heavens: I Collect Side Effects

A group of black apes and several white apes were wrestling together, with roars and crashes filling the air, creating a chaotic scene.

Su Xin composed himself, his gaze quickly sweeping over the group of apes, his eyes sharp and focused.

His purpose in this trip was to find the white ape that had the Nine Yang Manual hidden in its belly.

Once they obtain the Nine Yang Manual, and cultivate it for a period of time, Aunt and Ali will have the ability to protect themselves.

The three of them can also accumulate internal energy through the peaches of immortality and the blood frog, so that they can focus on finding the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill and gradually improve their strength.

However, after scanning the group of apes several times, he still could not find the white ape with the scriptures hidden in its belly.

Su Xin frowned slightly, and after a moment's thought, he understood the key point.

The white ape had a Nine Yang Manual sewn into its belly. With such a burden, why would it rashly come out to participate in the battle?

It's likely that it stayed in the white ape's lair, avoiding this conflict.

Having figured this out, Su Xin became even more patient. He quietly squatted behind the rock, watching the black ape and the white ape fiercely fight until both were exhausted. The black ape roared a few times in resentment and left in a huff. The remaining white apes also dragged their tired bodies into the depths of the cave in twos and threes.

Seeing this, Su Xin slowly got up, walked lightly, and followed the white ape at a distance, not daring to make the slightest sound, for fear of disturbing them.

The white apes moved forward, weaving through the lush flowers and grasses, their steps slow but orderly, clearly on their way back to their lair.

In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, another cave appeared ahead.

This cave was larger than the one he had entered before. The entrance was piled with withered branches and leaves, and the dim light and shadow inside could be vaguely seen. It was clearly the lair of the white ape.

Su Xin stopped and glanced at the few white apes at the cave entrance. He quietly circled around to the side, avoiding their gaze, and stepped into the cave without disturbing any of the white apes.

The cave was warmer and more humid than the outside, with a faint animal scent in the air. Su Xin walked several dozen feet into the cave and found the special white ape on a stone platform covered with dry grass.

This white ape was completely different from the others. Its abdomen was abnormally swollen, and its flesh was ulcerated and blackened. The traces of stitches could be vaguely seen. It was obviously seriously injured and was curled up on the dry grass, breathing weakly, without even the strength to lift its head.

Su Xin was certain that this was the white ape that had the Nine Yang Manual hidden in its belly.

Without further hesitation, he strode forward, subtly channeling the inner force of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand into his fingertips, and gently brushed it across the top of the white ape's head.

Without any unnecessary probing or the protagonist's halo like Zhang Wuji, who could make the white ape bow down in submission, he could only use his poison skills to quickly subdue it.

The toxin instantly seeped into the white ape's body. The white ape, which had been struggling weakly, went limp and collapsed onto the dry grass, falling into a coma and completely losing its ability to resist.

Su Xin squatted down, took out the small knife he had prepared in his bosom, and without the slightest hesitation, reached out and pressed on the white ape's swollen belly, carefully making a small incision.

He moved swiftly, avoiding vital points, and soon found a hard oiled paper package on the festering part of the white ape's abdomen.

He gently took out the oil paper package, opened it, and found that it contained four volumes of the Nine Yang Manual.

Su Xin was overjoyed and quickly and carefully put the silk paper away, hiding it close to her body, for fear of damaging it.

Looking at the festering, blackened wound on the white ape's abdomen, Su Xin hesitated for a moment, then picked up the knife and carefully cut away the infected and necrotic flesh around the wound.

Although he was not a doctor, he knew that if the wound was allowed to fester, the white ape would certainly not survive.

However, in this world of martial arts, there is no alcohol for disinfection, nor iodine for sterilization, so he can only do his best.

After removing the necrotic flesh, he took out the prepared wound medicine from his pocket and carefully sprinkled it on the white ape's wound, pressing gently for a moment to ensure that the wound medicine covered the entire wound.

After doing all this, he stopped.

That's all he can do; the rest is up to the white ape's own fate.

Then, he circulated his inner energy, gathering a trace of detoxifying power at his fingertips, and gently pressed it on the white ape's head, slowly dissolving the toxins in its body.

After about half an incense stick's time, the toxins in the white ape's body were completely cleared, and it slowly opened its eyes. There was no longer any hostility in its eyes; instead, it looked more docile.

Although it cannot speak, it is intelligent and knows that Su Xin saved it, so it has no intention of attacking.

Su Xin did not linger. He had already achieved his goal and there was no need to put on a show of human-ape affection here.

He stood up, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the white ape's lair. His steps were light, and he quickly walked out of the cave and returned to the flowery secret realm he had first entered.

Obtaining the Nine Yang Manual is only the first step.

His gaze swept across the depths of the secret realm as he began searching for his second target.

Blood Frog and Different Kind of Peaches.

According to the original text, these two rare and precious materials were hidden beside a deep, emerald-green pool, where a large number of wild peach trees grew, making them easy to find.

Following the moisture and fruit fragrance in the secret realm, Su Xin continued his journey, weaving through green grass and blooming flowers, and soon found the deep, emerald-green pool.

The water in the pool was crystal clear, and one could vaguely see blood-red frogs swimming at the bottom. Sure enough, there was a grove of wild peach trees growing by the pool, and the trees were full of brightly colored and fragrant flat peaches, which were the exotic flat peaches he was looking for.

He strode forward, carefully picked several ripe peaches, and caught a few large blood frogs from the crevices of the rocks by the pool. He put them into his bag, filling it to the brim.

Before we knew it, it was already afternoon. Sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the cave, casting dappled shadows.

With the heavy bundle on his back, Su Xin turned and walked out of the cave. Following the route he had climbed earlier, he used the ropes to slowly make his way down the mountain.

This trip to Kunlun was very fruitful.

Not only did he obtain the Nine Yang Manual, but he also collected the Blood Frog and the exotic Peaches of Immortality. This was enough for his aunt and Ali to cultivate the Nine Yang Manual, or for him to improve his strength by using the Peaches of Immortality and the Blood Frog.

As he climbed, Su Xin secretly made his plans:

After finding the destination, it will take a few days to make proper preparations.

He looked up at the towering cliff beside him, his gaze falling on the cave in that secluded paradise of flowers, and a thought suddenly came to mind.

Letting Aunt and Ali hide in that cave might be an excellent way to avoid trouble.

He already knew Zhu Changling and Wu Lie's character from the original novel; they appeared kind on the surface but were actually ambitious and ruthless, which he found hard to believe.

Aunt Su Ying and A Li have weak martial arts skills. If he is not around, they will be left alone in the wooden house at the foot of the mountain. If Zhu Changling and others see that he has not returned for a long time and covet the secret manual of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand, they will inevitably have evil intentions and attack the mother and daughter.

Su Xin knew in his heart that people in the martial arts world valued secret manuals far more than ordinary people could imagine. Moreover, he was facing a mother and daughter with low martial arts skills and no power to resist. Those people would do anything to seize the manual.

Moreover, Su Xin was also afraid that his enemies would come looking for him, after all, his methods were too unique!

The more he thought about it, the more prudent his idea of ​​having them hide in the cave seemed.

However, although the cave was safe and secluded, it was also remote and desolate. It was inevitable that Aunt and Ali would suffer in such a place. Thinking of this, Su Xin couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

But then he thought that traveling around with his aunt and Ali would be more dangerous than staying in the cave.

It would be better to let them hide in the cave for now, and wait until he has further improved his strength and completely eliminated the hidden dangers of Zhu Wulian Village before making any further plans.
