Chapter 595: The Three Corpse Brain Holy Pill
Noticing Ren Woxing’s exaggerated reaction, Song Qingshu smiled faintly. “Father-in-law, you misunderstand. This antidote isn’t for me; it’s to detoxify Miss Zhao.”
“She’s been poisoned by the Three Corpse Brain Holy Pill?” Ren Woxing recalled Zhao Min’s frail appearance. He had assumed she was merely severely injured but hadn’t expected her to also be poisoned.
Ren Woxing felt a chill in his heart. After all, the Three Corpse Brain Holy Pill wasn’t an ordinary poison. Usually, only the leader of the Sun and Moon Sect possessed it. Could it be Dongfang Bubai’s doing?
Seeing Ren Woxing’s flickering gaze, Song Qingshu understood his thoughts and explained directly, “It was the so-called ‘Killer Physician,’ Ping Yizhi, who poisoned her…” He then provided a brief account of the incident, even revealing Ping Yizhi’s other identity.
“Murong Jingyue?” Ren Woxing’s expression turned grim as he realized he had been entirely unaware of this hidden figure in the sect. A chill ran down his spine.
“Back then, when I was crafting the Three Corpse Brain Holy Pill, I did seek his help. He must have deduced the refining method during that time,” Ren Woxing said, frowning deeply. “The formula for crafting the Three Corpse Brain Holy Pill and its antidote is known only to the successive leaders of the sect. The fact that this secret has leaked is a grave matter.”
Song Qingshu asked the pressing question, “Do you think your antidote could counteract the poison in Miss Zhao?”
Ren Woxing shook his head. “The Three Corpse Brain Holy Pill is refined using three types of corpse insects. There are countless such insects in the world, and each leader selects three according to personal preference to create their unique version of the pill. Different insects require different antidotes. Since Ping Yizhi is both a medical sage and a disciple of the Poison King, he would naturally use different corpse insects than I did. He might even have innovated further, making the antidote even more complex.”
Song Qingshu sighed deeply. “Even though I was prepared for this outcome before coming to Heimuya, I’m still disappointed to hear it.”
