"This pill is a slow-acting poison. Taking the antidote once every two months can suppress the poison... If you don't take the antidote within two months, then you're on your own!"

Qin Fang still doesn't know whether Shen Wuben will betray him or not. This kind of person seems very unreliable, the hardest to control, and capable of anything.

Nevertheless, Qin Fang specifically warned Shen Wuben, at least for now making the youngster abandon any thoughts of dealing with Qin Fang. As for the future, that's a matter to be addressed later.

"Understood..."

At this moment, Shen Wuben seemed to have come to terms with it. Having ingested the poison, his life was now in Qin Fang's hands. If he thought about rebelling, he could only expect a dead end.

"Then I'll take my leave. It's up to you to figure out an explanation regarding the Buddha Bone Relic... I will contact you if there's anything!"

Having tamed Shen Wuben, Qin Fang saw no further reason to stay. After giving some simple instructions to Shen Wuben, he left the place together with Song Qingshan.

Being with someone like Shen Wuben made Qin Fang feel quite uncomfortable, nowhere near as relaxed as with Monk Wukong, indicating how much he felt he couldn't rely on Shen.

Killing Shen Wuben earned Qin Fang only about a dozen Justice Points, which was negligible, and Qin Fang didn't care much about it.

As for Experience Points, of course, there would be a significant amount. With these Experience Points, Qin Fang's total would certainly be enough for him to advance to Level 6.

However, Qin Fang now didn't care much about these Experience Points. After killing Tang Nan from Tang Sect, his Experience Points had already nearly reached the threshold for leveling up, so this additional amount didn't mean much.

Qin Fang was also not in a hurry to rush to Level 6 Grandmaster; firstly, because he felt his accumulation and comprehension were insufficient, and secondly, he didn't want to reveal all his cards yet.

Grandmaster Level is the first significant milestone for Martial Artists. Upon promotion, there will be an opportunity for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to cleanse the meridians and purify the body.

At such time, the stronger and deeper one's foundation, the more benefits gained, and the further one can go in the future.

Although Qin Fang was not worried about any obstacles in his future path, if there was an opportunity that allowed him to be comparable to a Master-level Peak Expert immediately upon entering Grandmaster Level, he obviously wouldn't want to miss it.

Being invincible in his own level is a goal Qin Fang has always pursued!

From Level 1 to Level 5, it's simply a process of accumulation. Basically, as long as the Martial Artist's aptitude isn't abysmal, they can reach Level 5 with enough accumulation.

But truly being able to step into Level 6 Grandmaster is indeed very rare...

And similarly, barely advancing to Grandmaster Level predestines one to limited further potential and a much narrower path ahead, like Shangguan Tianling from the Heavenly Pool Sect. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so dedicated to cultivating his nephew, Lei Peng.

On the one hand, Lei Peng is younger and has greater potential; on the other hand, Shangguan Tianling constantly takes resources from the Heavenly Pool Sect to cultivate Lei Peng, enhancing his foundation to gain greater progress and a brighter future after advancing...

Qin Fang's current strength is comparable to a Mid-Master Level expert. Once he takes that critical step and advances to Grandmaster Level, he would at least be equal to Song Qingshan, and could face Master Level Late Stage experts without falling short.

Yet, this alone does not satisfy Qin Fang. What he wants is to reach Grandmaster Level Peak strength as soon as he enters Grandmaster Level, on par with the high-level expert, Cai Pingyuan, his master.

The moment of promotion is crucial. During the cleansing and tempering by Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, Qin Fang will have the Superb Spiritual Medicine Golden Dragon Saliva, which can enhance him to reach such goals if taken at that time.

However, having taken Golden Dragon Saliva once, Qin Fang still finds it hard to forget that feeling of being completely frozen and losing control, which essentially means his strength is still too weak.

If he has a sufficient foundation and then uses it when advancing to Grandmaster Level, the effects will certainly be amplified, and he will benefit from it even more...

This can be seen from Song Qingshan's current situation. Although Song is weaker than Tang Zhan from Tang Sect in terms of strength and their fighting experience is quite similar, when Song desperately fought against all odds, his sudden burst of underlying potential drastically closed the gap between them, leading to Tang Zhan's defeat and even serious injury...

Although it was the result of Song Qingshan's desperate efforts, both Qin Fang and Song knew that if it weren't for the Golden Dragon Saliva gifted by Qin Fang, even with all his might, Song wouldn't have beaten Tang Zhan...

Similarly, Tang Xin who Qin Fang brought out from the deep mountains is in the same situation. She is one of the Tangmen's Ten Great Disciples, but she has not yet entered Grandmaster Level and is still at Level 5 like Qin Fang, naturally harboring the same intention, which is why she ranks at the bottom among the Ten Great Disciples.

Once Tang Xin breaks through to Grandmaster Level, her ranking among the Ten Great Disciples is sure to soar quickly, at least not lower than Tang Nan, who died at the hands of Qin Fang. Tang Nan's ranking is sixth, and Tang Xin might even surpass Tang Zhan, who is ranked third...

Tang Nan placed such importance on Tang Xin not only because of her exceptional beauty, but perhaps her talent was an aspect he cared about as well.

The Tang Family developed their power based on their bloodline and clan. The continuation of the Tang bloodline was of great significance. Although they had no knowledge of genetics, a child born from two individuals with excellent talents could result in even more superior bloodline...

Meanwhile, Qin Fang was still in the process of accumulation and was in no hurry to advance to Level 6. He vaguely felt that this stage might not take too long.

...

Qin Fang and Song Qingshan had left the Imperial Palace Nightclub, disappearing as if they had never been there. Shen Wuben, however, clearly could not pretend as if nothing had happened.

Being poisoned by the Tang Sect essentially meant his life was entirely in Qin Fang's hands, a situation he was not pleased with, but had to accept as reality.

Smash, smash, smash...

In the private room, sounds of objects being shattered were incessant, and Shen Wuben was the only one inside, naturally it was all his doing.

"Bastards…"

At this moment, Shen Wuben's face looked ferocious. He had tried to exert his internal energy to expel the poison, but the result had been bitterly disappointing.

The poison was incredibly tricky; Shen Wuben could feel its presence but was unable to completely force it out of his body, not even able to suppress it within.

"Qin Fang, one day, I will make you pay for everything you've done to me today..."

Just thinking about the instigator of this situation made Shen Wuben's face even more twisted, turning purplish-blue, and appearing quite horrifying.

If Qin Fang were here at this moment, he would certainly notice that the red glow emanating from Shen Wuben had turned as crimson as blood, a clear sign of his extreme hatred for Qin Fang.

Even the excitement caused the wound in the palm of his hand to split open again, and blood flowed freely. Shen Wuben didn't pay much attention to it.

...

"Qin Fang, I'm afraid this Shen..."

Walking on the road, Song Qingshan, who was not usually talkative, couldn't help but give Qin Fang a warning. As an observer, he saw everything clearly. While Qin Fang and Shen Wuben spoke, he had been watching the entire time, noticing every single change in Shen Wuben's expression.

"I know, I haven't underestimated him..."

Qin Fang smiled. He valued Song Qingshan's kind reminder; at least now Song Qingshan stood with him on the same front.

"Such a man is definitely a ruthless character, someone who will stop at no means to achieve his goals... but likewise, if used correctly, such a person can sometimes have the effect of a surprise strategy!"

Qin Fang wasn't ready to use Shen Wuben just yet. Maintaining this unrelated relationship for now served two purposes: first, to observe Shen Wuben's condition, and second, to temper his personality, as Qin Fang didn't dare to employ him rashly...

If this guy betrays him at a critical moment and stabs Qin Fang in the back, it could be a matter of life and death, something Qin Fang definitely didn't want to see happen.

Moreover, after this incident, Shen Wuben was quite wary of Qin Fang and for the time being, dared not target any petty actions against him. He might even go to great lengths to ensure Qin Fang's safety.

With no way to remove the poison within him, he couldn't afford to harm Qin Fang and even had to protect his safety. If Qin Fang were to die unexpectedly, he would have to follow him into death.

For someone who cherishes his life so dearly, this was obviously something he was unwilling to see happen...

Of course, with him as Qin Fang's inside ally, the matter regarding the Buddha Bone Relic could be temporarily set aside, and the Shaolin Temple could also be at peace for the time being.

This was a win-win move for Qin Fang.

Not killing Shen Wuben also meant handling the situation without going to extremes; the Shaolin Temple would then have no reason for an extreme reaction. Even for Monk Wukong, it would be easier for Qin Fang to explain.

Though Monk Wukong did not care about Shen Wuben's life or death, if Qin Fang really killed Shen Wuben and the news reached Shaolin Temple, Shen Wuben's master would surely take advantage of the situation. Qin Fang wouldn't be too worried, but it might complicate things for Monk Wukong.

To avoid putting his friend in a difficult position, Qin Fang took the right measures...(to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
