Chapter 425: Turned to My Own Use

When Li Luo rolled up his sleeve to reveal the dark red butterfly poison spot on his arm, its wings slowly fluttering, Jiang Jiang Qinge and Yuan Qing in the room both turned pale with alarm.

Jiang Jiang Qinge even stepped forward, grabbing Li Luo's arm; her usually calm and composed beautiful face turned as cold as frost, and the anger and killing intent surging in her golden eyes seemed ready to burst forth, directly causing the Light Phasing Power on her body's surface to stir restlessly, as if about to transform into flames and rise.

"Sister Jiang Qinge, calm down!"

Li Luo quickly grasped Jiang Jiang Qinge's palm, soothing her.

Jiang Jiang Qinge's chest heaved slightly; she closed her eyes for two seconds, and when she opened them again, her gaze gradually returned to calmness, yet a bone-chilling coldness still flowed deep within those eyes.

"Young Master of the Sub-Department..."

Yuan Qing's complexion turned extremely gray at that moment; he never expected that the strange poison within Guo Ling was actually a trap, and its true purpose was aimed at Li Luo.

Obviously, Manager Pei Hao had calculated Li Luo's poison-curing abilities long ago.

He had also calculated that Li Luo would most likely attempt to cure Guo Ling of the poison.

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

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

This result made Yuan Qing feel self-blame to the extreme.

A powerful expert of the Heavenly General General rank became listless at this moment; he stood dazed in place, unable to say a word for a time, his entire mind muddled as if he had lost all reason.

"Uncle Yuan, no need to blame yourself; Manager Pei Hao has always been hiding within Great Xia City, seeking every opportunity to deal with us. Even without your arrival, he would have found other methods, 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 Luo Lan Department headquarters besides Niu Niu Biaobiao, so Li Luo still had to give him sufficient attention and care.

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

"Let's go; I will take you to find the Princess. The Royal Family possesses top-tier healers; there should be a way to resolve the strange poison within your body." Jiang Jiang Qinge took a deep breath and said decisively.

Hearing this, Li Luo shook his head instead and said, "Actually, it might not be entirely a bad thing."

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

The aura emitted by the dark red butterfly poison spot on Li Luo's arm was even enough to make an expert like Yuan Qing of the Heavenly General General rank feel wary, yet Li Luo was currently only at the Phasing Master realm; if this poison gas truly spread and exploded, how could he possibly have any chance of survival? How was this not a bad thing?

Li Luo's gaze fixed on the butterfly poison spot fluttering its wings on his arm as he said, "The power of this dual strange poison is very strong; regarding it, I am actually quite envious."

"I am wondering if it is possible to turn it to my own use."

"This level of strange poison is extremely rare; even at the Golden Dragon Treasure Hall headquarters, it would probably be hard to find. I wonder where this fellow Manager Pei Hao got it from."

Hearing this, Yuan Qing immediately frowned tightly and said in a heavy voice, "Young Master of the Sub-Department, do not act recklessly. This poison is too terrifying; it must be resolved and expelled as soon as possible. If you want to control it, you are simply playing with fire! Young Lady, please persuade the Young Master of the Sub-Department quickly!"

Jiang Jiang Qinge pressed her red lips slightly and said, "I do not quite approve of this dangerous method of yours either, but I know you act with caution, so do you feel you have a grasp of success?"

Yuan Qing opened his mouth; he did not understand how Jiang Jiang Qinge could think that Li Luo, a Phasing Master, was qualified to control such 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 we can actually try."

Yuan Qing's head swelled; this was too willful. This dual strange poison was not some harmless toy; once it was provoked to explode, it would truly mean death with no place to bury the body.

Since Li Luo had made his decision, he said no more and rose directly to leave, while Yuan Qing was ordered by him to stay here and take care of Guo Ling.

Jiang Jiang Qinge followed beside Li Luo.

"I saw this dual strange poison formed by the fusion of the 'Black Demon Worm' and the 'Blood Demon Poison Butterfly' in a poison book. This poison is extremely bizarre because it possesses the ability to devour the healing power contained within Water Phasing and Wood Phasing, so many healers are helpless against such a strange poison."

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

"To alleviate this strange poison invading the heart and directly cutting off the source of life, the poisoned person can only constantly provide the healing power contained within Water Phasing and Wood Phasing power to feed it. But this is merely quenching thirst with poison, because this strange poison will constantly grow stronger after devouring this energy. When it grows to a certain limit, it will explode; that moment will be the true time of death, when even immortals cannot save them."

Hearing this, Jiang Jiang Qinge's willow eyebrows immediately furrowed tightly as she said, "This is completely aimed at you."

The news that Li Luo possessed both Water Phasing and Wood Phasing was no longer a secret, and this dual strange poison happened to counter the dual Phasing healing power he possessed. Obviously, Manager Pei Hao had expended great effort for this.

"If this dual strange poison is truly as terrifying as you say, I think it is necessary to call out Uncle Niu Biaobiao, who is in seclusion refining the Spirit-Nourishing Ointment for you." Jiang Jiang Qinge said in a condensed voice.

Since Li Luo previously brought back enough "Emperor's Flowing Fluid," Niu Niu Biaobiao had begun seclusion to refine the "Spirit-Nourishing Ointment" for him and had not yet emerged until now.

Jiang Jiang Qinge did not want to disturb Niu Niu Biaobiao either; after all, the Spirit-Nourishing Ointment was equally extremely important to Li Luo, but if this dual strange poison could not be suppressed, she would have to bring out the knowledgeable Niu Niu Biaobiao to see if he had any methods.

"No rush."

Li Luo waved his hand; although he clearly knew this dual strange poison was extremely dangerous and terrifying, he did not show any sign of panic. Instead, he smiled and said, "Manager Pei Hao indeed prepared extremely thoroughly this time. First, he ambushed and attempted to kill Uncle Yuan, then planted the strange poison within his only disciple Guo Ling, and simultaneously used this to blackmail Uncle Yuan into leaving the Luo Lan Department. He knew that in the current situation, I would attach extreme importance to Uncle Yuan, so I would most likely personally intervene to investigate the strange poison within Guo Ling, and this created the opportunity for him to transfer the poison."

"Even my dual Phasing was calculated by him. I imagine that to obtain these two rare strange poisons, the 'Black Demon Worm' 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 cannot calculate."

Li Luo paused slightly here, and the smile on the corner of his mouth also became more intense.

He rolled up his sleeve to reveal the dark red butterfly poison spot on his arm; accompanied by a movement of his will, even Jiang Jiang Qinge could see two Phasing powers condense into a light ball, which directly shot toward the butterfly poison spot.

Facing this food delivered to its door, the butterfly poison spot wriggled and swallowed it in one bite.

Jiang Jiang Qinge's gaze fixed tightly on that butterfly poison spot. According to logic, after devouring a Water Phasing and Wood Phasing power containing healing effects, this poison spot should have expanded, but to her slight surprise, the poison spot not only did not strengthen but instead showed some vibration in that instant.

Then Jiang Jiang Qinge saw as if a wisp of fine dark red aura detached from the butterfly poison spot and then vanished.

The butterfly poison spot thus became slightly weaker.

Although the degree of weakening was not large, it was indeed reduced.

"How can this be?" Now even Jiang Jiang Qinge felt somewhat surprised and doubtful; she did not understand why this dual strange poison, after devouring Li Luo's two Phasing powers, not only did not strengthen but actually weakened a little bit.

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

However, before he could keep the suspense, a Heavy Blade silently appeared in Jiang Jiang Qinge's hand.

Li Luo was startled and quickly said, "Because within my Phasing power, I possess not only Water Phasing and Wood Phasing power."

While speaking, a ball of Water Light Phasing power condensed in his palm.

"Put your hand inside and perceive it." Li Luo smiled.

Jiang Jiang Qinge's golden eyes gazed at that ball of Phasing power; it shimmered with waves, clearly indicating it was Water Phasing power, but this Water Phasing power also gave people an unusually bright feeling.

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

She extended her slender fingers and gently poked into Li Luo's ball of Phasing light, which had no consciousness shielding it.

After a few breaths, her golden eyes could not help but suddenly shrink.

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

There can be no mistake; although that Light Phase power is exceptionally faint compared to the Water Phase power, it undeniably exists!

How could Light Phase power have appeared within Li Luo's body?!

At this moment, even Jiang Jiang Qinge, who was usually calm and composed, felt her mind filled with bewilderment.
