Want to Learn Medicine? First Learn Poison!

The Vast Heaven Sect possesses numerous assets, but the vast majority of its palaces remain relatively poor.

Aside from unlimited resources, unlimited elixirs, and all sorts of other things, most palaces don't really have much else...

But Spirit Crane Palace is different. In the past two years, thanks to the actions of those bastards from the Muyue Kingdom, Spirit Crane Palace has seen its spiritual herbs and pills skyrocket in popularity.

As for spiritual herbs, since the Muyue Kingdom will need to cultivate spiritual fields for a long time to come, the cultivation of spiritual herb resources will not be a major problem for the time being.

However, the matter of elixirs is more troublesome. After all, all the disciples of the Spirit Crane Palace cultivate their Dao through medicine. In the past two years, under the rigorous research of the disciples of the Muyue Kingdom, the alchemy skills of the Spirit Crane Palace disciples have risen like a rocket.

It is no exaggeration to say that Spirit Crane Palace currently monopolizes about 90% of the high-end elixirs in the world.

Previously, if you wanted to buy high-end pills, you had to compare prices from three different vendors. Now, if you hesitate for even a second, it's considered a sign of distrust towards the Spirit Crane Palace!

The pills from the Spirit Crane Palace are renowned for their high quality, effectiveness, and excellent price.

However, while alchemy can be profitable, it also requires a lot of resources!

Especially in the realm of high-end pills, the various spiritual herbs required for each batch of high-end pills are of extremely high value.

Apart from the freaks from the Muyue Kingdom, the disciples of the Spirit Crane Palace can now maintain a success rate of about 70% in alchemy.

Don't underestimate this success rate; it's a success rate that could make outsiders despair.

The Spirit Crane Palace can monopolize one-third of the Vast Heaven Sect's revenue by selling medicine shows just how terrifying Spirit Crane Palace is.

But now, upon hearing that the Grand Elder wanted to teach him the Voodoo Arts, Chu Xinghe was so excited he almost peed himself!

It still has to be the Grand Elder...

I, Chu Xinghe, have been racking my brains for so many days, but I still haven't come up with a way to deplete the sect's resources. The Grand Elder just gave me a completely new idea without even saying a word.

You want to learn Voodoo Arts, right?

Then I, Chu Xinghe, will definitely do my best to pass on my knowledge to all my fellow disciples.

But as everyone knows... Voodoo Arts... "witch" represents elixirs, and "poison" naturally represents poisons.

So, Voodoo Arts... isn't it reasonable that sometimes all you end up with are poisons?

Our Spirit Crane Palace used to make a fortune selling pills, but now that we've learned Voodoo Arts, everything we concoct will be poison... Tell me, who are we going to sell it to?!

Everyone was consuming resources like crazy, but the medicine they produced was all poison, and they couldn't sell it at all...

This one's practically taking off!

Chu Xinghe said with a serious expression, "Please rest assured, Elder, I will personally teach the Spirit Crane Palace disciples the Voodoo Arts!"

Soon, the news that Senior Brother Xinghe would personally teach everyone the Voodoo Arts spread throughout the Spirit Crane Palace.

The entire Spirit Crane Palace was in an uproar!

You must know, that's Voodoo Arts!

That's the origin of the ancient art of alchemy!

With such a miraculous skill, wouldn't everyone's alchemy abilities skyrocket?

That very day, Chu Xinghe began teaching his fellow disciples the Voodoo Arts.

Chu Xinghe swears to the heavens that all the Voodoo Arts he taught are absolutely correct.

After all, Voodoo Arts is different from ordinary alchemy. If you just randomly teach ordinary alchemy techniques, at most it will cause a furnace explosion and leave your fellow disciples covered in soot and dust.

Chu Xinghe dared not act recklessly, knowing that the Voodoo Arts could be taught to him.

Because Voodoo Arts is a combination of voodoo and poison, if something goes wrong and the furnace explodes, the poison could potentially harm the fellow disciples.

Therefore, all the Voodoo Arts taught by Chu Xinghe are correct. But while they are correct, the methods and types of concoctions... it wouldn't be wrong to make them all lean towards poisons!

Tell me, does poison count as part of Voodoo Arts?

Faced with Senior Brother Xinghe's instruction, the disciples studied with utmost seriousness. In just a few days, the Spirit Crane Palace disciples made rapid progress under Chu Xinghe's tutelage.

But as it flew... a problem arose.

Why are all the pills that everyone refined according to the method taught by Senior Brother Xinghe... poisonous?

This doesn't seem to be a elixir, but rather poison!

The Grand Elder, who had been closely following Xinghe's teaching of Voodoo Arts, was also completely baffled.

The Grand Elder immediately sought out Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng to conduct the investigation together.

To be fair, Ji Changfeng is indeed a professional. When he saw everything Xinghe had taught him, he immediately declared, "Elder, Xinghe is absolutely right!"

This is absolutely genuine Voodoo Arts. I, Ji Changfeng, guarantee it with my life. The teachings of Xinghe are without any problem.

All of what Xinghe taught were profound Voodoo Arts, super divine arts that even I Ji Changfeng, had not mastered!

As for why all the drugs being refined now are poison, Ji Changfeng also provided an explanation.

Ji Changfeng said, "Elder, you are too impatient."

Voodoo Arts is based on the same source as poison; poison and medicine are essentially one. The poisons that the disciples concoct, while undeniably poisons, are far more potent than elixirs in certain situations!

As the saying goes, if you want to learn medicine, you must first learn poison; this should be the correct method for practicing Voodoo Arts.

After hearing Ji Changfeng's explanation, the Grand Elder was relieved.

Elder Ji is absolutely right. Voodoo Arts is a divine art, and currently, only Xinghe in the entire world understands Voodoo Arts. When it comes to expertise, who can surpass Xinghe?

Although the Voodoo Arts taught by Xinghe can only produce poisons at present, poison is still medicine...

Look how much everyone's success rate has increased since they started learning Voodoo Arts...

Although the sect might lose some resources in the short term because the poisons it produced couldn't be sold, what difference does our Vast Heaven Sect make over such a small amount?

If everyone keeps learning, once you've learned about all the poisons, you'll naturally need to learn about some useful elixirs too!

Having figured all this out, the Grand Elder happily hummed the little tune of "Good Luck" that he had been listening to Xinghe sing recently.

To be honest, Xinghe is quite something... He's always singing different little tunes, and you know what, they're actually quite amusing to listen to.

Chu Xinghe didn't know whether the Grand Elder found it interesting...

Chu Xinghe only knew that the Misfortune Compass had been activated!

As Chu Xinghe watched the Misfortune Compass slowly begin to spin, tears welled up in his eyes.

In this Voodoo Arts, I insisted on putting all the poison-related aspects first, even though I knew I would teach the method of refining elixirs after teaching the poisons.

But how many poison pills are recorded in voodoo?

Moreover, the higher the level of the poison pills, the more resources are required for their refining according to the Voodoo Arts.

The resources needed to master the refining of poison pills for every disciple of the Spirit Crane Palace alone would be astronomical.

Regardless of whether you make a fortune or not in the future, just say whether you're losing money now!

Not only are the regular disciples of the Spirit Crane Palace making poison pills, but even the slow-moving but early-developing Muyue Kingdom are making poison pills!

Watching the disciples of the Muyue Kingdom were refining all sorts of top-grade poison pills every day, Chu Xinghe's eyes welled up with tears.

Come on! You bunch of bastards from the Muyue Kingdom, you're backstabbing me now!

I, Chu Xinghe, have been betrayed by you all so many times, but I've grown up!

I've also summarized it!

Why were they constantly betrayed by Mu Bai the Muyue Kingdom?

The reason is simple... I always give them random advice, but they always manage to conjure up the correct path from that random advice, and then they stab themselves in the back.

But this time it's different...

This time Voodoo Arts I, Chu Xinghe, am teaching you is genuine Voodoo Arts.

All the poison pills you have refined are correct poison pills. Apart from being useless and unsellable, they have absolutely no other problems.

Even if your Muyue Kingdom is incredibly imaginative, how dare you betray me after I gave you the correct Voodoo Arts?

It turns out I was right this time...

No matter how strong the Muyue Kingdom are, under the completely correct Voodoo Arts, they can't do anything other than improve the quality of their poison pills.

Mu Bai shamelessly asked Xinghe, "Senior Brother Xinghe, when can we learn those magical elixirs from the Voodoo Arts?"

These poisons don't seem to be very effective!

Hearing what Mu Bai said, Chu Xinghe severely criticized Mu Bai.

Chu Xinghe said to Mu Bai, "Do you even know what it means to be overly ambitious?"

Do you know what it means to try to run before you can walk—you're bound to fall?

As the saying goes, if you want to learn alchemy, you must first learn poison. This is the Voodoo Arts. If you don't learn poison well and go straight to learning alchemy, it's very dangerous, do you understand?

Besides, who says poison pills are useless?

Look at this Liwen Pill; this stuff can counteract the venom of the Liwen Insect!

The Liwen Insect is an ancient poisonous insect. Apart from the Liwen Pill, there is no other medicine in the world that can cure this rare poison. This thing is a prime example of fighting poison with poison!

What the heck? Mu Bai, you said the Liwen Insect is extinct?

That's not important... Just tell me Liwen Pill is powerful or not!

Moreover, even disregarding the Liwen Pill, there's the Nightmare Pill, which is naturally effective against the Nightmare Snake's Nightmare Poison! It's also the only miraculous pill that can use poison to fight poison and neutralize the Nightmare Snake's venom!

What the heck? Even the Nightmare Snake is nowhere to be found?

So what? It's always better to be prepared, you know?

While Mu Bai didn't understand what Xinghe meant by these poisonous pills, Ji Changfeng understood them perfectly.

Although Ji Changfeng was a guest elder, he still came to the Spirit Crane Palace to learn the Voodoo Arts. As for the various poison pills that he had only heard of in legends before, Ji Changfeng said that Xinghe was fine.

These poison pills would have been considered the most divine pills in ancient times!

You have no idea how terrifying the effects of these divine pills are! If you had these pills in ancient times, you would be immune to all poisons.

Although the poisons that these poison pills were effective against have now been eradicated... so what?

What if there are still some somewhere... what if!

Regardless of whether it was a "what if" scenario or not, Chu Xinghe didn't care. In any case, all the techniques for refining poison pills that Chu Xinghe was teaching at this moment highlighted three characteristics.

First... this stuff would definitely kill you if eaten normally...

Secondly... the poisonous creatures that this thing is effective against are all extinct...

Third... this thing consumes a huge amount of resources to make...

Considering these three characteristics, tell me, how could anyone whose brain isn't filled with nothing but rice porridge possibly buy our elixir?

If no one buys our pills, wouldn't we just be losing money by refining them?

We've maxed out all the useless poison pills this round, tell me how we're going to lose!
