Qu Feiyan, in particular, turned her head so far that her head was practically sticking out of the carriage.

Seeing the great interest of Chu Qinghe and the others, Kumārajīva quickly said, "Such a secret technique can only be used once in a lifetime, and it requires a master of the Celestial Realm to use his true essence in conjunction with the willingness of both the transmitter and the receiver. Furthermore, both the transmitter and the receiver must cultivate the same technique."

Hearing what Kumārajīva said, Qu Feiyan curled her lip and scoffed, her interest instantly waning.

Even the Water Mother Yin Ji and Lian Xing are the same.

Seeing the regret on Chu Qinghe and the others' faces, Kumārajīva breathed a sigh of relief.

Putting everything else aside, Kumārajīva had witnessed Chu Qinghe's ability to poison others.

Even Pang Ban, who had already entered the early stage of the Celestial Realm, would fall victim to this attack silently. If this evil star were to target him and go to the Tantric sect to release some poison, it would no longer be a question of whether he would live or die.

If such a thing were to happen, Kumārajīva felt that he would either be expelled from the Tantric sect and would not even have a memorial tablet after his death.

Alternatively, Tantric practitioners might simply erect a memorial tablet for themselves and then show it to every new disciple who enters the sect, serving as a cautionary tale for the newcomers.

Neither of these options is what Kumārajīva wants.

After calming down, Chu Qinghe looked at Kumārajīva and said, "Since you've chased all the way to Xingli Town, do you know what's going to happen in the Apricot Grove?"

After listening to Chu Qinghe's words, Kumārajīva pondered for several breaths before tentatively asking, "The Beggars' Sect Assembly?"

Chu Qinghe chuckled and shook his head.

Seeing Chu Qinghe's reaction, Kumārajīva pondered for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Then, does this humble monk know something?"

Seeing Kumārajīva's cautious and careful demeanor, not only Shuimu Yinji and Lianxing, but even Wang Yuyan couldn't help but smile.

However, after smiling, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but glance at Chu Qinghe with curiosity.

Although Wang Yuyan had never left Mantuo Manor before, she had heard of the name Kumārajīva.

From the words just now, Wang Yuyan also learned about Kumārajīva's current cultivation level.

Mid-stage Grandmaster Realm.

With such cultivation, one would definitely be considered a master in the entire Song Dynasty.

Even someone like Kumārajīva, when facing Chu Qinghe, is so wary that he needs to be as cautious as he is now.

Furthermore, given his identities as the Water Mother Yin Ji and Lian Xing, Chu Qinghe, who was smiling at the moment, seemed shrouded in mystery in Wang Yuyan's eyes, making her unconsciously want to dispel the mystery and learn more about him.

Seeing Kumārajīva's cautious demeanor, Chu Qinghe smiled gently and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know; you'll find out soon enough, Master."

After a pause, Chu Qinghe said, "In addition, the poison on the master's body is different from the previous one, so even if you use your true energy, it will not be a problem."

Upon learning that he could actually use his inner energy, Kumārajīva's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, "What kind of poison is this little monk suffering from?"

Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "Wu Pianqian is a rather special poison. Those poisoned will feel an unbearable itch on the soles of their feet and will want to stomp their feet to relieve it. However, when they are hit, the toxin will spread in their body, and the itch will be relieved."

"But after each time, a stronger sensory stimulation is needed, and this itching sensation becomes more and more intense, causing people to stomp their feet more frequently and forcefully, until both feet are completely broken, at which point the toxins will also invade the heart meridian."

Upon learning the effects of the poison in their bodies, Jellyfish Yin Ji and the other women, as well as Qu Feiyan and her two companions outside the carriage, all felt a chill run down their spines.

If the other women were in such a state, one can only imagine how badly things turned out for Kumārajīva, the person directly involved.

Whether it was psychological or not, after imagining the effects of the poison in his mind based on what Chu Qinghe had said, Kumārajīva even felt a slight itch on the soles of his feet.

But Kumārajīva dared not move, his heart filled with fear and his whole body feeling extremely awkward.

In response, Chu Qinghe said slowly, "Don't worry, the poison in your body will take effect in three hours. After the show, I will naturally detoxify you."

At this point, Chu Qinghe said, "Of course, if Master is interested, I can also let Master experience it."

Upon hearing this, Kumārajīva quickly shook his head and said, "No, this humble monk is not interested. Thank you for your kindness, Benefactor Zhao. I appreciate it."

At this moment, Jellyfish Yin Ji spoke up: "Master can use his true energy. If you are confident, you can take the initiative to make a move in a moment, and maybe you can even escape."

In response to what Jellyfish Yin Ji said, Kumārajīva smiled awkwardly and said, "You flatter me, benefactor. This humble monk is still poisoned!"

Lianxing nodded and said, "That's right. Master is still poisoned. If I were Master, I would definitely take advantage of our unpreparedness, suddenly attack one of us, threaten my brother-in-law to hand over the antidote, and then quickly escape."

Jellyfish Yin Ji: "Master, who do you think is more in line with your opinion between the two of us?"

Kumārajīva: "........."

Looking at the two women who were smiling and considering his needs, Kumārajīva glanced at Lianxing, then at Shuimu Yinji, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "You two ladies are too kind."

Seeing Kumārajīva's troubled expression, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but smile.
