Chapter 53: Brewing Medicine to Save Lives, Poison to Kill

The Medicine Elder was both amused and irritated by Chu Xiaotian's lack of deference, given he was now Chu Xiaotian's master.

"Alright."

Chu Xiaotian remembered that today was the day of the life-and-death duel.

"The first contest is medical poison."

"The second contest is combat."

Seeing Chu Xiaotian approaching, Hu Qiang looked at the Medicine Elder and slowly spoke.

"Fine."

Hearing Hu Qiang's words, the Medicine Elder agreed without any objection.

"Why so timid?"

Chu Xiaotian inwardly despised the Medicine Elder's cowardly appearance.

"Xue'er, you poison; and you, detoxify."

Hu Qiang looked at the girl beside her with a rare gentle expression, but her gaze towards Chu Xiaotian was endlessly cold, making him shiver and unable to meet her eyes directly.

"Okay."

Chu Xiaotian agreed, resisting the pressure.

"Go."

Xue'er stepped forward from Hu Qiang's side with a cold look and indifferent expression, and suddenly attacked Chu Xiaotian. In an instant, a beam of light entered Chu Xiaotian's body.

"What are you doing?"

Chu Xiaotian's eyes filled with anger at this sight.

"I've poisoned you with Five-Body Poison. If you don't detoxify within five minutes, you'll die on the spot."

Xue'er spoke coldly.

"Quickly detoxify."

The Medicine Elder, seeing Chu Xiaotian looking at him for help, loudly reminded him.

"Alright."

Realizing the Medicine Elder wouldn't help, Chu Xiaotian bitterly smiled. He quickly searched his sea of consciousness for a way to detoxify the Five-Body Poison and soon found a method.

However, he lacked many spiritual herbs needed.

"Here."

The Medicine Elder, noticing Chu Xiaotian's predicament, waved his hand, and spiritual herbs appeared in front of Chu Xiaotian.

"Thank you, master!"

Chu Xiaotian smiled, hurriedly moved to a side with a furnace, and started brewing medicine.

"Thump, thump!"

As Chu Xiaotian was about to start, the poison rapidly spread in his body, his heart beating violently, and he began to stiffen.

"Suppress it."

Chu Xiaotian, his face ugly, used spiritual energy to frantically suppress the spread of the poison.

His hands moved incredibly fast, as if dancing on the edge of a knife.

He had only one chance to succeed; otherwise, death awaited him. And from the Medicine Elder's attitude, it was clear he didn't plan to intervene.

"Faster! Even faster!"

Chu Xiaotian pushed his spiritual power to the limit, using spiritual energy to ignite the flames under the furnace, relentlessly brewing.

Five minutes was too short, but Chu Xiaotian reached the final step of the brewing process.

In an instant, his face turned pale, his breathing rapid, and his body stiffened, unable to move.

"Come to me."

Finally, the medicine was ready. Unable to move his hands and feet, Chu Xiaotian used his spiritual power to move the furnace, opened it, and swallowed the medicine in one gulp.

"Gurgle!"

The medicine entered his body, instantly transforming into pure medicinal power, spreading to every part of his body, resisting the toxin.

"Suppress it."

With the support of the medicinal power, the toxin stopped spreading and even began to clear. Chu Xiaotian's face revealed a smile of relief.

"Out!"

After several minutes, Chu Xiaotian's complexion completely recovered, showing no signs of poisoning.

As he commanded, a beam of light rapidly flew towards Xue'er, seemingly intending to enter her body.

"Break!"

Just as the light was about to enter Xue'er, Hu Qiang slapped it, dispersing the Five-Body Poison into the air, vanishing without a trace.

"You can not only detoxify but also control the toxin?"

Hu Qiang looked at Chu Xiaotian, her eyes filled with shock, exclaiming aloud.

Even the Medicine Elder didn't expect Chu Xiaotian to achieve this and couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes, senior."

Although Chu Xiaotian didn't like Hu Qiang, he had to respectfully answer, given his inferior strength.

"How did you do it?"

Hu Qiang asked Chu Xiaotian.

"I first dispersed the toxin in my body with medicinal power, then controlled the remaining toxin in one area with residual medicinal power. I used spiritual energy to force them out. Although I can't control the toxin, I can control the medicinal power."

Chu Xiaotian didn't continue, assuming Hu Qiang would understand.

"Very good."

Hu Qiang nodded in satisfaction.

"Xue'er lost this round. Let's proceed to the next combat."

Hu Qiang nodded, then returned to calm, but this time her gaze towards Chu Xia

otian contained a bit more satisfaction.

"Okay."

Chu Xiaotian agreed.

Xue'er was also shocked that Chu Xiaotian could suppress and even control the toxin. Her cold eyes turned towards Chu Xiaotian, filled with a strong desire to compete.

"Kill!"

Xue'er, not skilled in speech, attacked Chu Xiaotian instantly. Poison spread from her palm, and deadly fumes diffused from her body, wilting the surrounding vegetation.

Her strike was not just poisonous but also infused with strong spiritual energy, agile as a venomous snake, extremely formidable.

"Break!"

Facing Xue'er's strike, Chu Xiaotian clenched his fists.

A dragon's roar echoed faintly, his fist like a breaking stone, reminiscent of roaring dragons.

His punch was like a towering mountain, or a dragon soaring through the seas, completely crushing Xue'er's poisonous intent.

"Bang!"

Fist and palm collided in an instant.

The strong wind scattered, and the poison rapidly followed Chu Xiaotian's fist, attacking him.

"Break! Break! Break!"

Facing the oncoming poison, sword energy diffused from Chu Xiaotian's body.

The sword energy, fierce and suppressive, eradicated everything, immune to all poisons.

"Suppress!"

Breaking the poisonous intent, Chu Xiaotian's eyes revealed the meaning of yin and yang.

Yin and yang transform life and death. At this moment, Chu Xiaotian was proficient in all three domains.

The meaning of yin and yang spread, seemingly separating life from death.

His punch completely crushed the poisonous intent and struck Xue'er's body.

"Puff!"

Xue'er stumbled and retreated rapidly, spitting blood from her throat, her face instantly turning pale.

In combat, Xue'er also lost.

"Three domains?"

Seeing this, Hu Qiang's eyes showed surprise, exclaiming joyfully.

"How can one person possess three domains?"

Hu Qiang couldn't comprehend this.

After all, a domain is the manifestation of the power of understanding. Every person has limited energy, and comprehending one or even two understandings is already quite impressive.
