The date for the martial arts tournament to be held at the Northern Shaolin Temple has been set.

There are still two places that Chu Qinghe and his group have not yet reached.

With the sails unfurled, the large ship carrying Chu Qinghe and his companions slowly sailed towards the shore of Gusu City.

In contrast, Chu Qinghe was in his cabin at the moment.

While they waited, the door was pushed open, and Xiao Zhao and Qu Feiyan, carrying a wooden basin, entered the room.

"Young master, the water has been brought."

Hearing Xiao Zhao's voice, Chu Qinghe in the room softly hummed in agreement and said, "Put it on the table!"

After Xiao Zhao placed the wooden basin on the table, Chu Qinghe lightly dipped his finger into the water in the basin.

Immediately afterwards, to the astonishment of Qu Feiyan and the other girls, the originally clear water in the basin turned a deeper shade of blue.

It looked as if a little bit of paint had been added to it.

Upon seeing this, the women quickly shifted their gaze to Chu Qinghe's fingers, only to find that Chu Qinghe's skin color was normal, and there was no blue paint on them.

After the water in the wooden basin changed color, Chu Qinghe picked up a piece of paper from the table.

As soon as his true energy swept over it, the entire sheet of paper split in two. Chu Qinghe held a strip of paper about an inch wide between his fingers and casually tossed it into the wooden basin.

After soaking for a few breaths, he used his true energy to wrap the completely wet strip of paper.

As the paper floated in the air, drops of water fell rapidly from the sky.

Subsequently, under the circulation of Chu Qinghe's true energy, wisps of true energy quickly gathered around the page and stirred up slight waves of air.

Under the influence of this shockwave, in just ten breaths, the previously damp paper strip instantly became dry and crisp.

And the color of the paper strip did not change despite having just been soaked in the azure water in the basin.

After placing the page on the table, Chu Qinghe picked up the brush, lightly dipped it in ink, and slowly wrote a line of characters on the page.

"Great Song Dynasty, Murong of Gusu, thirty days."

After rolling up the note and putting it into a bamboo tube the size of a section, and sealing the edges with beeswax, Chu Qinghe handed it to Shuimu Yinji and said, "When you return to Gusu City later, go to Baixiaoge to buy a copy of 'Jianghu Fengyunlu' and give this to the people at Baixiaoge, explaining to Baixiaosheng that it is for you."

Jellyfish Yin Ji smiled sweetly and said, "Okay!"

After Shuimu Yinji took the small bamboo tube from Chu Qinghe, Qu Feiyan first looked at the bamboo tube in Shuimu Yinji's hand, then at the wooden basin on the table, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Young Master, what are you doing?"

Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Inquire about the relationship between Murong Longcheng, Murong Fu, and Bai Xiaosheng, and also keep the poison in Bai Xiaosheng's body in check."

Relationships are things that require long-term maintenance and need to be nurtured from time to time.

Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Lianxing, who had already reached out to touch the water in the wooden basin, immediately withdrew her hand and put it behind her back, displaying an obedient demeanor.

Seeing Lianxing's actions, Chu Qinghe chuckled inwardly, then reached out and dipped his finger into the water in the basin again.

The next second, the water in the basin, which had originally had a bluish hue, returned to its previous clear and transparent state.

Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Lianxing asked in astonishment, "Is it possible to poison someone in this way?"

Chu Qinghe gave a soft "hmm" and said, "The medicine that just soaked that paper strip contained other ingredients that can maintain its medicinal properties. It should last for thirty days without any problem. Moreover, if you touch it, the toxins will enter your body through your skin."

Upon hearing the voice, Jellyfish Yin Ji spoke up: "It hasn't been long since you last met Bai Xiaosheng, so why are you poisoning Bai Xiaosheng's side again now?"

Chu Qinghe said calmly, "It was just something I did on the spur of the moment."

God always reserves opportunities for those who are prepared, and Chu Qinghe has always believed in this.

So, if you can accomplish two things at the same time, why not?

Qu Feiyan, who was standing to the side, thought for a moment and said, "But if this bamboo tube is opened and inspected by other disciples of the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion, wouldn't they also be poisoned?"

Chu Qinghe said lazily, "It's not that bad. With Bai Xiaosheng's caution, he wouldn't let anyone see the information I passed on to him so easily. When he knew I was coming to the Great Song Kingdom, he must have already sent messages to the Bai Xiaoge branches all over the Great Song Kingdom."

After all, Chu Qinghe now knows almost everything about the Azure Dragon Society's plans during this period.

Given Bai Xiaosheng's modus operandi and the extent of his current familiarity with Chu Qinghe, it's impossible for him to entrust someone else to watch the messages being transmitted on his side.

This can be seen from the time it took when Chu Qinghe entrusted Bai Xiaosheng to help collect information about the drugs.

If the information were delivered layer by layer, it wouldn't be possible for it to happen so quickly.

It's only possible that all the information from Chu Qinghe's side could reach Bai Xiaosheng directly.

However, after a pause, Chu Qinghe changed the subject, saying, "Moreover, the water we just soaked in isn't strictly speaking poison; it's just a few auxiliary medicines that will only affect the drugs lurking in Bai Xiaosheng and Sun Baifa's bodies. Even if others touch it, it won't have any effect or symptoms."

At this moment, Qu Feiyan asked, "Since you want to maintain the toxins in the bodies of those in the Azure Dragon Society, why only consider Bai Xiaosheng and ignore Wudang Daoist Mu and Zhu Wushi?"

In response, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "The others don't matter, but Bai Xiaosheng is in charge of Bai Xiaoge, so his importance is different, and therefore he needs to be given special attention."
