This is awkward.

However, Zhou Ziming still said, "This kind of thing takes time. At the very least, wait until you reach Immortal Emperor level, and I reach Immortal Law. After all, my current strength is insufficient to refine the Medicinal Pills you need for a Breakthrough!"

The Tower Master and Yun Lu nodded.

There was just one thing that Zhou Ziming still didn't quite understand.

"Do you know of a certain poison?"

"The kind that makes your whole body go limp, making it impossible to mobilize your Divine Sense, Immortal Qi, or even contact your own Magic Treasures!"

The Tower Master was stunned for a moment, then looked toward Yun Lu.

Yun Lu was also stunned at this moment.

"Are you talking about this!"

Yun Lu took out a small, transparent porcelain bottle.

Inside that small porcelain bottle, there was a faint pink mist.

Seeing this thing, Zhou Ziming instantly became furious.

"That's it!"

Yun Lu explained.

"This thing is very sinister. It's not lethal, but if you're tainted by it, you'll end up exactly as you described! Moreover, even an Immortal Emperor powerhouse would be affected like this if they were tainted!"

After finishing, Yun Lu looked at Zhou Ziming with uncertainty.

"Since you know it so well, you couldn't have been poisoned by this thing, right?"

Zhou Ziming nodded.

"Gu Tianhe has this poison!"

At this moment, Yun Lu finally understood why Zhou Ziming said it was a draw.

"When this poison is released, both parties will be poisoned. However, if someone with intent prepares in advance, they can avoid being completely powerless, but it's limited to that."

"No wonder Gu Tianhe said he lost. If he used this poison, it means he was already in a desperate situation."

"He had no choice but to use this poison to escape!"

Zhou Ziming felt that those days were somewhat unbearable to look back on.

Zhou Ziming shook his head.

"Let's not talk about that for now. I want to ask, where did you get this thing?"

Yun Lu thought for a while.

Then he spoke.

"A long time ago, I entered a Secret Realm and found it in a dilapidated grand hall!"

"Back then, someone triggered a mechanism, and this poisonous gas sprayed out, instantly taking down a large number of Cultivators!"

"I didn't enter the hall at the time; I was only on the periphery, so I collected some afterward!"

At this moment, Little Calf walked over from somewhere.

He sniffed the small porcelain bottle.

"Oh, my god!"

Zhou Ziming was stunned.

"You recognize it?"

Little Calf looked a bit embarrassed.

"You were set up by this thing?"

Zhou Ziming nodded.

Little Calf's expression was quite colorful.

Zhou Ziming narrowed his eyes.

"How about you explain in detail?"

Little Calf sighed.

"This thing was a special anesthetic powder my grandfather formulated back then to treat illnesses. After all, he treated ancient Yao Beasts, and those beasts weren't very cooperative!"

"So, my grandfather specially formulated this medicine!"

"Even though its potency is very shallow now, it can indeed take you down quite easily!"

Veins popped on Zhou Ziming's forehead.

"So you're saying, I was screwed over by one of my own!"

Little Calf played dumb.

Without a word, Zhou Ziming...

Returned to his room.

He set up an altar and burned incense.

He hung up the portrait of the Primordial Heavenly Venerate.

He directly recounted the story of how he had been screwed over.

Before long.

The portrait of the Primordial Heavenly Venerate burned.

The ashes formed three words.

"Understood!"

Zhou Ziming was stunned for a moment.

"That's it?"

But very quickly.

Invincible Liu's jade tablet vibrated frantically.

Zhou Ziming quickly took out the jade tablet.

"Zi Ming, what did you say to my father?"

Zhou Ziming: "???"

Zhou Ziming then recounted the matter of being set up once again.

After Invincible Liu finished listening, she was also silent for a long time.

"Oh, so that's how it is. I understand!"

Then Invincible Liu also cut off the connection.

Zhou Ziming was stunned for a moment.

Then he scratched his head.

"I have a faint feeling that I might have really stirred up a hornet's nest this time!"

At this moment, a small paper man flew in from outside the door.

The small paper man sighed.

"You haven't caused trouble, it's just that my father hasn't found an excuse to beat up the Quack Doctor for a long time, and you just happened to give him one."

"But you don't need to worry about offending the quack. Although he's getting beaten, he's actually gloating over your misfortune. He keeps saying things like 'Karma and Reincarnation, retribution is swift!'"

"It's just that this one sentence of his infuriated the Karma Daoist. Now the Karma Daoist is arguing with the quack!"

Zhou Ziming: "..."

"However, besides that matter, I came this time to check on your situation. But from the looks of it, you're doing fine. Although there was a small setback, it's not a big problem, and your state of mind has grown quite a bit!"

Zhou Ziming didn't speak.

Because at this moment, he was thinking that since he couldn't go back, who knows how long he would have to stay in this world in the future.

Since that was the case.

He might as well seriously consider a question.

Whether to destroy half of this world, or destroy it all.

But Zhou Ziming didn't have an answer for the time being.

He needed to see just how abstract this world was before deciding the intensity of his actions.

Of course~

Gu Tianhe had indeed taught Zhou Ziming a lesson.

Even Gu Tianhe's methods could screw him over once.

Now in the Central Continent, there were countless powerhouses.

He had no reason to look down on the Cultivators of this world.

————

After the small paper man disappeared.

Zhou Ziming studied poisons.

All the poisons in the world were studied thoroughly by Zhou Ziming.

To that end, Zhou Ziming even refined one of every kind of detoxification pill.

Moreover, all these detoxification pills were sealed within his body by Zhou Ziming.

He even set it up so that the effects of the detoxification pills would be triggered upon being poisoned.

Similarly, Zhou Ziming also sealed countless detoxification pills within the thousand illusions silk.

He didn't know if it was because the thousand illusions silk had an automatic protective consciousness, but that poison had actually taken down the thousand illusions silk back then.

So Zhou Ziming still installed countless detoxification pills for the thousand illusions silk.

Afterward, Zhou Ziming even sealed a strand of purple lightning from the purple lightning hammer within the thousand illusions silk.

There was also the ring blade.

Zhou Ziming directly infused it with a shrinking Dao Pattern and used it as a decoration for his hair crown.

After finishing these, Zhou Ziming comprehended the Dao once more.

He wanted to quickly Cultivate to the Perfection of Immortal Three!

Immortal Mark Three involves integrating the Heaven and Earth Dao Patterns into oneself.

To forge a Dharma Body.

On this point, Zhou Ziming actually proceeded very smoothly.

Because his body was powerful.

Integrating the textures was very easy.

Similarly.

Zhou Ziming finally understood why immortal spirit liquid was so precious.

Because after the textures are integrated into oneself, a large amount of Immortal Qi is consumed to maintain and write those textures.

The Immortal Qi from Immortal Crystals was already completely insufficient.

Only immortal spirit liquid could quickly replenish Immortal Qi.

"This really is the hard currency of the cultivation world!"

Zhou Ziming then used the gourd again to continuously refine stones.

Manufacturing a steady stream of immortal spirit liquid.

While he himself continuously condensed Dao Patterns into his body.

At this moment, Zhou Ziming was extremely diligent.

"system, add points!"

dust cleansing gourd.

"The speed of casting Heaven and Earth Textures has increased by twenty percent!"

"The power of casting Heaven and Earth Textures has increased by twenty percent!"

"The Immortal Qi consumption for performing the cast Heaven and Earth Textures has decreased by twenty percent!"
