Chapter 1510: Resistance
Instead of leading them away from this pavilion, Xiao Mu suddenly asked something.
"Can you test something for me?"
Lin Fan’s first reaction was to reveal a bitter smile as he remembered how he had ’tested’ things for Xiao Mu earlier. But when he saw the way that Xiao Mu looked at them, he could tell that Xiao Mu wasn’t asking him alone.
It seemed like Xiao Mu was asking both of them to test something for it.
Ye Qing Huan was naturally curious what Xiao Mu wanted them to test, but it didn’t seem like she was against this. She was supportive of Xiao Mu regardless of what Xiao Mu wanted to do.
However, that didn’t mean that she would just do whatever Xiao Mu wanted.
Xiao Mu didn’t seem like it wanted to tell them what it was thinking at first, but then it said, "I want to test a few poisons on you."
Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan weren’t surprised to hear this since there wasn’t anything else that Xiao Mu could have asked them for.
It was just that if it really came to testing the poison, just Lin Fan alone would have been enough. There was no reason for Xiao Mu to have Ye Qing Huan test the poison as well unless there was something special about the poisons that it wanted to give them.
Ye Qing Huan just calmly said, "Let’s see them."
Xiao Mu nodded before taking a few bottles out.
These weren’t poisons that Xiao Mu had crafted, but rather bottles that he had gotten from this place. Only it did seem like they had been tampered with to a certain extent since the seals had been removed.
It seemed like there was something that Xiao Mu wanted to achieve with these poisons.
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at the bottles of poison after Xiao Mu took them out.
However, he didn’t really see much with his Appraisal Eyes.
From his description that his Appraisal Eyes gave him, he could see that these were basic types of poison. It wasn’t as if there was any strong reaction that would be caused from drinking these things.
However, they were different from the ones that Xiao Mu had wanted to test before.
These were actual harmful poisons that would harm them if they drank them. They didn’t have a mild reaction like causing them to break out in laughter or break out in tears like the other poisons.
One was coagulating the blood inside of a person.
One was for destroying their lungs from the inside out.
There were many kinds of poisons that all had the effect of killing a person.
So why did Xiao Mu suddenly want them to test this.
Ye Qing Huan could see from the look on Lin Fan’s face that there was something different about the poisons that Xiao Mu offered them. However, she only hesitated for a second before taking one and drinking it.
As soon as she drank it, the poison already started having an effect on her.
It didn’t take long for Ye Qing Huan to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Lin Fan knitted his brows seeing this, but then he gave a sigh when he saw the way that Ye Qing Huan looked at him. Seeing this look from her, he took one of the bottles of poison and drank it as well.
The moment that he drank it, he could feel it having an effect on him.
He could feel the pain that came from all over his body.
There was this throbbing pain that came from inside of him as his blood vessels started clogging up. It was as if there was something that was being pushed up against all of his blood vessels at the same time.
However, it didn’t take long before he felt that this sensation disappeared.
He could see that it was the same for Ye Qing Huan as the blood stopped coming out of her mouth.
The way that they stopped experiencing the symptoms of the poisons that they injected wasn’t because they had resisted it with their spiritual energy. Instead, it was as if their body had naturally adapted to the poison that they drank.
It wasn’t the kind of adaptation that came naturally from the body’s defenses, but rather it was the kind of adaptation that one might experience if they had been injected with a vaccine.
Once her body’s state returned to normal, Ye Qing Huan reached out towards another bottle of poison.
But before she could take it, Xiao Mu said, "Not that one."
Xiao Mu looked at the bottles that it was holding for a moment before picking one out for Ye Qing Huan.
Ye Qing Huan raised a brow in response, but seeing that Xiao Mu wasn’t going to explain what it meant by this, she just drank that bottle of poison.
The reaction that came from her body this time wasn’t as strong as last time.
It seemed that whatever had happened last time had given her body some more resistance to the poison. Though it didn’t fully negate it as she still bled from her eyes in the end.
Before Lin Fan could reach for one as well, Xiao Mu had already picked one out for him.
Seeing this, Lin Fan just drank it without a word as well.
This resulted in him vomiting a large pool of blood out, but then it felt like he adapted to the poison.
Just like this, they continued drinking the poisons that Xiao Mu picked out for them until Xiao Mu suddenly said, "That’s enough. I think it’s good now."
Though as it said this, it was walking around Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan, looking them over as if it was examining them for something specific.
Ye Qing Huan didn’t say anything as she just let Xiao Mu do what it wanted to do.
However, Lin Fan was different because he had a different set of tools. At the same time, Lin Fan already had an idea of what Xiao Mu was doing to them after he drank the third bottle of poison.
It wasn’t hard to guess what Xiao Mu was doing to them with how it was acting, but he was surprised that Xiao Mu would also give such a thing to him. After all, this was considered precious since this wasn’t something that could be obtained that easily.
Hundred Poison Resistance.
That was the new skill that had appeared under his status screen.
As soon as he saw this, it confirmed what he had been thinking.
Xiao Mu had been worried that the two of them might have some kind of bad experience with poison, which was why it had helped them gain this resistance.
It was also why Xiao Mu had fed them the poisons in that specific order since it helped their bodies adapt to the ingredients of the poison. Though part of it was also because of what Xiao Mu added into the poisons themselves.
Poison and medicine were two sides of the same coin after all.
Once Xiao Mu finished walking around them, it said, "This is just the basic protection right now and the best that I could do with what I had on hand. In the future, I’ll refine some more things that will help you build up this resistance."
Lin Fan couldn’t stop a faint smile from appearing on his face.
After all, the things that he had heard about in the past were all known as Ten Thousand Poison Resistance. Since this one was only a hundred poisons, then it certainly wasn’t on the same level as being completely immune to poison.
At the very least, it meant that they should have a certain amount of resistance now.
At the very least, it would mean that they wouldn’t instantly die from any poison that they encountered.
Ye Qing Huan shook her head before saying, "There’s no need for you to go this far for us. You should have saved these things for yourself."
Ye Qing Huan certainly wasn’t worried about these things since she had her own methods. Lin Fan wasn’t exactly worried either since he had a special golden finger that would have saved him if anything happened.
Though it wasn’t as if he was against this since it was always better to have more cards up his sleeve.
Xiao Mu just lowered its head and said, "It’s fine. These are nothing more than basic ingredients that I used, so there’s nothing to worry about."
With a more serious look, Xiao Mu added, "The things that I need to help you increase your resistance are far rarer than this, so it’ll be hard to get."
It seemed like Xiao Mu already knew how to help them increase this Hundred Poison Resistance to the next level. If it reached the next level, then it should be the Thousand Poison Resistance.
With that Thousand Poison Resistance, then they would have great resistance against most poisons and only few poisons would work on them.
It wasn’t the same as the immunity effect of the Ten Thousand Poison Resistance.
Or at least that was the information that his Appraisal Eyes gave him.
Ye Qing Huan once again shook her head before saying with a sigh, "Silly child, there’s no need for you to worry about us like this. It’s our job to protect you, not for you to protect us."
Xiao Mu lowered its head again before saying, "I know, but I just want to help."
