Chapter 2182: Chapter 2090: The Roots of Love Run Deep (Part 1)
They were among the early arrivals, and there were still two days before the event started.
Xia Weibao closed the door and then took out the large bag of bottles and jars she had brought, placing them on the table.
Lu Hualiang casually picked up a bottle. "Crane’s Crest Red?"
Then he picked up another bottle. "Corpses Poison?"
He looked at several bottles, all of which contained deadly poison.
He found it hard to even drink water after seeing this. Hadn’t he been carrying these with him all these days? All ten of the martial world’s deadliest poisons were here!
Lu Hualiang looked somewhat disillusioned. "Is this what you’ve been concocting in the pharmacy every day?"
"Yes, hey, don’t touch them carelessly, these are all my treasures! Whether I become the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch depends on them!"
"Didn’t you say you were making injury medicine?"
For several days before departure, she locked herself in the pharmacy, claiming she was preparing some injury medicine in case she got hurt.
He always thought she was making some excellent injury medicine, but it turned out they were all poisons!
"I did make injury medicine." Xia Weibao rummaged through the pile of poisons and pulled out a small white porcelain bottle. "Look, isn’t this injury medicine? It’s highly effective, works like a charm, as long as it’s not a fatal injury. Oh, and I also made a Life-Saving Pill; as long as you still have a breath, it can keep you alive for one Shichen Chinese Time. Impressive, right?"
Lu Hualiang glanced at the two small bottles in the corner and then looked at the huge pile of colorful porcelain bottles on the table, which seemed to number in the dozens.
In comparison, those two bottles of injury medicine looked abnormally lonely, perhaps even pitiful.
Sighing and placing his hand on his forehead, he thought he shouldn’t have overestimated her; she’s definitely a Poison Doctor, not some miracle healer.
He hadn’t seen any interest in healing from her, but she was definitely skilled in researching poisons.
"What are you doing bringing so many poisons? You can’t use them in the selection competition."
"Sure I can." Xia Weibao didn’t even look up, picking out some practical poisons to carry with her.
Then she handed a few bottles to Lu Hualiang. "These are for you, for protection."
Lu Hualiang frowned. "Can you use poison in a martial arts duel?"
Was she serious? Isn’t the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch supposed to rely on strength? Using poisons to win isn’t honorable.
"Of course, the rules say you can always use poison."
"Isn’t that unfair?"
Xia Weibao shot him a sideways glance. "Listen to what you’re saying, why is it unfair? If you can’t even defend against a little poison, how can you have the audacity to become the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch?
Even if you do become Hierarch, you’ll end up being poisoned to death. As a Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, you need to be versatile.
Besides, using poison is also a skill. The people from Poison King Valley, their martial arts aren’t top-notch, but they’re masters at using poison. They’re part of the martial world too. If you don’t allow poison, how can the people from Poison King Valley compete? That’s skill discrimination.
Let me tell you, this time I’m thoroughly prepared. Look at these poisons, all carefully concocted to challenge the Valley Master of Poison King Valley."
Emma’s hands felt an itch; she heard from her master that the Valley Master’s poison was the best in the world, whether facing gods or demons. She didn’t know if it was true, but she was eager to find out...
Lu Hualiang, "..."
It was the first time he’d heard such an argument; it seemed... to make some sense.
No wonder she was always so confident; turns out it was because of her poison skills.
Suddenly, he didn’t know what to say. Was this how people in Jianghu played?
Yet, this seemed a bit more straightforward, as the rules explicitly stated poison could be used.
Unlike those who play tricks behind the scenes, who only use underhanded tactics.
Casually picking up a bottle Xia Weibao handed him, he looked down and nearly had his eyes pop out—Yin-Yang Love Powder...
