Wuxia Across the Heavens: I Collect Side Effects

A few days later, Butterfly Valley.

Su Xin had already packed his belongings, including simple clothes, the cultivated spider eggs, and a thread-bound notebook containing the "Five Poisons Mixed Origin," all neatly arranged, clearly indicating that he was ready for a long journey.

He walked into the courtyard, his gaze falling on Hu Qingyang and Wang Nangu. His expression was calm, and his tone was sincere: "Then I'll be going. Thank you, Madam Hu, for your hard work in researching the Thousand Spider Poison Hand these past few days. I will remember this kindness." After saying that, he looked at Wang Nangu and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Wang Nangu waved her hand, her tone still carrying a hint of arrogance, but she couldn't hide the sincerity in her eyes: "It's nothing! Who told me that I'm also interested in this Thousand Spider Poison Hand? Studying it is my own pleasure." As she spoke, she looked Su Xin up and down, her eyes filled with deep envy.

"To be honest, your body is really strange. You are actually unaffected by the disfiguring side effects of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand. If I could be like that, I would definitely want to cultivate this technique."

This Thousand Spider Poison Hand technique perfectly blends internal energy with poison skills, making it a coveted skill for all those who study poison techniques, including Wang Nangu.

However, she quickly suppressed her envy, a determined glint in her eyes:

It's okay. Even if she can't cultivate, she still plans to research in this direction.

Previously, she only focused on poisons, but now she feels that combining martial arts techniques with poisons may be a completely new path, which has become a topic she will delve into in the future.

Hu Qingyang stood quietly watching Su Xin, her eyes slightly red. She suppressed her reluctance and finally turned her head away abruptly, not wanting Su Xin to see her tears and add to his sadness.

Su Xin looked at her and felt a slight stirring in his heart, but he didn't say much. He just said softly, "I'm leaving!" After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Just then, a slightly weary but still somewhat stubborn voice suddenly came from afar, shouting loudly, "Please wait!"

The voice was so familiar that Su Xin stopped in his tracks and slowly turned his head.

It's obvious without even thinking that it must be Hu Qingniu.

He finally came out of the room, and judging from his appearance, he must have come up with a result.

Hu Qingniu's clothes were slightly disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot, clearly indicating that he hadn't had a proper rest for many days. However, his face was full of smugness. He was clutching a dark blue booklet tightly in his hand as he strode towards Su Xin, waving the booklet at him as he walked.

"Su Xin, wait! This is the secret manual I've researched, the culmination of my life's medical skills!"

He spoke with arrogance, and after he finished speaking, he deliberately turned to look at Wang Nangu, his eyes full of provocation.

"Now you can prove that my medical skills are far superior to your haphazard poison techniques!"

Upon seeing this, Wang Nangu immediately frowned, her eyes filled with disgust.

What she hated most was Hu Qingniu's appearance; the contempt in his eyes was impossible to hide. Wang Nangu was competitive all her life and never wanted to be inferior to anyone.

Before Hu Qingniu could finish speaking, she quickly stepped forward and snatched the booklet from his hand with swift and decisive movements.

On the cover of the booklet, four powerful characters were prominently displayed.

Medical and toxicological aspects.

Wang Nangu eagerly turned to the first page, where the general outline immediately came into view, clearly stating:

Simple poisoning has reached its limit. Rather than sticking to the old ways, it's better to find another way.

The toxins are no longer simply weapons of destruction, but can be transformed into "unique and domineering internal energy".

The usage is also detailed below:

It can compress toxins into the fingertips and insert them into acupoints, which can instantly kill people or fight poison with poison, expel stubborn diseases from the body, and accelerate the body's recovery.

Whether one's thoughts are good or evil, medicine or poison, are entirely within one's own control.

Upon seeing this, Wang Nangu's eyes lit up instantly, and the disgust on her face vanished in an instant, replaced by deep shock and curiosity.

She never expected that Hu Qingniu would be so skilled, already ahead of her in the study of poisons.

She still hasn't realized that poison isn't just for harming people; sometimes, it can also be a medicine, and people can be saved from danger by using poison to fight poison.

At that moment, she felt a surge of admiration. She hadn't expected Hu Qingniu to be able to forge such a unique path, perfectly combining medicine and poison, breaking her preconceived notions about poison techniques.

The manual also records that the added benefit of practicing this technique is immunity to all poisons, and the method of cultivation is to contain all poisons within one's body.

After cultivating to the Five Poisons Mixed Yuan stage, one can gradually absorb various poisons, but the absorption must be done in a specific order and one should not act rashly.

This seems to be an extension of the Five Poisons Mixed Yuan, but it represents a qualitative breakthrough. In particular, the concept of "fighting poison with poison" made Wang Nangu suddenly realize the truth and admire Hu Qingniu's medical skills even more.

After reading it, Wang Nangu stopped pretending and casually tossed the manual to Su Xin. Although there was still some resentment in her tone, the previous hostility was gone: "Take it. This thing will be of great use to your cultivation of the Five Poisons Primordial Chaos."

He then looked at Hu Qingniu, his head still held high, and said, "This time, the Poison Doctor Duo is quite impressive. I didn't expect your research on poisons to be even deeper than mine."

Hu Qingniu was also a little embarrassed, after all, this was based on the previous Five Poisons Mixed Yuan, and he was at most supplementing and expanding upon it.

He felt it was somewhat dishonest and failed to showcase the uniqueness of his medical skills.

Su Xin reached out and took the manual, his fingertips tracing the four characters "Medical and Poison Dual Extremes" on the cover. He was filled with gratitude. He looked up at Hu Qingniu, Wang Nangu, and Hu Qingyang and said solemnly, "Then I'll be leaving! Thank you all for your help these past few days. I am deeply grateful!" After saying that, he bowed deeply to the three of them with a respectful posture.

Since you've already decided to travel far, you should go all the way. Dragging it out will only increase your worries.

Su Xin straightened up, no longer hesitating, and turned to walk out of Butterfly Valley.

He hadn't gone far when he suddenly stopped, turned around, and called out to the three people behind him, "Don't worry, I'll kill Xianyu Tong for you on the way. You're welcome!" With that, he turned around, strode away with a dashing gait, and disappeared into the end of the path in Butterfly Valley without looking back.

Only after Su Xin's figure completely disappeared from sight did Hu Qingyang slowly turn around, gazing in the direction he had left. Tears finally welled up in her eyes and she murmured, "I was born before you were born, and you were born after I had grown old..." The regret and reluctance in her voice gradually dissipated in the morning breeze.

Kunlun Secret Realm.

Yin Li has already finished the second book of the Shaoyang Gong, and tomorrow will be the third book.

With the help of the peaches and blood frogs, it's quite fast.

She looked at the cave entrance, but the image of Su Xin appeared in her mind.

I don't know when I'll be back.

Su Xin has been gone for almost a year.
