Chapter 1774 - 653: Origin_2

"If you answer my questions honestly, I’ll give you an elixir."

"Ridiculous..."

Ying Wufeng laughed coldly:

"Do you think I didn’t hear what you said earlier?

"The Immortality Rejuvenation Pill has been lost for many years. Putting aside whether you really have it, even if you do, I can’t be sure that you will really give it to me after I answer your questions.

"And then tell me that you were just playing games with me.

"Wouldn’t I die with regrets?"

"Then what do you intend to do?"

"Give me the elixir first. After I’ve taken it and confirmed it’s genuine, I’ll agree to whatever you say."

Ying Wufeng stared at Su Mo.

Upon hearing this, Su Mo couldn’t help but laugh:

"You’ve been in the Jianghu for more than a day, and I have been traveling for more than a day or two.

"Is this kind of trickery amusing?

"However, it doesn’t bother me.

"After all, it’s not me who will die, but you... You can use all your tricks to walk with pride onto the Naihe Bridge."

"..."

Ying Wufeng furrowed his brows and finally sighed:

"The person who told me about this is a middle-aged man...

"I’ve never seen this man before, nor heard of him in the Jianghu.

"Several months ago, this person suddenly came to find me."

Ultimately, the one unable to play the game wasn’t Su Mo but himself.

While others have no life-threatening issues, he faced the threat of death at any time.

After hesitating for a while, Ying Wufeng finally sighed and began to recount his story in detail.

But the cause of this situation traces back to another event.

Many in the Jianghu know that back when Ying Wufeng debuted, he actually had a brother.

One was called Ying Wufeng, the other Ying Wuxing.

The two were known as Red Flower and Green Willow, traveling the Jianghu together, and in just a few years, they made a big name for themselves.

Later, they mistakenly entered a secret place and ended up being wounded.

Though they barely escaped, Ying Wuxing was gravely injured and soon passed away.

Leaving only Ying Wufeng, burdened with a deep vendetta.

But at that time, even together they were not their opponent, relying only on his own skills for revenge was wishful thinking.

Afterward, he hid for several years, diligently practicing martial arts, and returned to the Jianghu as one of the Three Wonders and Five Elders.

He could be described as extremely successful.

But he never forgot his brother’s blood feud.

All these years he’s been trying to improve his martial arts.

A few months ago, when that person came to find him, he was precisely at a dead-end using Mystical Skill to introduce poison.

That person told him that Tianjing Sect Master Sikong Hua Ji once obtained a toad coming from the depths of Zhongzhou.

This toad was inherently rare, its poison unimaginable.

It was a perfect top-grade item for him to practice his skill.

What kind of person is Ying Wufeng? Naturally, he didn’t believe such words from an unknown person.

That person didn’t mind and merely informed him that Sikong Hua Ji collects this toad’s venom several times a year to concoct a batch of elixirs.

This elixir is called Dingxin Pill.

Dingxin Pill has unique effects.

Especially beneficial for practitioners, it helps flow Qi, banish distractions, and reduce the risk of Deviation.

But similarly, since this Dingxin Pill is made from absolute poison, it also contains toxicity.

It must be taken regularly, or one will die from the poison.

Sikong Hua Ji did not make this elixir for himself but sent it elsewhere.

Additionally, he advised Ying Wufeng of a specific time.

Telling him if he doesn’t believe, he could watch Imperial Court Mountain at that time to see a group sneaking out cautiously to deliver the elixir.

Besides this, he explained how to obtain the elixir for examination.

After saying these, that person left.

By nature, Ying Wufeng wouldn’t let the person escape, but after exchanging one move, he found the other’s martial arts were far superior, beyond his ability to resist.

After the person left, he hesitated for a long time but decided to go and investigate.

However, even if that person’s words seemed genuine...

If he wanted to plot against him, all these could be arranged beforehand.

So before this, he secretly infiltrated Imperial Court Mountain to verify the truth.

And indeed, he gained findings.

Compared with what that person said, it was accurate down to the smallest detail.

When the time came, a group of black-clothed men indeed cautiously descended Imperial Court Mountain, heading elsewhere.

By this time, Ying Wufeng was averagely convinced.

He immediately followed that person’s advice, executed a few tricks, and ultimately managed to procure an elixir.

Utilizing Mystical Skill to ingest the poison greatly increased his power.

For a moment, he was wildly delighted without doubt.

"According to that person, the best chance is before the hall master’s coming-of-age ceremony, to seize this item."

"For some reason, Sikong Hua Ji seems to intend to present the small toad as a gift to the hall master."

"Jinglong Hall’s location remains a secret to this day.

"Nobody knows.

"If the item is truly given to the hall master, I will have no chance.

"So, taking advantage of tonight’s outing to the back mountain, but unexpectedly still defeated."

Barely stopping here, Ying Wufeng’s face was utterly colorless, extremely pale.

Su Mo quietly contemplated Ying Wufeng’s words, finally asking:

"What does the person you mentioned look like?"

"...In his forties, yet still handsome, possessing an air of grace."

Ying Wufeng tried to describe the person’s appearance, but it was somewhat abstract.
