230: Chapter 229 Golden Attribute: Poison Resistance

The surrounding Martial Artists were already scared out of their wits, collapsing to the ground one after another, trembling all over. The look they cast toward Qin Changsheng was filled with extreme fear and awe.

They never expected that this seemingly ordinary young man would be so powerful.

With just a single move, he had beheaded that powerful Cultivator.

Qin Changsheng slowly retracted the Pressure around his body, his expression indifferent, as if he had just crushed an ant. His gaze swept over Zhang Han's corpse on the ground without the slightest ripple.

Qin Changsheng slowly raised his right hand and beckoned gently toward Zhang Han's corpse.

A black cloth bag hanging from Zhang Han's waist seemed to be pulled by an invisible force; it slowly detached from the corpse, rose into the air, and flew straight toward Qin Changsheng, landing steadily in his palm.

Qin Changsheng gently opened the cloth bag, then probed into it with his Divine Sense, examining it carefully.

In just an instant, a trace of imperceptible joy flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Inside the cloth bag, a white jade, smooth and warm in color, lay quietly.

Qin Changsheng recognized at a glance that this white jade was the millennium warm jade.

Qin Changsheng casually put the cloth bag away, storing it in his Storage Space.

Just then, Head Escort Lin Xiao stepped forward quickly and bowed slightly to Qin Changsheng: "Immortal Master, how should these people be dealt with?"

Qin Changsheng raised his eyes and swept a glance at the people present. Those Martial Artists were still collapsed on the ground, their expressions fearful, not daring to look up; while the dozen or so Martial Artists beside the carriage were already scared out of their wits, cowering to the side, not even having the courage to run away.

"These people, you may handle them yourself. No need to ask me." Qin Changsheng waved his hand.

Having received Qin Changsheng's instruction, a fierce look instantly flashed in Head Escort Lin Xiao's eyes. His suppressed anger of many days finally had a place to vent.

He turned around abruptly and shouted loudly to all the Martial Artists present: "Everyone! The people of the Weiyuan Escort Agency have colluded with the Demonic Sect, committed all kinds of evil, and bullied us! Today, they even disturbed the Immortal! They deserve to die! Everyone, kill them together! Uproot them completely, and show no mercy!"

Those Martial Artists were originally planning to loot and pillage.

Now that they saw there was profit to be made, they naturally would not go soft.

Immediately, everyone picked up their weapons and charged toward those Martial Artists.

The Martial Artists beside the carriage were originally close friends and family of Chief Escort Chen. Seeing that Chief Escort Chen was already dead, and now facing the siege of dozens of Martial Artists, their faces changed drastically, pale with fright.

Where was there any trace of their usual arrogance? They all turned around, wanting to flee this place, hoping only to save their lives.

But where would they have the chance to escape? Those Martial Artists were numerous and fearless, all just wanting to claim credit in front of Qin Changsheng. In an instant, they were completely surrounded. Swords flashed, and screams rose one after another.

Those people were panicked and could not display their usual strength at all. In just a few rounds, they were all killed, and not a single one could escape.

...

After killing Zhang Han in Beihai Prefecture and accidentally obtaining the millennium warm jade, Qin Changsheng returned to that remote Outer Sect courtyard of the Heavenly Sword Sect, closing his doors to Cultivate and ignoring outside affairs.

Days passed quietly in the day-after-day tempering and polishing of Spiritual Qi. In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

Over this past year, Qin Changsheng had never slacked off in the slightest. Every day before dawn, he would get up, operate his Cultivation Technique, absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, purify his Spiritual Qi, and remove Impurities.

He was already at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, and with the System's blessing, plus daily diligent Cultivation and occasional nourishment from Medicinal Pills, although his strength had not broken through to a new Realm, it had gained a small improvement.

Besides his own Cultivation, Qin Changsheng had also not relaxed his preparations for the Qingyun Ranking.

Half a year ago, he had secretly instructed Hu Nan to temporarily leave the Heavenly Sword Sect and head to the Flowing Fire Sect to inquire about the detailed matters of the Qingyun Ranking.

Hu Nan was steady and meticulous in his actions. After months of traveling, he finally sent back detailed information, allowing Qin Changsheng to have a more detailed understanding of the rules of the Qingyun Ranking.

It is reported that the Qingyun Ranking Secret Realm is not only full of Yao Beasts but also hides many Heaven And Earth Treasure. Apart from the heavenly dao fragment in the ranking rewards, there might also be rare medicinal herbs needed for Core Formation hidden in the depths of the Secret Realm;

Participating Cultivators not only compete for rankings based on killing Yao Beasts for points but can also snatch treasures in the Secret Realm. However, the Secret Realm is filled with crises; not only are there high-level Yao Beasts entrenched there, but there are also the schemes of other participating Cultivators. A moment of carelessness could cost one their life.

At the same time, Wang Cheng also sent good news.

Over the past year, following Qin Changsheng's instructions, Wang Cheng had been secretly mining the Spirit Stone Mine. Relying on precise detection and stable operations, he had mined a full 300,000 Spirit Stones.

These Spirit Stones were enough for Qin Changsheng to purchase the Medicinal Pills and Magical Artifacts needed for Cultivation, and could also provide sufficient material support for his participation in the Qingyun Ranking and his preparations for Core Formation, solving his worries.

But what made Qin Changsheng happiest was that the new year had arrived.

"Extract Golden Trait." Qin Changsheng took a deep breath and looked at the attribute panel with anticipation.

The next instant, a golden light surged violently, and a rich power of the Heaven and Earth Origin surged wildly.

As the golden light vanished, two golden characters appeared on the attribute panel.

[Poison Resistance]

A trace of joy flashed in Qin Changsheng's eyes. He probed his Divine Sense into the trait and instantly knew all the characteristics of this Poison Resistance.

[Poison Resistance: Golden Trait: Passive. The host's Physical Body and Divine Sense will gain poison resistance ability, capable of immunizing against various virulent poisons, whether it is poison pills, poison powder, or toxins released by the fangs or stings of Yao Beasts.]

Qin Changsheng carefully read through the characteristics of Poison Resistance, and a trace of joy appeared on his face.

This Poison Resistance trait was practically tailor-made for him.

In the Qingyun Ranking Secret Realm, there are many Yao Beasts and poison traps carrying virulent poison. The road to Core Formation might also involve being poisoned by others. With this trait, he would be able to calmly deal with these dangers and no longer have to worry about being trapped by virulent poison.

In the future, those hostile Cultivators would definitely have no effect on him if they used poison.

Qin Changsheng sat cross-legged on the cushion and began to think carefully about his future path forward.

The path of Immortality is fraught with dangers. Only with clear planning and a step-by-step approach can one steadily move toward Golden Core.

The first priority is to head to the Qingyun Ranking Secret Realm hosted by the Flowing Fire Sect. This is not only to seize the heavenly dao fragment but also an excellent Opportunity for him to temper himself and accumulate Opportunity.

This trip to the Qingyun Ranking must secure first place in order to logically obtain the heavenly dao fragment he has been desperately seeking.

After obtaining the heavenly dao fragment, he can upgrade the Golden Trait.

The next goal is to go to Jiang Hui's place and get the qingling fruit.

The qingling fruit is one of the rare auxiliary materials needed for Core Formation. It can reconcile the medicinal properties of Medicinal Pills and improve the purity of the Golden Core, which just happens to fill the gap in his current medicinal materials for Core Formation.

Qin Changsheng knew clearly that Jiang Hui might have unspeakable difficulties, but if he wanted to successfully form his Golden Core, the qingling fruit was essential. He needed to find a suitable Opportunity to get the qingling fruit into his hands.

In addition, the remaining rare medicinal materials needed for Core Formation remained his top priority.

Now that he had obtained the millennium warm jade, he still lacked a few core medicinal materials such as golden marrow ganoderma and Soul-Condensing Grass. These medicinal materials were all rare and hidden in inaccessible dangerous places, making them extremely difficult to find.

Qin Changsheng planned that after the Qingyun Ranking Secret Realm trip ended, he would start inquiring about the whereabouts of the medicinal materials, making full preparations for charging toward the Golden Core Realm.

Besides the medicinal materials for Core Formation, he also had to search for the whereabouts of the heavenly dao fragment and the qiankun token.

If he could collect more heavenly dao fragments, his probability of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm would be greatly increased, and he would even have more confidence in future attempts to reach higher Realms.

Qin Changsheng took a deep breath and summoned the Heavenly Dao Trait, Intelligence.

[qingling fruit: Purifies medicinal dregs, removes Impurities, and makes the medicinal effect of the Core Formation Medicinal Pill pure and unblemished.]

[Possessor: Jiang Hui]

[Location: Heavenly Sword Sect]

[Acquisition: Jiang Hui obtained the qingling fruit in a certain Secret Realm.]

Soon, information about the qingling fruit appeared on the attribute panel.
