As soon as he exited the gates of Medical City, Xiao Qi kept running forward, not daring to stop for even a moment. He didn't know where to go, so he just kept moving forward.
He only dared to stop and rest when he reached a barren forest.
He didn't even have time to sit down before he fell to the ground with a thump. He was just too tired.
His surroundings were silent, and only his rapid breathing could be heard. But soon, a few strange insect sounds came from the bushes to the side.
Xiao Qi was already on high alert, so when he heard these sounds, he immediately held his breath.
He followed the sound and saw a man in his forties hiding in the bushes, smiling at him.
Xiao Qi turned to run without hesitation, but the man rushed out and grabbed him, "Xiao Qi, I'm Uncle Luo! Have you forgotten? "
This person was none other than Luo Zuishan.
Xiao Qi didn't remember him at all. Unable to struggle, he simply bit down on Luo Zuishan's wrist. Luo Zuishan's heart trembled from the pain, but he couldn't care less.
"Xiao Qi, hurry and come with me. The head elder sent people to take you back!"
"Xiao Qi, have you really forgotten me? I'm Uncle Luo. Three years ago, you gave me Medicinal Pills and saved my wife's life. "
Xiao Qi had some recollection of Luo Zuishan's words, and he recalled everything after careful thought.
That time, Luo Zuishan had come to the head elder's courtyard to seek medical treatment. The head elder had written a prescription for Luo Zuishan to go to the Council of Elders to ask for medicine. However, Luo Zuishan was only a minor character and didn't have the qualifications to go to the Council of Elders. Luo Zuishan had knelt and begged the head elder to appear, but the head elder had refused on the grounds that it was inconvenient.
Xiao Qi had only given Luo Zuishan a pill in passing and hadn't even said a word to him. He hadn't expected Luo Zuishan to remember his kindness.
"Hurry and come with me. I know you've been wrongly accused," Luo Zuishan said seriously.
Wrongly accused …
Xiao Qi's heart suddenly throbbed with grief. Without any hesitation, he hastily fled with Luo Zuishan.
Not long after they left, the First Elder's men came looking for Xiao Qi. Unfortunately, they couldn't find him even after searching the entire forest.
Dean Gu and the First Elder were both anxious. They sent more people to search for him for three days and three nights, but to no avail. Never in their wildest dreams would they have thought that Xiao Qi hadn't gone anywhere and was still hiding in the medical academy.
Luo Zuishan said that the most dangerous place was the safest place.
Luo Zuishan didn't tell anyone, not even his wife. He cleaned up Xiao Qi very well, gave him a bath, tied up his hair, changed his clothes, and even treated Xiao Qi's wounds.
Only then did he discover that Xiao Qi's body wasn't just covered in wounds from eggs and stones. There were also countless wounds of various sizes, both old and new. It could be said that he was covered in scales, and there wasn't a single piece of skin left unscathed. Even his fingernails were broken.
Luo Zuishan had actually been paying attention to Xiao Qi all these years. When he learned that Xiao Qi had been banished for theft, his first thought was that there was something fishy about this matter.
He had tried to inquire about it, but unfortunately, he hadn't been able to find anything.
He didn't care about the real reason Xiao Qi had been banished. He only knew that no matter what mistake Xiao Qi had committed, the First Elder wouldn't let him off easily after publicly banishing Xiao Qi. Moreover, it wasn't just the First Elder. The various powers of the medical world were definitely watching this child!
This child was a rare genius. The value he could create was immeasurable.
Seeing Xiao Qi covered in wounds, Luo Zuishan shook his head in heartache. "Did the First Elder and the others … hit you?"
How could it be just a hit?
Xiao Qi lowered his head and didn't say a word.
Luo Zuishan's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He was silent for a long time before speaking. "Child, I'll send you to Medicine City after this storm blows over. With your skills, you won't starve to death. However, you must remember not to tell anyone that you're Xiao Qi from Medical City, understand?"
Xiao Qi still didn't say anything.
Luo Zuishan was afraid that his emotions would become unstable, so he didn't dare to ask too many questions. Who would've thought that he wouldn't be able to find Xiao Qi the next day?
He only found a note saying that Xiao Qi had stolen all the money in his room. The note said that it was the money for the medicine from before, so they didn't owe each other anything in the future.
Luo Zuishan was both helpless and worried. He didn't dare to alarm anyone and could only search in secret.
However, Xiao Qi had left Medical City that very night. He had gone to Medicine City …
As the cold wind blew, Gu, who was nestled in a tree branch, curled up and slept restlessly. The moonlight shone on his cheeks, making his profile even more beautiful than usual in the dim light. He turned over a few times and groggily opened his eyes.
He looked at the moonlight in the sky, then at his surroundings. He subconsciously touched the corner of his eye and felt a cold, wet spot.
He stared blankly at the tears on his fingers.
However, he quickly regained his senses. He shook his hand forcefully and cursed, "F * ck!"
He stood up and stretched lazily as if nothing had happened. Then he jumped down from the tree and disappeared into the darkness.
How could the events of the past ten years be finished with a single dream? Just like the hatred that filled the sky, it wasn't enough to end with just one person.
Deep into the night, no one could sleep.
Even Han Yunxi, who had been sleeping on the bed for a long time, wasn't truly asleep.
The mysterious wordless stele on the Poison Sect's altar kept flashing through her mind, unable to be erased.
At first, she thought she was dreaming and tried very hard to open her eyes. She wanted to wake up, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open her eyes. She couldn't even move her hands and feet.
People don't know what's happening in a dream!
But she clearly remembered that she had fallen asleep and that she was lying on the bed right now.
Her consciousness was so clear. Was this not a dream?
Just as Han Yunxi was in a state of confusion, the images flashing through her mind suddenly became real. Her surroundings were real.
She had returned to the Poison Sect's altar, and the wordless stele was right in front of her.
This feeling was the same as when she entered the detoxification space. Had her soul returned to the Poison Sect's altar?
The mossy stele gave off a damp, decaying aura. It was like a call from ancient times, beckoning her to come closer.
Han Yunxi resisted and even feared it, but she couldn't tear her eyes away from the stele. Soon, she walked over without realizing it.
But as she drew closer, something miraculous happened.
She saw rows and rows of words gradually appear on the wordless monument. They were clearly complicated and strangely shaped words, but she could understand them.
What was written on the stele was none other than the Poison Sect's poison storage space!
Han Yunxi was greatly alarmed. She didn't have time to worry about her fears or why she'd come here in the first place. She even strode over to carefully read the tiny words, afraid that they'd disappear if she was too slow.
Reality quickly proved that Han Yunxi was right. The densely packed words on the stele disappeared from left to right at a speed far faster than Han Yunxi could read them.
Han Yunxi panicked. She glanced at ten lines at a time, one by one. Every time she finished a line, it would disappear. She was so nervous that she held her breath, not daring to stop or have any distracting thoughts. She just kept looking.
In the end, every time she finished a line, it would immediately disappear. Gradually, the speed at which the words were disappearing surpassed hers. She could only give up on a large section and look at the rest.
Hurry! Hurry!
Suddenly, her eyes flew open and she shot up from the bed. She found herself in a room in the side courtyard. What altar? What stele? It was all just a dream!
Han Yunxi gasped for breath, her heart still racing.
As she got off the bed, she recalled the words in her dream. Although she hadn't finished reading the stele, she knew everything that was written on it.
This … didn't seem to be a dream.
The stele recorded that the poison storage space was the Poison Sect's most powerful existence. Not every direct descendant of the Poison Sect had a poison storage space. Some people were born with it in their consciousness, while others might not be able to cultivate it even after decades of cultivation.
Some people relied on their powerful consciousness to open the poison storage space, while others carried it with them their entire lives without knowing it. They would never be able to open it.
The poison storage space didn't just have the ability to store poison. It had three main functions, and the poison storage space was only the first.
The first stage was called Poison Storage. It allowed the user to freely store their own poisons, as well as the world's most poisonous things.
The second stage was called Enemy Resistance. It allowed the user to freely store poisons that posed a threat to themselves.
The third stage was called Strategy. It allowed the user to freely store any poison in the world.
Each stage had its own detailed cultivation rules. For example, the first stage cultivated the strength of one's consciousness. The stronger one's consciousness, the easier it would be to store poison, and the easier it would be to store it. Conversely, one would experience dizziness, fainting, and other symptoms. They might even fail to store poisons that were too strong or had too much poison.
Han Yunxi carefully recalled the records and found that they were basically the same as her own.
She had a naturally unyielding personality, and with the existence of the detoxification system, her consciousness was strong to begin with. Thus, she had accidentally opened the poison storage space. Because she lacked a systematic cultivation, her consciousness wasn't strong enough to freely store it, and she had fainted several times.
Han Yunxi increasingly felt that this wasn't a dream, but a kind of inheritance. Because she had the detoxification space, she had been chosen by the wordless stele to inherit the Poison Sect's strongest cultivation manual.
Thinking up to here, Han Yunxi hurriedly returned to the couch and sat cross-legged. She cultivated the strength of her consciousness according to the rules in her memories. Although she couldn't achieve results so quickly, she felt much better after meditating for an hour. It was as if she'd had a good night's sleep, and her body was full of energy.
"It's not a dream!"
She muttered to herself, certain but also shocked. She had thought that the detoxification system she had with her was already strong enough. She hadn't expected the poison storage space to have such a trick.
Once she reached the second stage, would she be able to directly store the poison in her space without needing to do anything if someone poisoned her?
After all, the Poison Sect's poison storage space didn't have the ability to identify poisons, but her detoxification system did.
As for the third stage, she could freely store poisons in the world. This was a heaven-defying ability. If she wanted to store all poisons in the world with just the poison storage space, she would need to have a strong ability to identify poisons. But for Han Yunxi, the detoxification system could take care of everything for her.
It had to be said that with the poison storage space and the detoxification system combined, Han Yunxi would really be invincible in the world of poisons!
Even if a direct descendant of the Poison Sect with a poison storage space appeared, they wouldn't be her match …
