...

"You think you've hidden it well?"

Qin Fang couldn't help but roll his eyes and snarkily said, "You just tucked that pill under your tongue, hoping to throw it away when we're not paying attention, right?"

Although Qin Fang spoke lightly, in reality, Hu Yiren's move was quite concealed, likely able to fool most people.

Unfortunately, with Qin Fang, it was completely ineffective.

The scouting skill has been monitoring Hu Yiren all along.

This pill isn't some good medicine; it's a poison...

As long as Hu Yiren swallowed this pill normally, his body would immediately enter a "poisoned" state. Unlike before, without showing symptoms, there's no way he could hide it then.

He slapped Hu Yiren directly, disrupting his breath's stability, allowing the pill to seamlessly integrate into Hu Yiren's mouth, quickly dissolving into a stream that flowed down his throat.

Poisoned!

Instantly, the poisoned state appeared...

"Ugh..."

Hu Yiren's face twisted with discomfort, but he couldn't say much, having already risked his life to play tricks. Getting a slap from Qin Fang was just bad luck.

"Hu Yiren, Elder Hu... Enjoy the happiness this pill brings you!"

At this moment, Qin Fang said with a mischievous smile.

"Ah..."

Almost as soon as Qin Fang finished speaking, Hu Yiren felt intense pain in his abdomen, causing even such a Great Master Peak Level expert to scream. Qin Fang was calm, but the Mercenary King, Ling Hu, was shocked, staring at Qin Fang and Hu Yiren in horror.

Soon, the pain extended beyond his abdomen, spreading outward. Even his dantian was faintly aching, followed by all his meridians overwhelmed with this intense pain.

"You, you harmed me..."

Feeling such intense pain, as if his meridians were entirely convulsed, Hu Yiren's face contorted. Despite being foolish, he knew Qin Fang had done something.

At least seeing him in so much pain, Qin Fang showed no intent to help...

"Idiot..."

Qin Fang rolled his eyes dismissively, uttering with disdain, "If you had complied honestly, I wouldn't have had to trouble you. But no, you had to pull some tricks. Without teaching you a lesson, I can't confidently control you!"

"You..."

Hu Yiren felt like he was about to perish but hearing Qin Fang made him frustrated, hesitantly pointing at him, wanting to say something. Yet, the searing pain forced him to abandon the idea.

Every part of his body was in agony, seemingly every cell hurt...

Opening his mouth felt unbearably painful, almost rendering him speechless...

"Save your strength, endure it, and it'll pass..."

Qin Fang said leisurely, standing aside with Ling Hu, waiting for Hu Yiren to completely surrender. Of course, his scouting skill constantly focused on Hu Yiren.

"Hmph... Did you really think I'd trust someone like you?"

Inwardly, Qin Fang couldn't help but chuckle coldly, "Once your strength is significantly reduced, and your resistance is at its lowest, then you'll truly be under my control... The Soul Control Technique is far more reliable than this simple poison!"

Indeed, Qin Fang never intended to control Hu Yiren merely with poison...

This old ghost's magic is quite formidable and strange, taught by the Blood Demon Sect, and a poisonous elixir might temporarily control him. But once he discovers a way to counteract it, it would be rendered ineffective.

Qin Fang has mastered numerous secret techniques in alchemy, even this toxic pill was crafted with unique methods, infused with poison from a Crocogator's venom sac, making its potency exceedingly terrifying...

Still, that wasn't foolproof, so Qin Fang opted for a more ruthless, direct approach... the Soul Control Technique.

Having prior experience with the Eighteen Underworld Beasts and the Split Wind Wolf King, Qin Fang was more adept this time.

Hu Yiren may have temporarily surrendered, yet his defiance was evident, even attempting trickery with the poison pill, not to mention anything else... Hence, Qin Fang simply released the poison's effect, nearly poisoning Hu Yiren to death.

When Hu Yiren's life was hanging by a thread, that's when Qin Fang would employ the Soul Control Technique, yielding remarkably effective results...

As for this poison pill, it was concocted by Qin Fang himself, so naturally he has the detoxification elixir... As long as the person doesn't die, they can definitely be saved.

"A grandmaster-level peak expert as a soul slave, although not as formidable as the Split Wind Wolf King, can be infinitely useful at times..."

Qin Fang was silently calculating in his mind...

This calculation began when he realized Hu Yiren was one of the culprits attempting to harm him... As for Elder Qingyuan, his utility is truly limited and sending him directly to the underworld seemed more fitting.

"Elder of the Hu Family, Jia Family's most outstanding young disciple... Blood Demon Sect, I will wait for you to fall into my hands!"

This is Qin Fang's true purpose.

"That's about enough, if it continues, he'll be done for..."

Seeing Hu Yiren barely breathing, the Mercenary King Ling Hu couldn't help but remind us.

"Hmm!"

Qin Fang nodded, the timing was almost right. He then momentarily controlled the speed of the poison's onset in Hu Yiren's body, but did not immediately treat Hu Yiren, instead he used...

"Soul Control Technique..."

Without any hesitation, Qin Fang deployed the Soul Control Technique skill.

A progress bar started reading...

Unfortunately, the Mercenary King Ling Hu couldn't see anything; otherwise, he would surely notice the faint white light rising from Hu Yiren's body, a unique skill effect of the Soul Control Technique visible only to Qin Fang and his soul slaves.

"Ding..."

Perhaps due to Hu Yiren's severe injuries, his whole body was tormented to the point of fainting, involuntarily twitching and shaking; but his resistance was even weaker than those of the Nether Beasts...

A very faint sound followed, the Soul Control Technique skill progress bar read completely, and faint white light immediately rose from Hu Yiren's body, indicating he had become Qin Fang's soul slave.

Immediately, Qin Fang pulled out a detoxification elixir from his person and forcibly stuffed it into Hu Yiren's mouth... Then, with the help of his own Gang Qi, he assisted Hu Yiren in refining this detoxification elixir!

"Will this... ensure nothing goes wrong?"

The Mercenary King Ling Hu couldn't help but ask, a bit puzzled.

It took considerable effort to get Hu Yiren into this state; he knew Qin Fang would save him but hadn't expected him to act so decisively, intending to completely save him, which was somewhat unbelievable, at least to him.

"Nothing will go wrong... He will behave from now on!"

Qin Fang responded with a smile.

Though at the beginning, he and the Mercenary King Ling Hu were bitter rivals, the cooperation made them appreciate each other somewhat... Had the Mercenary King Ling Hu not already decided to withdraw from the Underground World, Qin Fang would have invited him to venture back into it together.

"It seems that it would be wise to use the poison pill sparingly in the future... Its toxicity is too domineering, even damaging the elemental energy!"

Qin Fang silently reminded himself.

The Scouting Skill continuously monitored Hu Yiren's condition... After administering the detoxification pill, the poison of the pill quickly dissolved, ultimately eliminating all the toxins.

However, the poison pill had wreaked havoc on Hu Yiren's body...

Even with the poison gone, it still resulted in a certain degree of harm... Even Hu Yiren's elemental energy was damaged somewhat, likely reducing his strength!

Regarding this, Qin Fang was not overly concerned.

Hu Yiren was already a grandmaster-level peak expert, just a step away from entering the Supreme Realm...

Others might not be able to help him step beyond but, with Qin Fang, it's not a problem at all.

The Azure Dragon Pill, an incomparably precious treasure elixir, would definitely guarantee successful breakthrough with just one pill...

Additionally, Qin Fang possesses the Azure Heart, Barbaric God Stone, and other treasures, all able to assist grandmaster-level peak experts in breaking through to the Supreme Realm... For the prospect of gaining a Supreme Realm powerhouse as his follower and slave, Qin Fang wouldn't be stingy at all.

The real dissatisfaction Qin Fang felt was due to the overly vicious toxicity of the poison pill, leaving Hu Yiren half dead; his elemental energy was harmed too... For ordinary young adults it might not be a big deal, but Hu Yiren's age is considerable, and being tormented like this could lead to serious consequences.

It's fair to say it caused extremely severe trauma...

Even leaving internal injuries...

Even if he broke through to the Supreme Realm level in the future, his achievements might not be that significant... Qin Fang hesitated whether to waste his precious advancement treasures on such an old man with hardly any prospects. (To be continued.
