Chapter 398

This poison is colorless and odorless, extremely difficult to be detected, and even if one has some understanding of herbal knowledge, one cannot sense it at the first moment.

Only those who specialize in the study of the poison path would instinctively feel the existence of the poison.

Like Xu Qing.

He sensed this poison instantly, and his brows furrowed imperceptibly.

This is a type of poison he had never seen before; he couldn't smell the herbs within it, he could only sense the biological poison sacs within it, and it should be a mixed poison; a single type wouldn't have much effect.

"It still needs other poisons to cooperate before it can be triggered."

Xu Qing's expression was as usual, but he was vigilant in his heart. Although he was not afraid of poison and possessed even more severe poison in his body, his cautious personality still made his fingers flick slightly, scattering poison in the surroundings as well.

To protect himself with this.

In this way, if the other party's poison had unexpected aspects, Xu Qing would also have a way to deal with it.

After doing this, Xu Qing was expressionless and listened to the lecture seriously.

The people around, seeing Sick Ghost spitting out blood while coughing, looked at each other, but Kong Xianglong sat upright, reverence visible in his eyes; he clearly knew Sick Ghost, and at the same time, his internal Qi and blood operated instinctively, faintly forming a defense.

There were some others like him, but not all.

At this moment, Sick Ghost, wearing the black Daoist robe in front, coughed violently a few more times, a look of weakness appearing on his face, and he raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth.

"It's nothing, this is an old injury I got when I was a secret agent in the Saint-Lan Clan years ago; I won't die."

"As for the secret technique of Sword-Bearers hiding things, this is very useful. You will face various tasks and various wars in the future, which will inevitably involve related intelligence and the transfer of items."

"Then, when you are in an enemy camp or are killed by someone, how to ensure that the hidden things are not leaked is particularly important. This secret technique will teach you how to form a small space that belongs to yourself."

Sick Ghost spoke slowly, his voice weak, but it still clearly reached everyone's ears.

"And this space has a secret key. Everyone's secret key is different, like a true spirit incantation, which you can set yourself. Of course, remember to submit the secret key for backup. Don't worry, in the entire Sword-Bearing Palace, only the Palace Master is qualified to know all the secret keys

, others will only be notified when the task requires it."

Xu Qing was thoughtful upon hearing this; this way of hiding items is a bit different.

And the Captain in front of him, at this moment, had his eyes light up.

"Only the Palace Master knows everyone's secret key, so if I change the secret key to a sentence, such as 'Protect the Human Race', could it also indirectly improve favorability? After others know it, they will also be filled with awe."

While the Captain was pondering the feasibility of this matter, Sick Ghost continued to speak.

"The purpose of this backup is that after you sacrifice yourself, it can ensure that other Sword-Bearers can find that storage space on your body and take out your last words and items."

The Captain blinked, feeling that his idea was a bit unlucky, so he dismissed it.

After Sick Ghost finished introducing, he began to teach the related cultivation art.

Although he didn't allow others to speak, Sick Ghost's teaching was very detailed, and every step was stated very specifically. However, during this period, he spat out blood many times, and his body was also tottering, until a morning passed before he finished explaining.

Very quickly, the Sword-Bearers here operated it in their bodies one by one, starting to try.

"You can practice it yourself after you go back." Sick Ghost said and stood up. It seemed that he stood up too quickly, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and after wiping it off with an indifferent face, he walked to the door of the Hall of Learning.

Just before going out, he suddenly turned back to look at everyone in the hall and smiled.

"By the way, what I taught in this lesson is actually not just the secret technique of Sword-Bearers hiding things; I also used my actions to tell you that as a Sword-Bearer, you must always remain vigilant."

"Didn't you notice that what I am wearing is not a Sword-Bearer's Daoist robe?"

"Have you ever seen anyone in the Sword-Bearing Palace not wearing a Daoist robe in the past few days?"

"Is someone who comes here to give a lecture necessarily a Sword-Bearer? Where is your vigilance? Where is your caution? Have you forgotten the Three Rules and Seven Regulations and Sixty-Nine Articles before the Sword-Bearer oath?"

"Even if there really are plainclothes, the normal process still requires a Sword-Bearer to escort and introduce the identity. This is a very simple test, and the result of the test... some of you are too green." Sick Ghost said, raising his right hand and waving it.

Suddenly, among the fifty-one Sword-Bearers, more than a dozen bodies fell down with a thud and fainted. The remaining ones looked at Sick Ghost one after another.

The Captain, Qing Qiu, Sun Xianglong, and others were all among them.

"If I were really an external enemy who had infiltrated, then these people would already be dead at this moment."

Sick Ghost swept a glance at those who hadn't fallen and smiled.

"The Sword-Bearers of this generation are indeed different from the past, but from beginning to end, not many discovered the abnormality in my clothing, so they are still unqualified."

"Those who fainted are poor, and you are secondary; this is the grade recorded in the assessment." Sick Ghost finished speaking, flicked his sleeves, and the clothes on his body changed into a Sword-Bearer's Daoist robe.

Then he took out some elixirs and threw them toward those fainted Sword-Bearers, and then he looked at Xu Qing and the others with a half-smile.

"However, there are also a few whose grades are qualified. Whose eye is this?" Sick Ghost said, grabbing an eye from behind him.

The Captain coughed.

"And this wisp of evil ghost thought."

"And this hair that suddenly appeared."

"And this wisp of mist, kid, did you enslave a Yanmiao clansman?" Sick Ghost's gaze swept across the Captain, Yeling, Qing Qiu, Shan Hezi, and Wang Chen respectively. "You five, qualified!"

"

" After he finished speaking, footsteps came from outside the hall, and four figures exuding a murderous aura appeared suddenly. The Sword-Bearer Daoist robes on their bodies were somewhat different, with a black sword embroidered on the collar.

"Sick Ghost, your test was discovered by someone; someone sent a voice transmission to our Law Enforcement Department, asking us to come and catch people." Among these four, a middle-aged law enforcer spoke indifferently.

"Oh? Who is it?" Sick Ghost smiled, and when he looked at everyone in the hall, Kong Xianglong stood up and cupped his fists toward him.

【The book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend of ten years, Wild Fruit Reading! It's really damn good to use; driving, before bed, all rely on this reading aloud to pass the time, you can download it here. yeguoyuedu】

"You kid are capable; clearly knowing me, you were still able to break through the obstacles formed by cognition and see the essence. This is even more rare than others who don't know me. Your grade is excellent!" Sick Ghost's eyes lit up, he nodded in appreciation, and was just about to leave.

The Captain coughed again and spoke somewhat embarrassedly.

"My lord, there is still an eye..."

Sick Ghost was stunned and looked at the Captain.

"In your storage bag." The Captain blinked.

After Sick Ghost lowered his head to check, he waved his hand, and an eye was taken out by him from the storage bag. Holding it in his hand and looking at it, he revealed a strange light in his eyes and carefully sized up the Captain a few times.

"Not bad, to be able to make me not notice either, although there was some trickery, it is also extremely good. Your grade is also excellent. By the way, what is your name?"

"Chen Erniu..." The Captain responded cautiously.

Sick Ghost was silent and looked at the Captain deeply.

He had heard this name, and at this moment, he shook his head and turned to leave.

Xu Qing hesitated for a moment, looking at his own poison permeating the other party's weak body.

He could see that the other party was not someone who excelled in the poison path; it should be the poisonous Qi naturally formed by the injuries in his body, which he used as a weapon.

And because this person spat blood many times before, Xu Qing, in his vigilance, also correspondingly scattered more poison. He was not sure whether these poisons mixed in Sick Ghost's injuries would cause a drastic change.

But to be on the safe side, Xu Qing still stood up.

"My lord."

Sick Ghost's footsteps paused again, and he turned to look at Xu Qing. In fact, he had already noticed Xu Qing before, knowing that the other party was brilliant, but in the end, he was still somewhat disappointed in his heart.

In his view, although Xu Qing didn't fall for his trick, he also didn't hide any means on him, nor did he see the problem with his clothing. This made him seem slightly mediocre, and even more carried some rigidity, lacking agility.

But at this moment, being called out, his mood still rose with some expectation.

"Xu Qing, did you also secretly hide some items on me?"

Xu Qing nodded.

"What thing?" Sick Ghost was curious; he hadn't checked it out, and he had also looked at the storage bag.

"Poison..." Xu Qing said apologetically.

Sick Ghost was stunned.

"A lot of poison, mixed together, I don't know if it will have an impact on your injuries, my lord, and it is very easy for drastic changes to occur between poisons."

Sick Ghost's expression changed.

"My lord, you... hurry back and find someone to detoxify."

"And fellow colleagues, you too, I apologize for this matter, but you have no hidden injuries, so the poison is on the surface. I haven't triggered it yet, so it can be resolved."

Xu Qing finished speaking in one breath, took out a large amount of detoxification elixirs, and distributed them to the dumbfounded crowd, then looked apologetically at Sick Ghost, who was standing there with his expression changing rapidly.

"My lord, the one on your body has already been triggered by your own poison. I don't have the antidote, you hurry up and find a master of alchemy..."

The surroundings were silent, and everyone looked at Xu Qing with shock in their eyes, whether it was Shan Hezi, Wang Chen, or Kong Xianglong, all were like this.

Only the Captain, with an "I knew it would be like this" look, calmly swallowed large handfuls of detoxification elixirs.

Just as Sick Ghost was about to say something, a mouthful of black blood spat out, his complexion instantly turned blue-black, and he was swiftly supported by the four law enforcers beside him, who left rapidly to find an alchemist of the Sword-Bearing Palace.

In the hall, it was quiet again.

Immediately followed by swallowing sounds, everyone was swallowing detoxification elixirs. Those who had fainted, after waking up at this moment and being informed of the situation, also had their expressions change drastically and swallowed elixirs rapidly.

There was even a rustling sound; the desks around Xu Qing were almost all moved away. Kong Xianglong also did this instinctively, and Qing Qiu's speed was even faster.

Xu Qing sat down silently; he was already used to this kind of loneliness, at least there was still Senior Brother.

The Captain remained calm. Since knowing Xu Qing, the detoxification elixirs in his storage bag had never been lacking. At this moment, he took out another handful and ate them like candy, while proudly looking at Kong Xianglong, secretly thinking in his heart.

"What a big deal, one look and you can tell the pattern is not enough."

Being swept by the Captain's gaze, Kong Xianglong smiled bitterly, bit the bullet and moved the desk back, laughed at Xu Qing, and then took out the few remaining detoxification elixirs and ate them.

Xu Qing was silent.

The atmosphere in the hall, at this moment in this relative quiet, also revealed a strangeness. Many Sword-Bearers secretly looked at Xu Qing.

It is conceivable that this matter should spread throughout the Sword-Bearing Palace very soon...

Not long after, footsteps came from the hall, and another Sword-Bearer walked in.

This person was an old man. Unlike Sick Ghost, he had a strong sense of majesty, and even carried gloominess. When he walked, his footsteps fell on the ground, emitting a thumping sound, and his whole body's Qi and blood were violent.

Walking all the way to the front, the old man turned around and swept a cold glance at the crowd, finally landing on Xu Qing.

"So it was you who poisoned Sick Ghost?"
