Red scorpion wood... centipede grass... kugu root, and water laced with Half-Step Drop.
All of those things were poisonous.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Fei frowned. "The things you mentioned are all highly toxic, and their properties are primarily wood and fire. Combining them wouldn't cancel out their toxicity. Instead, their poisons would fuse and become even stronger."
"As your senior brother, I've spent years adding small doses of red scorpion wood and centipede grass to my food to build up a tolerance."
"But even after all these years, with my body having developed some resistance to these toxins, I still wouldn't dare gnaw through an entire stick of raw red scorpion wood or eat a dozen leaves of centipede grass, much less pair them with kugu root and Half-Step Drop..."
"That simply isn't something a normal cultivator can do, unless he takes a Detoxification Pill beforehand."
Shen Fei shook his head as he spoke.
"No!"
Cao Jun still looked shaken. "Senior Brother, someone really can do it, and I didn't see him take a Detoxification Pill beforehand."
"Oh?"
Shen Fei was puzzled.
Then he remembered what Cao Jun had planned to do that day. His expression changed as a vague suspicion formed in his mind.
"Who are you talking about?"
"The newcomer," Cao Jun replied. "Chen Yu!"
Shen Fei froze.
Sure enough.
He had guessed right.
But...
"Impossible. Absolutely impossible!" Shen Fei refused to believe it.
"It's true, Senior Brother!" Cao Jun immediately said. "I saw him eat poison like it was food. Chen Yu is practically Superman!"
Shen Fei fell silent.
A moment later.
"Tell me everything you saw, in detail."
"All right!"
Cao Jun then gave a very detailed account of everything he had done and witnessed that day.
After hearing him out.
