Insect-Coagulating Pill
The White-Robed Pill Saint's hair stood on end, and he looked at Qin Ming in shock. How did he know that he was refining a seventh-grade detoxification pill, a heart-clearing pill?
He had found this Medicinal Pill in the records of the Pill Alliance; it was an ancient detoxification pill rumored to be capable of neutralizing all Poisons below the seventh grade.
This Medicinal Pill could even suppress eighth-grade Poison.
Qin Ming saw the confusion in the White-Robed Pill Saint's eyes and said, "Forget it, I'll tell you the truth. What I refined is a seventh-grade Insect-Condensing Pill."
"A seventh-grade Insect-Condensing Pill?" The Old Man in White Robes concentrated and searched his memory, but he had truly never heard of such a Medicinal Pill.
"The Insect-Condensing Pill is not an ordinary poison pill. Its toxicity is not intense. For a quarter of an hour, it won't take effect; instead, it will reproduce," Qin Ming continued to explain.
"Reproduce?" The Old Man in White Robes laughed. "How could a Medicinal Pill reproduce? Do you think it's actually an insect?"
Refining a Medicinal Pill requires the use of Pill Fire; ordinary insects could never survive that.
Furthermore, he was a Martial Emperor Expert; a tiny insect would be completely ineffective against him.
It would be laughable for a powerful Martial Emperor to be killed by a tiny insect.
Qin Ming smiled and nodded in agreement. "Correct, this is indeed a Medicinal Pill, not an insect. I am referring to the characteristics of this Medicinal Pill; it is like an insect in that it can self-reproduce."
It's not that this poison pill lacks an antidote, but rather that ordinary antidotes are ineffective against it.
Ordinary antidotes can only locate the Poison to eliminate or neutralize it. But this Poison self-reproduces, and ordinary detoxification pills simply cannot keep up with its rate of reproduction. How could it be neutralized?"
"A poison pill like that? You're ridiculous." The White-Robed Pill Saint looked at Qin Ming as if he were an idiot. "From ancient times to the present, there has never been a self-reproducing poison pill. You're quite the storyteller."
"Just because it didn't exist in ancient times doesn't mean it doesn't exist now." Qin Ming shook his head and sighed inwardly. Although this Pill Saint had indeed reached the level of a Pill Saint in Alchemy, his knowledge was severely lacking.
While this type of poison pill wasn't very common on the Yuan Continent, it wasn't exactly rare either. At the very least, several Major Powers had Alchemists capable of refining it.
Perhaps this is the gap between the Qian Continent and the Yuan Continent!
"Do you feel a little itch in your lower abdomen right now?" Qin Ming asked, pointing at the stomach of the Old Man in White Robes.
The Old Man in White Robes felt nothing unusual in his lower abdomen and was just about to ridicule Qin Ming when, suddenly, an itch emerged there. It appeared so suddenly, and inexplicably.
But when he considered what Qin Ming had just said, the Old Man in White Robes' expression tightened, and he felt a sense of unease.
"It will get itchier soon. That's because the Poison from the Medicinal Pill has already spread. Soon, you will feel your heart itch, then your limbs, and finally your head," Qin Ming said, pointing to the White-Robed Pill Saint's heart, limbs, and head one by one.
Watching Qin Ming's finger, the White-Robed Pill Saint felt a chill run through him. He couldn't feel anything different in his body at all, yet this itch told him otherwise.
It wasn't that there was nothing wrong with his body, but rather that he simply couldn't perceive it.
"So what if I'm poisoned? Aren't you also poisoned? The Divine Soul Annihilation Pill is a poison pill that targets the Divine Soul; any Martial Emperor who is struck by it will surely die. After a quarter of an hour, even if you are a Martial Venerable, there will be no cure, and you will drop dead on the spot." The White-Robed Pill Saint, having seen his fair share of major events, calmed down, pointed at Qin Ming, and sneered.
Qin Ming shook his head and said nothing more.
