Chapter 257

With amazement written all over his face, Ren Baqian looked at the poison pill that was the size of a four-year-old child's fist .

Are you kidding me?

"This has been made according to your requirements . After consuming it, one has to eat the antidote once every half a month, otherwise his or her stomach will rot . Its size can't be helped . Since its medicinal taste is too strong, I had to use a huge amount of honey and other ingredients to conceal it . If the pill is too small in size, it won't be powerful enough to kill an Earth Wheel expert . " The imperial doctor had a look of amazement on his face as well . He had never heard of anyone that wanted a poison pill that was sweet in taste .

"Or you can use this, but its medicinal taste is very strong . " The imperial doctor took out another box . The moment Ren Baqian opened the box, he smelled a very odd odor, making him want to puke . The pill was slightly smaller than the Six Flavors Foxglove Pill that he ate previously .

"Never mind, I will use this . I'm a trustworthy person . Since I've told him the poison pill will be sweet, I have to give him a sweet one . " Ren Baqian took the fist-sized pill and left . In any case, he wouldn't be the one eating it .

"He has to swallow it whole," the imperial doctor added as Ren Baqian walked off .

Ren Baqian merely waved his hand without turning back .

Every day, Ren Baqian was surrounded by Earth Wheel experts and they came as no surprise to him . However, in Great Xia, a top-tier aristocratic family only had a few consecrated Earth Wheel experts .

The Earth Wheel level was further divided into four levels: initial, intermediate, advanced, and apex . An initial Earth Wheel expert could use a saber to block bullets, jump seven meters into the air, and exert 5800 newtons of force . Basically, he or she was considered a superhuman on Earth . Zhu Chengjun was an intermediate Earth Wheel expert, and he was much more powerful than an initial Earth Wheel expert . Even if the pill was fist-sized, he could still swallow it with ease .

After asking someone to bring Zhu Chengjun to the palace, Ren Baqian sat in the courtyard of Pingle Park and placed a box on the stone table in front of him .

When Zhu Chengjun was led into the courtyard, Ren Baqian was playing Plants vs . Zombies on his smartphone .

"Give me a moment, I will be done soon . " Ren Baqian was looking at the screen on his phone with an anxious look on his face . After a long while, he put down the phone and examined Zhu Chengjun . His face was skinny, his lips were thin, and he had an indifferent look on his face . He looked a trustworthy person to Ren Baqian .

His clothes were shabby and dirty and there were several strands of straw in his hair . However, he still looked much better than Ren Baqian had when he just arrived in this world and was thrown into the dungeon . At that time, he was just wearing a pair of underpants .

Zhu Chengjun looked energized as well .

"Hmm, there's nothing much I have to say . You do my bidding and I will give you the antidote . Once you complete the task, I will cure you of the poison . You're merely on the level of Earth Wheel, I don't really need to guard myself against you," Ren Baqian said while nodding his head .

Initially, Zhu Chengjun was still wondering what the thing in Ren Baqian's hands was . When he heard these words, a burst of anger arose in him . He felt that these words were too arrogant . Given his strength, he would be valued by people everywhere he went in Great Xia . This was the first time someone looked down on him .

However, when he thought of what he had seen for the past two days, he felt that it was reasonable for Ren Baqian to say these words . All of the palace guards were on the level of Earth Wheel . Even the jailer was on the level of Earth Wheel . He couldn't help but sigh . The aboriginals were indeed too powerful .

"Anyhow, I can find someone else to do it . It's not difficult to find someone that's willing to do this kind of thing for me . However, I feel that you can sniff out every single member of the Lian family, and therefore, I'm giving you this opportunity to redeem yourself . You can live, and you can seek revenge for yourself, you can have best of the both worlds . This is a deal between you and me . Once you have completed the task, you can go anywhere you want," Ren Baqian continued .

"There are still a few Earth Wheel experts in the Lian family . Lian Qizhi himself was near the level of apex Earth Wheel . It's not easy to find someone that can get rid of them," Zhu Chengjun couldn't help but say . Ren Baqian's words made him feel as though he was worthless .

"It's not that troublesome," Ren Baqian waved his hand and replied . "Pick a night and throw this small bottle into their residence . You can throw it in yourself or get a local ruffian to do it, it doesn't make a difference . "

Zhu Chengjun stared at the small transparent bottle in Ren Baqian's hand . Suddenly, he remembered that Ren Baqian's reputation was spread widely in Great Xia, even though he looked no different from an ordinary man .

Commoners might not know much about him, but almost all the powerful and influential individuals knew who he was .

Poison Warrior .

The person who poisoned everyone in the Nine Pavilions and tens of thousands of Great Xiao soldiers to death .

Does that bottle contain poison? The eight Spirit Wheel pavilion masters in the Nine Pavilions were killed by his poison . Even a Spirit Wheel expert could not survive his poison, let alone an Earth Wheel expert .

Ren Baqian could indeed find a random person to throw the bottle into the Lian family's residence .

No wonder Ren Baqian had spoken to him in a disdainful tone . When Zhu Chengjun thought of this, he felt slightly dejected .

A person's worth needed to be validated by other people . Most people would feel dejected when their worth was undermined by other people .

"Alright, swallow this in whole . " Ren Baqian pa.s.sed the box to Zhu Chengjun .

When Zhu Chengjun opened the box, his eyes widened with shock .

This pill is the size of a child's fist, how am I supposed to swallow it?

"This poison pill is quite safe . As long as you eat the antidote on time, you will definitely not die . If you don't eat the antidote on time, you will definitely die . It won't take effect prematurely or late . Its stability is very high . It's merely larger than ordinary poison pills . I have faith in you, you can do it . " Ren Baqian had a look of encouragement on his face .

After some hesitation, Zhu Chengjun clenched his eyes and stuffed the pill into his mouth . Following which, he tried to push the pill down his throat . Ren Baqian watched on as a lump appeared on Zhu Chengjun's throat, resembling a snake that was devouring large prey .

When Ren Baqian saw that Zhu Chengjun was almost choked to death by the supersized poison pill, he quickly asked someone to bring some water over . After a long while, Zhu Chengjun coughed heavily and recovered .

Then, Ren Baqian pa.s.sed him half a year's worth of antidote, a small bottle of sarin gas and a bottle of antidote for sarin gas . Finally, he told Zhu Chengjun the method of contact before asking someone to send him off .

Actually, Ren Baqian was slightly hesitant about pa.s.sing the sarin gas to Zhu Chengjun . This weapon was far too dangerous . But on the other hand, it was an impossible task for Zhe Chengjun to single-handedly annihilate the Lian family .

However, after thinking about it, he still decided to give him a small bottle of sarin gas . Even though the amount of sarin gas he gave him was quite small, it was enough to destroy the Lian family .

Ren Baqian told Zhu Chengjun that the poison wasn't really that powerful and that it was merely enough to cause heavy casualties in the Lian family .

He purposely lied to Zhu Chengjun about the potency of the poison as he did not want him to use it on a city in the heat of the moment .

When Zhe Chengjun walked out of the palace, he suddenly felt the sky looked brighter than usual . On the way to Dayao, he thought he was dead for sure .

He did not expect himself to have the chance to seek revenge and surviving .

No matter what, he had to seek revenge first . He did so much for the Lian family and they tried to silence in the end .

He also couldn't completely believe Ren Baqian, so he needed to find someone to check if the poison in his body could be cured or not . He definitely wanted to seek revenge on the Lian family, but it reguardless did not feel good to have his life in other people's hands .

After all, he was an Earth Wheel expert . Now that he had survived, he wanted to regain control over his life . This was a human instinct .

If he could survive this ordeal, he promised himself that he would work hard in the future, by hook or by crook . He did not want to be looked down on by people again .

Every dog will have its day .

Zhu Chengjun's indifferent face was filled with determination and resolution .

Ren Baqian's words somewhat damaged his ego . Even though he understood why Ren Baqian would say those words, he still couldn't accept his disdainful tone .

   . . .

"Oh? Zhu Chengjun drank wine by himself in a restaurant?" Ren Baqian initially thought that Zhu Chengjun would leave for Great Xia immediately . He did not expect him to find a restaurant to drink wine first .

Was he celebrating his survival?

"Then he got into a conflict with someone and was beaten up badly . If it weren't for the people from the public order bureau, he would have been beaten to death," the imperial guard continued .

"Pfff!" Ren Baqian spat out the tea in his mouth .

After all, he saved Zhu Changjun's life with great difficulty .

Such a bad beginning . . .

Even though you're an Earth Wheel expert and you garner awe in Great Xia, in a place like Lan City, even an old lady can beat you to death .

Following which, Ren Baqian furrowed his eyebrows and said, "Send him back to Great Xia, immediately . "

Fortunately, Zhu Chengjun never threw out the bottle of sarin in the heat of the moment; otherwise, the outcome would have been disastrous .
