Chapter 69 Revelation of Skill (1/2)
A particular room located in the rear courtyard of the great general's residence.
When Zhou Yuan and the rest arrived, Wei Canglan and Wei Qingqing were already waiting. The two swiftly walked forward to welcome Zhou Yuan upon seeing him.
Wei Canglan then proceeded to ask with a smile, ”Your highness, will you be starting the treatment today?”
Zhou Yuan returned the smile and nodded. Without further ado, he walked into the house and arrived in front of the bed where Wei Bin was currently lying. His complexion looked much better than before, but Zhou Yuan knew that it was only because master Ying had forcibly suppressed the Devil Miasma Poison in Wei Bin's body. When the poison erupted once again, it would instantly take his life.
Zhou Yuan reached out and lightly tapped the black Universe bag at this waist. Before they left Great Zhou City, Zhou Qing had retrieved a Universe bag from the royal treasury and given it to Zhou Yuan. Although its grade was not very high, and the rather tiny s.p.a.ce within only extended to a few feet, it was still very convenient.
Several bottles appeared in Zhou Yuan's hand. Next, he retrieved a plate and very carefully dripped the liquid contents of the bottles onto it, beginning a process of modulation.
An appalling stench spread the moment the liquids emerged. A single whiff would cause one to feel giddy, clearly showing just how toxic the liquids were.
Although Wei Canglan and Wei Qingqing had antic.i.p.ated this, their expressions still changed.
Wei Qingqing bit her red lips and asked, ”Your highness, what do you plan on doing?”
Zhou Yuan grinned. ”The Devil Miasma Poison is extremely domineering. The only way to neutralize it is to find a master that can draw a grade 4 poison neutralizing Genesis Rune. However, I'm afraid that such masters are extremely rare in our Great Zhou Empire.”
”Hence, I will have to use another method.”
He paused at this point before continuing, ”Poison against poison.”
”As for the details, you two will have a first hand view later on. Please do not worry great general, I understand the consequences of this matter and would not have selected such a foolhardy method if I did not have any confidence.”
Zhou Yuan's voice was indifferent as he gazed straight at Wei Canglan.
Wei Canglan took one deep look at Zhou Yuan as he slowly said, ”Since your highness is confident, do what you must. If your highness is truly able to cure my son, my Wei family will owe you a huge debt of grat.i.tude.”
Zhou Yuan smiled, but did not speak any further and instead continued to adjust the vicious poisons. A long while later, he finally stopped when the horrifying smell reached its peak.
He unhooked the Heavenly Yuan Brush from his waist, and dabbed the brush tip on the poison concoction. After which, his expression grew serious as he took in a deep breath, before the brush tip slowly descended.
Yaoyao was already standing slightly behind Zhou Yuan. If anything unexpected happened, she would have to personally take action to save the situation.
Shch!
The brush that had been smeared in poison landed on Wei Bin's skin, causing 'shch' sound to be emitted as black strokes began to appear.
Zhou Yuan's wrist twisted and turned, the brush tip never stopping like flowing water and moving clouds, as stroke after stroke swiftly emerged.
Wei Canglan and Wei Qingqing began to frown as they stared at the strokes Zhou Yuan had drawn. Although they did not have in-depth knowledge of Genesis Runes, they were still able to tell that the rune Zhou Yuan was currently drawing was a grade 1 Genesis Rune.
A grade 1 Genesis Rune was practically useless against the Devil Miasma Poison.
Although their hearts were filled with doubt, it was not a good time for them to speak up as it would disturb Zhou Yuan. Hence, the two could only continue to watch in silence.
Zhou Yuan's full attention was on his work, ignoring everyone else's gazes. After completing the grade 1 Genesis Rune, his brush once again descended and another grade 1 Genesis Rune began to emerge…
In the subsequent hour, Zhou Yuan drew a total of eight grade 1 Genesis Runes.
”These eight grade 1 Genesis Runes… seem to have nicely surrounded the spot three inches above Wei Bin's tail bone.” Wei Canglan's eyes flashed when he finally made this discovery. The grade 1 Genesis Runes Zhou Yuan had inscribed were similar to a troop encirclement, tightly sealing off all escapes routes of the Devil Miasma Poison hidden in Wei Bin's spine area.
Zhou Yuan exhaled, his forehead now dotted with some perspiration after drawing eight grade 1 Genesis Runes in succession. He closed his eyes and rested a little before beginning once again.
This time, his expression was much more serious than before. The rune he was about to draw was the grade 2 Thousand Poisons Erosion Rune he had recently learnt. What's more, it was key with regards to dealing with the Devil Miasma Poison.
Zhou Yuan gathered his concentration for a moment, before his brush abruptly descended. His Spirit flickered between his brows as it seemed to fuse together with the Heavenly Yuan Brush in his hand.
Shsch shsch!
