Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Old Times (1)

To refine every tael of Qing Frost, the flesh of two living humans is needed as the alchemical primer. Its method of refinement is incomparably sinister and cruelly blood-stained. The Qing Frost concocted through such means is second in its toxicity—what matters most is there will never be an antidote!

That is the most terrifying aspect of Qing Frost.

In this world, everything has cause and effect, mutually generating and overcoming each other. Every poison, throughout history, has had an antidote concocted. But Qing Frost, after hundreds of years through the entire Medicine Sect, has never been unraveled!

As for the origin of Qing Frost, it was created by the wife of the first Sect Leader of the Medicine Sect.

This first lady of the Sect Leader was a famed poison master of her time, committing innumerable evils and acting vicious and ruthless before she met the Sect Leader. Qing Frost was something she crafted out of boredom.

Afterward, amidst the blood and storm of the martial world, Qing Frost was sealed as the best poison for ensuring one’s opponent met their demise in combat. The Sect Leader of the Medicine Sect could no longer bear the deaths caused by Qing Frost and took initiative to subdue his wife.

However, what unfolded was unexpected, and together, they turned their tale into one of a perfect match.

At that time, the union of the righteous Medicine Sect’s Sect Leader and the famed poison master met with opposition from everyone in the martial world. But considering the Sect Leader’s profound martial skills and significant influence, coupled with the fact that the poison master had turned over a new leaf while still possessing her vicious methods, the uproar eventually subsided without recourse.

Most importantly, at a major Medicine Sect ceremony, the newly appointed lady of the Sect Leader tore up the original formula for Qing Frost in front of all the heroes, declaring she would never refine the poison again.

This act convinced those present from the martial world; tearing up the formula was minor, the crucial part was the former poison master’s attitude.

However, touched by his wife’s sentiment, the Sect Leader of the Medicine Sect, out of respect for her medical accomplishments, wrote the formula for Qing Frost into the Forbidden Book in the Medicine Sect antiquarian, leaving it as a reference for later generations. This Forbidden Book could only be perused by the Sect Leader and the Elders.

For centuries, the Medicine Sect indeed faced renegades attempting to steal the Qing Frost formula, but they were always stopped in their tracks by the Sect Leader and the Elders.

Until twenty-some years ago, the Medicine Sect suffered a theft from within!

This incident has been a taboo for the Medicine Sect and all ancient martial arts families over the years. Many witnessed the horrific battle from twenty-some years ago. Since then, a generation’s stunning beauty fell, the Medicine Sect was reshuffled, and Ye Chenghong retired to live in a village!

Since then, this matter has become everyone’s taboo, and even An Yiqing did not know.

However, today, Ming Yuan’s poisoning has gradually brought everything back to the surface.

"Master, isn’t Qing Frost a forbidden poison of the Medicine Sect? How did it appear outside?" An Yiqing frowned, always feeling that the Master and several Elders seemed to be hiding something from her.

"Alas, Girl Qing, these matters... I’ll tell you about them later," Ye Chenghong sighed, shaking his head, his unwrinkled face looking somewhat weary, "The poison in your senior brother is not Qing Frost, but it stems from Qing Frost."

Not Qing Frost, but it stems from Qing Frost?

An Yiqing’s eyebrows tightened slightly, and she soon understood the meaning behind Ye Chenghong’s words.

"Master, are you saying that the poison in senior brother is a mutation of Qing Frost? Like the Soul Eater that victims in the Xuandu City murder case were poisoned with?"

Ye Chenghong was silent for a moment, then nodded gravely.

"For centuries, only the successive Sect Leaders and the Elders had access to the Medicine Sect antiquarian, which contains the most confidential information of the entire sect. Girl Qing, you are my only disciple, with an exceptional talent, and you are to inherit my mantle. Therefore, I made an exception to let you peruse it. But no one besides your several uncle Elders and me has seen the part of the Medicine Sect’s Secret Technique that contains the forbidden poisons."
