Chapter 279 Guangfa (1/2)

The moon ascended the skies, glowing at the sky like water, very silently.

Shen Lian was sitting in the hall of the newly built Daoist courtyard, accompanied by candlelight.

Ruoxi was playing chess with Shen Lian. Her spiritual strength was not inferior to Shen Lian's when he first entered Qing Xuan. She also had the ability to remember everything that she saw. With the help of The Synchronized Heart Mantra of Taisu, her spiritual strength had grown immensely, finally reaching the level of Fairy Tianmeng.

In this chess duel, Shen Lian was controlling his mental strength, equal to that of Ruoxi's. He made his moves with no extra thoughts.

In contrast, Ruoxi had to think before she made every move. The more they played, the longer she took to think, and yet she could withstand his attacks.

This time as Shen Lian laid his chess piece, Ruoxi held her chin and said, ”Uncle, I don't know how to play against this move. I need to think some more.”

Shen Lian looked at the sky and smiled, ”It is evening already. Why don't you do your Qi practice homework first, then we will continue later.”

Then he told Zuo Shaoqing who was guarding them, ”Look after Ruoxi. Let her practice for a one-day cycle. I will come back later.”

Zuo Shaoqing asked, ”Where are you heading to, Master?”

Shen Lian might have nullified their master-servant contract, but Zuo Shaoqing still recognized Shen Lian as his master.

Shen Lian just smiled with no reply, formed a sword gleam, stepped on the moonlight and disappeared in a flash.

Ruoxi followed up, ”Uncle is going to that Five Venoms Order.”

As she finished speaking, she closed her eyes to circulate her Qi, and the Qi of the heaven and earth started to surround her like mists of the heaven. This was because Ruoxi had refined the Qi of heaven and earth into the purest form of Qi, for her body to inhale and exhale, hence such a sight.

With her techniques today, she could practice awakened entrance at will and make mana, but she did not do so as she wanted to improve herself and build the most solid foundation.

The Five Venoms Order was one of the rare big sects in Nanjiang. Even when Qingjiang was at its strongest times, it was difficult for them to conquer the Five Venoms Order. This sect was different with other sects in terms of its cultivation, as their aim was not to live forever but to improve on killing.

They combined the ancient people's spells with to date's techniques of cultivation to create various kinds of unusual spells, and finally compiled them into a ”Five Venoms Scripture”, recording all the techniques of the five venoms and sickening evil spells. Even though the disciples from other sects had higher mana levels than those in Five Venoms, they would still be careless and get poisoned.

Five Venoms Order was situated six hundred miles from Qingjiang Sword Sect. There was a big lake there, its surface smooth as a mirror, reflecting the bright moonlight.

There were many buildings on top of the lake water; all of them were wooden houses crossing with each other, forming a chain of water village. There were many glowing spots on the houses when watched closely, those there the eyes of the venomous beings, roaming on the wooden houses, such as colorful venomous snakes, the wiggling scorpion tails, and the crawling poison bugs.

The mist of the lake water was seen wrapping around the wooden houses, acting as a natural barrier shield.

If one did not take antidote pills regularly and cultivate the poisonous techniques of the Five Venoms Order, those cultivators from other sects would not be able to come near.

Even the fish and prawns in the lake had evolved to carry poisons in their bodies over time.

Shen Lian descended with his arrow gleam from miles away. He looked upon the Five Venoms Order. Even from miles away, he could smell a sweet but bloody, sipping his flesh and trying to dissolve into his bloodstream to affect his movements.

However he Taixu Strategy was one of the most fearsome techniques in the world, a bit of operation of the Taixu Divine Prowess would convert this poisonous mist into healthy Qi to replenish his own body.

Every inhaling and exhaling nourished his whole body.

He carried his sword and came down from the moon, riding on the water like a classic sword fairy.

Soon enough, a disciple of the Five Venoms Order guarding the water gates was heard yelling, ”Who's there?”
