My Xiuxian painting style is not right

Chapter 177 Fighting Poison with Poison (Page 14)

The giant rat let out a shrill scream, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.

It struggled a few times and then stopped moving, and its blood dyed the surrounding land red.

"It's finally solved." Shangguan Wan'er put away her flying sword and let out a sigh.

The coldness around Luo Li dissipated, and her expression returned to its icy cold state. She walked to Chen Yu without saying a word, her eyes scanning him as if checking if he was injured.

"Mr. Chen, are you okay?" Huang Ying'er also came over and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Chen Yu waved his hand and walked out from behind the tree.

He looked at the huge rat corpse in front of him and felt a little scared.

If I were hit by it, I would probably be crippled if not killed.

"Chen Yu, what were you doing just now? Why were you hiding?" Lin Qingxue walked in front of Chen Yu, frowned slightly, and there was a hint of blame in her tone.

"I... I'm just afraid of getting hurt by mistake." Chen Yu smiled awkwardly, "You all know that with my limited skills, I can't really help in a battle of this level."

"Hmph, you're smart." Lin Qingxue snorted coldly and didn't pursue the matter any further.

"Mr. Chen, what kind of hidden weapon did you use just now that could actually fascinate this giant rat?"

Liu Ruyan walked over to Chen Yu and asked curiously. Her eyes fell on the slingshot in Chen Yu's hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

This thing looks ordinary, but how can it be so powerful?

"What are you talking about?" Chen Yu shook the slingshot in his hand. "This is a treasure passed down from my ancestors. It's called 'Hundred Steps Through the Willow'. It can shoot a special kind of bewitching bullet. Even the most powerful spirit beast will be temporarily unconscious if it is hit by it."

"Oh? There is such a magical hidden weapon?" Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes lit up, and she was obviously very interested in Chen Yu's "Hundred Steps Through the Arrow".

"Of course." Chen Yu said proudly, "This is a treasure passed down from my ancestors. I won't tell anyone else about it."

"Mr. Chen, can you lend me this hidden weapon of yours?" Liu Ruyan pointed at the slingshot in Chen Yu's hand and said with a smile.

"This..." Chen Yu looked embarrassed. "This is my treasure. How can I lend it to anyone?"

"Mr. Chen, please lend it to me and let me have a look. I promise I won't damage your treasure."

As Liu Ruyan spoke, she deliberately rubbed Chen Yu's arm with her plump breasts. Her voice was so delicate that Chen Yu's bones almost softened.

"Well... okay." Chen Yu finally couldn't resist Liu Ruyan's nagging and handed the slingshot to her.

Liu Ruyan took the slingshot, examined it carefully, and then asked curiously, "Mr. Chen, where did you buy this slingshot?

I want to buy some too.”

"This..." Chen Yu stammered, "I made this myself, I won't tell anyone else."

"You made it yourself?" Liu Ruyan looked at Chen Yu in surprise. "Mr. Chen, can you also make hidden weapons?"

"I understand a little, a little." Chen Yu waved his hand modestly.

"Mr. Chen, you are so awesome!" Liu Ruyan looked at Chen Yu with admiration, her eyes full of little stars.

Chen Yu felt a little embarrassed by Liu Ruyan's gaze and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Miss Huang, why are you here?"

"I came here to pick herbs on my master's orders. I passed by here and heard the fighting, so I came to take a look."

Huang Ying'er explained.

"I see." Chen Yu nodded. "This time, thanks to Miss Huang's help, otherwise we would have had to go through a lot of trouble to deal with this giant rat."

"Mr. Chen, you're too polite. It's just a small favor." Huang Ying'er said modestly.

"By the way, Miss Huang, did you find the herbs you picked? Do you want us to help you?"

Chen Yu asked.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Chen. I have finished picking them." Huang Ying'er pointed to a bamboo basket behind her, which was filled with various herbs.

"That's good." Chen Yu nodded. "In that case, let's say goodbye."

"Mr. Chen, please stay." Huang Ying'er suddenly called Chen Yu.

"Miss Huang, is there anything else?" Chen Yu asked puzzledly.

"Master Chen, I see your forehead is black, I'm afraid you might have a bloody disaster."

Huang Ying'er said seriously.

"A bloody disaster?" Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat disapproving.

He's a modern man, how could he possibly be in such a bloody disaster? Could Huang Ying'er be exaggerating?

"Miss Huang, please stop joking." Chen Yu said with a smile, "I have a very strong life. There is no way I will encounter any bloody disaster."

"Mr. Chen, I see from your face that you are not an ordinary person." Huang Ying'er ignored Chen Yu's teasing and continued, "There is a hint of evil between your eyebrows. This is a sign of excessive killing and a sense of resentment.

If it is not resolved in time, it will backfire."

Chen Yu was shocked. How could Huang Ying'er see that he had killed too many people?

After he traveled to this world, he did kill a lot of people. Those who tried to snatch his opportunities or wanted to kill him were all killed by him without mercy.

Is it really like Huang Ying'er said, that he has killed too many people and has gotten into trouble?

"Miss Huang, what should I do then?" Chen Yu asked hurriedly.

Although he didn't believe in fate, he was more prepared for the worst. If what Huang Ying'er said was true, he would be in danger.

"The person who tied the bell must untie it." Huang Ying'er said meaningfully, "The evil spirit in you can only be resolved by yourself."

"Resolve it? How to resolve it?" Chen Yu asked.

"Do more good deeds and commit fewer murders." Huang Ying'er said calmly, "If you can do more good deeds and accumulate merit, you will naturally be able to dispel the evil spirit in your body."

Chen Yu was completely confused. Why did Huang Ying'er say the same thing as those charlatans?

Do more good deeds and commit less murder? Isn't this too far-fetched?

"Ms. Huang, what you said is too..." Chen Yu wanted to say "that's nonsense", but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

He looked at Huang Ying'er's serious expression and suddenly felt a little shaken.

"Mr. Chen, I know you don't believe me, but what I said is true."

Huang Ying'er looked at Chen Yu and said sincerely, "If you don't believe me, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Chen Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "Miss Huang, I will seriously consider what you said."

"That's great." Huang Ying'er nodded, then said, "It's getting late, I should go back.

Mr. Chen, we will meet again later."

"See you later." Chen Yu bowed.

Huang Ying'er turned and left, her figure gradually disappearing into the night.

Chen Yu looked at the direction where Huang Ying'er left, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.

He didn't know whether what Huang Ying'er said was true or false, but he vaguely felt that he seemed to be caught in a huge whirlpool.

"Chen Yu, what are you thinking about?" Lin Qingxue walked to Chen Yu and asked softly.

"Nothing." Chen Yu shook his head and suppressed the doubts in his heart.

"Chen Yu, are you really okay?" Luo Li also came over and looked at Chen Yu with concern.

"I'm really fine." Chen Yu smiled and said, "Let's leave here first. The smell of blood is too strong here. I'm afraid it will attract other monsters."

"Yes." Lin Qingxue nodded, then said to Shangguan Wan'er and Liu Ruyan, "Let's go."

"Okay." Shangguan Wan'er and Liu Ruyan responded and followed Lin Qingxue and Luo Li out of the valley.

Chen Yu was walking at the back. He looked back at the huge rat corpse and suddenly a bold idea popped up in his mind.

"System, can this giant rat's corpse be used to refine some kind of elixir?"

Chen Yu asked in his heart.

The system's cold voice rang out in his mind: "You can refine the 'Great Strength Pill'. After taking it, you can greatly increase your strength, but there are certain side effects. It can easily make people manic and irritable."

"Super Strength Pill?" Chen Yu's eyes lit up. This is a good thing.

His current strength is still too weak. If he can refine the giant strength pill and increase his strength, he will be more confident when encountering danger in the future.

"Okay, then let's refine the giant strength pill!" Chen Yu said in his heart.

Chen Yu quickly caught up with Lin Qingxue and the others and said to them, "My dear ladies, I suddenly came up with a good idea. We can use the corpse of this giant rat to refine a pill that can enhance our strength!"

"Oh? What kind of elixir?" Lin Qingxue and others became interested after hearing this.

"The Giant Strength Pill!" Chen Yu said mysteriously, "This Giant Strength Pill is a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors. After taking it, one can become extremely strong and invulnerable to swords and spears!"

"Is this true?" Liu Ruyan looked at Chen Yu with suspicion. She always felt that Chen Yu was unreliable and nine out of ten things he said were lies.

"Of course it's true." Chen Yu patted his chest and assured, "When have I ever lied to you?"

Lin Qingxue and the others looked at each other. Chen Yu's confident look made them hesitate.

This guy is usually so frivolous, and when he suddenly becomes serious, it makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Chen Yu, is the giant strength pill you mentioned really that magical?"

Lin Qingxue asked, with a hint of doubt in her tone.

Chen Yu chuckled and said, "Of course it's true, how could I lie to you?

This Juli Dan is a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors, and I don’t tell anyone about it.”

As he spoke, he lowered his voice mysteriously.

"Tsk, who would believe you?" Liu Ruyan curled her lips with a look of disdain.

She turned her head to look at Shangguan Wan'er and Luo Li, "Sister Wan'er, Sister Luo Li, do you believe it?"

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head. She was reserved about Chen Yu's "secret recipe passed down from ancestors".

Luo Li said nothing, but just looked at Chen Yu quietly, with no emotion in her eyes.

Chen Yu felt a little embarrassed by the three of them looking at him. He coughed twice and said, "Ahem, how about this? I'll refine it for you to see, how about that?"

"Refine on the spot?" Lin Qingxue was a little surprised. "You can also refine pills?"

"I understand a little, a little." Chen Yu waved his hand, pretending to be mysterious.

"Then you can refine it for us to see." Lin Qingxue said. She wanted to see what Chen Yu was up to.

"Okay!" Chen Yu agreed immediately. He walked over to the giant rat's corpse and pulled out a strangely shaped alchemy furnace and a bunch of bottles and jars from his rag bag.

This alchemy furnace looks rusty, as if it was picked up from a garbage dump.

Those bottles and jars were also worn out, with some crooked labels on them, with strange names such as "Vajra Pills", "Rejuvenation Pills", "Marrow Cleansing Liquid", etc.

Seeing these things, Lin Qingxue and the others couldn't help but frown.

Could it be that Chen Yu is making fun of them?

"Chen Yu, are you sure you want to use these things to make pills?" Lin Qingxue asked with a hint of distrust in her tone.

"Of course, these are all treasures passed down from my ancestors." Chen Yu said seriously.

He picked up the alchemy furnace, wiped it carefully, and then put the bottles and jars in order.

"Chen Yu, can you deal with the body of this giant rat first?"
