Chapter 118: Swallowing Worms Alive: The Weird Poison Identifying Pill
“This Poison Earthworm’s level is too low. There wouldn’t be this reaction if you could find one at the third level,” Zi Shang said coolly. He had already provided a solution, yet he was still blamed for not finding the right thing.
“Are you sure that there’s a third-level Poison Earthworm in this world?” Ye Jiuge had already asked the people from the medicine store, and they said that the Poison Earthworm’s lifespan was only 15 days so that they couldn’t advance.
“I’ve seen it in the demonic race,” Zi Shang offered mysteriously.
However, that Poison Earthworm had advanced to the third level after obtaining a remarkable opportunity. Finding one in such a lowly place as the Lei Kingdom would indeed be impossible.
“Demonic race… why didn’t you just say the Celestial race?” Ye Jiuge rolled her eyes.
Zi Shang wouldn’t admit that his idea was impractical. After thinking for a bit, he said, “Actually, you can use this worm in another way.”
“What way?” asked Ye Jiuge.
“Make that Imperial Consort Xi swallow the worm. It will wriggle inside her stomach as soon as she encounters poison. After spitting the poison out, the chances of her being poisoned will be lessened.”
Zi Shang thought this was a good idea. Although Poison Earthworms had a short lifespan, they were cheap, so it was easy to keep eating them. One every 15 days wasn’t a problem.
