Venerable Poyue took a deep breath, his heart pounding. He said seriously, "You were also poisoned by the Seven Cold Soul Stealing Technique? Who poisoned you? You've been in the Flying Star Sect for so long, why didn't you tell me sooner? This poison is extremely domineering and will damage your spiritual veins."
Qi Yu said, "This disciple did indeed receive the soul of the Seven Cold Kingdoms, but as for who poisoned me..."
"...This disciple actually does not know."
She searched through the original owner's memories for anything related to Seven Cold Soul Stealing, but strangely, she couldn't find any relevant memories.
This Seven Cold Soul-Stealing Pill appeared out of thin air and was suddenly placed into the Heart-Burning Food by Qi Yu. It was then discovered by Chu Mo, and ultimately the original owner suffered the consequences.
Qi Yu said, "As for why I didn't tell you, Venerable One, it's because the poison in my body has been cured."
Venerable Poyue suddenly stood up and said with a flick of his sleeve, "Impossible. The Seven Cold Soul-Stealing Technique was created by the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley. This Valley Master died long ago and did not leave behind any antidote for the Seven Cold Soul-Stealing Technique before his death. It is impossible to cure it."
Qi Yu chewed on the three unfamiliar words "Hundred Flowers Valley" and began to make a guess.
She smiled and said, "Venerable One, please don't be so absolute in your statements. Aren't I perfectly fine?"
Looking at Qi Yu's rosy complexion, Venerable Poyue suddenly said "Excuse me" and reached out to grab Qi Yu's wrist. Before he could sense the pulse, his hand was forcefully pushed away.
A tall, silver-haired man appeared out of nowhere inside the cave.
He was handsome and had a strong aggressive air about him. He pulled Qi Yu away and coldly said to Venerable Poyue, "Watch your hands and feet."
Venerable Poyue looked at the uninvited guest, then at his clasped hands with Qi Yu, and hesitated before asking, "Your Excellency... are you the same person from last time?"
Qi Yu shook off Feng Xiao's hand and glared at him.
Feng Xiao tilted his head slightly, pretending not to see Qi Yu's gaze.
Venerable Poyue scrutinized Feng Xiao closely, quickly searching his mind for someone whose strength matched that of the person before him, but found none at all.
When did such a figure emerge in the world of cultivation?
Qi Yu chuckled dryly and began to make up a story: "Venerable One, this is the sect leader's master who invited him to instruct the disciples, uh, to teach the disciples magic. You don't need to worry about him."
Feng Xiao, who inexplicably acquired a new identity: "?"
Seeing Qi Yu stammering about mentioning the sect leader, Venerable Poyue had a guess in his mind, but he didn't expose it and said, "It's nothing. May I ask how this gentleman is addressed?"
Feng Xiao said coldly, "You are not qualified to know about me..."
Before he could utter his harsh words, Qi Yu chuckled and said, "His surname is Xiao, so you can call him Xiao Feng, Venerable One."
Feng Xiao, whose name was inexplicably changed: "?"
Venerable Poyue said knowingly, "So it's Young Master Xiao. Don't worry, I just wanted to know if there were any lingering poisons from the Seven Cold Soul-Stealing Technique in her body. I won't do anything to her."
Qi Yu said, "I am very grateful for your concern, Venerable One, but there is indeed no remaining poison in my body. If you do not believe me, you can come and see for yourself."
She extended a section of her fair wrist and offered it to Venerable Poyue.
Feng Xiao watched intently from the side, but Venerable Po Yue, in order to find the answer, still placed his hand on Qi Yu's wrist and carefully sensed it for a long time.
After a long pause, he withdrew his hand and exclaimed in realization, "It really is..."
Venerable Poyue looked at Qi Yu with puzzlement and asked, "How did you detoxify yourself?"
Finally, they've gotten to the crucial question.
Qi Yu's lips curled slightly as he said, "This disciple once obtained two antidote pills that could cure all poisons in the world. After taking them, the Seven Cold Soul-Stealing Technique was easily cured."
Venerable Broken Moon asked excitedly, "Really?"
He had been tormented by the Seven Cold Soul-Stealing Technique for far too long, and hearing Qi Yu's words was like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
Qi Yu laughed and said, "Is this even a lie?"
"Actually, when I first entered the Flying Star Sect, I wanted to tell you about this, but I couldn't find a suitable opportunity. I still have one of those antidote pills, and normally I should offer it to you." She paused, then said softly, "However, this antidote pill is precious, Your Majesty..."
Seeing the look in her eyes, Venerable Broken Moon readily agreed, "If you have any requests, please speak them."
Qi Yu chuckled and said, "There are quite a few interesting things in the Venerable One's cave, disciple..."
Before she could finish stating all the conditions she had prepared, Venerable Poyue readily agreed, "As long as it can cure the poison, you can ask for anything I can refine, however much you want."
Qi Yu's eyes widened. She had only intended to take a few things back to play with, since she had made up the story about rare and precious antidotes. One antidote would not be enough to empty her pockets.
She never expected Venerable Poyue to be such an honest person, making such a promise, which far exceeded her expectations.
She coughed lightly and said, "Your Excellency, wouldn't this be..."
"Although I am not quite the top weapon refiner, I am still somewhat famous..." Venerable Poyue tilted his head slightly and said, "If you have a weapon refiner you admire and want to ask that person to refine weapons for you, I can also make a connection."
Qi Yu quickly replied, "No, no, cough, Venerable One is too modest. Being able to obtain a magic weapon crafted by Venerable One is already enough for me to show off."
Having received Venerable Poyue's promise, she no longer held back and spent another two hundred points from the system shop to buy a Six Cleansing Detoxification Pill.
The Six Cleansing Detoxification Pill appeared in her hand. The small pill emitted a pleasant fragrance. As an elder of the Flying Star Sect, a major sect of alchemy, Venerable Poyue had seen countless precious pills and could tell at a glance that this pill was extraordinary. He believed Qi Yu's words even more.
Qi Yu handed the pill to Venerable Poyue and said, "Venerable, this is the antidote pill. It will take effect immediately after you take it."
Venerable Poyue took the antidote pill and swallowed it without hesitation.
In an instant, a chilling aura emanated from his body, and his eyelashes instantly frosted over.
Qi Yu was startled and quickly called out to the system in her mind.
[System, is there anything wrong with your antidote pill? He seems to be in worse shape.]
The system's claims were being questioned, and a voice immediately jumped in, saying: "[Impossible, absolutely impossible! The products sold in the system's shop are all carefully selected, and there's no way they can't be used to cure poison, let alone worse. Host, just wait a little longer; the antidote will take effect soon.]"
Qi Yu looked at the Broken Moon Venerable, who was gradually freezing and about to become an ice sculpture, with disbelief.
What should we do? Venerable Poyue's situation is so similar to the description of Qi Han's Soul-Stealing Poison taking full effect.
What if Venerable Broken Moon dies because of her substandard medicine...?
Qi Yu was so anxious that she paced around in circles. She reached out her finger and poked the Broken Moon Venerable, who had turned into an ice sculpture, and was so cold that she shivered all over.
Feng Xiao stood silently to the side, then suddenly flicked his sleeve, and pale flames leaped out from his sleeve and flew toward the ice sculpture.
The ice sculpture was instantly ignited, and Qi Yu's jaw nearly dropped as she turned to look at Feng Xiao in astonishment.
Dude! The person isn't even dead yet, why are you already trying to cover up the crime?!
