Matchless Pill God

4. You’re Poisoned

Translator: Flying Lines

Silence reigned in the withered mine. Qin Sheng’s voice was like a roll of thunder that made everyone frightened, and made their face change abruptly.

After a short silence, panic spread in the mine like a plague. Everyone suddenly got far away from the beautiful tutor with gorgeous face and fair skin.

Corpse poison is like gangrene in the bones, with extremely high infectivity. Even just one touch of it could make an ordinary warrior’s body decompose, and then slowly turn it into an unconscious, flesh-swallowing rotten corpse with infinite strength.

Xia Bingning was very surprised. Her eyebrows frowned and she said in an annoyed tone, “Hello there, what are you talking about? I’ve never been exposed to a rotten corpse. How can I be contaminated with corpse poison?”

At the same time, she once again stared at Qin Sheng, who looked ordinary but lacked meta-force. The intuition told her that the boy was definitely trying to make a surprising statement to get her attention.

After all, people do all kinds of strange things everyday. By causing a stir, they only meant to attract her.

As she thought of this, Xia Bingning’s eyes became cold, and a look of disgust gradually appeared on her exquisite complexion.

“Your surname is Qin. You are from the Qin family, right?” Zhao Qingcang walked to Qin Sheng suddenly. His speed was extremely fast, which made the air shaking. He looked down with a condescending gaze, and his facial expression was fierce. He said, “Bingning’s meta force is boiling, and her breath is very stable. There is no sign of poisoning.”

“You are trying to disrupt the examination and confuse people. You are disqualified from the examination. Floating Cloud Academy would never accept such students.”

Zhao Qingcang’s gaze was like a sword, and his voice was very domineering like ruling. His overwhelming atmosphere surrounded Qin Sheng.

“Yeah, senior sister’s skin is fair like jade and her spirit is strong. There is clearly no sign of poisoning.”

“Humph, if a man is deeply poisoned by the corpse poison, his eyebrows would be dreary. But senior sister’s face is radiant and has no symptoms of poisoning at all.”

“Full of lies. He is trying to cause panic. He deserves to be disqualified.”

The students who had been caught in panic seemed to have been awakened by the words of senior Zhao Qingcang, and they all got very annoyed.

If it was an ordinary low-level warrior who only opened one meridian, he must be frightened by the momentum released by the master Zhao who had nine meridians opened, crying and asking for his mercy.

However, Qin Sheng had absorbed Pill Emperor Wanjie’s memory, so he also naturally had some part of Pill Emperor’s spirit. How could he be afraid of the momentum of a warrior of meridian-through Realm?

Qin Sheng looked at Zhao Qingcang as if there was nothing, and he didn’t dodge the gaze either. He smiled coldly and said, “Who do you think you are? You’re not the dean, and neither are you a mentor. You’re just a student in the academy. Don’t teach me how to do things.”

The students who participated in the examination were all petrified. Their mouths opened wide enough to fit in an egg, and they all pick their ears to make sure that they heard it correctly.

A low-level warrior who didn’t even enter the outer yard, and only participated in the examination, and whose meta force was incredibly weak, dared to scold the elite students in the inner yard in public. And especially it was Zhao Qingcang, who was outstanding, with nine meridians opened, and only one step away from breaking through the barrier of the next realm.

“Very good!”

Zhao Qingcang laughed with anger. His chest heaved, and the sword on his back buzzed, as if he was going to use it to cut Qin Sheng at any time. However, he held himself back, because he did not have the right to disqualify Qin Sheng indeed.

Xia Bingning was also full of anger. She saw Qin Sheng like a disgusting clown. The meta force inside her body was like a tide, enveloping the entire mine. The temperature dropped all of a sudden, and made the place chilly.

The two strong warriors at meridian-through realm were both provoked at the same time. The mine was like in a storm ocean. But Qin Sheng was very relaxed. He walked around the icy goddess close by, taking a deep breath to smell her fragrance.

“Oh my, how dare this jerk smell senior sister’s fragrance?”

“He’s just looking for death to humiliate senior sister from the inner yard!”

Faced with such a rude move of Qin Sheng, Xia Bingning was so angry that she raised her hands to slap Qin Sheng’s nose.

But Qin Sheng’s words made her feel like getting struck by a lightning, so she held back her meta force.

“The blood soul flower with you is only ninety-percent ripe. It’s a pity that the medicine got reduced a little for it’s been picked too early.” Qin Sheng said calmly.

“How did you know I had blood soul flower with me?” Xia Bingning blurted out, and then covered her mouth, realizing that she had leaked the news by herself.

Blood Soul Flower was the main ingredient for the second-level pills. It was extremely precious and could not be sought. It was worth tens of thousands of crystals. In addition, the blood soul flower could help repair the soul. A medicine with that kind of function was very rare, so its value could even be comparable to a third-level pill.

Third-level pills were extremely precious. There weren’t many even in the whole Dayan city.

Obviously, Zhao Qingcang also knew the value of the blood soul flower, so the anger in his chest disappeared completely. He looked at Xia Bingning and asked, “Bingning, did you really pick a blood soul flower?”

Xia Bingning’s face was full of shock, while there were a little alert in her eyes. She nodded to admit.

“Even if I have a blood soul flower with me, what does this have to do with me being poisoned?” Xia Bingning looked angry, and she didn’t want people to continue to focus on the blood soul flower, so she changed the topic.

Qin Sheng said lightly, “I think senior sister must know that the blood soul flower needs to grow in an extremely dangerous place full of death in the air, and with countless dead bodies buried underground. Usually these places have corpse poison.”

“Senior sister, you should have accidentally found blood soul flower on the way to hunting the scorpion-tailed tiger. So you picked it regardless of the risk of getting infected with corpse poison.”

Xia Bingning was both angry and frightened. She was angry that Qin Sheng had exposed her treasure to the world, but also surprised that a student who participated in the examination of the outer yard was not only proficient in pharmacology but also speculated so accurately about the process.

“So what? I picked it from a distance, so my skin didn’t touch the blood soul flower at all.” said Xia Bingning.

The nine main meridians in the body were all opened, and the next realm was soul-through realm.

The warrior of soul-through realm allowed practitioners to release meta force out and take things in the air from a distance.

“Really?”

Qin Sheng knocked on his head and said, “If it’s a natural blood soul flower, senior sister, you would be safe and sound. But it’s just that you picked the blood soul flower that is cultivated by the corpse king.”

“With your current strength, you can’t fight with the poison of the corpse king.”

Qin Sheng said softly, “The poison has invade into your heart. If you don’t believe it, you can run your meta force to your heart.”

Xia Bingning was so angry. She never heard of a corpse king on the edge of the Devil Dragon Mine, and the corpse king was only a rotten corpse. It’s only a walking dead. How could he cultivate blood soul flower?

‘This is so absurd!’

Xia Bingning realized that Qin Sheng might have happened to see her picking the blood of the flower, and he was just bluffing about it.

“Let me try it now. I must expose your lies!” Xia Bingning had always been cherished by others, and never been treated in a way like this today. She immediately started to use formula to bring meta force to her heart.

And suddenly!

“Puff.”

Xia Bingning’s body trembled, and then she spat out some dark blood which eroded the rocks. Much dead air quickly appeared among her eyebrows, and there was no trace of luster on her delicate face.

“This… How’s this possible?” Xia Bingning’s face changed sharply. She couldn’t believe this at all.
