Chapter 111: Superhumans from Science City
All the turmoil of the Mystic Azure Realm had now become fleeting smoke in the wind.
Chu Xuan reclined leisurely on a soft velvet chaise lounge. The "Venom Scripture" floated before him, turning its pages without any wind.
Chu Xuan's right hand moved ceaselessly, various poison powders swirling out inadvertently.
The poisons within the "Venom Scripture" could harm cultivators in various ways. Some could damage the soul, others could cause bleeding from the throat, some could hinder Spiritual Qi, and others could drive one into a bloodthirsty frenzy.
However, at the Foundation Establishment level, with the protection of Spiritual Qi shields, it was difficult for poison powders to infiltrate through the mouth or nose. So Chu Xuan was currently studying the art of poisoning silently and stealthily.
As long as the opponent didn't notice his poisoning, there would be no need to trigger their Spiritual Qi defenses. Even if these poisons couldn't kill the opponent, as long as they had some effect, it could give him a stable advantage in battle.
"For now, I can't return to Mystic Azure Realm. I might as well cultivate the necessary materials for refining poisons in the Zombie Farm myself."
Chu Xuan snapped his fingers, and the Purifying Corpse respectfully growled lowly, taking the spirit plant seeds from the storage bag and diligently cultivating them.
Although this Purifying Corpse wasn't talented in spells, for some reason, it was quite intelligent. It quickly learned many things, including cultivation. Just by watching Chu Xuan operate a few times, it perfectly replicates it.
Chu Xuan entrusted this task entirely to it. The feeling of not needing to personally handle everything was truly wonderful.
Next, Chu Xuan frequently shuttled between the Soul-Capturing Evil-Nurturing Array and the Haotai Hotel.
Absorbing Yin Evil Qi, refining the Large Blood Pearls, and perusing ancient texts. Doing everything simultaneously and making steady progress.
Chu Xuan found that his merit might actually enhance his comprehension. Otherwise, it couldn't explain why he was mastering the art of poisons at an increasingly rapid pace.N/nêw n0vel chap/ers are published o/n n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

Half a month later, the intelligence from Black Blade was once again laid out before him. The main contents were mostly the same, detailing situations from various regions. Just the expansion of supernatural beings' territories. And conflicts erupting between different forces.
However, what surprised Chu Xuan somewhat was that the Science City, rising in the north of Han Country, had already begun to encircle and annihilate the Zombie Empress, seemingly gaining a significant advantage.
But it was only a slight surprise. No matter how powerful the Science City was, it was still formidable only in the eyes of the humans of this planet. In his view, it was akin to a small sect formed by Qi Refining cultivators. Even the small sects in the Kingdom of Yu with Foundation Establishment cultivators were far inferior.
Chu Xuan continued to read and soon came to the last item.
"Two superhumans sent by the Science City found us and hoped to invite the Immortal to join the Science City. I, on behalf of the Immortal, declined their invitation. - Wang Gangjian."
There were two people in the Jeep. They had spotted He Shengliang and the thick black mist roiling ahead of him!
He Shengliang glanced deeply at the two, then without hesitation, charged into the black mist!
Screech.
The speeding Jeep abruptly halted, leaving an unsightly trail. Two Superhumans jumped out of the vehicle. One man and one woman. The man on the left was burly, with knotted muscles.
Both wore blue and white uniforms. On their chests was an emblem depicting a city illuminated by stars. It signified that both were Superhumans of the Science City. Without the stars, they would just be ordinary members of the Science City.
At this moment, both stared uncertainly at the area enveloped in black mist.
The burly man spoke gravely, "This place is eerie. That kid rushed in and might very well die. Xiaomei, what do you think? Should we report to headquarters that the kid is dead?"
The woman licked her lips, "No, the headquarters' orders were clear—'alive we need to see the person, dead we need to see the body.' How can we report without a body? I actually find this place rather pleasant; it feels quite comfortable to me."
The burly man was startled, then exclaimed with delight, "You mean... there's negative energy in the black mist?"
The woman nodded vigorously, "Such pure negative energy, I've never seen it before. I'll try it first. If I can absorb it, that means we can go in and capture that kid."
With that, she approached the edge of the black mist and extended her hands. In her palms, two swirling vortexes moved slowly.
Crackle.
The black mist was slowly absorbed into her body. In an instant, the woman felt a sensation of floating on air. She felt her power expanding rapidly.
Level 5? Level 6? Level 7?
She didn't know. All she knew was that, at this moment, she felt transcendent, as if she had surpassed the universe!
"You... you!" came the frightened shout of the burly man.
"What's wrong?"
The woman tried to speak but realized the sound that came out was no longer human. She looked down and was shocked to see her body had inflated into a sphere. And then, like a balloon filled to its limit with air...
Exploded!
