Chapter 75: Is This Even Considered Poison?

~7 min read 1,240 words

Jiang Feng looked at the dark‑red bottle of Heart‑Eater Powder in Sun Zizai's hand, stepped forward, and directly took the porcelain bottle from Sun Zizai.

Since your poison is ready, I'll drink first.

As soon as the words fell, he tilted his head and gulped down the poison in the porcelain bottle.

The poison slid down Jiang Feng's throat without any pause.

It was as if he were drinking not lethal poison but ordinary tea.

Jiang Feng!

Hua Jing shouted in fright, reached out to block but it was too late, froze in place, his face ashen.

Su Xueyan instantly clenched her fist, eyes full of tension, yet she held back from charging.

She knew that rushing forward now would only disrupt Jiang Feng's rhythm.

Sun Zizai was also startled, eyes wide as if he'd seen a ghost.

You… you're crazy? I haven't let you drink! And you haven't even prepared your poison!

He didn't expect Jiang Feng to be so straightforward, drinking the Heart‑Eater Powder outright!

Is this guy really that reckless? Does he think the deadly poisons of Medicine King Valley are a joke?

Zhao Ming, standing nearby, had his pupils suddenly contract.

He knows the toxicity of Heart‑Eater Powder better than anyone; even Sun Zizai, who has a toxin‑resistant constitution, wouldn't dare try it lightly.

The crucial point is that this blood‑curdling poison, when drunk, left Jiang Feng seemingly unharmed?

He even smacked his lips, saying something with a hint of dissatisfaction.

The taste is indeed average, a bit sweet and cloying, not as rich as the Drunken Immortal Powder my Master refined.

Bro? You think this is milk tea? Still find it too sweet?

Jiang Feng casually tossed the empty porcelain bottle onto the table.

He… he's actually fine?

Heart‑Eater Powder! A blend of seven deadly poisons! How can he be fine?

Could Doctor Jiang also have a toxin‑resistant constitution? Even stronger than Sun Zizai?

Voices of discussion rose and fell; Yang Wencheng's smile froze instantly as he leaned toward Zhao Ming.

Senior Brother Zhao, what… what's happening? Why does Jiang Feng show no reaction at all?

Zhao Ming frowned and shook his head.

I don't know. Maybe the Heart‑Eater Powder hasn't taken effect yet; wait a bit longer. Within half an hour he'll definitely react!

At this moment even he finds Jiang Feng hard to read.

He only knows that Yang Wencheng has truly provoked a terrifying figure this time.

Just this mindset, the whole Medicine King Valley might have few who can match it.

Even he, the senior brother of Medicine King Valley, feels inferior now.

Sun Zizai regained his composure, watching Jiang Feng's untroubled demeanor, feeling both shocked and angry.

Jiang Feng, don't force it! When the Heart‑Eater Powder's toxicity kicks in, it'll be far worse than you imagine; you'll be rolling on the ground in pain, so don't beg for mercy!

Jiang Feng ignored him, turned toward the Jishi Hall medicine cabinet, and reached into the bottom drawer to take out several herbs.

There were common licorice, mint, as well as honeysuckle and perilla leaves.

All ordinary medicinal materials neighbors use for colds and fevers, with not a single rare herb.

What's he doing with these cheap herbs? Trying to make an antidote?

That's not right! Isn't he supposed to mix poison for Sun Zizai to drink? These herbs aren't even poisonous!

He must have been poisoned by Heart‑Eater Powder and got confused! Picked the wrong stuff!

The surrounding chatter rose again, and Hua Jing hurried over.

Jiang Feng, what are you doing with these herbs? Find detoxifying materials quickly!

Jiang Feng remained calm.

Old Hua, I'm using these to mix poison; this amount is enough to deal with Sun Zizai.

Mix poison?

Sun Zizai leaned over, glanced, and couldn't help but burst into laughter upon seeing licorice and mint.

Jiang Feng, are you really poisoned‑stupid by Heart‑Eater Powder? These are ordinary herbs, not even poisonous; you're using them to mix poison? Are you trying to replenish my body?

He pointed at the herbs, his tone full of mockery, loudly lecturing as if giving a science lesson.

Licorice can harmonize properties, mint cools and relieves heat, honeysuckle clears heat and detoxifies… Tell me, how do these mix into poison? If you want to concede, just say so; no need to humiliate yourself!

Zhao Ming sneered, "Mr. Jiang, even if you're buying time, don't fool people with these. People of Medicine King Valley aren't scared by a few ordinary herbs."

Jiang Feng gave no explanation, simply placed the herbs into a makeshift stone mortar, picked up the pestle, and began grinding casually.

Bang bang bang…

The grinding sound was crisp; the herbs were quickly pulverized into powder, mixing together.

It still smelled of mint's fresh fragrance, looking nothing like poison at all.

Sun Zizai laughed even louder after watching.

Jiang Feng, if this counts as poison, I, Sun Zizai, will eat this stone mortar on the spot! Admit defeat quickly, don't waste everyone's time here!

Jiang Feng kept to himself, poured the powder into a clean paper packet, and handed it to Sun Zizai.

Whether it's poison, you'll know once you eat it; I tell you, this medicine is extremely toxic…

Sun Zizai stared at the pale‑green powder packet, then at Jiang Feng's calm eyes, and an inexplicable unease rose within him.

But soon his boundless confidence made him pick up the so‑called poison.

Playing tricks, I'll see how this little thing could kill me!

Sun Zizai quickly opened the Medicine Bag and poured it into his mouth.

The light‑green Powder just as it entered his mouth tasted a refreshing mint flavor, with a hint of licorice sweetness, indistinguishable from ordinary cooling tea.

Sun Zizai swallowed the Powder and laughed loudly.

"Jiang Feng! What you have is not Poison at all, it's just an ordinary heat‑clearing decoction! You lose!"

The people around also froze in shock.

The Powder really has no Poison? Jiang Feng truly gave up?

Yang Wencheng, seeing this, finally completely relaxed.

This guy really doesn't understand toxin refining, yet he gave Senior Brother Sun a supplemental medicine? It's laughably ridiculous.

Zhao Ming wore a trace of sigh on his face.

"What a pity, this person's medical skill is decent, but he is clueless about Poisons; to die like this is also quite regrettable."

Anyway, Jiang Feng has the Ghost Gate Thirteen Hands.

Having such a legendary massage art at his side, even in Medicine King Valley he can live very comfortably.

Zhao Ming was just about to shake his head and leave when he suddenly saw Sun Zizai's face, and his complexion changed instantly.

"Junior Brother Sun, what's wrong with you?"

"Hmm? I'm fine, Senior Brother, what are you saying? *hiss*… so itchy."

Sun Zizai was startled, before he could finish speaking.

He suddenly felt his nose itch, reached out to touch it, and his Pupils instantly dilated!

Because at that moment his Fingers bore a small streak of black blood!

"This… what's happening?"

Sun Zizai was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, his vision went black.

And in the eyes of the others, black blood also began to flow from Sun Zizai's eyes.

The black blood dripped down his cheek, looking especially eerie!

Everyone's gaze focused on Sun Zizai's face.

His nose and eyes were wildly spewing black blood.

The black blood dripped onto the Ground, even emitting a faint white smoke, clearly carrying lethal Poison!
