I Use My Secondary Job To Add Talents

Chapter 22: Transfer

Song Fulu appeared at the door, looking at the fallen Cui Liangliang on the ground, a trace of gloom crossed his face.

Although he didn't know who this assassin was, Song Fulu already had some speculations in his mind.

He lifted the masked cloth of the other party and searched through their belongings. Besides weapons, detoxification medicine, and poison, there was hardly anything else.

The other party's appearance was also somewhat unfamiliar, but this was normal. Song Fulu had only been in Passing River City for a few months, and most of the time he stayed in the Pharmacy Department, rarely leaving and naturally being unaware of the outside situation.

But just because he didn't know, didn't mean others didn't know.

After a moment of consideration, Song Fulu snapped Cui Liangliang's neck and threw the body into Ma Qingshan's courtyard nearby before quietly returning to his room.

One must not have malicious intentions, but one must not be without precautions. Since Song Fulu knew that the Crimson Tiger Gang and the Passing River Association were at odds, and the conflicts had been escalating recently, how could he not be on guard?

Ma Qingshan had also repeatedly reminded him to be careful when going out, so as not to be targeted by the Passing River Association.

Previously, there were also capable pharmacists from the Pharmacy Department who were assassinated by the Passing River Association. Ma Qingshan had told them about these things. If they still didn't take precautions, then they would be too foolish.

Therefore, under Ma Qingshan's guidance, Song Fulu had long practiced the branch of alchemy known as toxicology, and had cultivated it to a high level.

The poison that had just incapacitated Cui Liangliang was the Mortal Level superior poison, Rosemary, which was also the only Mortal Level superior poison that Song Fulu had mastered.

Every night before going to bed, Song Fulu would evenly spread it around his room. In addition to Rosemary, there were several other poisons in the room, forming a small poison network.

Even though Cui Liangliang had taken detoxification pills and preemptively consumed detoxification medicine, he still couldn't resist the Rosemary.

But this also sounded the alarm for Song Fulu, making him even more cautious in his actions and leaving behind more contingency plans.

In the early morning, Cui Liangliang's body was discovered, and Ma Qingshan's courtyard quickly became chaotic, not stopping until dawn.

Early in the morning, Ma Qingshan gathered all the pharmacists for a meeting, his expression extremely solemn. "I'm sure some of you have already heard about what happened last night. Another Interior Refinement Martial Artist from the Passing River Association infiltrated the Pharmacy Department and attempted to assassinate our pharmacists. Fortunately, a skilled member of our gang happened to pass by and killed him, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

At this point, Ma Qingshan glanced at Song Fulu. "Although we don't know who the target was, everyone should be more cautious during this period of time and keep more poisons around the house, so as not to give the people from the Passing River Association an opportunity."

After the meeting dispersed, Ma Qingshan specifically called Song Fulu to his study. "Xiaofu, based on my speculation, the Passing River Association assassin last night was most likely targeting you. After all, you are currently the most likely genius in our Pharmacy Department to break through to a High Level pharmacist. The other pharmacists don't have this potential."

"Take this Hundred Poisons Scripture and study it when you have time. At least it will increase your self-defense capabilities. I also have some Rosemary, Heart-Piercing Poison, Ten-Day Itch... They can save your life in critical moments. Regular detoxification pills won't be of any use. You should also carry some self-defense items."

"Thank you, Manager Ma. I understand," Song Fulu said earnestly, showing even more respect for Ma Qingshan.

Although there was inevitably a utilitarian motive, as the manager, Ma Qingshan had really taken good care of him.

After pondering for a moment, Ma Qingshan spoke up, "Apart from that, it would be best for you not to go out during this period, especially at night. Our Crimson Tiger Gang and Passing River Association have been engaged in increasingly intense conflicts over resources in the past year, resulting in more and more casualties and causing frequent appearances of evil creatures. Many people have already gone missing at night."

"As the headquarters of the Crimson Tiger Gang, we have many experts here and are protected by formations, so it is relatively safer. If there is anything you need, let the apprentices handle it. Try not to go out and wait for this period to pass."

It is well known that most evil creatures are formed by humans. The more people die, the more evil creatures there will be, especially those who die in gang fights, as they are more likely to turn into evil creatures.

In addition to evil creatures, there are even more terrifying anomalies, but anomalies are difficult to form and not easily generated.

Song Fulu had heard about this a long time ago, so he had been going out less during this period. Ma Qingshan's suggestion was exactly what he had in mind, so he immediately agreed.

Now that Song Fulu could enrich his own pockets through refining the Five Supplement Pills, he was temporarily not lacking in cultivation resources, and his need to go out had also decreased significantly.

Back in the alchemy room, Song Fulu did not immediately start refining pills. Instead, he took out the Hundred Poison Scripture and began to carefully read it.

This was a book comparable to a high-level martial art in the Mortal Level, its value not inferior to that of rare grass books, and even surpassing them.

Under normal circumstances, Song Fulu would need to spend a large amount of contribution points, plus over a hundred taels of gold to obtain it. But now Ma Qingshan had given it to him directly, saving Song Fulu a considerable amount of contribution points and gold.

The Hundred Poison Scripture detailed the application and principles of poison techniques. As long as one followed the steps, they could become a high-level poison master. There were also many poison formulas inside, including but not limited to rosemary, heart-piercing poison, ten-day itch... many of which were quite valuable.

Previously, Song Fulu had only obtained a basic poison book from the Golden Classics Tower and bought a few poison formulas from others. It was incomparable to the Hundred Poison Scripture.

As long as he could master the Hundred Poison Scripture, Song Fulu's poison techniques would improve several times, but unfortunately, poison masters were a branch of alchemists, otherwise he would have had another secondary occupation.

But after cultivating diligently for so long, it was time to learn another secondary occupation. The ways to obtain Free Talent Points were still too few.

After completing today's tasks and refining two more furnaces of Five Supplement Pills, Song Fulu had four of them in his pocket and hurried towards the Golden Classics Tower.

After accumulating for a while, he had enough to exchange for a high-level Mortal Level book. This time, Song Fulu set his sights on the True Explanation of Formations.

As the name suggests, this was a book about learning the way of formations, and it was almost certain to belong to one of the secondary occupations. Although it was extremely difficult, with Song Fulu's current Auxiliary Talent, it was not difficult to practice and master it.

After spending only a few hours, Song Fulu had grasped the True Explanation of Formations and gained another secondary occupation.

Mastered secondary occupation: Formation Technique (Level 1).

With the advancement of Formation Technique to Level 1, Song Fulu gained another Free Talent Point. After considering it for a while, he added it to his Auxiliary Talent.

As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the cutting of firewood. The higher the Auxiliary Talent, the faster the speed of improving the secondary occupation, and the faster the acquisition of Free Talent Points.

In this way, the Cultivation Talent could gain more Free Talent Point bonuses, and the Cultivation Realm would also improve rapidly.

At this moment, Song Fulu also learned the identity of the assassin from last night.
