Partly because I had venom from a spirit-grade O-gong, but more importantly, because Bini’s venom turned out to be exactly the kind he’d been searching for.
Though Bini looked reluctant as she handed over a sample of her venom, Yakseon took out a few acupuncture needles and dripped some into a vial he had.
The moment he observed it, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed joyfully:
“This is the exact venom I’ve been looking for! Stronger than a normal O-gong’s venom, and a much higher quantity!”
And that wasn’t even the end of it.
I had all kinds of venomous creatures in my care, which meant I possessed numerous unclassified substances with potential as future medicines.
Even better, I had knowledge—information and results that someone like him would go nuts over.
