Overbearing Immortal Doctor Chapter 1312 - 1411: An Uncontrollable Situation

"This represents two-thirds of its diluted power," Qin Feng stated, visualizing the aftermath of the Baili people’s demise as akin to an empire’s fall. Surviving ministers, fiercely loyal, would strive to protect royal family members, guiding their escape and concealment, clinging to the hope of a future return to China. However, after these ministers perished, their descendants' loyalty waned, replaced by a craving for power and personal gain, abandoning any thoughts of national restoration. The royal family, consequently, faced a devastating slaughter, with few survivors, trapped in an uncontrollable, inescapable spiral.

Lan Yueliang gazed at Qin Feng, remarking, "You are aware of the Three Saints Elixirs’ terrifying potency. Anyone practicing them can attain formidable strength within a year, capable of dominating virtual or even real realms. On an equal footing, a Poison Master holds the power to vanquish ten, perhaps even a hundred, ordinary masters. Consequently, our Poison Sect’s might has surged at an astonishing rate, eclipsing established powers like Solomon and the Fu Sect within a mere century."

Qin Feng offered a simple nod.

Among the six elders stationed at the Ancestor’s Relics, Elder Baili was identified as the weakest and most benevolent. This was largely attributed to the Baili Chief’s skeletal form, possessing poison but lacking the ability to wield it. Other elders recounted that during a historical war, the Baili Chief’s deterrent presence was second only to Shentu Chief, placing him second amongst the six patriarchs.

It is understood that while the Baili Sect gained renown for its potent toxins, its focus was not exclusively on poison-related matters. However, with the current Poison Sect’s specialization in employing poisons, its threat level has escalated considerably.

Such immense power within a family or sect logically leads to its formidable standing; it would be strange if it were otherwise.

Lan Yueliang continued, "As the Poison Sect grew in strength, so did its ambitions." They commenced the elimination of weaker factions, expanding their territory and even launching assaults against powers like the Fu Sect and the Shura Gate. Behind both the Kov Sect and the Shura Gate stood the ancient clans of Dan Tai and Tuoba.

While the "Poison Sect" wielded considerable force, it was still far from matching the might of the "Five Forces."

We encountered resistance from the Baili Clan because our ultimate objective was the revival of the Baili Clan itself. At that time, our strength was insufficient, and we wished to avoid premature exposure. Unfortunately, we could neither control the Poison Sect nor sway the other two key figures. In the end, the Fu Sect and the Shura Gate sought aid from the Dan Tai and Tuoba tribes. Across the vast continent, the apex of power among the five forces was truly terrifying. With their intervention, the Poison Sect rapidly disintegrated. Three masters perished, and the sect’s entire foundation was nearly annihilated. Subsequently, the surviving members of the Poison Sect retreated once more, hiding in a remote mountain settlement, too fearful to reveal themselves even now. The three crucial Holy Poisons and secret Buddhist scriptures vanished with the destruction of the three gates. Fortunately, midway through the narrative, a rubbing of the Voodoo body was preserved by members within the clan’s gate, preventing its complete loss. However, the first and second parts were entirely lost.

This is a lengthy account. Only 300 years have elapsed. Throughout these three centuries, we have diligently scoured the locations where the three gates were destroyed, yet regrettably, we have never succeeded in finding them.

"After three hundred years of searching without success, I suppose you anticipate finding it easily this time," Qin Feng couldn't help but remark.

Lan Yueliang offered an explanation, "The individual who perished here was the Grandmaster of our Baili Family, my grandfather. I am only aware of the location where my grandfather met his end, which is why I was uncertain previously."

Qin Feng gave another nod.

"Furthermore, we are all aware that Grandfather’s sect possessed a corpse embodying witchcraft and complete rubbings, which is why we haven't been in a rush to locate it. The first and second chapters remain missing, and haven't been found for three hundred years."

"Why are you seeking it now, with merely the two of you and a handful of others?" Qin Feng inquired, having observed Lan Yueliang accompanied by only four or five relatives.

Lan Yueliang responded with a shake of her head, "He desires it."

"To endeavor?" Qin Feng’s eyes widened in surprise. "Very well!"

Lan Yue regarded Qin Feng, a hint of bewilderment in her expression. She had divulged numerous secret histories concerning the clans and the Poison Sect, details she herself hadn't known for a considerable time. Yet, Lan Yue had simply chosen to place her trust in him, perhaps influenced by their prior interactions, which had fostered a nascent connection with this man.

"Recall that collection of toxic corpses I showed you earlier? Those were individuals who tragically failed the drug trials."

"Was it you who…"

"Not me!" Lan Yueliang exclaimed instantly. "I have consistently and vehemently opposed this practice. However, the Poison Sect is currently beyond my control, and my words hold no sway."

"I believe you," Qin Feng replied sincerely.

"You believe me?" Qin Feng’s composed demeanor seemed to have a calming effect on Lan Yueliang as well.

If these were all your suggestions, you wouldn’t tell me directly and would have said this wasn’t your business." Qin Feng touched his nose, calming himself.

"Hmm." Lan Yueliang nodded.

"I’m curious about what happened next." Qin Feng continued.

"Although these three Holy Poisons are controlled by three masters, they are recorded in the Poison Sect. For instance, a complete rubbing of the Voodoo Body is in the second Chapter, while the first and second Chapters are incomplete. However, some incomplete copies still exist. These scraps are impossible to cultivate. The Poison Sect couldn’t locate the fallen places of the other two masters, so I devised a method to test the poisons and experimented a little. Based on what remained, I attempted all possible cultivation paths." Lan Yue looked at Qin Feng, explaining, "What is called cultivation is the Poison Cultivation Method." Cultivating Poison, Hua Yin, are methods of nurturing poison. These poisons can easily cause death. Without a completely accurate cultivation method, deciding which poison to try first, which to use later, which to avoid, how much poison to administer, and the proper timing, temperature, and auxiliary cultivation practices—amidst billions of variations. A single minor mistake anywhere would surely lead to death.

"Billions of possibilities?" Qin Feng's expression shifted.

"I also find it ridiculous. I didn’t expect that entangled fellow to be so unlucky, crawling out of a corpse. He had almost no chance of succeeding." Lan Yueliang clearly felt regret. "Since that scoundrel successfully practiced the final Poison Yin Cultivation, his success made restoring the fragments of the Poison Yin Cultivation easy. The Poison Sect now relies on him."

"What happened next?"

When the Poison Sect tasted success, they persisted in seizing ordinary people who couldn't resist. I always opposed it, but it was useless. Now, I am trapped within the Poison Sect, unable to protect myself," Lan Yueliang shook her head and sighed.

"Those fools from the Fu Sect were killed; that’s good. They deserved it," Qin Feng stated.

Lan Yueliang offered a bitter smile, remained silent, and walked towards the third satin box.

Upon opening the third satin box, a finger adorned with black lacquer lay quietly within—it was a main memento of the Poison Sect, though useless to outsiders.

Seeing the item in the satin box, Qin Feng chuckled at his own naivety.

How could he expect to find something for others and receive it for free?

Under normal circumstances, would he dare to ask for the Voodoo Body?

Qin Feng mulled over bringing Baili Mingyue into the family grave to meet their ancestor and pass on the three Holy Poisons to her. However, he ultimately hesitated.

Exposing the Saint’s relics was akin to revealing he was Qin Feng, the one who obtained the country’s map. If all Five Forces were aware, the consequences would be severe. Furthermore, the Poison Sect was deeply sinister, and Lan Yue was one of its three main leaders. Ultimately, they didn’t know each other well. Even if they genuinely wished to help her, they would require thorough insight and certainty that she wasn’t a malicious individual.

Moreover, when they first met, he had been poisoned twice by that woman in a short period. Now, his limbs were gradually weakening, and his head began to feel heavy.
