Xie Jingshan knew Jiang Yuebai's personality. If she started asking questions, it would never end.
Xie Jingshan mourned for Shi Yuming for a moment in his heart.
Lu Nanzhi and Feng Zhuxin were fighting fiercely, the arena was covered with ice and snow, and black rain was pouring down.
Zhuo Qingfeng and Zhao Benlei were also fighting with swords and sabers in full swing, which amazed the onlookers.
On the contrary, Shen Huaixi's side, like Jiang Yuebai's side, was unusually calm.
Shen Huaixi and Jiang Ling'er sat cross-legged facing each other with a pile of bottles and jars in front of them, and were mixing something.
"What are you doing?" Xie Jingshan bumped into the arm of the person next to him and asked with his chin pointed towards the ring.
The male cultivator next to him glanced at Xie Jingshan and said, "They agreed to compete with each other using poison. They each prepared a poison and asked the other to take it. Whoever detoxifies the other first will win."
On the ring, Shen Huaixi was holding a wine glass filled with a transparent liquid with a faint blood color. He raised the glass towards Jiang Ling'er.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, please."
After saying that, Shen Huaixi wrapped his spiritual sense around the wine glass. When he let go, the glass trembled and some of the liquid inside spilled out, landing on the corner of Shen Huaixi's clothes and the floor of the arena, leaving a faint red watermark.
Jiang Ling'er narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the watermark secretly.
Shen Huaixi casually swept the corner of his clothes twice and said, "I've got it."
The wine glass was pushed in front of Jiang Ling'er by Shen Huaixi's spiritual consciousness. Jiang Ling'er raised her hand to take it, and also put the poison she had prepared in the teacup and pushed it in front of Shen Huaixi.
Both of them looked at the poison, sniffed it, and tasted it. After they had a rough idea of the amount, they raised their glasses to gesture, tilted their heads back, and drank the poison in one gulp.
After taking the venom, Shen Huaixi felt a bone-eating and heart-burning fire suddenly erupting from his abdomen. He quickly used his medical skills to suppress it.
Most medical practitioners have wood spiritual roots, including Shen Huaixi, so their defense against fire poison is the weakest, so Jiang Ling'er chose fire poison.
Shen Huaixi's face began to turn visibly pale, and as he used his internal energy to dissolve the poison, his whole body became like a bun in a steamer, emitting white steam.
"Brother Daoist Jiang's poison is quite powerful!"
Shen Huaixi still had a humble smile on his face. He made hand gestures and green rays of light appeared out of thin air around him. They gathered in his palms with long tails and were then merged into his dantian.
They agreed to rely on their own abilities to detoxify.
Shen Huaixi began to detoxify, but Jiang Ling'er held the wine glass with a confused look on her face.
The poison Shen Huaixi gave her tasted slightly sweet, the same as Yixue San, and... quite delicious. But after drinking it, she didn't feel the toxicity taking effect.
What kind of powerful poison is this? Or is he trying to trick her
Jiang Ling'er carefully checked every part of her body again. Apart from feeling a slight heat in her meridians, she did not feel any poison that could harm her body.
Jiang Ling'er looked up at Shen Huaixi and was about to ask him something when she suddenly discovered that the corner of Shen Huaixi's clothes that had been splashed with the venom had gradually turned black, and the ground of the arena that had been touched by the venom also showed signs of corrosion.
Is it really poisonous?!
Delay the onset
Jiang Ling'er checked her body again, and sure enough, she gradually felt her blood boiling.
In the second round of the trial of the demon invasion, she consumed too much energy and even used secret techniques to save Pei Shengyue. She has not been able to make up for the loss during this period.
In addition, although the opponents she encountered in the previous rounds were not particularly strong, they were still tough enough for a medical practitioner and the losses were not small.
So she was happy to accept Shen Huaixi's suggestion of a poison contest. This would allow her to retain some strength to deal with the subsequent contests, if she could make it to the next round.
But at this moment, Jiang Ling'er suddenly felt a little flustered, because she felt that what she was poisoned with was not a poison. This thing was stimulating her depleted qi and blood, and could be considered some kind of tonic medicine.
It really looks like Yixuesan, that's impossible, right? We agreed to poison it, no, there must be a trick!
Jiang Ling'er's eyes darkened. If her own qi and blood continued to be stimulated like this, she might also burst by her qi and blood. Could this be Shen Huaixi's purpose
Also, the poison can corrode the ground, so is it also corroding her meridians bit by bit? Why can't she feel any signs of corrosion, nor does she feel corroded
Jiang Ling'er gradually became flustered, but Shen Huaixi followed the procedures and detoxified slowly.
After trying several spells, Shen Huaixi gradually found the method and rhythm to eliminate the toxins in his body. His complexion gradually regained its rosy complexion, and the white gas coming out of his body turned into fiery red smoke, indicating that the toxins were leaving the body.
After a moment, Shen Huaixi finished his practice and opened his eyes, the poison had been resolved.
Jiang Ling'er sighed heavily, her face was particularly rosy due to the boiling blood, hot sweat broke out on her forehead, but she looked much more energetic than when she first came on the stage.
She lowered her eyes and said, "I lost."
There was an uproar around the arena. The Jiang family, who claimed to be descendants of Shennong, dared to claim to be second to none in the upper realm in the fields of medicine and poison.
Jiang Ling'er is known as the modern-day little medical genius, how could there be a poison that she cannot cure
For a moment, everyone looked at Shen Huaixi with some caution, and secretly reminded themselves not to provoke him, otherwise if they were poisoned, there would be no way to recover.
"What kind of poison is this?" Jiang Ling'er asked.
Shen Huaixi smiled gently, "Yixue San."
"Is this really the Yixue Powder that replenishes Qi and blood?!"
Jiang Ling'er opened her eyes in surprise, her eyeballs moved slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she suddenly realized something. She stood up from the ground and looked at Shen Huaixi with some anger.
"You tricked me! You deliberately spilled the liquid medicine, and used the corrosion of the ground and the blackening of the corners of my clothes to mislead me into thinking it was poison. In fact, it wasn't poison at all!"
Shen Huaixi stood up slowly, straightening his sleeves while saying, "That's right, I saw that the girl's blood and qi were severely depleted, so I gave her a dose of Yixue Powder. After all, no matter what kind of poison it is, even if it can be cured, it will still hurt the body."
Jiang Ling'er clenched her fists, her little face flushed with anger. She should be very angry, but she couldn't seem to get angry enough, especially when she saw Shen Huaixi, who looked so modest and elegant, her cheeks became even redder.
Jiang Ling'er swung her sleeves and turned sideways, angrily saying, "But we agreed to poison each other, and what you're doing isn't poison at all!"
Shen Huaixi laughed out loud, "I'm poisoning my heart, what do you think, young lady?"
Jiang Ling'er blushed and glanced at Shen Huaixi secretly, her heart was filled with poison... Indeed, she was sure that it was poison, which was why she lost her composure.
After thinking it through, Jiang Ling'er was no longer angry. She took a breath to suppress the blush on her cheeks, and bowed to Shen Huaixi, saying, "I am convinced that I lost to you. I hope you can represent the medical practitioners and enter the top three. Goodbye."
Jiang Ling'er lowered her head and left. Shen Huaixi bowed behind her and said, "Thank you for letting me."
"His strategies are amazing. From the beginning of Qingyun Club to now, he has won many times without bloodshed by relying on strategies."
"I envy his brain!"
"Smart people are really scary. If you offend them, you will be schemed against until nothing is left of you."
Under the awe-filled gazes of the crowd, Shen Huaixi stepped down from the stage and smiled brightly when he saw Xie Jingshan in the crowd.
"Brother Jingshan, why don't you go watch Senior Sister Jiang's competition?"
Xie Jingshan had a look of disgust on his face. He pulled Shen Huaixi over to look behind him and even tugged at his clothes.
"Brother Jingshan, what are you doing?"
"Let me see where your fox tail is hiding. None of the male vixens in Qingqiu are as coquettish as you. I'm getting goosebumps."
"No matter what kind of poison it is, even if there is an antidote, it will still harm the body. Eh~~ How coquettish!"
Xie Jingshan pinched his fingers together and imitated Shen Huaixi's voice in a shrill voice. When he thought of Shen Huaixi's smile to Jiang Ling'er just now, he shuddered suddenly and rubbed his arms exaggeratedly.
"Haha~" Shen Huaixi laughed twice, pulled Xie Jingshan and left, "Stop making trouble, Brother Jingshan, go see how Senior Sister Jiang is doing."
"What does she have to worry about? You should be worried about Shi Yuming!"
