Refining to 100% Chapter 7

He opened the jade slip and found that this exercise method was about harmonizing the four elements of gold, water, wood and earth, in order to cultivate the lungs, kidneys, liver and spleen of the human body, and then achieve the purpose of cultivation from the inside out.

As for why there was no fire, it is not mentioned above.

Ethan Hu had no time to choose and immediately began to comprehend it carefully.

Perhaps it was because the power gathered from refining the snake venom was too abundant, and in less than half a year, Ethan Hu had already entered the second level of Qi training.

Although he was delighted by this progress, he couldn't help but sigh secretly when he thought that Adrian Cai had reached the second level of Qi training at such a young age.

With such talent, it really is beyond human control.

After more than a month, the speed of cultivation dropped sharply. Even if he tried hard to comprehend it, his progress was just like a drop of water.

He knew that he couldn't rush into this matter, so he took out two storage bags.

After comparison, although he felt that He Dong's storage bag was better, he finally chose to keep Adrian Cai's storage bag and bury the other one.

This thing really cannot be seen in public. It feels hot to hold one, not to mention that He Dong’s storage bag must have been seen by many people.

Late at night, he took his few belongings and quietly crossed the Small Barren Hill. By early morning, he arrived at the foot of Erhua Mountain.

This is the border of Cai State. Not far away, we saw a small market. It was the morning market and there were many people coming and going.

Ethan Hu was originally worried that something might go wrong, but when he saw that the people here were no different from himself, he finally felt relieved.

He found an inn and was about to go in to rest when a man behind him suddenly said, "Daoist friend, please stay."

"Um?"

The hand in the sleeve suddenly pressed its fingers, and he turned around and saw a tall and thin man with a smile on his face.

"What advice do you have?"

The man pointed to a seat in the corner and asked, "Can I have a moment to talk?"

"What on earth do you want, sir?"

"Fellow Daoist, I have something I would like to ask for your help..."

"Sorry, not interested."

Ethan Hu refused outright and was about to stand up when the tall and thin man whispered, "Don't be impatient, fellow Daoist. Can you listen to me before making a decision? Besides, this matter will be of great benefit to casual cultivators like us."

"How do you know I'm a casual cultivator?"

"You are all alone, and your cultivation level is only at the second level. If you are not a casual cultivator, then what else can you be?"

"What on earth is going on?"

"I found a hundred-year-old red dew grass and was planning to pick it, but I didn't expect it to contain a poisonous substance. Fortunately, I escaped quickly and was not hurt by it."

"poison?"

"That's right. I would like to ask you to help me deal with the poison. If you succeed, I am willing to pay you two spirit stones."

Ethan Hu's mind moved. He had heard of the term spirit stone from the village chief.

But firstly, I don’t know this person’s background, and secondly, I don’t know the power of the poison.

Thinking of this, he refused and said, "Two spirit stones are not enough, at least ten will do."

"Ten is too many."

"alright, that's fine."

The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "My name is Oliver Zhong, may I ask who you are, fellow Taoist?"

"Hu Wan."

"Friend Hu, I will see you at the Flying Bird Pavilion on Mount Erhua at noon three days from now."

Ethan Hu was a little surprised for a moment, but thinking of the benefits of spirit stones, he decided to give it a try.

After all, cultivation is slow now. If it is delayed, it will be difficult to reach the fifth level of Qi training within five years.

On the third day, Ethan Hu arrived at the Bird Pavilion early.

There were already two people in the pavilion at this moment, one was a short and fat old man, and the other was wearing a bamboo hat, but she was a female cultivator.

"It turns out that Oliver Zhong has found other people."

Ethan Hu calmed himself down and walked over slowly. The two of them looked at him. The female cultivator waited in silence, and the short and fat man walked over.

"Were you also invited by Oliver Zhong?"

Ethan Hu clenched his right fist and nodded.

"My name is Zhang Hu, a casual cultivator from Sanshan City. May I know who you are?" The short and fat man sounded quite familiar.

Ethan Hu said: "My name is Hu Wan."

"It's Daoist Fellow Hu." Zhang Hu looked around and whispered, "Actually, this is the first time I've participated in something like this. I'm not satisfied with what Daoist Fellow said. My palms are sweating."

Ethan Hu was a little amused. He looked like a fat man, but he was so timid.

It would be fine if this guy was just timid, but he actually said it so frankly. But it was good this way, I could just ask him about what happened this time.

"I heard that the poison is extremely difficult to deal with?"

"Yes." Zhang Hu nodded and said, "Although it has not yet become a demon beast, its strength is almost there, especially its venom, which makes it even harder to defend against. I heard that three cultivators at the fourth level of Qi training died at its hands before."

Ethan Hu said: "It doesn't matter. Since Daoist Zhong invited us to come, he must have made preparations."

Zhang Hu said: "That's true. Oliver Zhong is already at the fifth level of Qi training and is also a leader among the independent cultivators in Sanshan City. With his leadership, we will surely be able to capture him easily."

Ethan Hu didn't say anything else, he just felt that there was something fishy going on.

Zhang Hu chattered on for a while, and finally stopped when he saw that Ethan Hu had no desire to speak.

Not long after, Oliver Zhong arrived. When he saw everyone, he immediately bowed and said loudly: "Sorry, I have kept you waiting for so long."

The short and fat old man said, "Friend Zhong, there is no need to say more. Just tell me what to do."

Oliver Zhong said: "Don't be anxious, Mr. Zhang. I will briefly explain the situation."

"There is only one Red Dew Grass, in the Tide Cave halfway up the mountain. The environment in the cave is not complicated, but it is guarded by a one-eyed toad. That monster is extremely poisonous. Not to mention that a Qi training cultivator would die instantly if it was hit, even a foundation building senior would probably find it difficult to deal with."

Ethan Hu took a quick look. Although the people in the pavilion were all cultivators, their realms were low. If the toad's poison was really that powerful, anyone who was poisoned would surely die.

However, since everyone dared to come, they must have made some preparations, they just didn't say it.

"It's okay. I have prepared Qingxin Powder, which is specifically for detoxification." Zhang Hu chuckled.

Oliver Zhong said: "I risked my life to test it before, and found that the toad basically would not leave the tide cave. It would only chase out of the cave if it was lured by a hundred-year-old exotic flower."

The woman who had been silent the whole time asked, "You mean, fellow Taoist, let someone use the exotic flower to lure it out of the cave, and then the others go get the red dew grass?"

"Huang Daoyou is right."

"Then who should go get it?"

If the one-eyed toad is really so terrifying, then even luring it out would be extremely dangerous. In comparison, taking the red dew grass would be much safer.

Oliver Zhong smiled and said, "Since I have gathered you all here, you must trust me. How about I take it?"

The three people's faces changed slightly, and the woman surnamed Huang sneered: "This won't work. I think you should lure the one-eyed toad out, and the three of us will go get the red dew grass."

Oliver Zhong was not angry. "That's fine. But the toad is quite fast. I need a helper. How about this? Huang Daoyou and I will lead the one-eyed toad. Hu Daoyou and Zhang Daoyou will go get the red dew grass. After we're done, we'll meet up here. How about that?"

Thinking that everything was fine, they all went up the mountain.
