Chapter 53: The Overbearing Poison

Our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/PazjBDkTmW

Wei Junhao and Song Yiyun fled in panic after being terrified by Chen Fei. Seeing this, the Black Blood Bat also lost the courage to continue fighting.

The Black Blood Bat’s greatest reliance was its black poison, but it couldn’t even break through Chen Fei’s defense, making its poison practically useless.

“You think you can leave?”

Chen Fei had no intention of letting the Black Blood Bat escape. After all, it was a top-tier Spirit Transformation Realm beast.

The starlight within his Sea of Consciousness surged and was instantly released through the Void Heaven Cauldron. An invisible force of mental energy shot toward the airborne Black Blood Bat.

The beast, struck by this mental force, didn’t have its consciousness shattered but felt as if it had slammed into an invisible wall, causing it to plummet from the sky.

Even as a top-tier Spirit Transformation Realm beast, its mental strength was far too weak compared to Chen Fei, whose spiritual power had reached incredible levels of density.

The Black Blood Bat, dazed from the fall, failed to react as Chen Fei’s longsword pierced through its body.

Slash!

The formidable Spirit Transformation Realm beast was completely restrained by Chen Fei, unable to resist before being slain.

After killing the Black Blood Bat, Chen Fei activated the Void Heaven Cauldron and circulated the Myriad Dao Cultivation Method.

The Void Heaven Cauldron trembled, absorbing the beast’s residual spiritual energy to strengthen itself.

A vast amount of spiritual energy was absorbed and refined, but it wasn’t enough to help him break through to the next level. Clearly, even a top-tier Spirit Transformation Realm beast no longer contained enough energy to push his cultivation further.

The Myriad Dao Cultivation Method continued its refinement, absorbing the Black Blood Bat’s essence blood and enhancing Chen Fei’s physique. From this, he gained the Black Blood Bat’s unique poisonous ability.

He could now transform his spiritual power into black poison, which was even stronger than the Black Blood Bat’s. However, the poison’s activity was significantly weakened compared to the beast’s natural venom.

The Black Blood Bat’s poison was formed from its essence blood and demonic energy, making it highly active and capable of rapidly spreading throughout a victim’s body, leaving cultivators and beasts alike powerless to stop its invasion.

In contrast, the black poison Chen Fei could now unleash through the Void Heaven Cauldron and his spiritual power had greatly reduced activity, making it possible for cultivators and beasts to block it using their own spiritual energy.

Despite this, Chen Fei was still pleasantly surprised. The overbearing nature of this poison even surpassed that of his Corrosive Spirit Gu Poison.

By combining the Black Poison with the Corrosive Spirit Gu Poison, he could create a devastating combination—the Black Poison would immediately cripple his opponents, while the Corrosive Spirit Gu Poison would ensure they couldn’t resist its effects.

Against cultivators and beasts of the same level, such a method was practically unstoppable.

Afterward, Chen Fei climbed to the edge of the cliff and picked the Suspended Grass.

As he sensed the unique spiritual fluctuations from the Suspended Grass, the Void Heaven Cauldron vibrated lightly, clearly indicating that this herb was highly beneficial even for itself.

“A great find!”

“But unfortunately, this is meant for Su Ran.”

“Otherwise, with the Suspended Grass, I could definitely break through to the Eighth Grade Grand Spirit Master Realm.”

Suppressing the Void Heaven Cauldron’s desire, Chen Fei resisted refining the herb.

Before nightfall, he finally made his way out of Fallen Whirl Valley and returned to Yellow Mist City.

Instead of heading straight to the Su family, he first went to Li Zhong’s courtyard.

The members of the Qin family were not killed but instead taken as hostages and imprisoned here.

“Young Master!” Li Zhong greeted him immediately upon seeing his return.

“Has the Qin family sent any news about Qin Shuang?” Chen Fei asked.

“No,” Li Zhong shook his head. “Instead, the members of the Merchant Transport Team have been looking for you these past two days.”

“What’s the matter?” Chen Fei inquired.

“Following your instructions, the Merchant Transport Team has given up its previous trading privileges and is now focusing on securing new transport rights…” Li Zhong began explaining the difficulties faced by Chen Lao and the others.

After hearing everything, Chen Fei wasn’t surprised. These were all expected obstacles.

“Tell them not to worry. Tomorrow, I will personally go to the Lin family and reclaim the Black Copper Ore trade rights. I’ll handle the rest as well. They just need to focus on their duties.” Chen Fei nodded.

“Young Master, where have you been?” Li Zhong looked at the battle scars on Chen Fei and asked with concern.

“I made a trip to Fallen Whirl Valley,” Chen Fei replied. “Go and inform Miao Yue that I have obtained what Su Ran needed.”

“Young Master…” Li Zhong hesitated, frowning slightly.

He had heard of the dangers of Fallen Whirl Valley.

In the past, Chen Fei had given his all for Qin Shuang and the Qin family, only to be betrayed and plotted against by them.

Now, he had risked his life for Su Ran, venturing into the perilous valley alone. Of course, Li Zhong was worried.

Noticing his concern, Chen Fei smiled and reassured him, “Don’t worry about me. I won’t fall into the same trap twice.”

“Alright.” Li Zhong finally smiled.

After changing into a fresh set of clothes, Chen Fei returned to the Su family.

As soon as he entered his chamber, Miao Yue rushed over anxiously.

“Son-in-law, where have you been these past two days and nights?” she asked urgently.

“You already asked Li Zhong, didn’t you?” Chen Fei said calmly. “As the Su family’s son-in-law, I can’t just sit around doing nothing, can I?”

“Are you really planning to reform the Merchant Transport Team?” Miao Yue had spoken to Li Zhong and learned about Chen Fei’s plans.

“Do I look like I’m joking?” Chen Fei chuckled. “Without a grand gesture, how can I earn the recognition of the Su family?”

“Black Copper Ore is the Lin family’s primary trade. Trying to snatch it from them is no easy task,” Miao Yue said with both admiration and concern.

“It’s not me who has to show up—’Chen Yang’ will be taking the risk.” Chen Fei grinned.

“But that’s your elder brother! Aren’t you worried about his safety?” Miao Yue glared at him, wondering how he could treat his own brother like a mere tool.

Seeing Chen Fei remain indifferent, Miao Yue finally relented.

“By the way, Master Liu came looking for you today,” she mentioned.

“What did she say?” Chen Fei asked in slight surprise.

“She said the items you needed have been gathered and can be delivered at any time.”

“That’s great!” Chen Fei was delighted.

“Miao Yue, please go inform Master Liu that I’m waiting at home.”

“Alright!” Miao Yue nodded before leaving.

Soon, Liu Yunyan and her husband arrived at the Su family residence, personally delivering three Third-Grade Spirit Pills to Chen Fei. They also pledged their unwavering support, promising to assist him with anything he needed in the future.

Hearing this, Chen Fei didn’t hesitate and immediately stated, “Master Liu, I actually do have a request.”

“Teacher Chen, please speak,” Liu Yunyan nodded.

“My Merchant Transport Team wishes to obtain the trading rights for Miaoquan Lin Wine,” Chen Fei declared.

As a product exclusively supplied to the imperial family, Miaoquan Lin Wine was not only highly profitable but also carried significant influence, symbolizing status and power.

Even the lowest level of trading rights for it was worth a fortune, making competition for it incredibly fierce.
