Chapter 8

Seeing Luo Fan fall for the trick, Li Mochou giggled coquettishly, "Luo boy, how does the taste of the Ice Soul Silver Needle feel?"

"You..." Luo Fan wanted to curse her for being despicable, but realized he had indeed been too careless. He shook his head and sighed, not responding. Li Mochou had used this trick of hiding a silver needle between her fingers before against Huang Rong. It was his own fault for being too complacent and forgetting about it!

However, from a modern person's perspective, Luo Fan had done quite well. After all, he had been a shut-in for nearly twenty years in modern society. Although he had always admired the swordsmen and martial arts in novels, in reality, he couldn't even kill a chicken. Suddenly becoming a legendary穿越者 (穿越者: time traveler) and obtaining powerful martial arts skills did not change his modern shut-in attributes, especially since he was still in his youthful and reckless years. It would be abnormal if he didn't act this way.

"Ha ha~" Li Mochou, seeing Luo Fan, who had just forced her into a corner, now in a bind, laughed so hard that her whole body shook. Her laughter was like silver bells, very pleasant to the ear, but Luo Fan, who was urgently suppressing the poison, had no mood to listen.

Li Mochou didn't expect this person, who had just been teasing her, to now be so quiet and uninteresting. She ignored him and turned to help Hong Lingbo leave.

"Am I going to die here today?" Luo Fan felt his consciousness becoming hazy and began to feel desperate.

"My goddess hasn't been pursued yet, my dreams haven't been realized! No! I can't die here!"

"No! There must be a way, I have to stay calm! I must stay calm!" Luo Fan forced himself to calm down, "Think carefully, I'm a time traveler, there must be a way!"

"Right, a time traveler, the system!" Luo Fan's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "System, is there a way to cure the Ice Soul Silver Needle poison on me?"

"With your current points, you can spend 150 points to exchange for a初级解毒丹 (初级解毒丹:初级 detox pill), which can effectively alleviate the poison in your body. Do you want to exchange?"

"Exchange!"

A green pill, the size of a soybean, emitting a fragrant herbal scent, immediately appeared in Luo Fan's hand. He quickly swallowed the pill, and as the medicine slowly took effect, Luo Fan felt much better.

"System, how long can this pill alleviate the poison in my body?"

"Three days. If you don't have the antidote after three days, you will still die from the poison."

"Three days? That's enough!" A fierce look flashed in Luo Fan's eyes.

At this moment, Li Mochou had not gone far. If it wasn't necessary, she didn't want to kill a Quanzhen disciple. First, the Quanzhen Sect had always shown mercy to her, and second, she wasn't stupid. Killing an important Quanzhen disciple would definitely attract the attention of Wang Chuyi, Qiu Chuji, and other experts among the Seven Disciples. If they couldn't catch her, even Guo Jing and Huang Rong might get involved, and she would be in serious trouble. She had only intended to punish Luo Fan for his earlier insolence, to humble him and vent her anger. Now that the matter was almost over, she started to use her lightness skill to return.

"Someone is coming!" Luo Fan, who had not yet fully recovered, felt someone approaching and was alarmed. He quickly looked up.

"It's Li Mochou?" Luo Fan immediately became wary, thinking, "What does she want? Never mind, I'm about to suppress the poison, and then I can capture her and force her to give me the antidote."

"Luo Fan boy, here's the antidote!" Li Mochou walked up to Luo Fan and placed a small porcelain bottle on the ground. At the same time, Luo Fan, using his full strength, suddenly attacked. Li Mochou felt a blur before her eyes, and her acupoints were immediately struck, and she was instantly restrained!

"Antidote?" Luo Fan picked up the small porcelain bottle, puzzled. He thought, "When did this cunning and vicious Li Mochou become so kind? Could it be that this girl has a crush on me?" Luo Fan thought to himself, but quickly dismissed the idea. After all, he had some self-awareness. If it wasn't because she liked him, why would she bring the antidote? Luo Fan couldn't figure it out, so he decided not to think about it and directly asked the restrained Li Mochou, "Fairy Li, is this really the antidote?"

Li Mochou, who had come to deliver the antidote out of kindness, was naturally not in a good mood after being restrained by this hateful white-clothed boy. She angrily said, "Since your poison is already cured, why are you asking so many questions?"

Luo Fan, though he didn't trust Li Mochou, knew he had to take a risk. Besides, he hadn't heard of Li Mochou carrying any other poisons besides the Ice Soul Silver Needle and the Five Poison Divine Palm. To be cautious, he asked the system in his mind, "System, if this bottle is poison, how long can the detox pill in my body suppress the poison with two poisons together?"

"Respected host, please don't doubt the quality of the system's items. If it says three days, it's three days. No matter how many poisons, it's still three days, absolutely fair to all!"

"Really that powerful?" Luo Fan quickly poured a small pill from the porcelain bottle and swallowed it. As the medicine took effect, Luo Fan felt the remaining poison was gone.

"Thank you, Fairy, for the medicine." Luo Fan sighed in relief, bowed to Li Mochou, and said, "I plan to travel in the martial world, and I will surely have many dealings with you in the future. I'll keep the remaining antidote."

Li Mochou, who didn't expect this boy to have only temporarily suppressed the Ice Soul Silver Needle's poison, felt a bit of goodwill towards him, despite her notorious reputation. However, thinking of how she had been restrained after delivering the antidote, her beautiful eyes still glared at Luo Fan.

To vent her anger, Li Mochou's eyes flickered, and she came up with another plan, smiling, "Luo boy, do you think taking this antidote will be enough? Although the Ice Soul Silver Needle's poison is cured, the pill also contains a lot of赤练之毒 (赤练之毒:赤练 poison) from my practice of the赤练神掌 (赤练神掌:赤练 Divine Palm). Without my unique method, it can't be cured."

"What?" Luo Fan was alarmed. Did she give him the antidote just to make him suffer from another poison? No, that would be crazy. He quickly asked the system, "System, am I still poisoned?"

"Respected host, you are now healthy and not poisoned."

Luo Fan immediately laughed, "Fairy Li, your conscience is really bad. You say a good antidote is poison, do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

"Don't disbelieve me. Feel two inches below your navel. Press it and see if there's anything unusual."

"Press your sister." Luo Fan laughed inwardly. With the system, how could you trick me? He sternly said to Li Mochou, "Fairy Li, I was going to let you go because of your kindness in bringing the antidote. I would have released your acupoints and let you go. But since you are still stubborn, you can stay here and reflect. Your acupoints will be released in two hours, and then you can leave."

Saying this, he searched Li Mochou for a moment, ignoring her almost shattered teeth, and found a small porcelain bottle labeled with the赤练神掌 (赤练神掌:赤练 Divine Palm) antidote. Luo Fan laughed and left, leaving Li Mochou alone, shouting, "Luo Fan, I will kill you!"

"Fairy, think about how to kill me first." Luo Fan laughed, "All the antidotes for your poison are in my hands!"

"..." In the martial world, the only person who could make Li Mochou speechless was probably Luo Fan. Li Mochou could only shake her head and sigh that this boy was indeed too cunning and deceitful.

On his way to Shaolin Temple, Luo Fan did many righteous deeds. It was a chaotic time, and there were many injustices. With his white clothes and upright character, he earned the nickname "Gentleman Sword" in the martial world.

When this nickname reached Luo Fan's ears, he was in tears. Damn, he even had the辟邪剑法 (辟邪剑法:辟邪 Sword Technique) in his hands. Was he destined to be a copy of Old Yue?

By now, Luo Fan had reached Luoyang. In the Tianxiang Tower, the table was full of delicious dishes. Luo Fan sipped wine and enjoyed the food, feeling very relaxed. Don't ask where the money came from. Robbing the rich to help the poor, he had collected a lot of wealth from the villains he had defeated, and he had also gained some luck points. So, he was not short of money.

"Wow, so fragrant!" Suddenly, a long-faced, bearded, rough-handed old beggar sat down opposite Luo Fan, sniffed the aroma of the dishes, and smiled at Luo Fan, "Young brother, so many dishes, can you finish them all? Let this old beggar help you eat some?"

"How can beggars enter the Tianxiang Tower?" Luo Fan was puzzled, his gaze falling on the old beggar's hand with one finger missing. "Nine fingers? Could it be..."

Luo Fan was shocked and thought it was fortunate he hadn't acted rudely just now. He quickly bowed and said, "If Old Master Hong is willing to grace me with your presence, I am honored!"

"Oh, you know me?" Hong Qigong looked at the seemingly ordinary white-clothed boy and asked. He hadn't been in the martial world for a long time and didn't expect this boy to recognize him at first glance.

Luo Fan knew that Hong Qigong was a free-spirited and unconstrained person. Acting pretentiously in front of him would only make him look down on him. So, he smiled and said, "A beggar who can eat at the Tianxiang Tower without being chased out by the owner can only be Old Master Hong."

"You boy." Hong Qigong smiled ambiguously but continued to eat and drink.

Luo Fan, seeing this, was not annoyed. He called the waiter to bring two large bowls and two more jars of good wine, and said to the feasting Hong Qigong, "I am Luo Fan, a newcomer to the martial world. It is a great honor to meet a hero like Old Master Hong. I will toast you first!"

Saying this, Luo Fan picked up a jar of fine daughter red wine, broke the mud seal, and a tempting aroma filled the air.

"Good wine, you are generous." The tempting aroma immediately aroused the wine bug in Hong Qigong's stomach. He picked up the large bowl filled with wine and said, "Cheers!"

"Cheers!"
