Poor chefs didn’t even have a chance to catch their breath when they heard Su Qian’s words. Each of them was scared out of their wits, crying and wailing, emitting pitiful cries.

Su Qian couldn’t help but frown when she heard this. “Stop howling. I didn’t say it couldn’t be cured.”

Everyone present knew Su Qian, so they were well aware that this enchanting and beautiful woman was their only savior. If they angered her, it wouldn’t do them any good.

Everyone obediently shut their mouths and looked at Su Qian nervously. No one knew what she was going to do next.

Choosing the apprentice with the deepest poisoning, Su Qian walked up to the apprentice who wasn’t yet fifteen or sixteen, and carefully checked his condition.

The apprentice’s eyes welled up with helpless tears, choking as he looked at Su Qian. “Please, save me, save me…”

“Don’t worry.” As Su Qian spoke, she sat beside the apprentice and raised her hand to take the apprentice’s pulse.

No one present dared to disturb Su Qian. They all obediently waited for Su Qian to speak.

After carefully checking the apprentice’s pulse, Su Qian snorted. “Indeed, it’s Bone Eroding.:

“Bone Eroding? Is that the poison among them?” Qing Zhu hurriedly asked.

“That’s right. Bone Eroding is the name of a potent toxin. Anyone who ingests this toxicant will experience vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding from the mouth and nose, and eruption of rashes all over the body. They will be extremely itchy and unbearable until they bleed from their seven orifices, succumbing to the pain and itching to death. The bones of those who were poisoned by this toxicant will turn pitch black, hence the name ‘Bone Eroding.'” Su Qian retracted her hand and said unsurprisingly, “When Yan Chen described the symptoms of the poisoned individuals earlier, I had a feeling it was Bone Eroding, but I didn’t expect that I was right.”

“Is there anything special about this poison?” Qing Zhu asked as she looked at Su Qian uneasily.

“The most distinctive feature of this poison is that it is said to be incurable. It is colorless and tasteless, usually only detected after the person is already poisoned. By that time, the poisoning is often severe, and there’s no cure. So, this poison is often used for assassinations. Among seventh-grade toxicants, it is quite formidable.” Su Qian lowered her phoenix-like eyes to hide the killing intent that flashed across her eyes.

She thought, “This was interesting.”

Such a toxicant is not something an ordinary person can easily obtain. If it weren’t for the fact that the poisoned food was relatively abundant, diluting the toxicant to some extent, the people poisoned in Tianji Sect wouldn’t have survived until now.

As she just mentioned, this toxicant was used for assassinations. If the person who poisoned the food targeted the elders of Tianji Sect, they wouldn’t have given the elders a chance to linger on, let alone place the toxicant in so much food, causing it to be diluted and the effects weakened.

From the looks of it, the original objective of the person who poisoned the food might not have been the people of Tianji Sect…

While Su Qian was deep in thought, everyone was stunned by what she said.

Especially those chefs, they all had looks of despair on their faces. At this moment, their faces couldn’t even muster the tears of pain. “So, does that mean we are all doomed?”

A seventh-grade toxicant, and an incurable one at that. They were poisoned by such a potent toxin, did it not mean they were left with no option but a path leading to death?

Su Qian blinked when she heard this. “Of course not. I can cure this poison..”
