Chapter 55: Competition of poisons (1/2)
A teenage youth in the Body Refinement realm dare to gamble with his life!
A dignified Awakened Soul realm cultivator!
The Alchemy Guild’s Chairman!
A well renowned person!
Li Changyun couldn’t be so timid under the public’s gaze, so with a gloomy face he said, “I accept your conditions!”
Can this wet behind the ears little boy win against me?
This fellow that didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!
This was simply a joke!
“Since you don’t fear any kind of challenge.”Li Changyun thought of an evil and cruel plan, “Then this old man will have to ask for your advice in the field of refining poisons!”
Poison!
Refining poison?!
Everyone’s face slightly paled.
Zhang Liqing’s face was dignified.
Li Changyun cared a lot about materialistic gains, he especially like be opportunistic, therefore he learned the unorthodox and built up his poison refining skill.In the Central States, his name was well known, if he wanted to kill someone, no one had the luck to escape.
Chu Tian was not afraid and crisply laughed, “If this ignorant man does not fear death, then what do I have to fear!Since you’ve decided on this, I’ll accompany you to the end!”
Complying so easily?
It was simply looking for death!
No wonder!
“Ha, ha, your ignorance and stupidity is truly rare in this world.” Li Changyun gave two gloomy laughs, “We’ll both refine a set of poison and antidote, then we exchange antidotes and ingest each other’s poison.If you aren’t affected by the poison, then you win, if you’re affected by the poison you lose!”
[TL Note - Ya this was confusing in chinese as it is in English, but I think what they’re trying to say is they’ll make poisons for each other then create antidotes for the other person’s poison.]
The onlookers were terrified!
How was this a competition?
It was simply playing with one’s life!
Both sides would refine poisons for the other person, then they would both refine antidotes on the spot and ingest the antidote and poison together, if the poison exhibit effects, they would lose!
Refining poison was easy, but curing it was hard!
What was the danger?If you were a little careless you would lose your life!
This not only tested your Alchemy knowledge, but also tested you wisdom and courage!
The worry in Ye Xiong’s heart vanished.
The poison Li Changyun used, no one could cure.This was an execution, that brat was dead for sure!
Killing Chu Tian in a competition like this, they could avoid directly conflicting with Nangong Yi!
“That’s not good!This isn’t fair!”Meng Qingwu furrowed her black eyebrows and walked out, “Awakened Soul cultivators can refine level 2 medicines, but with his Body Refinement cultivation, Chu Tian can only refine level 1 medicines.This kind of different level competition isn’t fair at all!”
Xiong Tianyan also declared, “This doesn’t conform with the spirit of the Alchemy profession!You can’t compete like this!”
Li Changyun’s words were sharp, “He was the one who said all those arrogant things, who can you blame?Right now there is no path of retreat, either admit your defeat or fight this old man!”
Meng Qingwu was angry, “Surnamed Li, you are also a renowned person, are you not afraid of being mocked for being so shameless?”
Li Changyun disdainfully said, “With this kind of villain, there is no need for morality!”
Xiong Tianyan started insulting, “Good old dog!Who is the real shameless person?It seems to me that you’re the one who’s truly shameless!”
Li Changyun was also angry, “Surnamed Xiong, there is nothing for you to say here!”
“Old Xiong, little miss, I have to trouble you to step back.”Chu Tian was smiling without any irritation, “I remember once saying that this old fool was not even qualified to put on my shoes, this sentence still has not changed!If he wants to compete, then I’ll just compete, am I, Chu Tian, scared to fight?
Rampant!Arrogant!
Since Chu Tian even said it like this.
Meng Qingwu and Xiong Tianyan couldn’t do anything.
Li Changyun was so mad he almost suffered internal injuries, but he suppressed his anger.If this little duckling wanted to be stubborn, let’s see how long he can keep it up for!
Li Changyun coldly listed his materials, “Ghost face spiders, six coloured centipedes, carrion scorpions, scarlet blood toad, twin headed viper, one of each kind!”
As soon as everyone heard.
They’re faces filled with terror.
Five different violent poisonous creatures, any one of them was enough to kill a 9th layer Body Refinement cultivator!
If the five different violent poisonous materials were refined into a single toxin, perhaps even if it was used on an Awakened Soul cultivator, it would be hard for them to live through it!
Nangong Yi and Zhang Liqing’s complexion changed.
This old fool wanted to refine the Five Poison Water!
Five Poison Water, as the name implies, uses five different violent poisons and mixes them together.So the poison was very complex, not to mention after being refined with a Source Energy Array, it would become even more complex, it was extremely difficult to decipher this poison.
Meng Yingying and Nangong Yun were full of confidence.
But at this time, they were both still extremely worried for Chu Tian.
Meng Qingwu pursed her lips and her body somewhat shivered.
If he did not not succeed…..she simply could not imagine!
This not so tall youth, at this moment was standing bravely, like a tenacious piece of coral resisting the turbulent rough sea waves, “Blood demon fruit, three leaves flower, and lamenting grass….”
The youth was calm, not irritated at all, like handling an unimportant matter.
Meng Qingwu stared at his handsome face, that pair of unconcerned dry eyes had a calming effect on her.Meng Qingwu’s anxious heart was pacified.
The ingredients Li Changyun demanded were all violently poisonous things.
The ingredients Chu Tian requested were just average.
The difference between the two was so big, everyone felt nervous for Chu Tian.
Ye Xiong whispered to Li Changyun, “Master, are you confident?This person does not follow common sense!”
“Relax, this brat truly does have some skills.He wants to refine the blood spirit poison that is the strongest out of all level 1 poisons.”Li Changyun could see through Chu Tian’s plans and he smiled confidently, “If it was any other South Sky City alchemist, it would be a formidable poison, but for this old man, there is no threat.”
Both sets of ingredients were quickly delivered.
Both of them pulled out their tools to begin refining.
Li Changyun prepared six different refining bottles, five to refine each of the toxins on their own and the final one to mix the toxins together and to do the final refining in.
Nangong Yun was amazed, “What is this technique, I’ve never seen anything like this before!”
“Chu Tian is in trouble!”Xiong Tianyan wrinkled his brows, “This is a high level alchemy skill!”
“What’s wrong?”
“By first refining each of the toxins separately he’s completely changing their nature, then they are refined together.The entire process refines the poison twice making it hard to guess the composition.Like this, no one could guess what his Five Poison Water was made of!”
Nangong Yun stared with open eyes, “First refining each of the poison into completed poisons and then using those finished products to refine a new poison, unexpectedly you can do it like this….”
Despite Li Changyun’s morality being questionable.
His skills in alchemy, no one dared to question!
Chu Tian refines a single bottle, refining seriously without any change, just like an ordinary Alchemist refining an ordinary bottle of medicine.
The liquid gradually turned red and from the colour people could tell that it truly was the Blood Spirit Poison.
The Blood Spirit Poison was a violent poison, it clotted all the blood in a person’s body, eventually the heart stops beating.
The fact that Chu Tian could refine this Blood Spirit Poison already attested to his skills in alchemy, but with this level of poison, could he win against a person like Li Changyun?
Everyone sighed!
This brat was dead for sure!
He dared to challenge the Alchemy Guild Chairman with this kind of skill?
Both sides simultaneously finished refining!
