Most poisons are not actually alive, because no living organism can remain active indefinitely. However, prepared poisons can be stored for decades or even centuries. Single-component toxins, such as herbal or animal toxins, cannot survive for long without processing. Poisons are actually a type of active protease that cannot survive in the air for long.
Therefore, it is necessary to mix and combine various unstable toxins, just like a chemical reaction, to turn them into a more stable and potent poison. This is the job of a toxicologist.
The work of an antidote specialist is exactly the opposite: to break down poisons one by one, making stable poisons unstable, and finally rendering them ineffective, thus neutralizing the poison.
But a poison like Hua Xiaolou's was truly unprecedented, and Zhu Zi was immediately filled with fighting spirit, as he loved taking on challenging tasks.
"There's poison in this yam cake."
Ye Qingqing took out the remaining piece of yam cake, which she had specially saved for Zhu Zi to study, as she was not as skilled as Zhu Zi in poison techniques.
The poisonous bud quietly decomposed, still only the size of a mung bean, lying quietly on the leaf. Lu Mo bought some fresh chicken blood from the market and dripped some onto the leaf. The venom began to grow larger. Zhu Zi and Ye Tong observed the decomposition of the poisonous bud with a magnifying glass, their expressions becoming increasingly solemn.
After feeding the baby a bowl of chicken blood, the venom had expanded dozens of times, reaching the size of a baby's fist.
"This growth rate is too fast. If it enters a human body, it will turn into a dried corpse in less than 24 hours," Zhu Zi said in a deep voice.
"Hua Xiaolou gave me 24 hours. I don't know what kind of adventure that made him so powerful all of a sudden," Ye Qingqing said angrily.
"How did you detoxify?" Zhu Zi asked curiously.
He still can't think of a way to detoxify, how come Ye Qingqing could think of one?
Ye Qingqing said smugly, "My husband and An Anjing solved it."
Hmph, don't think she doesn't know what that deadpan face is thinking. She may not be smart or capable, but who made her to have a capable husband and three capable children? That's her skill!
Lu Mo explained the detoxification process: "It's actually very simple. These buds are not poison in the strict sense. They are like algae in rivers. They are not poisonous themselves and may even be food for fish. However, if the algae are too dense, they will block the air and cause the fish to die from lack of oxygen. To save the fish, you must kill the algae. Fire is the most effective way."
Zhu Zi's eyes lit up, but she was still puzzled, "The poisonous bud is inside the body, how can it be attacked with fire?"
Ye Qingqing couldn't help but interject, "That's my family's quiet and peaceful skill. Don't ask anymore, you won't learn it even if you ask, unless you're reincarnated again."
Zhu Zi's face darkened; he knew this stupid woman was helpless. He sneered, "As a successor of medical classics, you can't even cure this little bit of poison? What are you so smug about?"
"You're supposed to be the sect leader of the Poison Sect, yet you can't cure it either. What right do you have to criticize me?" Ye Qingqing retorted without backing down. "Don't laugh at Ah Er, Ah Da! What's with the arrogance?"
Zhu Zi gritted her teeth and turned her head away, not wanting to see this stupid woman.
However, he was extremely envious. This stupid woman might not be very bright, but she was very capable in giving birth to three outstanding children. Even if he didn't want to get married, he was extremely envious.
Ye Tong reached out and touched Tang Yuanyuan's forehead, his expression serious; he already knew what was going on.
"It's the lingering resentment of Tsumabu Mai. I was too careless back then, allowing a wisp of Tsumabu Mai's resentment to escape and choose to parasitize Hua Xiaolou. The current Hua Xiaolou is no longer the Hua Xiaolou of the past." Ye Tong felt extremely guilty.
