"Ah, no, that simply would not do!" Hearing this, Xiao Hua beamed with delight and rubbed his hands again. "This Xiao does not even know what the supremely unyielding Pure Yang Ancestor is, so how could I know whether it would be useful to me? Let us discuss this matter later."
As he spoke, Xiao Hua stepped toward Zhai Xingzi.
Zhai Xingzi understood as clearly as if he were looking into a mirror. Yet this sort of Xiao Hua reassured him. If a man had no greed, then... could he still be called a man? Besides, if Xiao Hua accepted his gift of gratitude, he would surely spare no effort in detoxifying him.
"How could that do?" Zhai Xingzi said with a smile. "This old man's word carried the weight of nine tripods. Since I have spoken, I absolutely cannot take it back. If True Person Xiao does not believe me, you may take the jade box from this old man's Cosmic Bag right now."
"Fine." Xiao Hua nodded. "If Fellow Daoist Ruo truly has no use for it, then this Xiao will accept it without further ceremony. Still, let us wait until Fellow Daoist can move again before discussing it."
At this point, Xiao Hua looked at Zhai Xingzi and Gusu Qiuran with some difficulty and said, "This Xiao only knows a few rudimentary detoxification techniques. I fear I am powerless against the secret poison of Star Lord Palace! Since Fairy Qiu is... a member of Star Lord Palace, I presume she knows how to cure it?"
Upon hearing this, Gusu Qiuran became furious again. "The Corrosive Heart and Bone Poison is controlled by the Star Lord Palace Hall Master. How could people like us possess it? That damned Jin Yude—I truly want to chop him into minced meat!"
