Chapter 294: Two hundred and ninety-four: An undetectable lethal poison
"Great Elder, what exactly happened to Elder Li Shan?"
Speaking was the Sixth Elder of the Jade Pot Sect, Su He, who was also a meridian master of the Medical Pulse line, mainly responsible for the affairs of the Outer Disciples or the fighting arenas. The last great competition among Outer Disciples was presided over by him.
Among the six Great Elders of the Jade Pot Sect, the Great Elder Lu Zhan, the Fourth Elder Li Shan, and the Sixth Elder Su He belonged to the Medical Pulse line. They all possessed a compassionate heart intent on saving and aiding the world.
As for the Second, Third, and Fifth Elders, they were from the Poison Vein line. The Jade Pot Sect’s Medical and Poison lines always stood against each other in equal measure, neither could suppress the other.
Especially after Elder Fu Du of the Poison Vein line had a breakthrough to the level of an Intermediate Meridian Refining Master of the Spiritual Rank, the slight advantage that the Medical Pulse line had was gone as well.
Hearing Su He’s question, Lu Zhan’s fingers, which were placed on Li Shan’s wrist pulse, finally released. After pondering for a long moment amid the expectant gazes of many Medical Pulse line powerhouses, he slowly shook his head.
"I can only detect that Elder Li Shan seems to have been poisoned by some kind of fire attribute toxin, but what exactly this toxin is, I cannot ascertain!"
As the Great Elder of the Medical Pulse line, Lu Zhan has always been pragmatic. His words caused the expressions of Su He and the others to darken somewhat.
However, if even the Great Elder, who is an Intermediate Meridian Refining Master of the Spiritual Rank, couldn’t figure out what kind of poison Li Shan was suffering from, it was pointless for them to embarrass themselves further. They all felt dejected.
Li Shan was a pillar of the Medical Pulse line; if he were to fall into a permanent coma because of such acute poisoning, it would be a huge loss to the Medical Pulse line. From then on, they might even be overshadowed by those old Poison Vein bastards.
