The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#328 - Ghost

"You set up an ambush to deal with Yan Jun, also to use her to refine an exotic item?" Lu Jing's voice had already turned cold.

"That's right," a greedy look appeared in Wang Wan's eyes, "Although I possess an exotic item, I ultimately don't understand martial arts, and with my age, I've already missed the best time to practice martial arts. Even if I start practicing now, the best result would only be to barely become a third-rate expert.

"It's naturally not a problem to deal with ordinary people, but if I encounter an expert like Great Hero Lu, one wrong move and I might be eliminated by Great Hero Lu acting on behalf of Heaven.

"So I've always wanted to refine an exotic item that would allow me to possess the strength of a first-rate expert, and to refine such an exotic item, I first need to find a first-rate expert.

"Actually, after learning that Great Hero Lu, you were on the Celestial Pivot Ranking, I also considered you, but we're not familiar with each other after all, your guard against me is definitely stronger than Yan Jun's, and I didn't know where you were at that time, so in the end, I could only choose my cousin.

"But what I didn't expect was that perhaps it's fate, you actually came with Yan Jun this time," Wang Wan sighed as she spoke.

"One of you is my cousin, and the other is the man I fell in love with at first sight. To be honest, I'm a little reluctant. How about this, I'll return this difficult choice to you, Great Hero Lu, you decide who I use to refine that exotic item."

"I won't let my companion be made into an exotic item by you," Lu Jing said.

"No, no, no, Great Hero Lu, you seem to have misunderstood something. Being made into an exotic item is the only way for you two to survive tonight, and the remaining person can only die." Wang Wan's tone was still gentle, but only when she uttered the last word did a hint of coldness emerge.

"Madam Wang seems very confident in herself."

Lu Jing also gripped the Zen staff in his hand again. At such a close distance, he was confident that he could control Wang Wan before she cut the rope.

But the next moment, he heard Wang Wan say faintly, "Unfortunately, until the very last moment, Great Hero Lu, you still didn't eat the duck palm that I personally made for you."

As her voice fell, even though she hadn't cut the thin rope on the stool, the thin rope suddenly loosened, which also meant that the heavy object tied to the other end of the rope had fallen.

Then, a somewhat eerie strange noise came from the room behind Wang Wan, clearly the sound of a knife cutting into flesh and bone.

"You!" Lu Jing was furious, and then he swung the Zen staff in his hand.

However, almost at the same time, a phantom flew out from the crack in the door, shooting straight towards his face!

The phantom's speed was very fast. With Lu Jing's eyesight, he couldn't accurately capture its full appearance. He barely moved the Zen staff that was originally used to attack Wang Wan to the phantom's flight path, hoping to block it slightly.

But the phantom hit the Zen staff, but it didn't even stop, it just passed straight through! It was as if the Zen staff that Lu Jing swung didn't exist at all.

Seeing this, Lu Jing didn't have time to be shocked, and quickly activated the Fire Scale Armor.

This body protection skill had been practiced by him to the fourth level, and now the skin of his whole body had become invulnerable to swords and spears, but it still failed to stop the phantom, no, more accurately, it couldn't even slow it down.

Lu Jing could only watch helplessly as the phantom drilled into his chest.

And his heart sank along with it.

After realizing that Yan Jun had been controlled by Wang Wan, Lu Jing had been carefully guarding against possible dangers. For this reason, his attention had been highly concentrated, and he had not given up guarding his surroundings even when talking to Wang Wan.

But this time, the opponent was more ferocious and mysterious than he had ever encountered before.

The phantom was ridiculously fast and could not be blocked at all. Lu Jing knew that it was bad for it to drill into his body, but for a while, he couldn't do anything about it.

Especially after the phantom completely entered his body, Lu Jing didn't know what else he could do.

He tried to use his internal force to protect his meridians first, and then wanted to force out the cold aura that had grown in his chest, but his efforts, like the previous few times, had no other effect.

The cold aura rotated a few times in his chest, and then rushed to his head without hesitation.

It plunged into his upper dantian!

At this time, Wang Wan spoke again, "How is it, how does the exotic item—Void Ghost—taste? This thing is not easy to refine. You need to choose infants who are less than a month old, recognize them as sons, then extract a soul, and also continuously feed them Underworld Soup for a full hundred days.

"If you can survive this stage, there are still six stages to pass, and this exotic item will only be refined when it is seven years old, and it can only be preserved for one year, but although the refining process is complicated and costly, once it is refined, it will be the nemesis of you cultivators!"

"It will drill into your upper dantian, take away your secret cauldron, take over all the secret power in your body, and then use this secret power to block the connection between your primordial spirit and your body, hehe... then you won't even be able to move a little finger."

Wang Wan said, she had already stood up from the stool excitedly, and her gaze towards Lu Jing became more and more strange, and at the same time, a flush appeared on her cheeks.

Then her breathing became rapid, and her voice seemed to be dripping with water, "But it doesn't matter, at this time your five senses are still there, and they will become more sensitive than usual, so..."

Wang Wan suddenly closed her mouth here, then giggled and walked towards the motionless Lu Jing.

Although she had given birth to two children, it must be said that Wang Wan's figure was still well maintained, and there was no excess flesh on her tight abdomen.

If she didn't admit it herself, no one would know that she was already married.

"Although from the moment you took Bao'er's two gifts, it was destined that you would not be able to survive tonight, but I can find a way to compensate you in other ways," Wang Wan bit her lip and said.

"I was so stupid, I only thought about marrying a satisfactory husband and then raising children at home, but I forgot that this is a world dominated by power. Without power, even if you have obtained a lot of things, they will eventually disappear.

"On the contrary, with enough power, even those things that don't belong to me, I can now hold them in my hands. This is the taste of power." Wang Wan reached out and stroked Lu Jing's cheek.
