"Older sister, please, I've nothing to hide," I said.
Immediately, her expressions turned dour, definitely not because I said I didn't have anything, but because her charms didn't work.
"I find it strange that you aren't moved by this lady's charms, wouldn't you say this is suspicious?" said Dan Ryo, and he was clearly trying to instigate something.
Hell, hath no fury as a woman scorned.
And if I don't resolve this, this very lovely looking lady, and clearly on the verge of becoming an ascendant might burn me down along with this whole forest.
"Oh, no, not at all… it's that, I'm impotent." I said, but I really wasn't. "And if you don't believe me you can check," I said as I made the attempt to pull down my pants.
"HOLD! Ain't no real man would call themselves impotent, you must be what you just said then."
"Yes, my yang channels were broken. So, there is no way I can you…know…"
"Just stop talking." The man said, clearly uncomfortable with me speaking so openly about my 'little brother'.
'That overflowing toxic masculinity of yours is really what's saving my life, thanks for being such a primitive person.'
"Such a shame, I could have used someone like you as a plaything…" the woman said.
"As would I have liked to," I replied, "But I'm unable to satisfy your needs, there are better men to do that job. I hope I didn't bother you too much, I'll be continuing my pilgrimage if that is alright with you."
"Yes you can go," said the old man, and immediately I felt the hair on my neck stand.
Immediately, I noticed that the whole scenery around me froze, as the world turned to monochrome color.
I was frozen in time? Perhaps, I don't know but this is clearly Domain.
"Why did you use your domain?" spoke the woman.
"I really doubt that he isn't the same person. I'll have to check his inventory."
"You really aren't afraid of heaven's punishment," said the woman.
"Like you are afraid of it, if he is the same man who went to that third rate sect, and cured all of them, then that saint Qi crystal must still be on his person. So, are you still afraid of heaven's punishment?"
"True, but it really is unfair to this man, I mean his luck in life is already bad, he can't even have children, why must he suffer. What will you do when he actually has nothing on him?"
"I don't know, leave maybe." Said Dan Ryo.
"You really are more shameless than I am, and I'm a step away at becoming a harlot." The woman said while sighing. "Hurry up, we don't want other cultivators to come and find us."
"Right," said the old man and went to my side pouch.
I felt like I could easily break this Domain, and immediately leave. But if I were to do that, I might make them wary of me. So, I left them to do whatever they wanted, unless it's a threat to my life they can search for all they want.
The bald man pulled my pouch and began rummaging through it.
"Shit." Said the old man.
"What's wrong?"
"There is nothing of value here. He has a lot of pills though, nothing of great value to us, but they are mostly medical of nature. He must be an Alchemist, but I didn't find a cauldron on him."
"That's strange, wasn't the person who went to that sect also a medical person?" the woman said.
"Well, they did call him medical saint, but after interrogating them, do you remember what they all said?"
"Yes, he never used a pill, and he was an inscriber more than a healer. So, this man is definitely a different person. Ah, that pill," the woman said and snatched it from Dan Ryo's hands.
"This is such a high purity pill, let me see that one," she said and took another, then began inspecting them one after another.
"This is rather impressive; his alchemy skill is out of this world. Could he be some elusive master? No, that Impossible his cultivation level is too low, the qi released from his body is that of a Core Realm cultivator." The woman said while she continued inspecting the pills, then she touched one she shouldn't have.
It was a poison pill made from the remains of the Demonic Toad I found in the demon lands. There was a poison on its skin that could cause flesh and skin to deteriorate at an extremely rapid pace, not even a half-step ascendant can suppress it unless one has the proper treatment.
This very poison, even I didn't dare to consume, since it was far stronger than my immunity system.
"What is this!" the woman said as her hand began blackening, she threw the pill and pulled a bottle of clear translucent and pale blue water and poured it on her hands.
The blackness lessened, then raged once again and began moving up towards her elbow.
"What the heck is going on?" asked Dan Ryo.
"I have no idea, but this must be a powerful poison, I have to go back to the sect, and see if the sect master can treat it. Let's go."
"Okay, give me a moment," the man said and placed all the pills back into my pouch, even the Dark Flesh Corrosion Pill, he used his divine sense on it to coat it with a telekinetic coating and placed it then put everything back to my pouch.
He then disabled his domain and said, "We'll be leaving,"
"Oh, right."
And just as they were about to leave, I said, "Huh, I must be getting old, when did you interact with the Dark Flesh Corrosion?" I asked acting all surprised.
The woman turned to me and said, "So you know what this is?"
"Yes, but I'm sure I saw your hand before and it wasn't black. Hmm, perhaps you had it suppressed. Anyway, I can treat that if you wish." I said.
The two masters took a moment to look at each other before they turned to me.
'Well now, you brought this on yourself, but I'll magnanimously treat your poison, that'll incur debt, and getting a powerful cultivator owing you a favor is really good.'
