Chapter 19: Test the poison with the body, fight the poison with the poison

Time flashed to the third day, and seeing that the sky was getting dark, Lin Man'er only found three poisons and antidotes. According to the rules of the swallow language, he must find at least seven poisons and antidotes today, otherwise he will have to accept special "gifts".

Lin Man'er looked a little depressed, he didn't understand the poison he encountered when he was in the Meishan Mountain Range, why couldn't he basically see it here? Moreover, in the process of searching for poison, he found that there seemed to be no insects, fish, birds and beasts here, at least he had not encountered them.

After thinking about it, Lin Man'er thought that the green mountains and green waters, blue skies and white clouds in front of her should not be real. In other words, he was caught in the phantom array arranged by the swallow language at the moment, and those more common poisons should have been quietly removed. This would explain the strange things I found.

Then, if you want to complete the task yourself, you can't rely on your previous experience alone. So he had to find a different way. Since this is an illusion, what he sees is what Yanziyu wants him to see. According to this logic, the three poisons he found now could not poison him.

In order to verify, Lin Man'er swallowed the petals of the Heavenly Fairy. Suddenly, the intense pain made his body begin to twitch. However, he endured it and did not take the antidote. Sure enough, as he expected, his Mu Baolu did not work. It's just that the pain caused by taking the fairy still exists.

Lin Man'er continued to endure until after a stick of incense, the pain gradually dissipated. At the same time, his conjecture was initially verified, and he only needed to take two other strains of poison. After about half an hour, he was completely sure of his conjecture. Then, the rest of the matter becomes much simpler.

Lin Man'er began to look for some unknown flowers and plants, and swallowed them to test whether they were poisonous. If he is poisonous, he will inevitably have symptoms of poison. At that point, he will only have to look around for an antidote. If it is not poisonous, keep trying until it is poisonous.

Although the method is stupid, the effect is still there. Finally, when it was approaching the early hours of the morning, Lin Man'er completed the task of seven poisons and antidotes. At the time of handover, Yan Ziyu guessed the method used by Lin Man'er just by glancing at the poison. However, she didn't say it this time, or she didn't say anything during the whole process.

On the fourth day, Lin Man'er needed to find at least eight poisons and antidotes. He continued to use foolish methods until the seventh day. According to the rules of the swallow language, on the seventh day, he needed to find at least eleven poisons and antidotes. However, the situation changed abruptly, and his method completely lost its effect. Until the eighth day, he still had not gathered enough eleven poisons and antidotes.

Lin Man'er lay helplessly on the ground, quietly waiting for Yanziyu's punishment. However, strangely, this time the swallow language did not appear. Lin Man'er didn't understand what was going on, so she had to continue looking for poison. However, this time he no longer swallowed blindly, but chose something that had feelings. In this way, the time came to the tenth day, and Yanziyu appeared.

Lin Man'er looked at her situation at this time and seemed to understand the reason why she didn't show up last time. Therefore, he asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Yan Ziyu pointed to his weak Yuan Shen and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

"I can't figure it out."

"There's something wrong with that. Since you guessed that this was the phantom array I had planted, you should have thought that the pain you endured was simulated by me with soul magic. ”

"How did the former disciple get through?"

Yan Ziyu thought about her temporary change of formation, but admitting mistakes was not her style. Therefore, he reprimanded him, "The previous disciples were not as stupid and brutal as you. ”

Lin Man'er said helplessly: "I can't help it." I've found out all the poisons you know here, and I don't know the rest, so why don't you give it a try? ”

"That's not what you tried, really use poison as rations?"

"Then if I can't complete the task, you still have to kill me?"

"Am I so vicious in your heart?"

"Hmm!" Lin Man'er replied very simply.

Yan Ziyu glared at him, and said angrily: "The gift I prepared for you is to let you swallow the poison and feel the pain and symptoms it brings, but it is far less than the amount you swallowed before. ”

When Lin Man'er heard this, she muttered, "No wonder you don't say anything." ”

"You blame me for your own illness?"

"Then are you going to punish me now?"

Yanziyu slandered in his heart: Punish a fart, you treat pain as enjoyment, but I am the one who suffers. On the surface, he looked like an elder, and coughed lightly: "This level is indeed a bit difficult for you." However, you feel ashamed to let you pass it like this, right? ”

Lin Man'er said with an innocent face: "I don't feel ashamed!" ”

However, Yanzi pretended not to hear it, and said to herself: "I'll explain it to you first, and then you can find it slowly." As for the punishment you have received, you owe it first, and after a while, we will settle it together. ”

After that, Swallow began to explain the classification of poisons. According to her, poisons can be broadly classified into six types according to their toxicity:

First, it is highly corrosive. This poison is more distinctive than other poisons and is easy to identify. For example: snow pattern evergreen, five-leaf five-color plum, poinsettia and so on.

Second, it can be combined with blood to make it poisonous. This kind of Lin Man'er was found on the first day, such as white-spotted red umbrella mushrooms, most snake venom and so on.

Third, it binds to body organs or tissues and damages their normal function. Such as the end of the world acacia beans, broken intestine grass, some strange stone minerals, etc.

Fourth, it is combined with the aura to damage the spiritual vein or the primordial infant. Such as wolf's tail grass, maple frost, broken soul brown spotted mushroom, baby cattle, part of the miasma and so on.

Fifth, it acts on the spirit, and the poisoned person will generally fall into a coma. Such as heartless locoweed, soul-devouring minced flesh roots, most poisonous insects, and so on.

Sixth, mixed poisons. This poison is commonly found on venomous monsters. Such as black widow, black tarantula, multicolored water chestnut snake and so on.

After listening to this, Lin Man'er asked Yanziyu how to identify these five kinds of poisons. Yanziyu didn't tease him because of his own state, and directly told himself about the experience he had summed up. However, she gave a few extra words.

"Poison is complex, and it's hard to generalize. For example, some non-poisonous plants will become highly toxic when mixed with each other. This is not a common occurrence for you, but it is the foundation that a person who practices poison art must master. Even, some practitioners who specialize in poison art also carry poison in their exercises. This kind of person is called heterogeneous cultivation, or poisonous cultivation. ”

After thinking for a while, Lin Man'er asked, "When the formation cultivator arranged the poison array, did he use something that was originally non-toxic, but was poisonous after mixing?" ”

"Not bad! For formation cultivation, the formation is just a means, used to assist other deadly killing methods. ”

"Then the formation you formed with the other seven immortals is to assist them?"

Yan Ziyu rubbed his chin and smiled slightly: "This is a top secret about the life and death of the Drunken Eight Immortals, do you think I can tell you?" ”

"I won't hurt you." Lin Man'er muttered.

"Not necessarily, who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Moreover, if the seven of them have entrusted their lives to me, how can I betray them for an irrelevant person? ”

When Lin Man'er heard this, his face sank, and he said coldly: "Then what if you harm them?" ”

"Joke! As the head of the eight, how can I harm them? ”

"Not necessarily. A friend of mine told me that in the face of interests, even family affection can be abandoned. ”

"The drunken eight immortals live and die together, it's not family affection that is better than family affection."

"That's just not enough chips." Lin Man'er said word by word.

Yan Ziyu looked at him with some surprise, and said with interest: "What chips do you think you should pay if you want to impress me?" ”

"Above the Immortal Monarch is the Star Monarch, and I think one Star Monarch's chips are enough."

"Fart! Does the old lady need to betray them in exchange for the position of Star Monarch? Yan Ziyu suddenly became angry.

Lin Man'er seemed to think of something, and said with a disdainful tone: "You must have signed some kind of divine soul contract with them." ”

Yan Ziyu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "You shouldn't have such intelligence. ”

"Humph! I'm right, right? ”

"That's right! Trust is built on conditions. If you want to gain my trust in the future, you also need to come up with the conditions that make me trust. After a pause, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, this is the end of the matter." Most of your friends are out of the game, and it's time for you to speed up. ”

In the next two months, Lin Man'er searched for poisons and antidotes based on the experience imparted by Yanzi. After about seventy of them, the environment changed. That is, the insects, fish, birds and beasts that originally disappeared have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Among them, Lin Man'er also saw a lot of poisonous insects and poisonous beasts encountered in the Meishan Mountains. Moreover, he finds that the original illusion is gone, and the real world is in front of him.

In other words, if Lin Man'er continued to swallow poison, then he would be poisoned, and it would be the kind of dead man. Fortunately, Lin Man'er relied on his skillful insect catching and beast catching skills, and soon got enough of ninety species, and the remaining ten species were a little troublesome.

Yan Ziyu told him that the last ten poisons needed to be prepared by himself, and the poison had to be fatal to the Demon King or Immortal King. Otherwise, it is invalid.

At the beginning, Lin Man'er mixed some poisonous flowers and plants to create a new poison. However, it is easy to make poison and difficult to detoxify. With his current knowledge of pharmacology, he was unable to formulate an antidote.

Later, after careful observation, Lin Man'er thought of a more cruel but very effective method. That is, poison poisonous insects or poisonous beasts with poisonous flowers and plants first, and then feed the carcasses of poisonous beasts to other poisonous insects or poisonous beasts. At that time, he only needs to summarize the detoxification process of the surviving poisonous beasts, so as to formulate the antidote.

Later, Lin Man'er increased the difficulty, prepared poison and fed it to other poisonous insects or poisonous beasts, and followed all the way to learn professional detoxification skills. In this regard, Yan Ziyu praised without hesitation, and presented her special gift specially prepared for Lin Man'er.
