Chapter 49

**Update Time: April 22, 2013**

From the height of a person on this wall, downward, within a two-meter-wide range around the wooden box, countless needle holes densely covered the area. Through the needle holes, the silver tips of the steel needles, deeply embedded in the wall, could be seen.

A porcelain bottle very close to Yun Mo also showed needle holes and cracks, demonstrating the incredible penetration power of the steel needles!

More than twenty needles struck Yun Mo, to be precise, they struck the bag on his back filled with tools!

The needle shooting had stopped, but the aftereffects remained!

Ah! Yun Mo spat out a large mouthful of black blood, his front stained with an eerie dark black!

His eyes were filled with blood, containing overwhelming anger, self-mockery, and more importantly, a killing intent!

Ah! He let out a low, painful howl, like an injured tiger, his whole body trembling violently!

It seemed a breeze blew by, and Yun Mo's eyelashes trembled. Suddenly, he felt incredibly foolish, "Pitying the enemy is digging your own grave." This saying from his previous life appeared in his mind, filling his heart with hatred!

Eight thin streams of black blood shot out like arrows. He turned his head to look at the wounds on his shoulders, pierced by the steel needles, and then at the two steel needles that had penetrated his calf, half of them still embedded in his leg bones, their tails trembling!

The black blood on them almost made him go berserk!

He gripped the tails of the steel needles fiercely and pulled them out! Then, he unfastened the bag on his back, looking at the dozens of steel needles stuck in it, and smiled coldly!

Unfastening the bag, he saw the needle tips piercing through the two layers of metal on the bomb, realizing that his back must have countless such wounds!

As the bag was removed, more wounds appeared on his back, and more thin streams of black blood spurted out, gradually becoming thinner and thinner until they finally stopped!

The pill was still taking effect!

Smelling the dizzying fragrance on the needle tips, Yun Mo frowned. He had forgotten to prepare the antidote! This was a huge oversight, "I'm still a rookie in the cultivation world, focusing only on attacking and forgetting to defend!"

Yun Mo cursed himself for being careless. He knew what this highly toxic substance was—it was the deadly Heavenly Net Powder, which could kill with a single drop of blood!

Heavenly Net referred to the great immortals of the heavens, even they would die from this poison, showing how powerful it was!

Yun Mo knew how to prepare this highly toxic substance; in a crystal bottle in the cave, there was Heavenly Net Powder!

He never expected that this world also had experts who could prepare such a mixed poison, so he had been lazy about preparing the antidote. Now, because of this laziness, he was in the greatest danger!

He had managed to survive until now for two reasons: mainly because the Pulse Continuation Pill given by Ying Ying had neutralized some of the toxicity and delayed his death; secondly, he had been exposed to the materials used to prepare the poison, giving his body some resistance. The combination of these two factors had kept him alive, but he would still die within three minutes!

"What should I do?" Yun Mo's mind raced, and he made a decision.

Boom! A blood-red lightning bolt seemed to streak across the sky outside, the rain becoming even more violent, as if the heavens knew Yun Mo was at the brink of life and death, and were expressing their anger!

The thunder almost knocked Yun Mo to the floor!

His expression was extremely haggard, but his eyes were filled with determination. Knowing time was short, he quickly rummaged through his bag. After a few moments, he found a palm-sized wooden box. Opening it, he saw dozens of silver needles of various lengths inside.

These silver needles could be used to kill, but they could also save lives!

Yun Mo picked out a 10-centimeter-long silver needle and inserted it into the Juque point, six inches above his navel!

Puff! As the silver needle penetrated half an inch, Yun Mo's heart was jolted, and his blood circulation accelerated. Intense pain swept through his body.

Yun Mo dared not delay, almost grinding his teeth to dust, and his hands moved like the wind, inserting the silver needles into points like Guitail, Renying, Fengchi, Renzhong, Ermen, Taiyang, and more, a total of over twenty vital points! Using the detoxification technique he had learned, he endured the excruciating pain that felt like being torn into countless pieces, and began to forcefully expel the poison!

This detoxification method was called the Reversal Needle Technique, an evil art Yun Mo had learned from a strange person in his previous life!

It was called evil because, although it could forcefully expel the poison, it greatly shortened one's lifespan! No matter how long a person was supposed to live, they would only have one year left after using this technique! Yun Mo was now eight and a half years old, meaning he would die at nine and a half! This was truly a desperate measure, a last resort when all else failed!

"Lin Meier, you are good, very good!" Yun Mo roared in his heart, his eyes bloodshot!

As his inner strength circulated, streams of black blood were forced out of the wounds and splattered onto the floor, corroding holes in it!

Gradually, red blood appeared! Yun Mo quickly removed the silver needles and sealed the acupoints at the wounds. The Pulse Continuation Pill, no longer hindered by the poison, took effect immediately. Soon, Yun Mo's injuries began to heal rapidly!

The threat of death was gone! Yun Mo felt weak but could move without major issues. However, he knew he only had one year left to live!

Yun Mo, looking extremely disheveled, climbed up from the messy floor, feeling a sense of relief. "Even with only one year left, there's nothing to fear!" This was the world of cultivators. Without mentioning other things, just breaking through to the Fifth Level of Heavenly Favor would add ten years to one's life! The Sixth Level added thirty years, and breaking through to Heavenly Punishment added a hundred years! So Yun Mo was not despairing; he was only disillusioned with human nature!

"Good people don't live long, but evil people last a thousand years. The ancestors' words are absolutely correct!" Yun Mo muttered. He felt a glimmer of hope, looking at the beads that had returned to their original state, his clothes drenched in cold sweat!

"If I hadn't advanced to the Fourth Level of Heavenly Favor, making my body react faster and able to make the right moves in time.

"If the things on my back weren't all made of metal, the steel needles wouldn't have been able to penetrate completely and reach my internal organs.

"If I weren't only eight years old, with a small body and a relatively large bag that blocked the main areas.

"If I didn't know the Reversal Needle Technique, if Ying Ying hadn't given me that pill...?"

There were too many "ifs." If any one of these had gone wrong, he would have died without a trace today!

"Ying Ying, thank you!" Yun Mo howled in his heart. Feeling his mobility returning, he knew the pill had taken the greatest effect, "If my body was injured and unable to move, in the Gongsun Manor, where experts are everywhere and every step is fraught with danger, I would be unable to move at all!"

Looking at the blood-soaked storage belt, Yun Mo knew he had completed the blood recognition. A mysterious feeling in his mind confirmed the connection!

He walked over and fastened the belt, which no longer emitted spatial fluctuations, around his waist!

Then, with a thought, he saw a gray, misty space about ten meters long and wide in his spirit sea!

"The space isn't very large, but at least the bombs and other items take up less space, so it can still serve as a mobile arsenal!" Yun Mo grumbled, somewhat dissatisfied. "I sacrificed so much of my lifespan for this thing!" Of course, he hoped the space would be larger.

This was a bit greedy of him! Even such a small storage belt was invaluable, and he was still unsatisfied. If cultivators without such magical artifacts heard this, they would surely curse him!

Looking at the scattered items on the floor, Yun Mo had a thought, and an invisible wave covered the items! They then magically disappeared from Yun Mo's sight, clearly visible in the storage belt's space in his spirit sea!

Yun Mo was delighted. Following his thoughts, daggers, bombs, grappling hooks, Luoyang shovels, and other strange objects appeared and disappeared in his palm!

He was like a child with a new toy, playing happily for a while!

Looking at the messy floor, Yun Mo's eyes showed contemplation.

"I can't leave my blood behind; who knows if someone can determine my identity from it?" Yun Mo no longer dared to underestimate the means of the cultivators in this world.

He took out a dagger coated with bone-dissolving liquid and touched all the places with bloodstains. The blood turned into water and slowly seeped into the floor. Only then did Yun Mo feel relieved.

As for the remaining traces of the traps, Yun Mo couldn't restore them to their original state, "Whatever!" He grumbled impatiently, turning to look at the bathroom. A flash of ferocity appeared in his eyes, and he walked over with the dagger in hand!

With a creak, Yun Mo pushed open the bathroom door. A pair of eyes as calm as lake water looked at the naked woman struggling to crawl inside!

After Yun Mo's detoxification efforts, the effects of the bone-softening powder began to wear off, and Lin Meier had regained some strength to move. So when she heard footsteps, she crawled in fear!

"Why, why is he still alive? The hidden weapon was coated with a deadly poison, the activation mechanism was terrifying, and the speed was unmatched. He couldn't possibly have dodged it. How is he still alive? Heaven, do you really want me to die? I don't want to die!" She screamed in her heart, but no one could hear her!

She was exhausted and couldn't crawl anymore. Turning her head to look at Yun Mo approaching, her voice became more coherent, and she pleaded, "Little brother, I was wrong, I know I was... wrong. Please forgive me. I'm still young, so I made a mistake. It's okay that you haven't grown up yet; I have ways to bring you happiness! Please forgive me this... one time!" As she spoke, she slowly spread her legs, exposing her most alluring parts to Yun Mo, her face showing a seductive expression, looking extremely sexy!

Yun Mo just looked, not averting his gaze. He smiled at the tempting scene and then squatted down, reaching out to touch the woman's intimate area!

Ah! The woman moaned at the right moment, then swayed her waist, hoping Yun Mo would be more intense! "Only if he is moved can I survive, right?"

Yun Mo slowly touched, then moved upward, and to the woman's surprise, he began to fondle her breasts!
