Xu Le snapped his fingers, and a dark, ghostly figure floated beside him. In the blurry face, a pair of eyes that gleamed red could be vaguely seen.
The ghost drifted aimlessly, its red-glowing eyes devoid of any reason, filled instead with a dazed expression, as if it were merely a machine awaiting orders.
The origin of this ghost is quite coincidental. It was a naturally awakened superhuman, albeit with rather weak abilities. Its power stemmed from a physical mutation—enlarging a part of its body to gain superhuman strength. (Well, in some ways, it wasn't so bad!)
The key point is that ever since this guy awakened, he thinks he is some kind of destined protagonist, and he uses this power to do evil everywhere, forcing girls to fill his harem, and he has succeeded in doing so, which makes him extremely confident.
Whether he was too discreet or too weak, Na Du Tong didn't bother with him, which made him think he was the only superhuman in the world, and he was just short of changing his name to Long Aotian.
A few days ago, when he was shopping with a girl he had just forced into his harem, the girl happened to glance at Xu Le a few times. Then, seeing that Xu Le was too handsome and had a good temperament, he became jealous and decided to beat him up when no one was around.
To Xu Le's surprise, the so-called urban overlord was knocked unconscious and had his arms and legs broken before he could even make a move, and was brought before Xu Le.
Xu Le didn't remember what this guy's name was, it was some weird name. But the timing of this guy's arrival was good, it just happened to be when Xu Le had finished practicing the Spirit Binding Technique. It was a good opportunity to kill him and test the effect of this ultimate skill.
Xu Le remembered that when this guy was thrown in front of him with his arms and legs broken, he was still rude and told Xu Le to surrender and join his ranks so that he could consider giving Xu Le a general's position after conquering the world.
For this kind of delusional teenager, Xu Le directly used the power of the Sheep Talisman to extract his soul and read his memories. He found that it was a miracle that this kind of mentally challenged genius could live so freely for so long without being discovered.
However, even though this guy was enslaved by the Spirit Binding and Commanding system, he still had enough consciousness and his resistance was too strong. Although he still obeyed orders, his efficiency was too low and did not meet Xu Le's expectations.
Compared to the Shadow Warrior, this thing lacked sufficient strength, only capable of dealing with ordinary people, and also lacked any medical or fortune-telling skills. Therefore, Xu Le simply erased its consciousness.
In the past, this might have been difficult, but since the ever-present Heavenly Dao consciousness began to analyze the laws for him, it has already begun to analyze the soul laws represented by the Sheep Talisman and has transferred this knowledge into Xu Le's mind.
Therefore, the only thing Xu Le needs to do now is to temper his mind. After all, without a mind that matches his strength, he will ultimately achieve nothing. So, apart from sending shadow warriors to monitor these important figures, Xu Le has been reading books.
Xu Le has a wide range of reading interests, from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching to the Confucian Four Books and Five Classics, as well as famous Chinese and foreign works and strange tales. Basically, as long as it has enough value, it is within his exclusive scope.
Knowledge is power. Xu Le believes this statement is very true, so he spends his spare time enriching himself and constantly expanding his knowledge base to prepare for any unexpected situations that may arise in the future.
Xu Le flicked his finger, and the magic of the sheep talisman bloomed. Accompanied by the ghost's wailing, its smoke-like body developed cracks similar to shattered glass, and then exploded instantly, turning into countless blue fluorescent lights, like fireflies in the night sky, slowly disappearing.
"Trash, what a waste of my time." Xu Le felt that he could no longer confine these trashy souls; it was a waste of time and energy. From now on, he would focus on high-quality products.
Xu Le put down his drink, slowly walked to the door, opened it, and saw a girl with long black hair standing outside, her emerald green eyes as pure as amber.
Xu Le gestured for the girl to come in, and looking at her expressionless face, casually asked, "Chen Duo, how long have you been waiting?"
Shadow warriors were everywhere. The moment Chen Duo arrived at the apartment building, she was reported to Xu Le by one of the shadow warriors, so Xu Le knew the purpose of the board of directors sending this girl here.
Xu Le just wanted to see how stamina this little girl had. Unexpectedly, from nine in the morning to three in the afternoon, after ringing the doorbell once, the little girl stood outside silently waiting for Xu Le to open the door.
"Six hours, twenty-three minutes, and forty-two seconds."
The girl replied expressionlessly. She followed Xu Le into the house, seemingly without any precautions. She took off her shoes, revealing her smooth little feet, and put on the rabbit slippers Xu Le had given her as she walked into the living room. Although her expression was calm, Xu Le still noticed a flicker in her eyes when she saw the rabbit slippers.
Chen Duo sat in the corner of the sofa, sitting upright and keeping a distance from Xu Le.
A golden light flashed in Xu Le's eyes, and his divine sense covered Chen Duo's body, beginning to examine every part of her.
Chen Duo felt a force recklessly rummaging through her body. Her eyes, which had been as still as water, began to ripple slightly, but when she saw the golden light flashing in Xu Le's eyes, she calmed down again, staring intently at Xu Le with a hint of expectation hidden in that calmness.
"Interesting! What an amazing refining method, but it seems it's not quite finished yet."
Xu Le's divine sense first passed through the clothes and saw Chen Duo's youthful body. Although she had not yet developed, she already had a certain charm. However, when he began to examine the flesh and blood through the skin...
Chen Duo appears no different from an ordinary person, but her body contains countless tiny worms wriggling in her blood. Her blood vessels are different from those of ordinary people, intertwined like the gnarled roots of an old tree. What is most disgusting is her internal organs, which seem to have been combined by a strange force into a wriggling mass of flesh. Within this mass, one can sense powerful Qi and a large number of Gu worms dormant. This does not resemble a human body, but rather a Gu-refining pot.
A Gu-refining pot made from flesh and in its most perfect form is the best Gu-refining tool theoretically pursued by the Medicine Immortal Society, also known as the Gu-body Saint Child.
Xu Le slowly walked up to Chen Duo, reached out and stroked her smooth and tender face, then slowly moved down her face and touched the "dog collar" around her neck, which was the explosive device used by the board of directors to control Chen Duo.
Although she seemed to have changed locations and received a lot of care and love, Chen Duo was still only used as a tool.
Chen Duo's neck was slender and fair, extremely sexy. Xu Le gently stroked it twice, as smooth as touching the egg white of a hard-boiled egg. Underneath her brown coat was a green protective suit that covered her entire body.
Xu Le's right hand parted the tight green protective suit and reached inside.
Chen Duo could no longer remain calm and couldn't help but shout, "Wait!"
However, Xu Le showed no sign of stopping. After reaching inside, he casually rubbed his hands a few times, then looked at Chen Duo, whose face was slightly flushed, and slowly pulled his hands out.
Xu Le's fingers turned black, the poison spreading from the fingertips downwards, instantly turning Xu Le's palms black, and it showed no signs of stopping, instead spreading to his wrist and penetrating deep into his blood vessels.
Xu Le could feel the poison trying to coagulate his blood and destroy his cellular structure, but it was defended by his own immune system, which delayed the spread of the toxin. If it were someone else, they might die instantly, but Xu Le's palm was indeed invaded by the toxin.
Chen Duo pulled her bodysuit up a bit, straightened her underwear which Xu Le had crumpled up, and the blush on her cheeks hadn't faded yet.
She looked up at Xu Le's dark palm, the expectation in her eyes fading. She had come to believe that Xu Le couldn't fight her poison or cure her. Her hopes had been dashed again. Although she was used to it, she knew Uncle Liao would be heartbroken.
Despite her disappointment, she remembered Uncle Liao's instructions and realized that he seemed to be a very important person. She reminded him, "If you want to live, cut off that hand. That way, at least you can ensure that the poison won't enter your body."

The skin on the back of Xu Le's hand became keratinized under the influence of the Gu poison, turning it as black and hard as a stone.
Hearing Chen Duo's reminder, Xu Le smiled dismissively. A faint golden glow appeared in his right palm, and the originally menacing Gu poison was instantly dissolved in the face of this golden light. The black substance on Xu Le's right hand faded away, and his skin returned to normal.
Chen Duo grabbed Xu Le's right hand and kept rubbing his hands, which were covered by protective clothing, as if to confirm whether it was real or not.
After a while, she looked up at Xu Le and asked incredulously, "How did you do that?"
Xu Le stared at Chen Duo with ill intent and used the same method as before to extract some Gu poison. However, this time he did not use the horse talisman to remove the Gu poison, but instead sent a portion of the toxins to the Heavenly Dao in his inner world for analysis.
