C30 Poison

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

"Urgh... Cough cough..."

Zhu Ziqiao's hands and feet were tied as she leaned against a large tree and retched.

Her pretty face was pale and her hair was messy. She looked extremely weak. However, she kept cursing, "Damn little thief, you actually put me on a horse and toiled for a day. I feel like my whole body is going to fall apart... Ugh... "

Zhu Ziqiao was really about to go crazy!

This shameless little thief, not only did he use a despicable method to capture her, he also wanted to leave her alone in the wilderness.

She put down her figure and begged, only then did Lin Cheng change his mind and take her with him.

But she never would have thought that Lin Cheng would tie her up and place her on the horse, and then he just rode and ran like that.

In the beginning, she could still circulate her Yuan energy to defend against the bumpy horse. However, what drove her crazy was that Lin Cheng, this shameless bastard, had been running like crazy for the whole day.

In just a few hours, the Yuan energy in her body was almost used up. The rest of the time, she had to endure the pain of the bumpy ride.

In the beginning, she was still cursing Lin Cheng, but as the Yuan energy in her body was depleted, she didn't even have the strength to curse. In the end, her entire body was almost scattered!

At this time, Zhu Ziqiao was leaning against a big tree and did not even have the strength to move her fingers. Her body was aching even more. Even if she moved a little, she could not help but grimace in pain. This made her hate Lin Cheng even more.

"Shameless thief, ungrateful bastard!"

Zhu Ziqiao kept cursing and cursing. She gritted her teeth and stared at Lin Cheng's figure. Her teeth were about to be crushed. "When you fall into my hands, I will hang you behind my horse. I will drag you along the official road. Even if you don't die, you will still be skinned!"

Lin Cheng stood not far away. In front of him, there were pill furnaces, fire stones, and medicinal herbs placed one word at a time. He turned a deaf ear to Zhu Ziqiao's curses. He only rubbed his chin and stared at the medicinal herbs in front of him.

He wanted to refine a type of pill, but it was not for himself, but for Zhu Ziqiao.

His gaze swept across the medicinal herbs in front of him and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes. His brows relaxed slightly and he thought to himself, "There is! Let's do it like this!"

Following which, he used a flint stone to ignite the fire. He placed the pill furnace on top and began refining the pill.

"This shameless thief is actually an alchemist?"

Zhu Ziqiao saw Lin Cheng's actions and could not help but be slightly startled. Her pale face carried some surprise and she even forgot to curse, "This kid is putting on an act. Could it be that he is putting on an act?"

Although she said so, Zhu Ziqiao knew that the possibility was very small.

These alchemy furnace and other things were clearly prepared by Lin Cheng long ago. At least for today, they were all on their way and Lin Cheng naturally did not have the time to prepare these things.

"Even if he is an alchemist, he is still a black-hearted alchemist. All he refines is poison!" Thinking of the suffering she had suffered, Zhu Ziqiao immediately gritted her teeth and snorted.

"Drip, drip."

In the furnace, the herbs had already begun to melt. Lin Cheng put a few herbs into the furnace one by one. After that, Lin Cheng held the furnace with both hands and his fingers suddenly began to move.

All kinds of complex and dazzling finger techniques were completed between his fingers. Even though they were separated by a distance, Zhu Ziqiao could still sense the Yuan energy between his hands.

"What a fast finger technique!"

Zhu Ziqiao was stunned, "It seems like he is much better than the alchemists of Wen Family."

Lin Cheng's ten fingers were like ten spiritual snakes, intertwining and synchronizing at times. They were like flowing water, giving off a unique sense of beauty.

"Clang!"

When Lin Cheng's hand suddenly slammed onto the pill furnace, the lid suddenly jumped up a few fingers high and then fell back down, covering it.

After that, Lin Cheng slowly exhaled a mouthful of foul air. He stood up and directly opened the lid. Immediately, a strange smell came from within the cauldron.

A gentle breeze blew past. Zhu Ziqiao, who was staring at Lin Cheng's pill refinement with widened eyes. Immediately after, she felt her stomach churn. She quickly turned around and leaned against a large tree. She stuck her head out and retched again.

"Bleurgh -"

"Shameless thief, what kind of pill are you refining? This is clearly poison!" Zhu Ziqiao only recovered her strength after a long while and could not help but curse. " You want to become an alchemist with your skill in alchemy? It's more like you want to concoct poison! "

Lin Cheng glanced at her and nodded. "How do you know that I'm concocting poison?"

Zhu Ziqiao was stunned for a moment. "Is it really poison? You, you don't want to commit suicide, do you?"

"Hmph! Even if you want to commit suicide, I won't!" Lin Cheng glared at her and placed the pill in the furnace into an empty porcelain bottle. He then wrapped up all the tools and walked towards Zhu Ziqiao.

"What do you want to do?!" Zhu Ziqiao saw Lin Cheng walk over and her expression immediately changed. Her eyes were vigilant as she asked.

"Feed you poison!" Lin Cheng said.

Zhu Ziqiao felt as if her tail had been stepped on, and her whole body tensed up. If it wasn't for her hands and feet being tied up, she would have jumped up. "Are you kidding me?! You actually want to poison me to death? Shameless bastard! Go to hell!"

Lin Cheng looked at her calmly, holding the porcelain bottle in his hand.

Zhu Ziqiao was a little stunned. "You, you are not joking? Do you really want to poison me to death?"

Lin Cheng asked, "Do I need to joke with you?"

"Do you really want to kill me?"

Zhu Ziqiao struggled when she saw Lin Cheng's expression. She cursed loudly, "Bastard! I am your savior, and you want to poison me to death! I won't let you go even if I go to hell... Pooh pooh pooh! I won't go to hell, only an ungrateful brat like you will go to hell... Don't come over!"

Lin Cheng snorted and ignored her struggle. He grabbed her chin and fed her a pill.

"Pa!"

Lin Cheng slapped her back and Zhu Ziqiao suddenly puffed out her chest. She immediately felt the pill sliding down her throat. Her body stiffened and she was stunned.

"Ah!"

The next moment, Zhu Ziqiao went crazy and shouted, "Bastard! I'm going to kill you! Let go of me if you are a man. Fight me face to face, Ah - "

" Don't worry, I'll let you go right now! "

Lin Cheng smiled slightly, pulled out his short sword, and directly cut off the whip that bound Zhu Ziqiao's four limbs.

As soon as she got her freedom, Zhu Ziqiao immediately threw herself at Lin Cheng, baring her pair of canine teeth. She said in a frenzy, "Bastard! I'm going to fight you to the death! I'm going to die with you! "

" Pa! "

Lin Cheng patted Zhu Ziqiao's shoulder. Zhu Ziqiao, who was already very weak, suddenly felt her legs go weak and sat back down.

However, Zhu Ziqiao did not give up. She still struggled to get up and fight with Lin Cheng. "Shameless thief, give me back my short sword. I will kill you -"

"Pa!"

Zhu Ziqiao was once again slapped back. She once again bared her small canine teeth and got up to fight with Lin Cheng. Then, she was slapped back.

After repeating it several times, the little strength that she had just recovered was also completely used up.

She sat on the ground and leaned against a large tree to catch her breath. Her eyes were fiercely staring at Lin Cheng, as if she wanted to strangle him to death.

"Don't be so afraid. If you eat this pill, you won't die immediately!"

Lin Cheng looked at Zhu Ziqiao's gnashing teeth and could not help but smile. In his heart, this girl was really a beauty. Whether it was her pair of eyes or her lovely appearance, they all had an indescribable beauty.

If she grew up, this girl would be a beauty that could bring disaster to the country and the people!

Unfortunately, she was too unruly!

Lin Cheng shook his head. If anyone were to marry her, they would be in trouble for the rest of their lives!

"An ungrateful villain!" Zhu Ziqiao turned her head away. She got angry when she saw Lin Cheng's face.

"Whatever you say!"

Lin Cheng smiled noncommittally and said, "I am just taking precautions. You are too cunning. Besides, if you want me to take you with me, I must first ensure my safety!"

"Bah!"

Zhu Ziqiao spat disdainfully, "You still call me cunning? You are the most cunning one!"

Lin Cheng stood up and said, "There is no point in arguing! Don't blame me for not reminding you that the pill you swallowed... Normally, it won't cause any harm to your body, but if you forcefully circulate your energy... The poison will corrode your meridians, and soon, you will become a cripple! "

"You are too poisonous!" Zhu Ziqiao was so scared that her face turned pale.

"It is not just this..."

Lin Cheng said, "After your meridians are destroyed, the poison will slowly destroy your body, causing your entire body to fester. It is extremely itchy, but you cannot scratch it. A large piece of flesh will be cut off with just a grab..."

"Stop talking!"

Zhu Ziqiao heard this and felt her scalp go numb. She screamed in fear, "What exactly do you want to do? Give me the antidote!"

Lin Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry. When we reach the middle region, I will naturally give you the antidote. When that time comes, you and I will go our separate ways. You don't need to see me again!"

"You will be so kind?" Zhu Ziqiao looked at him suspiciously.

Lin Cheng said, "I gave you the poison to prevent you from ambushing me, but you can try. I also want to see what kind of festering is like!"

Zhu Ziqiao scolded angrily, "Bastard! Shameless!"

Seeing that Lin Cheng had already turned around and left, Zhu Ziqiao angrily said, "Give me the antidote! I am your savior, and I even helped you get a Storage Bag. You actually treat me like this, little thief!"

"As long as you don't circulate your energy, the poison will not flare up!" Lin Cheng smiled slightly, "As for the Storage Bag, I should really thank you. So when we separate, I will thank you again!"

"Pui!"

Zhu Ziqiao said disdainfully, "I don't care about your heavy gratitude. Just give me the antidote."

Lin Cheng ignored her and turned around to sit under another big tree. He took out the Storage Bag.

This Storage Bag had been obtained for almost two months, but it was useless to Lin Cheng. He did not know how to open it.

"It seems like you don't know how to use the Storage Bag."

Zhu Ziqiao suddenly asked.

Lin Cheng glanced at her. "Don't tell me you know how to use ___?"

Zhu Ziqiao sneered and raised her head. "A wild Cultivating Warrior like you, at first glance, looks like a bumpkin who has never seen a Storage Bag!"

Lin Cheng's eyes immediately lit up. "You really know how to use a Storage Bag?
