Wang Hong sent a message to Zhang Chunfeng, and after a while, Zhang Chunfeng arrived at Wang Hong's residence.
Wang Hong shared the information he obtained from Elder Brother with him.
"In some time, you should also undergo training. Prepare in advance and have some self-defense items ready. I have a bottle of poison here; you can take it. I've tested it, and it's still effective during the Foundation Building stage. You can apply it to your Spiritual Weapon, and it will take effect immediately upon breaking the skin."
After explaining, Wang Hong handed Zhang Chunfeng two bottles—one containing the poison and the other containing the antidote.
The poison was extracted from the venom of deadly Poisonous Bees, refined through repeated processes, and Wang Hong named it Bee Poison.
Unlike Devouring Spirit Poison, this poison acted quickly. Once the enemy was poisoned, they rapidly lost their combat effectiveness. The downside was that it had to be applied directly to the skin, unlike Devouring Spirit Poison, which could be released into the air invisibly.
"Thanks, senior!"
Zhang Chunfeng took the two bottles, opened the caps, and inspected them.
"Be careful not to poison yourself. This poison takes effect quickly. If you don't take the antidote in time after being poisoned, your blood will clot, and your body will stiffen, making it impossible to detoxify yourself."
Zhang Chunfeng, upon hearing this, carefully closed the lids and placed the two bottles in a secure location.
"While there's no training mission assigned yet, run an errand for me. Go to Azure Void City and find a Foundation Building late-stage cultivator named Liu Changsheng. Give him these two Storage Bags."
Simultaneously, Wang Hong handed Zhang Chunfeng two Storage Bags, each sealed with a self-destructive seal at the mouth. If not opened correctly, the bags would explode.
"Remember, this is confidential. You're the only one who knows about these Storage Bags. They must not fall into the wrong hands. If things go south, you can detonate them."
Since he was establishing an immortal way trading company to sell and conceal Spiritual Objects produced in Space, this was an extra layer of protection. Naturally, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Seeing Wang Hong's serious tone, Zhang Chunfeng carefully tucked the two Storage Bags into his embrace.
Having undertaken many secret missions for Wang Hong in the military before, he had always been meticulous about keeping things confidential, without any mistakes.
Although Zhang Chunfeng had only met the previous Huang Yu and had some speculations about the newly emerged Liu Changsheng, Wang Hong hadn't explicitly told him, so he kept these thoughts to himself.
After leaving Wang Hong's residence, Zhang Chunfeng left the Sect on the same day. With his elevated status in the Foundation Building stage, his freedom had greatly increased.
Now, leaving the Sect for a short period required no formal permission. If the absence exceeded a year, a simple notification to the Sect about his approximate location and expected return sufficed.
Zhang Chunfeng didn't inform Skinny Monkey, Zhao Ning, and others about his entry into Azure Void City.
Since it was a secret mission, the fewer people who knew, the better.
When he found the address Wang Hong provided, it led him to a rather inconspicuous residence. After sending a Transmission Talisman inside, a boy came to open the door after a considerable delay.
"May I ask, senior, what brings you here?" The young boy's face appeared serious, and he asked in a crisp, childlike voice.
Wang Hong handed him a Token, a token given to him by Wang Hong before leaving.
"Give this to Fellow Daoist Liu and tell him an old friend is looking for him."
"Alright, Senior, please wait for a moment."
The disciple took the token and left Zhang Chunfeng at the entrance while walking alone towards the residence.
After a quarter of an hour, the disciple returned with Liu Changsheng following behind.
"Fellow Daoist, sorry to keep you waiting. Please come inside!" Liu Changsheng said, leading the way while asking, "May I know how to address Fellow Daoist?"
Although Liu Changsheng had caught a glimpse of Zhang Chunfeng when he was still in his Huang Yu identity, it was his first time seeing Zhang Chunfeng as himself.
"I am Zhang Chunfeng!"
"So, you are Fellow Daoist Zhang. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Zhang Chunfeng followed behind Liu Changsheng and along the way, he saw several other disciples, each pretending to have a serious expression and acting in a disciplined manner. It was evident that they had undergone specialized training.
Moreover, these disciples all possessed a cultivation level of Qi Cultivation, indicating that they had Spiritual Roots.
Liu Changsheng led Zhang Chunfeng to a secret room and deactivated the isolation formation before inviting Zhang Chunfeng to take a seat.
"These are the items I brought this time. Please inspect them." Zhang Chunfeng handed two Storage Bags that Wang Hong had given him to Liu Changsheng.
After receiving them, Liu Changsheng carefully examined the seals on the Storage Bags. Seeing that the seals were intact without any signs of tampering, he put them away in his embrace.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhang. I also have a Storage Bag here that I need you to take back for me."
As he spoke, Liu Changsheng took out a Storage Bag and handed it to Zhang Chunfeng. The Storage Bag also had a self-destruct seal on it.
After Zhang Chunfeng put away the Storage Bag, he didn't linger and left directly through the city gate, heading towards Qingxu Sect.
When he returned to the sect, the sect's training tasks had already been announced.
He and a group of fellow disciples, including his Elder Brother, were assigned to hunt and kill Demonic Beasts in the Boundary Mountain Range, departing in half a month.
"In half a month, you will be going to hunt demons. This journey will last at least three years. I have a bottle of second-tier Spirit Wine here for you to take, just in case."
When Zhang Chunfeng handed the Storage Bag to Wang Hong, Wang Hong gave him a bottle filled with second-tier Spirit Wine.
Second-tier Spirit Wine was not something easily obtained with Spirit Stones. Firstly, second-tier spirit fruit was hard to find, secondly, it took a long time to brew, and thirdly, it required a suitable place for aging.
"Furthermore, when you are there, there will surely be many demon corpses that no one wants. Please collect them for me as they can be used to refine Essence Core Pills."
Then, Wang Hong gave him a large number of empty Storage Bags. The main reason why people abandoned the corpses of Demonic Beasts in the wild was that they took up too much space.
Most Demonic Beasts were too large in size, and the space inside the Storage Bags mostly ranged from one zhang to ten zhang. Some Storage Bags were even only a few chi in size, barely able to fit a Demonic Beast.
These Storage Bags were prepared hastily by Wang Hong upon hearing Elder Brother's news. In his rush, he only managed to purchase a little over a hundred of them.
Currently, he was lacking Demonic Beast corpses, which meant he didn't have enough Essence Core Pills to consume.
The demon-hunting tree hunted Demonic Beasts, absorbing their essence blood and spiritual energy primarily to strengthen itself, only converting a small portion into those golden seeds that attract Demonic Beasts.
After all, the main purpose of the demon-hunting tree producing those golden seeds was to act as bait, attracting other Demonic Beasts for hunting.
The demon-hunting tree didn't have the noble dedication to make contributions to the Cultivation World through hard work.
Thus, he had to find a way to collect more Demonic Beast corpses to obtain more golden seeds and refine Essence Core Pills.
This opportunity was perfect since Demonic Beasts ran rampant in the Boundary Mountain Range, and there were plenty of slain Demonic Beasts.
It was the time for him to make use of waste and make a fortune. If he didn't think it was too ostentatious, he even wanted to mobilize a large number of fellow disciples to help him collect Demonic Beast corpses.
