Chapter 505: Chapter 0505: The Leisurely Tang Ming

"Ladies and gentlemen," Zhou Jian cleared his throat and explained:

"Only Tang Ming can manufacture the original Detoxification Liquid, so our chances of replicating it are slim. However, the brand of the Detoxification Liquid is already well-established. If we can develop a product with the same effects in a short period of time, we can market it as the Detoxification Liquid. What do you all think?"

"Exactly! We don’t need to stick only to the Detoxification Liquid produced by Tang Ming. If we can create something with the same effects, we can just sell it as Detoxification Liquid."

Sun Zhuangjia slammed the table excitedly, "My Sun Family excels in poison production. Developing something similar to Detoxification Liquid shouldn’t be difficult, right? Sun Kai, what do you think?"

"I could try it," Sun Kai responded, looking troubled. The effects of the Detoxification Liquid were so potent that he wasn’t confident he could replicate them.

"If that’s the case, then it’s settled," Qin Aotian nodded and said firmly:

"All three of our families will increase our investments and strive to develop a new type of Detoxification Liquid in the shortest possible time."

"Agreed!" Jack and Sun Zhuangjia had no objections.

"Cough, additionally, there’s something else," Zhou Jian raised his hand and added:

"While researching a new replacement product, we mustn’t give up on analyzing and deconstructing Tang Ming’s Detoxification Liquid. If we can crack the original liquid, that would also benefit us greatly."

"Investing in both directions?"

Sun Zhuangjia frowned slightly. Developing a new product and breaking down Tang Ming’s Detoxification Liquid both required significant resources. If they were to focus on both, they would need to increase their investment yet again.

"Makes sense," Jack nodded and frowned, "Start both projects simultaneously. Whichever one gets completed first, we can launch it in the market and make money. Let’s do it this way."

Qin Aotian nodded repeatedly, having tasted success with New Minghuang Group’s explosive sales recently, they were all ready to go all in for even greater profit.

Watching Qin Aotian and the others unanimously decide to increase their investments, Zhou Jian’s lips curled into a smile.

When he dumped the original liquid of Detoxification Liquid back then, he had anticipated this day coming, and the previous explosive sales of the Detoxification Liquid stock was the bait to lure these people into investing more.

Otherwise, if he had let these people invest heavily from the beginning, it would have made them wary. Now, after half a month of frantic sales, these people could see a promising future and couldn’t bear to give up such substantial benefits.

After discussing it further, Qin Aotian, Jack, and Sun Zhuangjia all agreed to increase their investment levels, then went on to buy equipment and recruit scientific research personnel. They pursued the development of a new product while continuously experimenting to decode the components of Tang Ming’s Detoxification Liquid.

Inside the laboratory of the Poison Sect Yunhai Institute, Tang Ming sat in a room surrounded by bulletproof glass, picking his teeth with a fingernail, and grumpily called out:

"Yan Dujiu, how is your poison research going? I’m hungry again."

These days, Tang Ming was living quite comfortably. Poisons that were once hard to come by in Songlan City were now his daily meals.

Yan Dujiu, this poison fanatic, concocted poisons in diverse ways every day, trying to torment Tang Ming. Although Tang Ming sometimes suffered terribly, he always managed to survive, then developed new antibodies. This situation was almost driving Yan Dujiu mad.

In the beginning, Yan Dujiu was careful about the dosage of the poison, always using types that inflicted pain but would not lead to death.

However, as the experiments progressively continued, Yan Dujiu, completely infuriated by Tang Ming’s condition, began to take risks and used lethal poisons on Tang Ming.

The first time he administered a deadly poison to Tang Ming, it was the highly toxic "Carapace Red," a poison once used by the Imperial Family to execute concubines, capable of killing a person within minutes.

After Tang Ming swallowed the Carapace Red, his lips turned black, his eyes bulged, and he foamed at the mouth. At that moment, Yan Dujiu regretted it, thinking he had impulsively killed Tang Ming.

But not long after, Tang Ming recovered and bragged about being immune to all poisons, which infuriated Yan Dujiu to the point where he no longer showed any restraint and recklessly bombarded Tang Ming with various deadly toxins.

Within half a month, Tang Ming had consumed nearly all the poisons in the Poison Sect, growing stronger with each intake, until he could even eat Myriad Poison Pills like candy.

"Boy, don’t get cocky. I will definitely invent a poison that can kill you."

Behind the glass, Yan Dujiu glared at Tang Ming with clenched teeth and shouted.

"Then why don’t you try?" Tang Ming responded with a dismissive sneer.

"Even the most potent Myriad Poison Pills from your Poison Sect are useless against me now. What better poison could you possibly have?"

"Hmph, of course I have one. If this doesn’t kill you, I’m not Yan Dujiu." Yan Dujiu said coldly, holding up a bottle filled with colorful liquid:

"This is a mixed poison that I’ve created by combining all the deadliest toxins of the Poison Sect. It’s ten times more potent than the Myriad Poison Pill, able to kill a person just by smell. If you’re not afraid of dying, go ahead and drink it."

"Ten times more toxic than the Myriad Poison Pill."

Tang Ming’s eyes lit up. After continuously consuming poison for half a month, his cultivation had risen to the peak of Four-star. If this so-called mixed poison was as deadly as Yan Dujiu claimed, then he would be able to break through to Five-star today.

"Exactly! And because this poison is exceedingly potent, I also dared not let you consume it carelessly. That’s why I specifically asked the Sect Master to come and bear witness."

Yan Dujiu watched Tang Ming with a cold smirk, "Once the Sect Master arrives, if you still refuse to disclose the secret of the Detoxification Pill, then you can wait for death by poisoning!"

"Now that I’m immune to all poisons, should I be afraid of your threat?" Tang Ming retorted indifferently:

"I’d advise you to give up. I doubt your poison will have any effect on me either."

"We shall see." Feeling further insulted by Tang Ming’s disdain, Yan Dujiu’s pride was severely wounded.

Just as Xin Badao received the message from Yan Dujiu and was heading to Yunhai Institute, Chu Batian also received the information right away.

"Great Elder, our intelligence personnel report that Xin Badao is currently rushing to Yunhai Institute. It seems Yan Dujiu urgently called him over—perhaps Tang Ming couldn’t withstand the pain and has confessed."

In a secret room, Long Duba expressed his anxiety to Chu Batian:

"Hmph, more than half a month has passed, and this day has finally come," Chu Batian snorted coldly, slowly rising to his feet while straightening his clothes, he coldly declared:

"Notify everyone to get ready. We absolutely cannot allow Xin Badao to obtain the Detoxification Pill, otherwise, we will be completely suppressed by him."
