Chapter 832: Chapter 830: Encounter with Snake Heart Poison Again! [Third Update]

He Yunfei looked at Lin Bai with excitement and asked, "Brother Lin, do you know what kind of poison has afflicted my father?"

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Of course, I know, and I’m quite familiar with it!"

Bao Xuanming watched Lin Bai with eyes full of shock and a hint of panic flashed through his gaze.

Lin Bai said, "Snake Heart Poison!"

"Senior Bao Xuanming, am I right?"

Whoosh—

When Lin Bai uttered the words "Snake Heart Poison," Bao Xuanming’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.

Those three words seemed to chill Bao Xuanming to the bone, making him shiver uncontrollably.

He Yunfei pressed on, "Brother Lin, what is Snake Heart Poison?"

Lin Bai replied casually with a smile, "Brother He, perhaps we know little about Snake Heart Poison, but if Grandpa He was not unconscious right now, given his age, he should be very familiar with it."

"Snake Heart Poison was one of the Three Great Miraculous Poisons of the Lingdong Five Poison Sect twenty years ago."

"Snake Heart Poison has three stages."

"In the first stage, a warrior who has just ingested Snake Heart Poison will have their Dantian slowly devoured by the poison, reducing the warrior to a cripple."

"In the second stage, the poison begins to feed on the meridians, the spirit, the heart vessels, and other vital organs of the warrior’s body, leaving the warrior in an unconscious state."

"The third stage is the final stage of Snake Heart Poison. If it reaches this stage, the affected warrior will only have three days left to live!"

"Looking at Grandpa He’s condition, it seems the Snake Heart Poison has reached the third stage."

Lin Bai said calmly with a smile.

Snake Heart Poison was not unfamiliar to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai’s Third Uncle Lin Yue had been poisoned by Snake Heart Poison before but was later saved by a mysterious young man.

Subsequently, Lin Bai, upon stepping onto the path of martial arts, also encountered the other two miraculous poisons of the Five Poison Sect, Five Poisons Soul-Extinguishing Powder and Dissolving Power Reaper Scatter.

Five Poisons Soul-Extinguishing Powder, once ingested, kills immediately, beyond even divine help.

Dissolving Power Reaper Scatter, also known as Qilin Smoke, appears as yellow granules, dissolves on contact with water, and diffuses on contact with fire, tasteless like water, and can be mixed into food to be unknowingly ingested by a warrior, or dispersed in the air to be breathed in.

A warrior who ingests Dissolving Power Reaper Scatter will experience a gradual decline in cultivation state until all cultivation disappears from their body, rendering them powerless to resist the poison, eventually leading to an explosive death.

Qi Shaolong once used Dissolving Power Reaper Scatter on Lin Bai, but Lin Bai was later saved by the War God Old Man.

When Lin Yue was initially poisoned with Snake Heart Poison, he was not expected to live more than twenty more years.

However, because Lin Bai’s father returned from Lingnan and used his powerful cultivation to control the outbreak of the poison, the Snake Heart Poison in Lin Yue’s body was merely sealed at the first stage by Lin Duo.

But to completely eradicate it, an antidote would be necessary.

Upon hearing Lin Bai reveal the nature of Snake Heart Poison, Gu Yueqing exclaimed in shock, "So this is one of the Three Great Miraculous Poisons of Lingdong, the Snake Heart Poison. No wonder it’s so formidable, as unpredictable as ghosts and gods!"

Lin Bai gave a faint smile and, looking at Bao Xuanming, asked, "I am very curious, where did you obtain Snake Heart Poison? According to the records, this strange miraculous poison should have been buried with the annihilation of the Five Poison Sect twenty years ago."

Angrily, He Yunfei shouted at Bao Xuanming, "Bao Xuanming, my father treated you like a real brother, so why did you poison him with such a vicious toxin!"

Bao Xuanming retorted with a ferocious face, "Nonsense, what proof do you have that I was the one who poisoned him?"

Lin Bai smiled and said, "I cannot prove that you were the one who administered the poison, but I know that it was you who refined these elixir pills."

Bao Xuanming glared and demanded, "How can you tell?"

Lin Bai smiled and said, "These Life Extension Divine Pills, though crafted from humble spiritual medicines, the techniques and methods of their refinement are not low at all, with nearly each pill being refined to the utmost potency."

"The most important thing is that this Life Extension Divine Pill comes from the hands of a sixth-grade alchemist, meaning it’s a sixth-grade Elixir Pill."

"Senior Bao Xuanming, isn’t it a coincidence that within the entire Elixir King City, there’s only one sixth-grade alchemist, and that’s you?"

"And Brother He had bought three months’ worth of Life Extension Divine Pills, a total of more than a hundred, each one exceedingly expensive. Could it be that a certain Elixir Room knew that Grandpa He would be poisoned and in need of these Life Extension Divine Pills, therefore specifically concocting them for him?"

"Moreover, as I’ve also mentioned earlier, these elixirs are so precious that each costs a hundred million Spiritual Stones. I estimate that there isn’t any Elixir Room in Elixir King City capable of producing over a hundred Life Extension Divine Pills in one go."

"This means that the Life Extension Divine Pills must have been concocted by someone during this period!"

"And in Elixir King City, who else can produce sixth-grade Elixir Pills?"

Lin Bai stared at Bao Xuanming as he spoke.

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, He Yunfei immediately woke up to the situation.

A single Life Extension Divine Pill costs a hundred million Spiritual Stones.

In Elixir King City, only the He and Zhang families have the means to come up with a hundred million Spiritual Stones in a short period to purchase this elixir. It is impossible for ordinary warriors and alchemists to have that many Spiritual Stones.

That is to say, the elixir appearing in Elixir King City would only have two buyers, one is the Zhang family, and the other is the He family.

And He Yunfei has been buying them for three months without the Life Extension Divine Pills running out of stock!

Could it be that an Elixir Room specially concocted more than a hundred Life Extension Divine Pills? Knowing that the He family needed them, they specifically concocted them?

Obviously, this is impossible!

Therefore, there is only one explanation, a sixth-grade alchemist in Elixir King City concocted the Life Extension Divine Pills!

Then the question arises.

How many sixth-grade alchemists are there in Elixir King City?

There is only one!

And that is Bao Xuanming!

He Yunfei, after carefully considering Lin Bai’s words, suddenly became furious. A power of the Human Elixir Realm Second Layer erupted from him as he glared at Bao Xuanming, "Bao Xuanming, you beast, my father has treated you kindly!"

"Hand over the antidote for the Snake Heart Poison, and my He family will spare your life!"

He Yunfei deployed his aura, ready to directly slay Bao Xuanming!

Seeing his act exposed, Bao Xuanming moved instantly, turning into a Waning Shadow heading straight for the outside of the house, "Humph, He Yunfei, don’t be so proud. Today Lin Bai has exposed me, and you have also cut off your father’s last chance of survival!"

"Without the Life Extension Divine Pills in the future, just watch your father be buried!"

As he spoke, Bao Xuanming turned into a Waning Shadow and left the He household, his voice slowly echoing in the room.

"Someone!"

"Someone!"

He Yunfei shouted in a fit of rage.

In an instant, outside the large estate, over fifty experts at the First Layer of the Human Elixir Realm, and thousands of warriors at the Great Perfection of Half-step Divine Pill Realm, swiftly arrived.

Lin Bai said, "There’s no use in shouting, Bao Xuanming has used a Heaven Level second-grade movement technique, and has already left the He household."

He Yunfei, in a fit of rage, said, "Damn it! Damn it! Once I catch that scum, I’ll make sure he’s skinned and deboned!"

"Brother Lin, since you can see the origin of the Life Extension Divine Pill and the Snake Heart Poison, do you have a way to undo it?"

Lin Bai gave a slight smile, "Of course I have a way to neutralize the Snake Heart Poison, but I have one condition!""

He Yunfei’s spirit rose in agitation, "Brother Lin, speak freely, whatever it is, as long as my He family can satisfy your request, we will definitely not refuse!"
