Chapter 269: Invulnerable to all poisons
"No wonder Miss Chu was unaffected by the poison secretly administered by the Five Poisonous Demons that day. I think it was to determine whether it was a deliberate trap."

"So everything stems from the open and covert struggles among the candidates for the City Lord position. But how could he possibly be able to invite someone like the Seven Star Sword?"

Li Ming did not waste these two days. He had already found out the two most popular people in Jiulian City. One was Zhao Shikang from the Zhao family, and the other was Master Tong Ren, whom he had met.

The others were due to various reasons such as lack of ability and prestige. Of course, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that other people are secretly plotting.

"The man in black last night only wanted the account books and the 'Five Poisons Miasma-Repelling Pearl'. It seems he's in cahoots with the so-called Manager Qin, who is Zhao Shikang's subordinate. Is there someone else behind the Thirteen Nujiang Devils and the Seven Star Sword? Or is he deliberately muddying the waters?"

Li Ming was thinking in his heart, and his expression became more serious.

"What are you thinking about?" Bian Suxin asked.

"Nothing." Li Ming smiled and said, "I was just wondering what kind of physique is immune to all poisons."

Bian Suxin smiled and said, "Then you've asked the right person. Most people don't know this. I only happened to hear my master mention it. The trait of being immune to all poisons is rare, but there isn't just one type. In fact, there are several types of physiques that can make ordinary toxins invulnerable."

"Really? I'd like to hear more details." Li Ming asked with a smile.

Bian Suxin didn't mind explaining for Li Ming, so the two walked side by side, talking as they walked.

"This kind of constitution can be divided into innate and acquired. You and I both have some knowledge of medicine, so we must be familiar with the concept of drug resistance."

"Of course I know. It means that if a certain medicine is taken too frequently in a short period of time or for a long time, the effect of the medicine on the patient will be greatly reduced over time. The principle behind this is an immune mechanism of the human body." Li Ming said calmly.

Bian Suxin nodded and continued, "Immune mechanism. That's a good name. As the saying goes, every medicine is three-quarters toxic. Poison and medicine are inseparable. Where there's drug resistance, there's also toxic resistance. Take me for example. While I was learning medicine, my master would often have me take small doses of poisons and drugs. Over time, the effects of common drugs or poisons on the market were greatly reduced. It can be considered a form of artificial toxic resistance."

Li Ming nodded in agreement. The reason behind this was naturally that there were not so many kinds of poisons on the market. There were actually only a few ingredients that could cause death or coma. From the perspective of modern medicine, the molecular formulas of the active ingredients were similar or identical, and there was no talk of efficacy without considering the dosage. After such an exercise, ordinary people would be knocked unconscious or drugged to death, while Bian Suxin might only feel dizzy or uncomfortable. Of course, this only meant that she was less likely to be drugged than ordinary people, and it did not mean that she would not be affected.

In fact, for this kind of artificial resistance to poison, you only need to increase the dosage or choose some rarer and more precious poisons to achieve the same effect.

Then Bian Suxin continued, "Apart from that, it's more common that the true qi gained from practicing certain unique techniques can give practitioners resistance to poison."

She paused again, then looked at Li Ming and said, "Generally speaking, the orthodox descendants of Buddhism and Taoism, although they won't say it explicitly, all have certain abilities to dissolve toxins. As a direct descendant of Guangde Temple, you should know something about this."

Li Ming could only smile and said, "Any of my Taoist techniques, when practiced to a deep level, will naturally become neutral and peaceful, and can neutralize a hundred poisons, but one must actively practice the techniques to neutralize them."

"Indeed. The opposite is another approach: fight poison with poison, detoxify with poison, and resist poison with poison!" Bian Suxin's expression changed slightly, and she continued, "The inferior practitioner uses poison to fight poison. During cultivation, they combine the five poisons into one, suppressing the others with a more ferocious poison. Ordinary poisons are naturally useless. The middle practitioner uses poison to detoxify. Their internal energy contains toxins, so when not practicing, they are no different from ordinary people. When necessary, they can dissolve toxins. The superior practitioner uses poison to resist poison, their power surpasses that of nature, making them immune to all poisons. They can become a Medical Immortal or a Poison King." Hearing this, Li Ming seemed lost in thought, thinking of the Miraculous Medical Immortal's life story, but he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he asked, "What about Xiantian?"

Bian Suxin pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, "Being innately immune to all poisons is extremely rare, but many physiques can achieve this, such as the Hundred Herb Spirit Body and the Impermanence Spirit Body."

Bian Suxin listed more than ten kinds of innate constitutions in one breath. Li Ming was not aware of several of them and asked about them one by one. Bian Suxin also patiently explained the principles of these spiritual bodies being immune to all poisons.

For example, the Baicao Spirit Body has an innate affinity with all herbs and is like a powerful medicine itself. Ordinary poisons cannot hurt it at all. The Wuchang Spirit Body has a peculiar physique, which is very different from the body structure of a normal person. Many poisons that are fatal to ordinary people are nothing to it.

After talking about the pursuit, Li Ming asked, "What's Miss Chu's physique?"

"Her." Bian Suxin hissed and then sighed.

"Body of Ten Thousand Poisons!"

"A body immune to all poisons?" Li Ming repeated, his face darkening.

"Isn't this kind of physique very dangerous?"

Bian Suxin nodded slightly, then said, "The Myriad Poison Body is extremely rare, and can be said to be the opposite of the Hundred Herb Spirit Body. If the Hundred Herb Spirit Body is naturally a great medicine, then the Myriad Poison Body is a poison. It is poison from head to toe, and can even kill people from the moment it is born. Moreover, the toxicity becomes stronger as it ages, and it can even emit poison invisibly, and no grass will grow wherever it passes."

"But I think Miss Chu doesn't seem to have such characteristics?" Li Ming asked with a frown.

"I didn't know it at first, but there's a lot more to it. Miss Chu's mother gave birth prematurely, and she was born with congenital deficiencies. Her constitution was incomplete and flawed, so she didn't show any special features at first. But a body that is susceptible to all poisons is a body that is susceptible to all poisons. When she was six years old, she produced toxins for the first time and accidentally poisoned her family to death."

When talking about family, Bian Suxin paused for a moment, and finally only said the three words "family".

"But now I think she is no different from ordinary people?" Li Ming asked curiously.

"After she showed these characteristics, Jiulian City posted a notice, seeking medical advice. An expert traveled here, found out the truth, and allowed Miss Chu to live in seclusion in the mountains. He also passed down a prescription, which slowly eliminated her poisonous body, and she became what she is today." Bian Suxin replied.

"Is that so?" Li Ming finally knew the whole story. He was very respectful to this master. He could actually think of a way to resolve the congenital constitution. His medical attainments must be unfathomable. Even for the current Li Ming, it is difficult to change someone's congenital constitution. Even if it is underdeveloped, he can only suppress it at most.
