Supreme Demon God

Chapter 111: Poison Against Poison

The so-called "immortals cannot save" was a joke to Mo Xiu.

Before Mo Ruyi and others were also poisoned, weren't they still easily solved by Mo Xiu?

However, his solution to the poison on Mo Ruyi and others' bodies was to use the Myriad Wood Spirit Art to forcibly purify the poison in the four people's bodies with the strength of the True Energy, not a deliberately formulated antidote.

Now, he could also use the Myriad Wood Spirit Art to detoxify Yan Capital and the people in the villages and towns around Yan Capital one by one, but that was too troublesome, and he didn't have that leisure time.

For him, if he really wanted to use this kind of 'native method' to help people detoxify, it was better not to save one at all.

Besides, there were so many people in Yan Capital and surrounding villages and towns. The time from the onset of Celestial Breeze Chant's poison to death did not exceed one day. Even if the poison was detoxified one by one, the time was too late. In the end, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people would die tragically. 

In addition, his Myriad Wood Spirit Art could only detoxify people, then since there were many toxins from Celestial Breeze Chant in the air, those toxins could not be solved by the Myriad Wood Spirit Art.

If he wanted to save everyone and successfully solve the poison, he must find another way.

Mo Xiu was not a master in the use of poisons, but he had a lot of knowledge, and he had no less knowledge of all kinds of poisons than anyone in the Profound Sky Continent. Even the Sect Master of the Thousand Poison Sect couldn't be compared to him. This was not looking down on people but just a piece of truth.

In addition, Mo Xiu himself had deep research on medicine, pharmacology, and alchemy. It shouldn't be difficult to solve the poison of Celestial Breeze Chant. The only problem was time.

He asked again. "What kind of poison is used to make your Celestial Breeze Chant?"

"..."

Poison Widow stayed stunned as if she didn't know how to answer.

Mo Xiu frowned slightly, put his hand on Poison Widow's forehead, and checked the memories of Poison Widow. With that, he had a general understanding.

There were a total of nine 999 kinds of poisons used to make Celestial Breeze Chant, of which 86 kinds were accidentally extracted by Poison Widows and had not yet been clarified of their toxicity.

As for the remaining more than 900 kinds of poisons, some came from all kinds of poisonous birds and beasts, some came from highly poisonous flowers, plants, and trees, and some were even extracted from dead people.

When Mo Xiu participated in the physician assessment held by the Alchemy League, the toxin called Black Dust he encountered was also one of the poisons used in the preparation of Celestial Breeze Chant, but Poison Widow didn't know what it was, she only knew that that thing was very domineering.

The 999 poisons were not directly mixed together but were formulated by a special technique. After being formulated, they became a brand-new poison, which was the Celestial Breeze Chant named by Poison Widow.

After using so many kinds of poison, there were still many poisons that Poison Widow herself did not know very well. No wonder Poison Widow could not formulate Celestial Breeze Chant's antidote. 

Mo Xiu was able to formulate an antidote, but it was very troublesome. Even if it could be formulated, it was estimated that it would not be able to save everyone who fell due to Celestial Breeze Chant.

After thinking about it, he decided not to prepare an antidote, but to use another method to fight poison with poison.

As long as a poison that was more domineering but did not cause obvious harm to the human body was formulated, and the poison of Celestial Breeze Chant was swallowed, then the poison of Celestial Breeze Chant could be solved.

Since it was a more domineering poison, it was somewhat difficult to prevent it from causing obvious harm to the human body, but Mo Xiu just knew a kind of poison that met the conditions Wind Eclipse Mist.

This was a poison that existed in the form of mist, with strong spreading ability, even stronger than that of Celestial Breeze Chant.

Moreover, once this Wind Eclipse Mist spread, it would swallow all kinds of poisons around, leaving those poisons with no room for survival.

People who had been poisoned by Wind Eclipse Mist would increase their food intake, weaken their strength, and their cultivation base would plummet.

More importantly, this Wind Eclipse Mist could only exist in the air for one day, and it would automatically disappear after one day.

It would always exist in the human body, but this poison would not continue to the next generation, so the problem was not very big.

There were a total of 1,200 kinds of poisons for the preparation of Wind Eclipse Mist, but the 1,200 kinds of poisons were all conventional poisons, but the really important thing needed to prepare Wind Eclipse Mist was not poison, but a kind of medicinal material called Glutinous Eclipse Fruit.

Mo Xiu naturally didn't have Glutinous Eclipse Fruit, and even the major drug stores in Yan Capital didn't have Glutinous Eclipse Fruit, but as far as he knew, Alchemy League had Glutinous Eclipse Fruit.

As for the 1,200 poisons needed to prepare the Wind Eclipse Mist, they could be found in Poison Widow, so this aspect was not a problem at all.

...

After a while, Mo Xiu and Poison Widow came outside the Alchemy League's residence.

His Divine Consciousness probed for a while. He saw the people of the Alchemy League seemed to be unable to resist Poison Widow's Celestial Breeze Chant, and the people in the Alchemy League also fell to the ground.

However, the people in the Alchemy League were extraordinary. Although the people inside fell to the ground, there were also people who were not poisoned, but it was not Li Xuanzong, but Mu Hongxiu and several people who stayed beside Mu Hongxiu.

Mo Xiu deduced a little, and soon understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Those people were not poisoned not because they were not afraid of Celestial Breeze Chant, but because Mu Hongxiu discovered that something was wrong right at the time when the Celestial Breeze Chant appeared. Before inhaling Celestial Breeze Chant's poison, she used a treasure to isolate a small part of the space she was in from the surrounding environment.

It could be said that with the exception of Mu Hongxiu, the other people who were not poisoned were lucky enough to follow her, otherwise, they might have already fallen.

Although they did not fall down due to poisoning, Mu Hongxiu and others were obviously not having a good time. They were confined in a small space, and even if they were deliberately isolated, the surrounding Celestial Breeze Chant was constantly eroding the isolated space. It was estimated that it would not take long before it would break through the blockade and enter that space, and those people would still not be spared by then.

Mo Xiu took Poison Widow into the Alchemy League's residence and soon came outside the space where Mu Hongxiu and others were.

"Mo Xiu, you are actually fine!"

Seeing Mo Xiu walking freely, Mu Hongxiu was very surprised.

Soon, she noticed Poison Widow behind Mo Xiu, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Poison Widow, it turned out to be you! I was thinking that Yan Capital is such a secular place, but how can such a domineering poison appear? It turned out to be your doing!"

As she said, his gaze returned to Mo Xiu, and he said a little displeased, "Mo Xiu, Yan Capital has become your Yan Capital, but you also colluded with Poison Widow of Thousand Poison Sect to poison the entire Yan Capital people? What on earth do you want to do?"

"Me colluding with Poison Widow?" Mo Xiu couldn't help being a little speechless.

"Isn't it?" Mu Hongxiu asked rhetorically.

Mo Xiu was too lazy to argue with Mu Hongxiu, but said, "Where is the Glutinous Eclipse Fruit? Give it to me."

Mu Hongxiu was stunned, and said in doubt, "How do you know that our Alchemy League has Glutinous Eclipse Fruit?"

Mo Xiu didn't answer, but looked at Mu Hongxiu, waiting for Mu Hongxiu's reply.

Mu Hongxiu was silent for a moment, and then asked, "What are you going to do with Glutinous Eclipse Fruit?"

"Detoxify," Mo Xiu replied.

"Can gluttony fruit detoxify?" Mu Hongxiu immediately became happy, but she still had some doubts, "In addition to making people overeating, when can this thing be used to detoxify?"

Mo Xiu: "Do you know more about medicinal materials or do I know more about medicinal materials?"

Hearing this, Mu Hongxiu obediently shut up.

She really couldn't imagine how Glutinous Eclipse Fruit could be used to detoxify, but if she wanted to talk about the understanding of medicinal materials, Mo Xiu was not the candidate to talk with her. After all, Mo Xiu knew all the medicinal materials that Alchemy League didn't know much about. Even more so that in the final round of debates in the pharmacist assessment, even her master Luo Hongchen was ashamed.

To say that Mo Xiu didn't know as many medicinal materials as her, she was afraid that she was deceiving herself instead.

After thinking about it, she asked, "Can you really detoxify this thing with Glutinous Eclipse Fruit?"

"Yeah," Mo Xiu nodded lightly.

Mu Hongxiu took out a Glutinous Eclipse Fruit from her storage ring and threw it to Mo Xiu.

After Mo Xiu got the Glutinous Eclipse Fruit, he turned and left without saying a word.

Poison Widow didn't look at Mu Hongxiu from beginning to end, and she also turned and left.

When the two of them disappeared, Mu Hongxiu frowned and couldn't help but muttered, "This guy isn't especially here to deceive me with a Glutinous Eclipse Fruit, right?"

Half a day later, a poison called Wind Eclipse Mist spread around the Yan Capital Imperial Palace and quickly swept in all directions.

Wherever it went, the toxins in the air and in the human body were swallowed. The Celestial Breeze Chant in Yan Capital and many surrounding villages and towns were quickly cleaned up. Even some people who had been poisoned by the poison and had been poisoned into the bone marrow were also cleaned up as they got better immediately.

Whether it was Celestial Breeze Chant or Wind Eclipse Mist, it was a kind of colorless and tasteless poison. People in Yan Capital didn't have a pair of Mystic Demon Eyes like Mo Xiu, so naturally, they couldn't see the scene where Celestial Breeze Chant being swallowed by Wind Eclipse Mist.

However, after the poison of Celestial Breeze Chant was released, everyone stood up one after another, so it was not difficult to notice.

After Mu Hongxiu discovered that everyone had returned to normal, she was somewhat surprised. Although she didn't know how Mo Xiu did it, it was definitely Mo Xiu's doing.

She put away the treasure that created an isolated space, and immediately walked towards a certain hall, and soon saw Li Xuanzong and others.

Li Xuanzong and others were discussing the abnormality of this poisoning incident.

Mu Hongxiu heard the words and said, "It was Poison Widow of the Thousand Poison Sect," with that, she described what had happened before.

"Mo Xiu colluded with Poison Widow of Thousand Poison Sect?" everyone was suddenly surprised.

At this time, the two-person tall bronze mirror in the hall flashed, and a figure appeared, it was the elder Luo Hongchen of the Alchemy League.

"Master," everyone got up and saluted.

Luo Hongchen in the bronze mirror glanced at everyone and saw that everyone was wrong, and asked, "What happened?"

Li Xuanzong and the others looked at each other and recounted what had just happened.

"Mo Xiu colluded with Poison Widow of Thousand Poison Sect?" Luo Hongchen was also very surprised.

There was silence for a while before he spoke, "The sect has already made a decision to control Mo Xiu in our hands before the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect takes the initiative. Now, there are elders rushing to the Yan Kingdom. But since Mo Xiu and Poison Widow of the Thousand Poison Sect are in collusion, it is very likely that he has joined the Thousand Poison Sect. Hence, you keep your eye on him, and don't let him run away."
