"Let me see, it's the poison of a zombie demon, he's about to kick the bucket." Yu Longting felt my pulse after I asked him to come over, then his gaze turned frighteningly cold and severe.
In a rush, I took out my phone, but Yu Longting pressed down on the hand I was using to access the contacts list, "What are you trying to do?"
"Call Han Dai back and have the little zombie demon figure out a way to detoxify dumbass." I felt extremely nervous and oppressed inside, no matter how maliciously indifferent Yu Longting sounded.
With Yu Er's cultivation, he got poisoned less than five minutes ago, and he's already on his last breath.
One can imagine how terrifying this corpse poison is.
Yu Longting's piercing eyes met mine for a few seconds and he spoke deliberately, "There's only one way to cure the poison of the zombie demon, to burn the remains of the zombie demon to ashes after killing it and then take it with Cinnabar Sand."
"Bro… are you kidding me? Zombie demons aren't affected by fire or water, how can we burn them to ashes?" Rongling yelled, "I remember there have only been two zombie demons in this world, and the way they were ultimately annihilated was by dismembering them and burying the parts in different places."
I immediately understood what Rongling meant, "So, even if a zombie demon is dismembered, it can't be burned?"
"If you can convert a zombie demon, purify its spirit, then it can be burned to death. However, such an ending is more difficult than reaching the heavens."
As Yu Longting spoke to this point, he revealed a sinister smile.
Rongling's voice was electrified, "It's over, we're completely screwed now. That little thing didn't kill Han Dai, but bit me to death?? Am I not wronged here? I'm the world's biggest fool, more wronged than Dou E, snow in June..."
"However, Yu Er, you're quite lucky." Yu Longting took out a pure red elixir from his sleeve, "I originally got this to fortify my wife's health, and now to use it to detoxify this snake pig, it truly pains me. The sect crafted this over a thousand years and there's only this one left."
"Damn it, damn it, damn it..." Rongling spat out another mouthful of blood and cursed furiously, the veins popping on his forehead, "You have the antidote, and yet you're begrudging saving my life? Damn it... pfft... just let me die from vomiting blood."
Just as Yu Longting was about to feed the red elixir to Rongling.
"Snake Lord, help me, help me..." Beichen rushed upstairs in panic, holding a girl who was deathly pale.
At first glance, I didn't recognize the girl as Xiao Li. Upon closer inspection, I realized who she was, "Beichen, what happened to Xiao Li?"
"She... she... got maliciously injected with a needle while greeting guests." Beichen, usually so composed, now had a shaking voice and his pupils were drastically dilated.
Just as I was about to inquire what happened to Xiao Li, Yu Longting asked a completely different question, "What happened to that guest?"
"Killed him." Beichen simply uttered.
"Smack." Yu Longting slapped him across the face, "What a pig, if you wanted his life, just tell me, I would kill for you."
"You know my temper, I don't provoke others if they don't provoke me." Beichen held Xiao Li tightly, grinding his teeth so hard that they nearly shattered, his pristine teeth stained with blood.
Xiao Li coughed a few times in Beichen's arms, "Cough, cough, cough..."
Black blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
"It's corpse poison." I smelled the same stench of death in her blood as in Rongling's.
Without hesitation, Yu Longting threw the red elixir in his hand to Beichen, "Give this to her, it'll neutralize the poison immediately. In the future, make more talismans for her to carry; at the very least, ordinary people won't be able to get close to her, understand?"
"Okay." Beichen quickly fed Xiao Li...
The antidote.
Rongling's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, "Bro... Brother!! Bro!! You gave her the Jade Marrow Light Spirit Nascent Soul Pill, a once-in-a-millennium rare elixir, to an outsider, what about me... pfft... wah... ow..."
