Demons and monsters wreak havoc: gain one new confidante every day.

Seeing Xiao Hui fall into the black water, Shen You's eyes widened in fury. Without thinking twice, he desperately got up from the ground and followed Xiao Hui, jumping into the small pool of black water.

With a numb expression, Bi Lin Lang Jun silently watched Shen You without making any attempt to stop him.

Shen You held Xiao Hui's light but fragile body tightly. At this moment, Xiao Hui's skin turned into a crystal-clear color, and the meridians and blood vessels could be clearly seen. Something sparkling flowed with her blood.

At the same time, the black water surrounding them seeped into their bodies relentlessly.

Shen You felt a burning sensation spread throughout his body instantly, as if his skin had been peeled off.

By the pool, the Jade Scale Gentleman sighed, "If I can't save her, at least I can die with her... Isn't that a kind of relief..."

"Shut up!" Shen You gritted her teeth and glared at Bi Lin Lang Jun. "You're nothing but a madman!"

"Heh." Lord Bilin shrugged, his gaze falling on the lotus buds in the middle of the pool. "Seize the last moments to embrace the people around you, soon... you will all become nourishment for the 'Creation Lotus'."

Shen You then learned that this lotus flower was called the "Creation Immortal Lotus," and the dew produced from it was naturally called the "Creation Immortal Dew."

It's ironic that a secret medicine made from human lives is called "immortal."

The naming didn't matter. Shen You felt himself getting weaker and weaker in the black water. His strength and life force seemed to be draining away together. In no time, he and Xiao Hui would die in this pool.

"I don't want to die! I don't want to see that smug snake looking so smug! Is there any hope in swallowing my anger? I refuse to believe it!"

Shen You roared inwardly, "I'm determined to seize this hope myself!"

Shen You refused to back down; at this point, all he felt was the will to forge ahead.

"Great strength... Only by developing great strength can I possibly defeat Lord Bilin and save my beloved Xiaohui..."

Shen You's mind raced. "My Five Poisons Technique also has the effect of fusing poisons. If I master the 'Great Five Poisons Strength,' I might be able to neutralize the black water poison around me!"

The feeling of being corroded by the black water was unbearable, but Shen You endured the pain that was everywhere in his body, closed his eyes and focused his mind, visualizing the images of the Five Poison Demons.

The image of a demon created purely from imagination is naturally more difficult than a traditional visualization.

Moreover, when Shen You was meditating, he had to divert some of his energy to resist the pain emanating from his body, which prevented him from achieving the desired effect of his meditation.

He wanted to merge the five poisons into the demon to form a perfectly unified whole, and he also wanted the five poisons to neutralize the poisons around him so that he could survive in the black pool.

As he racked his brains, suddenly, the image of the Five Poison Demon in his mind seemed to change, and a pure golden feather robe began to emerge around the demon.

The feathered robe enveloped the demon, resisting the threats emanating from all around.

Shen You felt the pain from the deadly poison around her lessen.

"It was formed to resist highly toxic substances..."

Shen You suddenly realized that because her subconscious desire to resist the poison was equally strong, the five poisonous energies she visualized changed accordingly, resulting in this detoxifying feather robe.

"But why... can it detoxify even though it's one of the Five Poisons..."

It is clearly a poison technique, yet it can resist poisons.

Shen You felt a sense of doubt. He intuitively felt that this question was crucial. If he could figure it out, he might be able to break through his current predicament and find a way to come back to life.

"This Five Poisons Technique was taught to me by Old Ghost Huang; it contains hidden secrets and is quite extraordinary..."

"What was Old Ghost Huang making me practice martial arts for again? Right, it was to make me develop the 'Five Immortals Great Strength' to cure Master Jingxin's wife's illness!"

"But how can poison techniques cure illnesses?"

The more Shen You thought about it, the stranger it seemed. He felt he was getting closer and closer to the answer.

"It's clearly a Five Poisons Technique, but I don't think I've ever poisoned anyone... The Five Poisons are just the form; when I cultivate it, it's a technique that tempers my entire body... At most, it can help me detoxify in critical moments..."

"The five poisons combined into one create immense power, capable of healing the sick and forming a feathered garment to resist deadly poisons..."

"What exactly are the Five Poisons? And what exactly is this cultivation technique...?"

Shen You was deep in thought when suddenly he felt a jolt.

"Wait a minute, Old Ghost Huang never mentioned anything about 'Five Poisons Great Strength,' he always said 'Five Immortals Great Strength'!"

"After mastering the 'Five Immortals Great Strength,' the next cultivation method is also the 'Five Immortals Orthodox Method.' The method to heal Master Jingxin's wife also requires mastering the 'Five Immortals Tribulation-Crossing Pill'!"

Shen You felt that she had fallen into a huge misconception.

"In the end, what I practiced wasn't poison skills at all, but... medical skills?"

After all, it's Renxintang, and I'm just a pharmacist apprentice. How could I possibly follow a pharmacist to practice poison techniques?

Shen You suddenly realized the truth.

"Because of Huang Laogui's insidious nature, I tacitly accepted that it wasn't out of place for him to practice poison-based martial arts. But in reality, the Five Poisons Technique only borrows the form of the five poisons; in essence, it is a top-tier medical technique for tempering the body and healing the world!"

"Its greatest benefit is probably detoxification!"

If it weren't for possessing the Five Poisons Technique, Shen You felt he wouldn't have been able to easily defeat Wan Du and remain conscious in the Blackwater Pool.

"So what I'm going to practice isn't some 'Five Poisons Great Strength,' but quite the opposite, the 'Five Immortals Great Strength'!"

"I need to cultivate to become a true 'immortal'!"

With the image of the golden feather robe in her mind as a reference, Shen You had completely understood what to do.

The changes he needed to make were few; he simply had to reverse the most crucial part.

"It used to be the Five Poisons, now it's the Five Immortals..."

"Before, it was about poisoning; now it's about saving lives..."

"What was once insidious and treacherous has now become righteous and honorable..."

In Shen You's mind, the five poisonous creatures emitted golden light together. The horrifying and ugly limbs and patterns on their bodies became clean and neat, and with the golden luster, they even gave people a sense of sacred beauty.

The venomous snake turned into a golden snake, the venomous gecko turned into a golden gecko, the venomous scorpion turned into a golden scorpion, the venomous toad turned into a golden toad, and the venomous centipede turned into a golden centipede...

Shen You suddenly realized a crucial point, "Yes, although the five martial arts techniques also have names like 'Gecko Technique' and 'Scorpion Technique,' the other three all have the word 'gold' in their names, such as 'Golden Snake Technique,' 'Golden Toad Technique,' and 'Golden Centipede Technique'!"

Once you know the answer, everything becomes clear: this was never a poisonous technique!

At this moment, when Shen Youguan grasped the correct meaning, what came to mind was not the ugly Five Poison Demons, but the sacred Five Poison Immortal Beasts.

The five forces within his body naturally coalesced, and the surrounding black water also brought sufficient pressure, causing his forces to form golden jade belts floating in his meridians.

Jade belts and feathered robes, along with the sacred and majestic image of the Five Immortals.

His brand-new "Five Immortals Great Strength" is taking shape!
