Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 68 Cha Nan's Careful Considerations

"Isn't this just like adding iodine to a whip, disinfecting it while you're hitting it?"

Before practicing the Heavenly Water Divine Skill, Cha Nan didn't know much about it. After all, when she read the novel, it was only vaguely described, mentioning only water control.

But the Heavenly One Divine Water is extremely famous.

Although it is said to be a rare poison in the world of Chu Liuxiang, and even the number one poison in the world, it is actually made by compressing pure water and does not contain any toxins in the conventional sense of the martial arts world.

One drop of Tianyi Divine Water weighs the same as three hundred buckets of water. Therefore, when the human body consumes Tianyi Divine Water, it will be unable to withstand the pressure, and all the meridians, blood vessels, and internal organs in the body will burst as a result.

However, due to its unique purity and compressibility, it has remarkable effects when diluted and used to prepare certain specific medicines. Therefore, Tianyi Divine Water is a miraculous healing medicine under specific circumstances.

Now, Jellyfish Yin Ji wants to use the 'healing water' sprayed out by the little elephant in the pot to make the Heavenly One Divine Water. This means that the body and internal organs of the Hundred-Damage Taoist will be constantly compressed and torn apart, and then quickly repaired, keeping him in this special cycle for a long time, unable to break free.

"Won't there be any hidden dangers in doing this?"

"I mean, wouldn't constantly destroying and repairing his body help him build a stronger foundation, or even rebuild from the ashes?" Cha Nan appropriately raised his question.

After all, this possibility still exists, especially if the person subjected to such a method possesses some kind of special skill, the probability will increase significantly.

Upon hearing this, Jellyfish Yin Ji said with certainty, "Unless he is Tie Zhongtang, or has learned the Wedding Dress Divine Skill! Otherwise, there is absolutely no such possibility."

Although the Wedding Dress Divine Skill is more famous for Yan Nantian, this skill is actually the sect's signature skill of the Iron Blood Banner Sect. The reason why Water Mother Yin Ji mentioned Tie Zhongtang is naturally because she had dealt with Tie Zhongtang and knew how powerful he was.

Hearing what Shuimu Yinji said, Cha Nan became even more worried.

Isn't this a flag-planting act?

The Hundred Losses Taoist may not possess divine skills like the Wedding Dress Divine Skill or the Heavenly Silkworm Divine Skill that involve destruction followed by creation, but who can say for sure whether he might have an epiphany in this state of transition between life and death, and take the opportunity to comprehend some divine skills with similar effects.

Therefore, it's still necessary to have more insurance.

"Master Jellyfish! Please use a variety of methods to block all possibilities for him, and it would be best if he could not be conscious for even a moment."

"Don't be afraid of killing people. It's good if they live, but it's not a pity if they die!" Cha Nan said with certainty, leaving no room for doubt. No matter how talented Bai Sun was, he was only a potential asset after he had been subdued. If he couldn't be subdued and instead helped Bai Sun grow stronger, wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?
Jellyfish Yin Ji sneered, "Since you're not at ease, then cut off his hands and feet, turn him into a human pig, and put him in a vat!"

"If a person loses both hands and feet, then no matter how skilled he is in martial arts, it is all in vain!"

Cha Nan really wanted to retort, "Yes, there are older sisters! Yes, there are!"
Leaving aside those high-level martial arts techniques, Lian Chengbi learned the "Xiaoyao Divine Skill" from Xiaoyao Hou, which required cutting off both arms to cultivate. Presumably, even with both legs severed, he could still use it.

It's often said that martial arts novels are low-class, but if you take a closer look at all those strange and wonderful righteous and evil divine skills, they are by no means low-class. A considerable number of these divine skills are even more mysterious and magical than spells and supernatural powers, and some are even beyond comprehension.

"Since Master Jellyfish has said so, then... let's follow Master Jellyfish's arrangement!"

“However, there’s no need to let Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo know about this for now,” Cha Nan reminded them.

The Jin faction's overall worldview is relatively benevolent, so it's best not to let them know about things like turning people into human pigs, lest it affect future cooperation. As for turning Bai Sun Dao Ren into that grotesque state, will Cha Nan have any psychological burden?
If he does it himself, there might be a slight difference, but if he delegates it to someone else, there's no difference at all.

Bai Sun was no good person either. He was a heretical master whom Zhang Sanfeng personally killed. He must have been a criminal with a proven track record of heinous crimes, so there's no need to look for further evidence.

When the Palkia is collected in the future, it can be placed in the base to be cared for. Even if it can't recover its limbs, we can find it two Grass-type skill fruits to eat, and then its limbs will grow back completely.

Jellyfish Yin Ji looked at Cha Nan with icy eyes, then suddenly revealed a smile full of malice.

"Very good! I'm actually thinking of taking you as my apprentice!"

"Do me a favor, and I'll keep an eye on this Taoist priest for you. I guarantee nothing will go wrong," said Jellyfish Yin Ji.

Cha Nan said, "Let's make this clear first. I won't help you win over Aunt Guo... Uncle Guo has been good to me, I can't betray him."

Jellyfish Yin Ji said, "That's not what I wanted to talk about."

"I want you to find one of those fruits for Huang Rong as well, the kind you gave Qi Shaoshang last time."

"She's getting on in years now, with wrinkles and gray hair. I want her to be perfect."

Cha Nan thought to herself, "Did the other person agree to it? And you're still complaining that they're not perfect enough!"

He replied verbally, "No problem, as long as I find suitable fruit, I will send it to Aunt Guo."

Skill fruits are just that, and there should be quite a few in the world of fantasy beasts. Besides, once you have enough technology points, you can directly unlock the planting of skill fruit trees and then have complete freedom in obtaining skill fruits.

Cha Nan doesn't use them herself now because she looks down on those low-level skill fruits.

After all, when this thing is used on a person, it will cause certain modifications to the body and internal energy contamination. If a person cannot use it too many times, wouldn't it be a great regret in the future if some low-level skill fruits are used on oneself now?
"Alright, you can go about your business now!" Jellyfish Yin Ji nodded, grabbed the Hundred-Loss Taoist floating on the water, and flew into the shadows, disappearing without a trace.

The battle outside the city was still ongoing, but it had lost its previous intensity. Clearly, the Mongol army had suffered heavy losses when it attacked the walls of Xiangyang, and now intended to temporarily cease hostilities.

As for Xiangyang, it was by no means a victory. Fires broke out everywhere in the city, and some civilians were killed by spies who had infiltrated the city, causing chaos in the city. Even though Guo Jing and Huang Rong had made arrangements in advance, when they really faced the test, there were bound to be sacrifices.

Soon, the Liu residence became noisy again. Many soldiers and civilians were carried in. The little elephants in the stronghold began to work hard to make more 'healing water'. This liquid, which looked somewhat like snot, would be mixed with warm water and given to the injured to drink or to wipe their wounds.

Although diluted water has a much weaker healing effect, it can stabilize the injuries of more patients at the same time.

Just then, Cha Nan also saw two pretty figures coming in with the crowd, bustling around the injured. One of them, a woman with silver hair tied up and dressed in white, had a noticeable limp in one leg, which was a pity to see, like a flaw in a piece of white jade.

The other woman wore an ugly mask and a green dress. She stood tall and straight, like a pine tree in winter. She was in charge of the main treatment. Whether it was administering acupuncture, dispensing medicine, or using her internal energy to help the seriously injured temporarily stabilize their condition, she did everything with ease.

"These two must be Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying!" Cha Nan thought to himself.
