Luck taken away? It doesn't matter, I quietly become a god

Chapter 530 What about trust between people?

"Fourth Senior Brother's family heirloom poison pill, how could it be so potent?" Rong Shu carefully observed Yin Huaijin's poisoning process, not missing a single detail.

This was the first time she had tested poison on a cultivator; previously, she could only test it on small demonic beasts.

The Demon-Gathering Pill currently being used on Yin Huaijin has been successfully diluted after numerous trials, since she wasn't aiming to kill anyone.

Rong Shu used acupressure remotely, sending out several silver needles from his fingertips to insert into various major acupoints of Yin Huaijin, protecting his heart and lungs.

As the spread of the poison slowed down, Yin Huaijin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out various antidotes to try to detoxify himself.

However, after trying bottle after bottle of antidote pills... Yin Huaijin's forehead was covered in sweat, and he was extremely anxious.

"Why hasn't the poison been neutralized at all? What kind of poison is this? How can it affect my mind?!" Realizing that his emotions were fluctuating too much, Yin Huaijin was horrified, but he could only force himself to calm down and keep his mind clear.

"Are you alright?" Seeing that the other party was still unable to get rid of the poison, Rong Shu was really afraid that something unexpected might happen, so he took out the antidote pill that he and his fourth senior brother had made together and threw one over.

"This is a specially made antidote pill. Take it first to detoxify."

“…Thank you.” Yin Huaijin blushed as he accepted the medicine, which meant he had lost.

"The antidote pill cannot completely cure the poison. You will need to find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed and circulate your spiritual energy for six hours to force out all the poison."

"...Thank you for informing me." Yin Huaijin was visibly dejected. He hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't help asking, "Why can't the antidote completely neutralize the poison? Is it because a complete antidote hasn't been developed?"

Rong Shu explained, "Oh, not exactly."

What nonsense are you talking about?

This antidote pill that suppresses toxicity was something she was able to develop only after having enough time inside the Time Tower.

Rong Shu had not yet figured out how to develop a true antidote.

Although he was inwardly complaining, Rong Shu remained outwardly calm and composed, offering a profound explanation:

"...I just felt that if the antidote pills accidentally fell into the enemy's hands, wouldn't it be like allowing the enemy to recover immediately if they could detoxify all the poison at once? So, I developed an antidote pill that could only suppress the poison. In this way, the enemy's first choice would definitely be to detoxify, rather than continue to cause me trouble."

Yin Huaijin: "..." That's it?

"Are you still going to compete?" Rong Shu rummaged through his storage bag: "I have another poison called Ten Thousand Poisons Heart-Binding Powder. It was originally made from a fusion of ten thousand poisons. If you try to cure just one of them, it will disrupt the balance of toxicity. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the poison will penetrate deep into your lungs and become incurable..."

"But don't worry, I've diluted the poison. Even if something goes wrong along the way, the time from the onset of the poison to death has been extended to the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, which should be enough for me to save you..."

"No, no, no! I won't compete anymore!" Yin Huaijin shook his head vigorously, his face as white as paper, as if he had seen his deceased great-grandmother.

"I surrender! I've lost! I'm leaving now... the cave is yours..."

Holy crap!

"Heart-Binding Powder"? There's such a poison in the world? Absolutely shocking!

Yin Huaijin was so afraid that Rong Shu would poison him again that he ran away before he could completely suppress the toxicity of the Gathering Evil Demon Transformation Pill.

Rong Shu was left standing there, blinking innocently as he looked up at the sky.

“Ah…” Rong Shu turned to ask Yin Zhaoshui, “Your brother is quite lively. As expected of a disciple of the Five Poisons Sect, he is an expert in poisons. His body has a strong resistance to poison. He’s already jumping around even before the poison has been completely neutralized.”

Yin Zhaoshui swallowed hard and slowly moved away from Rong Shu: "...Boss, you're my boss, right? Then it's a deal, okay? If you poisoned my brother, you can't poison me, okay?"

Rong Shu looked helpless: "Am I the kind of person who would just poison people like that?"

Yin Zhaoshui immediately shook her head: "...Hehe, you're not, you're not!"

Rong Shu: "..." Your eyes clearly show you don't believe me! And why did you secretly move several steps further away again?!

What about trust between people?

Can we have a little more warmth and a little less suspicion?

Rong Shu shook his head and sighed, continuing to search for the next "victim"... no, the next lovely and kind senior brother or sister.

"Feng Hua City, Yao Chi Palace, Liu Huiyin."

"Feng Hua City, Yao Chi Palace, Qu Chang".

Just as Rong Shu was about to throw out explosive talismans to randomly bombard the cave below, two stunningly beautiful women with peach-blossom-like faces appeared before him.

"We two would like to make friends through music and exchange ideas with Junior Sister Rong from Ziguiyuan. What do you think, Junior Sister Rong?"

Yaochi Palace, a second-tier power, is located in Fenghua City in the Red Dust Domain. Everyone in the sect, from the palace master and elders to disciples and even servants, is a woman.

The steps to the Jade Pool are shrouded in clouds, each step revealing a new splendor.

Three cups of wine, and the moon over the Jade Pool is drunk to its fullest.

Disciples of the sect are required to be proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting; and to have the Four Books and Five Classics memorized.

Therefore, most of the sect members are sound cultivators.

Rong Shu bowed and said, "Fairy of Yaochi, your beauty is unparalleled. After witnessing the splendor of the two elder sisters today, I know that your words are not untrue."

The two senior female students covered their mouths and chuckled.

"Junior sister has such a sweet tongue."

"If it were a man, even I, as a sister, would fall for him!"

The two were clearly not cultivators who specialized in seductive arts, but the bursts of coquettish laughter made Rong Shu's ears tingle and his bones feel lighter.

[Rong Shu, be careful. These two are disciples of my Yaochi Palace, Liu Huiyin and Senior Sister Qu Chang. One is skilled in playing the pipa, and the other is skilled in dancing. Their combined performance and dance are not to be underestimated...]

Among the new students at Ziguiyuan, Gu Wanzheng, who also came from Yaochi Palace, secretly transmitted her voice to Rong Shu and revealed some information about the two of them.

Rong Shu's heart skipped a beat. When she looked again, she saw that Liu Huiyin had taken out a pipa. With her fingertips gently plucking the strings, the notes flowed, as if a spring breeze had come overnight and thousands of pear trees were in bloom.

Before my eyes, it was as if a beautiful scroll of spring colors had been unfurled. With the melodious music and the babbling of the stream, I felt as if I were there, and I couldn't help but dance along with the colorful butterflies playing among the flowers.

A glint of golden light flashed in Rong Shu's eyes, and his technique, [Divine Guidance], automatically activated, blocking out some of the pipa's seductive sounds.

She glanced around and saw that some students in the distance couldn't help but rush forward when they heard the music.

The sound of this pipa could have such a great impact?

As the pipa played, Qu Chang on the other side gently flicked her sleeves, her graceful figure swaying with the rise and fall of the music.

Every frown and smile, every step and sway, exudes a myriad of charms.

One glance back, and it captivates the soul.

Before Rong Shu's eyes appeared countless figures, all of them Qu Chang dancing, smiling faintly at her.

Step by step, slowly approaching Rong Shu...
