Chapter 966: Chapter 966: Piercing the Truth with a Single Statement Chapter 966: Chapter 966: Piercing the Truth with a Single Statement Fang Lin’s complexion had already returned to calm, and his breath was even and natural, which meant that he had indeed recovered to normal.

“It’s good that there is no harm. For this matter, I will ensure that those from the Lineage of Poison Pill Masters give a proper account,” Master Wen nodded and said.

Hearing this, many Masters of Pill present were taken aback. It seemed that Master Wen was not planning to let the Lineage of Poison Pill Masters off the hook so easily.

For a Six Cauldrons Pill Refining Grandmaster to take issue with the Lineage of Poison Pill Masters was definitely significant and could even lead to a major event, causing no small disturbance within the Pill Alliance.

Fang Lin clasped his fist, “Thank you, Master Wen, for upholding justice for this junior.”

To tell the truth, Fang Lin was also secretly alarmed. He hadn’t expected the Poison Pill Master to be so bold as to strike at him during the Master Conference.

Had Master Wen’s keen insight not spotted the process of the poisoning, Fang Lin would likely have been deeply poisoned by now.

Although it was unlikely that they could poison Fang Lin to death with his skills, the inevitable suffering was unavoidable.

“It seems the Poison Pill Masters have come to regard me as a thorn in their side, perhaps due to my actions in Meng Kingdom that made them feel threatened,” Fang Lin mused inwardly, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Towards the Poison Pill Masters, Fang Lin has always harbored deep animosity and has long considered how to eradicate these Poison Pill Masters from the Pill Alliance. Unexpectedly, the Lineage of Poison Pill Masters made the first move to eliminate him.

With this development, Fang Lin also had plans of his own. Since they had struck first, he could not sit idly by; it was time for him to make a move.

Of course, they were currently at the Master Conference. Any action had to wait until after the conference had concluded and he returned to Tiankui Pavilion.

“Don’t let the Poison Pill Masters spoil everyone’s mood, let’s continue,” Master Wen said, returning to his original seat.

The congregation of Masters of Pill also regained their composure, their attention once again falling on the strange youth.

As always, the youth kept his eyes tightly closed, as if he hadn’t sensed anything that had just transpired.

“Could it be that his five senses were sealed as well, therefore he cannot sense anything from the outside world?” a Master of Pill speculated, frowning even deeper.

Master Long approached and revealed a purple Crystal Stone in his hand, which shimmered with a soft glow.

The purple Crystal Stone was gently placed on the youth’s forehead, and everyone watched, including Fang Lin.

At first, the purple Crystal Stone showed no reaction, but after a few breaths, the stone suddenly lit up and then, with a crack, shattered into fragments.

This development astonished Master Long even further. This purple Crystal Stone was a type of miraculous stone capable of absorbing the poison from within a poisoned person’s body.

Master Long had surmised that the person was afflicted by some peculiar poison and intended to use this purple Crystal Stone to draw the poison out, but unexpectedly, not only did it fail to extract the poison, it caused the stone to shatter.

“Indeed, he is poisoned, but the toxicity is fierce and bizarre, not susceptible to absorption by this Crystal Stone,” Master Long muttered to himself.

The crowd looked solemn, not to mention Master Long was struggling to make progress, it was even less likely for them to have anything to say.

Yet, Fang Lin’s expression suddenly flickered slightly, as if he had thought of something, but he made no moves, seemingly still deep in contemplation.

Another Master of Pill stepped forward, took out a silver needle, and wanted to puncture the young man in a few spots.

“Do not use silver needles on the acupuncture points, or you’ll kill this person,” Fang Lin immediately spoke up to stop him.

Master Wen looked deeply at Fang Lin, he was just about to speak when Fang Lin had already said it outright. Could it be that this young man had seen something already?

The Master of Pill holding the silver needle frowned in confusion, “Why can’t I use silver needles on the acupuncture points? I just want to check his physical condition, how could that kill him?”

Fang Lin’s eyebrows knitted slightly, “This person has a powerful accumulation of energy within his body, spread throughout his meridians. If any acupuncture point or meridian is stimulated, it will cause the stagnant energy to rapidly concentrate at the point punctured by the silver needle and explode, and the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Hearing Fang Lin’s words, the Master of Pill holding the silver needle’s face changed, while the rest were skeptical, feeling that what Fang Lin said was too bizarre.

“Ridiculous, even if this person has stagnant energy within his body, as long as we don’t stimulate the more important major acupoints, and only prick a few less critical spots, how could that make the stagnant energy explode? You are just causing panic,” a Master of Pill questioned.

Fang Lin continued, “The accumulation of energy in this person’s body is too powerful, and there is also a kind of toxicity within him, causing both to clash and change. However, it seems the martial arts he cultivated are very unique, turning himself into a prison of sorts, sealing the stagnation and the poison within his body. The two are in conflict but also counterbalance each other, which is why this person has survived until now. Otherwise, either the stagnant energy or the poison he’s afflicted with would have killed him. At this moment, if any acupuncture point is stimulated, it will definitely cause the stagnant energy to erupt, and with the balance of the poison lost, it would take his life in an instant.”

These words enlightened everyone present, followed by visible shock on their faces.

They had always thought that the young man’s body contained such a vast accumulation of energy because of poisoning, but they had not expected that the stagnation had nothing to do with the poisoning; instead, there was a balance between the two. The stagnant energy suppressed the toxicity, and the toxicity also restrained the stagnant energy from growing stronger.

Just as Fang Lin had said, if any acupoint on the young man’s body was stimulated, the stagnant energy might erupt and leak out, giving the toxicity an opportunity to prey on him, causing him to die from poisoning in a matter of moments.

The old man holding the silver needles felt waves of fear in his heart and broke out into a cold sweat on his forehead. He had considered himself highly skilled, yet he had almost caused a disaster.

“It was I who was obtuse, thank you, Master Fang, for the guidance,” the elder bowed with clenched hands to Fang Lin, grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Fang Lin smiled, “It’s no hindrance, take some more time, and all of you could have seen the key to it.”

Although he said that, indeed no one among those present had been able to discern what Fang Lin had pointed out; they all seemed to have fallen into a misconception.

Master Zhong showed a trace of embarrassment; he held himself in high esteem, thinking that at the Grandmaster level, he was already at the pinnacle.

But now it appeared that his knowledge was superficial; he was not truly at the pinnacle.

Of course, those Masters of Pill who had always wanted to target Fang Lin felt uncomfortable in their hearts, with Fang Lin stealing the limelight again.

Master Wen’s face bore a trace of a smile. What Fang Lin said was indeed the state within the young man’s body, without any discrepancy.
