Chapter 438: Detrimental Potion (1)
Shangguan Xiao laughed wildly internally. His previous loss against Shen Yanxiao was his most significant stumbling block, but he finally had the opportunity to return the favor. The potion that Pu Lisi had taught him the previous night was called the Concealed Poison Potion. It required 23 different types of medicinal ingredients with extreme toxic properties and three other components to stabilize it. Not only could the potion damage an herbalist’s five senses, but it would also cause irreversible damage to the user if it were consumed Luo Fan’s potion.
Those two potions could completely ruin any herbalist and end their path as an herbalist.
Shen Jue had sought death when he dared to challenge both of them to a challenge. He did not only have to face an Intermediate and an Advanced Herbalists, but he also had to worry about the Great Herbalist, Pu Lisi, who supported them from behind the scenes. Even if Shen Jue was talented, he could never compete against a Great Herbalist.
Shangguan Xiao did not only want Tang Nazhi expelled from the Herbalist Division, but he also wanted to remove Shen Jue from the equation!
Shangguan Xiao thought about his impending victory and, at the same time, carefully processed the medicinal ingredients in his hands. These medicinal ingredients would soon be the key to destroy Shen Jue!
As opposed to his ally, Luo Fan was much calmer. He had never regarded Shen Yanxiao as his rival, and the compet.i.tion was to sell Pu Lisi a favor and to display his capabilities in front of Ye Qing. Therefore, he was cautious with each step he took. He was also careful to ensure that he presented the best of his abilities to gain Ye Qing’s favor.
He thought that Shen Jue was merely an intermediate herbalist, and so he was not worried about the first-year student.
If it were a typical day, he would be too lazy even to focus his attention on such tras.h.!.+
Luo Fan had never lost, and so he did not antic.i.p.ate that he would lose that day.
Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan had finally finished processing their medicinal ingredients and had begun to make their potions.
Shen Yanxiao had only started to process the medicinal ingredients that she had chosen, and so she was a step slower than the two of her opponents.
However, she was not in a hurry as she completed each step as orderly as she could.
The three of them were busy with their tasks while the spectators switched their gaze back and forth between them.
The students from Saint Laurent Academy were all rooting for Shen Yanxiao. They no longer wanted to fail, nor wished to lose.
However, when they saw the huge difference between Shen Yanxiao and her opponents’ progress, they felt as if a huge stone had been pressed upon their hearts.
Selecting and processing medicinal ingredients was also a type of test for an herbalist. It was apparent that Shen Yanxiao was a step slower than everyone else. How could the students continue to believe that she could win the compet.i.tion?
Furthermore, Shen Yanxiao had to produce two potions during the match for Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan, respectively.
At the same time, she would have to drink the two potions that Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan made.
No one could predict the results if she were to drink both of the potions, but they knew that Shen Yanxiao’s life was at stake.
There had been numerous compet.i.tions between herbalists, but no one had dared to compete in such an extreme way.
Regardless of the result, they would always remember that brave and fearless first-year student.
