Chapter 1667 High Level Poison

"We should leave for now," Zhan Luoyang suggested after a bit more talking. "If people realize we're missing, they might come looking for us."

Alex nodded. "I'll go back too. I need to take the time to study this poison too," he said, feeling the poison that he had kept in his body. It was a good thing that it hadn't been destroyed just yet.

"Please tell my sister that I will come here tomorrow during the day," Alex said. "With a simple mention of me needing to make some pills, I shouldn't cause much attention toward this place."

"That will work," Zhan Luoyang said. "I will take you back then."

Alex nodded. He walked up to Hannah and gave her one last hug before walking away. The Crown Prince still seemed completely taken aback by everything he had heard that day.

They stealthily made it back to their rooms. Before leaving him there, however, Zhan Luoyang remained to say something.

"About the poison, Your Majesty," the woman spoke. "I haven't had the time to figure out what it is, but I have a guess, and I suggest that you be very careful."

Alex nodded slowly. He knew the poison was dangerous. That need not be told. "You know what it is?" Alex asked the woman.The source of this content can be connected to n0v3lb!n★

"A guess," Zhan Luoyang corrected him. "Given how difficult of a time we're having because of the poison, I guessed that it was not something normal. I had suspected it being a high-level poison, and now as each day passes by, I become more and more certain that the poison we're dealing with is a Level 10 poison."

Alex's eyes narrowed a bit. "Level 10?" he asked, his mind already searching for the information he knew he knew. A look of understanding flashed through his face.

"Yes," he said slowly. "That is possible."

He remembered the tale of the Level 9 Poison master making a poison so potent that it had killed him the moment he created it. The Azure Dragon himself had to come and deal with the poison and take it away.

Could he have given it to the Dragon Emperor then? And he used it on his sister?

The possibility was there.

Alex held back on his body's ability to destroy the poison and suffered because of it. He could feel the burning pain in his veins like fire walking through it. He could sense his meridians being wounded as the poison made its way along.

But... that was it. Nothing else happened to him at all.

'It has a corrosive nature to it,' Alex thought to himself. 'Corrosive, and freely moving inside the meridian.'

But aside from that, the poison did nothing to the body.

'It is a poison that attacks the spirit then,' Alex thought. This part he was a little more fearful about. The prospect of having to reveal his spirit to the poison did not bode well with him.

'Just a bit,' Alex thought and tore off a piece of the poison before sending it into his Dantian. The moment he allowed that, the poison immediately found its way to his Dantian on its own. Alex didn't even have to do anything.

'That's another thing,' Alex thought, memorizing that part of the poison as well.

Then, the poison reached his Dantian, where he left it to do its thing. He wanted to see what the poison would do.

Before the poison could do something, it completely fell apart and died all of a sudden. Alex didn't even have the time to stop that from happening.

"Dammit!" he thought slightly. He had controlled his body from dealing with the poison, and that had been hard. Now, it seemed he was going to have to stop the Yin Qi to do so as well.

The high-level Yin Qi hadn't destroyed the poison but rather made it impotent. Either way, Alex needed to deal with his Yin Qi before bringing the poison.

He protected the ball of poison in his body and started cultivating with his Yang Qi. After half an hour of cultivation, he sensed no more Yin Qi in his body and brought another small ball of poison into his Dantian.

This time around, the poison was more free than last time and thus acted immediately, latching onto his spirit that was inside the Dantian.

Alex finally felt the effects of the poison in full force.

It was maddening.
