Ling Tianxing laughed and said, "Elder Cao, don't be so impulsive. Elder Lin's words make a lot of sense. It's a favor if he helps you, and it's his right not to. So don't make a fuss here."
Seeing that Ling Tianxing also spoke up for Ye Feng, Cao Changqing's expression became even more unpleasant.
Cao Changqing then snorted angrily and said no more.
Ye Feng then looked at the other alchemists and asked, "Who else wants to try?"
The alchemists looked at each other, and for a moment none of them dared to step forward to detoxify this unfortunate outer disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.
After all, they had all witnessed Cao Changqing's failure.
Night Wind reminded them, "If none of you try, then I'll have to take action. But there's one thing you need to understand: our Divine Wood Sect Master, True Person Qingmu, just said that rankings will be based on the degree of healing provided. If I heal this outer disciple directly, I'm afraid only Elder Cao and I, who just helped, will get a ranking. Everyone who didn't help will be eliminated!"
“Alright, I’ll give it a try!” An alchemist stepped forward from the group.
Ling Tianxing chuckled and said, "Elder Lin, aren't you afraid that other alchemists will heal this person first? If you haven't made a move yet, and this outer disciple of the Divine Wood Sect is healed by other alchemists, you won't get a ranking either."
"It doesn't matter, I don't care anyway," Ye Feng said nonchalantly.
Ling Tianxing was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, alright, Elder Lin, you're quite willful."
Sun Shaoling smiled too.
The tense and oppressive atmosphere around them lessened considerably, and the alchemist who was refining pills to detoxify the outer disciples of the Divine Wood Sect also felt less pressured.
Another hour passed before they knew it, and a new elixir was produced.
"It's actually the Spirit Heart Jade Body Pill!"
Sun Shaoling's face showed deep surprise.
Ling Tianxing further stated, "The Spirit Heart Jade Body Pill may not be considered a top-tier antidote, but it is a top-tier elixir for counteracting poisons!"
People from all the major sects around the square heard what Sun Shaoling and Ling Tianxing were saying, and Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing naturally heard it as well.
Sun Muqing asked, completely bewildered, "Lingxuan, why would the Lingyun Sect Master say that? Isn't his statement contradictory?"
“It’s not contradictory; detoxification is not the same as controlling poison,” Jiang Lingxuan said with a smile.
"Stop speaking in riddles, explain it to me quickly." Sun Muqing looked at Jiang Lingxuan curiously.
Jiang Lingxuan then continued, "The Spirit Heart Jade Body Pill is a seventh-grade spiritual pill. Although it has an effect on detoxification, it is not very good and is far from comparable to the Heavenly Spirit Reversal Pill. However, once the Spirit Heart Jade Body Pill is taken, it will cause the physical body and soul to undergo a very miraculous change within an hour, becoming as pure as jade."
"Therefore, within this hour, almost no toxin can penetrate the human body! This is why Sect Master Ling said that the Spirit Heart Jade Body Pill is a first-class elixir for counteracting poisons."
Sun Muqing suddenly realized and laughed, "I see... Now that this outer disciple of the Divine Wood Sect has been poisoned, will the Spirit Heart Jade Body Pill still be effective?"
"I don't know either, but we'll have the results soon," Jiang Lingxuan said.
Just like Cao Changqing before, this alchemist used his own true energy to dissolve the medicinal power of the elixir and infuse it into the body of the outer disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.
After the medicinal power of the Spirit Heart Jade Body Pill fully entered the body of this outer disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, the disciple's body underwent miraculous changes.
His body no longer seemed to be made of flesh and blood, but rather turned milky white, like a human-shaped jade sculpture!
"The Spirit Heart Jade Body Pill's effects last for one hour. We'll check the results again after one hour, and hopefully it will be successful," the alchemist said with a smile.
"The Spirit Heart Jade Body Pill has effects on both the physical body and the soul. Using both methods together might really work," Ling Tianxing said.
"Sect Master Ling, thank you for your kind words."
The alchemist said with a chuckle.
An hour is neither a long nor a short time; it passes in no time.
Once the time was up, the body of this outer disciple of the Divine Wood Sect returned to normal.
He was still lying on the ground unconscious, looking extremely unwell; his condition was even worse than before.
"This...it has no effect?" the alchemist said in shock.
“If the Spirit Heart Jade Body Pill were taken first, followed by the Heart Devouring Soul Destroying Pill, then the Heart Devouring Soul Destroying Pill would have no effect on this outer disciple. But now that he has been poisoned by the Heart Devouring Soul Destroying Pill first, the effects of the Spirit Heart Jade Body Pill naturally cannot counteract the poison of the Heart Devouring Soul Destroying Pill.”
"The Spirit Heart Jade Body Pill is like a suit of armor, while the Heart Devouring Soul Destroying Pill is like a poisoned blade. Although armor can block a blade, what's the use of putting on armor if you've already been wounded?"
Night Breeze spoke calmly, and then gave a simple and easy-to-understand example to explain the reasoning behind it.
"Then there's nothing I can do, sigh."
The alchemist sighed, shook his head, and stepped aside.
Subsequently, the remaining alchemists also took the plunge and tried it out.
Night fell.
The sun rises.
A night passed, and the outer disciple of the Divine Wood Sect was in even worse condition, as the poison of the Heart-Devouring Soul-Extinguishing Pill took deeper root in his body!
The treatments offered by those alchemists were completely ineffective.
The only ones who haven't made a move yet are Ling Tianxing, Sun Shaoling, and Ye Feng.
Sun Shaoling glanced at Ye Feng and asked, "Elder Lin, are you really going to be the last to make a move?"
"Mm." Night Breeze nodded with a smile.
"Then you probably won't have a chance."
Sun Shaoling smiled slightly and looked at Ling Tianxing, saying, "Sect Master Ling, I've heard that your Lingyun Sect has a kind of pill that can temper the physical body and even transform it completely?"
"That's right."
Ling Tianxing nodded emphatically, a look of pride on his face.
"This pill was created by the previous sect master of our Lingyun Sect. It's called the Heaven-Changing Pill. After taking the Heaven-Changing Pill, one can reshape their physical body and make it stronger!" Ling Tianxing said solemnly.
“Since the physical body can be reshaped, then neutralizing the toxicity of the Heart-Devouring Soul-Extinguishing Pill within the body is a piece of cake,” Sun Shaoling nodded.
Ling Tianxing said, "However, the Heaven-Changing Earth Pill only works on the physical body and has no effect on the soul, so..."
"Sect Leader Ling, have you ever heard of the Divine Firmament Soul-Shaping Pill from our Danxia Cave?" Sun Shaoling asked with a smile.
"Of course I've heard of it. The Divine Firmament Soul-Shaping Pill is a spiritual pill created by the 67th generation sect leader of your Danxia Cave after improving upon a pill formula obtained from a secret realm."
