Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Alexipharmic Talisman
When Chu Yunsheng reached Yuan Tian stage three, he would be able to help them to speed up their cultivation speed. At that time, they would not need to worry that other people would hurt them. But now, if he told them the secret too early, it would only bring troubles to them.
Jing Yi was more talented than Jing Tian and his auntie. After he awakened, this type of cross-dimensional channel was automatically created. Every dark warriors’ channel was different, they could be strong or weak. This was why some dark warriors had strong abilities and some had weak abilities.
Chu Yunsheng planned to translate some of the ice elemental dark warrior’s cultivation methods from the ancient book. He wanted a helping hand. He could not stay in this shantytown for every second, and Jing Yi was the only awakened human he could trust. So he wanted Jing Yi to become stronger.
After the little tiger had eaten its fill, it started to rub its body against Chu Yunsheng. It seemed very adorable, but it still scared Chu Han and Jing Tian earlier. Tiger was not a domestic pet, and its body started to become bigger as it grew older. Apart from Chu Yunsheng, the little tiger didn’t allow anyone to touch it at all.
It would only show this type of behaviour when Chu Yunsheng was around. One of Duan Danan’s men almost got his hand bitten off by the little tiger when he wanted to pet it.
Chu Han’s shanty only had two small beds. There weren’t many spaces. So Chu Yunsheng was sleeping on the ground in his sleeping bag. He has had a sleeping bag since Shen Cheng city. At that time, he used to sleep in it when he was hunting the insects inside the city.
The little tiger couldn’t sleep during the night. Guarding Chu Yunsheng has already become its habit. So it just sat quietly on the side with its ears twitched from time to time.
This night was probably the best night Chu Yunsheng had since the dark age began. With the family members sleeping by the side, and without the need to worry that insects might appear all of sudden, Chu Yunsheng felt like all the muscles in his body were relaxed. He could even feel that Rong Yuan Body’s transformation has sped up a little bit.
On the next day, when the hazy shimmer appeared in sky one again, Chu Yunsheng felt so refreshing after he woke up. If it weren’t for the fact that there was no Sun in the sky, he would have felt like he had returned to the Age Of Light.
Jin Ling city’s water system was not damaged by monsters. The water treatment plant next to the Yangtze river was currently heavily guarded by the military. Chu Han also mentioned that there were some strange monsters in the river, but they haven’t come out of the water to attack humans yet.
Chu Yunsheng used some broken furniture to boil a bucket of water. After taking a hot shower, shaved his face, and changed a new set of clothing, he felt like he re-lived once again.
After he finished everything, he saw Lu Yaming come running hurriedly towards him. He came to tell Chu Yunsheng that there was a family wanting to sell their house. It was an old detached house. Because the area was quite old, so the City Management didn’t tear it down.
It was very popular at the moment. It was said that some people already started to negotiate the price. However, the price that the owner gave was too high. That was the reason why they still haven’t come to an agreement.
“What’s the price?” Chu Yunsheng thought for a second and asked. A detached house was not bad, if it was an old council flat, then the corridor might be filled with refugees.
“50kg of rice. He won’t talk to anyone who offers a price lower than that,” said Lu Yaming.
“Show me the house first, I want to see if it’s worth it!” Chu Yunsheng didn’t give the offer straight away. He wanted to take a look at the house first.
He told Chu Han where he was going, then sat on the back of Lu Yaming’s bicycle.
Lu Yaming was just in charge of a small area in the Western District, his social status was even worse than a rank-two dark warrior. That was why he could only get a bicycle.
The house wasn’t far away from Chu Han’s shanty. There were two men and one woman already standing in the courtyard of the house. They seemed to be there checking out the house as well.
The house was indeed a detached house, with 4 bedrooms, and one living room. The place was also quite big. The original owner was a dark warrior, and since he was offered a better place to live after he was promoted to be a member of DWH, his family wanted to sell the old house in exchange for some more food.
Chu Yunsheng had looked around the house, but he didn’t find any problem. So he didn’t want to spend much time on bargaining the price. After he bought the house, he still needed to find the Witch. So his time was limited.
Seeing a group of people gathering in front of his auntie’s shanty when he returned, Chu Yunsheng was startled. Fearing that something bad would happen to his auntie again, he quickly jumped off Lu Yaming’s bicycle.
The little tiger has already sensed Chu Yunsheng’s anxiety. It dashed towards the crowd like an arrow left a bow.
It was unstoppable!
A man and a tiger’s high-speed charge immediately scared the crowd away. Chu Yunsheng was finally relieved when he heard from Chu Han that those neighbours just came here to ask Chu Han if Chu Yunsheng could help them to get a job in any one of those three major headquarters.
Chu Yunsheng’s aunt didn’t have much stuff to move, so with the help from those “warm-hearted” neighbours, they moved Jing Yi to the new house.
After his aunt’s family settled down, Chu Yunsheng started to draft a detailed plan about what he needed to do next.
He didn’t know how bad the situation outside Jin Ling city was. But at the moment, Jin Ling city was still considered to be a safe place to live. At least, the insects wouldn’t be able to break in.
His power came from the ancient book, but he could only understand 400 words, it was not enough at all. So he needed to spend some time studying those strange symbols.
Also if he needed to break through Yuan Tian stage two to reach Yuan Tian stage three, not only he needed a lot of monsters’ bodies, but he also needed monsters’ energy to replenish the Yuan Qi he lost. All his Absorption talismans, armours, and weapons could not be done without monsters as the raw material.
He had had rough ideas about what he wanted to do when he was on the way to Jin Ling City. Selling enchanted weapons and armours was one of them. Although food shortage was a big problem, it seemed right now, what they needed the most were weapons, not food.
Speaking of food, Chu Yunsheng still had a decent amount left in his storage talisman. But he couldn’t rely on those foods. Anything could happen, what if he needed a large amount of food, the amount he had in the storage definitely would not last long.
He then took out a chunk of red-shelled insect’s meat and wondered, ‘according to the ancient book, fire elemental monsters contained fire elemental poison, it was totally different from Meat Worm’s meat. Meat Worm was a type of wood elemental monster. Not only its meat was poisonless, but also it seemed to be very beneficial to the human body.’
Chu Yunsheng had seen the effect of Meat Worm’s meat on the people in Lao Chui’s group after they consumed the meat that he gave them.
In terms of why the little tiger could eat poisonous meat, he didn’t really have an answer. He just assumed that it might have something to do with the rules of how elements interact with each other.
These types of rules, he didn’t understand at the moment, but he had other ways to test it out. It was Alexipharmic Talismans. The rule of making alexipharmic talismans was inspired by the little tiger. He has just gained insight into it recently, so he still has not tested it yet.
Alexipharmic Talisman was a level-three talisman. When making it at Yuan Tian stage two, it would consume him a lot of Yuan Qi. But since he just needed one to test it out, it would not affect him much.
It took him almost 30 minutes to complete one. The pattern on the talisman’s body indicated which type of poison it was used for. The one he got right now had a blurry fire pattern on it.
He then started to infuse Yuan Qi into it to activate the talisman. When the talisman was activated, it floated in the air and shot out a bright beam, covering the red-shelled insect’s meat completely.
After a while, Chu Yunsheng woke up the little tiger and asked it to eat the processed meat. He wanted to see if the little tiger’s energy would react to the meat or not.
As he expected, when the little tiger ate the meat, he couldn’t sense the energy movements inside the little tiger’s body as if the little tiger was eating the regular meat!
The poison was removed!
Chu Yunsheng put back the rest of the meat and started to reconsider his plan.
The preliminary experiment showed that Alexipharmic Talisman was working, and the insect’s meat was consumable after it was processed. Since this method worked, it opened up a new path for him.
Although he couldn’t massively produce alexipharmic talismans at the moment, he wouldn’t have any problem when he reached Yuan Tian stage three.
He then made three energy shields and cast them onto his aunt and his cousins. Later on, he still needed to find the witch, and when he was not around, at least, those talismans would help him to protect them.
In order to find the witch, he had to find Chui Yuquan’s group first. The first batch of the witch’s believers was from Chui Yuquan’s group. If Chu Yunsheng wanted to find them, he had to find Huang Renkuan, who promised that he would take care of those people.
Huang Renkuan was a state official, so he was most likely at GCH. So Chu Yunsheng forced the little tiger to stay in the courtyard, and borrowed the bicycle from Lu Yaming, then rode it towards the GCH.
GCH was located in the city centre, so it was not hard to find it. However, it was heavily guarded. Despite Chu Yunsheng having a GRD badge, he still could not get through security. He had also walked around the GCH’s main building trying to find a possible way in, however, he did not succeed.
He had no other choice but to go to DWH first. DWH was just right opposite GCH, Huang Renkuan and Zhao Shanhe were both dark warriors, so he hoped that he might be able to get some information from there.
The main building of the Dark Warrior Headquarters used to be an office building. Compared to GRD and GCH, the security here was very loose.
Chu Yunsheng took off his GRD badge and showed a guard the document he got when he went through the checkpoint, he was immediately let pass.
When he just entered the hall, a tall skinny middle-aged man, who was also wearing a pair of glasses, immediately approached him, “brother, are you here to do the rank evaluation? Do you want to join us? Our clan is top-notch in the Eastern District, I can tell you that we are never short of food and beautiful women.”
