Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 482 Reality
Ten steps away.

As the name suggests, it takes ten steps for the poison to take effect if it is properly formulated.

Compared with the five-paced snake, the poisonous snake with the fastest onset of toxicity in the Shanhai Continent, it is a bit slower, but it is already the fastest-acting and most difficult-to-prepare poison recipe recorded in the Pharmacopoeia.

That's right, the words in the Pharmacopoeia.

Ying Baoyue looked around at the shocked and somewhat desperate practitioners, and everyone whispered in his ears.

"I didn't expect that the poisonous prescription in the "Pharmacopia" would actually come out..."

"Brother Zhou, you didn't prepare schisandra in advance? Me too. You can't buy these schisandra anywhere. It seems that we will all have to go into the forest later!"

"Our class is too difficult, but this prescription is indeed brilliant, but it would be great if the Pharmacopoeia could record more poisonous prescriptions..."

Hearing someone talk about the poisonous prescriptions in the Pharmacopoeia, Gui Chen immediately nodded in understanding.

Just because this is the regret of almost all practitioners who have read the Pharmacopoeia.

The prescriptions in the Pharmacopoeia are all-encompassing and have absolute prestige among practitioners.But it is such a medical book that is more extensive than any previous medicine book, but there is only one fly in the ointment.

That is, there are too few poisonous prescriptions recorded.

There is no separation between medicine and poison. Although the medical books circulating in the market in the past are far less than the pharmacopoeia in terms of prescriptions, generally at least half of a medical book is written on poison prescriptions.

After all, those who can afford medical books on the Shanhai Continent are often either doctor doctors or practitioners, and poisonous prescriptions that can kill people are more attractive to practitioners than medical prescriptions.In order to sell more and make more money, many medical book dealers will desperately stuff their books with poisonous prescriptions.

The more you record those weird and invisible poisonous prescriptions, the more expensive they can be sold.

But the "Pharmacopia", which is located at the pinnacle of medical books on the Shanhai Continent, is not.

When Guichen first got the medical book sold by Beihan Pavilion, he discovered this surprising fact after reading it.

Compared with the extensive prescriptions, there are surprisingly few poisonous prescriptions in the Pharmacopoeia.There are more than 1000 prescriptions in the entire pharmacopoeia, but there are only ten poisonous prescriptions, all of which are concentrated on the last page, which is very inconsistent with the volume of the entire medical book.

But even if there are only ten poisonous recipes, it is far different from other messy poisonous recipes on the market.

The poisonous prescriptions on the market often manage the poison without treating it, and it is easy to backfire on the practitioners themselves even if they are cruel.Although there are only a few recipes in the Pharmacopoeia, each prescription has a very detailed record of the formula to understand the medicine, and even writes what can be used as a substitute if the corresponding medicine is not found for a while.

It is easier to kill than to save.

Detoxification is far more difficult than poisoning.

Gui Chen's eyes darken slightly.

Even if there are not thousands of prescriptions, just these ten poisonous prescriptions are enough to show the level and ingenuity of the person who wrote the wonderful book "Pharmacopia".

With a complicated expression, Gui Chen looked at the box where the high officials and nobles were located in the distance under the examiner's high platform, where he could see a woman surrounded by countless people.

The Saintess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xu Bingqing.

Beihan Pavilion's explanation for the scarcity of poisoning prescriptions in the "Pharmacopia" is that it is because the Holy Maiden's house is kind-hearted and does not like to fight and kill.This statement also deepened the prestige of Beihan Pavilion and the Saintess of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Once, because of the heart and tenderness behind those cold words, he really yearned for and admired the woman who had written Beihan Pavilion in the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Pharmacopoeia.

But why, everything will become like this?

Why are the Beihan Pavilion and the Saintess of the Northern Wei Dynasty he saw in the book so different from what he saw in real life?

Because of the rupture of those blind longings in the past, at this moment Gui Chen suddenly realized a problem that he had never thought about before.

In the battle between medicine and drugs, the focus is on poisoning.

The primary ceremony began seven years ago, and the winners of the battle of medicine and poison have always been disciples of Beihan Pavilion in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

But there are so few poisonous prescriptions in the Pharmacopoeia, why are the disciples of the Beihan Pavilion still invincible?

Gui Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Are there really only a few poisonous prescriptions in the Pharmacopoeia?
He once heard people say that if there were more poisonous prescriptions in the Pharmacopoeia, it would be too powerful to be added.The most powerful poison is only Shibu San, the levels before and after are really inconsistent.

before and after levels?
The poison prescription on the last page of the pharmacopoeia appeared in front of Gui Chen's eyes, and a terrible thought suddenly popped up in his heart.

Could that be...not the last page, but the first?
The first page of the poison party?
"Guichen? What's the matter with you?" Ying Baoyue looked at the young man who suddenly seemed startled for some reason, "Although I'm sorry to disturb you, but when the bell rings, we will go into the forest to collect medicine .”

"No...it's nothing," Gui Chen said awkwardly.He was taken aback by his unfounded thoughts, took a deep breath and came back to his senses, turned his thoughts back to the personal battle, looked at the girl in front of him and asked, "If we go with the ten-step walk, aren't the medicinal materials we brought really not enough?" ?”

"Well," Ying Baoyue nodded, "Less one taste of Schisandra."

However, there is still no medicinal material to replace Schisandra chinensis.

Guichen is familiar with the memorization of the pharmacopoeia, and when he was in Lishan of the former Qin Dynasty, he used to collect herbs all day long, but now he looks at the struggling teenagers around him, almost everyone is wearing their clothes and feet, and he still feels a little nervous.

There is a quarter of an hour between the announcement of the exam questions and the official dispensing of medicines.It is for the practitioners to recall the poison prescriptions and check the medicinal materials they have brought.

But at this time, there were no practitioners checking the medicinal materials by the medicine testing table, but they all looked nervously at the swamp behind them.

Gui Chen knew that not only they lacked this herb, but now everyone lacked Schisandra.

Then when the bell rings, a fight is inevitable.

He sighed heavily, seeing him like this Ying Baoyue laughed, "What the hell were you thinking about so preoccupied just now? Could it be that you were worthy of ten steps before?"

As long as there is Schisandra chinensis, Shibu San is not a difficult match, after all, she wrote it on the first page...

"I suddenly had an absurd idea just now," Gui Chen's voice interrupted Ying Baoyue's thoughts at this time, he gave a wry smile and watched the girl in front of him prepare to tell the truth.Although his idea was absurd, the girl's words would definitely not treat him as a lunatic.

"What do you think?" Ying Baoyue asked.

Gui Chen whispered about whether the last page of the previous pharmacopoeia poison prescription would be the first page, and once these thoughts appeared in his heart, he would not vomit.

No matter how many crazy words he said, he would just laugh at her words.

But the next moment, the girl in front of him suddenly froze upon hearing the words.

"Mingyue?" Gui Chen was taken aback, looked at Ying Baoyue and hurriedly said, "I... I was guessing wildly, you don't have to take it seriously..."

"No, it's not nonsense," but at this moment, the girl in front of him smiled slightly, and reached out and clenched the hilt of the sword at her waist.

It turns out that there are really people in this world who can realize this.

Ying Baoyue quietly watched the young man in front of him, but Gui Chen didn't know that his suspicion was the truth of the matter.

The sense of disobedience felt by the world is because there is another book in this world.

The poisonous prescription that plotted against Xu Yishan at the Jixia Banquet and made him draw his sword and fall in three steps was a faster and more powerful poisonous prescription than Shibusan.

It's all in that book.

The second half of the Pharmacopoeia, Poison Codex.

Ying Baoyue quietly stared at the doubtful boy in front of him.

The last page of "Pharmacopia" that Gui Chen showed her back then was the first page of "Poison Code" that was torn out.

"There are no coincidences in this world." Ying Baoyue looked at Gui Chen and smiled, "Seeing is believing."

"This is..." Gui Chen was startled.

And at this moment, a loud bell rang beside the medicine testing table, and all the practitioners were stunned.

"The first round of individual competition, start dispensing medicine!" The examiner's voice resounded through the forest.

"It's started, let's go," Ying Baoyue held out his hand to Gui Chen.

"Let's go find Schisandra."
