The black-robed young man trembled uncontrollably.
This was a deadly poison that countless poison masters in the Poison Master Hall had spent a lot of effort to create. Even a powerful martial artist at the peak of Inherited Realm would have their nerves numbed, and their reactions would become slower and slower. In the end, it would cause their cultivation base to drop …
Although it wouldn't take one's life, it was hard to guard against and there was no way to resolve it!
Not only did he manage to solve the problem, he even swallowed it whole …
Was it a human?
Not only him, but the Firmament Beast's face also turned pale.
It had only sniffed a little of the Zhen Yuan, and its movements had become slow and powerless. Little Martial Uncle had drunk an entire bottle in one go, and it tasted so good … Was this something a human would do?
He couldn't help but ask, "Little Martial Uncle, are … are you alright …"
"It's just some wine. What could happen?" Su Yin shook his head.
He had already felt that something was amiss when he tried to detoxify the Firmament Beast. It was only when he held the jade bottle in his hands that he realized what the problem was.
Wasn't this the wine that the Remnant Thought Du Zhuang gave him?
Back when he was studying in the forbidden grounds, he would have to drink a few cups every night before going to bed. Initially, he wasn't used to it, and it was easy for him to get headaches. Eventually, he got used to it and found that it tasted pretty good … Sometimes, he wouldn't be able to sleep if he didn't drink it.
How did it … turn into poison?
This shouldn't be the case!
There was absolutely no mistake. It was eighty-two years old first-grade hemp pulp. It was the real deal …
"Wine?"
With twitching lips, the crowd fell silent.
Drinking poison like wine?
Did he have to be so ruthless and arrogant?
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was still in high spirits, not showing the slightest sign of being poisoned, Wu Yuan lowered his voice and said, "Perhaps Senior Uncle's cultivation is simply too high, such that the poison doesn't seem to have any effect on him at all …"
The Firmament Beast came to a realization.
Many powerful cultivators were indeed not afraid of poison. For example, it could easily kill ordinary people with just a little bit of arsenic. It would not have much of a problem even if it ate a few kilograms of it.
The other party should be the same as well.
"Master, can I have a taste?" The tortoise asked expectantly. It was actually quite fond of wine.
Su Yin emptied the jade bottle, but it was already empty. "It's finished …"
Disappointed, the tortoise turned to the black-robed young man and asked, "Do you have any more?"
"There's, there's still one more!" With a shudder, the black-robed young man flicked his wrist, and another identical jade bottle appeared before him.
With his status and cultivation, he could apply for three bottles at a time, so he still had two bottles left.
"Yes!"
"Good wine …"
"…" The black-clothed young man was speechless again.
Even if his Junior Uncle was fine after drinking it, he would still accept it. For the heads of the Elder Hall, the Blacksmith Hall, and the Apothecary Hall to come here personally, it was impossible for the other party to be weak!
But what was wrong with this tortoise? He didn't seem to have any cultivation at all.
Could it be that he didn't fear the most formidable poison of their Poison Master Hall?
Just as he was filled with disbelief, he saw the Lao Mian, who had just finished drinking the 'wine', looking at him with his beady eyes. "It's your turn. I'll drink it. You can do whatever you want!"
"???" The black-robed young man's mouth twitched in bewilderment.
"What? Master and I both drank, but you didn't drink. Are you looking down on us? "The tortoise was displeased.
Yes, he learned it from Du Zhuang. This fellow was always like this when he drank.
"…" The black-robed young man's body stiffened. A thought suddenly flashed across his mind, and he finally came to a realization!
When he said 'Junior Uncle, please enlighten me', the other party didn't say anything or use his cultivation, but in truth, he had already agreed to it.
What was he? A poison master!
He specialized in using poison, and his ability to resist poison was several dozen times that of ordinary cultivators.
The other party had used his cultivation to kill him with a single slap. It was clear that he was bullying him. Thus, he chose the thing that he was best at, intending to defeat him in this field!
In other words … he had consumed poison!
Naturally, the one who couldn't withstand it would lose.
This was also the reason why the other party had taken out his most formidable poison and gulped it down … As for the 'wine', it was to give him a way out so that he wouldn't embarrass himself if he were to lose!
Otherwise … how could such a formidable expert not be able to differentiate between poison and 'wine'?
It was obvious that he was doing it on purpose.
But even so, he still couldn't figure it out. The other party's tamed beast had also come once, and the matter was brought to light. Under such circumstances, if he were to back down, he would really be too ashamed to continue living.
"Alright!"
Taking a deep breath, the black-robed young man took out the final bottle of poison and gulped it down.
As soon as the lethal poison entered his throat, it felt as though a sharp blade was tearing through his body. The sound of corrosion echoed from his esophagus, and the excruciating pain caused blood to spurt from his mouth and nose.
"Endure it, endure it …"
Driving his zhenqi to its limits, the black-robed young man tried his best to suppress the lethal poison.
If it had been any other cultivator of the same cultivation realm, even the Heritage 4-dan Mo Yuan would have died by now. However, as a poison master, the black-robed young man had consumed plenty of poison from a young age, and he had already developed a resistance to it. Even though it was difficult for him to endure it, he was still able to endure it.
Seeing that the black-robed young man had stopped after drinking a mouthful of wine, the old tortoise asked in displeasure, "What are you doing? Are you rearing fish? Why do you have so much left? "
"I …" The black-robed young man's body trembled uncontrollably. Looking at the remaining poison in the jade bottle, he gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. "I admit defeat!"
His injuries were too severe!
If he drank any more, he would surely die here.
He really couldn't hold on any longer.
"Admit defeat? Are you still a man? To admit defeat after drinking a mouthful of wine … What a disgrace! "
The old tortoise scoffed. Picking up his empty bottle, he walked up to the black-robed young man and clinked it with his. "Don't worry, I didn't drink much at the start. I'll get used to it once I get used to it. One has to break through one's limits time and time again in order to drink more and more! "
"…" The black-robed young man's vision darkened.
This was too despicable!
Drinking a mouthful of wine … If he didn't drink it, he would be disrespecting him, and he would be a piece of trash … The black-robed young man turned to look at his surroundings, only to see all of the disciples and elders of the Subjugation Immortal Sect looking at him with gleaming eyes. Even the Firmament Beast was staring at him with widened eyes, waiting to see what he would do.
Gritting his teeth, the black-robed young man took another sip.
Pu!
Unable to hold it in any longer, blood spurted from his mouth.
"Stop putting on an act here …" the old tortoise bellowed furiously.
"Enough …"
Su Yin knew that if the black-robed young man continued drinking, he would surely die. Thus, he quickly interrupted the old tortoise.
At this moment, he finally understood that the wine tasting technique that he had learned from Du Zhuang's lingering spirit was most likely a poison master, and the wine that he had just drunk was lethal poison.
"How about this? I won't be heading to the Hall of Sealing for the time being. Let's head to the Poison Master Hall to take a look!"
Su Yin pondered for a moment before replying.
The reason why he didn't want to head to the Poison Master Hall previously was due to his lack of understanding of the occupation. However, now that he knew that it had something to do with wine tasting, he felt that it was a good idea to head over to take a look. Perhaps, he might be able to obtain a surge of 'poison master spiritual energy'.
The black-robed young man had already gone to such lengths just to invite him over, so it would be embarrassing for him to turn him down. Besides, it was clear that the old tortoise hadn't drunk enough yet. It wouldn't be a bad idea to head over to the Poison Master Hall to take a look and see if there were any treasures there.
"Thank you, elder …"
In his agitation, the black-robed young man spurted another few mouthfuls of blood before heaving a sigh of relief.
Before coming here, the black-robed young man had been ordered by the black-robed young man to head over to the Poison Master Hall. From the looks of it, the two mouthfuls of poison hadn't gone to waste. At the very least, the other party had agreed to it.
"Lead the way then!"
Su Yin couldn't be bothered to waste his breath, so he took out a bed and climbed onto it. The old tortoise slowly climbed onto it as well.
Thus, the two of them and the black-robed young man swiftly flew toward the Great Dragon Mountain.
As soon as they left, the bustling Longevity Mountain fell silent once more. Some time later, Yuan Buyi couldn't help but turn to Wu Yuan and ask, "Do you think that … Did Junior Uncle and the old tortoise drink wine or poison?"
Seeing how nonchalant the old tortoise and Junior Uncle were, they couldn't help but feel perplexed.
"Of course it's poison!" The Firmament Beast harrumphed. "However, Junior Uncle's cultivation is too powerful. Poison of this grade won't have much effect on him."
"Un …" Yuan Buyi and the others nodded in realization. Just as they were about to remark how unfathomable Junior Uncle was, they suddenly saw a disciple trembling non-stop as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Liu Yi, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Yuan frowned.
"Senior Granduncle is helping me vent my anger …" Liu Yiyi's eyes reddened as she kneeled to the ground.
"Helping you vent your anger?" Everyone was confused.
Gritting her teeth, Liu Yiyi used the artifact to conceal her identity, and her appearance was revealed. "My real name is Liu Yiyi, and I'm from the Great Yan Royal City's Liu Clan. Two years ago, my entire clan was wiped out in a single night, and the culprit was the poison master from earlier … Qiu Yuan!"
The person who had 'challenged' the old tortoise to drinking wine was her enemy, Qiu Yuan.
Senior Granduncle suddenly mentioned drinking wine, and Senior Uncle Turtle suddenly proposed a toast to the other party. Clearly, they were helping her vent her anger … Otherwise, no matter how powerful their cultivation was, there was no need for them to take the risk to drink poisonous wine!
"This …"
The Firmament Beast shuddered.
At this moment, it finally understood why Junior Uncle was able to win the admiration of countless disciples in the Subjugation Immortal Sect in just six days after he came out of seclusion. It started with his cultivation, and finally, his character!
Only with such character would he be worthy of being followed by his juniors.
As for his previous master, Bai Zhanfeng … What else did he know other than acting cool?
The more it thought about it, the angrier it felt. Raising its head, it said, "Everyone, please wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon …"
Sou!
With a leap, it didn't take long for it to arrive at the Great Yan Royal Palace.
Peng peng peng peng!
A moment later, sounds similar to sandbags being hit echoed from the room, followed by Emperor Bai Zhanqing's shrill cries.
He was still angry from being beaten up by Donkey previously, and recalling his previous' trash of a master ', he felt even more furious. If he didn't find a place to vent his anger, he wouldn't be able to calm down.
…
Su Yin didn't know that his unintentional tasting of wine would attract Liu Yiyi's gratitude. At this moment, he was staring at the old tortoise by the side. "Are you alright after drinking so much 'wine'?"
Even though he didn't know how he was able to survive after tasting lethal poison despite being an ordinary human … it was definitely related to the wine tasting technique that the remnant will had imparted to him …
He only started learning wine tasting after he reached sixteen. When he first started drinking, Du Zhuang had prepared quite a few hangover soaps. Some of them had to be drunk in advance, while others had to be drunk later.
Initially, he thought that it could alleviate his headache, but from the looks of it, it could be a kind of antidote.
Later on, after he got used to drinking it, his body developed a resistance to it, and naturally, he wasn't afraid anymore.
But … if he could do this, how could the old tortoise do it too?
"I'm fine!" The old tortoise smiled awkwardly. "I've eaten the dregs of the hangover soaps …"
Du Zhuang's remnant will usually wouldn't let Su Yin see the hangover soaps concocted. Therefore, the dregs and the like were washed in the small river in the forbidden area, and these things were eaten by the old tortoise that lived in it.
With this kind of foundation, coupled with his extremely strong strength, consuming some poison was naturally no problem.
"Alright!" Su Yin smiled bitterly and continued, "Then your strength …"
"I'm slightly weaker than Brother Donkey, but I'm not sure exactly how strong I am, but … I can directly electrocute the green-scaled giant python that master killed last time!"
The old tortoise said after thinking for a while.
It wasn't sure exactly how strong it was, but it was definitely weaker than Donkey.
"Alright …" Su Yin's eyes lit up.
Speaking of which, the true strength of this big fellow had already surpassed Heritage 7-dan. At the very least, it could be considered as one of the strongest in the Great Yan Continent.
It had been quite some time since they left the forbidden area, and the old tortoise had gained quite a bit of understanding. Whenever its master asked, it would tell him everything it knew.
After chatting for a while, the black-robed young man's speed slowed down. Su Yin raised his head to take a look.
They had already left the vicinity of the Great Yan Royal City, and a winding mountain range that resembled a giant dragon appeared before their eyes. It was around three thousand meters tall, and it was covered in white snow. Its length was several thousand li.
The base of the alliance, Great Dragon Mountain!
"This mountain doesn't seem to be formed naturally …" Su Yin was perplexed.
The mountain before him had a dragon's head, whiskers, body, claws, and tail … It looked like a real giant dragon lying on the ground. Rather than calling it a mountain range, it was more accurate to call it a mountain range that was forcefully built by piling many mountains together.
"Elder, it's true that the Great Dragon Mountain wasn't formed naturally. Instead, the experts of the Alliance paid a heavy price to move it here …"
The black-robed young man explained as he coughed blood.
"Move it here?" Su Yin was perplexed. "Why would they move it?"
"To seal the Spirit Abyss!" the black-robed young man replied.
Su Yin was perplexed. "Spirit Abyss? What's that? "
This time, it was the black-robed young man's turn to be perplexed. "Elder, you haven't heard of it before?"
"I've been in the forbidden area ever since I started cultivating, and I only came out six days ago …" Su Yin replied.
"You're right. I forgot about it!"
The black-robed young man was stunned for a moment before recalling the news that he had heard. With an awkward smile, he explained, "In order to prevent panic, the alliance forbade the news of the Spirit Abyss from spreading. Of the many sects, only the sect leader is qualified to know of it … Elder, you're the strongest expert in the Subjugation Immortal Sect, and you'll be participating in the Sect Leader Conference as well. Thus, I decided to explain it to you in advance so that you won't be in the dark when the time comes!"
Su Yin nodded. Seeing that the black-robed young man was still coughing blood, he couldn't help but feel a little apologetic. "Should I treat you first?"
"There's no need for that. I can still hold on …"
After swallowing a few antidote pills, the black-robed young man felt a little better, and he shook his head with a pale face.
As powerful as the poison was, it wasn't fatal. At the very most, his cultivation would plummet for a short period of time. Naturally, there would be a way to resolve it once he returned to the Poison Master Hall.
If the black-robed young man were to make a move on him … he would really be humiliated!
He had challenged the other party to a duel, and the other party had used the means that the black-robed young man was best at in order to take care of him. Yet, he still had to ask the other party to neutralize his poison … If he were to really do that, he would really have to resign from his position as an elder of the Poison Master Hall!
Thus, the black-robed young man decided not to dwell on the matter any longer. "Elder, you should already know that there aren't any spirit veins on the Forsaken Continent, right? In order to allow more people to cultivate, the alliance would provide a batch of grade-1 spirit veins and grade-2 spirit veins every five years … Since there aren't any spirit veins on the Forsaken Continent, where do these spirit veins come from? "
"Didn't you say that it's the work of spirit gatherers?" Su Yin asked. He had heard the Firmament Beast's explanation before.
The black-robed young man replied, "It's the spirit gatherers who gathered the spirit veins. However, without sufficient spiritual energy and spirit veins, how could a spirit gatherer possibly gather the spirit veins?"
Su Yin was taken aback by those words.
Yes, without spirit qi, it was like water without a source, a tree without a root. It would definitely be impossible to gather spirit qi.
The black-robed young man replied, "It's the Spirit Abyss! Not only is there a large amount of spiritual energy in the Spirit Abyss, every five years, a large number of natural treasures will appear there as well. The reason why the various sects on the Forsaken Continent are able to survive to this day and grow stronger and stronger is due to the Spirit Abyss! "
Su Yin asked, "Since it's the source of spiritual energy, why is there a need to seal and suppress it with a mountain?"
"The Spirit Abyss is filled with spiritual energy and treasures, but it's also filled with danger. There's a unique lifeform living there, the Spirit Abyss Troll. This lifeform is able to grow by devouring human cultivators, and it's the natural enemy of mankind … If it isn't sealed, countless ordinary humans will perish if it were to charge out … The Forsaken Continent will be plunged into the flames of war, and there will never be a day of peace!"
The black-robed young man smiled bitterly. "The Eight Great Halls of the Forsaken Continent are actually used to suppress them. The reason why I was so anxious to invite you over was because the head of the Poison Master Hall suffered a backlash from the lethal poison in his body six days ago, and it's unknown whether he's still alive or not … If he's unable to be saved, the area that the Poison Master Hall is suppressing will fall. If that happens, we'll be in deep trouble!
"So … even though I know that I'm not a match for you, I still chose to challenge you. The Poison Master Hall is truly out of options!"
"I see!" Su Yin nodded in realization. "If that's the case, does that mean that Elder Li Chaofeng of the Blacksmith Hall is also guarding the seal?"
"That's right! The passageway that the Blacksmith Hall is guarding is guarded by the weapons that he forged. As long as his fragmented consciousness is still alive, he'll still be able to hold on. However, if he were to die, he'd be plunged into the same predicament as our Poison Master Hall, "the black-robed young man explained.
Su Yin nodded in response.
At this point, he had gained a certain level of understanding of the Forsaken Continent.
All along, he had thought that the Forsaken Continent was just a 'retirement home' for the experts of the various sects, and that it was due to the 'benefits' and 'benefits' that they were unable to return to the Forsaken Continent. However, in the end, that wasn't the case at all.
The Forsaken Continent had the responsibility of guarding the Spirit Abyss, as well as gathering and distributing spirit veins. It was through this that the various sects were able to provide a steady stream of experts to protect the Dry Origin Continent.
Of course, this was all just the black-robed young man's side of the story. Whether it was true or not, Zhang Xuan would have to see it for himself.
"The Eight Great Halls of the Forsaken Continent occupy eight different locations in the Great Dragon Mountain. The Elder Hall is located at the very center of the Elder Peak, and it's roughly the same distance away from the head and tail of the Dragon Mountain. The head of the Dragon Mountain is where the Hall of Sealing is located, and there's a powerful seal there that prevents the Spirit Abyss Demons from taking a single step into the Forsaken Continent! "
The black-robed young man explained. "After that, the Blacksmith Hall, Pill Forging Hall, Beast Taming Hall, Formation Inscription Hall, and Poison Hall are located at the tail of the Dragon Mountain. On the other hand, the Meridian Gathering Hall is where the spiritual energy beneath the seal is concentrated. They will appear at any location where the spiritual energy beneath the seal is concentrated and extract it to form spirit veins …"
Su Yin nodded in agreement. Then, he turned to the black-robed young man and asked curiously, "Does that mean that … the poison that the Poison Master Hall is researching is actually meant to be used against the Spirit Abyss Demons?"
"Un. Poison masters are indeed an occupation that goes against the natural order of the world, but it's not a problem for us to use it against the Spirit Abyss Demons. As long as we can guard the Forsaken Continent and prevent the Spirit Abyss Demons from invading, no matter how hard we work, it won't be a problem at all!"
The black-robed young man said with fiery eyes.
"This …"
Seeing the black-robed young man's reaction, a hint of doubt surfaced in the eyes of the tortoise. It wanted to say something, but in the end, it swallowed its words.
Liu Yiyi had said that her family had been wiped out because they had offended the Prime Minister of the Great Yan royalty, Qiu Zhaojun. The cause of their deaths was poison, and Qiu Yuan was an elder of the Poison Master Hall, as well as a Heritage realm expert.
Thus … she believed that the culprit was Qiu Yuan's doing.
However … based on the conversation earlier, the black-robed young man seemed to have a special interest in protecting the Forsaken Continent, and he was willing to sacrifice himself for it. He couldn't possibly wipe out an entire clan over a minor conflict!
However, this wasn't something that the tortoise should be worried about. It was just a tortoise, and it was already happy enough as long as it could eat some good food and drink some wine. There was no need for it to worry so much.
While the duo was conversing, the tail of the Dragon Mountain appeared in their sight. Two towering halls were built on top of two mountains, and they were built side by side.
One was a Formation Inscription Hall while the other was a Poison Master Hall.
"Elder, this way please!"
The bed descended and stopped right outside the palace.
The black-robed young man didn't rush forward. Instead, he took out a token and tossed it into the air.
Light flickered, and a seal on the outside of the hall seemed to have been activated. A passageway appeared, and the duo and the tortoise walked in.
The Poison Master Hall was a half-sealed hall, and it rejected all visitors. Thus, it was impossible for outsiders to enter unless they were personally led by an elder.
Su Yin looked at the seal before him.
It was an ordinary fishing net that was maintained by spiritual energy. It wasn't too powerful, but once it was fully activated, it wouldn't be easy for even a fourth-dan Heritage realm expert to break it.
More importantly, there was a faint fragrance of wine in the seal, and it was similar to the poisonous gas that the green-scaled python had spat out … In other words, it contained lethal poison!
If one's cultivation wasn't high enough, it was easy for one to die from it.
"The formation contains poison gas … If I can create such a seal, does it mean that … I can fuse the spiritual energy of the formation with the lethal poison gas?"
A thought popped into Zhang Xuan's mind.
If Zhang Xuan wanted to advance his cultivation swiftly, the key was to fuse the spiritual energy of the various occupations together. Even though he didn't have the spiritual energy of the formation and the lethal poison gas yet, once he found them and fused them together, wouldn't he be able to achieve a breakthrough to Zongshi realm and reach Heritage realm easily?
If that was the case, he wouldn't have to worry too much about his safety even if he didn't bring the tortoise and Donkey with him.
"Something's not right. These seals seem to be connected to a huge area …"
Soon, Su Yin noticed that something was amiss.
The seal above the Poison Master Hall didn't mean that it was a single hall. Instead, it was connected by countless thin threads that extended into the distance, shrouding the entire Great Dragon Mountain.
"The eight halls are all connected by the same seal, and it's controlled by the Dragon Mountain's Sealing Hall. Even though the eight halls are separated, they are still united. That's why they were able to fend off the attacks of the Soul Abyss Demon so many times … "
The black-robed young man said.
Su Yin nodded in agreement.
That's right. Only such a huge fishing net could cover such a large area and connect the Eight Great Halls together.
While they were speaking, the two men and one beast arrived at the entrance of the Poison Master Hall. Pushing open the heavy doors, they slowly walked in.
What lay beyond the doors wasn't a spacious hall. Instead, it was divided into many rooms, and the aroma of different wines wafted from each of them.
"Fifteen years of Noble Spring, Night Emperor Red stored in an ice cellar, Qingpu Fragrance steamed nine times …" Su Yin took a whiff and was taken aback. It felt as if he had arrived at a fine wine collection instead of a Poison Master Hall. The aroma of the wine was intoxicating.
"As poison masters, most of us are studying poison and how to increase our offensive prowess. On top of that, there aren't any outsiders around, so the place is a little messy …"
After walking for a while longer, the black-robed young man said awkwardly.
As one of the halls that hunted the most Soul Abyss Demons, the Poison Master Hall should have been an authoritative place in the eyes of outsiders. However, upon entering the place, one would realize that it was no different from an ordinary workshop.
Abandoned bottles, medicinal dregs, and dried medicinal herbs could be seen everywhere. There were even some unique demonic beasts and animals locked in some of the rooms.
"These are all used to test for poison …"
In order to concoct a new poison, one had to test it with a living being in order to ascertain whether it was effective or not. Only then would one be able to ascertain the dosage and prowess of the poison. And these demonic beasts and animals were used for this purpose.
"Qiu Yuan, you're here … You must be the young senior uncle of the Zhenxian Sect!"
While they were walking forward, an elder walked over with anxiety in his eyes. "The hall master can't hold on for much longer. Young senior uncle, please hurry up and save him …"
"Let's go in and take a look!"
Since he was already here, there was no need for Su Yin to say anything more. He hurriedly followed behind the other party, and before long, they arrived at a spacious room.
There were bottles and jars everywhere in the room, and there were even severed limbs soaked in medicinal herbs. It was as if they had entered a hell, and an eerie stench filled the room. At the center of the room, there was a large bed. An elder lay on it, and around him stood seven to eight middle-aged men. Every single one of them had a powerful aura, and they didn't pale in comparison to the black-robed young man, Qiu Yuan.
They were all experts above the Heritage Realm!
As expected of the Poison Master Hall, which had killed the most enemies. With such a lineup, it was easy for them to wipe out a first-rate sect. Even if there were five of the Zhenxian Sect, they wouldn't be able to stand against them.
He looked at the room, and everyone else in the room looked over as well.
This young senior uncle had just appeared, and the three hall masters had already come to welcome him personally. They thought that his cultivation was high, and his bearing was unparalleled. However, when they saw him in person, they felt a little disappointed.
He had the appearance of an eight-year-old, and his eyes were clear and clean. There wasn't the slightest fluctuation of Zhen Yuan in his body. When he walked on the streets, he looked inconspicuous, and he didn't have the bearing of an expert at all.
How could such a young fellow come back from the dead and concoct a Supreme Dan? Why didn't it seem like it?
However, there was no other way. They could only place their hopes on the other party.
"This is our hall master. Young senior uncle, please treat him …" The elder who led the way pointed at the elder lying on the bed and said.
Without saying anything, Su Yin walked up to the elder and circled around the wooden bed.
The face of the hall master of the Poison Master Hall was dark, and his skin had already turned gray. His vitality had been cut off, and there wasn't any breath coming from his mouth or nose. If one didn't pay close attention, they would think that he was a corpse.
It was no wonder the black-robed young man was so anxious. Most people would think that he was beyond saving.
"Who can tell me what happened?" Su Yin looked at the crowd and asked.
"Six days ago, something happened in the world. The Lingyuan Giant Demon seemed to have been provoked by something, and it started attacking the seal and the poison barrier that our Poison Master Hall left behind. Left with no choice, the hall master could only make a move personally. After sustaining severe injuries, the lethal poison that he had been suppressing for many years couldn't be suppressed any longer.
The elder who led the way sighed and shook his head.
In order to improve swiftly, poison masters would be able to concoct even more potent poisons. Ever since they started cultivating, they would consume a small amount of lethal poison every day. When their cultivation was strong, they would be able to suppress it easily. However, if they were to sustain severe injuries, they would be unable to withstand it. Thus, the accumulation that they had accumulated over the years would erupt, resulting in a qualitative change.
This was the case for the young man before them.
When he was at his peak, it wasn't a problem at all. However, after sustaining severe injuries, the latent poison in his body was triggered. Even though everyone present was an expert in medicine, there was nothing they could do about it.
"Only a supreme antidote will be able to save the hall master. We have already prepared the ingredients. If it's convenient for you, young martial uncle, please concoct the antidote now. As long as it can save the hall master, we are willing to pay any price …"
The elder continued.
"Un!"
Interrupting the elder, Su Yin stretched out his finger and placed it on the other party's pulse. A moment later, he frowned and said, "Do you know what kind of poison he usually consumes?"
"This …"
With a bitter smile, the elder shook his head and said, "What kind of poison a poison master consumes and what kind of poison they are resistant to … is a secret in their cultivation. Even though we are master and disciple, we don't know what kind of poison the hall master consumes! If we knew, we wouldn't be so helpless right now … "
That was the truth.
Every poison master had a different resistance to poison. What they were good at was their trump card. They rarely showed it to others.
"There are many kinds of poisons in his body. If we don't know what kind of poisons he consumes, it will be … difficult to save him!"
Su Yin explained.
When different kinds of poisons were mixed together, there would be all kinds of changes. It would be hard to separate them, and it would be much harder to cure them. If he didn't know what kind of poisons he consumes, even he wouldn't be able to cure the hall master easily.
Unless … he used a special method. However, the people in front of him wouldn't allow him to do that. Thus, the best way was to ask if anyone knew what he was doing.
"That's why we came to you, young martial uncle. Antidote can cure all kinds of poisons. A supreme level antidote should be able to cure all kinds of poisons in his body …"
One of the middle-aged men frowned and said.
If they knew what kind of poison the hall master consumes, they would be able to cure him too. Why would they need an outsider?
"It's true that a supreme level antidote can cure all kinds of poisons, but … the poison is attacking his heart, and his body is hardening. He is on the verge of death. If he doesn't take a supreme level antidote, he will die!"
Su Yin humphed.
The police could save people, but the kidnapper had a knife in his neck, and he had gone mad. If he used the police to threaten him, he might end up killing him instead of saving him!
The hall master of the Poison Hall was in such a state. The poison was attacking his heart, and he was on the verge of death. There might be a way to cure the poison in his body, but if he consumed a powerful antidote … even a god wouldn't be able to do it.
"What should we do then?"
"Since he consumes these poisons, he must have them with him. Take them all out. I will try to identify them one by one. Perhaps, I can find out what kind of poisons he consumes!"
After thinking for a while, Su Yin said.
"Take them all out?"
Everyone was surprised. "A poison master carries at least a hundred kinds of poisons. Isn't it too difficult to find them one by one …"
"I have my ways!"
Su Yin smiled.
"Alright then!"
Knowing that there was no time to waste, an old man stepped forward and crushed the hall master's storage ring. In an instant, a large pile of bottles and jars appeared in the empty room. There were at least a hundred of them.
Feeling the poison from the jars, the poison masters all looked solemn. They took a few steps back and secretly operated their Zhen Yuan to resist the poison.
The hall master was a super powerhouse in the seventh level of Inheritance. The poisons he used could even paralyze a ninth level powerhouse easily. Even if they weren't weak, they didn't dare to touch them.
"There are so many poisons, and many of them are similar. How do we identify them?"
An old man couldn't help but ask through telepathy.
In fact, this was also what puzzled the others.
Most poisons were made to be colorless and tasteless in order to be consumed. It couldn't be seen through normal observation. One could only observe the effect after using it … However, it took too long to do so. The hall master couldn't afford to wait.
"I don't know either. Perhaps, he has a good idea …"
The old man leading the way shook his head. Just as he was thinking that something was amiss, the young man flicked his finger, and a puddle of clear water appeared. He washed his hands quietly, took out a napkin, and hung it around his neck. Then, he walked elegantly to Jars and Jars, took out a jade goblet, and poured out some of the liquid.
He closed his eyes and took a whiff, tasting the liquid elegantly.
"Twenty-two-year-old Verdant Bamboo. It took a little too long to stir-fry the Verdant Grass. If only it took seven breaths less, the bitterness would be reduced, and the sweetness would be more pronounced. What a pity!"
"There's no problem with the brewing method of eighty-five-year-old Broken Yellow Liquid. However, if this was replaced with oxtail grass, the taste wouldn't be as strong, and the texture would be much better!"
"It should be less than three months since it was brewed. Furthermore, it's made from a mixture of seven different ingredients. It would be difficult to trick someone into drinking it. However, if one were to force it down, the effect would be quite good …"
Su Yin remarked as he tasted the liquid.
"…"
“？？？”
The room was so silent that one could hear a pin drop. All of the poison masters were dumbfounded.
