From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

On the third day, you will be unable to move.

On the fourth day, your bodies will rot;

On the fifth day, countless insects will crawl all over your bodies;

On the sixth day, you will experience unparalleled pain...

It will not be until the seventh day that your consciousness will disappear and you will truly die.

Therefore, this poison is also known as 'Genesis,' for destruction is the root of creation.

Among the forty-two were also diviners from the Zhuge family, who used their fingers to divine and their eyes to calculate, seeking answers—

[Is it possible to be poisoned?]

The answer was yes.

Could it be fatal?

The answer obtained was also yes.

But when he asked about the source of this poison, a huge ball of light with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared in his inner vision, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood and his eyes to become bloodshot.

"Zhuge Yu, are you alright?" It seemed that Chong knew this old man from the Zhuge family, so he quickly patted him on the shoulder and asked.

"fine!"

Zhuge Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shouted to the crowd, "I just calculated that we are indeed poisoned, and the origin of this poison... I was affected by its backlash."

Those Buddhists and Taoists present were quite knowledgeable about the arts of divination and sorcery, but seeing that even Zhuge Yu had suffered a backlash, they understood why the chameleon was so confident.

This poison—

I'm afraid they really won't be able to solve it within seven days!

# Chapter 299 The King of Qin's Bone-Illuminating Mirror

Genesis?

Jiang Liu took a wine bottle from the tray held by the maid beside him, bit off the cork, and, under the shocked gazes of everyone, took a big gulp, chuckling as he said, "This is the opening book of the Bible, the Old Testament, the Pentateuch. To dare to name it this way, it seems that the man surnamed Sun has some connection with the strange people of the West?"

Most of the people present were unfamiliar with the Bible and the Pentateuch, but upon hearing the phrase "Western aliens," a chill ran through them.

This is a provocation from Western superhumans against Eastern superhumans!

"No wonder he's the president of the Confucian Association who transformed a slum in Yuhang into a thriving cultural street in just one year. He has such insight at such a young age." Chameleon applauded in praise.

“After all, in addition to the traditional skills of China, Cultural Street also welcomes Westerners to join, and there is also a Christian member in the Confucian Association.” Jiang Liu finished the wine in the bottle in one gulp.

"President Jiang, do you know how to cure poison?" Seeing that he was unharmed after drinking a bottle of poisoned wine, someone hurriedly asked.

"idiot!"

Li Muxuan, however, mocked this person.

Can the river flow detoxify?

He knew that the other party possessed a relic-like exquisite inner elixir, which could neutralize all poisons entering the body by stabilizing the five internal organs.

Even if it can be solved—

You can't just ask them directly on the spot!

"It can't be solved."

Strictly speaking, the Relic Elixir itself does not have detoxification effects. It can detoxify, but it can only activate the five internal organs to the greatest extent, stimulate vitality, stabilize life, and thus allow the body's immune system to forcibly eliminate toxins from the body.

Therefore, Jiang Liu's statement that he "couldn't solve it" wasn't exactly a lie.

"Since this poison is related to Western supernatural beings, then no matter how much is ingested, it will only take effect after seven days. Am I right, Vice Commander?"

Jiang Liu asked with a smile.

You guessed right.

The chameleon didn't believe Jiang Liu could unlock this "forbidden fruit of God," but his expression wasn't too pleasant either, simply because the atmosphere was starting to shift towards being dominated by Jiang Liu.

"Genesis... I still prefer to call it the forbidden fruit of God. This poison is very special. No matter how much is ingested, it will only accumulate in the worm-like structures of the intestines. The rest will not remain in the body, but will be actively excreted with feces and urine."

So, I'll tell you a simple way to detoxify without taking an antidote: just cut open the abdomen, cut off and remove the worm-like protrusions, and then suture the wound back up.

Western medical researchers have discovered that removing the vermiformes does not affect normal bodily functions; on the contrary, it can reduce the probability of inflammation.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

Disembowelment—

Who would dare to do that?

Furthermore, Eastern Qi cultivation emphasizes the importance of a flawless body, believing that every organ in the human body, even those that seem insignificant and useless, is part of the overall circulation of the body. Rashly removing an organ, even if it heals and does not affect any normal life activities, will still affect cultivation.

On the spot, there was only one person who did what Si Chonggan did. His progress in the second level of cultivation was the highest among the Sanyi Sect. He disemboweled himself, removed his appendix, circulated his profound skills, and after transforming his Qi, he could reconstruct and repair himself.

Why not first activate the profound skill, using Qi to transform the internal organs and allow the appendix to separate on its own, thus reducing the pain of abdominal surgery?

The moment the chameleon revealed the poison, Si Chong did just that, only to find that the poison was extremely peculiar, instantly spreading throughout his body!

After the process of calming and transforming the Qi into the internal organs was completed, the "toxins" returned to the vermiform ducts...

If one cannot reach the third level of attainment, achieving the gathering of form and dispersal of energy to completely eliminate it, the best approach is to first open the abdomen, remove the appendix, and then perform the Qi transformation technique to repair it.

This will consume one's innate vital energy, but it is indeed a solution.

However, it seems unlikely that Chong would do such a thing on the spot.

"Gentlemen, rest assured, as long as you help the commander find the treasure he needs after the martial arts tournament, he will give you the antidote, and the commander will also give you and the forces behind you great benefits."

Seeing that no one dared to commit seppuku, the chameleon finally breathed a sigh of relief, his face filled with a joyful expression, and handed out another handful of radishes to everyone.

"May I ask, Lord Chameleon, what treasure is the General looking for?"

Li Muxuan directly referred to the other party as a "chameleon," speaking in a sarcastic tone.

The chameleon's smile instantly froze, and it visibly darkened...

Then Jiang Liu was seen taking another bottle of wine from the trays of maids waiting beside other advanced participants and drinking it down in a frenzy...

His eyelids were twitching violently!

"In that case, I will be frank. The General is looking for two treasures."

The chameleon's voice was deep and resonant, "The Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror! And a meteorite from outer space!"

The King of Qin's Bone-Illuminating Mirror?

Jiang Liu only had a general understanding of the history of the Qin Dynasty. When he first heard of this item, he asked Zhang Zhiwei, "Brother Zhiwei, do you know about the Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror?"

"do not know."

Zhang Zhiwei's answer was incredibly straightforward.

Most of the Taoist priests and monks present were also unaware of this, while the others guessed that these were personal belongings of Qin Shi Huang... Were they being led to Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum?!

That would be absolutely suicidal!

Since the death of the First Emperor, the land has been divided, and two thousand years have passed, yet no one has been able to excavate the First Emperor's mausoleum. Even if they were to find it, they would have to consider various traps and mechanisms before they could dig into the underground palace.

That would definitely be a situation where nine out of ten people would die!

Furthermore, Taoist priests and Buddhist monks digging up graves... wouldn't that damage their reputation?

Only Zhuge Yu of the Wuhou faction remained calm and revealed the origin of the Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror: "Legend has it that in the thirty-sixth year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, a meteorite fell from the sky in Dongjun, with the inscription: 'The First Emperor will die and the land will be divided.'"

Perhaps it was because the common people at that time were harsh and cruel under the Qin laws...

Let's leave that aside for now.

The meteorite was smashed by humans and divided into nine pieces. Eight of these pieces contained different kinds of gold, iron, and crystal. They were polished and made into eight mirrors, namely the Sea-Stabilizing Mirror, Demon-Detecting Mirror, Plague-Repelling Mirror, Bone-Illuminating Mirror, Three-Life Mirror, Mirror-Polishing Stone, Returning to Origin Mirror, and Heaven-Opening Mirror.

Among them, the bone-revealing mirror is said to be able to reveal the human skeleton, internal organs, and meridians, which is quite mysterious.

[A human body scanning scanner? Or an X-ray fluoroscopy machine?]

Two thoughts immediately popped into Jiang Liu's mind.

Cultivating Qi requires understanding the human body, but this is generally achieved through "inner vision," directly creating a magical artifact that can be used to see through the body's internal organs and bones.

The ancients probably envisioned it, but most likely didn't know how to make it.

Could the crystals and metals contained in that meteorite fragment used to make the bone-revealing mirror contain radioactive materials?

"And the remaining ninth meteorite—"

At this point, Zhuge Yu stared at the chameleon and asked, "Is this the meteorite that the Commander-in-Chief is truly looking for?"

"As long as you know."

After saying this, Chameleon slowly stood up. "The commander-in-chief set off before the martial arts tournament to investigate the Jinhua area. After the tournament, I hope you will all be able to come with me."

of course.

If you're not afraid of death, you don't have to go, but I'm afraid the forces behind you will be subjected to the baptism of cannons!

"You are indeed very powerful, but are all your fellow disciples, relatives, and friends as powerful as you? Even if you destroy all our cannons and weapons, we can still wear down our men and see if you can outlast hundreds of thousands of troops!"

In an instant, everyone present became terrifyingly gloomy—

# Chapter 300 A Blessing in Disguise

After the chameleon left, the maids also went outside, but Jiang Liu took all the wine and prepared to study its toxicity later.

Seeing this, many of the others also had the idea. They asked Jiang Liu for a bottle of wine, either to study it themselves or to send it back to their sect or family, in order to understand the toxic components and how it works on the body.

"Western poisons are truly bizarre."

After most people had left, Zhang Zhiwei spoke, addressing the remaining individuals: Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, Hong Guniang, Zhao Xinchuan, Boss Cha, Si Chong, Li Muxuan, Zhuge Yu, and Gao Huan. He said, "The 'poison' hidden in the worm-like intestinal wall seems to be alive. When I circulate my Qi, this poison penetrates the intestinal wall and shows a tendency to spread throughout the body..."

Lightning magic might be effective, and stimulating the meridians is fine, but directly stimulating the intestines with lightning magic...

I'm afraid I'll electrocute myself.
