After browsing through six floors of the Compendium Hall, Zhang Xuan was still unable to find a solution. Based on the introduction in the Library of Heaven's Path, Poison White was a Seven Star poison master from the headquarters.
Besides, given how long a soul had lived, it was normal for it to lose its memories. Putting everything aside, this was the case with Vicious.
It would be easier for the other party to believe his words.
As expected, upon hearing those words, Poisoner White suddenly came to a realization. Nodding his head, he pondered for a moment before saying, "I have heard of the Innate Poison Body causing one's inability to control the energy within one's body, resulting in a calamity... However, I'm not too sure how it works. However, Poison Master Hai has read some books on it, so perhaps he might know something about it!"
"Poison Master Hai?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback. Could it be that he wasn't the only one from the headquarters?
The Library of Heaven's Path could only reveal the flaws of those who came into contact with it. Poison Master Hai hadn't entered the Compendium Hall, so he wasn't aware of the matter.
"Poison Master Hai came here with me, and as a Seven Star pinnacle poison master as well, he has read many books regarding you. Perhaps, he might know more about the matter!"
Poisoner White explained.
"How many people came with you from the headquarters?"
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"Just the two of us!" Poisoner White didn't dare to hide the truth.
"Just the two of you?" Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
However, if it was two of them, it would be easy to deal with. He had already tricked one of them, and with some guidance from the other, he should be able to trust them.
After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan took out another gourd of fine wine and passed it over. "Invite him over. As for this wine, tell him that I invited him over!"
"You invited him over?"
Poisoner White was perplexed.
"Indeed. This wine contains a unique medicinal herb that is extremely beneficial to your cultivation." Nodding his head, Zhang Xuan put on the look of an expert empathizing with his juniors.
"If it's beneficial to my cultivation, why would I..."
Poisoner White was taken aback.
"Do you think that the wine won't be of any help to you?"
Zhang Xuan seemed to have seen through his thoughts.
"This..."
Awkwardness surfaced on Poisoner White's face.
The other party was right. That was exactly what he was thinking.
He had also drunk the wine, but he did not feel that it was of any help to his cultivation. It was just that as a junior, it was not convenient for him to voice his doubts.
"Every medicine has a certain dosage. You only drank two or three mouthfuls, so the effect is minimal. Drink a few more mouthfuls, and the effect will naturally become apparent!"
With a smile, Zhang Xuan put on an unfathomable image.
"Drink more?"
Poisoner White nodded.
That's right, as long as it's a medicine, there's a certain dosage. It's true that the effects aren't obvious with just a sip or two.
Without much hesitation, Zhang Xuan raised the gourd once more. Gulp! Gulp! "He drank more than ten mouthfuls in a row.
At this level of cultivation, if one did not wish to get drunk, ordinary wine would not have much of an effect.
After drinking the wine, Poisoner White closed his eyes to feel the sensation in his body. Indeed, he felt a surge of warmth gushing out from his abdomen toward his Origin Gate.
It had been several centuries since his Origin Gate was sealed. He had tried many different methods, but none of them had succeeded. At this moment, when this surge of warmth gushed into his Origin Gate along with the zhenqi in his body, it actually shook a little with a 'jiya!' sound.
"This..." Nearly leaping up in agitation, Poisoner White's breathing hastened.
At his level of cultivation, he understood the significance of a slight shake.
The appearance of a shake meant that his Origin Gate was already loosening. As long as he worked hard in the future, there was a chance that he would be able to break it open!
Despite cultivating for so many years, he was still unable to do so. Yet, after drinking a gourd of wine, he was able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Wasn't the effect of the wine a little too great?
"Is it effective?" Zhang Xuan asked with a light chuckle. His gaze was unfathomable.
"Thank you, founder!"
Having tasted the wine for himself, Poisoner White could not help but be filled with admiration for the other party.
"You can leave now. I'll be heading to the seventh floor now. Tell Poison Master Hai to look for me after he finishes his wine."
Seeing that the other party had no doubts about his words, Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
"Yes!" Hurriedly nodding his head, Poisoner White walked out of the room excitedly.
To him, he had benefited greatly from this trip. Not only did he manage to confirm Sun Qiang's true identity, he had also rekindled his confidence and obtained the founder's medicine. It would be of great help to his cultivation in the future.
After the other party left, Zhang Xuan opened his eyes and stood up.
It wasn't easy to dupe a Seven Star pinnacle poison master. It was fortunate that the matter had gone smoothly.
Of course, it wasn't that the other party was a fool. Rather, the ability of the Library of Heaven's Path and the Heaven's Path zhenqi was simply too overpowered.
On top of that, his disguise was so profound that even a Seven Star master teacher wouldn't be able to see through it. Thus, duping a Seven Star poison master wasn't a problem at all!
"Let's hurry up and head up …"
Knowing that it would take some time for the other party to finish his wine, Zhang Xuan didn't waste any time and headed to the seventh floor.
There were even fewer books on the seventh floor, only a few thousand at most. With a single glance, Zhang Xuan collected all of them into his mind.
Sitting on the floor, he flipped through all of the books he had seen previously. Not too long later, he shook his head in disappointment.
There were many books on poison in the Hongyuan Poison Temple, and there were more than a dozen books on the Innate Poison Body. However, most of them were filled with praise for the might of the Innate Poison Body, and there wasn't a single method to control the poison.
In other words, even after reading through so many books, he was still unable to find a solution to resolve Wei Ruyan's current situation.
"It seems like there's no way for me to find a way to directly record it down. I can only rely on myself to research it …"
Even though he was disappointed, he didn't give up.
After reading through so many books, his comprehension of poison would surely reach Seven Star pinnacle, surpassing even that of Poisoner White.
With this ability, even if there weren't any records, he would be able to figure it out on his own.
Of course, Zhang Xuan was only a 2-star poison master at the moment. It would take several hours for him to reach 7-star and assimilate all of the knowledge he had gathered. Thus, it was best for him to listen to Poison Master Hai's method first.
Not too long later, Poisoner White walked up once more, and behind him was an elder.
This elder was even taller than Poisoner White, and his aura was no weaker than Poison Master Hai's. He was a Saint 4-dan pinnacle expert as well.
At this moment, after hearing Poisoner White's words, he didn't doubt Zhang Xuan's words. Instead, he looked at Zhang Xuan with respect.
It seemed like he trusted Poisoner White's judgment. This was for the best. This way, Zhang Xuan wouldn't have to waste any more time and effort to induce his Heaven's Path zhenqi to trick the other party into poisoning him.
"I have heard of the Innate Poison Body's calamity, and I vaguely saw the method to resolve it in a book!"
Walking up to Zhang Xuan, Poison Master Hai bowed deeply, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "It seems like it will require the collaboration of many poison masters to set up a unique formation to convert the lethal poison emanated by the Innate Poison Body into energy for one's cultivation … Once it succeeds, not only will one's calamity be resolved, one's cultivation will also be raised significantly!"
"Unique formation?"
Zhang Xuan frowned. "Do you know what kind of formation it is?"
"I'm not too sure, but the headquarters should know of it. Furthermore, it might require the collaboration of an 8-Star or even Nine Star poison master!"
Poison Master Hai said with a bitter smile.
"The collaboration of an 8-Star or Nine Star poison master …"
Zhang Xuan's complexion darkened, and his face darkened.
Putting aside how difficult it was to find poison masters of such caliber, even if he were to find one, given his current strength, it was unlikely that he would be able to fool them!
It was one thing for him to convince Poisoner White and Poison Master Hai with the flaws in the Library of Heaven's Path, but to fool experts of such caliber, no matter how well he disguised himself, it would be futile!
"Yes!" Poison Master Hai nodded. "Only poison masters of such caliber are able to gather the poison aura emanated by the Innate Poison Body and fuse it with various poisons to raise the cultivation of the owner of the Innate Poison Body swiftly! Once it succeeds, it won't take long for the founder to return to his peak! "
"Un!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
Even though he hadn't learned the poison techniques beyond 2-star yet, after reading so many books, he had gained a deeper understanding of the Innate Poison Body.
With such a constitution, the more poison one consumed, the more difficult it would be for one to control the energy of calamity. If there was a corresponding poison master around to gather the poison aura and fuse it with medicinal herbs, the rate at which one's cultivation would improve would be astonishing!
"Founder … intends to use this body to regain his strength?"
Poison Master Hai hesitated for a moment before asking.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing the bizarre tone in the other party's voice, Zhang Xuan frowned.
"It's nothing much … It's just that, isn't the founder a lady? Why is she using the body of a man … "Poison Master Hai said awkwardly.
"A lady?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
He knew that the founder of the Poison Temple possessed the Innate Poison Body as well, but he wasn't too sure whether the founder was a man or a woman. So, it was a lady … It was no wonder Poisoner White would be suspicious of him!
"Right, if the founder is a lady, this will be even easier to deal with …"
Upon thinking of such a matter, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt agitated.
Previously, he had been thinking about how he could resolve the matter regarding Wei Ruyan so as to not arouse the other party's suspicions. Since the founder was a lady, this would make things much easier.
Chuckling softly, Zhang Xuan turned to look at Poison Master Hai. Even though his eyes were tightly shut, Poison Master Hai still felt as if he was being watched. "Indeed, I am a lady. The reason why I entered Sun Qiang's body is because I had no other choice. However … I have already found a constitution suitable for me, but as soon as I enter it, I will fall unconscious, and I will be unable to control the energy within my body … Thus, I came to the Poison Temple in search of a solution! "
"You have found a constitution suitable for you?"
Poison Master Hai and Poison Master Bai glanced at one another in astonishment.
"Indeed. Not only so, my soul is currently extremely weak. If I were to possess the other party, there is a good chance that I would lose all of my memories. Unless … I return to my peak and regain my consciousness, otherwise … I will be under the control of the other party's will. As such, I have been hesitating, not daring to make a move recklessly!"
Zhang Xuan sighed.
"This …"
The two poison masters frowned.
This was something that they hadn't thought of before.
However, the soul was incomparably profound, and the founder had lived for tens of thousands of years. It was entirely possible for anything to happen to her.
