"Are these… poisons?"
Jin Shi froze as he looked at the list of ingredients Xiao Yi Xian had provided. Over 80% of the listed items were highly toxic substances.
"That's correct," Xiao Yi Xian replied calmly, her expression steady despite Jin Shi's skeptical tone. "The method I devised to treat the fire poison in your bodies is by using poison to combat poison—neutralizing the fire poison through destruction. In fact, there are many more poisonous items I haven't written down. Anything toxic found in the Tianmu Mountain Range can be collected. The greater the quantity of poisonous substances, the more confident I am in removing the fire poison from your bodies."
As Jin Shi scrutinized Xiao Yi Xian's face, his doubts gradually subsided.
"Very well. If that's the case, Miss, please rest here on Tianmu Mountain for a while. I’ll quickly instruct the clan to gather the poisons," Jin Shi said seriously.
"Go ahead and prepare," Xiao Yi Xian replied with a dismissive wave of her hand, her tone serious.
The next moment, Jin Shi and Jin Gu transformed into streaks of light and swiftly departed the area near the volcanic crater, heading down the mountain.
After they left, Nalan Yanran couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Senior Sister Xian, are the poisons you asked them to gather really for treating the fire poison?"
Hearing her question, Xiao Yi Xian laughed. "Of course not! The poisons were just a little extra. Only the listed ingredients are actually useful for them."
Xiao Yi Xian’s reasoning was straightforward. While she was helping them remove the fire poison, if she had asked them to gather poisons for her personal use, they would have agreed without hesitation. But Xiao Yi Xian decided not to make it that easy for them.
"Ah, so that’s what Senior Sister meant!"
Upon hearing her explanation, both Nalan Yanran and Han Yue burst out laughing.
About three hours later, Jin Shi and Jin Gu returned to the mountain summit, having gathered all the ingredients on the list as well as a large quantity of poisonous substances.
"Miss, we’ve collected everything you requested. Additionally, we’ve brought all the poisons our Gold-Devouring Mouse Clan has gathered over the years!" Jin Shi placed several large, bulging sacks in front of Xiao Yi Xian.
"Your efficiency is quite impressive," Xiao Yi Xian remarked, nodding in satisfaction as she looked at the bags of poisons. She then added, "Next, I’ll prepare the potion to remove the fire poison in your bodies. Please step aside for now."
"Huh?"
Hearing Xiao Yi Xian’s request, Jin Gu hesitated, worry flickering in his eyes. He was suddenly concerned that she might leave with everything.
"Let’s go. Don’t disturb Miss while she’s preparing the potion," Jin Shi said firmly, pulling Jin Gu away without any doubts.
Once they were gone, Xiao Yi Xian swiftly collected the poisons and then began working with the listed ingredients. She ignited her flames and carefully started refining the potion.
The ingredients were only for auxiliary medicine, so the process wasn’t too complicated.
Soon, one by one, the herbs were refined into medicinal essences in Xiao Yi Xian’s hands. These essences were then skillfully combined into a red liquid.
"You can come back now!"
Xiao Yi Xian’s voice echoed across the mountain summit, reaching Jin Shi and Jin Gu in the distance.
"Already done?" Jin Gu asked in surprise.
The two had only just reached the edge of the summit and were about to sit down to wait.
"Let’s go. Don’t overthink it," Jin Shi said, placing all his hopes on Xiao Yi Xian. Based on her ability to identify the hidden fire poison injuries in their bodies, she was clearly at least a peak-tier sixth-grade alchemist.
...
"You’re here. Sit down," Xiao Yi Xian said calmly, raising her hand as Jin Shi and Jin Gu returned.
"Understood!"
Hearing her words, the two glanced at each other and promptly sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Drink these!"
As soon as they were seated, Xiao Yi Xian divided the red liquid she had just refined into two portions and pushed them toward Jin Shi and Jin Gu.
"All those poisonous materials, and it only produced this little liquid?"
"And drinking something refined from poisons… are we really going to be okay?"
Even Jin Shi, usually resolute, felt a trace of hesitation at this moment.
"Don’t trust me? Fine, then forget it," Xiao Yi Xian said, shaking her head as she reached to pour the red liquid away.
Taking a gamble!
Seeing the red liquid falling toward the ground as Xiao Yi Xian withdrew her control, Jin Shi made a split-second decision. Opening his mouth, he unleashed a suction force that drew one portion of the liquid into his mouth.
At the same time, the other portion was gently suspended by his energy and sent toward Jin Gu.
"Miss, please proceed with the treatment!" Jin Shi said sincerely, his tone filled with urgency.
Watching this, Jin Gu gritted his teeth and swallowed the red liquid without hesitation.
Soon after, both elders began to feel intense heat coursing through their bodies. The medicinal power seeped in, stirring up the fire poison and exposing its locations within their systems.
At this critical moment, Xiao Yi Xian closed her eyes and extended her soul power.
The time spent at the bottom of the Blood Pool had refined more than just her body; her soul had also been tempered. Now, her soul strength was far more formidable than before.
With the two elders having consumed the specialized liquid, Xiao Yi Xian could clearly detect the distribution of the fire poison within their bodies.
"Open your mouths. This will hurt a little, so be prepared," Xiao Yi Xian said, warning them.
She then unleashed a wisp of purple flame, carefully enveloped by her soul power, and guided it into their bodies.
Although the purple flame itself was highly toxic, it also had the unique property of devouring other toxins. Under Xiao Yi Xian’s precise control, the flame did not release its toxicity but instead sought out the areas within the elders’ bodies tainted by fire poison and began consuming it.
"Sizzle!"
The process was excruciating for Jin Shi and Jin Gu. The fire poison had not only invaded their flesh but had also seeped into their bone marrow, making the extraction process agonizing.
Ten minutes later, both elders were drenched in sweat, their faces pale and their bodies on the verge of collapse. Despite their disheveled state, they could clearly sense that the fire poison, which had deeply embedded itself in their bones, was gradually being removed. The hidden dangers lurking within their bodies were being eliminated step by step.
