We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? - Chapter 267

Chapter 267 Human Life is Worthless

“Have you said goodbye to your parents?”

“Yes.”

On the way down the mountain, Jiang Li and Yu Feng chatted, Yu Feng feeling somewhat down.

Three disciples of the Blood Sea Sect had died near the village. The sect leader would undoubtedly investigate where the three had been before their deaths. He had to act first and kill them before the leader could find him and the village. Even

after killing the leader, Yu Feng could not return to the village.

The fate Yu Feng faced might be limited to him, or it could affect others. For the safety of the villagers and his parents, Yu Feng had no choice but to leave the village.

He knew this all too well. He had joined many sects, only to meet his own fate or die in tragic massacres.

Death was the end of the world; it was simply a matter of whether he would die alone or with those around him.

Yu Feng looted the belongings of the three disciples, and the medicinal herbs and elixirs he found helped him reach the third level of Qi training,

barely meeting the standards of a mortal in Jiuzhou.

“I suggest you don’t take the next step,”

Jiang Li suddenly said. The ground beneath Yu Feng’s feet suddenly softened.

It was a trap!

With Jiang Li’s warning, Yu Feng reacted instantly, adjusting his center of gravity and leaning back, avoiding falling into the trap.

Yu Feng saw that the spot he had stepped on was a large pit, covered with grass, and filled with sharp bamboo thorns.

“Is it a hunter’s trap?” Given Yu Feng’s physical strength, the bamboo thorns wouldn’t kill him.

“No, they’re poisoned. It’s not lethal, just enough to knock the prey unconscious.”

Yu Feng didn’t think the person who set the trap here had any good intentions.

Stunning? Just a means of taking people away.

“It’s probably not for you, but for the monsters. This place is sparsely populated and not a public road. The probability of monsters appearing is far greater than that of humans,” Jiang Li analyzed. Yu

Feng was speechless. He thought he had experienced every possible way to die, but he didn’t expect there would be another one here.

“It could be someone from the Sky Poison Sect. Only people from the Sky Poison Sect use poison around here.”

“The trap has been triggered, and a Sky Poison Sect disciple will be here soon to investigate. You can buy some poison from him then.” Jiang Li named a few poisons and disappeared.

Soon, another Sky Poison Sect disciple appeared. They thought a demonic beast had fallen into the trap and they could experiment on it. Unexpectedly, it wasn’t a demonic beast, but a cultivator.

“Greetings, fellow Sky Poison Sect member. I’m Ma Liu from the Blood Sea Sect.” Yu Feng had interacted with Sky Poison Sect disciples before.

The Sky Poison Sect was a group of eccentrics who tinkered with poisons, often experimenting on humans and demonic beasts.

However, since everyone was in the Qi Condensation Stage, he couldn’t see through their realm, so he wouldn’t intervene.

Cultivators who used poison were very cautious.

Yu Feng produced the identification card he had received from a Blood Sea Sect disciple. Seeing that he was a Blood Sea Sect disciple, backed by a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, the Sky Poison Sect disciple abandoned any remaining thoughts of capturing Yu Feng for experiments.

“So it’s Fellow Daoist Ma Liu. I hope the trap didn’t accidentally injure you?”

“Fellow Daoist from the Sky Poison Sect, your trap is brilliant. I nearly fell into it. I happen to need some poisons. Could you sell me some?”

“What do you need?” The Sky Poison Sect disciples also needed spirit stones.

“Frost Water, Viper Fang, Reddish-Brown Lizard Tail…”

“I just happen to have them all. You take out the spirit stones first.”

The Sky Poison Sect disciple thought it was a coincidence, unaware that Jiang Li had already used his spiritual sense to see what he was carrying.

“You and I will both put our things on the ground, and then we’ll switch places.”

“Okay.”

Yu Feng took the spirit stones from the Blood Sea Sect disciple and placed them on the ground. The Sky Poison Sect also placed their poisons on the ground. They stared into each other’s eyes and carefully circled around to return their places.

Finally, both received what they wanted and left with a fist.

“Senior Jiang, these poisons aren’t too strong. What are they used for?” Yu Feng was curious. He could also refine some poisons. These were enough to kill a cultivator at the seventh or eighth level of Qi training.

“Don’t worry, this is just part of it.”

Yu Feng nodded, putting the poison away.

Yu Feng returned to the town. This time, the old woman selling meat buns, seeing that Yu Feng was well-dressed and didn’t look like a beggar, didn’t approach him to sell her meat buns.

“Go to this old woman and buy a meat bun.”

Yu Feng’s eyes widened, thinking he had misheard. Jiang Li repeated it again, confirming that he was really being asked to buy buns.

The old woman’s buns were filled with human flesh!

Out of trust in Jiang Li, Yu Feng gritted his teeth and bought one. Just as he opened his mouth to eat, Jiang Li stopped him.

“I didn’t tell you to eat it.”

“Put it under that tree to attract the black cat.”

Yu Feng breathed a sigh of relief; eating that bun would leave a psychological scar.

The black cat, sensing the aroma of the meat bun, strode gracefully towards him, but before it could eat, Yu Feng grabbed it.

“Take some of the black cat’s blood and return it to the young lady.”

The black cat struggled, but Yu Feng couldn’t resist, and was forced to bleed it.

“Is this black cat a demonic beast?”

Yu Feng had previously viewed black cats as mere tools to earn rewards from the young lady. Now, considering this cat’s penchant for eating human flesh buns, he realized it wasn’t just any other black cat.

“It’s not a demonic beast. This black cat has been fed on dead human flesh since its infancy. It could be called a Hades Cat. Its blood possesses both toxic and cold properties, making it an excellent poison.”

“Eating dead human flesh? Then the young lady who raised her…” Yu Feng’s face darkened. He remembered a time when he was invited to the young lady’s home and was murdered by one of her servants.

He’d once thought the servants were jealous of him, but now he realized the young lady might have been behind it.

“Can you guess if you’ve ever been eaten by this black cat?” Jiang Li asked with amusement, making Yu Feng want to strangle the cat.

“Just kidding, this black cat hasn’t eaten anyone in ages. The young lady must have found it from a pile of corpses or a graveyard. She fed it live fish every day, which greatly reduced the effectiveness of its blood. Now it can only be used as a poison inducer.”

“I’m afraid the young lady’s parents knew the black cat’s origins and didn’t want her to keep it, but they couldn’t explain it directly, so they threw it away. Unexpectedly, you picked it up again, so they hold a grudge against you and ordered their servants to kill you.”

Jiang Li used his spiritual sense to observe the situation at the young lady’s home and made a deduction.

Yu Feng felt that his death was truly unjust.

“People in your world really don’t take human life seriously.”

A demonic sect like the Blood Sea Sect killing someone for picking up a black cat—such a thing couldn’t happen in Jiuzhou.

Or rather, it couldn’t happen in Jiuzhou today.

According to Immortal Changcun, when the demonic ways were prevalent, Jiuzhou wasn’t exactly hospitable to mortals.

“Hasn’t the world of immortal cultivation always been like this?” Yu Feng was surprised, wondering why Senior Jiang had such a sentiment.

Jiang Li sighed. In the ancient world, human life was worthless.

“Let’s go to the pharmacy to buy some more herbs to prepare the poison.”

Yu Feng heard this and went to the pharmacy to buy some common herbs. “Senior Jiang, how do you make it?”

“I don’t know.” Jiang Li answered crisply.

“Huh?” Yu Feng was stunned.

“It’s okay, I can call someone for help. Lao Bai, please call the leader of the Spiritual Medicine Sect for me.”
