Han Yunxi’s formidable adversary was none other than Jun Yixie’s master, the former head of the Hundred Poisons Sect, Bai Yanqing. He and his junior disciple Bai Yuqiao were sitting on a large boulder at the entrance of the maze pathway. They hadn’t entered the mists at all.

Bai Yuqiao always knew and believed her master to be Cloud Realm Continent’s most powerful poisons masters. Even the famed Han Yunxi couldn’t be his match. Yet her world had been turned upside down today. Reality after reality proved that she’d severely underestimated Han Yunxi. Despite her youth, the woman was already this skilled. It was far beyond both her and senior brother, making her an undisputed genius. At the same time, she realized she’d underestimated her master as well.

Of all the poisons Han Yunxi had used, she only recognized the one that had plagued senior brother’s shoulders. The rest were all a mystery to her. Yet master seemed very familiar with each toxin and found ways to dispel them without a second thought. It only took as long as the time to brew a cup of tea because he was teaching her how to to differentiate the toxicity of each poison before getting rid of it.

Bai Yuqiao couldn’t imagine the lofty realms that her master’s poison skills had reached by now. She was only curious about two things. 1) Master hadn’t brought any materials with him this time, so where was he getting the ingredients to make his antidotes? She didn’t even see him take anything out to dispel the poison. It was more like he strolled inside the path a bit before all the toxins in the air disappeared. 2) The rheumatism-like poison on her senior brother’s shoulder was still tormenting him. Master had been studying its antidote but still didn’t have any success. Just then, he’d taken a two hour nap before going on his usual stroll inside the pathway. The same poison that had plagued her senior brother for ages disappeared from the air just like that.

Just what was that all about?

Han Yunxi kept releasing poisons, even as master kept dispelling them. Finally, Bai Yuqiao couldn’t help but ask, “Master, you...right now, you could...treat senior brother’s shoulder poison, right?” She was full of questions, but this was the most important one.

She couldn’t figure it out. Did master just unravel the mystery of that poison during his two hour nap today? Senior brother had been suffering from its effects for over two years. Anytime the weather turned chilly, his shoulder would flare up. Moreover, the effects were growing more and more severe. Senior brother was certain that master was looking into his condition, so he hadn’t asked him once for the progress of the antidote. Meanwhile, Bai Yuqiao could only feel distress whenever she saw him wracked with agony from his pains.

“It’s incurable,” Bai Yanqing replied honestly.

Bai Yuqiao was stunned. “Then master, just then…”

“Who told you that antidote are required to dispel poisons?” Bai Yanqing retorted.

“Your disciple is slow-witted and stupid…” Now Bai Yuqiao was even more confused, but she quickly ducked her head and stopped asking questions. She knew master would give her dire consequences for talking too much.

As she waiting obediently on the side, Bai Yanqing and Han Yunxi fought a few more rounds before he started talking to himself. “That lass must have the Water of Ten Thousand Poisons in her hands.”

Water of Ten Thousand Poisons?

Bai Yuqiao grew startled. Isn’t that the poison pond water that disappeared into thin air from Medicine City’s forest? Senior brother’s brought it up before.
