My Journey to Immortality
Ch 28 - Exposed to Poison

Suja shook her head slowly and entered the battle, she helped Wu Dao by paralyzing one by one the Lu family's followers.

DOR DOR DOR……!!!!!

The sound of gunfire echoed making the fight stop, the sound of the shot came from Suja who managed to shoot the head of a Nascent Soul whiz who attacked Cing Cia to death because the hero did not focus on the defense of the back.

"KAAAUUU…...!!!!!" Lu Yan growled and launched a site attack using his Qi.

Suja had not had time to take any anticipatory action, the Qi energy enveloping the attack hit him making him retreat five steps back.

"""YOUNG MASTER/BROTHER XI!!!""".

Cing Cia and Wu Dao instantly moved closer to Suja, Suja herself was still coughing and vomiting blood because Lu Yan's previous attack had left her with serious internal injuries.

As Suja tried to treat her internal injuries, she spewed out black-colored blood and also her face started to turn pale white.

As he drained his mana he sensed something foreign gnawing at his body slowly, something foreign was blocking his blood vessels and some of his meridians made the flow of Mana he was flowing obstructed.

Wu Dao and Cing Cia realized what was happening with Suja, Cing Cia looked at Lu Yan ferociously and launched a power attack in using all of her Qi.

While all the other Suja followers were still fighting, one of Lu Yan's followers quietly threw a precise needle attack on Suja's hand.

Wu Dao who saw the needle instantly retracted it, he could see that the needle was covered in a Qi-protected poison liquid so that whatever happened the poison that was in the needle would not disappear unless the needle stuck in its target.

"Poisons?!" Wu Dao's screeches distracted Suqian and the others, the opportunity Lu Yan and his followers used to attack all of Suja's bodyguards.

Suqian and the others were not perceptive enough as they were distracted by Wu Dao's screeches, they were hit by an attack that left them with deep wounds far more serious than Suja's.

Lu Yan took his son's body and fled from there, while Suja and her guards were rescued by the Blue Scale Restaurant Cultivators who had been silent from the beginning and did not interfere even during the clashes.

Other than Suja, the condition of all her bodyguards started to improve as they swallowed the pills given by the Association, while Suja had her condition only slightly improved after drinking the glass of Heavenly Water that Tasya had given her.

"Cing Cia, the poison used to attack the young master is red scorpion venom. Other than the Grandmaster Pill, no Alchemist was capable of making medicinal pills for the young master" Wu Dao and Cing Cia limp at Suqian's words.

The red scorpion poison is a poison that belongs to the 10 strongest poisons that exist in the Eastern Star Continent, there are already many cultivators who died when exposed to this poison.

"Senior, can't we ask the Association for help? Didn't brother Xi say he had a relationship with the Association?".

Suqian and Cing Cia patted their forehead, they only realized that. To the knowledge of Wu Dao Suja was one of the families of the Association's customers and had a friendly relationship with the Association's founder, whom Wu Dao was unaware of the young man he called the brother was the original owner of the Association.

Suqian and Cing Cia laughed crisply, they then asked one of the Core Formation masters to call the manager of the Xudong City branch Association who had only been established three weeks ago.

Before long manager Lim walked into the room where Suja was laid, he brought a middle-aged man with him who was dressed like a healer.

"Senior, introduce this Alchemist level Furnance King. Junior took him to check on the condition of the young master, would senior allow it?" Suqian, Cing Cia, and Wu Dao looked at each other as well as the other heroes.

"Senior, can senior allow this senior to check on brother Xi?" Suqian looked at Wu Dao and then at the Alchemist that manager Lim was carrying, after thinking for a moment he then nodded.

Wu Dao and Cing Cia stepped aside to let the Alchemist work, they saw how the expression changes in the Alchemist's nature before sighing deeply.

"Senior, I can't cure this young master. But I can give you a potion that can ease his pain for at least seven days, more than that senior should look for an Alchemist higher than me".

Wu Dao and Suqian stared at each other, at least they had hope and time to look for a Grandmaster Pill that could cure Suja.

"What are the ingredients?".

The alchemist scribbled down a few things on the paper, then gave them to Suqian.

"Honey Grass, Silver Grass, Heavenly Water, and Sky Blue Grass. Hmm the ingredients are there but we are out of stock, wait a moment for my subordinates to pick them up at the Association" Wu Dao nodded while manager Lim and the Alchemist were stunned.

Anyone already knew the strength of the Blue Batik Association, although this Association was only a few months standing but already had the ability to defend themselves.

The attack of the Black Tiger Sect trying to take over this Association alone ended miserably, in addition to losing dozens of people these Black Tiger sect members also lost some of their important elders.

Trying to tease the Association was the same as waking up its guards, the strength of the Association was completely unknown to them but with the defeat of the Black Tiger Sect proving that this new Association was not worth underestimating.

"Emmm, senior?" The Alchemist who was near those heroes seemed to have been unable to contain his curiosity.

"What's wrong?" The Core Formation whiz who was there took over the conversation at Suqian's request.

"Sorry seniors, if this junior can find out. Who are these seniors and young masters? Sorry if this junior question offends seniors" Suqian looked at Cing Cia and her subordinates.

Manager Lim and the Alchemist were already upset because they felt they had offended someone they should not offend, the Alchemist condemned his curiosity which always left him in a situation that always got him into trouble.

"Hmm that's okay, our young master also didn't ask us to hide our true selves and didn't forbid if we told others.

I am Suqian, one of the first cultivators of the Blue Batik Association and become the head guard of our young master. The lying young man was our young master, as well as the sole owner of the Blue Batik Association" Wu Dao, Manager Lim, the Alchemist, and some cultivators belonging to the Blue Scale Restaurant were shocked and gaping wide.

They stared at the bedridden young man who was in the guest room of Blue Scale Restaurant, Manager Lim himself did not expect him to serve such a high-ranking and important young man just a moment ago.

"Oh yes, one more thing. Our young master is the last descendant of the Xiao Clan and the Tang Clan, so you could say he is a member of the imperial family because the Queen Mother is her aunt the older brother of our young master's father, so he had a direct cousin relationship with Emperor Tang Lei Han or a contemporary named Xiao Chen".

Now it was Wu Dao's turn to be stunned, it was only a moment when he finished calming down after learning the true identity of his foster brother. 

Suja's identity as Emperor Han's cousin really made Wu Dao almost vomit blood, manager Lim and the Alchemist themselves felt their bodies go limp upon hearing that one.

"Cing Cia, did you tell me that? See, the boy Wi until looks almost fainted knowing the identity of the young master" Suqian was astonished by Cing Cia, she was delighted to exalt the name Suja after becoming one of their young master's prospective concubines.

"Why senior? Something wrong if they know who Suja really is?".

"Of course it's wrong! If any intruder from the Black Tiger Sect were to hear from afar using Divine Sense, the safety of the young master and the rest of the imperial family could be threatened!" Suqian was astonished, did the status as a prospective concubine of one of the imperial family members make Cing Cia's brain jammed?.

Suqian and the other three Nascent Soul whizzes lectured Cing Cia for quite a while, they did not like it when Cing Cia spread the identity of their young master at will.

Although the Association had strength, but if Patriarch Xu Yi of the Black Tiger Sect again brought his alliance to attack then they could not fight back.

Although they could fight back, the losses they experienced would be so great.

Cing Cia was downcast hearing all the hospitality of her seniors, she admitted her act of opening up the identity of Suja was tantamount to inviting the Tiger to the nest of a young Lion.
