Ye Xiruo quickly devoured a beggar's chicken, and still not satisfied, she took out a braised pig's trotter, gnawing on it while using her mental power to scan for all sorts of bizarre poison recipes.
"This smell." Grand Secretary Su took a deep sniff of the aroma of roast chicken mixed with braised pork knuckle in the air, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
He had tasted this delicious food many times when he was traveling. Since returning to Mo City, the food here has been indescribable. He hadn't touched the food here for many years. He never expected to smell this familiar aroma again today. This little girl is from the outside world.
Grand Secretary Su was absolutely certain of this.
Ye Xiruo devoured a beggar's chicken, three braised pig's trotters, and what looked like four large bones in one go, then drank a bowl of clear fish soup before stopping.
"What's that smell? It smells so good!"
Upon smelling the fragrance, the disciples who were engrossed in their studies in the library could no longer sit still and got up to try and find the source of the scent.
Seeing this, Grand Secretary Su waved his hand and set up a barrier in front of Ye Xiruo, hiding her figure and blocking the spread of the fragrance.
"I guarantee with a grade seven spiritual medicine that this absolutely tastes like roast chicken."
"You think roast chicken can smell this good? You're kidding me. I don't believe it for a million years."
"Don't believe me? My sister, who married far away, came back to visit and brought back a lot of delicious food. This tastes very similar to that roast chicken, but it seems even more fragrant."
"Who is this? How can someone be so heartless as to poison the library? How can anyone read in peace?"
"It's ridiculous that you can't control yourself and then blame others."
"You have good self-control. Why did you stand up? Why don't you keep reading?"
After searching for a long time, the group of alchemists found nothing. As the fragrance in the air gradually dissipated, they could find even less.
"That guy must have finished eating, then patted his butt and left. Otherwise, how do you explain it?"
"We let her get away this time, but we'll definitely catch her next time."
"what?"
"Ask her where she bought it! Don't you want to eat it?"
A row of people nodded in unison; they had been dreaming of this for ages.
So, without Ye Xiruo's knowledge, she gave their Drunken Immortal Pavilion an advertisement.
After searching for a long time, Ye Xiruo was still clueless; these poisons were all sorts of strange and unusual. She wondered if the poison that had afflicted the Bai family patriarch had been included in the database. If not, she was doomed; she could only rely on the system.
Ye Xiruo spent an afternoon going through all the poison pill formulas, but didn't find the one she wanted to know.
Since looking at the poison isn't enough, let's look at the antidote! Maybe we can find some clues.
As night fell, Ye Xiruo remained in the library, several luminous pearls floating in front of her, as she quickly searched for a cure.
What are you looking for? Perhaps I can help you.
An old and profound voice suddenly entered Ye Xiruo's ears. Who was this person? This spiritual energy fluctuation was the strongest she had ever sensed, even surpassing Xue Gongfeng. It should be the senior from You Ran Ju Zhong.
"Reporting to senior, I am searching for an antidote, but without success."
"The art of poison is vast and profound; a slight error can lead to disastrous consequences."
“I know, but since it is a matter of life and death, I should do my best. If it is truly impossible, then I will have no regrets.”
Very good, what a fine example of living up to one's conscience. How many alchemists can still do that nowadays?
Ye Xiruo inadvertently made her presence known to Grand Secretary Su once again.
"In the library, on the third shelf on the far right, there is a book that might be helpful to you."
"Thank you, senior."
"That's great!" Ye Xiruo put away the antidote prescription in her hand and rushed to the rightmost shelf. The books here must be very precious. Even though she was on a seed-level treatment, she could only look at two books a month, and the first-level treatment was one book.
Those who receive other privileges will be granted the exceptional privilege of viewing the scriptures here unless they have performed great service to the Abode of Leisure.
The shelves here are clearly different from the others. The items on each shelf are very small, and each item is protected by a restriction. To see what's inside, you have to break the restriction; otherwise, it's futile.
The strength of this restriction is too great for those with spiritual power below the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. However, it was a very simple matter for Ye Xiruo. She covered her hand with a thin layer of spiritual power, then reached in and easily took out the thin booklet inside.
The blue cover bears the two large characters "Medicine Classic," and one can still vaguely sense the carefree and unrestrained spirit of the person who wrote it.
Having received the book, Ye Xiruo sat down immediately and began to examine it. Among the rare poisons of heaven and earth, the number one was "Azure Blood Heart." The name sounded beautiful and dreamlike. Those who were poisoned by Azure Blood Heart would have their internal organs and bone marrow corroded by the poison. All the blood essence of the poisoned person would be integrated into their heart. The poisoned person would definitely not live more than ten days.
By the tenth day, the entire person will turn into a pool of blood, leaving only a bright green heart, which is a superior healing and training material, condensing the essence of the blood and veins of the entire body.
Once, the "Loyal Heart" technique caused a huge uproar in the cultivation world. This poison, which harms others for personal gain, was used by many unscrupulous and eager-to-achieve individuals to harm their loved ones in order to obtain the emerald green heart for their cultivation.
For a time, everyone in the cultivation world was in danger, but unfortunately there was no antidote for the Azure Heart Poison. The only thing that the poisoned person could do was commit suicide within the first five days, so as to disrupt the coagulation of the emerald green heart and prevent the poisoner from taking advantage of the situation.
Damn it, such a heinous poison was naturally unacceptable to the world. Soon, all the alchemists who refined the Jade Blood Elixir were killed, and those who used the Jade Blood Elixir to harm people were also hunted down. Only then did this bloody storm finally subside.
However, it's hard to say whether the remnants will survive.
Ye Xiruo suddenly felt a sense of crisis. She realized that her current strength was too weak to protect the people around her. She needed to work harder to protect Brother Xiu Qi and the others.
She firmly believed that even the most valiant and loyal heart had an antidote; everything in the universe has its counterpart, and nothing is absolute. Her worry was that she herself couldn't achieve it.
The second-ranked poison is called Snow Soul. Those poisoned by it will lose all their vitality and turn into a lifelike ice sculpture. It is a type of cold poison, and the antidote is not mentioned above.
The third-ranked poison is called Tianxing, a mixture of highly toxic substances. It takes at least five years to complete the poisoning, and the final ingredient is Zizhu.
Finally found it: the poison that the Bai family patriarch was afflicted with was actually the Heavenly Star Poison.
