The scene changed, and the two arrived at a thatched hut filled with herbs and various dried plants. Gongyang Feng began to gesticulate wildly and excitedly as he introduced them to Gao Jianfei.
Just like Sun Erniang's special skill in using sleeping potions, Gongyang Feng's special skill in using poisons is actually just a formula!
His poison is called... Heavenly Devastation!
Upon exposure to this "medicine," one experiences intense itching all over the body in an instant. Scratching causes a series of blisters and numerous pustules to appear, which burst on their own without scratching, leaving spots of sticky, foul-smelling pus that eventually spreads into a festering sore. Hence the saying, "If it comes into contact with a person, it will immediately fester upon exposure to wind, until the skin is exposed to the flesh, the flesh to the bone, and the person dies from a body full of sores."
Hearing Gongyang Feng describe the medicinal properties of Tiankui San, Gao Jianfei felt a chill run down his spine. One could imagine a person suddenly experiencing unbearable itching all over their body, developing pustules, and then their skin and flesh festering, leaving only a skeleton—a scenario more horrifying than any horror movie!
This kind of "heavenly dispersant" can be mixed into alcohol and taken like a "sleep-inducing drug," or it can be sprinkled directly on the skin to take effect.
The poison's formula was derived from special herbs from the Miao region, which corresponds to the modern-day Guizhou and Yunnan areas. These herbal formulas are absolutely not found in traditional Chinese medicine shops. Therefore, although Gao Jianfei knows how to prepare the Heavenly Destruction Powder, he cannot create it himself.
Left with no other choice, they could only buy from Gongyang Feng. They could exchange Flower Exorcism Points for some Heavenly Destruction Elixir from him.
By consulting the intelligent program, Gao Jianfei learned that 800 exorcism points were needed to exchange for two days of collapse.
Furthermore, since users inevitably get a little bit of the powder on themselves when using Heavenly Destruction Powder to kill, which would be disastrous and cause a backlash, Gao Jianfei needs to buy an antidote from Gongyang Feng before purchasing Heavenly Destruction Powder. Taking this antidote is equivalent to having antibodies against Heavenly Destruction Powder.
The antidote is called "Ma Wu Cao" and costs 200 exorcism points per serving.
Gao Jianfei gritted his teeth and spent a full 1,000 exorcism points to buy two days' worth of antidote and one dose of hemp grass.
He chewed up the aconite on the spot and swallowed it, only to find it extremely bitter.
Gongyang Feng grinned sinisterly and handed Gao Jianfei a small packet of powder, reminding him, "Little Gao, one dose of this Heavenly Destruction Powder is enough to poison 200 people! Use it slowly, and come back for more when you need it. Heh, killing and poisoning, how interesting, how interesting. It's just a pity I'm stuck here, otherwise, I would definitely go out and have some fun with you, Little Gao. Hehehe!"
Before leaving, Gongyang Feng taught Gao Jianfei several common methods of poisoning... 1. Put it directly into someone's food or drink. 2. Apply Tiankui powder to places someone is about to touch or come into contact with. 3. Hide the powder under your fingernails and, when you get close to someone, discreetly flick some powder onto their skin.
Gao Jianfei accepted all the instructions, carefully put away the Baotian Kui San (a type of medicine), strictly separating it from the remaining Menghan 'medicine', and then left the Ghost Den.

Chapter 177 Ravaging Sister Hong's Casino
Gao Jianfei, carrying some sleeping pills and Tiankui powder, returned to his bedroom, rested briefly, and then went out for dinner. After that, he tidied up and left home.
Destination... Sister Hong's underground casino.
Hongjie's underground casino was located in Gujing District, one of the four districts and two counties of ZG City. Gao Jianfei took a taxi there.
It was 8 p.m., and the night breeze was enchanting. Although it couldn't compare to the hustle and bustle of big cities, the nightlife in Gujing District was still quite impressive.
Long lines of late-night food stalls had already gathered a large number of young people drinking beer, eating, and chatting without restraint. Some scantily clad prostitutes peeked out from the street corner, occasionally letting out a silvery laugh… “Come on! Big brother, I’m only 15!”
Gao Jianfei had already inquired about the exact location of the casino beforehand, and he strolled towards it.
The closer Gao Jianfei got to the casino, the more he saw groups of thugs loitering around. Most of them were shirtless, revealing intricate tattoos. They smoked cigarettes, arrogantly looking around, sometimes picking up apples or oranges from nearby fruit stands, and the stall owners didn't dare say a word.
Gao Jianfei knew that this area was already within Sister Hong's sphere of influence!
Not far ahead, a huge neon sign was lit up... "Red Square".
This is where Sister Hong's underground casino is located.
This "Red Square" is similar to Chen Yaohui's Imperial Palace, a multi-functional entertainment and leisure center. Of course, the prosperity, extravagance, and wealth of "Red Square" cannot be compared with the Imperial Palace at all.
After all, one is an entertainment venue in a developed coastal city, and the other is an entertainment venue in a small inland city.
Comparing these two is a bit unfair.
However, in one respect, Red Square completely surpasses the Imperial Palace.
Area occupied!
It can be said that Red Square covers an area at least five times larger than the Imperial Palace!
In other words, Red Square's architectural style and decorative exquisiteness are far inferior to the Imperial Palace, but its area is five times that of the Imperial Palace!
There, a huge building loomed over there, resembling a monster with its mouth wide open!
This area is incredibly lively, brightly lit, with hundreds of night market stalls, cigarette stands, and fruit stands set up outside, attracting a huge flow of people!
And people were constantly entering Red Square.
To be fair, this Red Square is the biggest business and asset under Sister Hong's name!
A playful smile appeared on Gao Jianfei's lips. "I wonder if Sister Hong's underground casino is guarded by a world-renowned gambling expert. However, I think the possibility is slim."
Even in coastal cities like Dongxing and Zhengbang, the gambling experts stationed there are only ranked around 100th. Let alone casinos in small inland cities!
Gao Jianfei strode confidently into Red Square. His attire exuded an air of distinction, and the thugs in floral shirts at the entrance greeted him politely with smiles.
After entering Red Square, Gao Jianfei went to the basement, or the first basement level, which was the casino.
big.
This casino is huge!
There are no private rooms, just a large hall.
However, the area of this hall and the gaming tables are 4 to 5 times larger than those of Zheng Bang and Dong Xing casinos!
Thousands of gambling tables were arranged in a staggered manner in the casino hall, which resembled a grand auditorium. In front of each table, many gamblers with bloodshot eyes gleamed with excitement surrounded them.
With a large number of henchmen patrolling around with walkie-talkies, female dealers of varying ages, and loan sharks, there really were more than 5,000 people in this casino hall!
Even with so many people, the hall was large enough that it did not feel crowded.
Gao Jianfei casually strolled around the casino a few times.
He found the casino to be extremely chaotic, filled with smoke and smog, and punctuated by shouts of cursing, swearing, and cheering. There were people speaking with local Guangzhou accents, accents from surrounding cities, and even some from other provinces who spoke Mandarin.
The casino's organizational skills are rather weak; they simply don't know how to manage things. As long as people come in to gamble and there are customers, that's all that matters. In fact, small-scale fights have even broken out near some of the gambling tables. When the casino's henchmen see this, they simply go over and separate the offenders, or kick them out of the casino.
Compared to the casinos in Dongxing and Zhengbang, this place is like the difference between bandits and a regular army!
Gao Jianfei did not rush to gamble; he simply observed the general rules and situation of the casino patiently.
Through observation, Gao Jianfei concluded that... every gambling table here, every hand, has a bet limit of 10 chips. Compared to casinos in major coastal cities, this is indeed rather stingy.
However, this does not mean that this casino's ability to attract money is much weaker than that of casinos in coastal cities.
Although there are betting limits, there are many gambling tables, many gamblers, and many people participating in gambling here.
After observing the situation carefully, Gao Jianfei took out a 100-yuan bill from his wallet and went to the counter to buy a small chip. Then the gambling officially began!
Given Gao Jianfei's gambling skills, playing in a place like this was completely out of place! He first played blackjack and easily won 150,000, then went to play dice, and within half an hour, he had 2 million chips piled up in front of him!
Playing dice is a relatively quick game. The dealer rolls the dice, waits for gamblers to place their bets, and the game is over; a round only takes a few minutes at most.
Although there is a limit of 10 bets per round at the gambling table, there is no limit to how long you can play or how much you can win in total.
Gao Jianfei only bet 10 at a time, but every time, he always wins!
In coastal cities, betting 10 at a time on Sic Bo is already considered a pretty impressive game. But in smaller city casinos, it's extremely rare and impressive!
Before Gao Jianfei arrived, this gambling table usually saw bets of a few hundred or a few thousand, with bets of ten thousand being relatively rare. But Gao Jianfei…
10 per piece!
That's not all. What's terrifying is that every single bet he made turned out to be correct!
Gao Jianfei continued gambling slowly, smoking as he went. In half an hour, he had already won 2 million. This level of winning and losing made this casino truly terrifying!
Later, the dozens of gamblers around the table abandoned their own judgment and all followed Gao Jianfei's betting!
In this way, there's only one loser... the house!
"big!"
"big!"
"big!"
"Small!"
Gao Jianfei led everyone to get rich, winning 23 rounds in a row! He bet 10 times at a time. The gamblers nearby initially tested the waters with small bets, but later they went crazy and bet all the chips in front of them every time!
Win! Win! Win!
The croupier was a young married woman with some freckles on her face, but she was still quite attractive. Her face was as pale as paper!
"Hey! Haha! You won again!" More and more gamblers gathered around!
At first, dozens of people followed Gao Jianfei in placing bets, then it grew to more than a hundred, and then... two or three hundred people!
The gambling table was surrounded by three layers of people!
If it weren't for the fact that it was impossible to squeeze in, probably many more people would have followed Gao Jianfei's lead and placed bets.
Soon, over 6 million chips were piled up in front of Gao Jianfei!
This was absolutely terrifying in Red Square's history!
Gao Jianfei won a lot of money, and the group of gamblers who followed his bets all made a fortune.
At this moment, the dealer shook the dice again, pressed his hands on the dice cup, his jaw clenched, and looked at Gao Jianfei in a panic.
Gao Jianfei smiled and piled up 10 chips... "This hand will definitely be a small one."
Immediately, hundreds of gamblers began betting on the small bet.
"Open! Open! Open!"
A group of people started barking like they'd been injected with adrenaline.
The dealer froze for a few seconds, then shakily lifted the dice cup... Small!
It really is small!
"Wow!" The dealer burst into tears, his crotch instantly becoming wet, clearly from being so frightened that he lost control of his bladder.
To be honest, this casino didn't have the advanced surveillance equipment found in coastal cities. The only people monitoring the situation inside were a few dozen or a hundred henchmen. Finally, a few of them noticed what was happening with Gao Jianfei and rushed over. After watching a couple of hands, they immediately understood…
"...A master gambler has come to cause trouble! A gambling expert has come to cause trouble!"
Several henchmen immediately pulled out walkie-talkies and reported the situation to the resident gambling expert... "Brother Zhao, come quick! Something's wrong! Something's really wrong! A master gambler has come to the casino to cause trouble and has already won nearly 10 million! Brother Zhao, you need to come right away!"
4th floor of Red Square.
The fourth floor of Red Square is a business hotel. Well, to put it bluntly, it's a brothel. It's specifically for guests to bring prostitutes to the hotel for sex.
In a standard room.
The middle-aged man, "Brother Zhao," had just finished with a young woman when he received an urgent call from the casino downstairs. Brother Zhao quickly dressed and rushed out.
Speaking of which, Brother Zhao has been in charge of guarding Sister Hong's casino, and he's basically been idle for years. He's bored to death every day.
