Chapter 187: 187 Extreme Cold Potato
"Great Elder, how is it?"
Elder Su He has great confidence in Lu Zhan. Seeing that the latter has begun his investigation, he believes that Ling Wan’s life should be saved now because the Great Elder is a genuine Spiritual Rank Intermediate Meridian Refining Master.
Su He has immense respect for the Great Elder of the Jade Pot Sect, and he is very familiar with his medical pulse techniques. If even he can’t do anything, they might have to ask the Sect Master to take action.
However, after Su He asked his question, Lu Zhan withdrew his hand, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, then he turned his head and asked someone, "Second Elder, what poison do you think this is?"
Hearing Lu Zhan’s question, a shock ran through Su He’s heart. Could it be that even the Great Elder couldn’t identify the poison? On the Hidden Dragon Continent, is there such a formidable poison?
Thinking this, Su He couldn’t help but glance at Shen Xiao, who administered the poison, with some doubt. One could say Shen Xiao grew up under his watch; didn’t he know exactly what Shen Xiao was capable of?
But at this moment, Su He felt that he might be unable to see through Shen Xiao. This young man hasn’t even broken through to the Mortal Rank Middle Level in meridian refining, so how could he use such a powerful poison that even the Great Elder couldn’t identify?
Let alone Su He privately puzzling over this, Fu Du, when asked, had a trace of an unusual expression flash through his eyes, but he also shook his head and said, "I apologize, Great Elder, my sight fails me, I cannot discern what deadly poison this is."
Upon hearing this, the astonishment in Su He’s eyes deepened. Compared to the Great Elder Lu Zhan who always delved deep into medical pulse techniques, perhaps this Second Elder was the one in the Jade Pot Sect who was most knowledgeable about deadly poisons?
It was shocking that the formidable poison used by Shen Xiao, a mere Early Stage Meridian Rushing Realm genius, baffled even both great elders; truly curious and strange, thus Su He decided not to investigate further.
What Lu Zhan and Su He didn’t see was, as Fu Du spoke these words, a hint of smugness and mockery clearly flickered deep within his eyes.
The two factions of the Jade Pot Sect, the Medical Pulse and Poison Vein, have always been in discord, often covertly competing in the art of meridian refining.
For instance, once Lu Zhan couldn’t identify the poison, it naturally became impossible to resolve this bizarre and fierce poison. In Fu Du’s view, this undoubtedly meant a slight victory for the Poison Vein faction.
Regarding the life and death of a young fatty, Fu Du couldn’t care less. Both publicly and privately, he would not consider offering the antidote to save Ling Wan at this moment; wouldn’t that be like announcing there are three hundred taels of silver here, admitting that he was the one who gave Shen Xiao the poisoned liquid?
Furthermore, Fu Du was extremely confident that if even the Great Elder Lu Zhan couldn’t figure out the poison, no one else could. Let this young fatty Ling Wan just be a scapegoat for Yun Xiao; it’s just his bad luck.
"Great Elder, this is the ’Extreme Cold Yinsu Poison’, please assist me!"
However, just as Lu Zhan and Su He were at a loss and Fu Du was feeling smug, a somewhat familiar and serious voice suddenly came from the side; it was from Yun Xiao.
It turns out, while the great elders were talking, Yun Xiao had been carefully observing Ling Wan’s condition. With his past life’s experience as the Long Xiao Battle God, his insight naturally couldn’t be matched by any of the sect elders from the Hidden Dragon Continent.
After a moment of sensing, Yun Xiao finally discerned the toxicity of "Extreme Cold Yinsu" among hundred millions of deadly substances, confirming the fierce poison that Ling Wan had encountered.
"Extreme Cold Yinsu?"
Yun Xiao’s sudden statement made both the Great Elder Lu Zhan and Elder Su He pause briefly in surprise, then they thought deeply, not noticing the slight change in Fu Du’s expression.
"This kid, he even knows about Extreme Cold Yinsu?"
Fu Du’s sinister gaze swept over Yun Xiao back and forth. Now he became truly more interested in this young man, and it wasn’t just because of Yun Xiao’s Immunity to Hundred Poisons body, but also the array of peculiarities he has shown.
Yun Xiao’s combat strength goes without saying, being able to defeat Feng Hang, who is at the Early Stage of Meridian Rushing Realm, while at the Peak of Meridian Gathering Realm, which is a direct proof.
During the first round, Yun Xiao, in collaboration with the Great Elder, used the enhanced version of the Minor Universe Meridian Array, which not only saved the sure-to-die Song Tian but also helped him achieve a breakthrough, a feat that even Fu Du admires.
Today, at this moment, with just a glance, Yun Xiao recognized the Extreme Cold Yinsu Poison that even the Great Elder Lu Zhan couldn’t identify, sparking an intense interest in Fu Du.
The so-called Extreme Cold Yinsu is extremely rare in the Xuanyue Empire, only growing in the extremely cold and Yin lands of the northern Hidden Dragon Continent, and obtaining its deadly poison is not an easy task.
Extreme Cold Yinsu Potato is indeed highly toxic for every single one, but a single Extreme Cold Yinsu Potato can only affect cultivators at the Meridian Introduction Realm at most, for those above, the effect would be greatly diminished.
As for the three drops of green liquid that Shen Xiao just flicked out of the Jade Bottle, they are the essence refined from thousands of Extreme Cold Yinsu Potatoes by Fu Du’s refining process. Its toxicity is so potent that even cultivators at the Meridian Rushing Realm or Meridian Union Realm would undoubtedly meet their demise.
In fact, for a lad in the late stage of the Meridian Gathering Realm to survive this long after being poisoned by the essence of Extreme Cold Yinsu Potato is already a miracle in Fu Du’s eyes. With Yun Xiao recognizing the details of the poison, he suddenly became curious about Ling Wan.
The reason why Ling Wan has held on for so long is due to his unique Mixed Element Qi Body, particularly the governor and conception vessels that Yun Xiao opened up, making him vastly different from ordinary cultivators in the late stage of Meridian Gathering Realm.
"Great Elder, could you lend me a helping hand?"
Seeing both Great Elders deep in thought at this moment, Yun Xiao had no time for such thoughts as Ling Wan’s condition was truly unsustainable.
Had it been his former self, the Long Xiao Battle God, such a minor Extreme Cold Yinsu Potato poison wouldn’t have bothered Yun Xiao at all, and he could have resolved it with a wave of his hand.
However, Yun Xiao’s current Meridian Qi Cultivation is only at the peak of the Meridian Gathering Realm, and his Meridian Refining Technique hasn’t even reached the Middle Level of Mortal Rank; such poisons like Extreme Cold Yinsu Potato, already falling under the low level of Spiritual Rank, are beyond his current power.
Knowing Lu Zhan as he did, Yun Xiao trusted that this Great Elder of the Jade Pot Sect was definitely of a merciful heart, and it goes without saying that he might need to rely on Lu Zhan’s Medical Pulse Technique once again.
This time, however, the person Yun Xiao needed to save was not the unrelated Song Tian, but Ling Wan, whom he already regarded as a brother in life and death, allowing no room for error.
"Yun Xiao, forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is this Extreme Cold Yinsu Potato Poison? Without knowing its toxicity, I can’t properly prescribe a remedy!"
Hearing Yun Xiao’s urging, Lu Zhan was not angry but stated his concern candidly. As he had mentioned, he had never even heard the name Extreme Cold Yinsu Potato before, much less understand how to cure its poison.
"At this point, Great Elder, you don’t need to know. You just need to follow my method to detoxify Ling Wan!" Yun Xiao was desperate at this moment, unaware that his words had caused everyone to stare at him blankly.
"Yun Xiao, you are presumptuous, what status is the Great Elder, how could you command him?" Shen Xiao, who had long found Yun Xiao displeasing, felt he found an opportunity and immediately reprimanded loudly.
In Shen Xiao’s view, who was Yun Xiao but a nobody to dare command the Great Elder of the Jade Pot Sect? This brash youngster must have forgotten his place.
Even Elder Su He, standing beside them, showed a hint of surprise after hearing Yun Xiao’s words. He had always respected the Great Elder, now what is the meaning of this young man’s commanding tone?
On the contrary, the Great Elder, Lu Zhan himself, did not get angry over Yun Xiao’s tone, because he suddenly recalled the situation a few days earlier during the first round of the Outer Sect competition where he saved that dying young man.
At that time, Song Tian was severely injured by Feng Hang’s attack, and even Lu Zhan’s application of the Minor Universe Meridian Array couldn’t save him. However, under Yun Xiao’s "guidance," Song Tian not only survived but also achieved a breakthrough.
Indeed, in Lu Zhan’s heart, Yun Xiao was giving guidance; he is not like Fu Du, narrow-minded. The saying that learning is limitless and the proficient inspire aspirants applies not only to Meridian Qi Cultivation but also to Meridian Refining Technique.
No matter how much higher Lu Zhan’s Meridian Refining Level was compared to Yun Xiao, at least in the matter of saving Song Tian, he was inferior to Yun Xiao. Therefore, he didn’t take the latter’s slightly impolite words to heart.
Although Lu Zhan didn’t know the toxic attribute of Extreme Cold Yinsu Potato, he was certain that he was completely incapable of curing such poison, so he might as well follow Yun Xiao’s advice, treating a dead horse as if it were a live one.
"Yun Xiao, do you truly have a method?"
Lu Zhan still harbored a trace of doubt in his heart, suspecting that Yun Xiao had a deep friendship with that plump young man and could not bear to watch Ling Wan die, thus attempting a desperate measure. If that was the case, there was no point in him making a move.
"Great Elder, the Shoulder Acupoint!"
This time Yun Xiao didn’t reply to Lu Zhan’s words since there was no more time to delay for Ling Wan, so he directly called out sternly, causing Lu Zhan to jolt and instinctively press his index finger on Ling Wan’s right shoulder.
Previously, when Ling Wan transformed into a ball of flesh, two of the three drops of Extreme Cold Yinsu Potato poison liquid sprayed from Shen Xiao’s Jade Bottle hit him, quite evidently on his right arm.
The Shoulder Acupoint is located in the shoulder area, which is a critical acupoint connecting the arm to the torso. Yun Xiao had Lu Zhan seal this acupoint first to prevent the Extreme Cold Yinsu Potato poison from attacking the brain and the heart, temporarily controlling the timing of the poison’s onset.
"Outer Gate, Inner Acupoint, Quchi, Yangchi, Shenmen, He Gu,..."
