Chapter 56
Inside the turtle-shaped figure at the end of the rainbow lay a fragment of a jade plaque, engraved with both medicinal script and mystical inscriptions.
The writing on the three-part jade plaque read:
[I have obtained the first piece under heaven.]
The elixir hidden alongside the jade fragment was known as the Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure.
Said to appear only once every hundred years, and only in the heart of the desert, this elixir was famed for its detoxifying properties.
It could neutralize any poison. And if consumed while not yet poisoned, and combined with a special internal technique, it could be used to master the Poison-Splitting Steel Aura, a rare martial art that could block any toxin.
Even setting aside its detoxifying or martial applications, simply consuming it could grant a tremendous surge of internal energy.
Because of this, the Tang Clan, which specialized in poisons and antidotes more than any other sect, considered it even more precious than the Great Return Pill.
After obtaining the Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure, the two returned directly to the Namgoong Clan.
By the time they arrived, night had fallen.
