The Medicinal Pill melted the moment it entered his mouth. Yan Li, who had been shouting arrogantly, immediately shut his mouth. The only thing he could pray for now was that the effects of this Medicinal Pill would not work against the Facial Restoration Pill.
However, the waves of itching that soon spread throughout his body plunged him into complete despair.
"Crack, crack, crack..." A series of bone-chilling, creaking sounds of skeletal deformation echoed in the ears of everyone in the VIP seats. In the blink of an eye, Yan Li transformed from a tender seventeen-year-old youth into a cold-faced, middle-aged man!
"Hiss..." Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yan Li's transformation caused everyone to gasp. As Yan Li felt the changes in his body and saw the reaction of the crowd in the stands, his desire to survive overcame his fear.
Yan Li's body twisted slightly, and a poison pill fell to the ground after Chen Yang deliberately let it pass. Then, a colorless and odorless poisonous gas diffused into the air. Aside from Chen Yang, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yi Xian, even Hai Bodong felt the circulation speed of his Fighting Qi become sluggish.
"Jie jie jie..."
"Brat, it's thanks to you dispelling the effects of my Facial Restoration Pill that my strength has restored to its Peak; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to use this Qi-Dissolving Pill!"
"Thieves of the Jia Ma Empire, just you wait for the revenge of my Izumo Empire!"
As Yan Li spoke, he reached out to grab Xiao Yi Xian. In his view, the easiest target on the scene was Xiao Yi Xian sitting next to Chen Yang. Dressed in a white gown, she looked soft and weak, clearly someone with a low cultivation level.
"You beast, how dare you!!!" Hai Bodong shouted. His icy Fighting Qi instantly froze the poison within his body, and then a blast of extreme cold headed straight for Yan Li.
"Old Hai, you're worrying too much." Chen Yang waved his hand, easily neutralizing all of Hai Bodong's icy Fighting Qi.
Hai Bodong wasn't actually that worried about Xiao Yi Xian. After all, although this mistress of his only had the strength of a Nine-Star Dou Ling, even he would feel the threat of death when facing Xiao Yi Xian.
A mere Alchemist from the Izumo Empire, even with some life-saving methods, was naturally not enough to challenge Xiao Yi Xian.
The reason he was anxious was because he had failed to capture the opponent, which made him feel he had lost face for Chen Yang.
"Just watch!" Chen Yang gave Hai Bodong a reassuring look and then turned to Xiao Yi Xian beside him.
On Xiao Yi Xian's side, seeing that Yan Li's target was her, she did not retreat but instead moved forward, and then... "Crack, crack, crack!"
In less than a second, Yan Li's limbs were snapped by Xiao Yi Xian, leaving him wailing on the ground.
"Ah!!!"
"Dammit! In that case, you can all go to hell!"
Yan Li roared, his body writhing again as a streak of purple poisonous gas emerged from his abdomen. Seeing this, Fa Ma's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly retreated: "Quickly, get back! This is the Poison Scorpion Qi of the Izumo Empire's Myriad Scorpion Gate. Even a Dou Huang expert would be heavily injured if they touched it!"
Hearing this, the others also retreated in haste. In contrast, Xiao Yi Xian gave a cold laugh and raised her slender hand toward Yan Li. Instantly, that purple poisonous gas, which seemed ready to devour people, was gathered together, gradually condensing into a solid poison pill that flew into Xiao Yi Xian's hand.
"You, you, you... Who exactly are you?"
"Why do you know the poison techniques of my Izumo Empire?"
Yan Li looked at Xiao Yi Xian in terror.
"I know many things. Would you like to try them?"
Xiao Yi Xian gave a sweet smile and then struck out with a burst of poisonous Fighting Qi, completely paralyzing Yan Li's five senses.
In the blink of an eye, except for his brain which could still think, all of Yan Li's external perceptions vanished. He was no different from a person in a vegetative state.
'Ah! Help me!'
'Kill me, just kill me!'
"Ah!!!"
Yan Li screamed frantically in his heart, but he couldn't make a single sound. For a moment, everyone on the scene was stunned.
Xiao Yi Xian looked at Chen Yang's encouraging gaze and a shy smile flashed across her face. Then, she lightly hooked her finger toward the people on the scene who had been affected by the Qi-Dissolving Pill. A stream of green gas surged out from their bodies, gathering into a green pill that flew into Xiao Yi Xian's hand once more, which she then tucked into her storage ring.
'Tsk, Sister-in-law Xiao Yixian's Calamity Poison Body is truly terrifying!' Xiao Yan thought with both envy and admiration.
"Little Yan Zi, you must never underestimate the group known as poison masters. Some of them are even more proficient in medicinal principles than Alchemists, especially those Alchemist poison masters. Tsk tsk, even when I encountered them back in the day, I would find them quite troublesome..." Yao Lao said with a sigh of emotion.
"Yes!" Xiao Yan nodded, deeply in agreement.
He wouldn't think his teacher was invincible just because he was a Dou Zun expert when he was alive. After all, who hasn't been young once?
Jia Xingtian and the others, now cured of the poison, cupped their hands to thank Xiao Yi Xian. At the same time, they felt even more admiration for Chen Yang. They had originally thought that this young Dou Zong expert was merely powerful himself, and that training someone like Xiao Yan was already enough.
They hadn't expected that any woman by his side would possess such remarkable means.
"Chairman Fa Ma, is there a quiet room here? I need to interrogate this fellow for some information!" Now that Yan Li's identity was clear, the more than two thousand Alchemists present also knew that this guy was an older Alchemist in disguise. Far from being angry, they were all cheering in satisfaction.
