"Give it to ."
After holding on for a full five minutes, Xiaofan finally spoke up and asked Li San to hand over the pill.
However, looking at Xiaofan's expression, it seed like he had sohow managed to withstand the infiltration of the pain during those five minutes.
How did he do it?
Neurotoxins are difficult to fend off using Inner Strength. While challenging, it's not impossible. With Xiaofan's knowledge of human acupuncture points, as long as he explores gradually, he's sure to find a way to resolve it.
Gently stirring the pill and feeling its components, Xiaofan, who was in extre pain just a mont ago, suddenly started to laugh.
"You're still laughing? Damn it, I just wanted to die," Li San grumbled.
"It's okay, you won't die."
If others heard Xiaofan say this, they would surely mock him for being arrogant.
The Red Butterfly's use of poison is extrely sophisticated. If it were that easy to break, how would they maintain their reputation?
Yet, everyone should rember that Xiaofan had already dealt with Red Butterfly's most potent poison, the Black Scorpion, a long ti ago.
This isn't to say that Black Scorpion's poison is weak. An ordinary person who encounters it can die within twenty minutes, and even martial arts experts, like Ren Zhongtian, must use Inner Strength to hold on and then slowly expel it from their body.
The previously ntioned twenty minutes is extrely deadly. Even if you were in a hospital at the mont of being poisoned, doctors wouldn't be able to save you within twenty minutes. That's how dominant it is.
Of course, Xiaofan is very familiar with the thod of counteracting it. If he gets poisoned, he can suppress it with Inner Strength and then expel it slowly. If soone else is poisoned, he can use silver needles to control the spread and help them expel it. Xiaofan had already verified this on the bodyguards at Ye Dahe's house back in the day.
Therefore, Xiaofan's disdain towards the current neurotoxin is no exaggeration.
"How to resolve it?" Li San asked urgently.
"Just cut off that R letter. However, it shouldn't be cut during an episode. You must cut it after taking the pill we just swallowed."
"Cut it off? Skin and all?" Li San gulped.
"Yes, the toxin spreads from that R letter, seeping into the nerves. The pill we took is indeed an antitoxic dicine but it only neutralizes the nerve toxin, providing relief for about a week. Once the effect wears off, the toxin will continue to spread from the R letter again," Xiaofan explained slowly.
"Is there no other way?"
"There is, which is to obey the Red Butterfly's arrangnts, consistently get the antidote every week and earn their approval. If they're sure you won't betray them, they'll certainly use an antidote to remove the tattoo. Xiaofan guessed, but with a high degree of accuracy. Becoming a formal internal mber ans gaining acknowledgnt. Of course, that's not the whole story.
The Red Butterfly decides whom to detoxify entirely on their terms.
"There's no defense against that," Li San shook his head with a bitter smile.
"What are you afraid of? Tomorrow, I'll teach you to seal a few acupuncture points with silver needles. There's no need to take the dicine in that case, and it'll equally prevent the poison from spreading. Besides, making the pill isn't that hard."
"Oh? You know how to make it? You should've said it earlier... scared half to death," Li San imdiately laughed.
"I can make it, but I don't have the ti. Tomorrow, I'll first teach you how to seal several points, which can last for three days, then repeat. This poison won't kill; it just causes unbearable pain."
"That already exceeds the limits of human endurance," Li San said, still sowhat fearful.
"I'll make a call." Xiaofan took out his phone, having previously verified using the thod Li Kuo taught him that the other party hadn't bugged or tracked his personal items, although there was a hidden chip in the bank card. This reminded Xiaofan of when he first t Shen Zuimo and used her card to withdraw money, thus exposing their tracks.
"Hello, Ren Ying."
"Yes."
"Do you know how to make Fragrant Spirit Pills?"
"Fragrant Spirit Pills? Yes, do you need so?"
"Yes, make so for , start with fifty, smaller by one-third compared to normal Fragrant Spirit Pills. The ingredients must be complete, not missing a single one."
"Okay, when do you need them?"
"Tomorrow night, bring my needles along, put the pills in a chewing gum bottle for , inside the water tank of the second restroom at the nightclub on Bolan Street."
"Alright, I'll prepare now. Do you need Qi Replenishing Pills?"
"Hmm? You brought so?" Xiaofan asked unexpectedly.
"No, I can make so too, if needed I'll make them as well."
"Good,"
After hanging up, Li San awaited Xiaofan's response.
"What are you looking at? Aren't you going to sleep after your shower?"
"No, I know about Qi Replenishing Pills, Grandma Ren's Great Nourishing Pill, but what on earth are Fragrant Spirit Pills?" Li San inquired.
"They're what we just took, but with fewer ingredients than typical Fragrant Spirit Pills, which themselves are slightly toxic. The toxicity is mild, but consuming a lot can numb the nerves. Usually, it's used to expel damp poison from children. Currently, with advanced technology, only a few old traditional Chinese dicine practitioners might preserve this thod, but its manufacturing process is too cumberso. Grandma Ren is a Miaojiang descendant, so she must be familiar with them, and Ren Ying should have so knowledge too."
"Amazing, insightful. Hahaha, tomorrow night there's another chance to have so fun on Bolan Street," Li San chuckled.
"We can't remove this tattoo just yet."
"I know, after all, it won't kill, and you have a solution. What am I afraid of? But why are you having Ren Ying make so many? Fifty pills could last us five months, yet you're still having him continue?" Li San asked further.
"Better to be safe than sorry."
"Wait, I suddenly thought of a way to crack the Red Butterfly's plan."
"Oh, let's hear it," Xiaofan chuckled lightly.
"Since we have a way to suppress this poison, we can use this thod to control other poisoned Red Butterfly outer mbers, and let them turn around to help us. I believe many of them aren't voluntary," Li San said excitedly.
"Wow, your brain is really underutilized by not hitting the books."
"Hehe, I'll take it as a complint. Actually, thieving is quite a promising profession. Back in the day, my grandpa Li Yunlong... hey, Xiaofan, where are you headed?"
"Taking a shower. I've heard your grandfather's heroic tales eight hundred tis already," Xiaofan shook his head with a wry smile.
"Listen to one more ti, Hey, how was my idea just now? Is it feasible?"
"Yet to be determined, but next ti you see Uncle Zhong, make sure to flip out and curse him out."
"Eh, that's my forte, no... what do you an huh, co on, one more ti, my grandpa was amazing... hey, really no respect huh?"
