Becoming an Immortal Starts with a Hundredfold Increase

Li Lang had a talisman between his fingers at some point, a cold smile on his face.

"Damn, that's incredibly sneaky."

Liu Lai cursed angrily, not daring to delay for a moment, and immediately circulated his spiritual power to cast a defensive spell.

But just then...

His body trembled violently, and his blood and qi surged within him.

The spiritual energy in his meridians seemed to have lost control, rushing around wildly, causing him to fall uncontrollably towards the ground.

"How...how could this happen?" Liu Laitou's face was flushed, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

Li Lang sneered upon seeing this.

The poison powder he got from Wang Muying finally took effect.

From beginning to end, Li Lang's real trump card was not the Five Thunder Technique with its triple amplification.

And it was this poisonous powder.

Furthermore, he did not use poison during the battle. Jie Xiu's combat experience was extremely rich. If he used poison during the battle, he would definitely be alert. Once he held his breath, the poison powder would be ineffective.

That's why he scattered the poison powder on the surrounding bamboo leaves.

The purpose of the previous palm strike was not to attack Liu Laitou, but to use the burst of energy to carry away the poison powder.

Now, the toxins have finally erupted.

Just as Liu Laitou hit the ground and before he could run away, an array pattern appeared beneath his feet.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

……

Four golden arrows shot towards him from four directions.

"Grass!"

Liu Laitou felt a chill run down his spine, and his eyes revealed boundless terror.

His spiritual energy was in disarray, making it impossible for him to activate spells or even talismans.

At this moment, he was no different from an ordinary person.

A look of despair flashed across Liu Laitou's eyes.

Pfft! Pfft! ...

All four golden arrows struck Liu Lai's head.

"puff!"

One of the golden arrows pierced directly through Liu Lai's forehead.

"You son of a bitch, you're so damn cunning."

Pfft!

Liu Lai's head fell backward, and he collapsed to the ground.

Fresh blood was gushing out.

But Li Lang didn't rush forward. Instead, he used the Five Thunder Technique again from a distance.

The lightning bolt struck Liu Lai's head directly.

Seeing that he didn't react at all, Li Lang leaped out and landed next to the corpse. He picked up the storage bag from Liu Laitou's waist, slapped a lightness talisman on his body, and ran away.

He continued his journey while taking elixirs to restore his spiritual energy.

They dared not linger for even a moment during that time.

A quarter of an hour later, the official road came into view.

Li Lang cautiously looked around, especially behind him.

After confirming that no one was around, he tore off the talisman from his body and destroyed it.

After getting onto the official road, he dusted himself off and continued on his way at a leisurely pace.

It took a full hour to walk there.

Li Lang returned to the market as usual, having nothing else to do.

After a long and winding journey, he arrived at the entrance of a shop in Heyuan and pushed the door open to enter.

Wang Muying remained lounging on the recliner, her legs draped over the counter.

I heard the door open.

She raised an eyebrow and looked at Li Lang with a smile, "Looks like my poison works quite well."

"You seem to have a lot of confidence in your poison." Li Lang rolled his eyes at Wang Muying, and then threw Liu Laitou's storage bag on the counter.

Wang Muying put her long legs down, stood up, picked up the storage bag, and probed inside with her divine sense.

There was no divine imprint in the storage bag, only a faint trace of Liu Laitou's aura remained.

And as his breath gradually dissipated, it was clear that Liu Laitou was dead.

The storage bag shimmered with a golden light, and its contents were displayed on the counter.

"The discounted value of the array plates and talismans I borrowed from you will be deducted from these spoils of war."

Wang Muying kept her head down, flipping through the pages, without looking up. "We'll split the rest equally."

Li Lang didn't say anything, he just nodded, but his eyes were fixed on Wang Muying, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

He originally thought Wang Muying would choose something expensive.

Unexpectedly, she casually tossed aside those valuable array plates, pills, and talismans, her eyes filled with anxiety.

Upon seeing a pair of rings, he quickly picked them up, visibly relieved, and put them into his storage bag.

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to embezzle in front of me?" Li Lang tilted his head and joked with a smile.

Wang Muying smiled faintly, but there was a hint of sadness in her smile, "My parents'."

Li Lang's smile vanished.

At first, he thought Liu Laitou was the murderer of Manager Wang, and that Wang Muying was just seeking revenge. He never expected that his parents' belongings were still in Liu Laitou's hands.

"If there are any of Manager Wang's belongings left behind, you may take them," Li Lang said solemnly.

The trace of sorrow on Wang Muying's face vanished instantly, replaced by a sly glint in her eyes. "Well then, I won't stand on ceremony."

As she spoke, Wang Muying gathered a pile of things together, indicating that she wanted to leave them all behind.

Li Lang couldn't help but laugh in exasperation, "Don't go too far."

Wang Muying pursed her lips and stopped joking. While checking the remaining items, she quickly quoted a price.

After deducting the discounted value of the supplies borrowed from Li Lang, the remaining amount was placed in front of the two of them.

"Twenty-three spirit stones, half for each of us; two low-grade first-tier auxiliary spirit talismans; one low-grade first-tier attack spirit talisman; one bottle of healing pills; one bottle of spirit power recovery pills; one cultivation technique manual; one spell manual..."

As Wang Muying spoke, she sorted the items.

"I'll take a loss; you can choose one of the two spellbooks." With that, he handed over two booklets.

One of them is "The Secrets of Dual Cultivation," a low-grade Yellow Rank cultivation technique.

The other book is "The Art of Copper Robes," a high-grade mortal-level technique.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Lang threw the dual cultivation manual back.

Yin-nourishing yang?

The Qiao family are not virtuous people; if they were to engage in such activities, the consequences would be predictable.

"You're a body cultivator?" Wang Muying looked at Li Lang in surprise.

Body cultivators make up a very small percentage of the cultivation world. These people usually have weak spiritual roots and are not good at magic. They rely solely on perseverance to hone their physical bodies.

However, this type of body cultivator is also the most terrifying, as their strength is greater than that of other cultivators of the same level.

Li Lang didn't explain, but put his own portion into his storage bag and looked at Wang Muying, "How do I cure my poison?"

"Tomorrow."

Wang Muying didn't press further. "I've prepared some materials. Come find me after noon tomorrow."

Li Lang nodded, and without lingering any longer, turned and left the shop.

He didn't dare to delay and headed straight for Lingpanzhai.

As for whether Wang Muying would run away, Li Lang wasn't too concerned.

After this trip, I have thirty spirit stones. If I sell some other miscellaneous items, I can basically raise enough spirit stones to buy a detoxification pill.

Therefore, if Wang Muying keeps his promise, he can save some money.

If not, I am confident that I can buy detoxifying pills before the poison takes effect.

Finally, before leaving work, Li Lang returned to the shop.

Seeing that there wasn't enough time to make the array plate, Li Lang chatted with Uncle Hong in the front hall and assisted him.

Soon, it was the hour of Xu (7-9 PM).

Upon learning that the son-in-law working in the household was free to leave on his own after the first day's pick-up and drop-off, Li Lang stopped waiting and returned to the Qiao residence alone.

We arrived at the peony garden.

Li Lang pushed open the door, walked to the table, sat in the armchair, and his eyes darkened slightly.

He began to replay in his mind the process of ambushing and killing Liu Laitou today.

A flash of light appeared in his hand, and the first-grade low-level attack talisman appeared in his hand.

His fingertips traced the patterns on the talisman.

To be honest, I still feel a bit scared.

He never expected that Liu Laitou had such a deadly move.

If I hadn't set up a trap to lure him, feigning weakness along the way to make him relax his guard, and if I hadn't laid out poison powder beforehand...

With just this one talisman, he was certain to die.

He put the talisman into his storage bag, his gaze gradually narrowing. He reminded himself that the world of cultivation was not a turn-based game of mutual combat, and he must be more cautious in the future.

Without absolute certainty, there is no certainty at all!

At that moment, the door was pushed open.

Yun Que appeared outside the door, and after seeing Li Lang, she entered the room and bowed.

Li Lang stood up and returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

"Young master, Miss said she's tired today and wants you to rest alone," Yun Que said.

Li Lang nodded.

Perfect timing, I can practice the captured spells tonight.

Seeing that Li Lang remained silent, Yun Que raised her eyes. "Young Master, are you... perhaps a little resentful towards Miss?"
