Qin Xuan waved Duan Ning away, then immersed his consciousness and began to study it in detail.
The jade slip began with a clear declaration.
"I cultivated arduously for a century, blazing a new trail. I discovered that just as the heavens and earth are divided into the Five Elements, poison, too, possesses five inherent natures."
"The toad is of Water, its chilling yin gnaws at the bone. The centipede is of Wood, its speed shatters armor. The scorpion is of Fire, its scorching blaze incinerates meridians. The spider is of Earth, its binding web brings Soul Erosion. The snake is of Metal, its sharp and insidious venom…"
"The Five Poisonous Creatures generate and overcome one another in an endless cycle. He who masters these principles can command all poisons."
The more Qin Xuan read, the more profound and mysterious he found it to be.
'Interesting, truly interesting! That Jiaang Xiaofeng was quite a genius!'
