By the time I arrived at the Tang Clan, night had already fallen.
I had been working since morning, dealing with tasks, and even succeeded in completing the Dokcheon Pill. While it felt like much had been accomplished, further research on the pill was still necessary.
Naturally, this was expected.
Even though the pill was technically completed, I needed to account for various scenarios.
However, despite the favorable result, the process had not been smooth.
â...Cough!â
Thud, thud! Blood spilled onto the floor. Enough to dampen it slightly. It wasnât my blood.
I approached the man who had collapsed from exhaustion and placed my hand on his back.
Wuuuuungâ! I untangled the knotted energy within him and examined his internal state.
As expected, stagnant tainted energy had gathered again.
Though the amount wasnât significant, the fact that this much had accumulated in just one day was considerable.
It was proof that he had overused his internal energy.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
I stabilized his energy flow and removed the tainted energy.
The Poison Kingâs breathing immediately calmed down.
âHaaah... Hoooo...â
âAre you all right?â
â...Thank you.â
âItâs nothing. Iâm glad I could help.â
The Poison King staggered to his feet. His face was etched with exhaustion.
It was no surprise.
Expelling that much energy in such a short time could easily lead to Qi Deviation if mishandled.
Whooshâ!
I flicked my hand to burn away the tainted energy I had removed from him. The flames crackled as a faint, foul stench wafted into the air.
Seeing this, the Poison King looked at me with a peculiar expression and asked,
âI was curious about this earlier as well.â
âYes?â
