Chapter 3597: I Still Have Use

His special ability's medicinal power had now broken through to the Heaven-grade. What level is a Heaven-grade pharmacist? Invulnerable to a hundred poisons? No, it should be the stage of being invulnerable to ten thousand poisons. Take the nerve toxin from the Devil's Grass that Ding Dingding once used on him, for example. If Ding Dingding were to use that poison on him now, he could simply use his medicinal power to turn it back on her, making her suffer the consequences. It's that simple.

The world didn't know that their Crown Prince of Shenzhou was already a Heaven-grade pharmacist, a rarity in the world. You could probably scour the Upper Three Continents and not find even five Yellow-grade pharmacists, let alone someone at the Heaven-grade realm. Consider Wang Dongping from Huiping Village; after much experience with corpse puppets, he's merely a High-grade pharmacist. He's miles away from the Yellow-grade.

A High-grade pharmacist's medicinal power can have a certain controlling effect on corpse poison within the human body. Pharmacists are scarce; otherwise, Crown Prince Mo wouldn't have cherished a talent like the seemingly insignificant High-grade pharmacist Wang Dongping. Therefore, for Danyi Su to flaunt her venomous snake and attempt to use its potent poison against the Crown Prince was simply overestimating herself.

Danyi Su's fingers, clutching her chest, twitched uncontrollably. Blood seeped through her fingers, continuously flowing down, instantly turning her face deathly pale.

"Your, Your Highness," Danyi Su's trembling body staggered backward, step by step, mumbling for mercy, "It, it was Su Su whose heart was, was blinded by greed. Su Su knows, knows she was wrong. Please, please, spare me this once."

Mo Lian's phoenix eyes fixed coldly on the woman before him. This was the first time the man had looked at her with such intense focus. However, Danyi Su felt no joy or pleasure; instead, the suppressed fear deep within her only grew.

She was so terrified her legs felt weak and shaky. With a turn, clutching her chest, she barely managed to summon enough energy to rush down the cliff. In that split second, a long, slender black fire whip shot out from behind him, landing with a "snap" on half of her body, tearing her skin and flesh, leaving a long bloody gash on her back.

Danyi Su twisted her head around in horror, gazing at Mo Lian, who was slowly approaching her, and shrieked, "You, you can't kill me! You can't kill! I, I am a Divine-grade Alchemist."

Her short-circuited mind seemed to suddenly reconnect. She quickly flipped her hand, pulling out many pills from her inner world, and frantically swallowed them handful by handful. She mumbled indistinctly to Mo Lian, "I, I can save, save your mother. You, you kill me, I, I am not worth regretting my death, but do you even disregard, disregard your mother's life?"

Mo Lian looked at her indifferently, "Oh?"

"You can save the Empress?"

"Yes, yes! As, as long as we find Phoenix Wood, and also Ghost Miasma Grass, Snow Region Flower, Green Blood Vermillion Fruit, we can, we can gather the materials to refine the Soul-Returning Pill for your mother. I, I can..."

"One percent," Mo Lian interrupted her words indifferently, his tone cold. "With your current alchemy realm, the success rate for refining the Soul-Returning Pill is only one percent."

A one percent success rate for refining pills was equivalent to giving her a pile of good medicinal materials to waste; achieving success would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"No, no, it's not." Danyi Su's pupils constricted slightly. "I, I, I am useful, I, I am still useful, Your Highness."
