Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 160 - The Essence of Weapons Is Not in the Essence of Weapons

Because Martial Union Master's injuries were too severe, the people from the Martial Union had not yet left.

When they received the invitation from Yin Xu, they were confused. They did not understand what had happened, and only saw the message written on the invitation for Qingsheng to take them as his disciples, and started to guess.

Very few people in the martial arts world knew the name Huo Tian, so no one expected Qingsheng to take a young man who was several years younger than him as his master.

Seeing the details of the address, the people who received the invitation came over together. They wanted to see what kind of person made Qingsheng give up on his Qing Family's martial arts technique and switched with a different sect.

When they arrived, the first thing they felt was: This courtyard was truly gorgeous! It seemed that Qingsheng's master was a rich man.

When they entered and saw the rows and rows of guards dressed in imperial clothing, they continued to sigh with emotion: It seemed like Qingsheng's master was not only wealthy, but also powerful.

Qingsheng had not slept for the entire night. When he thought of how he would have to take a young man as his master in front of all the martial artists, he felt extremely embarrassed.

When he woke up early in the morning, a servant had brought him a new set of clothes. The high-quality materials, close-fitting cut, and exquisite cloud patterns were not something that a travelling martial artist like him could wear, nor was it something he could afford.

Qingsheng was conflicted for a long time before he finally changed into a new set of clothes. When he put them on, his entire demeanor changed drastically, to the point where even he did not know that he actually had the talent to be a son of a rich family.

The disciple recruitment ceremony was very big, Yin Xu specifically asked this world about the steps that a disciple should take in order to complete every single step perfectly. If you ignored his age as a master, then the entire ceremony was very enviable.

When Qingsheng kneeled in front of Yin Xu, gnashed his teeth, and called out “Master”, Yin Xu could clearly feel the sounds of breathing from his surroundings.

He maintained a calm smile the entire time. When he received the tea from Qingsheng, he did not forget to announce the master-disciple relationship between the two.

This kind of face-smacking in public naturally attracted the displeasure of many martial artists. Some of them scolded Yin Xu, and some others scolded him as well.

Yeah, they actually didn't see Qing Xiaoyan on such a huge matter. Everyone only knew that he was injured when he was fighting against the devil, but didn't know that he was currently recuperating in the Yin Residence's backyard.

Yin Xu nodded: “Of course, his health is not good, and he still needs to be recuperated, so he won't be coming out today.”

Actually, Qing Xiaoyan's original words were: “Let this old man see how my own son calls someone else ‘master,' I cannot lose that much face!” Furthermore, it was true that he could not move at all. With his arrogance, he naturally did not wish for anyone to show up in front of everyone.

They bade farewell and drank their tea. The scene was eerily quiet.

Some of the people present had seen Yin Xu's abilities, and knew that he did not randomly accept disciples, but their target was Qingsheng, a disciple of the Qing Family, so they could not quite accept this.

“Qingsheng, do you really want to know this clearly? “This person is not someone from the martial arts world. If you acknowledge him as your master, do you also want to leave the martial arts world?” someone asked loudly.

Qingsheng's face flushed red and he roared, “Bullshit! What do you mean ‘the martial arts world is not like the martial arts world'? People's places have their own martial arts world! “Where do you want to get out of this?”

Yin Xu patted his head in praise, “You're right!”

Qingsheng immediately felt goosebumps all over his body. He glared at Yin Xu: “Alright, alright, we're done with the ceremony and the tea too. Let's go drink!”

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Yin Xu caught him by the collar, “Drink? “It's better not to think about it with your body. Go back and lie down obediently for me.”

This scene was rather joyous, all the Wu Lin Hero present only felt that Qingsheng was very pitiful, as they all felt that he was not worth it. They silently cursed: “I wonder what the Qing Family father and son are thinking in their hearts.”

After three rounds of drinking, everyone stood up to leave. In less than a day, the news of Qing Family brat taking in a young master had spread throughout the entire martial arts world. Even the story narrator of the teahouse had come up with several strange stories.

A few medicinal herbs were placed on Yin Xu's left hand side. Whenever the blood in the pot had enough time to boil, a new medicinal ingredient would be added, and then, Yin Xu would slowly observe the changes in his blood.

This blood was taken from Qing Xiaoyan's body, and it was an abnormal dark red color. It was darker than normal human blood, and it even had a rancid smell to it.

Yin Xu didn't know what this poison was called, but judging from how he wasn't able to concoct the antidote in two days, it should be quite a strange poison.

When the last medicinal ingredient was added into the pot, the boiling blood suddenly splashed out. All the objects that were splashed by the blood were corroded to different degrees.

“I failed again.” Yin Xu held his chin as he carefully thought back to the sequence of how he used the medicine this time. It was only a single medicinal ingredient compared to the previous time, and the result was the same.

“Someone, go get another bowl of blood from Qing Xiaoyan.” Yin Xu let Ding Yi come in and clean the house, he himself sat by the side and meditated with his eyes closed.

Originally, they should have returned to the capital the second day after Qingsheng had acknowledged them as his masters. Who knew that Qing Xiaoyan's poison would suddenly act up that night?

Logically speaking, this had nothing to do with Yin Xu, it could not affect his journey. However, his new disciple had the ability to provoke him to stay behind to concoct the antidote.

Ding Yi threw all the abandoned medicinal ingredients into the furnace to burn. Then, he washed what needed to be washed and threw what needed to be washed away.

When Mao Er brought in another small bowl of blood, Ding Yi also cleaned up the place and asked softly: “Then Qing Xiaoyan didn't make things difficult for you, right?”

No one could stand the way they frequently took blood from other people. Fortunately, Yin Xu worried about Qing Xiaoyan's body and did not allow anyone to take any more.

“No, he's in a coma for a long time, so he hasn't been awake for too long. All the nerves in his body are dead, and he doesn't feel any pain at all.”

“What kind of poison is this? I've never heard of it before.”

“It's not like we're in the martial arts world. It's normal that we don't know about it. In any case, with Young Master here, how can we possibly concoct an antidote?” Mao Er did not lower his voice when he said this, so he tactfully flattered Yin Xu.

Yin Xu was not moved by his actions. He played with a black dagger on his finger, and recalled the usage and usage of it for the past two days once again.

Fortunately, Teng Yu had so many ingredients, and as long as they could be bought from the outside, his house would not be short of them, and if they could not be bought from the outside, there was nothing Yin Xu could do.

“Go and invite Zuo Shaotang and Xiao Feng over here.” Yin Xu instructed calmly.

The two of them had not come out from the courtyard ever since the father and son Qing Family had entered. If not for the things that went in and out of the courtyard every day, Yin Xu would have forgotten that he still had these two people staying in his house.

He wondered if Evil Sect Master would be worried if he couldn't find his right arm or left after he returned.

And this right arm should be able to understand some of their Sect Leader's poison habits.

Zuo Shaotang and the others came here very quickly. If he ignored the helplessness on their faces, Yin Xu would definitely treat them as his own people.

He asked about some of the Evil Sect Master's daily details, but unfortunately, Zuo Shaotang's reply was watertight.

“We don't know much about the Sect Leader's martial arts, but there are indeed a few experts in the sect who use poison. One of them has already been killed by you, and the rest rarely leave the mountain.”

“Come here and take a look. Have you all seen this poison before?” Yin Xu pulled the two of them over and showed them how tyrannical the poison was.

In order to test for this poison, Yin Xu had people capture quite a few small animals. So far, none of them could survive after being poisoned.

Zuo Shaotang was not surprised to see the result. Yin Xu would not call them over for no reason, and to be able to make things difficult for this young master, it was definitely not a small problem.

Zuo Shaotang had seen how overbearing that poison was, so he could guess where it came from. It was just that he and Xiao Feng had never seen it with his own eyes, and did not know how to answer that.

Fortunately, Yin Xu didn't seem to be waiting for their answer. He silently counted the time, and once again added the medicinal pellet into the mix.

This was the first time Zuo Shaotang and the others had seen Yin Xu so serious in his work. His face was sullen, and his serious expression on the face of a fourteen year old boy was a little out of tune, yet it gave others the feeling that he should have been like this.

It was obvious that he was very skilled in his techniques. Such proficiency did not come from just two days of hard work.

There was an old doctor known as a genius doctor in the Evil Sect. Zuo Shaotang had often interacted with him before, and had also seen him concoct medicine before.

Zuo Shaotang and Xiao Feng sat honestly at the side, seriously watching Yin Xu's actions. Since the other party did not open their mouths to chase him away, they pretended not to know, and openly watched Yin Xu concoct the antidote.

Experiment after experiment, negation after negation began again and again. Fortunately, a bowl of blood could dilute into a lot of blood, otherwise, by the time the antidote was developed, Qing Xiaoyan would have died a long time ago.

During this time, Teng Yu came in once and told him that Wei Zi'an was here, but right when Yin Xu was about to reach a critical moment, he didn't even raise his head, and finished with a “Oh”.

Teng Yu glanced at Zuo Shaotang and Xiao Feng, then turned and left, leaving behind four more Dark Guard s by the side of the house. The two of them did not run over, nor did they cause any trouble, and it was really strange for them to be here.

He called for Wei Zi'an in the study room. Seeing that he was in good spirits, but his face was gloomy, he knew that he had received the corpse that he had ordered his men to send over.

“Sorry for the trouble.” Wei Zi'an bowed deeply, an undetectable anger in his tone.

Teng Yu naturally knew that his anger was not directed at himself. He waved his hand and said, “It's just a small matter. To deal with a clown, you have to use the method of a clown.

Wei Zi'an thought that it made sense, he had previously wanted to take revenge with his own hands and bring them to justice, but he had forgotten that sometimes, he had to use unorthodox methods to deal with villains.

After calming himself down, Wei Zi'an placed a stack of blueprints onto Teng Yu's table, “Your Highness, this is a factory blueprint drawn by everyone from tonight's gathering, take a look and see if there is anything that needs to be modified.”

Teng Yu looked carefully at the blueprints, and realized that there were weapons factories, mines, and even the locations of the miners and sword craftsmen were clearly drawn inside.

“Well done.” Teng Yu gifted him with a pair of jade pendants, “The Ming Japan hall will be leaving for the capital, the matters on the mountain will be left to you, you must ensure that no one discovers us.”

Wei Zi'an secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. He was afraid that if Teng Yu did not trust him enough, he would hand the matter over to someone else.

This kind of place was definitely an important secret base for the Third Prince, and the person who could control this place was definitely one of his most trusted aides. Wei Zi'an suppressed the joy in his heart and said: “I guarantee that I will be able to unleash my first weapon within three months.”

Teng Yu nodded his head, and reminded his: “The essence of the weapon does not lie in quantity.” The number of people in his possession was extremely few. No matter how many weapons he used, it would be useless.

He forcefully pulled Yin Xu out and fed him mouthful after mouthful before letting him continue his research. This man was such a eccentric person, once he got busy, he would not even be able to eat, and would instead become like an immortal.

“Wei Zi'an left?” Yin Xu took the time to ask.

“Yeah, he's doing pretty well. I'll borrow him first.”

“Forget it, why should we be separated? I think he's more willing to work for you.” Yin Xu said indifferently.

He had initially his eyes on Wei Family's purse, but this purse was now more than just the purse. Naturally, Yin Xu was not dissatisfied.
