Chapter 142: Mother of Poisons
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The two people who were obsessed with drugs hit it off. The ceremony was simple. After the ceremony, Liu Shimei had another Master.
Not long after, Zhong Lang also woke up.
“Zhong Lang, do you still recognize me?” Liu Shimei was afraid that he would be poisoned silly.
Zhong Lang opened his misty eyes and recognized the person in front of him after a while. “You are Miss Zhi Liu.”
It was good that he was not poisoned silly. Liu Shimei said, “Looks like your brain hasn’t been corroded. That’s good. Now, can you tell me how you were poisoned by so many kinds of poison?”
With so many types of poison mixed together, the toxicity was mutually reinforcing. Some were neutralized, while others evolved into new poisons. It was impossible to solve any of them alone.
Zhong Lang did not hide anything and told her what had happened after he left the Capital City.
“After leaving the Capital City, I went to the Colored Glass Pavilion.”
He was not a talkative person. Even if he had to talk about something, he would try to pick the simplest words. “Coloured Glass Pavilion was heavily guarded, but 1 still managed to break into their forbidden area and arrived at the warehouse where the poison is stored.”
“I’ve secretly investigated and found out where the poison was stored. However, after entering, 1 discovered that all the poisons were not marked. They were only divided into seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. Outsiders had no idea which bottle contained which poison.”
“I had no choice but to steal all seven colors.”
“In the end, I found a white porcelain bottle and took it.”
“I was worried about wasting my time. After I left the Colored Glass Pavilion, I opened the bottles of poison and took a look.”
“After that, it became like this.”
Liu Shimei said in the simplest of words. At this point, Liu Shimei also understood. She said, “After opening the bottles, you were poisoned by other poisons. Afraid that you wouldn’t be able to return alive, you immediately rushed back to the Capital City, regardless of whether he had stolen the Colored Glass Drunk. In the end, you fainted outside before he even entered the city?”
Her analysis made sense. Zhong Lang nodded.
Liu Shimei looked up at the sky and sighed.”… You’re really lucky!”
What else could she say?
Qi Yang interjected, “There are no less than 100 kinds of poisons in the Colored Glass Pavilion, but you only found seven… Oh no, eight?”
“Where are the bottles you took out?” Liu Shimei was concerned about the main point.
Zhong Lang pointed at the pouch that he carried with him. Qi Yang took it over and took out eight small bottles of different colors from the pouch.
“Master, can you tell me which poison you recognize?” Liu Shimei asked quickly.
Qi Yang first gave himself the antidote pili and then gave Liu Shimei one.
Then, he opened the bottles and checked each one. He got the answer and said, “I understand now. Even if Colored Glass Pavilion has hundreds of poisons, they are all from the same origin. Therefore, these eight poisons were the mother of all other poisons. Adding different poisons to these foundations would produce even more different poisons!”
Liu Shimei thought it was the same principle and asked, “So, we still don’t know how the Colored Glass Drunk came about. It was possible that the poison added was not within these eight types!”
Qi Yang was not discouraged. He said, “But at least I’ve never seen some of these poison foundations before. Let’s study them properly. Nothing is absolute. Who can say that we can’t figure it out?”
Liu Shimei liked this kind of unwillingness to admit defeat. When faced with a difficult problem, she had to have a strong will. She felt that this Master was worth it!
“Master, you can study these poison foundations first. 1’11 take a look at Zhong Lang.”
The master and disciple worked together. Liu Shimei asked Zhong Lang some more questions, mainly about Colored Glass Pavilion.
Later on, the poison in Zhong Lang’s body acted up.
The master and disciple spent a tremendous amount of effort to finally suppress the poison, and Zhong Lang fell asleep.
However, at this moment, the sky was already completely dark!
“Oh no!”
Only then did Liu Shimei realize that time had passed too quickly. “It’s over.. If Lingyao can’t find me, he’ll definitely be worried to death!”
