章節 59: Chapter 59: The Method to Trade Poison Pills
"What kind of Calamity Poison Body is this, so terrifying?!"
At this moment, he was leaning against a tree trunk, his feet sinking into the earth, his entire being like he was in the midst of a raging storm, oppressed by the momentum of the two. He shouted loudly, "Seniors, Mr. Wei, could you hear me out first?"
The two directed their gazes at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan smiled wryly, "Both of you, perhaps you should calm down first. Do you really intend to fight here?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Lao stroked his beard and snorted, "It's this Wei brat who wants to make a move on me first."
Xiao Yan turned his gaze to Wei Yang.
Wei Yang smiled, took the initiative to withdraw his momentum, cupping his hands, "Apologies, senior, it was my fault."
Yao Lao snorted softly, quickly retracting his own momentum, feeling a pang of heartache. Releasing this momentum was not a small drain on him!
The oppressive aura dissipated.
Xiao Yan let out a long breath, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and his entire body felt as if he had just been pulled out of water.
"Wei brat, if you're asking for guidance, you should have the right attitude. Is this how you ask questions?" Yao Lao's eyes were somewhat unfriendly as he gazed at Wei Yang. Young people nowadays don't know how to respect their elders!
Wei Yang slightly bowed, cupping his hands, "Sorry, I got carried away just now because the senior mentioned killing my most important relative and wanted me to go with you, so..."
Xiao Yan also looked at Yao Lao with a peculiar expression. Anyone in this situation would be angry.
"Ahem." Yao Lao lightly coughed, stroking his white beard in silence.
Wei Yang continued, "By chance, during an exploration in some ancient ruins, I was fortunate enough to discover a book called the Seven-Colored Poison Manual. The manual records information about the Calamity Poison Body... Moreover, it describes a method of Poison Pill that is said to perfectly control the Calamity Poison Body."
This statement was half-true; the Seven-Colored Poison Manual did not actually record the method of the Poison Pill.
"Oh?" Yao Lao's hand paused, casting a surprised glance at Wei Yang, "You sure are lucky."
Wei Yang smiled and shrugged, "It's just a pity that the method of the Poison Pill was only briefly mentioned without any specific details."
"With the senior's knowledge, have you ever heard of this poison pill method? Or do you know where it might be?"
Yao Lao's eyes rolled, and then his face seemed a bit proud, "You're lucky to ask me. Coincidentally, not only have I heard of this Poison Pill method, but I also have its detailed method in my hands."
Wei Yang's eyes lit up instantly, repeatedly saying, "Really? The senior has this Poison Pill method?"
Yao Lao merely smiled, stroking his beard without a word.
Seeing this, Wei Yang flipped his hand, and a jade bottle appeared in his palm. He smiled, "Senior, you seem to be in a poor state. This bottle contains a fourth-grade Soul Nourishing Liquid, which is quite effective for restoring the soul. Moreover, it has a certain effect on enhancing the soul if taken for the first time... Of course, this effect is something the senior naturally overlooks."
"Oh?" Yao Lao looked with some surprise at the jade bottle in Wei Yang's hand, a hint of eagerness flashing in his eyes, "Fourth-grade Soul Nourishing Liquid?"
"Yes, this Soul Nourishing Liquid is something I developed myself."
Wei Yang was quite proud, "Using three rare fourth-grade Soul Nourishing Lotuses as the main ingredient, supplemented by a third-order water attribute monster core, and fourth-grade Clear Spirit Grass..."
He explained the pill formula in detail, along with some refining techniques, timing, and ingredient ratios.
Hearing this, Yao Lao was quite surprised, nodding frequently and praising, "Not bad, not bad. This pill formula, although still somewhat rough and unable to fully utilize all the medicinal effects has reached a remarkable level for someone so young like you!"
Then, he casually commented, "The timing should be adjusted like this... and the ingredient ratio should be done like this... This way, the medicinal properties of these ingredients can be fully brought out, increasing the potency by at least thirty percent."
Wei Yang listened intently, nodding repeatedly, occasionally presenting some questions, which Yao Lao answered one by one.
Looking at the well-behaved student-like Wei Yang, Yao Lao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Not only did he have great talent, but he also had a good sense of understanding and a certain spiritual quality. Undoubtedly, he was an excellent candidate for a high-level alchemist!
Unfortunately, it's a pity!
If only he had encountered him a few years earlier, perhaps...
Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan, who was listening in a daze beside him, feeling not so optimistic anymore.
But soon, he shook his head and cast aside this hesitation. With his life experience, he knew well that the key to accomplishing things is not to be indecisive and to switch randomly.
At least Xiao Yan, whom he had watched grow up from a young age, with thorough understanding and tested character, was his choice.
Never mind.
Just guiding a bit as a gesture of goodwill.
Yao Lao thought this way.
Looking at Wei Yang, he truly felt a sense of fondness from the bottom of his heart.
In Wei Yang, he saw a glimpse of Han Feng.
No, Wei Yang had even better talent than Han Feng, more understanding, and more spiritual quality.
But thinking of Han Feng, Yao Lao's mood sank again.
A traitorous disciple!
...
"Senior, could I borrow the Poison Pill method to have a look? I will return it immediately after viewing its contents."
With a slight raise of his hand, the bottle of Soul Nourishing Liquid slowly floated towards Yao Lao, eventually suspending in front of him.
Yao Lao reached out a transparent, illusionary hand to take the jade bottle, gently opened the lid.
Instantly, a peculiar medicinal fragrance permeated the surrounding space, invigorating those who smelled it and bringing a feeling of comfort to the soul.
Xiao Yan also watched eagerly at the small jade bottle in Yao Lao's hand; this was a fourth-grade elixir!
The longing from his soul told him that taking this liquid would bring great benefits.
Wei Yang glanced at him and said blandly, "What are you thinking? That's fourth-grade liquid. Even if it's for soul recovery, the potency contained within it would explode your dantian and all your meridians if you dared to take it."
Embarrassed, Xiao Yan touched his nose.
After carefully examining the liquid in the bottle, Yao Lao smiled contentedly, closed the lid, and looked at Wei Yang with a teasing expression, "This isn't all, is it?"
Wei Yang shrugged helplessly and flipped his hand to take out another jade bottle, tossing it to Yao Lao, "That's all there is. Two bottles amount to sixty percent of the liquid; the remaining forty percent has already been consumed."
Only then did Yao Lao nod in satisfaction, flipped his hand to store away the two jade bottles, and then again brought out an ancient scroll.
"For two portions of fourth-grade Soul Nourishing Liquid, borrowing the Poison Pill method for a look isn't unacceptable."
With that, Yao Lao tossed the scroll to Wei Yang, "This soul nourishing liquid is very important to me right now. So I won't make things difficult for you, just borrowing it for a look."
Wei Yang smiled as he took the scroll, "Thank you, senior."
He quickly unrolled the scroll, carefully examining it.
For Yao Lao in his current state, these two portions of Soul Nourishing Liquid served as a kind of life-saving medicine.
They could significantly nourish and restore his extremely weakened soul.
After all, he was now like a rootless water lily or water without a source. His soul power would diminish with each use, unable to be replenished.
A careless slip could lead him back into a state of slumber, which was a great insecurity.
So, merely lending out the largely useless Poison Pill method for a look in exchange for two bottles of Soul Nourishing Liquid was a massive gain.
It was akin to getting something for nothing, after all, without any loss.
As for blackmailing in hopes of acquiring the Green Lotus Core Flame?
No need to consider it, as it was impossible, unless Wei Yang lost his mind.
Thus, Yao Lao straightforwardly produced what he had, taking advantage while he could.
It could be seen as forming a good relationship, which might prove useful in the future.
