Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System-Chapter 242 The Strongest Poison

"Forget about it. I'll just explain to you the fundamentals," the purple-colored flame said, giving up hope for Yang Lujia's dull brain. "You're smart, but you're actually this dumb. How did you cultivate to this point? Never mind, never mind… anyway…"

Yang Lujia found out that the longer he had been with this flame, the more he found this flame peculiar. He was speechless at what it had just said to him just now.

However, Yang Lujia just let him be. He was also curious.

Could his shallow knowledge about poisons be very useless in this world?

"Poisons are like parasites that would invade someone's body. They would either slowly consume someone's vitality or directly kill them in one breath. In this world, poisons are feared by several cultivation practitioners like you. They're very detrimental to your growth. It's like a disease that would never be removed without an antidote.

"As for the antidotes, some would use pills, pellets, or elixirs to remove the poison or destroy the person within the person's body. However, some were very powerful that could eliminate the poison without breaking a sweat.

"And one fundamental pre-requisite in order to eliminate a poison with just strength alone was to use the fusion of the rules of life and the rules of flame. Your Life-Flame rules are something that's filled with vitality and intensity—very fitting since I reckon that you don't know any pill refining as well… Hahaha…"

While Yang Lujia was not at all surprised by what the purple-colored flame said, his eyes went wide when he heard its last sentence. How did this little brat of a flame know that he could not do refining pills?

And what was with that face of his? Was he trying to mock him? 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

No matter how infuriated Yang Lujia, however, he forced himself to remain calm. Nonetheless, he vowed to himself that he would do all his best to try and practice alchemy. He would then brag this to this purple-colored brat of a flame.

"Enough of that. I now know about the fundamentals of poison. What shall I do next?"

"No, you have to wait first. This involves your second test," the purple-colored flame said, once again, changing its own tone to a solemn one.

"It looks like he's getting serious now," Yang Lujia said as he sighed in his heart.

Finally, this purple-colored flame would now explain to him the second test. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

"The second test involves the strongest poison… it is the strongest type of poison that His Highness, your father, had encountered before. In fact, it could be said to be the reason for him to birth Life-Flame at that time…" the purple-colored flame said, not intending to hide anything from Yang Lujia.

"However, that poison was very strong that it almost rendered His Highness dead. Although I didn't personally see it, it looks like His Highness really tried hard when I talked to him," it continued.

"What? You can actually talk to my father?"

"Of course, I can. What do you count me as? I can even talk to you now. You're really dumb! Unless it's a type of flame that was at the apex of the hierarchy, a flame couldn't talk to people like this. Even Life-Flame is still lacking compared to me," the purple-colored flame, boasting for himself.

Yang Lujia was once again stunned. This purple-colored flame knew no shame. However, he suppressed the dissatisfaction he had in his heart and attentively listened to what the flame was going to say, especially regarding that poison.

"His Highness told me that that poison could erode the other weaker rules. Therefore, His Highness only needed a higher type of rule to subdue this poison. However, the other types of flames he comprehended were not enough to subdue the poison. Only something that's the poison's nemesis could actually burn that poison. He could also not freeze such poison as that poison would not be totally annihilated.

"Since His Highness had not comprehended the rules of destruction or the rules of disintegration, both of which are higher types of rules, His Highness went for the easiest rules to comprehend. By standard, the fusion of the rules of life and flames was the easiest among the higher types of rules when combined."

When Yang Lujia heard the purple-colored flame's explanation, he was somewhat enlightened. "Then, what is the name of this poison that even father had trouble dealing with?"

"Aren't you too excited?" the purple-colored flame asked, its tone condescending.

'This fellow is really arrogant.'

Yang Lujia really didn't know what kind of flame the purple-colored flame was. However, instincts told him that the purple-colored flame was the hardest to comprehend among those six which he believed his father had comprehended when he was still here in Da Shikong.

"Naturally," Yang Lujia replied.

"Hmph! At least you're an honest and straightforward fellow!"

"Say it," said Yang Lujia, his voice as if commanding.

"Putting on airs! Of course, this esteemed purple flame will tell you about the poison, because this esteemed purple flame had no other choice!" it replied as it locked its gaze on Yang Lujia. Although it had no eyes, it could vividly see the image of Yang Lujia, much less his eyes.

"This poison hailed by your father as the strongest poison in this realm, Da Shikong, is something that cannot be taken lightly. According to him, if it were not for him comprehending the rules of life-flame, he would have already been corroded by time," the purple-colored flame replied, its tone becoming solemn once more.

"What's its name?"

Yang Lujia was really itching to know the name of this poison.

"This poison has the characteristics to erode someone's vitality bit by bit and ironically by large margins. Fortunately, His Highness' strength at that time was adequate to temporarily suspend the time for the poison to work. If not, His Highness would have already perished."

Seeing the agitated look on Yang Lujia's face, the purple-colored flame knew that this kid was really adamant about knowing the poison's name.

"His Highness didn't know the name of the poison himself. However, he saw something similar to it in a book in this realm. He didn't know that this poison, which most of the cultivators deemed as only a legend, would be real…

"This poison is a poison comparable to a Heaven-Ranked Elixir's effects, very detrimental to a mere peak Saint Emperor… it is also in the form of a flower… this poison deemed as the strongest poison is called… the Flower Of Catastrophe!"
