Martial Arts: I Have Diligence Reward System

The Yangxiang Race Martial Artist plotted against by Su Yue is named Lan Wei.

Although Lan Wei is a fifth rank, he is like a Qi and Blood Martial Artist from the human race, without any knowledge of battle techniques, and has never even set foot on the battlefield, which is why he was easily schemed against by Su Yue.

He is an alchemy genius and thus recruited by City Lord Hei Qi.

Unfortunately, despite his alchemical talent, he couldn't be considered top-notch. Even though he's been at Nine Beasts Mountain, he has never spoken with the Divine Elder because he is too insignificant, a mere small invisible presence, utterly unqualified.

This time transporting corpses, also happened because he was weak and thus bullied.

At Nine Beasts Mountain, Lan Wei lacks presence and his talents go unnoticed.

Precisely because his presence was too weak, even escaping from Nine Beasts Mountain went smoothly for him.

The guards assumed he was out procuring supplies.

The Yangxiang Race members in the secret chamber thought he went strolling in Mao Yao City.

Yet, who could have guessed that Lan Wei constantly endured severe head pain, and during security check by the guards, he relied upon the Paralysis Pill he commonly refined.

But regrettably, the effect of the Paralysis Pill was limited, unable to suppress the Frost Vine Insect.

"Hong Guo is mysterious and secretive, what exactly is his purpose?"

Arriving at the location designated by Su Yue, Lan Wei found a place to hide.

Lan Wei was just easy to overlook, but he wasn't stupid, he was full of cunning plans and a quick thinker.

The identity of Hong Guo was discussed among the Yangxiang Race members in the secret chamber.

However, no conclusions were made; it was generally believed that Hong Guo's talent was strong enough to attract the Divine Elder's attention.

Still, some believed Hong Guo's identity was unusual, otherwise, the Divine Elder wouldn't be so courteous.

Lan Wei leaned towards the latter.

He also felt Hong Guo's identity was extraordinary, knowing even the agent of the Divine Elder wouldn't dare shout at a Grandmaster, yet Hong Guo ignored even an eighth-rank City Lord.

Is this something ordinary people would dare to do?

This time, Hong Guo even purposely exposed him to the poison of the Frost Vine Insect.

He undoubtedly had special motives.

"Damn it, the poison of the Frost Vine Insect will follow the Martial Artist for a lifetime, if I cannot detoxify, my life is over.

"Why am I so unlucky... hiss, my head hurts... "

Lan Wei swallowed another Paralysis Pill, but unfortunately, its effect wasn't strong.

He lay under the tree root, muttering to himself, seemingly attempting to distract himself through self-speech.

"Not necessarily unlucky, or perhaps it's an opportunity?"

Just then, Su Yue's voice emerged from behind Lan Wei.

"Greetings, Young Master!"

Upon seeing Su Yue, Lan Wei immediately knelt.

Finally, he's here.

Whether Hong Guo has a way to detoxify, I'm really reaching my limit.

"What is your name? What is your responsibility in the secret chamber? What abilities do you possess?"

Su Yue asked with a somber face.

He had already developed the antidote's formulation, but many problems remained.

Firstly, the shelf life.

A single pill cannot succeed with just two simple auxiliary ingredients.

The idea of Purple Soup is promising.

Silver Thread Ants and White Rot Root indeed provoke a peculiar reaction to the Frost Vine Insect's poison.

But unfortunately, Silver Thread Ants and White Rot Root are also toxic.

Su Yue formulated a pill but it could only be considered a mud pellet.

It lacked almost any stability.

An array of side effects, the aptitude of the Purple Soup was frozen, possibly a residual effect from White Rot Root.

Su Yue is not adept at alchemy; all he could manage was basic detoxification.

Therefore, Su Yue needed a professional to assist.

The Yangxiang Race member before him might be a professional.

"Subordinate Lan Wei, an Alchemist under Divine Elder's command, though a fifth rank, I'm a Qi and Blood Martial Artist, my sole skill lies in researching the principles of pill formulae."

Lan Wei kneeled and said bluntly.

Maybe it's a hallucination, but Lan Wei constantly felt this Hong Guo was enigmatic, even beyond the Divine Elder.

The sensation is absurd.

"Ugh... Pain, so painful..."

Just as the voice faded, an intense pain struck again for Lan Wei, he couldn't even maintain his kneeling posture, falling directly into the mud, his face turning purple, trembling incessantly.

"Swallow this pill."

Su Yue flicked his fingers, sending the unfinished Detoxification Pill into Lan Wei's mouth.

Subsequently, Su Yue anxiously observed Lan Wei.

Grumble!

As expected, within a little over ten seconds, Lan Wei spat out a mouthful of black blood.

He suddenly calmed down.

The poison… was resolved.

Although there surely would be aftereffects, Su Yue could confirm, the Frost Vine Insect's poison was completely eradicated.

The toxicity of Silver Thread Ants combined with White Rot Root is absolutely more overpowering than the Frost Vine Insect's poison.

"Young Master... I've detoxified, I actually detoxified."

After a shake, Lan Wei stood up vibrantly, now exuding an aura of renewed vigor to Su Yue.

"You are a Pill Master, immediately inspect for any lingering aftereffects within you,"

Su Yue asked solemnly.

He wasn't afraid of any trickery from Lan Wei, with such Qi and Blood Martial Artists, Su Yue could finish them in ten moves.

"Young Master, please wait a moment!"

Lan Wei indeed proved himself a professional Pill Master.

He found a slightly dry branch to sit on and proceeded to self-examine.

It didn't take long, maybe about twenty minutes.

"Young Master, your pill contains numerous residual toxins, half of my Qi Acupoint was destroyed and my foundation is ruined.

"Although the Frost Vine Insect's poison is detoxified, in this lifetime, I cannot cultivate any amount of Qi Blood ever again."

Lan Wei answered truthfully.

However, his eyes betrayed no trace of despair.

The so-called aftereffects didn't matter much.

Being a Qi and Blood Martial Artist, regardless of his foundations, this lifetime was set.
