Inside the stone room, Xiao Cui stood where she was. She was so shocked that she was speechless.
Only after a long while did she regain her composure. Her tanned face revealed a complex expression. She has been in this store for many years. In the beginning, many people came to try. But as time went on, nobody dared to enter.
The reason was because the spiritual medicines were far too rare and nobody recognized them.
Now that Ling Xian had so casually named all 43 spiritual medicines, how could Xiao Cui not be shocked? Not to mention forty-three, even if there was only one, he would have passed the first test.
Therefore, she sighed and said, "Of course I passed."
"Very good. Then I can begin the second test." Ling Xian shifted his gaze towards the spiritual medicines and his eyes flickered with anticipation.
The spiritual medicines before him were all good stuff. Among them, there were 30 spiritual medicines of the first realm and 13 rare spiritual medicines. On top of that, they were all rare and strange medicines. Any alchemist would be tempted by them.
Ling Xian was no exception. Therefore, he decided to buy all the spiritual medicines before him. To him, the next test wasn't difficult.
Noticing the heat in his eyes, Xiao Cui frowned, "It seems like you want to take all the spiritual medicines here?"
"That's right." Ling Xian admitted it and smiled, "These are all rare spiritual medicines. If I miss this chance, I may never see them again."
"You sure have a good plan. However, the second test is not the same as the first one. You will die." Xiao Cui hissed, her tone was warning.
"I know." Ling Xian softly grinned. The second test was called "no eating, no selling". In other words, he had to eat a few of the spiritual medicines before he could proceed to the third test.
This test sounded easy. He only had to eat a few and he would pass. However, all the spiritual medicines before him were poisonous. The toxicity was also very strong and could be described as highly toxic.
In other words, the second test required him to eat poisonous plants!
Don't forget, Ling Xian had said that the poison from these spiritual medicines was very aggressive. Even completion leveled cultivators cannot defend against the poison they contain.
"You clearly know that these strange medicines are extremely poisonous, yet you still want to try the second test." Xiao Cui frowned and said, "Should I say that you are bold because of your skills, or should I say that you overestimate yourself?"
"You can say whatever you want. When the truth is revealed, you will understand." Ling Xian's expression was calm, but there was no room for doubt.
"Looks like you've made up your mind to try." Xiao Cui sighed. There was a look of pity on her face.
She knew very well how potent these spiritual medicines were. Therefore, she didn't think Ling Xian could survive, even if he was a completion leveled cultivator.
"That's right. All you need to do is answer me and tell me if I can continue." Ling Xian grinned. Even though all the plants before him were poisonous, their value was still shocking.
What's more, these 43 types of miraculous medicines were extremely rare. He was afraid that if he missed them this time, he would never see them again.
"Of course I can try. But I do not have the heart to let a genius like you die here." Xiao Cui sighed, not believing that Ling Xian could survive after trying again.
Just then, the crisp sound of pearls landing on a jade plate arose. Like the sound of nature, it made everyone happy.
"Since this Young Master insists on giving it a try, then I won't refuse to sell my shop for three days."
After those words were spoken, a tall and slender woman in black walked over from afar. Her facial features were exquisite and her face was beautiful. She naturally exuded the charm of a mature woman, with a charm that could steal one's soul.
"Miss," Xiao Cui greeted respectfully.
"You must be the owner of the Nothing for Sale shop, right?" Ling Xian softly grinned. He could tell that this woman was the one who spoke after he walked in.
"That's right. This store is owned by me. My name is Hong Yan Xin." The woman in black slowly walked over. She was sexy and alluring.
"What a good name." Ling Xian complimented. He manipulated his Qi to check out this woman's cultivation level.
However, his Qi was like a clay ox entering the ocean. Not only did he not detect Hong Yan Xin's cultivation level, he didn't even create a ripple.
This made him frown and his eyes flashed with strangeness. There were two reasons why he couldn't find out the opponent's cultivation level. One, the opponent's capabilities were much higher than his. Two, the opponent had a treasure that could isolate the soul.
But no matter which one it was, with Ling Xian's capabilities today, he could detect it. Yet before his eyes, he couldn't detect anything. In other words, this woman's cultivation level was much higher than his.
In other words, she was unpredictable.
"There is no need to waste your time." Hong Yan Xin smiled brightly. Her gentle voice, however, was a warning.
"Knowing too much isn't good for you."
Ling Xian's heart froze and he silently admired this woman's spiritual sense. He smiled, "I was merely curious. I didn't mean anything else."
"That's good." Hong Yan Xin softly smiled. The way she looked at Ling Xian was a little strange as well.
She knew just how rare these medicines were. Back then, to learn all sorts of information about them, she searched through ancient books for more than 30 years before she found the relevant information.
Yet Ling Xian, at such a young age, was able to tell her everything. He even knew more details than she did. Why wouldn't she be surprised?
As much as she was surprised, she also had a guess. Therefore, she decided to show herself in order to verify her guess.
"You are so young, yet you are able to recognize these spiritual medicines that even a grandmaster would not recognize. Your own cultivation level is also extraordinary. I am very impressed." Hong Yan Xin smiled brightly. Her eyes checked out Ling Xian and flickered with strangeness.
"You are flattering me."
Ling Xian smiled and got straight to the point, "I wonder if I can continue to try?"
"I have already told you, if you want to try, the shop is not for sale."
Hong Yan Xin's brows furrowed slightly. She couldn't understand why a completion leveled cultivator would have the guts to try after knowing that these medicines were poisonous.
Remember that even for someone as powerful as her, it would be troublesome if she were to be poisoned. What could a completion leveled cultivator do?
"That's good." Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction. He marched forward and arrived before the Demonic Grass.
Then, before Hong Yan Xin's shocked gaze, he extended his right hand and placed a petal into his mouth.
The Demonic Grass was a rare poison after all. Even though it was merely a petal, it was extremely poisonous. Once it entered his mouth, it immediately dissolved into a violent poison that eroded his internal organs.
"It's even more potent than the poison from the Poisonous Dragon Scorpion."
Ling Xian frowned slightly, but he wasn't worried. He manipulated the Flame of Purity. The silver flame roared out of him and immediately consumed the poison.
Since he swallowed the petal, only three seconds have passed.
"Miss, I have tried the Demonic Grass of Six Petals." Ling Xian faintly smiled, unharmed.
"No wonder you dared to challenge my second rule."
Hong Yan Xin's eyes flickered with shock, "You used merely three seconds to get rid of the poison from the Demonic Grass. Impressive."
As for Xiao Cui, she was completely stunned and her brain was blank.
She really didn't think Ling Xian would dare to consume the poison. She also didn't think he would be unharmed!
That was the Demonic Grass with six petals. Even completion leveled powerhouses cannot get rid of the poison in a short period of time. Yet Ling Xian merely used three breaths of time. How shocking was this?!
"Since I dared to try, then I naturally have enough confidence." Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. He then placed the Demonic Grass to the side and picked up the Three Leaved Blue Sangha Flower.
This made Hong Yan Xin teasingly smile and look at him with interest.
"The Three Leaved Blue Sangha Flower. This strange medicine is mine."
Smiling confidently, Ling Xian plucked a leaf and placed it into his mouth. He manipulated the Flame of Purity and immediately consumed the poison. Then, he felt too lazy to waste any more time with Hong Yan Xin. He placed the flower aside and picked up the third medicine.
Then, an astonishing scene appeared inside the stone room.
The fourth, the fifth, the sixth … within a short period of time, Ling Xian had consumed 13 different medicines. Each stalk of poison was placed next to the Six Petal Devil Grass within three breaths of time after he picked it up.
This meant that he had already tried, and it also meant that he was safe and sound.
Just like that, Ling Xian repeated these three actions. First, he plucked off a portion of the medicine, then he placed it into his mouth. Finally, he placed it aside.
Moreover, these three movements did not take more than three breaths of time. From this, it became obvious how dominating the Flame of Purity was. It was no wonder it was known as the nemesis of all poisons!
This made Xiao Cui speechless. She found it hard to believe what was happening before her eyes was real.
Even Hong Yan Xin, this mysterious woman, was in awe and could no longer maintain her composure.
Ling Xian swallowed one poison and was unharmed. She was merely a little surprised. After swallowing two, she was able to maintain her composure. But when he swallowed more than 10 poisonous medicines and his expression didn't change, she was deeply shocked.
Remember that even someone as powerful as her wouldn't dare to eat so recklessly. What was even more shocking was Ling Xian's speed. Every single poison took him less than three breaths of time. This was an unimaginable feat!
Even though he had only consumed a little bit, even an original leveled cultivator cannot get rid of the poison so quickly without the help of an antidote!
Therefore, why wouldn't Hong Yan Xin be shocked? As much as she was shocked, she couldn't help but to have a guess.
"He is merely a completion leveled cultivator yet he can ignore the poison of these plants. That is the only explanation."
Hong Yan Xin's eyes flickered with color. To confirm her guess, she whispered, "Master, please stop."
Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned and casually tossed aside the poisonous grass he had already tried.
This made Hong Yan Xin's eyelid jump and her heart ache. Because in such a short period of time, Ling Xian had tried 24 different spiritual medicines. In other words, as long as he can brew a Dan of equal value, he can take away all these rare spiritual medicines.
Based on the current situation, he had the ability to take away all forty-three types of precious herbs!
Remember that Hong Yan Xin paid a great price to find these spiritual medicines. How could she not feel heartache?
"Miss, I wonder why you want me to stop. Could it be that you don't want me to try?" Ling Xian softly grinned and stared straight at Hong Yan Xin.
