Longevity with My Offspring

Chapter 210: Raising Gu (Part 2)


Shen Wang played coy: "Why don't you go tie up that Molan and just demand the antidote or formula, that would be faster."

"If I could do that, I would have done it already. She's now Sixth Prince's fiancée, and before she completely marries into the Royal Family, there's no way to forcibly take it."

Silver Moon revealed a piece of news Shen Wang didn't know.

Shen Wang was surprised: "So it's a political marriage, then why don't you just wait until after the marriage to take the antidote directly."

"First, she's not the Valley Master, she may not even have the best antidote or formula, and second, who knows if this marriage is a scheme to lull us?"

Silver Moon glanced at Shen Wang: "Just like you, now controlled by Sixth Prince; would you truly be loyal?"

"Cough cough, a servant who doesn't wish to turn the tables isn't a good servant."

Shen Wang didn't hide his desire not to be a servant.

"And become the master? Just keep dreaming."

Silver Moon didn't believe Shen Wang could overturn his situation; she knew Liu's methods well, not something Shen Wang, with his Foundation Establishment, could escape.

"There has to be some hope, if successful in the future, maybe..."

After these words, he stared directly at Silver Moon.

"I told you not to flirt with me, aren't you listening?"

Silver Moon slapped at Shen Wang.

The latter dodged, feeling frustrated: "I didn't!"

"Even a glance counts!"

Silver Moon huffed, didn't chase after Shen Wang, but walked toward the door: "No matter what you say, within a month, I need the best antidote."

Shen Wang watched Silver Moon leave, exhaled: "This woman is really hard to deal with."

"Brother, you're amazing, none of us dares to speak to her like that."

A Commander of the Demon-Banning Guard couldn't help but thumb up to Shen Wang.

"Thanks, also please let me see all sorts of materials from this period."

Shen Wang didn't gossip about Silver Moon behind her back, instead, he started researching the records.

He discovered various results from Earth Medicine research during this period, already analyzed and organized, and from the poison testing, summarized the suitable herbs for antidote making.

The current difficulty is how to combine these herbs to create an all-around antidote.

In this aspect, Shen Wang isn't necessarily more skilled than Earth Medicine, as his alchemy experience relied on system grinding, even though he is at Grandmaster level now, he still has no clue for the moment.

Shen Wang studied for a day, even got poison insects and animals to test, but made no progress.

The next day, Shen Wang found the first batch of surviving poisonous creatures recovering a lot after the slaughter, and then he found that their poison became more potent.

The most worrying thing for him was that the poison changed, the antidote that worked before started to be ineffective.

Shen Wang was troubled, if the poison insects continue to evolve daily, with changing toxins, he can't keep up with the changes.

"Searching for antidote like this isn't effective, the approach is wrong."

Shen Wang pondered for a long time, starting to suspect if the initial thought was flawed.

Silver Moon's method was a dumb one, testing various poison characteristics to find antidote, creating a universal antidote through commonality.

Now these characteristics are changing, he must find more advanced commonality, rather than the simplest toxicity.

Shen Wang began to study the Grand Poison Manual earnestly, observing its division of poisons.

Here, poisons were separated by Yin Yang Five Elements, Yin Yang governing the Five Elements, categorizing into ten types, namely Yin Five Elements and Yang Five Elements.

If using the highest level of categorization, which is Yin Yang transformation, then there are two types of antidote, theoretically able to deal with all poisons.

"This should be it, Jade Silkworm Valley secretly raising Gu, surely it's easy to get poisoned, it's impossible to prepare dozens or hundreds of antidotes to cope."

Shen Wang confirmed a more likely path to finding antidote through Grand Poison Manual's classification, which should also be the method of Jade Silkworm Valley's antidote making.

With this, he classified various poisonous creatures by Yin Yang Five Elements, and categorized antidotes by Yin Yang Five Elements too.

He astonishingly discovered there's a conflict between them.

For example, a Yin Fire type toxin must have Yang - Water herbs in the antidote, a Yang Metal type toxin's antidote must have Yin Fire herbs.

Previous poison testing, while not based on this principle, through trials had picked out the most suitable antidote, matching the Yin Yang Five Elements conflict.

Shen Wang suddenly became clear, originally thought only cultivation, magical combat, and arrays need to consider Yin Yang Five Elements; unexpectedly, in Poison Dao's aspect too.

So to say, all things in this world are inseparable from Yin Yang Five Elements change, no wonder it's said lonely Yin doesn't thrive, lonely Yang doesn't grow.

Shen Wang understood it, immediately deducing Earth Medicine's level was just like that, failing even to see through Yin Yang Five Elements, what a joke.

Suddenly he gained confidence, began adjusting antidote based on this principle, finally making progress.

Returning to the courtyard, he started brewing Prenatal Care Medicine for eight women, continuing to grind alchemy experience, striving to reach Medicine King level, combining his learned and comprehended Poison Dao experience, hoping to develop the ultimate antidote.

If worse comes to worst, he could reduce the number of antidotes to five types or two types, targeting specific responses.

Two more days passed, when the poison insects mostly recovered, Shen Wang divided the surviving poisonous creatures into fifteen parts, placing them in basins.

Sure enough, under the threat of Five-Colored Spider, these poisonous creatures began slaughtering again, ultimately precisely twelve survived, three basins saw all poisonous creatures die.

Shen Wang noticed that among the poisonous creatures, corresponding ones appeared according to Yin Yang Five Elements, such as Yang attribute and Water attribute snakes, Yin attribute and Gold attribute lizards.

Each type of poisonous creature has a prominent attribute, and the Five-Colored Spider, which has become Gu King, possesses multiple attributes, therefore its poison is most fierce.

He estimated that continuing this, the poisonous insects will also increase attributes, more attributes mean resisting a wider variety of toxins, naturally becoming stronger.

Shen Wang suddenly realized his Five Elements Spiritual Essence is somewhat like these Gu Kings, not afraid of common poisonous insects, most can be suppressed.

Two days later, Silver Moon came to check, found Shen Wang reduced the antidote types to five, surprised: "Didn't expect you had some skills."

"Of course, daring to show interest in you, how can I manage without some skills?"

Shen Wang chuckled lightly, actually feeling quite accomplished, studying these poisonous creatures also pushed his understanding in Yin Yang Five Elements further.

"Smart talker, you're a person who isn't easily praised."

Silver Moon snorted coldly: "Are you confident to handle this Gu King's poison?"

"Of course."

Shen Wang gave a confident smile, he already understood the Five-Colored Spider's toxicity, able to create a targeted antidote, though not resolving all toxins, most here can be addressed.

"Then speed up a bit, I need the best antidote quickly."

Silver Moon spoke her demand,

Shen Wang showed curiosity: "So urgent, could it be plans against Jade Silkworm Valley?"

"No, Molan will soon marry Sixth Prince, precautions must be taken, can't be poisoned, this woman currently isn't very willing to marry."

Silver Moon revealed a new piece of news to Shen Wang.

Previously, Shen Wang heard about the marriage alliance but didn't expect Jade Silkworm Valley would have Molan marry so soon.

He nodded: "No wonder, his Highness cannot be poisoned on his wedding night."

"So hurry, if successful, the credit will be significant."

Silver Moon tossed a big offer to Shen Wang.

Shen Wang expressed puzzlement: "They are specialists in poison, I really have no confidence."

"Nobody said you had to completely detoxify, as long as it helps, no matter how potent the poison is, in front of those with profound cultivation, it can't exert full effect."

Silver Moon said flatly: "This antidote I'll have someone give Earth Medicine to see if it works."

Shen Wang was surprised: "Is he deeply poisoned?"

He felt like laughing, the one who's testing turns into both a poison and experiment subject.

"What else? He's already immobile."

Silver Moon said: "Also give me a copy of the formula you devised, have them refine it into elixir; seems it'll be more effective."

"These are all my painstakingly created results over days; shouldn't there be some reward?"

Shen Wang shamelessly asked, not letting such benefits go to waste.

"What do you want?"

Silver Moon didn't refuse; she naturally won't hold back on rewards, or why would anyone fight for her?
