After another wave of toxin attacks, Wei Junjie's gaze towards Bai Li Hongzhuang had completely changed.
If he had previously doubted whether Bai Li Hongzhuang was just a fledgling who wasn't afraid of tigers, at this moment, he was certain of her identity as a poison master.
Regardless of whether it was a physician or a cultivator, no one could remain unaffected after being exposed to such a variety of toxins like Bai Li Hongzhuang did.
The techniques she displayed and her calm composure left no doubt that she was indeed a poison master, with no other possibility.
However, the more he thought about it, the stronger Wei Junjie's astonishment grew.
Since Bai Li Hongzhuang was also a poison master, why was there such a huge difference between them?
Since childhood, he had followed his master and had no choice but to become a poison master himself after his master took him in.
As a disciple of a poison master, he had no option but to become one as well.
He couldn't even remember how long it had been since he last saw his own face because he couldn't bear to look at it himself.
If possible, he also wished he didn't have this inhuman and ghostly appearance, but from the very beginning, it had been his destiny.
It was well-known that darkened skin was a characteristic of poison masters that couldn't be changed.
However, if they were both poison masters, why did Bai Li Hongzhuang look completely different?
"How did you do it?" Wei Junjie's eyes couldn't hide his astonishment as he couldn't help but ask.
Hearing Wei Junjie's vague words, Bai Li Hongzhuang immediately understood what he was asking.
Back then, her master was just like Wei Junjie, his appearance changed, unable to face others.
However, as her master's poison skills became more proficient, he eventually reached a stage where he reverted to his original appearance. All the toxins in his body disappeared, and his body became immune to all poisons.
By the time she became his disciple, her master had already regained a normal appearance.
As her master's understanding of poison grew deeper, she also avoided following the same path as ordinary poison masters during her studies.
However, Wei Junjie clearly didn't have her luck.
"There are countless cultivation methods in this world. Even if they are both poison masters, it doesn't mean they have to follow the same path," Bai Li Hongzhuang replied calmly, showing no favor toward Wei Junjie and not explaining further.
Just from Wei Junjie's previous actions, she knew that his hands were stained with a lot of blood.
One of the reasons poison masters were detested was because of their ruthlessness.
Many poison masters would find innocent people as test subjects to experiment with their poison techniques, and the fate of these subjects often ended in tragedy, chilling to the bone just to hear about it.
Therefore, although Bai Li Hongzhuang understood poison, she had never revealed her identity as a poison master.
She had never used humans as test subjects, and moreover, she focused more on her medical skills.
"Are you suggesting there's another method?" Wei Junjie's eyes brightened. He had never considered such a possibility.
Bai Li Hongzhuang shrugged her shoulders. "There are many methods in this world; it's just that you haven't found them. But it's highly unlikely you'll find them in this lifetime. Perhaps in your next life."
As Bai Li Hongzhuang's words fell, Wei Junjie's expression instantly turned ugly.
Lowering his head, he realized that during their conversation, Bai Li Hongzhuang's silver needles had already pierced into his body.
