Chapter 50: Disaster
Xiao Bai came to the bluestone platform and randomly selected a key to insert into the keyhole of the first box, but he felt a resistance halfway through.
"It seems that this is not the key!" Xiao Bai took it out and replaced it with another key. This time it was inserted without any resistance.
If this key didn't work, Xiao Bai would really doubt his luck.
Gently twisting the key, a "click" sound came from the box, suddenly resounding throughout the stone chamber.
Xiao Bai opened the box directly. As for the danger, he had already used his soul power to check it out. There was no mechanism or poison in it.
In the opened stone box, a colorful scroll lay quietly inside.
Looking at this colorful scroll, Xiao Bai knew that this should be the famous "Seven Color Poison Sutra".
Xiao Bai picked up the scroll in the box, looked at it in his hand, and looked at the small words on the side of the scroll. It was indeed the Seven Color Poison Sutra.
Opening it, it recorded the preparation methods of various poisons and the detailed explanation of the toxicity of various poisons.
Moreover, the poisons were graded like elixirs. The highest poison recipe recorded was the sixth-grade poison, which was a threat to Dou Zong.
In the Dou Qi Continent, there is a profession that specializes in poison research—poison master. It was originally evolved from the profession of physician. Most of them are people who cannot become Alchemists but are very interested in pharmacology and medicinal properties.
They started to cure diseases and save people, but in this world where the strong are respected, either for self-protection or out of greed, they began to use medicinal poisons to try to develop poison recipes, and finally formed this special profession.
The Izumo Empire in the north of the Jiama Empire is the paradise of poison masters. Poison masters that are rarely seen in other places can be seen everywhere there.
Poison masters are a very disgusting profession in the Dou Qi Continent. They are at two extremes from Alchemists. One is respected and the other is hated by everyone.
"Xiao Bai, you are not interested in poison masters, are you?" When Xiao Bai was stunned, Yao Lao saw him in the ring and was obsessed with the Seven Color Poison Sutra, so he spoke hurriedly.
This kid's talent for alchemy is unmatched, so we can't let such a good seedling go astray.
In Yao Lao's opinion, Alchemists are thousands of times more noble than poison masters, and the two cannot even be compared together. Poison masters are not worthy.
If Alchemists are the broad road, poison masters are not even the narrow path.
"Your talent for alchemy is rare in my life. Don't be greedy for a moment and learn to be a poison master. There is no future!" Yao Lao saw that he didn't speak and continued to persuade.
"Don't worry! Senior, I won't specialize in this thing, I just want to take a look out of curiosity!" Xiao Bai's eyes flashed with a warm color, and he answered in a gentle voice.
"That's good!" Yao Lao breathed a sigh of relief. If Xiao Bai really inherited his alchemy skills in the future, he would be half of his heir. If this kid is determined to be a poison master, Yao Lao will really feel sorry.
Xiao Bai gradually opened all the scrolls, and when he saw the end, there was indeed a record of "Evil Poison Body" on it.
"The Evil Poison Body is a very strange physique on the Dou Qi Continent. This physique requires almost no practice, and only requires continuous swallowing of poison to convert it into poisonous Dou Qi, quickly improving strength.
How to identify: People born with the Evil Poison Body have a thin colorful line on their lower abdomen, which grows with the growth of poisonous Dou Qi in the body. When the colorful line extends to the heart, the Evil Poison Body is the strongest, and at the same time, it will also suffer from the pain of being bitten by all poisons!"
"Senior, is the Evil Poison Body mentioned above really that magical? Can quickly improve strength without practice?" Xiao Bai asked Yao Lao pretending to be puzzled.
Why did he open this scroll? He was just a little curious, but the most important thing was that he wanted to use this opportunity to guide Yao Lao to tell him that he had the method of poison pill.
In this way, no matter when he went to Yao Lao to trade the method of poison pill in the future, it would not seem abrupt.
"Haha~ Magical? Xiao Bai, you have to know that there is nothing in this world that can be gained without hard work. This rapid growth of strength will eventually pay a heavy price!"
Yao Lao sneered first, and then continued in a low voice:
"The Evil Poison Body can certainly rely on poison to quickly improve its strength, but poison is poison after all. Although this physique can be used to prevent backlash in the early stage, when the poison in the body increases and becomes too much for the physique to suppress, that is the most painful time for them, and they will slowly die in the pain of being bitten by all kinds of poisons!"
"Then is there no solution?" Xiao Bai asked curiously.
"Yes! If you find out that you have a body of evil poison, you will never touch poison for the rest of your life, and your constitution will not be activated!"
"What if your constitution is activated? In the long history of Dou Qi Continent, there will always be some amazing people who will find a way to solve it, right?"
"Someone has solved it before!" Yao Lao said after a moment of silence.
Xiao Bai nodded and did not continue to ask. These are enough. There will be a reason to ask Yao Lao for them in the future.
At this moment, a little head appeared next to him, looking at the scroll of the "Seven Color Poison Sutra" in his hand.
Seeing Xiao Bai looking at her, Xiao Yi Xian quickly retracted her head, straightened her chest, and gestured to Xiao Bai to show the jade box in her arms, and said in a delicate voice:
"Here, I dug out all the herbs and packed them. They are all here!"
Looking at her holding more than ten jade boxes in her arms, they were almost up to her chin, which looked very cute.
However, Xiao Bai was a little speechless. This girl seemed to like these herbs very much. She could have put them over there, but she put them all in her arms and hugged them over.
After showing the jade box to him, Xiao Yi Xian stared at the scroll in Xiao Bai's hand, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Do you have any use for that scroll? If not, can you give it to me?" She glanced at Xiao Bai cautiously, rubbing her little toes back and forth on the ground, lowering her head and whispering.
Then, afraid that Xiao Bai would misunderstand her as greedy, she mustered up her courage, raised her head and shook her little hand at Xiao Bai, and hurriedly said:
"Don't get me wrong! I don't want everything, but because of my natural talent, I can't become an Alchemist, and I can only rely on these things!"
After saying that, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes were a little dim. She was just a weak woman, and her cultivation talent was not good. After so many years of cultivation, she was only at the ninth level of Dou Zhe.
If she could become a distinguished Alchemist, then she wouldn't have to worry about safety issues.
In the past few years in Qingshan Town, it was okay at the beginning. She was young and hadn't grown up yet. Everyone just treated her as a little girl. In addition, she was kind-hearted. Anyone who asked her to treat their injuries would do their best, so she was respected by everyone.
But as she grew up over the past two years, she became more and more attractive. Some people began to look at her in strange ways. Although the prestige of Qingshan Town could temporarily protect her, who knew if someone would take the risk?
So she wanted some means of self-protection, and this was the only way to become a poison master that everyone hated. This made her, who was kind-hearted, a little sad for a while.
Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Yi Xian and nodded.
