Tang Jingyu saw Xu Fengqiu walking over.
"Your Excellency, Wind Emperor, how did the competition go?" Tang Jingyu asked indifferently.
"Anyway, I'm the poisoner," Xu Fengqiu said.
"Mm."
Xu Fengqiu then asked, "There's something I find very strange."
"Oh? What is it?"
Xu Fengqiu then said, "Isn't Tang Fan immune to all poisons? Then, as the person being poisoned, what's the point of his competition in this round?"
"What? Tang Fan is immune to all poisons?" Tang Jingyu was shocked upon hearing this news.
"Doesn't Sect Leader Tang know?" Xu Fengqiu asked with a "doubtful" look.
"To be honest, this Sect Leader really didn't know."
Xu Fengqiu nodded, "No wonder."
"Wind Emperor, is he a body of ten thousand poisons?"
Xu Fengqiu said, "I'm not really sure what it is, but I'm quite certain that he's immune to all poisons."
"So that's how it is..."
Tang Jingyu pondered for a moment.
"Your Excellency, Wind Emperor, are you absolutely sure?"
"Absolutely sure," Xu Fengqiu said.
Tang Jingyu then nodded.
That's what he thought.
How could the poison developed by his Tang Sect, and not just any ordinary poison, be so easily researched by Tang Fan to create an antidote or suppress it?
So it turns out this Tang Fan was pretending.
If it weren't for Xu Fengqiu's "unintentional" question, he would have really been fooled by Tang Fan.
"We really didn't understand this matter. If Tang Fan is immune to all poisons, then he should naturally be made to participate in the competition specifically as the poisoner. This kid is still pretending to be poisoned," Tang Jingyu said with a slight glint in his eyes.
"So that's how it is..." Xu Fengqiu said with "sudden realization."
"Humph! This Sect Leader will naturally not let him continue to pretend like this!" Tang Jingyu said coldly.
Xu Fengqiu said, "Well, Sect Leader Tang, it's up to you to decide."
"Alright, thank you!"
Xu Fengqiu then walked away.
Tang Fan is no longer a member of the Tang Sect.
In fact, Tang Fan is extremely opposed to his Tang Sect.
The Tang Sect would never want Tang Fan to come back, and even if they did, Tang Fan would definitely not come back!
Since that's the case, then destroy him!
Otherwise, this Tang Fan will bring no small amount of trouble to their Tang Sect.
"Everyone..."
Tang Jingyu also told the Tang Sect elders this news.
"This old man knew it wouldn't be that simple. Although our Tang Sect's control over poison isn't the best in the world, not as good as the Myriad Poisons Sect and other sects, it is after all the number one hidden weapon sect in the Nine Provinces, and its knowledge of poison still surpasses most top sects. How could a mere Tang Fan be able to detoxify this poison so easily?"
"This matter must be made public, we can't let Tang Fan succeed."
"Hmph! He took the initiative to arrange this competition, but he's immune to all poisons himself. What are his intentions? It's utterly ridiculous."
"..."
Inside the medicine garden.
The Poison Immortal, Hai Jinping, personally refined an antidote based on the poison's effects.
However, after he took the antidote, it only had some effect for a short ten-odd breaths.
After ten-odd breaths, the poison actually became stronger.
This made Hai Jinping's pupils shrink!
"What a Xu Fengqiu!"
Hai Jinping revealed a fighting spirit.
"Again!"
Then, Hai Jinping researched the antidote again based on some of the effects of this poison.
He really underestimated Xu Fengqiu.
The poison pill that Xu Fengqiu gave him was actually the Nine Nether Chill Poison, but Xu Fengqiu had modified it.
This caused the antidote for the Nine Nether Chill Poison to have no effect whatsoever.
But...
Hai Jinping believed that Xu Fengqiu still underestimated him.
Now that the main body of this poison is known to be the Nine Nether Chill Poison, then no matter how you modify it.
He, Hai Jinping, can still find clues.
Ordinary physicians would really have a hard time finding clues.
But he is the Poison Immortal!
After a while, it was still within the time frame of the first round.
Hai Jinping confidently refined the second antidote.
Then, he took it.
However...
To Hai Jinping's shock, he... actually still hadn't removed the poison?
He couldn't even suppress it?
"What does this mean? Impossible."
Hai Jinping frowned tightly.
He already knew that the essence of this poison was the Nine Nether Chill Poison.
When the poison pill was modified, he also made corresponding modifications to the antidote. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
Even if he couldn't completely detoxify it, he should at least be able to suppress it, right?
But it didn't!
"This old man doesn't believe it!"
Hai Jinping continued to try.
The third time, it still failed.
"Hahaha... Hahaha!"
Hai Jinping sat there and let out a self-deprecating laugh.
"Xu Fengqiu, Xu Fengqiu... This old man really underestimated you, really underestimated you!"
Hai Jinping muttered to himself.
This kind of loss was even more打击 than a normal loss.
Because he already knew what the main body of this poison was.
He thought it would be very simple.
But it was extremely difficult!
*Pfft—*
Hai Jinping spat out a mouthful of black blood and then fell down.
"Your Excellency, Poison Immortal!"
The Tang Sect experts rushed over at lightning speed.
...
Outside.
Those who advanced had basically come out.
Those who couldn't detoxify had already given up, because the poison had already eroded deep into their bodies, and they needed the poisoner to detoxify them.
Tang Fan was very satisfied.
Among the newcomers he brought, three advanced to the next round.
They were all poisoners.
Then, in the next second and third rounds, it would be time for his Weapon Sect to truly show its strength.
At that time, the three newcomers would have reached a relatively high level in the use of hidden weapons.
If they were in the Tang Sect, it might take them more than ten or twenty times longer to reach that level.
This direct comparison would very directly put the Tang Sect down.
At this time, a strong man teleported over with the unconscious Hai Jinping.
"Your Excellency, Poison Immortal, is too deeply poisoned. Who poisoned him?"
Everyone looked at Xu Fengqiu.
The people of the Myriad Poisons Sect, including Sect Leader Wan Yannian, frowned upon seeing this scene.
The poison of their Myriad Poisons Sect was the best in the Nine Provinces.
The Poison Immortal was an object they had always wanted to win over.
But this Poison Immortal, Hai Jinping, looked down on their Myriad Poisons Sect.
The Myriad Poisons Sect only felt it was a pity, but they still especially recognized Hai Jinping's mastery of poison.
Before, they all knew that Xu Fengqiu's poison was unparalleled throughout the ages.
But now this situation was even more direct.
Xu Fengqiu poisoned Hai Jinping, and Hai Jinping couldn't even completely detoxify it, he couldn't even suppress it.
This also shows how strong Xu Fengqiu's use of poison was.
Xu Fengqiu then walked over and gave Hai Jinping an antidote.
After a while, Hai Jinping's body became normal, and he gradually opened his eyes.
"Hoo—"
Hai Jinping breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and cupped his fist at Xu Fengqiu: "Your Excellency, Wind Emperor's poison, this old man admires it. I thought it was just a modification of the Nine Nether Chill Poison. This old man thought that since the main body of this poison was known, it would be easy to detoxify, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even suppress it after several attempts."
He was also unwilling to admit defeat, trying again and again, and then couldn't hold on.
Everyone was shocked.
What?
On the basis of a known poison, the Poison Immortal couldn't even suppress it?
