Chapter 41

"After all, she comes from a Mystic-level force. Regardless of other things, her knowledge must be far superior to ours. She has never shown her true strength, and perhaps our strength is just a joke in front of her." Qi Tian said with a hint of self-mockery.

"Yes, even the Master can't see through her. I really don't understand why she would come to the Green Cloud Sword Sect; it's really confusing." Zhao Zhiyin looked at Qin Shuang, who was standing still on the side, and also expressed his confusion.

Bu Zheng listened without forming any thoughts about Qin Shuang. It wasn't just because he "had" a wife, but mainly because he knew the gap between a Mystic-level force and himself. He would be lucky to enter a Yellow-level force in his lifetime, and a Mystic-level force was something he dared not even dream of.

At this moment, he didn't speculate about what kind of forces his two wives belonged to. If he did, he would conclude that he would never see them again in his life.

However, because he had interacted with them and considered them his wives, he didn't think much about it. People are like that; they often overlook what is right in front of them.

"Green Cloud Shocking Heaven!"

Bu Haifeng struck again, and with this move, he clearly felt the scorpion retreating, not ignoring any attacks as it did before. The "Green Cloud Shocking Heaven" technique emphasized the "shock" principle.

"Right, use shock, everyone use shock attacks!" Bu Haifeng immediately called out and performed one shock sword technique after another.

With Bu Haifeng's reminder, the other new disciples understood this principle. They began to circle around the Tyrant Scorpion, using the shock sword technique repeatedly, forcing the scorpion to retreat step by step.

"Not bad, you understood this principle so quickly. The real enemy is not a wooden post; you need to understand the enemy's characteristics, find their weaknesses, and attack them. Some enemies may seem invincible, but there are always ways to deal with them." Chu Xiong smiled, very satisfied with his junior brother from the same peak, after all, they were both from Green Ox Peak.

"This Tyrant Scorpion is a great choice for training. They are lucky. The Tyrant Scorpion's biggest feature is its thick skin and great strength, but its speed is not very fast, and its poison only works if it stings you." At this moment, Zhao Zhiyin brought Bu Zheng to Chu Xiong's side, and heard Qiu Yue say this.

"Is this Tyrant Scorpion's tail also a venom sac like a regular scorpion?" Bu Zheng looked at the Tyrant Scorpion with bright eyes. If this thing was a demonic beast, it would mean that the tail was even more valuable.

"Yes, if you want it, I'll give you the venom sac. The most important part of the Tyrant Scorpion is its hard shell, which is excellent material for forging. As for the venom sac, other demonic scorpions are much stronger, and the Tyrant Scorpion's is relatively ordinary." Chu Xiong nodded, the Tyrant Scorpion's demonic transformation focused on its hard shell, not its venom.

However, the Tyrant Scorpion's large size meant its venom sac was also larger, and this venom sac was worth a lot of money. Bu Zheng was very happy to receive it and immediately went to get it.

"..."

Chu Xiong and the others watched Bu Zheng run over and were speechless. Although they said they would give it to him, they meant after they had divided everything. He was too eager.

However, Chu Xiong didn't think Bu Zheng could take anything away. The scorpion's hard shell was impossible to cut without their help, and it required a lucky strike to sever it.

But the next moment, Chu Xiong was stunned...

"Wow, it's so big! This time we're rich!"

Bu Zheng took out a dagger and, ignoring the puzzled looks of the new disciples, used the dagger to cut open the scorpion's tail and extract the venom sac, drooling as he did so.

"Really?"

Chu Xiong and the others were stunned for a moment, then all rushed to Bu Zheng's side.

"Junior Brother..."

"Senior Brother Chu, you're not going back on your word, are you?" Bu Zheng's beautiful expression vanished, and he looked a bit like a bitter gourd, as the scene before him made him think that Senior Brother Chu was going back on his word and wanted the venom sac from him.

"Going back on my word? No, I said I would give it to you, so I will. It's useless to us, at most we can sell it for some money. It's better for you to use it for alchemy, and then you can give me some of the elixirs at a discount." Senior Brother Chu shook his head and smiled bitterly. Was he the kind of person who would go back on his word?

"That's no problem, you scared me to death. I thought you were going back on your word. No problem, I'll give you some elixirs for free at the right price." Bu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.

Then, he continued, "What are you all doing here?"

"Can I see your dagger?" Senior Brother Chu looked at the dagger in Bu Zheng's hand, which didn't seem like anything special, and wanted to examine it closely. If it wasn't a good thing, how could it easily cut through the scorpion's hard shell?

"Sure, what's there to see?" Bu Zheng casually handed the dagger to Chu Xiong.

Chu Xiong took the dagger and examined it, but couldn't find anything unusual about it. It was just a very ordinary dagger, albeit quite sharp, but not sharp enough to cut through the scorpion's hard shell. What was going on?

"Hmm, this scorpion's shell isn't damaged, it seems to be intact." At this moment, Qiu Yue saw the hard shell Bu Zheng had cut and noticed that there was no damage, meaning Bu Zheng hadn't cut through the hard shell to get the venom sac.

"Ah, I see. You cut the joints of the hard shell, which are slightly weaker. But how did you know to cut these places?" Chu Xiong also noticed this, but now he was even more puzzled, as this was more surprising than cutting through the hard shell directly.

Chu Xiong and the others couldn't cut the scorpion's hard shell intact because they couldn't find the right place to cut. They could only use their internal energy to cut through less important areas, minimizing damage to get the hard shell. If they used Bu Zheng's method, they could get it without any damage.

"What's the big deal? I've dissected many scorpions, and this one isn't much different." Bu Zheng replied nonchalantly.

"..."

This was a reason, but Bu Zheng didn't mention that he had dissected not just scorpions but also various other animals, all normal ones, not demonic beasts. He often caught these things in the mountains while gathering herbs and turned them into food...

Just as everyone was stunned, they saw something that made their jaws drop. They saw Bu Zheng actually poke a bit of the venom sac's poison and put it in his mouth...

"Bu Zheng..."

"Junior Brother..."

"Ah..."

What was he doing? Was he trying to commit suicide? This was scorpion venom, something others would avoid at all costs, and he put it in his mouth.
