Zhao Er left the Exchange Office and immediately returned to his courtyard.
Tan Shuo's room was shut tight, and Zhao Er had no idea where he had gone. He merely glanced at it before entering his own room and taking out the bottle.
When Zhao Er opened the bottle containing the Earth-Vein Miasma Mother, yellow smoke emerged from its mouth.
The yellow smoke was dense and thick. Instead of rising and dispersing into the air like other poisonous fumes, it overflowed from the bottle like spring water, pouring toward the floor.

Once the fumes entered his mouth, Zhao Er carefully assessed them. They lacked the rotten stench he had expected, but they hardly smelled pleasant. Their scent resembled mud, sand, and dead leaves, much like most of the miasma he had encountered in the Mountain Range.
Zhao Er carefully sensed the miasma entering his body. Unfortunately, before he could experience its toxicity, his body absorbed its toxins.
The toxins had not even had time to reach his internal organs...
