Chapter 2939 — Kang Jingming's Poison Formula
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
As they chatted, White Leader walked into the classroom. Seeing Wei Zhao return safe and sound, he too breathed a sigh of relief. What he had feared most was that Ancestor Xuanchen might use the Xuandan Sect trial to pull some trick against Wei Zhao and send him off to never return. But from the look of things now, Ancestor Xuanchen had at least kept to the rules.
In truth, it wasn't that Ancestor Xuanchen didn't want to—it was that he didn't want to incur White Leader's displeasure and thereby jeopardize his plans for the Wood-element heir! One had to know that the Wood-element heir was the hardest of all heirs to pass on, and Ancestor Xuanchen had no choice but to proceed with the utmost caution!
He wanted Wei Zhao dead, but he had to go about it cleverly, without a soul knowing, so that not even White Leader could suspect him. It had to look like a pure accident, a mishap.
The Hidden Zhao family's plan to poison Wei Zhao was a perfect opportunity for Ancestor Xuanchen. If something happened to Wei Zhao, the blame could fall entirely on the Hidden Zhao family, and there was no way White Leader could connect it to him.
So these past few days, Ancestor Xuanchen had been burning the midnight oil in the Scripture Pavilion, searching out ancient poison formulas of notorious difficulty. Wei Zhao's abilities were not to be underestimated—if Wei Zhao discovered the poison, the whole scheme would be ruined.
But diligence pays off, and after three days and three nights of labor, Ancestor Xuanchen actually found a suitable ancient poison formula! Rather than a poison formula, it was more like an alternative prescription! Taken, this formula wouldn't kill anyone—it would merely seal the strength of any cultivator below the Heaven rank!
That is to say, the poisoned victim could not circulate the mental cultivation formulas and could not summon the true qi within their body—at that point they would be no different from an ordinary person! Most importantly, this poison had no antidote! Even the inventor who first compounded it had no cure for it!
"Wahahahaha!" Seeing this poison formula, Ancestor Xuanchen laughed with wild delight. "Wei Zhao, you little brat, I've finally found the way to do you in! White Leader, you'd never dream of it, would you? You've become a cripple, and your disciple will become a cripple too—I, Xuanchen, am truly a cripple-making expert! Wahahahaha!"
Having obtained the poison formula, Ancestor Xuanchen left the Scripture Pavilion at once and summoned his prized disciple, Kang Jingming!
"Your disciple Zhaoming pays respects to the Master!" The moment Kang Jingming entered, he performed a grand salute to Ancestor Xuanchen. "Master, you summoned me—is there some matter?"
"Mm, I've found that poison formula!" Ancestor Xuanchen said, handing Kang Jingming a transcribed copy of the formula.
"Oh? Master, you found it so quickly? Congratulations, Master, congratulations! Wei Zhao is finally done for!" Kang Jingming respectfully accepted the formula and began to read—and no sooner had he glanced at it than he slapped the table in admiration. "Excellent, truly excellent! Once Wei Zhao is poisoned, anyone could kill him as easily as turning over a hand. That way, that old man Bai and the rest will never suspect us master and disciple!" (To be continued)
