Chapter 31: All-purpose Detox Pill Auction, Nine-colored Centipede Super Compound Poison, Easily Neutralized!

Hello, I am Zhang Tao, manager of the Heavenly Battle Auction House.

Sir, what would you like to auction? Could you take it out so I can have a look?

If the item's value does not meet the Heavenly Battle Auction House's approval, we will not proceed with the auction.

The middle-aged man Zhang Tao said.

If the other party's item truly isn't valuable, he would rather not do this business than damage the Heavenly Battle Auction House's prestige.

After all, the Heavenly Battle Auction House deals exclusively with top-tier nobles, wealthy merchants, and political magnates.

These people's eyes are extremely picky.

Moreover, the Heavenly Battle Auction House is one of the forces under the Crown Prince's command.

Li Fei took out a red silk box from his soul tool, placed it on the table, and upon opening it, a refreshing fragrance instantly filled the entire room.

Inside the silk box lay a single green little pill.

What a nice smell—could this be a medicinal pill?

Zhao Tao's eyes lit up, and he said.

Across the continent, only the Breaking One Clan knows how to refine medicinal pills, but its quality and fragrance cannot compare to this one before us.

Li Fei nodded and said, "Not bad, this is a medicinal pill. Its name is the All-purpose Detox Pill; it can detoxify any poison in the world! Even the most terrifying compound poison, it can neutralize just as well."

It's not surprising that people here would recognize this rare medicinal pill.

The Heavenly Battle Auction House is so large, dealing with all kinds of people from the world, it's inevitable that they've encountered such things before.

"We can't determine its value just based on your word without proof," Zhao Tao said, showing a hesitant expression. After all, the pill's effect is too heaven-defying; he finds it hard to believe, and without any solid evidence to prove it, he would also struggle to convince others.

If it were a fake, he would be ruined, and the Heavenly Battle Auction House would lose face spectacularly.

Li Fei is no fool; he naturally understood the other layer of meaning in that fellow's words.

He then took out another one and handed it to Zhao Tao, saying, "Then find a poisoned creature and have it consume it."

Zhao Tao thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll get in touch with you. If this pill is truly that powerful, I'm willing to spend the same amount as its auction price to buy back the one you use. But if it doesn't have that effect, then we'll have to look elsewhere."

Soon, they arrived at a dungeon.

Here they imprisoned various soul beasts, as well as beastmen, and even humans who had lost their sanity.

In the inner chamber lay a soul beast stricken with super deadly poison, lying on the ground, breathing its last.

Zhao Tao introduced, "This thousand-year Frost Flower Deer has been poisoned by the thousand-year Nine-colored Centipede's compound deadly poison; even our auxiliary and healing soul masters are helpless. If it continues like this, it won't survive tonight. If your All-purpose Detox Pill can neutralize the poison on its body, we can auction it for you, and you'll receive half of the price the Frost Flower Deer fetches."

Lying on the ground, its entire body was covered in nine-colored blood lines, looking extremely sinister.

The Frost Flower Deer weakly gazed at Zhao Tao and Li Fei, unable to resist, only able to await its impending death.

"I never expected this fellow to actually have been bitten by a Nine-colored Centipede—this terrifying creature possesses nine kinds of super deadly compound poison; even if a Title Battle Emperor were bitten and not treated in time, they would risk death. Moreover, after ten thousand years, the Nine-colored Centipede evolves into a Nine-colored Centipede Dragon, beginning to carry a trace of dragon blood, and after a hundred thousand years it becomes a Nine-colored Centipede Dragon."

Li Fei thought to himself, these days he also had the Li family gather books related to soul beasts everywhere, which included an introduction to the Nine-colored Centipede.

This Nine-colored Centipede is also an extremely rare species; originally thought to be extinct, yet it still exists.

The books record that, according to legend, in ancient times there existed a hundred-thousand-year Nine-colored Centipede Dragon; because its poison was too terrifying and its temperament savage, it was slain by a coalition of human Title Battle Emperors. In that battle, only one Title Battle Emperor survived, yet even he had been poisoned and soon died.

Although they all died, it was indeed a good deed for humanity.

"Capturing a ten-thousand-year Nine-colored Centipede Dragon to use as a fourth soul ring wouldn't be bad either," Li Fei thought, then nodded and said, "Alright."

Zhao Tao took the medicinal pill and stuffed it into the Frost Flower Deer's mouth.

The medicinal pill melted upon contact, turning into a warm current that quickly rushed through the Frost Flower Deer's entire body.

The next second, the Frost Flower Deer collapsed limp on the ground, motionless, as if dead.

Huh?

Zhao Tao looked at Li Fei with doubtful eyes.

Normal, just wait a moment.

Li Fei wore a calm expression, but inside he was not at peace; this medicinal pill was also his first time refining, made from substitute ingredients, so its effect naturally wasn't as potent as the original formula's materials, and he didn't know whether it could neutralize the Nine-colored Centipede's poison.

However, the scene that followed answered their doubts.

Only saw the Frost Flower Deer's body flash with a green light; the comatose Frost Flower Deer opened its eyes, then sprang up lively before them, those nine-colored poison glands all disappeared, and its weak complexion regained vitality and blood vigor.

The Frost Flower Deer felt within its body a mighty dragon's vigor and an exuberant wood-attribute life energy! The nine-colored deadly poison inside it had indeed vanished without a trace! Seeing this, Li Fei secretly let out a sigh of relief.

He was very satisfied with the pill's effect; Zhao Tao first showed surprise, then satisfaction, saying, "Excellent, this pill truly is a wonder-drug!"

Rest assured, I will pay for this pill according to the price it fetches at auction.

Coincidentally, there's an auction tonight; you can treat this pill as the final hidden treasure.

Zhao Tao adjusted his glasses and said.

"Fine, but I hope you can hype up your auction house a bit to drive the price up," Li Fei said with deep meaning.

Don't worry, we'll take care of that.

At night, a temporary notice quickly appeared among the prominent people of Heavenly Battle City.

And they publicized the effect of this medicinal pill in neutralizing the Nine-colored Centipede's poison.

This would draw even more attention from everyone.

In a manor, an old man wearing green clothes looked at the notice in his hand and sneered, "All-purpose Detox Pill? Able to neutralize any poison in the world? How arrogant."

After scoffing, he wiped away his smile and pondered, "But actually being able to neutralize the Nine-colored Centipede's super compound poison—this pill does seem to have some skill; perhaps it's worth this old man personally going to see. Moreover, this notice came from the Heavenly Battle Auction House; if it's fake, it would undoubtedly be gambling with his own reputation."

"This old man wants to see whether this pill, claimed to neutralize any poison in the world, can dispel the poison that has plagued me for years!"

"If it succeeds, no matter the means, we must also dig up the person who produced this pill."

The old man narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous arc, then flew away from the manor.

This person is none other than Li Fei's target this time, the Poison Battle Emperor Dugu Bo! (End of chapter)
