The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1746: Chapter 1746: How About We Join Forces?

”Five Poisons Hall, is it powerful?”

After listening in, Carson Flores quietly asked Edward Miller. Though he was new to the area and had read some material about the Heavenly Profound Continent, he figured someone who lived here would be more knowledgeable.

Edward replied, ”Overall strength isn’t impressive, but they have a big reputation. First, because of their mastery with poison, and second, because the founder of the Five Poisons Hall, Five Poisons Elder, is a notorious old monster, a Peak Heavenly Immortal, whose skill with poison is unparalleled. Even Peak Heavenly Immortals and Immortal Monarchs usually avoid provoking him.”

Carson understood instantly.

When combat power is lacking, poison fills the gap. Even if you’re stronger, you have to constantly be wary of their poison. If your strengths are close, the fight could be even more disadvantageous.

This is probably why no one wants to mess with the Five Poisons Hall.

Can’t beat you? Poison you. Can’t poison you? Make your life miserable!

”Brother Chu, what do you plan to do?”

Edward smiled, ”Now that we’re here, naturally we should go down and have a look. Let’s first test the effectiveness of the Detoxification Pills we brought. Would you like one?”

Carson responded, ”I have a Detoxification Pill.”

Previously, Carson had received a piece of Buddha Heart Wood from the Eastflow Ancestor, then he gathered the materials and refined a batch of Buddha Heart Pills.

The Buddha Heart Pill can’t enhance one’s power but can neutralize all poisons in the world—it is the Holy Grade among Detoxification Pills.

Though this miasma sounds formidable, he estimated that the Buddha Heart Pill should either neutralize or prevent poisoning.

Edward nodded, ”Then let’s head down and give it a try. If it doesn’t work, we need to retreat quickly; no need to be overconfident.”

”Alright!”

The two each took a Detoxification Pill and descended into the Grey Mist Sea along the mountain.

When viewed from above, the Grey Mist Sea seemed unfathomable and visibility was low. However, once they entered, visibility was at least dozens of meters, which gave both a sigh of relief.

If they couldn’t see in the Misty Sea, how could they search?

They flew a distance and descended to the lowest point of the mountain. Here the mist thickened, the light dimmed, and the air was faintly filled with a disquieting stench.

Edward suddenly halted, raising his right hand to his temple, ”Damn!”

Carson turned his head and asked, ”What’s wrong?”

Edward said in a deep voice, ”This poison in the miasma is far more aggressive than I anticipated. The Detoxification Pill I took can’t block it; my head is already starting to swell. We should retreat right away, or the poisoning will be difficult to treat.”

Carson assessed himself and found everything was fine. Though some unknown toxin seemed to be trying to interfere with his body, the medicinal potency of the Buddha Heart Pill inside him promptly expelled the interference.

Truly the Holy Medicine that can cure all poisons!

Carson took out a Buddha Heart Pill and handed it to Edward, ”Take one.”

Edward took the Buddha Heart Pill, glanced at it, and his eyes lit up immediately, ”Is this the Buddha Heart Pill that can cure all poisons?”

Carson nodded, ”Yes.”

Edwards’ gaze became rather complex.

The Detoxification Pill he took couldn’t compare to the Buddha Heart Pill, so he couldn’t withstand the toxins in the miasma, yet Carson was unaffected.

The Buddha Heart Pill is indeed the Holy Medicine for detoxification. Though not difficult to refine, its main ingredient, Buddha Heart Wood, is very rare.

A single Buddha Heart Pill can save a life at a critical moment!

”This pill is too valuable!”

Carson smiled, ”Elixirs are meant to be consumed, and now is the right time to use it—quick, take it. The longer you wait, the deeper the poison will settle.”

Edward gritted his teeth and accepted the pill, ”Brother Lin, consider me in your debt.”

Carson smiled, ”Forget it. You gifted me the Dragon’s Chant, and I never said I owed you. Among friends, let’s not be petty.”

”That’s different. I broke your sword; compensation was owed!”

Edward replied, then realized that compared to Carson, he indeed seemed less straightforward. Without hesitation, he popped the Buddha Heart Pill into his mouth, laughing, ”You’re not afraid I’ll compete with you for the Seven-colored Rhinoceros Horn by giving me a Detoxification Pill?”

Carson smiled, ”Just think of me as too weak, seeking an alliance with a strong partner. Otherwise, how could I handle the disciples of the Five Poisons Hall alone?”

Edward scoffed at Carson’s words, too weak?

Even the infamous Bai-faced Owl could only startle you but couldn’t harm you, and you call yourself weak?

”Alright, let’s join forces. If we’re lucky enough to get the Seven-colored Rhinoceros Horn, how about we split it evenly?”

”Agreed!”

The Seven-colored Rhinoceros Horn needed for refining the Nine Revolutions Great Land Pill requires only a small amount, less than it takes to make ten batches of Nine Revolutions Great Land Pill with one full horn. So, even if they split it, it’s more than enough!

If not for Edward mentioning the Rainbow Jade Rhinoceros, Carson wouldn’t have known about it—he owed a debt of gratitude here. Edward’s gift of the Dragon’s Chant, despite being compensation, was also a favor. So Carson offered the Buddha Heart Pill without hesitation.

Moreover, Edward has an Innate Taoist Body and Sword Spirit Body, with Golden Immortal power; his potential combat power is formidable.

Joining forces with Edward is a huge win for himself.
