Chapter 248 The Masters Explore the Poison
"Forgive my poor eyesight, but I can't tell what kind of poison this is," Changsun Yu said cautiously, as if walking on thin ice, afraid that he might accidentally follow in the footsteps of the Chanyu and the others.
"You may leave." Zhang Yun nodded slightly. Changsun Yu, as his subordinate, was always proper and dutiful in his work.
He did his best just now, so there's nothing to blame him for.
"Yes, Your Excellency." Changsun Yu breathed a sigh of relief and bowed as he withdrew.
Zhang Yun's sharp and authoritative gaze swept across the entire room, a glint of light flashing within it. No one present dared to meet his eyes directly.
At times like this, anyone who glances at him will unconsciously lower their voice.
"This hall is home to nearly half of the top alchemists in the entire Medicine God Realm. Anyone who wants to come up and take a look can do so as long as they tell the truth and do practical things. It doesn't matter if they can't tell the difference."
"But if you can identify what kind of poison this is and develop an antidote within two days, I, the divine envoy, will reward you handsomely."
Punishment must be accompanied by reward; this is one of Zhang Yun's management principles.
As he said, nearly half of the world's top alchemists are gathered in this great hall.
Although they are all alchemists, their backgrounds and experiences are quite different, and they must each have their own area of expertise.
The fact that Changsun Yu couldn't figure it out didn't mean that all the alchemists present were blind.
"My lord, please allow me to give it a try, but I cannot guarantee anything."
Just then, an old man in a gray robe with a full head of gray hair, and even his eyebrows and beard were gray, spoke up.
The old man in the gray robe always stayed in an inconspicuous position, yet he himself was so eye-catching.
His appearance, attire, and the aura he exuded were all so strange that he stood out from the alchemists around him.
As one of the top alchemists in the world of medicine, he naturally possesses eyesight that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Even if they couldn't tell what kind of poison Zhang Yun had, they could guess that it must be extremely rare and bizarre.
It's no wonder that after Changsun Yu, the gray-robed old man was the first to dare to stand up.
"It's actually the eccentric medicine master Lin Shuixian."
"I heard that this guy is vicious and cruel, and he even used a human as a medicinal ingredient."
"I can't believe this old guy would dare show up in a place like this. Is he looking for death?"
“Under normal circumstances, this old fellow would naturally not dare to show himself easily, but now if he can truly share the burden for the Divine Envoy, the Divine Envoy will likely not only not target him, but will also reward him, and might even gain the Divine Envoy's favor.”
"No wonder he had been deliberately hiding himself all along; he was waiting for this opportunity."
The appearance of the mysterious alchemist Lin Shuixian immediately sparked a chorus of discussion. The high-level alchemists looked at Lin Shuixian with varying degrees of dislike, indifference, and coldness, while some even showed a hint of envy.
The sorcerer is skilled in sorcery, and the poison on the divine messenger is extremely strange.
Getting Lin Shui to take the lead means that success is half achieved.
However, after a short while, Lin Shuixian shook his head somewhat unwillingly and said with a wry smile, "My lord, although I practice esoteric arts, my skills are still lacking. I hope you will forgive me."
Lin Shuixian, who was originally very confident in himself, was not in a good mood at the moment.
Although the divine messenger had given prior instructions that he would not be punished even if no fault was found, the path he took was ultimately not the right one.
Furthermore, given the divine messenger's overwhelming power and extraordinary abilities, even if he were killed on the spot, no one would stand up to speak for him.
Those who practice sorcery are inherently unsociable.
"It's alright, you can go now." Zhang Yun waved his hand expressionlessly, not bothering or punishing Lin Shuixian just because he practiced sorcery.
Now his biggest concern is Zhuo Xinyan's safety, and whether anyone can figure out what kind of poison this is.
However, even the eccentric alchemist failed in his attempt, so Zhang Yun had given up hope. He simply divided the collected toxins into more than ten portions in paper packets and had them passed around among the alchemists present for observation and research.
Most alchemists were quite conscientious. As soon as they received the paper package, they unfolded it and examined it carefully, not entirely out of curiosity.
In the end, they all shook their heads helplessly, and couldn't help but sigh.
As the top alchemists in the Medicine God Realm, most of the alchemists present believed they knew enough, yet they were stumped by something in a small paper package.
Watching the alchemists' actions and reactions, Zhang Yun's heart sank.
Even the top-notch alchemists in the Medicine God Realm were powerless and had no ideas, so the half-baked so-called alchemists on the Cloud Sky Continent were even more troubled.
In other words, it's likely that even if you search the entire Cloud Sky Continent, you won't find the corresponding antidote.
It is easy to imagine how high the talent and skill of that masked man in black was in the art of poisons; he was indeed a rare genius.
If this were any other person poisoned, there would be no cure, and they would simply have to wait to die.
Of course, Zhang Yun is no ordinary cultivator. He possesses the myriad realms of the heavens, so his chances of finding the antidote are much greater.
Therefore, he had no reason to sit idly by and wait for his death.
"You guys are a bunch of useless trash." Zhang Yun shook his head in disappointment and cursed out loud.
Time waits for no one, and Zhuo Xinyan's life waits for no one either.
Zhang Yun decided that he would wait at most half an hour before going to other worlds to find another way.
