Song Qingshu bitterly laughed, "Why is my alcohol tolerance getting worse and worse?" As he spoke, he closed his eyes.
After a few seconds, he suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes.
No! With his current cultivation, he could be said to be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. If he used his inner force to evaporate the alcohol, then drinking would be like drinking water. Why would he feel dizzy?
Could it be that he was poisoned?
Song QingShu's expression was somewhat unsightly as he recalled the details of the feast just now. Everyone ate the same dishes, and the wine was also poured from the same jar. With his cultivation of being able to see and hear in all directions, it was impossible for anyone to poison him during the feast. Moreover, with his cultivation, although he wasn't invincible, normal poisons couldn't hurt him.
Since it wasn't during the banquet, then where did he get poisoned?
Song Qingshu recalled everything that happened after he left the banquet. Nothing strange happened, so he returned to his room …
At this time, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, followed by a wave of dizziness. Song Qingshu suddenly turned around and stared at the bouquet of yellow flowers.
Could it be that?
Song Qingshu didn't dare to stay in the room any longer. He hurriedly ran out. The cool breeze in the courtyard made him feel refreshed.
It really was that!
Song Qingshu turned around to look at the flowers. The golden leaves seemed to emit a strange and eerie light.
"What kind of poison is this?" Song QingShu hurriedly circulated his inner energy to expel the poison, but to his shock, he discovered that his inner energy was intermittent and could not circulate normally. This was no small matter. It should be known that ever since he mastered the divine technique, the inner Qi in his body had formed its own circulatory cycle, repeating endlessly. Who knew that he could not circulate his inner Qi now!
Could it be the Seven Hearts Cherry-Apple?
The most famous poison in the golden book appeared in Song Qingshu's mind. In the Legend of the Flying Fox, even the masters of poison schools were afraid of it. It could be seen how terrifying it was.
However, he quickly shook his head. The Seven Hearts Cherry-Apple was colorless and odorless. Its characteristics were completely different from this flower.
At this moment, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he raised his head to look at the corridor.
A round of applause was heard. "The Golden Snake King is indeed the Golden Snake King. Even after being poisoned by the Golden Ripple Flower, he still managed to hold on for so long without fainting."
"Golden Ripple Flower!" Song Qingshu's expression finally changed. As someone who was familiar with the plot of the Golden Book, how could he not know about this poison? In the < City Link Chant >, Ding Dian, who had mastered the < Scripture of the Divine Radiating Scripture >, was poisoned to death without any resistance. Because < City Link Chant > was not as popular as < Flying Fox on the Snowy Mountain > and < Legend of the Flying Fox >, it was not as famous as < Seven Hearts Cherry-Apple >. However, in Song Qingshu's eyes, it was even more poisonous than < Seven Hearts Cherry-Apple >!
The Seven Heartfelt Flowering Apple was colorless and odorless, allowing one to die painlessly. Although it was extremely poisonous, there was a way to detoxify it.
However, the Golden Ripple Flower was different. Not only was it highly poisonous, there was no antidote for it!
Fortunately, Song Qingshu's cultivation was profound, far above that of Ding Dian, who had mastered the < Scripture of the Divine Radiating Scripture >. At the same time, he did not come into direct contact with the Golden Ripple Flower's poison like Ding Dian had, which was why he could barely hold on.
In fact, this was not due to the carelessness of the person who poisoned him. Wan Gui had already smeared the table, chair, and bed in the room with the Golden Ripple Flower's poison. As long as Song Qingshu's skin came into contact with it, he would die without a doubt. However, his knowledge was limited, and he did not know that at Song Qingshu's cultivation level, there was a faint layer of protective Zhen Qi circulating around his body. Thus, how could the poison powder possibly come into contact with his skin? Unfortunately, although the protective Zhen Qi could protect him from the poison powder, it could not block out the fragrance of the Golden Ripple Flower. Song Qingshu was still poisoned.
Sensing that his cultivation was gradually becoming undetectable, Song Qingshu's heart turned cold. However, he was not someone who would give up easily. He quickly gathered his thoughts and stared closely at the group of people who had just barged into the courtyard.
The person in the lead was naturally Moqi Suo, but unfortunately, Song Qingshu did not recognize her. Noticing the young man beside her, Song Qingshu was both shocked and angry, "Wan Gui, why are you here!?"
Wan Gui laughed savagely, "Didn't expect this, did you? All these years, I knew that you and Di Yun had been secretly investigating me. Unfortunately, you're going to die by my hands first!"
Song Qingshu snorted coldly, shooting a wisp of Sword Qi directly towards Wan Gui.
"Gui 'er, watch out!" Moqi Suo did not expect her opponent to still have the ability to resist, and was greatly alarmed. The guards beside her had already taken out their shields and placed themselves in front of the two.
With a 'puchi' sound, the shields instantly shattered, and a bloody hole appeared in the chest of the guard in front of Wan Gui. Following that, Wan Gui let out a miserable scream and fell backwards to the ground.
"Gui 'er!" Moqi Suo hurriedly ran over, and the guards who had already followed her raised even more shields and placed themselves in front of the two, preventing Song Qingshu from attacking again.
"What a pity." Song Qingshu frowned deeply. Now that he had been poisoned, a portion of his strength had been consumed by the poison, and the other portion was used to suppress the poison in his body. The amount of strength he could use to attack was probably less than ten percent of his usual strength. After piercing through the guards' shields and his body, the remaining Sword Qi was like an arrow at the end of its flight, not enough to kill Wan Gui.
As soon as he circulated his True Qi, Song Qingshu immediately felt the poison in his body begin to bite back, and he hurriedly suppressed the poison with a gloomy face, not daring to move again. Unfortunately, the Goldwave Flower's poison was too strange, and with every second that passed, the True Qi in his body was being corroded a little bit. With this, it would not be long before Song Qingshu was poisoned to death.
In fact, it was already a miracle that Song Qingshu could last until now. Back then, Ding Dian had fainted after taking a whiff of the Goldwave Flower's fragrance. Song Qingshu had stayed in the room with the Goldwave Flower for so long, and had taken at least eight to ten whiffs of it, yet he was still able to attack.
This was also why Moqi Ruo and Wan Gui had miscalculated, which was why they had swaggered towards him.
Unfortunately, Song Qingshu had been poisoned too deeply, and had not been able to take the opportunity to successfully kill them.
Even so, the grandfather and grandson pair were still incomparably shocked. With Song Qingshu as the center, the group of people all retreated several dozen feet, staring at him as if they were looking at a monster.
The wound on Wan Gui's chest had already been treated, and it was no longer a problem. He hid behind the guard and looked at Song Qingshu with hatred. Unfortunately, he had already been terrified by the attack just now, and did not dare to provoke him again, for fear that Song Qingshu would risk his life to drag him down with him.
Wan Gui thought to himself that his grandfather was the current Prime Minister, and he could be considered young and promising, with a lovely wife and daughter at home, and a bright future waiting for him. In any case, Song Qingshu had already been poisoned by the Goldwave Flower, and it would not be long before he died, so how could he put himself in danger?
At such a critical moment, Song Qingshu suddenly had a funny thought: If I had known it would be like this, I really would have gone to find Jiao Wan 'er just now, and I wouldn't have been poisoned. Gentlemen really don't live long, and lecherous live for a thousand years.
"Li Kexiu, since you've come, why don't you come out? Are you too ashamed to see me!" Song Qingshu snorted heavily. Now that things had come to this, how could he not understand that Wan Gui and his group could openly plot against him in the admiral's office without Li Kexiu's help!
No wonder Li Kexiu had previously taken the initiative to find him, and so easily agreed to join Golden Snake Camp; no wonder during the afternoon's discussion of the merger, she had made all sorts of concessions … so it was all to numb him.
Song Qingshu suddenly felt a bit of heartache. He did not know if Li Yuanzhi knew about the entire matter.
