Mr. Zhang felt a terrible premonition the moment he heard Lin Xiaotian's words, his eyes filled with dread.
His voice trembled, "You mean... those Myriad Poison Spider eggs have already entered my body?"
"You were planting a蛊 (gu) on me just now?"
"Who exactly are you?"
He was now extremely suspicious of Lin Xiaotian's identity.
He even doubted if the medicine Lin Xiaotian had produced was real. How could someone who dealt with蛊 worms also know how to refine medicine?
The most crucial point was that the蛊 worm was the extremely rare Myriad Poison Spider silk.
The thought of the terrifying consequences of such a thing sent a shiver down his spine.
Fear gradually surfaced in his eyes, "Lin Xiaotian, you never intended to let me go. Don't think I don't know, once the Myriad Poison Spider silk comes into contact with flesh and blood, the consequences will be horrific."
"I don't want you to do anything now."
"I will end myself quickly!"
With that, he unhesitatingly brought his palm towards his own heart meridian.
He would rather sever his own heart meridian than die from the Myriad Poison Spider.
However, as soon as he raised his hand, Lin Xiaotian flicked a silver needle.
His arm froze mid-air, just a few centimeters from his heart meridian.
His eyes were filled with disbelief and shock, especially seeing the silver needle lodged in his arm, which had instantly halted all his actions.
Lin Xiaotian smiled, "Even if you want to die in front of me, you need my permission."
"If I haven't allowed you to die, you must live."
"I said I was just putting a shackle on you, not to put you to death."
"Stay put obediently!"
Mr. Zhang was now rigid, his eyes filled with fear, "Why?"
"We should have no enmity. Although I wanted to trouble you for my son's matters, I have already witnessed your strength and apologized to you."
"Why are you still treating me so ruthlessly?"
"Even if there are conflicts between your Tian Luo Di Wang and you, it shouldn't be directed at me!"
He still believed Lin Xiaotian was holding a grudge for what had happened before, and he felt some regret.
If he had listened to Daoist Ku Mu and not sought trouble with Lin Xiaotian so easily, perhaps this situation wouldn't have occurred.
But there was no medicine for regret in this world.
Lin Xiaotian smiled faintly, "You said earlier that you would bring me those precious medicinal herbs."
"I don't trust many people from your Tian Luo Di Wang, because their words are less reliable than farts."
"They turn their backs on you in an instant, I've seen such things too often."
"And now, I'm just letting you experience how enjoyable the real Myriad Poison Spider is."
Mr. Zhang's heart sank.
Someone would call the Myriad Poison Spider enjoyable?
His eyes were filled with terror, "Mr. Lin, I realize my mistake. I deeply apologize for what happened before. Please give me another chance. I promise I will never do anything excessive again."
"I know that once this thing acts up, it won't stop."
"Those Myriad Poison Spiders are bloodthirsty and frenzied; nothing can stop them."
This was merely what he understood about the Myriad Poison Spider. He had no idea how potent it was in Lin Xiaotian's hands.
A smile appeared on Lin Xiaotian's face, "Don't rush. Just a few minutes is enough. You should be able to feel the incubation progress of those little things now."
"Once you feel that wonderful process, I will make those little things fall into slumber."
"How is that possible?" Mr. Zhang's face was filled with shock.
If someone could truly achieve such a feat, they would be invincible.
By simply using the Myriad Poison Spider silk, they could control countless people to serve them.
He even suspected that Daoist Ku Mu had already become Lin Xiaotian's puppet.
At this moment, Daoist Ku Mu's pupils also contracted violently.
He had never imagined Lin Xiaotian possessed such a ruthless method. If Lin Xiaotian had used such a method to control him before, could he have escaped?
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "You are now powerless to resist, like fish on my chopping board. How I deal with you is entirely up to my whim."
"So, there's no need for you to think about resisting here."
"Since you cannot resist, then enjoy it slowly!"
As time ticked by, Mr. Zhang's forehead became increasingly covered in cold sweat. He could feel the pain intensifying.
At this moment, his fear had reached its peak. He couldn't imagine the horror of being turned into a spider's nest.
"Looking at you, you should have realized the situation you are currently in."
Lin Xiaotian walked over with a smile, a small pill appearing between his fingers. This was something he had prepared in advance. Since he knew this old fellow was coming, why waste time?
As long as he could control this guy, he could ask whatever he wanted and find out whatever he needed to know.
"Eat this. It will be good for you."
"I believe you can feel the painful process clearly, but you can still grit your teeth and not make a sound. You are indeed quite tough."
"However, no matter how tough you are, you cannot resist the torment."
Mr. Zhang swallowed the pill without a moment's hesitation.
At this instant, he felt the little things inside his body stop moving. Disbelief showed on his face. He immediately looked towards Daoist Ku Mu.
"Have you long been one of Mr. Lin's people?"
Daoist Ku Mu shook his head like a rattle drum, "I really am not. I never saw Mr. Lin use such methods before."
Lin Xiaotian smiled, "The old Daoist's strength is too low for me to use such a thing."
"After all, cultivating Myriad Poison Spider silk is a bit troublesome."
Daoist Ku Mu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, secretly feeling fortunate.
Fortunately, his strength was not enough for Lin Xiaotian to care about him. Otherwise, he might be in the same situation as Mr. Zhang right now.
It was too dangerous.
For the first time in his life, he felt that being weak was a good thing.
