The Strongest Curse Master: Start by refining the Seven Arrows Book

Inside a room at the Cleaver Academy's affiliated inn, Fang Che, like a venomous snake in the shadows, stared with cold eyes at the words on the white paper, repeatedly kowtowing.

Every four kowtows, Fang Che would tear off a sheet of white paper and toss it aside.

The stack of intact white paper on the table dwindled, while the pile of paper scraps on the floor grew.

Tiger Fang Mercenary Group's Headquarters.

Old Zhang rushed into a room in a panic, glanced at the people inside, then walked to Captain Li and said in a trembling voice, "Another one is dead! The body is lying outside!"

Upon hearing this, Captain Li exerted force, directly snapping off the wooden chair's armrest, and angrily said:

"I told you all a long time ago to trap the assassin inside the defensive barrier and wait for the leader to return!

But you wouldn't listen, insisting on opening the defensive barrier. Now look, more people are dead! How will you explain this to the leader when he returns?"

The others frowned, and one of them sneered, "The first-tier members are already being scared out of their minds by that assassin. If we didn't open the defensive barrier, there would probably have been internal strife by now!

Besides, if you keep the assassin trapped inside the defensive barrier for too long, and he goes crazy and starts killing indiscriminately out of desperation, we won't be able to explain that to the leader either!"

Captain Li snorted coldly and stopped arguing.

At this moment, Old Zhang spoke up, "No, this time the person wasn't killed by the assassin. The dead person's body..."

Here, Old Zhang suddenly stopped talking.

The others looked at Old Zhang in confusion, only to see him fall straight to the ground.

The surrounding people instantly ran to a distance, watching Old Zhang with great alarm.

They carefully examined Old Zhang's condition but found no wounds whatsoever.

Then, they cautiously approached Old Zhang to check his condition.

After a moment, Captain Li said with a puzzled expression, "How can there be no wounds at all? How did he die?"

Suddenly, one of them stood up and moved away from Old Zhang, saying with some fear, "This might be the work of a Poison Doctor!"

Upon hearing this, the others also subconsciously moved away from Old Zhang.

The Poison Doctor is a very troublesome profession.

To awaken the Poison Doctor profession, one needs to take a self-made antidote and enter a place dense with poisonous miasma, devouring the miasma's energy.

Only when the antidote resolves all the miasma's energy, and is completely digested, leaving the body with neither poison nor medicine, can one awaken the Poison Doctor profession.

If too much antidote is taken, the Physician profession will be awakened.

If there is not enough antidote, and one is lucky enough to survive, the Poison Master profession will be awakened.

The Poison Doctor profession leans towards assassination, specializing in using poison when attacking. After poisoning someone to death, the poison will automatically dissipate, making it difficult for outsiders to detect.

The Poison Doctor's methods of poisoning are also extremely difficult to guard against and cannot be detected.

Captain Li and the others moved away from Old Zhang's body, their faces filled with worry.

"First, it was an assassin, and now a Poison Doctor. Who exactly did our Tiger Fang Mercenary Group offend?"

"Offending people is inevitable in the development of a group. Sometimes, even if you haven't offended anyone, others might sabotage you out of jealousy. Thinking about who we offended is completely meaningless."

"Then what do you say we should do?"

"In my opinion, we should immediately stop some of the things that are currently offending people to test which aspect is offending someone, and then eliminate the enemy."

"That's all we can do for now. But how do we explain the deaths of Old Zhang and the others?"

"We must never mention the Poison Doctor. Let's just make up some story."

"By the way, the people we arranged in the various profession mission halls haven't discovered any new assassination missions. As for the Cursed Master mission hall, which we're focusing on, there's no news at all. I don't think there's any point in having them stay there any longer. Let's have them come back."

"Alright."

After discussing for a moment, they all walked out of the room, their faces even more unsightly as they looked at the terrified crowd outside and the seven or eight corpses on the ground.

Captain Li glanced at the corpses from afar and lied, "The reason these people died is because their nervous emotions were too intense, causing their bodies to be unable to handle it. Don't be nervous, everyone, and control your emotions."

The crowd didn't believe these words at all. Even if some people's bodies were weak and couldn't handle the tense emotions, it was impossible for seven or eight people to die on the same day.

However, now that they didn't know where the enemy was, and the corpses had no obvious wounds,

they could only silently deceive themselves in their hearts, forcing themselves to believe Captain Li's words.

If they didn't, they were afraid they would be scared out of their minds.

Captain Li continued to comfort them, "The leader will be back in a while. Before the leader returns, you don't have to take on any missions. Just relax and rest more."

Hearing the news that the leader was returning, the crowd's emotions became excited, and some people's eyes even flickered with tears.

Captain Li further ordered, "When going out these days, don't argue or conflict with others, and try to be tolerant as much as possible;

Also, many things in our Tiger Fang Mercenary Group are not very reasonable. I will assign the unreasonable things to you later. You should first dispose of the corpses and then come back to me."

"Understood." Everyone nodded and carried the corpses away from the place.

Seeing that the crowd was about to leave, Captain Li suddenly remembered that Old Zhang's corpse was still in the room and immediately said:

"Old Zhang suddenly died of over-tension just now. His body is in the room. Go and carry the body out for burial."

After saying this, Captain Li ignored the crowd's suddenly changed expressions and left the place with the other second-tier captains.

At this moment, in a room at the Cleaver Academy's inn, as the last sheet of white paper was torn apart, all the targets Fang Che had locked onto had been killed.

Fang Che put away the Seven Arrows Book with Nail Heads, collected all the paper scraps, kneaded them into a ball, and then used curse energy to grind them into powder, storing them in his storage ring.

Afterward, Fang Che put on his cloak and mask and set off for the Cursed Master mission hall.

Entering the mission hall, Fang Che looked around and found that those familiar fishing personnel had disappeared.

Fang Che found the manager, spent money to rent a cultivation room with an exit, and went to check the missions on the wall.

The missions were similar to before, with nothing that Fang Che liked. So, Fang Che stuck the cultivation room token on the wall, opened a crack, and entered the cultivation room.

This time, no smoke came out of Fang Che's body, and he wasn't being watched.

Afterward, Fang Che stabilized his emotions and, after the curse energy became sufficiently dense, began to cultivate.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Fang Che felt a little tired from cultivation, so he took off his cloak and mask and went to the mission hall to look for information about the Tiger Fang Mercenary Group members.

Just as he entered the mission hall, a Tiger Fang Mercenary Group member stopped Fang Che and said with a smile, "Brother Fang Che, I'm from the Tiger Fang Mercenary Group, and I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

Fang Che pretended to be nervous and hurriedly said, "Please give me a few more days, and I'll be able to pay back the money soon!"

The Tiger Fang Mercenary Group member shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I'm not here to collect the debt. We discovered that Wang Yuan deceived the Tiger Fang Mercenary Group and created a very unreasonable debt contract. Therefore, I'm here to modify the contract."
