Chapter 377: Workers’ Compensation

Not many realized the importance of the sense of touch. For humans, sight was the most important. Without vision it not only made it hard to accomplish everyday tasks, it also removed the ability to read in a standard fashion. The next most important sense for humans was hearing. Combined with sight, they were the only ways for a person to perceive things at a distance with precision. A humans sense of smell usually wasnt very developed and while enriching, the loss of this sense was likely the least debilitating. Taste is very similar to smell, and its loss would cause life to lose a lot of luster, but to an outside observer someone without a sense of taste would not seem unusual.

The sense of touch seems secondary like taste or smell, but in actuality it is extremely important. It gives feedback for every action that a person performs. Without it, performing precise motions are many times more difficult. Those barely perceptible sensations are constantly being received and processed for even the most simple of actions. Without the sense of touch, there would be no feedback for your motions. It would be like trying to drive a remotely controlled car that was in another room. Youd have to use another sense to make up for the loss. A person who has lost sensation in one foot could stare down and carefully manipulate their toes, but it would take a lot of time and effort to re-learn the process of carefully shifting their weight to walk without a limp.

At this point, Sage had basically lost feeling in the vast majority of his body. Only a few of his internal organs were still free of the effect as the Blood of Fire cultivation technique already sprang to life, restarting from scratch to reform his Poison Cultivation. It was definitely not pleasant. He couldnt even muster the strength to speak. He couldnt properly control his vocal cords or his lungs properly. All that came from him were disjointed wheezing and even a few screeches. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

Ahhh!

Well, thats not very constructive. Since youve remembered to mentally communicate, start describing the effects in detail.

Now, he finally had time and also an able instructor in Guan Zhenyan. When he asked to be trained as a Poison Master, Guan Zhenyan laughed in his face.

Like I told you before, my disciples merely need to pay the proper fees and they will receive my tutoring. You, Lang Sheng, are still tens of millions in debt to me. Do you think your reputation is so great that you can presume to rack up an even higher line of credit with me? Hah. Just focus on working hard.

After being in this place for a few months, Sage also got to experience a new form of torture. A normal Fire Bellied Cobra would seek out poisons below their own rank in order to slowly strengthen their own poison cultivation little by little. Guan Zhenyan did not give him that luxury. Now that hed experienced over a dozen powerful poisons, Guan Zhenyan no longer asked him to dispel his poison cultivation on a weekly basis. Instead, he was used as a mixing bowl. He was inflicted with another poison, experiencing the terrible pain, burning, chill, debilitation, or other horrible sensation. Then, the Blood of Fire would kick in and the new poison would clash with the one inside his Poison Dantian. The new and old poison would battle for superiority, using his body as a battleground.

Thankfully, the Blood of Fire prioritized the protection of his internal organs and he was saved from any fatal effects, but the rest of his body was not so lucky. The battles between poisons would see him suffering the painful sensations of both poisons at the same time and he usually lost consciousness quite quickly. Unfortunately, the quicker he lost consciousness, the more damage the poisons would end up doing to his body. The more damage the poisons did to him, the longer he would be bedridden recovering from his injuries and in some cases hed even have to waste money on healing pills to recover. He was in a race to earn money so it pushed him to struggle through the pain. He was poisoned over and over again, each time pushing him to improve his tolerance and struggle to stay conscious to reduce his recovery time.

On the plus side, at least Im learning the names and effects of so many high ranking poisons, first hand. That miser, Guan Zhenyan. I bet if I mentioned it, hed even charge me to know the name of these poisons.
