Chapter 381: Gu Can Detoxifies

Jiang Feng's voice was calm, yet it instantly broke the clamor of the scene.

All the mocking laughs abruptly stopped, and everyone present turned to look at Gu Can.

The Crowd that had been chattering was now so quiet that they could hear each other's Breath, and everyone's gaze focused on Gu Can.

Gu Can's smile froze instantly, as if someone had pressed a pause button.

He stared at the oiled paper packet Jiang Feng handed over, his brows furrowing.

Although he kept mocking Jiang Feng verbally, when the moment came to swallow the Medicine, Gu Can felt a faint unease rise in his heart.

Jiang Feng could see through the Core flaw of Gu Nantian's Poison Pill, and this insight into Medicine Theory already exceeded his expectations.

What if? If I really can't solve it, wouldn't I be doomed?

But the words had already been spoken, and the wager was made in front of so many people of Taoyuan Village.

If I back down now and dare not eat this Powder, wouldn't everyone laugh at me?

Gu Can is a Dan Dao Master at the Peak of Transforming Spirit Realm, and the Family Head of the Gu Family; he can't afford to lose face!

Gu Can took a deep Breath, his chest rising slightly, and forced the unease in his heart down.

He lifted his eyes to Jiang Feng, and his gaze was still full of arrogance.

"Hmph, if it's to eat, then eat!"

Gu Can let out a Cold Smile, his Tone rigid as steel as he said.

"I'll see, your broken trinket, whether it can actually poison me to death!"

Finishing his words, he didn't hesitate to extend his hand and snatch the oiled paper packet from Jiang Feng's grasp.

He tilted his head back, opened his mouth, and poured all the Powder straight into his mouth.

He didn't even chew; his throat moved, and he swallowed the entire Powder.

Gu Nantian's heart rose to his throat, his Fist clenched tightly!

Gu Can, after swallowing the Powder, Standing in place, was stunned for a moment.

His face showed no obvious change, just smacking his mouth, as if savoring the taste of the Powder.

After about three seconds, he suddenly turned his head to look at Gu Nantian, who was Standing nearby, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

"Although you are a rebellious son, your Medicine Theory attainment has not betrayed the Heritage of my Gu Family!"

"This Poison was refined with enough force; the moment it entered the throat, it felt a drilling force!"

As soon as the words fell, the Crowd saw Gu Can's mouth corner begin to ooze dark red blood.

"Ah! Gu Clan Leader is bleeding!"

Someone couldn't help but exclaim.

"Really poisoned? Jiang Feng's Poison Pill actually took effect?"

"No way? Gu Clan Leader is at the Peak of Transforming Spirit Realm, how could there be a reaction so quickly?"

The discussion rose again, and everyone looked at Gu Can with shocked faces, not expecting the Poison Pill's onset to be so rapid.

But Gu Can suddenly let out a Cold Smile, and a massive surge of true Qi erupted within his body.

A pressure of a Heavenly Human Realm strongman spread out, causing those nearby to involuntarily step back half a pace.

As the true Qi circulated, Gu Can's facial blood color recovered at a visibly rapid speed.

The face that had been slightly pale moments ago instantly turned much rosier, appearing even more spirited than before.

"Hmph, just a small trick!"

Gu Can sneered with a hum, and waved his hand indifferently at the Crowd.

"It's only Surface toxicity; it can't hurt me!"

He staggered a bit, as if the earlier toxicity had tugged his internal organs.

So he grabbed a nearby Wood chair, sat down, leaned back with a swagger, and instructed a Gu Family clan member beside him.

"Go to the Gu Family Medicine Store and bring three liang of Plum Chrysanthemum Herb, one liang of Qingxin Vine, five qian of Licorice Root, and three qian of Yulu Flower!"

"Remember, the Plum Chrysanthemum Herb must be three-year-old, the Qingxin Vine must have its old bark removed, and the Yulu Flower must still have dew; missing any is unacceptable!"

"Yes, Family Head!"

The clan member dared not delay, responded promptly, turned and ran toward the Gu Family direction with swift steps.

Everyone present was stunned.

"Is this... Gu Clan Leader is performing an on-site detoxification?"

"You figured out the antidote formula so quickly? Looks like Jiang Feng's Poison Pill really poses no threat to him!"

"I told you, Gu Clan Leader is a Dan Dao Master at the Peak of Transforming Spirit Realm; how could he be easily poisoned to death? Jiang Feng is still too young!"

Not long after, the clan member returned carrying a cloth bag.

He handed the cloth bag to Gu Can.

Gu Can took the bag, opened it, and saw that each item inside was prepared according to his request.

Gu Can nodded in satisfaction, and pulled a small Bronze Medicine Cauldron from his chest.

The Cauldron was about palm-sized, etched with simple patterns, yet emitted a faint Medicine fragrance.

He placed the Cauldron on the stone table before him, waved his hand, and a surge of true Qi poured into the Cauldron.

The Bronze Medicine Cauldron instantly heated up, its temperature rising rapidly.

"Watch closely!"

Gu Can said to Gu Nantian, his Tone carrying a hint of lecturing.

"Your Poison Pill appears to cycle Seven Deadly Poisons, which catalyze each other, ultimately converting into Fire Poison that erodes the Meridians!"

"The first step I take is to base with Plum Chrysanthemum Herb, suppressing the spread of Fire Poison; this is the foundation of detoxification!"

Gu Nantian, Standing nearby, saw his complexion grow increasingly grim.

He knows best the Core principle of his Poison Pill, and Gu Can's words were not a Minute off!

"Second step, add Clear Heart Vine!"

Gu Can again placed the prepared Clear Heart Vine into the medicine cauldron.

"Clear Heart Vine can penetrate Meridians, dissolve the dry qi generated by the interaction of Seven Deadly Poisons, and cut off their catalytic cycle!"

"Next is Licorice Root!"

Gu Can's movements never stopped, crushing Licorice Root and sprinkling it into the medicine cauldron.

"Licorice Root can harmonize the medicinal properties of Plum Chrysanthemum Herb and Clear Heart Vine, making them complement each other, and it can also neutralize part of the remaining Poison!"

After Licorice Root merged into the liquid, the pale teal liquid turned pale yellow, and the scent became warm and mellow.

"Finally, it's Jade Dew Flower!"

Gu Can picked up the Jade Dew Flower covered with dew, gave it a gentle pinch, and the dew and petals fell together into the medicine cauldron.

"The dew of Jade Dew Flower is essence; it can nourish yin, moisten dryness, and repair Meridians eroded by Fire Poison!"

The moment the Jade Dew Flower fell into the medicine cauldron, a burst of strong medicine fragrance erupted.

Gu Can controlled the heat, carefully circulating true qi, catalyzing the Elixir inside the medicine cauldron.

Not long after, he raised his hand and waved, a surge of true qi lifted the lid of the medicine cauldron.

Inside the medicine cauldron, a pigeon-egg-sized Metal-colored Elixir lay quietly Inside.

Its whole body was round and smooth, as if jade, and it looked like a supreme Elixir!

"Done!"

Gu Can's face showed a proud Laughter, he reached out, took the Metal-colored Elixir, and swallowed it in one gulp without hesitation.

The Elixir dissolved upon entering his throat, and a warm Medicine Power instantly spread out.

He closed his eyes, and a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.

After a moment, Gu Can slowly opened his eyes, Standing up, he moved his limbs a bit.

Then he walked to Jiang Feng's front, looking down at him from a height, his gaze full of mockery.

"Kid, you saw it, right?"

Gu Can let out a Cold Smile, Tone disdainful.

"Your so-called None Medicine can solve the deadly Poison, to me it's just a trivial trinket!"

"Still want to use Purple Soul Grass, this waste, to perfect the Poison Pill? I think you're simply unskilled, not even knowing the true use of Purple Soul Grass!"

The people around also started laughing loudly, their gazes toward Jiang Feng filled with contempt.

"When Gu Clan Leader makes a move, in a Minute the Poison is solved, Jiang Feng's Poison Pill is utterly insignificant!"

"The youngster is still too inexperienced, thinking a superficial grasp lets them dare to challenge Gu Clan Leader, truly overestimating themselves!"

Gu Nantian's complexion was Pale as Paper, his gaze filled with Despair.

Jiang Feng stood in place, his face still showing little expression.

He just quietly stared at Gu Can, his gaze carrying a faint hint of Laughter.

Just as the crowd's mocking laughter reached its peak, a sudden anomaly erupted!

Gu Can's Laughter on his face suddenly froze, his originally rosy complexion instantly turned Pale as Paper.

He let out a muffled hum, his body jolted sharply, and with a thud he half‑kneelt on the Ground, his face showing a Suffering expression.

Immediately after, he abruptly lifted his head.

He opened his mouth, and a massive gush of black blood spewed out!
