My Crazy Upgrade System

Chapter 315: Chapter 314: Rapid Analysis

"Ancestor, how are you feeling now..."

After the Spirit Race Ancestor was set down, he could still look at them with a peaceful gaze, which was already quite a feat.

"I’m fine. You should all leave this place quickly. If you continue to stay here and get discovered, it will be troublesome..." The Ancestor’s words were intermittent and weak. It was already amazing that he could speak at all.

If it were any other Cultivator, they would have been dead long ago. The Spirit Race Ancestor’s ability to hold on for so long was related to his cultivation and Spiritual Power; otherwise, he would have died long ago.

"But, Ancestor, you..." How could Ye Qingxuan possibly leave the Ancestor behind?

"I’m already at my limit. It’s useless to save me. Just give me a quick end now. That way, I can at least die with some dignity." The Ancestor gave a kind smile.

He felt he was on the verge of death. After being tortured for so long, the deadly poison was already deeply rooted. Even if he got out, he probably wouldn’t live for much longer.

"How is that possible? We just need to find a good Alchemist to remove this poison!" Ye Qingxuan shook her head. She couldn’t bear to abandon this respected and venerable Ancestor.

"This is a special Poison Pill from the Netherworld Empire. It’s basically incurable. The formula is extremely strict, and there’s no known way to detoxify it..." The Ancestor shook his head. The Pill Formula for this kind of Poison Pill was usually held by the most crucial figures, making it extremely difficult to retrieve.

"This..." Ye Qingxuan’s eyes immediately reddened. This Ancestor had always taken great care of her; he was already like her own family. How could she just give up on him like this?

"Right, that’s it! Feng Wuyun must have an Antitoxic Pill on him!" She quickly got up, went over to Feng Wuyun, found his Storage Ring, and took it off. Then, she rapidly rummaged through the Storage Ring, searching for an Antitoxic Pill.

Soon, she found an Antitoxic Pill, but it wasn’t one that could completely eliminate the poison. Instead, it was an Antitoxic Pill for temporary relief, and there was only one left.

"Hahaha... You want an Antitoxic Pill? Impossible! You think that’s the Antitoxic Pill? That’s just *my* Antitoxic Pill. This old codger is as good as dead..." The heavily injured Feng Wuyun let out a wretched laugh. He knew he was doomed to die, but he didn’t want them to have it easy either.

This Antitoxic Pill he carried was actually for Feng Wuyun’s own use—a temporary antidote for control-type Poison Pills. It was clear that Feng Wuyun was also being controlled and wasn’t fully trusted.

"Speak! Where is the real Antitoxic Pill!" Ye Qingxuan grabbed Feng Wuyun, demanding he reveal its location.

"COUGH COUGH COUGH... The real Pill Formula for the antidote is with the National Preceptor. Go and snatch it if you have the guts, hahaha... Otherwise, this old codger is a dead man." Feng Wuyun didn’t hesitate to reveal the secret at all, precisely because he wanted them to go to their deaths!

One could only imagine how powerful the National Preceptor was. He was definitely a more formidable existence than General Long. If they rashly went to seize the Pill Formula, it would be a suicide mission. Moreover, the National Preceptor usually stayed in the Netherworld Imperial City, the most heavily guarded place. Coupled with the National Preceptor’s extreme power, it was truly like a lamb walking into a tiger’s den.

"Don’t worry. Let me see what kind of poison it is." Yi Tianyun took a bit of blood from the Ancestor’s wound and began to analyze the poison within using his Eye of Investigation. Soon, the components of the poison were rapidly analyzed one by one.

This situation was the same as with Mansion Master Li before. They were both afflicted with a deadly poison, and after he analyzed it with his Eye of Investigation, he would be able to concoct a perfect Antitoxic Pill.

However, not long into the analysis, a message popped up.

"Ding! Unable to analyze poison..."

’This...’ Yi Tianyun instantly knew that this poison was quite difficult and couldn’t be analyzed easily. He feared it involved relatively high-grade Spirit Medicines, making it impossible for the Eye of Investigation to analyze.

’Upgrade Eye of Investigation!’

He chose to upgrade the Eye of Investigation without hesitation. Currently, the Eye of Investigation was only at the second level; it was necessary to upgrade it.

"Ding! Consumed 500,000 Madness Value. Successfully upgraded Eye of Investigation to Level 3. The next level requires 10,000,000 Madness Value!"

"Ding! Eye of Investigation upgraded to Level 3. Added detailed information on professions and races. Analysis level for Martial Arts, Divine Runes, Grand Arrays, and Elixir Pills has been raised. Investigation speed increased by 100%!"

After successfully upgrading the Eye of Investigation, both its speed and recognition rate shot up instantly.

"Ding! Successfully identified the poison’s effects. Poison Pill Name: ’Soul-Devouring Pill’. Materials are as follows: one tael of Love Flower, two taels of Human-Faced Grass, one tael of Heart-Eroding Grass..."

The components were analyzed one by one at an astonishing speed. More detailed data was presented before his eyes, allowing him to know the entire formula.

"Good, I generally understand now." Yi Tianyun nodded, then quickly took out the Purple Fire Divine Furnace and prepared to begin Alchemy.

Although the situation was urgent, treating the Ancestor’s deadly poison was even more pressing. They would have to keep moving later, and the Ancestor wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.

He rummaged for a bit and quickly found some of the Spirit Medicines he needed. He couldn’t say his collection of assorted Spirit Medicines was complete, but at least some of them were a match.

’I only have a small portion of what’s needed. I’ll refine a temporary relief pill first to make the Ancestor a bit more comfortable.’ Yi Tianyun took out a pile of Spirit Medicines, tossed them all inside, and activated Crazy Alchemy Mode. His Alchemy speed immediately skyrocketed.

A short while later, he had successfully refined the Elixir Pill.

"It’s ready." Yi Tianyun took the Antitoxic Pill from the Purple Fire Divine Furnace and handed it to Ye Qingxuan, saying, "Give this to the Ancestor. It’s for temporary relief, as I don’t have enough Spirit Medicines to create a true antidote. After we get back, I’ll completely clear out the poison in the Ancestor’s body!"

"Impossible! How could you know the Pill Formula... Did you just randomly concoct something? Hahaha, if it’s a randomly concocted Antitoxic Pill, not only will it fail to save this old codger, it’ll kill him instead!" Even though he was heavily injured and couldn’t move, Feng Wuyun, who was off to the side, didn’t forget to taunt them.

Ye Qingxuan didn’t hesitate. She took the Elixir Pill and had the Ancestor swallow it.

The Ancestor didn’t say anything and just swallowed it. He was going to die anyway, so what if this was just a desperate, last-ditch effort?

After the Ancestor took the pill, his complexion rapidly improved. The black qi on his body began to recede, and the violent trembling that wracked his body finally subsided.

"I feel much better. The feeling of my soul being torn apart has lessened quite a bit..." This wasn’t just empty talk; you could hear it in his tone, which had become very steady.

Feng Wuyun, at the side, was dumbfounded. He never expected it to actually work!

"Good, as long as there are no problems. Qingxuan, get ready to escape with the Ancestor. I’ll clear the way!" Yi Tianyun said in a deep voice.

From this point on, the truly difficult part would begin. If they ran into General Long and his ilk here, it would be hard for them to fight their way out. He himself would be fine, but he was afraid the other members of the Spirit Race wouldn’t be able to run fast enough.
