Chapter 327
"Teacher, can I . . . really exact vengeance within ten days?"
In the one-to-one tutoring room, Lu Chong kneeled before Zhang Xuan . Until now, he still found the situation hard to believe .
Shouldering a debt of bloodshed, he had never told anyone about his burden, and he never expressed it either . In order to prevent himself from revealing it in his dreams or such, he even feigned a mute . He was confident that he had hidden it well .
But this Liu laoshi was able to conclude that he was shouldering a huge grudge just by hearing of his past affairs and his cultivation state . His capability was way too fearsome!
More importantly . . . the other party promised him that he would be able to exact his vengeance within ten days!
His enemy was a Tongxuan realm cultivator! If it was that simple, he wouldn't have to cultivate as though his life was at stake for the past two years!
"Since I have promised you as such, I have my own ways . However . . . my method will be excruciating, and whether you can take it or not will be up to your will!" Zhang Xuan looked at the youngster .
He was extremely satisfied with this student of his .
In order to learn under a teacher to raise his cultivation, he was willing to kneel for seven days straight; for fear of revealing his secret, he pretended to be mute for two years straight . Regardless of which it was, it was a clear sign that he had strong mental fortitude and a resolute will .
His talent might not be anything much, but as long as he was groomed properly, his cultivation would definitely soar . It was just a matter of time before he surpassed Mu Xueqing .
Otherwise, Zhang Xuan wouldn't have said that much to him .
When accepting students, he valued mental fortitude and will more than anything else . As for talent, with his capability, it didn't mean anything to him .
"As long as I can have my revenge, I am willing to suffer any kind of pain!" Lu Chong clenched his fists tightly . His eyes were determined .
"Alright!"
Placing his hands behind his back, Zhang Xuan stared at him with deep eyes . "There's a special occupation which none is willing to come in contact with or bring up . Have you heard of poison masters?"
"I have!" Lu Chong nodded .
He had wanted to learn the art of a poison master back then, but he didn't have the connections to look for the Poison Hall .
"Teacher, could it be that . . . "
Lu Chong hesitated for a moment before asking doubtfully .
Wasn't poison master a job which was looked down on by the others? Could it be that Liu laoshi was a poison master?
Or did he want to impart to him the skills of a poison master?
"I am not a poison master, and I won't teach you that either!"
Seeing through his thoughts, Zhang Xuan shook his head . "I have a way that can raise your strength swiftly, but it will require the use of poison . Even though it won't be detrimental to your future cultivation, you will have to suffer excruciating pain . Furthermore, if you fail to endure it, you will die . "
What he was referring to was the method to cultivate the Poison Body which he saw in the books in the Poison Hall .
Once one managed to successfully cultivate the Poison Body, not only would one be immune to the toxicity of poisons, one's strength, spirit, and agility would be enhanced significantly as well, granting one significantly higher fighting prowess .
Other than the Heaven's Path Divine Art, the only way to raise his strength immensely within the limited time he had was this .
Usually, when poison masters cultivated the Poison Body, they would consume poison and this would affect their longevity . Back then, the reason why Gu Mu sustained a trauma was due to this as well .
However, after the compilation of the Library of Heaven's Path, the detriments to the cultivation method had been reduced to the bare minimum . Even so, without the support of Heaven's Path zhenqi, it wouldn't be easy to cultivate it . One would have to suffer a great pain .
Since Lu Chong possessed strong mental fortitude, it was worth a try . Perhaps, he might produce outstanding results .
"Regardless of how much pain it puts me in, as long as it allows me to exact vengeance, I am willing to give it a try!"
Lu Chong's eyes were filled with resolve .
He only had this one opportunity .
While he was cultivating, his enemy wasn't resting either . Given his talent of only a single rise in a cultivation realm every two years, it was impossible for him to ever surpass the other party .
Since this Liu laoshi said that he could give him the strength to exact vengeance within ten days, he was willing to believe in the party .
He had seen with his own eyes how his fellow peers grew visibly stronger under his guidance . No matter how foolish he could be, it was obvious that he was a person of great means .
Seeing the resolve in the other party's eyes, Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction . Then, with a deep and slightly cold voice, he warned, "The cultivation technique that I am about to impart you must not be leaked to anyone . Otherwise, even if I don't do anything, you will suffer a recoil from your zhenqi and you will die tragically!"
"Yes!"
Lu Chong nodded . Raising a hand, he swore, "I, Lu Chong, swear to never impart the cultivation technique and secret arts Liu laoshi impart me to anyone else, and if I were to break my vow, may my soul dissipate!"
"Un!"
Zhang Xuan tapped on an acupoint on Lu Chong's body and discreetly sent a surge of zhenqi into his body .
The cultivation technique he was imparting to the other party was too powerful . If it were to leak out, it would bring trouble to him, as well as the world . Even though the other party had sworn to it, he himself needed to prepare a countermeasure as well .
After his study and research of poison, his Heaven's Path zhenqi was capable of turning into a tonic or a poison with a single thought .
If the other party were to seal his mouth tightly, this surge of zhenqi would clear away all of the obstacles lying in his meridians and raise his cultivation . However, if he were to abuse his strength, this surge of zhenqi could also have him killed in an instant .
"Cultivating the Poison Body requires the complementation of poison . I don't have such medicinal herbs on me at the moment, so I will impart the cultivation technique to you tomorrow! However, I will teach you another technique that can strengthen your physical body . You should learn it well as a strong physical body is required to withstand the lethal poison!"
After making preparations, Zhang Xuan looked him in the eye and said, "I will only recite the cultivation formula once . How much you remember and understand will depend on your ability . Don't let me down!"
"I won't let teacher down!" Lu Chong nodded .
"Very well, this physical body enhancement technique . . . "
Zhang Xuan started explaining .
The technique he was referring to was the Heaven's Path Golden Body . Of course, he imparted the simplified version which he imparted to Zhao Ya and the others as well .
Cultivating the Poison Body required one's body to come into contact with lethal poison . If one's body wasn't strong enough, it would be hard for one to hold on .
Even though this Heaven's Path Golden Body was inferior to the one which Zhang Xuan cultivated, it was still a product of the Library of Heaven's Path and it mustn't be underestimated . As long as one cultivated it seriously, it wouldn’t be a problem for one to grow stronger swiftly .
