Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 514 - 503: Departure to Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak

Chapter 514: Chapter 503: Departure to Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak

The Carp Demon below watched Yu Jiu dealing with a clam spirit with both hands, although he did not show any expression on the surface, and even appeared to be flattering, he felt a bit speechless inside.

He talks the talk, claiming he’s disdainful of enjoyment, but ever since Yu Jiu arrived at his underwater palace, he’s been excessively greedy.

Not only does he demand fresh blood food, but he’s also taken some treasures from him.

Even the various female water demons in the water have been toyed with by Yu Jiu, a different one each day.

But the Carp Demon knows very well that even if Yu Jiu acts even more recklessly, he wouldn’t dare defy him in the slightest.

After all, Yu Jiu is under the command of the Seven-Colored Fish Sect, and his cultivation has reached Shattering Void Realm Perfection.

On this riverbed, he’s considered the strongest.

Whether it’s the Seven-Colored Fish Sect behind him or his own strength, the Carp Demon can only do his best to accommodate him.

Yu Jiu at this moment had already reached into the clam spirit’s clothes, fumbling around, squinting his eyes: "Enjoyment aside, how’s the task I assigned you going? Since you are able to return today, there must be results, quickly inform me of the killer who murdered the Catfish Demon."

Indeed, he thoroughly enjoys the taste of life at the bottom of this water, but he’s also very aware that he is here to execute a mission.

If the Black Market’s task is not completed, he will certainly be punished upon returning.

Thus, first finding out who killed the Catfish Demon is crucial.

If he could return with the culprit’s head, at least he could offset his faults.

Moreover, having enjoyed so much here, it’s definitely profitable.

Hearing this, the Carp Demon immediately bow his head down and spoke loudly: "This humble demon contacted aquatic creatures connected to the Seven-Colored Fish Sect, searched tirelessly through the night for clues, and finally confirmed who killed the Catfish Demon."

Yu Jiu nodded: "Speak in detail."

The Carp Demon then commented: "According to what I know, the one who killed the Catfish Demon was a Tong Daoshuai, this person is named Qin An, a newly appointed Tong Daoshuai of Sky Cloud Dao from Xunyang Prefecture."

"Xunyang Prefecture?" A cold light flashed through Yu Jiu’s eyes as he heard these three words: "Such a mountainous and remote place, yet someone can walk out from there, it truly makes him a character, but it also suggests that he lacks any backing."

Carp Demon quickly added: "My lord must not underestimate him. Although his background is simple, his strength is not low. What I know of the Catfish Brother, with his slippery and sticky skin, ordinary attacks would deviate upon encountering him."

"Even opponents of the same level would gain no advantage fighting him, yet he was killed by this country boy, there must be some peculiar reasons."

Hearing this, Yu Jiu drained the bloody food from his goblet, placed it on the armrest of the throne, planted a kiss on the clam spirit, and waved carelessly: "Even if the Catfish Demon is unique, he’s nothing more than a water demon on land. He gained little from the Seven-Colored Fish Sect, his foundation is weak, so being killed is normal."

"I think you may be overly cautious."

The Carp Demon dared not argue, only kept agreeing.

Yu Jiu, playing with the beauty inside the clam spirit’s clothes, contemplated for a moment: "Now that it’s clear who is responsible, think of a way to obtain his head, do you have any strategy?"

"Rest assured, if his head is obtained, the rewards will be plentiful."

Now that the culprit is clear, Yu Jiu does not intend to return to the Seven-Colored Fish Sect to hand over this information.

Because in his view, wanting to offset his sins, providing mere intelligence is far from enough.

So rather directly, taking Qin An’s head back would absolve him of this time’s fault.

Upon hearing this, the Carp Demon showed even more of his flattering expression.

He cautiously approached Yu Jiu’s feet, looked up and said: "This humble demon has heard news that recently Qin An seems to be going to Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak, the place is shrouded in toxic mist and difficult to handle, but we can wait until Qin An comes out of Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak before taking action."

Upon hearing Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak, a trace of fear appeared on Yu Jiu’s face.

It’s truly a bizarre place.

Not just him, even the Sect Leader of Seven-Colored Fish Sect dares not delve too deeply.

"Alright, since that’s the case, then wait until he comes out, but before he does, devise a detailed plan."

"Certainly, I also hope he survives from inside."

Although Yu Jiu does not know why Qin An wants to go to Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak, he knows very well that the dangers within are extremely terrifying.

Ironically, he actually hopes Qin An doesn’t die inside.

Because only when Qin An emerges alive does Yu Jiu have the chance to end Qin An’s life by his own hands.

Carp Demon quickly agreed, then said no more, signaling to the nearby demon.

The demon immediately understood, then quietly exited the room.

Quickly, the demon walked in again.

In the demon’s hands, each held a human woman.

The women had a hint of misery on their faces.

The demon tossed the two women onto the ground.

Only then did the Carp Demon continue: "Lord Yu, these female water demons in the water are actually quite meaningless, perhaps my lord would like to taste these two human women?"

Upon seeing the situation, Yu Jiu showed great delight, patting the Carp Demon’s head: "You kid are very sensible, I’m quite satisfied, once I kill Qin An, I’ll certainly praise your merits to the Sect Leader back home, and you’ll be granted more treasures."

The Carp Demon joyfully echoed, not daring to say more.

Yu Jiu then waved his sleeve, a stream of water enveloped the two women, bringing them close.

Very soon, screams echoed continuously in the room. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

...

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

During these three days, the Evil Extermination Bureau operated according to the usual routine.

Meanwhile, Qin An hardly stepped away from home.

Every day focused on honing the skills of a dancer profession.

Today was supposed to be another day of practice, but yesterday, Wu Yunfeng sent someone to inform Qin An that today is the day to set off to Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak, hence he did not continue practicing dancer skills.

Qin An got up and went to the street outside, had breakfast.

After eating, he planned to go to the infirmary to find Wu Yunfeng, then go together to Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak.

But unexpectedly, just after he placed silver coins on the table, intending to stand up, a figure appeared from afar, approaching him.

This person dressed plainly, appearing to be an ordinary citizen.

But in the citizen’s hand, there was a letter.

The citizen seemed somewhat timid, seeing Qin An clad in the uniform of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

Nevertheless, they gritted their teeth and placed the letter on the breakfast shop’s table.

"Sir, someone told me to give you this letter, you’ll understand when you read it."

As soon as the citizen said this, they seemed terrified and hurriedly turned away to leave.

Qin An looked at the envelope on the table and furrowed his brow.

Lately, his days have been overly calm, making him feel there hasn’t been any sign of danger.

Yet today, someone suddenly sent him a letter, arousing Qin An’s suspicion about its contents.

Thinking thus, Qin An opened the letter.

When the envelope was opened, Qin An’s brow raised slightly.

"A letter from Zhao Ruyue, interesting."

Zhao Ruyue was the half-demon woman Qin An had encountered recently in the Black Market auction house.

After the Black Market incident, Qin An didn’t engage further with Zhao Ruyue and directly left.

Therefore, there was no subsequent communication between them.

Yet today, Zhao Ruyue sent him a letter which intrigued Qin An about its contents.

With this in mind, Qin An carefully read through the letter.

After Qin An finished reading all the contents, his brow slightly furrowed.

"The Rainbow Fish Sect plans to make a move on me?"

The letter’s message was simple: a demon from the Rainbow Fish Sect, together with some water-dwelling demons, was plotting to take his life.

As for how Zhao Ruyue knew, it’s because deep within the water demons, there’s a well-hidden half-demon.

Moreover, the half-demon also joined the Half-Demon Alliance.

Qin An rubbed his chin, thinking secretly, "It seems all of this must wait until the Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak matter is resolved, for now, I don’t need to consider these things."

Thinking this, Qin An put away the letter and got up to head to the medical hall.

As for the matters mentioned in the letter, everything will be addressed once he returns from Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak.

...

On the way to the medical hall, no accidents occurred.

Upon arriving, Wu Yunfeng had already gathered his belongings.

Wu Yunfeng was carrying a wooden box on his back, from which the faint aroma of medicine wafted.

Doctors and Pill Masters are entirely different; a doctor’s medicine is crafted through special methods instead of being refined into pills.

Qin An sniffed instinctively and commented, "Are these all antidotes?"

Wu Yunfeng paused slightly, looking at Qin An as if seeing him for the first time, showing surprise.

"Given your previous level of expertise, you shouldn’t be able to discern the contents of the medicine box from its smell, yet now you can. Your skills as a doctor have improved."

Qin An withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly, "Just improved a bit."

Wu Yunfeng’s mouth twitched slightly, "It’s only been a short time, and you’ve already made progress. Don’t you consider practicing as a doctor with me? If so, you would be my disciple and gain some background within the Evil Extermination Bureau."

Qin An shook his head gently, "I’m indeed not interested in being a doctor. Besides, the background of this world isn’t as important as one’s own strength."

Wu Yunfeng sighed helplessly and stopped persuading, took out several herbs from the box, and handed them to Qin An, saying, "Take these; they will prevent the poisons at Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak from invading your body temporarily."

Qin An shook his head slightly, "Too large."

Wu Yunfeng was stunned, "What’s too large?"

Qin An pointed to the package of herbs, "The herbs are too large. I have something better."

Saying this, Qin An poured out a grain-sized pill from a porcelain bottle, displayed it in his palm for Wu Yunfeng to see.

Wu Yunfeng picked up the pill and widened his eyes, "Such a multi-effect pill can resist poison, and its ability isn’t less than the herbs I’ve refined. Did you specifically commission Pill Master Zhang Tianyi to refine this for you? The cost wouldn’t be cheap."

Qin An shook his head, "I made it myself."

Upon hearing this, the medical hall fell into silence.

Wu Yunfeng’s expression stiffened, "What did you just say?"

Qin An explained, "I have a slight understanding of Alchemy Dao, so I crafted these pills."

Wu Yunfeng was full of black lines, looking at Qin An with a gaze he couldn’t comprehend, "To understand Alchemy Dao, and also Medicine Dao, and to have such strong combat potential, are you truly from that small place in Xunyang Prefecture?"

He found it hard to fathom.

After all, the shock this person in front of him brought was tremendous.

His talent was extraordinary.

He suddenly felt as if Li Moyun held a treasure in his hands.

Qin An shook his head, "It’s merely a slight understanding, Lord Wu, let’s not dwell on this topic any further, let’s depart now."

This is the advantage of average leveling across all professions.

Qin An practically had no weaknesses.

But he now didn’t want to delve deeper into this subject, as these were his secrets.

Wu Yunfeng regained composure, nodding, "Alright, in that case, let’s set off now, but before departing, I know you’re certainly curious as to why I wish to go to Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak."

Qin An didn’t shy away, nodding, "Indeed, I’m curious. Could you please elaborate, Lord Wu?"

Wu Yunfeng nodded, "Of course, my purpose in going to Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak is simple..."
