Chapter 1243: Chapter 1242 A Minor Punishment Regrettably, even with his "Perspective" ability activated, he couldn’t see through the black wooden box. It seemed as though the box was bound by some special confining power, which kept it securely sealed. In the study room, Lord Bai Long caressed the black wooden box, his eyes filled with greed. "Why can’t it be opened? What exactly is required to open this black wooden box?" Bai Long murmured to himself. He was truly curious about what Lin Zhantian had left behind. Unfortunately, the box was bound by a confining force and, despite his various attempts, he couldn’t open it. He was, after all, an Earth Realm martial artist, but even using the power of an Earth Realm martial artist, he couldn’t break open the box. And the more he couldn’t open it, the more Bai Long believed that the contents of the black wooden box must be incredibly against the heavens. After studying it for more than ten minutes and finding himself still powerless to open it, he could only give up. He sighed and put it away neatly. As for Lin Dong, he had been watching Bai Long attempt various methods to open the black wooden box. He noticed that Lord Bai Long had used flames, water, brute force, and various other methods, and still could not open the black wooden box. This made Lin Dong quite puzzled as well. "What kind of confining power has been placed on this black wooden box, and how can it be opened?" To tell the truth, even if Lin Dong were to try opening it, he felt he would be just as unable. The method to open this black wooden box definitely wasn’t through brute force or external forces such as flames. There must be a technique to open it. It was like a high-level combination lock that couldn’t be opened through brute force, but once you have the combination, it could be opened. The black wooden box must also have some sort of "password" that could open it. As for what it was, Lin Dong didn’t know at the moment. "Swoosh!" Lin Dong saw that after putting away the black wooden box, Lord Bai Long left to enjoy himself in the room. Naturally, he lost interest in watching any further. He changed location and headed elsewhere. Soon, he arrived outside Jin Weishan’s room. He saw Jin Weishan and Jin Yuan’s daughter, Jin Xiushan, in a room, talking about something. "Little sister, just devote yourself to following me, and as long as you do, I will treat you well. I will let you enjoy glory and wealth for a lifetime!" Jin Weishan said to Jin Yuan’s daughter, Jin Xiushan. Jin Xiushan was also quite attractive, about one meter sixty-five in height, and roughly a hundred pounds in weight. Her face was the typical round-faced beauty of Paocai Nation, slightly chubby but without any sense of being overweight. Upon hearing Jin Weishan’s words, Jin Xiushan glared at him with resentment and scolded, "You’re nothing but a beast, my father was so good to you. You actually betrayed him and killed our entire family. How could you be so heartless?" Hearing this, Jin Weishan said gravely, "Sister, if you must blame someone, blame our master for never truly treating me as his disciple, as his adopted son." "Just take that treasure, for example. I merely glanced at it and he scolded me. He said I looked at what I shouldn’t have!" "Moreover, he clearly knew how to concoct Dan medicines, but he wouldn’t teach me the alchemy methods." "Many advanced acupuncture techniques—he wouldn’t teach me. I know he was afraid of teaching his disciple only for the master to starve. That’s why he reserved some of his skills." "He is, after all, the number one practitioner of Eastern Medicine in Paocai Nation. As for me, even being his adopted son, his disciple, I am nothing. I too desire fame and wealth! But he wouldn’t teach me his true skills, preventing me from becoming a world-renowned famous doctor..." Hearing this, Jin Xiushan couldn’t help but say, "Why don’t you consider your own shortcomings?" "Have you ever thought that my father didn’t teach you those things, not because he didn’t want to? It’s because your talent is lacking, and you simply can’t learn them!" "Moreover, my father was kind to you. He adopted you, an orphan, so you wouldn’t starve to death. He taught you medical arts so you could live in comfort. Doing all these, he has been a great benefactor to you." "Instead of thinking about how to repay the man who showed you kindness, you harbor resentment because he did not teach you alchemy or make your name renowned. Such behavior is no better than that of a beast..." "Pop!!" Jin Weishan slapped Jin Xiushan across the face and then sneered, "Shut your mouth!" "Jin Xiushan, I’ll give you another three days to think. If you’re not willing to follow me wholeheartedly, heh, then prepare yourself for death." "When the time comes, I’ll play with you and then offer you to the people of the Black Sorcerer Palace." "Guess how they’ll treat you?" Hearing this, Jin Xiushan shook uncontrollably, pointing at Jin Weishan with immense fear, her voice trembling: "You... you are a demon!" "Haha... Yes, I am a demon. But in this world, it’s often demons like me, the ’beasts’ as you call them, who live better lives," laughed Jin Weishan before turning his head and leaving the room. He locked Jin Xiushan in the room. Jin Xiushan started crying, "Father, where are you? Come and save your daughter. Come and carve up this beastly disciple of yours." "He’s too bad, too bad." After locking Jin Xiushan up, Jin Weishan went to another room. In that other room, he had brought back a female star from Dragon Country. At the moment, he was preparing to vent his frustrations on the Dragon Country’s female star. After entering the room, he said to that Dragon Country’s female star, "Roll over here. Serve me well tonight, or I’ll throw you into the sea to feed the fish." The Dragon Country’s woman shivered with fear; having seen the brutality of the bandits on this island, she knew they were capable of anything. To survive, she could only obediently move towards Jin Weishan. Ready to satisfy all his demands. However, neither Jin Weishan nor she knew that at the moment, someone had secretly shot in a Inner Qi Silver Needle from outside the room. That person was, of course, Lin Dong. He had witnessed all of Jin Weishan’s actions just now, and this time, he shot out another Inner Qi Silver Needle. Just like he had dealt with Xiao Mingxuan before, he was now dealing with Jin Weishan. The Inner Qi Silver Needle pierced into his Guanyuan Acupoint, rendering his manhood completely useless. Jin Weishan was full of rage, wanting to take it out on the Dragon Country’s female star. But he discovered that he was impotent. "What’s going on?" he wondered in surprise. The Dragon Country’s woman looked at him oddly, realizing he was a ’fake eunuch’. Seeing the Dragon Country’s woman looking at him with such an unusual gaze, his face flushed with embarrassment, he said, "Damn it, I’m not in the mood today." "Wait until tomorrow, and see how I’ll deal with you!" After saying this, he hurriedly left, not wanting to lose face in front of this Dragon Country’s woman. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖 Lin Dong at the moment shook his head; rendering Jin Weishan and Xiao Mingxuan impotent was just a minor punishment. Letting them off so easily would certainly be too lenient. The final trial, the ultimate punishment, would have to wait until the day after tomorrow during the Black Sorcerer Sacramental Ceremony. At that time, he would let them understand the fate of serving as ’beasts’ and ’dogs’ for the Black Sorcerer Palace! "Whoosh!" Lin Dong then disappeared from the spot. Afterward, he didn’t explore this villa area anymore but headed for Blood Cliff. The Black Sorcerer Sacramental Ceremony the day after tomorrow would take place in that cave at Blood Cliff. That cave, emanating endless strangeness, was where Lin Dong planned to investigate tonight. Thinking this, he no longer hesitated, using concealment skills to merge his body into the darkness and headed towards the dark cave at Blood Cliff...
