"How could it be unrelated?!"
Qin Shi grabbed Zi Lingsha's wrist and raised his voice by a few decibels.
He had been filled with guilt ever since that incident in the God Domain Mausoleum.
When Zi Lingsha saw the worry in Qin Shi's eyes, her beautiful eyes wavered and a hint of gentleness flashed across them. However, she immediately swung her snow-white hair and said indifferently to Qin Shi, "It really has nothing to do with you. Do you think those trash from the Wind Region could have injured me so badly?"
Qin Shi was taken aback. He was aware of Zi Lingsha's abilities. Although she wasn't outstanding in terms of cultivation, her superb poison skills were enough to kill a Domain Realm expert. Thinking about it this way, it was indeed difficult for the disciples of the Wind Region to injure Zi Lingsha. Even if Kong Luan was involved, it would still be difficult.
After all, the latter had once blocked the entire Guo family with her own strength. At that time, the Guo family's Patriarch had already reached the consummate Domain Realm.
"Little fellow, don't feel too guilty. This little girl is right. Her snow-white hair isn't caused by her injuries." At this moment, the voice of the Nefarious Devil sounded.
"It's not caused by her injuries?"
"Yes. Just now, I took a brief look inside her body. This little girl's physique is very interesting. There is not a single part of her body that isn't filled with deadly poisons. There are thousands of different kinds of deadly poisons. Any one of those poisons is enough to kill a Domain Realm expert. However, there are thousands of poisons gathered in this little girl's body and she is still safe and sound. Interesting, interesting!"
"Thousands of deadly poisons … Hiss!"
Qin Shi sucked in a breath of cold air. He had never heard Zi Lingsha mention this before. He said, "That's not right. I remember that Zi Lingsha should have a physique that is immune to a hundred poisons. How can there be over a thousand types of poisons in her body?"
"The so-called immune to hundreds of poisons is only because her body has been completely occupied by the deadly poisons. In this world, I'm afraid there is no poison more vicious than all the poisons in her body." The Nefarious Devil shook his head in amusement.
"You mean, fight poison with poison?"
Qin Shi came to a sudden realization. Immediately, he recalled that Kong Hyun-hui had told him before that the Refinement Realm was akin to purgatory, a place where the suffering of the heavens and earth converged, a place filled with sorrow. Within the Refinement Realm, the status of a disciple wasn't determined by their cultivation, but by the suffering of the world they endured.
From the looks of it, everything seemed to make sense.
"Could it be that she also became the Refinement Domain Saintess because of this?"
Suddenly, Qin Shi's heart ached for the girl in front of him. Originally, she was only in her early twenties. She should be like many other girls, enjoying the most beautiful years in the world and being God's favorite. But she had to bear such inhuman pain.
"Is there no way to change it?" Qin Shi asked.
The Nefarious Devil pondered for a moment, then shook its head. "It's hard to say. There's a very obscure power within her body that seems to be deliberately hiding something. Even I am unable to see through it. And it's precisely that power that has gathered all these poisons. If we want to change her physique, we must first find the source of that power."
Hearing this, Qin Shi couldn't help but feel sad. If even the Nefarious Devil couldn't do anything, then no one in this world would be able to change her body.
"However, don't be anxious. Give me some time, I might be able to find a way." The Nefarious Devil saw through Qin Shi's thoughts and comforted him.
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes. He pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, that's the only thing we can do now."
"Oh right, kid, the Shattered Snow Azalea that the girl asked you to find for her should be used to suppress the thousands of poisons in her body."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, although the Shattered Snow Azalea is a ninth-grade spiritual herb and is an extremely rare species, it doesn't possess any spiritual energy. The reason why it's so precious is because it has a unique ability."
"What ability?"
"Ice Seal!"
"Ice Seal?"
"Yes. Once an ordinary person consumes the Shattered Snow Azalea, the azalea flower will quickly grow by relying on the blood essence and take root in the dantian. The Shattered Snow Azalea is extremely cold and can even freeze spiritual power. I think this little girl wants the Shattered Snow Azalea to freeze the thousands of poisons in her body."
"I see!"
Qin Shi suddenly understood. He used to think that Zi Lingsha wanted the Shattered Snow Azalea to make poisons or to increase her cultivation. He never thought that it would be used for healing.
His black eyes became very determined. He looked up at the poor woman and said, "Give me some more time. I will definitely get the Shattered Snow Azalea for you!"
"Hmm?"
Zi Lingsha was a little surprised. Then she couldn't help but smile. She nodded and said, "Yes, I always believe you."
After that, the two of them didn't talk much about this topic. They chose to avoid it as much as possible. However, in their hearts, different emotions were stirred up.
"It seems that I have to go to the Chaotic Lands as soon as possible."
Qin Shi thought in his heart. But suddenly, because his mind was in a mess, the poison on his arm surged. The disgusting curse imprint was like a poisonous snake that fiercely attacked Qin Shi's heart meridian.
Qin Shi's face changed. He spat out a mouthful of blood!
Pfft!
The blood sprayed on Zi Lingsha's body. Her delicate body trembled. She immediately rushed forward and grabbed Qin Shi's wrist. When she felt the chaos in Qin Shi's body, her beautiful eyes flashed with coldness. "Are you poisoned?"
What happened just now was too sudden. Qin Shi was very weak. With Zi Lingsha's support, he could barely support his body.
He didn't want to tell Zi Lingsha that he was poisoned. However, it was impossible to hide it now. He had no choice but to nod helplessly.
After getting the confirmation, Zi Lingsha's face turned serious. She quickly waved her hand in the air. A stream of purple spiritual energy entered Qin Shi's mouth and nose.
But after a while, bang!
There was a loud sound. Zi Lingsha's hand trembled. Her purple spiritual energy was counterattacked. She couldn't help but take a few steps back. She said in surprise, "What an evil poison. What is going on?"
"Of course.
You should ask your precious Hall Leader. This is all his doing! "Haoyue snorted disdainfully.
Qin Shi stared at Haoyue. "Don't talk nonsense!"
"How am I talking nonsense? Isn't this all because of him?" Haoyue stuck out her chest.
"Hmm?"
Zi Lingsha understood everything when she saw Haoyue's agitated expression. She immediately glanced at the young man from the Poison Alliance. "You're the one who poisoned him?"
The young man shivered subconsciously. The complacent look on his face was nowhere to be seen. It was replaced by cowardice.
In front of Ziling Sha, he hastily said with a face full of fear: "Replying, replying to Alliance Leader, it was, it was me, but, but, it was him who first injured nine of my alliance's disciples on the Slaughtering Platform, I was also forced to do this!"
However, Zi Lingsha didn't listen to the young man's explanation. She stretched out her hand. "Give me the antidote!"
The disciple was stunned. He was instantly put in a difficult position. "I … I don't have the antidote."
Bang!
Zi Lingsha's jade-like hand suddenly clenched, an extremely strong suction force instantly caught the youth in her hand. Her voice was so cold that it almost froze the air, she said: "Give me the antidote, don't make me say it again!"
Zi Lingsha's words were filled with murderous intent. The disciples had no doubt that if the young man did not hand over the antidote, he would lose his life in the next second.
The young man panicked. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of Zi Lingsha. He felt extremely regretful. If he had known about Qin Shi's identity, he would not have dared to oppose Qin Shi even if he was given ten guts.
But now, it was too late to say anything. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he said with a panicked expression, "Le- Alliance Leader, I didn't lie to you. I'm telling the truth. I really don't have the antidote for this poison."
"You're courting death!"
Zi Lingsha once again revealed that chilling coldness. The fingernails on her jade-like hands suddenly turned black and purple. Thick poisonous gas lingered around her fingertips. In the end, it materialized into ten sharp blades. She rushed towards the young man and wanted to stab him.
Seeing this scene, the entire audience was shocked, especially Qin Shi and Haoyue. The two of them had a good understanding of her. The Flaming Scarlet Heavenly Poison Woman had killed countless people. In her eyes, life was no different from grass. Since she said that she wanted this youth to die, she would really kill him. She wouldn't care if this was the conclusion of the Divine Realm or not.
However, Qin Shi could see the real fear and panic in the young man's eyes. It couldn't be faked. He quickly stretched out his hand and stopped Zi Lingsha. He said, "He's not lying. Don't make things difficult for him."
"Don't try to persuade me. It's impossible. As a poison master, it's impossible that I don't have the antidote for my own poison." Zi Lingsha shook her head at Qin Shi.
"He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-
"It's not your poison?"
Ziling Sha frowned slightly. Only then did her emotions calm down quite a bit. If the poison did not come from the hands of the young man, it would be excusable. Moreover, thinking about it carefully, she more or less understood the cultivation of the young man in the way of poison. Just now, the poison in Qin Shi's body was something that even she could not resist. Such a strong poison indeed did not seem to come from his hands.
Therefore, she asked the young man, "If it's not your poison, where did it come from?"
It was a matter of life and death. The young man didn't dare to talk nonsense. He quickly bowed his head and said obediently, "P-Alliance leader, this poison was given to me by a man in black three years ago when I was out on a mission."
"A man in black gave it to you?" Zi Lingsha's face darkened. She said coldly, "Why did he give you this poison?"
"I don't know. He told me two things at that time."
"What are they?"
"One, he told me to promise him that if he finds me one day in the future and asks for my help, I must promise him unconditionally."
