Chapter 477: Chapter 0477: Where did the poison go?

Originally thinking that his Cultivation was crippled and falling into the hands of Poison Sect, he expected humiliation and death to be his fate. However, to his surprise, the poison concocted by those folks at the Poison Sect not only restored his Cultivation but also improved it.

"A blessing in disguise, truly a blessing in disguise!"

Tang Ming stood up, stretched languidly with a feeling of refreshment, then instinctively walked to the entrance of the cell, wanting to leave.

When Tang Ming tried to open the cell, he realized that it was made from adamantine steel, and even a Four-star Martial Master would likely find no means of escape.

"This is the Poison Sect’s lair, after all. That Xin Badao and Chu Batian are top experts for sure, with Cultivation that probably reaches the Four or Five-star level."

Upon realizing that he couldn’t escape, Tang Ming began to think calmly.

Being in the den of the Poison Sect, there were surely countless experts outside. Even if he could break out of the cell, it was unlikely that he’d leave alive.

Besides, the Cultivation Technique he practiced urgently required the aid of Poisons. Now being in the Poison Sect, which was quite a big poison den, as long as he used it properly, he could continuously enjoy the intense poison of the Poison Sect without spending a dime, which was a stroke of great fortune for him!

"I previously struggled to get my hands on some Poisons, but now that I’m in the Poison Sect, I can freely feast on so many of them. Why the hell would I want to leave?"

Tang Ming sat back down on the ground, his face alight with excitement, thinking that as long as the Poison Sect could keep supplying him with Poison, his Cultivation would be able to rise without end. If he somehow managed to consume all the Poison at the Poison Sect, perhaps he could break through to a level beyond Martial Master!

Thinking this, Tang Ming wasn’t in a rush to flee anymore. After all, his Cultivation had been restored, and to him, all of the Poison Sect’s poison was nothing but a nourishing tonic, and aside from using poisoning, the Poison Sect wouldn’t resort to other methods to deal with him!

This meant that as long as he stayed with the Poison Sect, he could consume Poison every day and constantly improve his Cultivation. How could he refuse such a favorable situation!

Having thought things through, Tang Ming immediately picked up the rope from the ground, tied himself up, and then lay on the ground, exaggeratingly shouting:

"It hurts, I can’t take it, it feels so awful..."

Early the next morning, Xin Badao, together with Yan Dujiu, and Chu Batian, along with Long Duba and Mei Dufeng, came to the cell once again.

Xin Badao believed that after a night of torment, Tang Ming’s attitude should have changed significantly.

Long Duba and Mei Dufeng had cold smirks on their faces as if they had already seen Tang Ming disfigured by the various Poisons.

"This is too much, simply outrageous! At this rate, someone is going to die!"

As the group entered the cell, they heard the guard shouting angrily.

Hearing this, Xin Badao and the others exchanged knowing smiles, thinking Tang Ming must have really suffered a lot!

"Ahem, what’s going on? Why all the shouting so early in the morning?"

Xin Badao looked impassively at the guard.

"Greetings, Sect Master and Great Elder." The guard quickly bowed respectfully, then gritted his teeth and said:

"The prisoner who was brought in yesterday has an insatiable appetite. He almost cleaned out the entire pantry in the cell. This is just too much!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Xin Badao and the others were stunned. After enduring a whole night’s torment, Tang Ming was still in the mood to eat?

"Sect Master, you had ordered before not to neglect that prisoner—aside from not letting him leave—to accommodate his requests as much as possible, so we didn’t dare to refuse his desire to eat. But he eats way too much!"

The guard complained with a sullen expression.

"What in the world is going on?" Xin Badao turned to Yan Dujiu in confusion:

"Does ’Bone-corroding Muscle-severing Powder’ also induce a ravenous appetite?"

"Not at all."

Yan Dujiu shook his head bewildered, completely clueless about what had happened.

Immediately, the group hurried to the cell where Tang Ming was held, only to be completely dumbfounded!

Tang Ming sat in the middle of the prison cell, hugging a large wooden bucket as he ate rice, surrounded by a variety of empty utensils.

"What’s going on?"

A group of people stared at Tang Ming eating with stunned expressions.

"You’re here?" Tang Ming, with his mouth full of rice, greeted the people outside enthusiastically, yet dissatisfiedly said,

"The treatment in your cell is too poor, there’s plenty of rice, but not enough dishes!"

Hearing this, the corner of the guard’s mouth twitched; their food had always been decent, it was just that Tang Ming had a huge appetite.

"Yan Dujiu, what’s happening here?"

Xin Badao immediately glared at Yan Dujiu with anger.

"No, this shouldn’t be happening, it’s absolutely impossible." Yan Dujiu pushed up his glasses and shouted,

"Open the door, I need to examine his body."

The cell door opened, and a group of people surged in, surrounding Tang Ming.

Yan Dujiu even placed his hand on Tang Ming’s pulse, murmuring with tightly knitted eyebrows, "How can this be, this is impossible?"

"What exactly is going on?"

Xin Badao and Chu Batian demanded impatiently.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, Great Elder, the poison in this youngster’s body is gone!" Yan Dujiu replied as if he had seen a ghost.

"Gone? What do you mean?"

The crowd shouted in unison.

Chu Batian, Long Duba, and Mei Dufeng had all personally fed Tang Ming the poison. Without an antidote, how could it be gone?

"Gone means it’s not there, it’s resolved; he’s not poisoned anymore." Yan Dujiu said, frowning and puzzled,

"The bone-corroding, tendon-splitting powder I developed only has an antidote with me; it can’t just disappear for no reason!"

"Could it be there’s a problem with your research?"

Xin Badao questioned with furrowed brows.

This time, Chu Batian, Long Duba, and Mei Dufeng didn’t speak out to pick faults with Yan Dujiu, because even if there was a problem with the bone-corroding, tendon-splitting powder, the mature deadly poisons they gave to Tang Ming couldn’t just mysteriously disappear!

"It’s impossible; the poison I researched can’t have problems, and besides, everyone saw his reaction to the poison onset yesterday, and that definitely wasn’t faked!"

Yan Dujiu asserted with conviction.

"Could this kid have sneaked a Detoxification Pill after we left?" Chu Batian, wearing a suspicious expression, scrutinized Tang Ming and shouted,

"Who untied his ropes?"

"Great Elder, it was I who helped him untie this morning." The food-delivering guard said weakly,

"He said he needed to use the toilet and eat this morning, so we had to help him untie the ropes, but I can guarantee that he was already fine before that, definitely not because he took a Detoxification Pill then."

"Then this is damn strange, where did the problem arise?"

Xin Badao looked over Tang Ming with a puzzled face.

"Tang Ming, why is the poison gone from your body?"

Yan Dujiu, as a researcher, asked Tang Ming with a serious expression.
