Chapter 2467

Zhu Yanyi was not happy. A mere demon cultivator dared to target Binglan. Naturally, she felt displeased.

When Zhu Yanyi was unhappy, she naturally wanted to torment her opponent. With a thought, she decided what poison to refine.

She snapped her fingers, and the fire intensified. Countless herbs were swallowed by the flames. Zhu Yanyi tapped the herbs in the fire. One by one, they melted into tiny drops of poison essence. She made a gesture, and the essences merged, rolling around in the fire. A strange fragrance emerged. Zhu Yanyi withdrew her hand, put away Binglan, and held a blue-black pill with intricate patterns.

"This pill looks quite nice," Zhu Yanyi said to Li Guangbi. "Do you want to take it now, or wait a bit?"

"Let's wait. Wait until Doctor Ying finishes refining her poison," Li Guangbi said. She wanted to delay as much as possible. Having suffered from Zhu Yanyi before, she did not want to take her pill right now.

Zhu Yanyi nodded indifferently. She did not rush Ying Xian at all.

About ten minutes after Zhu Yanyi finished her pill, Ying Xian completed her poison.

Ying Xian looked at Li Guangbi. "Do you want to eat mine first, or hers?"

Li Guangbi wanted to eat neither. He shook his head. "Um…"

"What 'um'? Be straightforward. It’s just eating some poison," Ying Xian said directly.

Just eating poison? Why don’t you eat it? Li Guangbi thought. But he dared not say it. He knew if he spoke up, he would suffer. So he stayed silent and said, "How about you two compete first? Whoever wins, I will eat their poison."

Zhu Yanyi gave Li Guangbi a cold look. "You came to challenge our poison skills. I was faster just now. Are you sure you still want to compete?" She sneered.

"But I am usually easygoing. I know some things are troublesome, so I dislike complexity. How about this? We draw lots."

Zhu Yanyi took out a sealed box and two colored balls. "This red ball represents me. This blue ball represents Doctor Ying. I will throw both balls into this sealed box. Then, Doctor Li will reach in and grab one. If she grabs the red one, she eats my poison first, and you cure it. If she grabs the blue one, she eats Doctor Ying’s poison first, and I cure it. How is that?"

"Fine. Let’s do it," Ying Xian said without objection. After all, he was not the one eating the poison.

Ying Xian had no problem, but Li Guangbi broke out in a cold sweat. She had hoped Ying Xian and Zhu Yanyi would fight each other. She never expected Zhu Yanyi to propose this. With this method, they would not fight, and they would both gain an advantage.

Seeing Ying Xian had no objection, Zhu Yanyi threw the two colored balls into the sealed box and placed it in front of Li Guangbi. "Pick one at random. You won’t die. At most, you will lose a layer of skin."

Zhu Yanyi spoke lightly, but to Li Guangbi, it made her sweat flow even more.

"Stop dilly-dallying. Pick quickly," Ying Xian said. His eyes were cold like a snake’s, staring at Li Guangbi.

Li Guangbi really did not want to pick, but he had to. He slowly reached out, moving slower than a crawling turtle.

Ying Xian frowned slightly. He walked over and pressed Li Guangbi’s entire hand into the sealed box. "Alright. Pick one out."

Li Guangbi trembled. He finally slowly grabbed one and pulled it out. It was a blue ball.

"That means you eat my poison first," Ying Xian said. He put the poison into Li Guangbi’s hand. "Eat it."

Eat it. Ying Xian’s tone was casual. But for Li Guangbi, it was torture. She knew if Zhu Yanyi lost, she would only suffer once. If Zhu Yanyi won, she would suffer again. Compared to that, Li Guangbi was truly afraid of Zhu Yanyi.

It was not because she worried she could not cure her. It was because she feared she might secretly harm her.

Li Guangbi wanted to delay, but Ying Xian gave him no time. Seeing his hesitation, Ying Xian frowned, picked up the poison, and stuffed it directly into Li Guangbi’s mouth.

"Alright. He has taken it. You cure him," Ying Xian said, stepping aside. "As long as you admit defeat, I will cure him."

Zhu Yanyi looked at Ying Xian, then at Li Guangbi. She smiled lightly. "Your poison is actually very easy to cure."

She took out gold needles and quickly inserted them into Li Guangbi’s corresponding acupoints.

"Gold needle acupuncture?" Ying Xian was slightly stunned. "You actually know gold needle acupuncture."

"That is very normal," Zhu Yanyi said calmly. "I am a medical cultivator. Gold needles are my tools."

Ying Xian nodded slightly. "No demon in the Demon Realm knows gold needles. It seems your medical skills are not bad."

"If my skills were bad, would you come to challenge me repeatedly?" Zhu Yanyi removed the last needle. "Alright. The poison is gone."

Li Guangbi had expected to suffer for a long time. He did not expect the poison to be cured so quickly. He was surprised.

After curing the poison, Zhu Yanyi said to Ying Xian, "You can check."

Ying Xian naturally came over to verify. He checked and showed a hint of surprise. "Indeed, the poison is cured. I did not think one could cure poison with gold needles, not just medicine."

"Poison has many directions," Zhu Yanyi said faintly. "Since you have confirmed the poison is cured, then eat my poison."

Zhu Yanyi handed the pill to Li Guangbi. "My pill is so beautiful. Eating it will not disgrace you."

The more beautiful something is, the more poisonous it is. This pill was the same. In Li Guangbi’s eyes, although the pill was beautiful, it was definitely not a good thing.

She looked at Zhu Yanyi, then at Ying Xian. She still believed that even if Zhu Yanyi could cure her, Ying Xian could also solve this poison quickly. Therefore, she did not hesitate this time. She swallowed it in one gulp.

"You are brave this time," Ouyang Tianyun said, slightly surprised. "I thought you would dawdle for a long time. Now you are so straightforward."
