Shen Yanxiao and her friends left the room, and as they walked out of the Herbalist Division, Yan Yu asked in doubt, "You're letting them off just like that?" For some reason, he still felt that the little brat would not let things go so easily.
Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrow and asked, "Do you know what detrimental potion they had drunk?"
"What was it?" Yang Yu was very curious to know about the potion that not even Ye Qing could identify.
Shen Yanxiao had an odd smile on her face as she said in a low voice, "It was merely an enhanced version of the Slow Potion."
"Slow Potion? Then why couldn't Pu Lisi and Ye Qing come up with the antidote?" Yang Xi propped his arm on Yan Yu's shoulders like a curious cat.
"Because I added something to it."
"What did you add?"
"A curse."
"..." The trio was thoroughly speechless. That was the first time that they had heard about the usage of curses with potions.
"I had cast a singular curse on the antidote. The curse would invade their meridians as the Slow Potion spread throughout their body. Pu Lisi would never expect that I would use a curse on it. Even if he knew the antidote for the Slow Potion, it would be a futile attempt. Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan would never recover if I did not undo the curse." A small hint of flame dances within her eyes as she explained. A small bottle of potion could be used as a sinister tool in her hands.
"Aren't you afraid that Ouyang Huanyu would discover you?" Qi Xia touched his chin. No one from another profession had ever chosen to become a herbalist. They had to use a tremendous amount of effort to attain a certain level in a trade, and if they wish to learn both, they would not have enough energy to do that. Shen Yanxiao's casual speech had shocked Qi Xia. At the moment, she was involved in three professions, and she even attained the intermediate level in all three. It was hard to digest the level of her progress.
Furthermore, she could even merge a warlock's skills with potions. She was simply an overpowered character.
!!..
"I'm not that dumb. I added ingredients that could eliminate magic traces so that even Ouyang Huanyu would never notice any abnormalities." She had already made preparations for such a situation, and she was not someone who would fight in a battle if she did not think she could win.
"Then what's with that bottle of antidote?" Yan Yu continued to ask. They saw that Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan's condition were better after they consumed the antidote.
"I cast a dispel curse on the antidote so that they could recover from it. Despite that, their condition is irreversible, and an entire day of damage had depleted their mental energy. Even if I did not provide the antidote, their condition would not have deteriorated any further." Shen Yanxiao had managed to do Ouyang Huanyu a favor and eliminate further threats from her opponents; it was like killing two birds with one stone. Furthermore, it was almost an effortless action to push Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan into the pits without any hopes for recovery.
After Shen Yanxiao's explanation, her friends looked at the seemingly harmless little brat with a weird expression.
A renowned expert was never the scariest figure as everyone knew not to provoke them.
Instead, it was those seemingly inconspicuous characters that stayed hidden in the dark that would chill one to their bone. There was no way to tell if one had offended them before calamity landed on oneself.
Shen Yanxiao was someone like that.
On an average day, she was a kind and seemingly without any temper or prominent abilities.
