Chapter 438: Chapter 439 New Version of Detoxification Pill
While Su Tang may not have used the old Detoxification Pill much, she nonetheless remembered that it could counter any poison.
But now, this new version of the Detoxification Pill only counters over a hundred different types of poisons?
Even though it still sounds impressive, it’s nowhere near as cost-effective as the old version! 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
The System’s screen flickered.
[Ding! Due to a rise in prices, the cost of producing the Detoxification Pill has increased. In order to maintain the original price, adjustments had to be made to the formula.]
After reading the explanation, Su Tang pursed her lip indignantly.
’You sure are a wily System, aren’t you!’
[Ding! Yingtao Company appreciates your compliment and wishes you a pleasant use!]
However, since the Detoxification Pill could counter the poison in Hai Qin’s body, she wouldn’t need to exert extra effort.
A Detoxification Pill only cost a hundred Exchange Points, but treating Hai Qin had consumed a thousand Exchange Points, plus an opportunity to use the Intermediate Survival Questions.
Su Tang grumbled over the significant cost.
After receiving the Detoxification Pill, she turned to Hai Qin, who still had his eyes closed, his hand resting on the round table.
Remembering the Crystal Stones, Su Tanged sighed.
She had overheard Hai Qin’s conversation with Duke Wen earlier; he had returned because the king of the Ten Thousands Beast Country coveted the Crystal Stones, and he seemed quite angry about it.
The Ten Thousands Beast Country wanted the Crystal Stones to open the Wood Immortal Mansion. While they might have different goals, she also needed to go there.
Even if she bluntly asked to borrow them, would Hai Qin agree, especially after she had helped cure his poison?
Gaiyin and the others once deliberated about using this as a threat, promising to cure Hai Qin’s poison once he had handed over the Crystal Stones. However, this idea was quickly dismissed.
Hai Qin didn’t seem like the type to respond well to threats, and it was unclear if he would be swayed by soft tactics. Still, if they confronted him directly, the eventual outcome might just backfire.
So, rather than causing discord on both sides, it was better to cure him first, owing Taoyuan a favor. If he still refused to lend them the Crystal Stones later, they could look for another solution.
Su Tang breathed out lightly, whispering, "Abe, it’s ready."
Hai Qin slowly opened his eyes.
Besides feeling the maiden’s hand on his wrist at the beginning, he hadn’t felt anything else.
Looking at her placid face now, Hai Qin felt a bit empty inside.
He nodded at Su Tang, "Thank you for your effort. What have you discovered?"
Su Tang didn’t hesitate and opened her palm to reveal a simple wooden box.
She silently admonished herself for complaining about the cost reduction of the pill formula, only now realizing that even the packaging had been downsized significantly. How high had the prices risen?
"I got this antidote from the Holy Temple for you. Once you consume it, the residual poison in your body will gradually dissolve within three days."
Hai Qin looked at the wooden box in astonishment, too shocked to say anything.
Su Tang gestured with her hand, "Take it. The sooner you ingest it, the sooner the poison in your body will dissolve."
Hai Qin gazed at the Detoxifying Pill without moving.
Understanding washed over Su Tang, "Are you scared that this pill is poisoned? How about this, you get your Doctor to examine this antidote. Once it’s confirmed to be safe, you can consume it. Since there’s only one antidote, I can’t test it for you."
As she spoke, Su Tang moved towards the door, seemingly intending to summon the mermaids’ Doctor.
Hai Qin’s eyes flashed, and he quickly said, "Wait!"
