After discovering the corpses in the village, Luo Jinzhi's first reaction was to leave, leave immediately!
But he had pursuers behind him, and he was just a mortal who couldn't practice cultivation. Even if he wanted to leave, how fast could he go?
The plague in the village continued to spread in the air. It was too late to move forward or leave the village in another direction, let alone turn back.
Luo Jin was poisoned and all his strength was taken away. He was thrown to the ground. In just half an incense stick of time, the symptoms that the villagers had experienced appeared on him.
The skin and flesh began to rot, and the whole body emitted a foul stench from the inside out.
He is rotting and may become a corpse soon.
The feeling of waiting to die is not pleasant, but it is even more unpleasant to have hatred left unrevenged and to suffer in vain because of this sudden accident.
But what can he do?
What did he have besides this broken body? Nothing.
So, he could only watch himself slowly rot.
It was also under such circumstances that he met Zhou Jingxing for the first time.
The old man ran to his side with red eyes, examined his body, and said, "Mortals can't do this. They can't survive the second stage of the poison. It seems we need to find a monk..."
While muttering to himself, he sprinkled a black powder with his backhand and turned away.
Luo Jinzhi's consciousness was a little hazy, but he vaguely saw that everything was transformed into pus and merged into the earth under the influence of the black powder.
Including the bodies of several villagers not far from him.
When Yu Bie Liu heard this, he took a deep breath.
One is because of Luo Jinzhi’s tragic past, and the other is... the sons of heaven are really weak. It’s a miracle that they can survive under such circumstances!
The methods Zhou Jingxing left behind were all poisonous, and in this extreme environment, the poisonous spiritual roots hidden in Luo Jinzhi's body were activated.
The poison from the entire village, mixed with the thin spiritual energy around them, poured into Luo Jinzhi's body.
He survived, and by chance discovered that he possessed a rare thing in the world, the poisonous spiritual root.
Trying to practice again… he succeeded in retaining his spiritual energy within his body.
However, due to the special nature of the poisonous spiritual root, there is no cultivation method suitable for him in this world. He can only figure out a set of barely usable methods based on the known ones.
In this way, the path of cultivation is naturally full of thorns. You don’t know where the road ahead is, nor do you know whether the next step will be a smooth road or a deep pit.
If Luo Jinzhi hadn't discovered that absorbing toxins was more effective than practicing properly, it would have been impossible for him to achieve enlightenment at the age of eighteen...
With spiritual roots, Luo Jinzhi wanted to join a demonic force, secretly develop himself, accumulate strength, and wait until one day, he could take revenge.
He chose to enter the Yandao Demon Sect.
When making this choice, Luo Jinzhi did not know that Zhou Jingxing was also a member of the Yandao Demon Sect.
Starting as an outer disciple, he always maintained his individual status on the surface, secretly stirring up trouble, forming cliques, cultivating his own people, and undermining the foundation of the big sect.
It took several years for Luo Jinzhi to be promoted to an inner disciple of the Yandao Demon Sect. His life was still quite peaceful. After all, he hid it well on the surface.
Until I met Zhou Jingxing.
As a famous poison cultivator in the magic world, Zhou Jingxing is naturally very sensitive to toxins.
The first time he saw Luo Jinzhi, he realized that he was extremely poisonous.
How could Zhou Jingxing not be excited about a person who had taken several kinds of poisons but could still remain normal?
He stopped Luo Jinzhi in public and threatened to take him in as his disciple, saying that he would teach him everything he had learned in his life.
All the disciples watching looked at him with envy, but only Luo Jinzhi knew that this man was not looking for a disciple, but someone to experiment with poisons.
But can he refuse?
As an ordinary cultivator with no power and low cultivation, can he refuse... such a "goodwill" gesture from the elders of the sect?
The answer is no.
It just so happened that Luo Jinzhi didn't want to refuse.
What Zhou Jingxing lacked was someone to test the medicine, and what he lacked was all kinds of poisons with extremely high efficacy!
How could I refuse such a good thing where I could eat and drink for free?
Luo Jinzhi agreed on the spot and followed Zhou Jingxing to his place, becoming a drug tester who waited to be fed all day.
This wonderful life did not last long. After Zhou Jingxing found that all toxins had no effect on him, he changed his research goals.
From studying poisons, he turned to studying why Luo Jinzhi was immune to poisons.
After realizing this, Luo Jinzhi knew that he would most likely not be able to stay in the Yandao Demon Sect any longer... If he stayed any longer, he might be cut open for research.
It is not easy to escape from a sixth-level cultivator in the state of selflessness, not to mention that this cultivator is staying in a large sect.
So Luo Jinzhi... started to make trouble.
While allowing Zhou Jingxing to operate on him, he used his connections in the sect. One day, he blew up the mountain where Zhou Jingxing was, released a lot of toxins, and ran away.
It is said that it took the Yandao Demon Sect a whole month to remove the poison scattered throughout the sect, during which time there were heavy casualties, and Zhou Jingxing's daughter also died in an accident.
…
When Luo Jinzhi told Yu Bie Liu about his past, his expression was calm and his tone was calm, as if he was not talking about his own affairs, but someone else's story.
In some places, it is even said with a smile.
Indeed, Luo Jinzhi's story was heartbreaking at the beginning, but later on, people could only sigh at his ability to stir up trouble.
But is the truth really as he said?
Poisonous spiritual roots are indeed rare in the world, but they have existed in the long river of history. Yu Bie Liu knows such a person.
To be more precise, she had picked up the corpse of a monk with poisonous spiritual roots.
During those idle days, Yu Bie Liu was happy as long as she had something to do, so she carefully studied the so-called poisonous spiritual root.
Yes, possessing a poisonous spiritual root means that you are immune to all toxins in the world, but if you want to improve your cultivation, whether you use spiritual power to mix with poison or just absorb the toxin.
What you have to go through is unimaginable pain.
The toxins are absorbed into the flesh and blood, and circulate through the meridians, allowing you to get used to the pain and understand its composition and principles. Only then can they be transformed into cultivation.
In other words, every time Luo Jinzhi came into contact with a new toxin, he was walking between life and death.
Not to mention the days when Zhou Jingxing was studying him. Just what Yu Bieliu saw when she pretended to accidentally pull open his sleeve was already shocking.
Luo Jinzhi simply buried all of his pain deep in his heart, and briefly skipped over it when he told her the story, leaving only some of the lighter parts to tell her.
