Pei Hao came prepared; he couldn't possibly have overlooked such an obvious place, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo said, \"Long Baoxing’s stock for today was also wiped out. This batch of goods I have was taken from Long Baoxing’s reserve vault.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lingqing raised an eyebrow and said, \"Tsk tsk, I heard that Long Baoxing’s reserve vault requires Yu Hongxi’s jade token to be opened. You certainly have quite a bit of pull.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo glanced at Yan Lingqing, wondering why it felt like there was more to her words than met the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this time, it really is thanks to President Yu Hongxi. If she hadn't nodded, this batch of detoxifying materials wouldn't have been bought back.\" Li Luo briefly recounted what had happened, especially Yu Hongxi’s inscrutable attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, a meaningful smile appeared on the corners of Jiang Qing’e’s lips. She said, \"Perhaps only you could achieve such a result. If it were me, I’m afraid that Yu Hongxi wouldn't even show her face, let alone allow goods to be taken from Long Baoxing’s reserve vault.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo was stunned: \"Is it really that real?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qing’e smiled without answering. In truth, she had met Yu Hongxi a few times, but both sides could feel a certain coldness and resistance from the other. Since they were both relatively strong-willed, it was naturally impossible for them to lower their pride and take the initiative to show goodwill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxi and Tan Tailan were not on good terms, and Jiang Qing’e admired Tan Tailan the most. Therefore, even though she knew that building a good relationship with Yu Hongxi would benefit House Luolan, she had never done so. She was as proud as a great white goose; her gait was elegant and haughty, and she had never lowered her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qing’e did not dwell on this. Her golden eyes turned to the several healers present, and she said, \"Now that the detoxifying materials have arrived, I must trouble you all to quickly develop the antidote.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please rest assured, Miss Jiang, we will definitely do our utmost to develop it. However, it is unfortunate that my teacher is not in Daxia City these days; otherwise, if he were to take action, it would not be difficult to resolve this toxic disaster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person speaking was a somewhat young-looking man. His smile was warm, and his appearance was quite refined. It was evident that under the gaze of Jiang Qing’e’s eyes, his mood was much more high-spirited and enthusiastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I will trouble you.\" Jiang Qing’e nodded lightly, her beautiful face showing no ripples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo, on the other hand, was a bit stunned, then gave a helpless smile. He remembered this healer; he seemed to be called Qin Wang. He was somewhat well-known among the healers in Daxia City, and his teacher was a top-tier healer in Daxia City—also one of the people Li Luo had failed to hire this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he had invited this person earlier, Qin Wang had been slightly cold and arrogant. Now, having just left and returned, Qin Wang was in a state of enthusiasm, as if he couldn't wait to develop the antidote immediately. This could only be said to be because Jiang Qing’e’s charm was truly too high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, in the room, many instruments for developing the antidote had already been prepared. As the various detoxifying materials were moved in one after another, the development process began in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A foul, pungent odor immediately began to emanate from the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, neither Li Luo nor Jiang Qing’e left; they kept a constant watch on the progress of the development. After all, these detoxifying materials were too important, and they had to guard against the possibility of any of these healers playing tricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo had previously crammed some knowledge of healers' methods to deal with the treatment for the young Emperor, so he could barely understand what was happening now. But if he were truly asked to go up and develop it himself, he would be completely in the dark, as he simply had no time or energy to learn the many involved techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While waiting, Li Luo suddenly looked at Jiang Qing’e and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, \"Do you think they can develop the antidote? Or rather, will the antidote they develop actually be useful?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qing’e looked at him, remained silent for a few seconds, and said, \"What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo sighed softly and said, \"I just feel a sense of unease. Pei Hao came prepared this time. If everything could be solved just by getting the detoxifying materials, it seems a bit too simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qing’e said calmly, \"There is one piece of news I didn't tell you. While you were out purchasing the materials, I also sent people to invite some top-tier healers in Daxia City, but do you know what? None of them were in Daxia City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s pupils shrank slightly. He naturally understood what Jiang Qing’e meant. It was impossible for those top-tier healers to have left Daxia City for no reason; this was inevitably being pushed by someone in the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as for who that person was, the answer was self-evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the power Pei Hao held, it would likely be too difficult to achieve this step alone. Therefore, there must be other forces supporting him from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That dog...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo cursed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the two were talking, Cai Wei suddenly hurried in and whispered to them, \"The situation of those poisoned resonance crafters is starting to get worse. The poison gas must have spread within their bodies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, the news that Xiyang House resonance crafters have been poisoned has spread throughout Daxia City. There are even rumors saying that these branch resonance crafters offended the Young House Master, and were therefore given secret-method source water laced with poison by the Young House Master...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was anger on her face. Such rumors were truly too vicious; they not only wanted to destroy Xiyang House but also wanted to splash dirty water on Li Luo that would be hard to wash off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e both frowned. The current situation was truly becoming more and more unfavorable for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But saying these things now was of no use; everything still depended on the development of the antidote.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, their gazes turned back to the busy healers. Time passed quickly in this tense atmosphere, and in the blink of an eye, an hour had gone by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e heard some excited voices from the healers. Looking over, they saw several healers gathered together. One of them was the aforementioned Qin Wang, who was holding a jade bottle containing the developed antidote.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this was not yet fully complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like refining spiritual water and light, which requires the final condensation of source water and source light, the development of an antidote has the same final step. In the healer profession, this step is called \"dotting the eyes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it simply, it is to highly condense one's own resonance power, which possesses healing effects, and integrate it into the antidote, then cause the two to fuse, maximizing the stimulation of its healing and detoxifying effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just like refining spiritual water and light, this still requires the refiner’s own resonance power to stimulate the medicinal properties. Otherwise, if someone else’s resonance power were fused in, it would lead to the entire bottle of antidote being destroyed due to resonance power conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this first bottle of antidote was refined by Qin Wang, he naturally proceeded with the \"dotting the eyes\" step without hesitation. He dropped a highly condensed point of resonance power light into the bottle. Immediately, a strange sound rang out, followed by a pungent odor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the surrounding healers showed joy at this pungent smell, because it meant that Qin Wang’s refining had indeed succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Qin is truly worthy of being Master Green Dragon’s proud student.\" These healers praised him one after another. Everyone was developing it at the same time, but only Qin Wang succeeded first, showing that he indeed had the skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the flattery of the crowd, Qin Wang could not help but feel a bit smug. He then looked at Jiang Qing’’s beautiful face and said, \"Miss Jiang, I have lived up to expectations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qing’e’s gaze lingered on him for a moment longer. She nodded lightly and said, \"Master Qin is indeed worthy of being from Master Green Dragon’s school... Since the antidote has been refined, let’s test whether it is feasible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her hand, and attendants carefully carried in a wooden box. Opening the box, they saw jars of black blood contained in crystal bottles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the toxic blood drawn from the poisoned victims. If the antidote is truly useful, it should be able to neutralize this toxic blood,\" Jiang Qing’e said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Wang took out a sample of the toxic blood, his expression becoming much more solemn. Because he also knew the tyranny of this poison, he was not certain in his heart whether the developed antidote would be effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the gaze of many tense eyes, Qin Wang opened the toxic blood and poured the antidote he had developed into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the antidote poured in, the jar of toxic blood immediately began to react. Countless emerald green light spots erupted from within, rapidly eroding and neutralizing the surrounding black blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the erosion of these emerald green light spots, the black blood began to show signs of fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s working!\" a healer exclaimed in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo, Jiang Qing’e, Cai Wei, and the others also held their breath, watching the fading black blood nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, their surprise did not last long. The emerald green light spots that were expanding throughout the toxic blood seemed to encounter some kind of terrifying power’s backlash in the next moment. In just a few breaths, the green light spots were all covered by the black toxic blood, and they all dimmed and perished one by one...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, the emerald green light spots in the black blood vanished completely. Only a bottle of black blood remained, standing quietly there, seemingly emitting a foul, fishy stench that made one’s hair stand on end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Wang’s face turned slightly pale, and the other healers also looked at this scene with ugly expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This poison was even more vicious than they had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e, standing on the steps, also gradually furrowed their brows. They looked at each other and saw the gravity in each other’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, everything was as they had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with these corresponding detoxifying materials, it was still not that easy to neutralize this poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Hao’s attack this time could be described as watertight; he would not stop until Xiyang House was destroyed...\u003C\u002Fp>",1989,"2026-06-20T03:27:23.471Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","807baa48b56fcf056ed7f9774fb422a6f866d6c25d90409f6279852c19a59c15","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-223","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-221",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
