Chapter 28

Luo Xia Valley places great importance on respecting teachers and valuing the way. Although this cultivation technique was not personally taught by Elder Wu, Qin Fengming was extremely grateful to the elder.

"Fengming, there's no need to be modest. In our sect, over the past few hundred years, countless talented individuals have tried to grasp the essence of this technique, but none have achieved any results in their entire lives. Your success in cultivation clearly shows that your talent is several times greater than others."

Hearing Elder Wu's sincere praise, Qin Fengming did not feel a trace of arrogance.

Seeing the respectful young man before him, Elder Wu was also greatly impressed. Those talented disciples, each one of them was arrogant, but the young man before him was very calm.

"Ah, I almost forgot why I came here. The small items you asked me to help forge are now complete, and I have brought them specially for you."

"Ah, really? Thank you very much, Elder Wu." Hearing this, Qin Fengming immediately bowed with joy, even more excited than before.

Taking the cloth bag from Elder Wu, Qin Fengming appeared very excited.

After seeing Elder Wu off, Qin Fengming quickly returned to his room and hastily poured the contents of the bag onto the bed.

Looking at the dozens of small, finely crafted iron parts on the bed, Qin Fengming's eyes sparkled.

According to the drawings he had made himself, he carefully compared and organized the parts, finding that all of them matched the drawings perfectly. Seeing this, Qin Fengming finally felt relieved.

The original "Mechanism Details" had been returned to Wangyue Peak, so he could only rely on his memory to assemble the Cold Star projectile.

Sitting cross-legged on a wooden chair, Qin Fengming closed his eyes and quickly recalled the assembly steps of the Cold Star projectile. After a meal's time, he began to assemble it.

An hour later, a small black box appeared before Qin Fengming.

The box was palm-sized, with five holes the size of soybeans on the front cover, and two small ear holes on each side. There was a small hole on the left side.

Qin Fengming knew that the small holes on the left and right were for fixing, while the small hole on the left was for connecting the trigger mechanism. He connected the trigger mechanism with a tough silk thread, leading it out of the box through the small hole.

Looking at the Cold Star projectile in his hand, Qin Fengming felt very excited. He carefully took out five Heart-Seeking Nails and placed them in the five recesses inside the box, then carefully closed the lid.

He then picked up the box, aimed the small hole at the opposite bamboo wall, and pulled the silk thread with his right hand.

"Snap"

With a crisp sound, five cold flashes shot past, and almost simultaneously, a "thud" was heard from the bamboo wall. Five small holes in a cross shape appeared on the bamboo wall.

Touching the five holes that had penetrated the wall, Qin Fengming felt very happy.

The power of this "Cold Star" projectile exceeded his expectations. It could penetrate a bamboo wall, and if it hit a person, it would definitely enter their body. Even martial arts experts who practiced body-strengthening techniques would likely suffer some injuries.

Finding some thin ropes, Qin Fengming followed the instructions in "Mechanism Details" to fix the "Cold Star" to his chest and tied the silk thread connected to the mechanism to his left arm.

After repeated experiments, he continuously adjusted the length of the silk thread and its position on his left arm. After more than an hour of practice, he finally adjusted the position of the silk thread perfectly.

In the following days, Qin Fengming repeatedly tested the "Cold Star" projectile, finally mastering it to the point where he could use it at will.

After several days of testing, Qin Fengming realized that although the projectile was very sharp, its killing power was extremely limited. If it did not hit a vital spot, it would be difficult to kill or capture the opponent in one strike.

To solve this problem, the only way was to coat the Heart-Seeking Nails with a powerful poison.

Thinking of this, Qin Fengming did not delay and appeared before Elder Wu again.

"Hehe, to come so quickly, are you looking for some powerful poison from me?"

Seeing Qin Fengming come before him again, Elder Wu chuckled and said with a smile. With his knowledge, he naturally knew the flaw of the projectile he had given to the young man.

"Ah, Elder, you have already figured it out. Yes, I am here to find a powerful poison, but one that can make a person lose their resistance upon contact, without causing serious harm to their life."

Seeing that Elder Wu already knew his purpose, Qin Fengming was secretly impressed and admitted it frankly.

"Poisons that can kill upon contact, I have them, but the one you described requires careful consideration."

With a thoughtful expression, Elder Wu began to ponder.

After a tea's time, he suddenly slapped his head and said with surprise:

"Haha, I have thought of something that roughly fits your description. Our sect has a drug called Ma Shen San. As long as it comes into contact with a person's blood, it will immediately make them weak and unable to move.

However, the effect of Ma Shen San is very short. The victim does not need any antidote and can recover in a tea's time. For martial arts experts, it takes only a moment to recover, and for those with deep cultivation, it might take just one or two breaths to resolve."

Hearing Elder Wu's words, Qin Fengming quickly thought.

Although this drug can be resolved by martial arts experts in a moment, with the Biyun Mizon technique, he could reach the opponent in an instant, and whether to kill or capture, he could definitely control the opponent.

"This drug is exactly what Fengming needs, but I wonder if Elder can obtain it?"

"Ma Shen San can be prepared by our sect's Hall Master Guo. I will go find him, and it shouldn't be a problem. In two days, I will hand it over to you."

Two days later at noon, Qin Fengming received the Ma Shen San from Elder Wu as scheduled.

After explaining the usage method to Qin Fengming, Elder Wu turned and left.

Following a certain ratio, Qin Fengming mixed the Ma Shen San into some clear water, stirred it evenly, and then placed all the Heart-Seeking Nails into the mixture.

After soaking for an hour, Qin Fengming used chopsticks to take out the Heart-Seeking Nails one by one, dried them, and carefully placed them in a leather bag. He then carefully placed five Heart-Seeking Nails into the "Cold Star" and eagerly headed into the deep forest.

His figure quickly moved through the mountains, and soon he found a mountain rabbit.

Looking at the mountain rabbit, Qin Fengming silently prayed: "I'm sorry, but to test this projectile, you will have to serve as a target."

With a light click from the mechanism, the mountain rabbit, which was chewing on grass, immediately fell over, its body limp and boneless.

After a meal's time, the mountain rabbit finally managed to flip over and clumsily jump into a pile of stones, disappearing from sight.
