The Love Flower is simply the white Datura. Datura is a one-year, poisonous herb.
Datura is toxic in all parts, with the fruit and seeds being the most toxic. The toxicity of dried leaves is less than that of fresh leaves. Its leaves, flowers, seeds, and stems can all be used as medicine. It contains scopolamine, hyoscyamine, and a small amount of atropine, among other alkaloids, with the flower having the highest content.
This is a plant Su Sheng spent great effort cultivating.
Wen Hu Jiu: “I... I concede!”
Su Sheng looked down at Wen Hu Jiu: “Just conceding isn’t enough. You have to pay a price. You have two choices: death or become my apprentice!”
Wen Hu Jiu: “A man, a true man, doesn't fear death! I simply admire Mr. Su and wish to be your disciple. Please, teach me!”
Needless to say, anyone with a brain would know what to choose.
Earlier, Wen Hu Jiu used many poison techniques, all ineffective against Su Sheng. This shows that Su Sheng’s skill in poison surpasses his.
Currently, the Wen family dominates the poison art in the martial world, while the Tang Sect is renowned for their dual mastery of poison and stealth, clearly aiming to compete with the Wen family.
If he could improve his poison skills, at the upcoming Poison Testing Grand Assembly, he would surely make the world know the Wen family’s prowess!
Su Sheng was pleased with Wen Hu Jiu’s attitude: “Very well. Since that’s the case, I will teach you the Sound Wave Poison Art. Study it well!”
“Yes! Master!”
Bai Li Dong Jun was shocked to see Su Sheng surpass his uncle in poison skills. After all, in this world, only three people could surpass his uncle in poison arts.
But Master poisoned him so easily!
“Master, you are so amazing!”
Bai Li Dong Jun cheered.
【Congratulations, Host, for accepting Wen Hu Jiu as a disciple. Returning the Indestructible Vajra Skill】
【Congratulations, Host, for teaching Wen Hu Jiu the Sound Wave Poison Art. Returning ten Sumeru Rings】
Su Sheng’s eyes lit up. The Indestructible Vajra Skill?
The legendary skill that makes one invincible to any attack, immune to all poisons, the ultimate Buddhist martial art, the Indestructible Vajra Skill?
With this skill, even if he couldn’t kill someone, at least he would be assured that no one could kill him either!
This skill is a life-saving artifact in the martial world!
More importantly, ten Sumeru Rings were returned. This means that he could store things in the Sumeru Ring.
Previously, Su Sheng was worried about taking the Heavenly Palace’s “Sky-Cleaving” sword from the system, as it was too conspicuous and he had no place to put it.
Today’s reward immediately solved his problem!
Bai Li Dong Jun chuckled: “Uncle, come on, call me big brother and see!”
Wen Hu Jiu: “You little brat, you’re so disrespectful!”
Bai Li Dong Jun: “What’s disrespectful? Master said, in the sect, it’s all about master and disciple, not father and son!”
Wen Hu Jiu’s lips trembled: “Not father and son? Dong Jun, you mean your father also became Su Sheng’s disciple?”
Bai Li Dong Jun: “Of course! It was Master who helped Father comprehend the Twelve Hours Fast Sword Intent!”
Wen Hu Jiu was completely shocked!
He didn’t expect Su Sheng to be so powerful!
But he looked like just a powerless scholar!
Wen Hu Jiu bowed to Su Sheng: “It was my fault, please forgive me, Master!”
“It’s alright. Once a master, always a father. You are now part of the family!”
Bai Li Dong Jun: “Master, you’ve taken in many disciples. Shouldn’t we have a sect name? When we roam the martial world and face strong enemies, I can shout, ‘I am a disciple of such and such sect!’
Wouldn’t that be awesome?”
Su Sheng nodded slightly: “Indeed, it does sound very fulfilling!”
“So, what should we call ourselves? Mr. Li, the number one in the world, named his school the Jixia Academy. Should we call ours the Jixia Palace?”
Su Sheng: “That’s too low-key. We’ll call ourselves the Ghost Valley Academy!”
“Ghost Valley Academy? That’s a good name. It sounds intimidating!”
“Starting today, I am the senior disciple of the Ghost Valley Academy!”
With an academy and a name, Su Sheng decided to find a courtyard in Qianyong City.
After all, the more divine skills Su Sheng received from the system for teaching disciples, the less convenient it was to practice in the Marquis of Western Frontier’s Manor, with all those eyes around.
Having his own courtyard, and if he could also learn some formations, like the Confucian Sword Immortal, to have a courtyard of his own would be excellent.
Su Sheng: “Alright, let’s go, we’ll take a stroll around Qianyong City!”
Bai Li Dong Jun’s eyes lit up: “Master, are you really taking me to stroll around Qianyong City?”
“Of course. You want to roam the martial world and become famous? Then you need to go through three stages: See the world, experience the world, and rule the world.
Not one can be missed!”
“Great! I, Bai Li Dong Jun, the Wine Immortal, will eventually become famous throughout the world and rule the world!”
Su Sheng took Bai Li Dong Jun for a walk in Qianyong City, while Bai Li Cheng Feng followed closely behind, not wanting to leave Su Sheng’s side.
Su Sheng: “Cheng Feng, I’m just walking around Qianyong City!”
Bai Li Cheng Feng, with a respectful expression: “Master, are you not satisfied with the hospitality of the manor?”
“No, I want to establish a sect, called the Ghost Valley Academy, to teach, guide, and answer questions.”
Bai Li Cheng Feng: “That’s a good thing! My wife has a dowry property in Qianyong City. I’ll take you there!”
“Alright!”
Su Sheng didn’t stand on ceremony with Bai Li Cheng Feng!
They arrived at the mansion. Bai Li Dong Jun, being mischievous, climbed trees for a while and then climbed walls.
Su Sheng looked at the spacious five-section courtyard, quite satisfied. This courtyard is quite large, with many rooms.
In the backyard, there was a natural hot spring, which would be enough for him in the future.
“Good, this is it!”
“I’ll have the deed changed with the new name and send it to you!”
While Su Sheng was looking at the courtyard, Bai Li Dong Jun suddenly noticed that the osmanthus flowers in the neighboring yard were blooming exceptionally well, and he couldn’t help but be interested.
He leaped towards the courtyard, but as soon as he stepped onto the eaves, he felt like he had collided with an invisible wall.
Bai Li Dong Jun fell to the ground, his head dizzy. When he slowly opened his eyes, he saw the warm yellow light of the setting sun bathing the courtyard in a golden hue. Under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, an elderly man in white robes and a long beard, with a 仙气临人的 (xian qi lin ren) aura, was sitting on the ground.
He held a wine cup in one hand and plucked osmanthus flowers from the tree with the other, looking at Bai Li Dong Jun and smiling: “You’re awake?”
