Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

Chapter 495: Chapter 487 Huoyun Ancestor_1

“This is completely fine. However, my abilities are limited, so I can only do my best,” Qin Niu readily agreed.

Helping others remove the fire poison not only allowed him to increase his mastery of the Medicine King Sutra but also enabled him to win people’s hearts, achieving two goals with one action.

But he was well aware of how unpredictable human nature could be.

If the removal of the fire poison was too easy, people’s gratitude towards him would surely diminish significantly.

It wasn’t that he was insincere, but rather that the social laws of this world naturally worked in this way.

“The fire poison is domineering and extremely difficult to tackle, which everyone is well aware of. When the time comes, brother Qin, save whoever you can. If it is beyond your capabilities, then we can only leave it to fate. I believe they would all understand,” Gongsun Jin said.

Having been tormented by the fire poison for more than half a month, Gongsun Jin naturally understood that it was not easy to deal with.

The fact that Qin Niu could help him clear out the fire poison from his body was already an unexpected joy.

“Brother Qin, saving lives is as urgent as putting out a fire, I must hurry back immediately. Until next time!”

Gongsun Jin, concerned about the warriors poisoned by the fire, promptly rose to leave upon hearing Qin Niu’s agreement.

“No matter the hurry, it won’t hurt to wait a moment longer! Have a meal at my house before you go,” Qin Niu urged him to stay.

“I’m carrying some dry food and beef jerky with me. I’ll visit brother Qin’s home to bother you some other time. Then, I’ll definitely accompany brother Qin for a good drink. With extraordinary skills and upright character, I believe you are destined to be a person of great influence in the future. Take care!”

Gongsun Jin now truly regarded Qin Niu as a friend of the same stature and bid farewell with a clasped hands salute before getting into the carriage and speeding away.

…

The next morning, Qin Niu was at home arranging work for his two attendants when several carriages arrived in haste.

It turned out that right after leaving the day before, Gongsun Jin had immediately sent a message via carrier bird to inform the other high-ranking members of the Black Tiger Gang and then arranged for a group of warriors afflicted with the fire poison to come for treatment as a priority.

They bore the agonizing pain of the fire poison and rushed through the night, hoping for an early recovery.

There were a total of twenty-one people, including five Spirit Qi Realm experts and sixteen Innate Realm experts. All of them were afflicted with fire poison, with four of them hanging by a thread.

These individuals were either middle or high-ranking members of the Black Tiger Gang or masters from influential families.

Qin Niu naturally prioritized the rescue of the four most severely injured warriors.

All of them had the fire poison invading their internal organs. One of them, a boy of only seventeen or eighteen, had a body burning hot, with his clothes having been scorched away. His entire body was red and covered with blisters of various sizes, and his breath was extremely weak.

Had it not been for Qin Niu’s ability to extract the fire poison, the boy would have been doomed.

After a concerted effort in treatment, this Young Master Ye from a great family of Black Tiger City was fortunate to have his life saved.

Having rescued four people by midday and completely removed the fire poison from their bodies, Qin Niu was quite exhausted. Fortunately, the payoff was quite good, for his mastery of the Medicine King Sutra had considerably increased.

Moreover, by saving four lives, his merit was immeasurable.

Over the next three days, he continuously took action to save people, helping them to extract the fire poison.

Young Master Ye, whose actual name was Ye Jinglei, had the fire poison removed from his body, and after three days of rest, was largely recovered. When he arrived, he had to be carried into the house by the experts of the Ye Family from the carriage.

He was in a semi-comatose state, with his eyes tightly closed, an expression of pain, unable to eat or make any sound.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He was completely a picture of someone at death’s door.

Now, Young Master Ye could walk, eat, and use the toilet on his own, no longer requiring the care of others.

The few people from the Ye Family who had come along breathed a huge sigh of relief as they saw Young Master Ye turning from danger to safety.

“Master Qin, the great kindness of saving a life will never be forgotten by the Ye Family. My son’s revival owes much to your intervention in removing the fire poison from him. If anything had happened to Jinglei, there would have been a significant shift in the destiny of the Ye Family. He is the most outstanding man in the younger generation of my family, and I had intended for him to gain experience on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, he lacked combat experience and fell into a trap during a clash with a strong member of the Nine Insect Gang.

Their methods of attack are extremely special; they can release fire poison not only with their punches and palm strikes but also through their weapons.

At that time, my son was fighting against two Innate Realm experts from the Nine Insect Gang and was gaining the upper hand.

However, those two resorted to deceit. As one fought fiercely against my son, the other took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. My son defended against the enemy’s attacks with his dual swords, and just then, the opponent’s fire poison travelled up the blade, making its way into my son’s body.

When Master Qin confronts the remnants of the Nine Insect Gang, please be exceedingly cautious.

From their way of attacking, their behavior, and the ornaments they wear, it’s almost certain that they come from Fire Cloud Tunnel. The Huoyun Ancestor made a name for himself in a battle where, within three days, he slaughtered four gangs, and even the Immortal Masters sent by the Immortal Sect to mediate had to keep their distance.

After the intervention and mediation by the Immortal Sect, Fire Cloud Tunnel ceased external expansion, and the Huoyun Ancestor has been in seclusion and has not appeared since then.

Due to the Huoyun Ancestor’s extreme ruthlessness, more vicious and merciless than tigers or wolves, people secretly referred to him as the Huoyun Evil Deity.

After so many years of accumulation, the strength of Fire Cloud Tunnel has become even more formidable.

Lying dormant for so many years, the sudden deployment of experts from Fire Cloud Tunnel to assist the Nine Insect Gang, particularly during the Hundred-Tempering Child’s centennial life and death tribulation, indicates that their ambitions are far from small.

I’m afraid it is much more complicated than just annexing one or two gangs.

Although our Black Tiger Gang has also built some strength over the years, when compared with a super gang like Fire Cloud Tunnel, we are still quite far behind.

Alas, during the last tribulation of the Hundred-Tempering Child, a total of thirty-seven gangs vanished. This time, with the stirring of dragons and snakes, numerous powerful figures are itching for action, and we are likely to face another dark three years. Master Qin, you might want to make more preparations to increase your chances of survival when the crisis hits.”

Filled with gratitude, Ye Jinglei’s father shared many state secrets known only to a few high-ranking members.

What shocked Qin Niu the most was the super gang, Fire Cloud Tunnel.

The number of gangs within the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect should exceed one thousand.

Some gangs are stronger than others.

However, as long as one can establish a gang, even the weakest cannot be underestimated.

The witch from the Nine Insect Gang is truly daring; to deal with the Black Tiger Gang, she actually colluded with Fire Cloud Tunnel.

When the time comes, it will probably be easy to invite the devil in but hard to send it away, and the Nine Insect Gang could well follow in the footsteps of the Shennong Sect.

Throughout history, it is rare for women to become emperors, and there are reasons for this.

Once a woman goes mad, she indeed becomes reckless without regard for the consequences.

“Alright, Jinglei’s condition has significantly improved after three days of rest, and we plan to return to Black Tiger City today. We are grateful for the hospitality of Master Qin these past few dates. Should Master Qin visit Black Tiger City, you are welcome to be a guest at the Ye Residence any time.”

“Elder Ye is too kind. I only have simple tea and meals and a modest abode to offer, and if my reception was inadequate, I ask for your understanding. Should the opportunity arise, I will certainly visit the Ye Residence.”

Qin Niu stood up to see them off.

As he watched the two carriages from the Ye Family speed away, his network expanded once more.
