Becoming a saint begins with the infinite accumulation of destiny.

Looking at the new destiny chart on the panel, even though he already knew the outcome, Chen Shisheng could not hide his joy.

"Lizard Shadow Venom Body? It even has an added special, insidious poison effect... quite a pleasant surprise!"

However, what concerned Chen Shisheng the most was that this destiny was actually a cyan destiny!

Even the previous [Body Fortune Qilin] was only white.

But then he thought about it again. He realized that the Qilin destiny he had obtained before was only a part of the Qilin's destiny, and the destiny was ultimately incomplete.

Many miraculous effects, such as the Qilin's ability to control fire and its ability to diagnose good or bad fortune, have not yet been demonstrated.

The only improvement was in his physical attributes; there were no special effects whatsoever.

"It seems... our previous guess was correct. Fate patterns do have certain attribute biases, and randomly combining different fate patterns will have limited effects."

"Only when attributes are compatible or functions are similar can one make more efficient use of their destiny and bring out special effects like insidious poison."

Chen Shisheng exhaled, feeling reassured.

He stood up without hesitation and lightly touched the [Lizard Shadow Poison Body] on the panel with his consciousness.

In an instant!

Chen Shisheng felt a change in his body, and an indescribable chill and eeriness welled up from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, he seemed to transform into the poisonous lizard from the Yinshan pool, his body undergoing a dramatic change.

His blood and energy suddenly turned cold, almost imperceptibly, and his feet involuntarily moved towards the corner of the room.

Once in a dark corner, Chen Shisheng's eyes shifted, and his gaze suddenly changed, turning into snake-like brown vertical pupils.

Then, his body began to writhe like water, his form gradually softening naturally, and he moved quickly around the room using all four limbs.

Despite the strange posture, Chen Shisheng felt no discomfort whatsoever; on the contrary, his body felt relaxed.

"Is this the hidden effect of this destiny?!"

Chen Shisheng pondered for a moment, and suddenly something moved before his eyes.

Golden rays of sunlight streamed through the windows, like a woven net.

In the sunlight, several tiny mosquitoes were flying around, as if they were being reborn from the ashes, undergoing a baptism.

Swish!

The next moment.

A large hand suddenly swung out, bringing with it a gust of cold wind.

Several mosquitoes were slapped to the ground, flattened into pancakes, and died instantly.

"My speed and reaction time have also improved to some extent. But the most obvious improvement... is that my Qi and blood have become more concealed."

Chen Shisheng jumped off the wall, raised his arm, and his skin glowed with an eerie pale green light.

This thing seems to be some kind of protective layer on the poisonous lizard's body, which can isolate the fluctuations of qi and blood to a certain extent.

"With this ability, from now on..."

Chen Shisheng's face lit up with joy, and he uttered a sigh.

"A sneak attack would be even easier!"

"So, what exactly is the effect of the insidious poison?"

With this in mind, Chen Shisheng immediately raised his hand, his blood and qi flowing rapidly through his body. He slapped the wooden table in front of him lightly, without using any force.

hiss.....

A few wisps of white smoke immediately rose from the wooden table, and Chen Shisheng's palm strike had actually left a palm print on the wooden table.

A faint, pungent smell still lingered in the air.

Is this a toxin?

Chen Shisheng was stunned.

"With this destiny, if one wears it and engages in combat, after several exchanges, the other will be corroded by my toxins and poisoned in no time!"

He was overjoyed. Looking down to examine the palm print on the table closely, Chen Shisheng noticed faint traces of corrosion, almost identical to the venom of the poisonous lizard from before.

However, it is slightly less powerful, but it is still a powerful killing move against unsuspecting martial artists.

Chen Shisheng was satisfied. In this way, he didn't need to go to the trouble of using poison powder or poisonous water.

He himself is now poisonous, so once he makes a move, he can completely catch people off guard.

Suddenly, Chen Shisheng thought of another possibility.

He walked to the bed, bent down and opened a hidden compartment under the bed, taking out the darts that were inside.

This was specially made by him using the finest iron, and the quality is excellent.

"If we could attach toxins to the darts, I wonder if that would be feasible..."

Chen Shisheng's gaze shifted and landed on a black iron dart in his hand.

He gently raised his hand and used his thumb to press the iron dart between his middle and ring fingers.

Just then, a bird flew by outside.

With a whoosh!

Chen Shi's blood surged, and he suddenly exerted force in his fingers.

He shot out the iron dart in his hand, accurately hitting a passing bird.

The bird let out a pitiful cry, and its body immediately went out of control, plummeting to the ground.

Chen Shisheng moved and went outside.

The brown bird, its body pierced, collapsed helplessly to the ground.

"It works!"

Chen Shisheng approached, picked up the bird, and took a look.

They discovered that its body was hissing and emitting a little poisonous smoke, and its feathers had been burned through a large hole, giving off a strange smell of flesh and blood corroding.

Before Chen Shisheng could continue examining him, a sudden wave of weakness washed over him, and his skin rapidly reverted to its previous normal color. His blood and qi felt intensely hot and restless, like a loach struggling to find its burrow, surging uncontrollably.

This is a sign of qi and blood deficiency.

Chen Shisheng had anticipated this, but he only felt uncomfortable for a short time. With the continuous circulation of new blood and energy, his condition quickly returned to normal.

Only a few drops of dark red blood flowed from his philtrum, emitting a foul stench.

"Bone forging is really good. If I were still at the previous level of Qi and blood, I'd probably be lying down by now."

Chen Shisheng roughly understood the specific effects of the [Lizard Shadow Poison Body], and his eyes brightened.

After that, if he were to go to Yinshan to obtain a new destiny sign, he would have one more means to protect his life.

Night fell quickly, and there was a faint hint of summer heat in the air.

It's a bit hot.

"Shisheng, dinner's ready."

Chen Shisheng was inside exploring how to use the new destiny chart when his sister-in-law Liu Yun called out from outside.

"The sea bass was fresh today, so I bought a lot and made soup. It turned a milky white color. You've lost weight lately, so you need to eat more nourishing food."

As Liu Yun set out the bowls and chopsticks, she spoke earnestly.

"..."

Chen Shisheng was speechless. He looked down at his arms, which had become even thicker and were now as thick as a woman's thigh.

He really didn't know how Liu Yun could tell he had lost weight.

The room was stuffy, so he helped move the tables and chairs outside, listening to Liu Yun muttering softly.

"Rice prices have gone up again recently, Shisheng, do you think we should stock up on some grain...?"

"Also, recently, for some reason, a lot of fish in the river have suddenly died. They're all belly up, a vast expanse of white. Many people are going to the riverbank to collect them."

"Some say it was the river god who was angry and brought down the disaster."

The two ate and chatted, with Liu Yun doing most of the talking.

Unlike the outer city, the inner city did not have very good neighborly relations; they were just nodding acquaintances.

Once Chen Shisheng went out, Liu Yun was left alone at home, with no one to talk to all day long, which was really boring.

Therefore, Chen Shisheng would nod and offer his opinions from time to time.

"I heard that someone is organizing a sacrificial ceremony."

Liu Yun picked up a piece of fish, put it in her mouth, and said mysteriously.

Sacrifice?

Chen Shisheng was slightly taken aback, but then understood.

In this world, all sorts of demons and monsters have come out. It's not uncommon for ordinary people to suffer and try to pray to heaven through sacrifices.

"Do you want virgin boys and girls?"

He said it casually.

"Where do we need those! The River God Festival has been going on for many years. A few years ago, when the river flooded, we even held one. It was quite a lively affair."

Liu Yun recalled, her expression wistful.

She remembered that her family had participated in the river god festival together before, but now her husband was missing and his fate was unknown.

He and his brother-in-law were left to depend on each other for survival.

Chen Shisheng noticed her expression and was about to speak when he changed the subject.

dong dong!

Just then, the door suddenly rang.

"I'll go take a look."

Chen Shisheng put down his chopsticks and got up to walk towards the door.
