After ensuring his safety and that he wouldn't be easily spied upon, Shen Wang's thoughts entered the Tai Chi Yin Yang Mirror, directly communicating with the Black Death Blade King.

"Give me a copy of the records you have on Gu and poisons."

Shen Wang spoke.

"You've taken all my things, how can I give you anything?"

Black Death Blade King was speechless and said, "By the way, how long do you plan to keep me locked up? Let me out to get some air."

"No time, I've been studying poison Gu these past few days."

Shen Wang couldn't release Black Death Blade King before getting away.

"Why? Have you encountered these things?"

Black Death Blade King guessed, "Then you really need to let me out; I'm very experienced in this area and can help."

"You can help just by staying here."

Shen Wang took out Black Death Blade King's belongings.

After he was captured, he hadn't had the time to inspect them carefully.

At the time, the situation was urgent; he just glanced over quickly and noticed that the storage pouch was quite empty, knowing that Black Death Blade King had consumed resources to regain power quickly, he didn't pay much attention.

Now asking about records on the Poison Gu Dao, hearing his response, Shen Wang estimated there might be some records among the items.

After opening it, aside from some odds and ends, he took out several booklets and three jade scrolls, being cautious of any poison on these items.

"Sigh, you're too cautious, I'm in this state, and you're still wary of me, not letting me out."

Seeing Shen Wang not speaking, Black Death Blade King was helpless, feeling no different than a prisoner.

"Isn't this what you've brought upon yourself? So, what valuable things are in your storage pouch?"

Shen Wang's gaze fell on the jade scrolls, "Which jade scroll contains the records on Poison Gu?"

"What you want is in that green jade scroll, it's a valuable thing called the Grand Poison Manual, recording information on over a hundred thousand kinds of Gu insects, poisons, and such. Ah, I got this from the Ancient Ruins along with a friend from Jade Silkworm Valley."

Black Death Blade King seemed to recall some past events, feeling a bit sentimental.

"How are the Poison Gu techniques of Jade Silkworm Valley?" Shen Wang inquired.

"Hmph, they're experts, unless you've studied the Grand Poison Manual thoroughly, don't mess with people from Jade Silkworm Valley, especially the women."

Black Death Blade King warned.

"Why emphasize the women? Are their women more formidable?"

Shen Wang probed into the situation in Jade Silkworm Valley.

"Of course, the men in Jade Silkworm Valley specialize in Medicine Dao, and the women in Poison Gu Dao, just don't mess with them. The Black Poison I once used was made with their help."

Black Death Blade King didn't continue speaking, seemingly immersed in memories.

Shen Wang took note of the situation, but didn't ask further, cautiously inspecting the jade scroll, confirming there were no hidden tricks before browsing through the contents.

The amount of information a jade scroll can store far exceeds that of books, not only with words but also with various images, more than a hundred thousand kinds of poison Gu introductions, and methods of dealing with them, making Shen Wang's head spin.

Fortunately, the Grand Poison Manual was meticulously organized like a special dictionary, so even if he couldn't finish reading it quickly, he could swiftly cross-check.

After two hours, Shen Wang had only finished reviewing a hundred types of poisonous creatures, but combined with the Poison Dao records he had read before, he considered that he built a good foundation.

Compared to professions like Artifact Refining, Talisman Making, and Arrays, which are limited to runes, materials, and such, both the Poison Dao and Medicine Dao emphasize experience.

The oddities of medicines and Gu can mean that the same poisonous creature may have different toxicities or medicinal properties in different places; different herbs can result in different poisons.

Especially Gu insects, which are artificially cultivated, often with mixed toxicities, making them even harder to resolve.

He needs to be familiar with a wide range of poisonous insects and herbs, and understand as many toxins and medicinal properties as possible to deal with unique situations.

After a while, at 1:45 PM, Silver Moon appeared at Shen Wang's door as scheduled.

Shen Wang also timed it just right to step out, and looking at Silver Moon's cold expression, he smiled, "Do you know you're very beautiful?"

"Who needs you to say it?"

Though Silver Moon remained cold, she wouldn't deny her own beauty.

"Being pretty, you should smile more, no need to look so grim."

Shen Wang said.

"You don't need to meddle; today we need to test five types of poisonous insects and find specific antidotes. You better have a solution, or you'll be the one tested with poison."

Silver Moon turned and led the way to the northeast corner of the Dragon Ship, where many Demon-Banning Guards were stationed, tightly guarding. Inside, dishes sealed various poisonous insects, over a hundred types, placed on numerous multi-layered shelves.

"Caught last night?"

Shen Wang was stunned.

"Of course, they used these poisonous insects to bite me. If not for considering researching these things, I would've killed them all already."

Silver Moon coldly snorted, clearly disliking these creatures.

"Think long-term."

Shen Wang remarked, realizing this woman had thought things through comprehensively, and he needed to be careful.

While Silver Moon was speaking, Shen Wang quickly scanned the room filled with Gu insects, recognizing some and needing to quickly consult the Grand Poison Manual for others.

"Don't flatter me. Can you deal with these things?"

Silver Moon asked.

"Princess Yin Yue, how could he possibly handle it? He probably can't even recognize these poisonous creatures."

An ill-timed voice emerged from outside the door; Earth Medicine, clad in dirt-yellow clothes, came forward with a haughty expression, sneering disdainfully at Shen Wang.

Shen Wang turned back for a glance. This person possessed Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivation, with some expertise in the Poison Dao. At this moment, he naturally came over to help understand the Gu poison of Jade Silkworm Valley, serving as the Sixth Prince's informant.

This guy also harbored great malice towards him. It seemed the Four Medicines of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow united to treat him as an enemy.

For a moment, he couldn't comprehend why this happened.

He wasn't controlled by the Sixth Prince willingly, nor did he snatch anyone's resources, much less had any conflicts with them.

Was it that these guys were overly arrogant, or were they jealous of his good looks?

Shen Wang was puzzled in his heart; ultimately, he could only assume these lackeys were conceited, seeing him as an eyesore, thus viewing everything with prejudice.

"I'm in charge of this matter now, and he's here because I called him. Why are you meddling?"

Yin Yue responded coldly.

Earth Medicine didn't expect Yin Yue to defend Shen Wang like this, awkwardly saying, "It's not that I look down on him; it's just that he seems utterly clueless."

"Interesting, I haven't even showed my skills, yet you claim I don't understand. You must be quite impressive; then you take over, and I'll watch from the side."

Shen Wang chuckled, genuinely uninterested in jumping right in—after all, he rarely dealt with these poisonous creatures before.

"Having self-awareness is good."

Earth Medicine thought Shen Wang was scared, lacking capability, and volunteered eagerly, "Princess Yin Yue, I'm here to help as per His Highness's instructions, hoping to assist you."

"This concerns everyone, not just me. Since you're confident, you should be the one to study it first. I need to promptly prepare various antidotes to distribute to our brothers for preparation."

Yin Yue did not refuse; she also believed Shen Wang's level might not compare to Earth Medicine's.

"I'll do my best to not disappoint."

Earth Medicine smiled confidently, casting a mocking glance at Shen Wang before stepping over and pointing at a group of centipedes, "These are Red-tailed Centipedes; their venom is moderate. The Green-headed Snake beside them can eat it, thus it's much more venomous. However, these types of poisonous creatures can be countered with common antitoxic pills."

Finishing his explanation, he deliberately said to Shen Wang, "Kid, did you get that? It's to your good fortune to hear me say these words here."

"You should talk more about the poisonous creatures."

Shen Wang maintained a blank expression. The Four Medicines of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow had clearly followed the Sixth Prince too long, assuming themselves to be palace aristocrats, and were far too arrogant.

Yin Yue also displeased, "I didn't ask you to speak nonsense. Someone, bring in the mice to prove your method works on spot."

Footsteps echoed as a Demon-Banning Guard entered with a cage of mice.

Perhaps sensing their fate, the mice in the cage seemed panicked, letting out urgent squeaks.

The Demon-Banning Guard handed a mouse to Earth Medicine.

"Test every kind of poisonous creature once. I don't want my subordinates dying from any of them."

Yin Yue stated her request, "After finding antidotes for single venoms, begin testing multiple venoms."

Earth Medicine's eyelids twitched on hearing it, "That would take a very long time."

"There are plenty of mice, and other living things too; I'll provide whatever you need as much as possible."

Yin Yue said coldly, "It'd be best if you can uncover all the Gu poison from Jade Silkworm Valley."

"Understood, Princess Yin Yue."

Earth Medicine replied bitterly; this was indeed a difficult task.

"Someone, bring out some of our common antitoxic pills. Use the existing remedies first; if none work later, you must create new ones based on the situation."

Yin Yue set forth even higher requirements,

Earth Medicine was startled, unexpectedly faced with such strict demands, completely challenging his limits.

Considering the vast number of poisonous creatures, who could guarantee to neutralize all? Not to mention all sorts of bizarre mixed poisons.

Shen Wang listened in amusement; this guy ran over gleefully, conveniently taking on the hard labor himself.

If it were him, he'd have no clue what to do for a while.

"Why are you laughing? Come over and catch mice for me!"

Earth Medicine growled in embarrassment and anger.

"Oh dear, I've got a bit of a stomachache. You do it first; I'll watch from the side."

Shen Wang waved his hand, clutching his stomach while retreating to the side, hiding behind Yin Yue.

Earth Medicine's face darkened, just as he intended to scold, he saw Yin Yue's impatient look and swallowed his words. He could only toss the mouse into a basin, allowing it to be poisoned.

Unsure if the mouse's life force was weak or if the snake's poison was too intense, after being bitten, within just a few breaths, the mouse that had been struggling and squealing earlier became listless.

Earth Medicine hurriedly isolated the snake, feeding the antidote to the mouse, but it still died.

Yin Yue's face was grim, "Was everything you said just nonsense?"

"Princess Yin Yue, perhaps this medicine acted too slowly."

Cold sweat broke out on Earth Medicine's forehead; feeling embarrassed, he grabbed another mouse, administering the antidote immediately after it was bitten, managing to keep it alive, though it remained barely hanging on.

"This stuff is truly poisonous."

Shen Wang became a bit more earnest.

"These poisonous creatures were specially cultivated by the Poison Masters of Jade Silkworm Valley, more venomous than those outside."

Yin Yue looked at Earth Medicine, "Don't think you can solve this just because you know a bit about toxicology; if it were that simple, we wouldn't place such importance on it."
