Chapter 393: Chapter 28: Five Catties Per Person

Citizen Registration Office, All-Knowing stretched lazily, unable to help twisting his neck.

Busy all day, although tired, but thinking about the number of Destiny Plates earned, he couldn’t help but smile.

“Newcomers are so easy to deceive, a few words can fool them into paying in a hurry…”

Casually taking out a Destiny Plate and tossing it a few times, he was about to go back to rest when he remembered something and couldn’t help but look towards a small door not far away.

“What? You also want to try the poison?”

At this moment, a servant approached him.

“Of course not, thinking about the two fools earlier, I was supposed to introduce them to various inside information. Instead, to save money, they cleverly chose to test the poison… It’s been three or four timings, they’re probably already poisoned to death and turned into corpses.”

All-Knowing chuckled softly.

As the local snake who had always been here, he knew the situation of testing poison very clearly. If the death rate for suppressing bandits is seventy percent, then this one can almost reach ninety percent!

It’s not that the medicines designed by the physicians and Alchemy Masters have many problems, but the ones sent for experiments are mostly defective products. To enhance effectiveness, the dosage is intentionally increased, either one attribute is particularly prominent, or one type of strength is extremely extreme. Ordinary cultivators simply cannot withstand the neutralization and balance of various substances.

Don’t talk about taking ten sets, maybe they can’t even last through two sets without being poisoned on the spot.

The cultivation of the two individuals just now wasn’t too high, and they were new without knowing the rules. Since they entered, they haven’t come out. Without guessing, the outcome is known. Even if they weren’t poisoned to death, it’s almost the same.

“These people, in their previous places, were considered geniuses, each somewhat arrogant, little did they know, those unranked talents, in Tianli City, count for nothing…”

The servant laughed, his words hadn’t finished when suddenly the room door creaked open and a figure hurried out.

“Hmm? Could it be that those two guys didn’t die?”

All-Knowing was stunned, he took one glance, recognized it immediately, and hurriedly stepped forward bowing deeply.

“Lord Bian…”

It was none other than the Alchemy Master in charge of testing the poison, Bian Zhongwen.

“It’s you!”

Bian Zhongwen nodded satisfactorily: “The two testers you recommended this time are very good, go to the Medicine Sect to receive your reward later!”

Saying so, he hurried away.

“Good?”

All-Knowing was stunned. Hurriedly catching up: “Does Lord Bian mean by…that 25 or 26-year-old young man from out of town, and an elderly man? They… didn’t die?”

“Die? How is that possible! Their resistance to poison is very good, they finished testing the medicinal products I brought, now I need to rush back to the sect to get more medicine!”

Bian Zhongwen waved his hand.

“All the medicine? Finished testing?”

All-Knowing was stupefied.

These two words are understandable, but putting them together, why does it feel so obscure?

“Does the lord mean…they’ve taken more than ten sets?” The servant on the side also couldn’t believe it.

This lord’s character, they, the informer servants, knew it very clearly. Normally, to avoid giving Merit Points, the ninth and tenth medicine are usually deadly poisons.

All the medicine is finished… Does that mean, they have taken more than ten sets and have not been poisoned to death? When did this guy become so generous?

“Hmm…”

Bian Zhongwen nodded and continued forward.

“That’s not right…”

All-Knowing couldn’t hold back any longer, curiously asking: “I remember the lord has a medicine called Earth Nether Yellow. Once taken, it’s basically impossible to last more than ten seconds… Did you not give it to them?”

Earth Nether Yellow is a medicine refined using Earth Nether Grass.

Earth Nether Grass was discovered in an underground chamber half a year ago, abundant in spiritual energy, each plant over a thousand years old and very numerous. Initially, it was thought it could be made into medicine and sold at shocking prices. However, it was found no matter with which other medicinal herbs it was mixed, it produced intense poison, that caused fatal harm to those who ingested it.

In the last half year, thousands of medicines have been created using Earth Nether Grass as the main ingredient, and tens of thousands of cultivators have been poisoned to death… Normally, this lord, if the other party doesn’t die by the ninth or tenth set of medicine, would give this kind of drug. Could it be that this time he didn’t provide it?

“They were given….”

Bian Zhongwen recalled the earlier incident, still seemingly in disbelief to this moment.

“Then… they didn’t eat?” All-Knowing was puzzled.

As long as they consumed it, they would almost certainly die. Over the past half year, tens of thousands of people have been experimented upon, with no exceptions. Could these two individuals be an exception?

“Not only did they eat…”

Bian Zhongwen remarked oddly: “But each also consumed five catties!”

“???”

All-Knowing and the servant stood there stunned, as if petrified.

Five, five catties?

Eating five catties of poison?

Even pigs aren’t fed like this!

“It’s true…”

Thinking back to just now, Bian Zhongwen was full of horror.

Just as he guessed, when they reached the ninth batch, he didn’t hesitate much and took out the medicine prepared from Earth Nether Grass.

Instead of dying after eating it, they asked for more.

Reluctantly giving the Merit Points, he had no choice but to continue bringing out the same deadly medicine.

He thought, even if these two guys had good resistance, continuing to take a few sets should take their toll. However, as he brought out more and more medicine, they started to “happily” compete for it.

You took a dose, I took a bottle, you took a bottle, I took half a catty, you took half a catty, I snatched and ate…

Neither yielding to the other, and in just a short while, they had eaten all the medicine he brought, not a bit left…

He thought after eating so much, even if they didn’t die from poisoning, their spirits should be down. Surprisingly, they became even more spirited…

Watching this scene, he was completely dumbfounded.

Seen those with good drug resistance before, but never seen anyone treat poison as food!

Had no idea what was up with these two individuals, so he left the room, said he was going back to the sect to get medicine, but he was actually planning to report personally…

Had to personally, would not work otherwise, if he sent someone else, he was afraid those Elders might not believe it…

One person eating five catties of poison and still wanting more… Incredible!

“Alright, keep this to yourselves, I’ll be back soon…”

If it wasn’t for these two often bringing people over, he might not have bothered to explain.

“Yes!”

All-Knowing and the servant simultaneously bowed, watching Bian Zhongwen leave, and after he was far, they exchanged glances, their faces involuntarily trembling.

No wonder that guy wouldn’t listen to persuasion and insisted on trying the medicine. After all this time, not only were they not seeking death, but they were actually trying to earn Merit Points…

No wonder he didn’t pay them; if he had the skill himself, he would definitely not spend a penny!
