Chapter 425: Turning It to My Own Use

When Li Luo pulled up his sleeve to reveal the dark red butterfly-shaped poison mark slowly flapping its wings on his arm, Jiang Qing and Yuan Qing in the room both changed color.

Jiang Qing stepped forward, grabbed Li Luo's arm, and her usually calm and composed pretty face turned as cold as frost. The anger and killing intent surging in her golden eyes were almost about to erupt, causing the Light Resonance Power on her body to stir as if it were about to rise like flames.

"Sister Qing'e, calm down!"

Li Luo hurriedly grasped Jiang Qing's palm and soothed her.

Jiang Qing's chest heaved slightly, and she closed her eyes for two seconds. When she opened them again, her gaze gradually returned to calm, but a bone-chilling coldness still flowed in the depths of her eyes.

"Young Manor Master..."

Yuan Qing's expression on the side turned extremely ashen at this moment. He never imagined that the strange poison within Guo Ling was actually a trap, and its true purpose was aimed at Li Luo.

Clearly, Pei Hao had long since calculated Li Luo's detoxification ability.

He had also calculated that there was a high probability Li Luo would attempt to detoxify Guo Ling.

And now, Pei Hao's poisonous scheme had succeeded.

The strange poison within Guo Ling not only became more vicious, but it had also transferred into Li Luo's body.

This result made Yuan Qing feel guilty to the extreme.

A powerhouse at the Heavenly Dipper General stage became listless at this moment. He stood there blankly, unable to say a word for a time, his whole person as dazed as if he had lost all his reason.

"Uncle Yuan, there is no need to blame yourself. Pei Hao has been hiding in Xia City, looking for every opportunity to deal with us. Even without your arrival, he likely would have had other ways, so the result would be the same," Li Luo noticed Yuan Qing's listlessness and immediately smiled.

Yuan Qing was, after all, the strongest combat power in the current Luolan Manor headquarters besides Niu Biaobiao, so Li Luo still had to give him enough importance and care.

Facing Li Luo's comfort, Yuan Qing revealed a bitter smile.

"Let's go, I will take you to find the Eldest Princess. The royal family possesses top-tier healers; they should have a way to neutralize the strange poison in your body," Jiang Qing took a deep breath and said decisively.

Upon hearing this, Li Luo shook his head and said, "Actually, it might not necessarily be a bad thing."

Jiang Qing, Yuan Qing, and Cai Wei all looked over in astonishment.

The aura emitted by the dark red butterfly poison mark on Li Luo's arm made even a powerhouse like Yuan Qing at the Heavenly Dipper General stage feel wary, and Li Luo was still only at the Resonance Master stage. If he really let this poison gas spread and erupt, how could he still have a way to survive? How was this not a bad thing?

Li Luo stared at the butterfly poison mark flapping its wings on his arm and said, "This dual strange poison is very powerful. As for it, I am actually quite covetous."

"I am thinking, is it possible to make it my own?"

"This level of strange poison is extremely rare. Even at the Golden Dragon Treasury headquarters, it is probably very hard to find. I don't know where this guy Pei Hao got it from."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qing immediately frowned and said in a deep voice, "Young Manor Master, don't mess around. This kind of poison is too terrifying; it must be neutralized and expelled as soon as possible. If you want to control it, you are simply playing with fire! Young Lady, hurry and persuade the Young Manor Master!"

Jiang Qing pursed her red lips and said, "I don't really approve of this dangerous method of yours either, but I know you have a sense of proportion in what you do, so do you feel you have the confidence to succeed?"

Yuan Qing opened his mouth; he did not understand how Jiang Qing could think that Li Luo, a mere Resonance Master, was qualified to control such a terrifying strange poison. The trust between these two was too blind.

However, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Luo's mouth as he said, "I think it is actually worth a try."

Yuan Qing's head was spinning. This was too willful. This dual strange poison was not some harmless toy. Once it was triggered to erupt, it would truly be a death without a burial place.

Since Li Luo had made his decision, he did not say anything more and rose to leave directly. Yuan Qing was instructed by him to stay behind to take care of Guo Ling.

Jiang Qing followed by Li Luo's side.

"I have seen this dual strange poison, formed by the fusion of the 'Black Demon Insect' and the 'Blood Demon Poison Butterfly', in a book on poisons. This poison is extremely strange because they possess the ability to devour the healing power contained within Water Resonance and Wood Resonance, so many healers are helpless against this kind of exotic poison."

Walking in the corridor, Li Luo was also explaining the information about the strange poison in his body to Jiang Qing.

"To alleviate this exotic poison from invading the heart and directly cutting off life, the poisoned person can only continuously provide the healing power contained in Water Resonance and Wood Resonance to feed it. But this is just drinking poison to quench thirst, because this exotic poison will continuously grow after devouring this energy. When it grows to a certain limit, it will erupt, and that is the true moment of death, which even gods cannot save."

Listening to this, Jiang Qing's willow eyebrows immediately furrowed, and she said, "This is completely aimed at you."

The news that Li Luo possessed both Water Resonance and Wood Resonance was no longer a secret, and right now, this dual strange poison happened to restrain the dual-resonance healing power he possessed. Clearly, Pei Hao had exhausted his efforts for this.

"If this dual strange poison is truly as terrifying as you say, I think it is necessary to invite Uncle Biao out from his seclusion where he is refining the Spirit-Replenishing Paste for you," Jiang Qing said in a solemn voice.

Ever since Li Luo brought back enough "Imperial Flowing Nectar" previously, Niu Biaobiao had begun his seclusion to refine the "Spirit-Replenishing Paste" for him, and he had not come out until now.

Jiang Qing did not want to disturb Niu Biaobiao, as the Spirit-Replenishing Paste was also extremely important to Li Luo. But if this dual strange poison could not be contained, she would have no choice but to invite the knowledgeable Niu Biaobiao out to see if he had any methods.

"No rush."

Li Luo waved his hand. Although he knew this dual strange poison was extremely dangerous and terrifying, he did not show any panic. Instead, he smiled and said, "Pei Hao was indeed fully prepared this time. First, he ambushed Uncle Yuan, then planted the strange poison in the body of his only disciple, Guo Ling, while also using this to threaten Uncle Yuan to leave Luolan Manor. He knew that in the current situation, I would value Uncle Yuan highly, so there was a high probability that I would personally investigate the strange poison in Guo Ling's body, and this created the opportunity for him to transfer the strange poison."

"Even my dual resonance was calculated by him. Presumably, to obtain these two rare strange poisons, the 'Black Demon Insect' and the 'Blood Demon Poison Butterfly', he paid a considerable price."

"Actually, everything was within his expectations, but unfortunately... there are some things he still couldn't calculate."

When Li Luo said this, he paused slightly, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became richer.

He lifted his sleeve to reveal the dark red butterfly poison mark on his arm. Following a thought, even Jiang Qing could see two strands of Resonance Power condense into a ball of light, which was cast directly toward the butterfly poison mark.

Facing this delivered meal, the butterfly poison mark squirmed and swallowed it in one gulp.

Jiang Qing's gaze was fixed tightly on that butterfly poison mark. Logically speaking, after devouring a strand of Water Resonance and Wood Resonance power containing healing effects, this poison mark should have expanded. But to her surprise, the poison mark not only did not strengthen, but it even showed some tremors at this instant.

Then Jiang Qing saw that a thin wisp of dark red aura seemed to detach from the butterfly poison mark and then dissipate.

The butterfly poison mark became a fraction weaker because of this.

Although the degree of weakness was not large, it had indeed diminished.

"How can this be?" Even Jiang Qing felt a bit suspicious now. She did not understand why this dual strange poison, after devouring Li Luo's two strands of Resonance Power, not only did not strengthen but actually weakened a little.

Looking at Jiang Qing, who rarely showed this expression, Li Luo could not help but feel a small sense of accomplishment.

However, before he could keep her in suspense, a heavy sword had already silently appeared in Jiang Qing's hand.

Li Luo was startled and hurriedly said, "Because my Resonance Power does not just contain the power of Water Resonance and Wood Resonance."

As he spoke, a mass of Water-Light Resonance Power condensed in his palm.

"Reach your hand in and sense it," Li Luo smiled.

Jiang Qing's golden eyes stared at that mass of Resonance Power. It was shimmering, and one could tell at a glance that it was Water Resonance power. However, this strand of Water Resonance power gave one an exceptionally bright feeling.

Actually, she had noticed before that Li Luo's Water Resonance power seemed to be purer and brighter than others.

She extended her slender finger and gently poked into the mass of Resonance Power that Li Luo had not shielded with any consciousness.

A few breaths later, her golden eyes could not help but shrink suddenly.

Because within it, she sensed an extremely familiar power. That was... Light Resonance Power?!

There could be no mistake. Although that strand of Light Resonance Power was exceptionally weak compared to the Water Resonance power, it was definitely there!

How could Light Resonance Power appear in Li Luo's body?!

At this moment, even the usually calm and composed Jiang Qing felt her mind filled with bewilderment.
