Chapter 556: Transaction

"Deal?" The young man narrowed his eyes, unsure of what Yang really had up his sleeve. But he was well aware that in such a situation, the one who spoke first would be at a disadvantage. Plus, he was finding it difficult to speak at the moment, so he decided to keep quiet and say nothing.
Seeing his appearance, Yang Zhen didn't get angry either. He got up and went to the nearby rocks and pulled out Zhang Hu's hat from inside. After pulling it out, he took a glance and couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
Because it endured such a strong impact just now, there is a slight dent on the top arc of the hat. However, this dent is difficult to notice with the naked eye, unless at a specific angle with the help of lighting.
It has to be said that this so-called "divine iron" in the tiger's mouth does have its magical power. And he glanced at the edge of the hat, where the congealed blood had turned black, showing the strong toxicity.
Yang Zhen walked up to the young man with a hat in his hand. Seeing the sharp edge of the hat, the young man instinctively took a step back, and then alertly asked, "What do you want to do?"
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be from the Medicine Sect, right?" Yang Zhen went straight to the point.
"Huh?" The person was taken aback, then sneered, "So what if I am?"
"Oh?" Yang Zhen noticed his slightly narrowed eyes but didn't say much. He just smiled and said, "Since you're from the Medicine Sect, you should know that this hat has been poisoned."
"Hmm, it's a very deadly poison!" The young man nodded with gritted teeth, as the fact that his life-saving pill had no effect clearly showed the potency of the poison.
"I'm not afraid to tell you, my disciple once had a showdown with a master of the Tang Clan using this hat, so it got stained with the poisonous blood of that master."
“……”听见这话，青年的瞳孔骤然收缩，身子也禁不住颤抖起来。
难怪自己的丹药无法解毒，原来这上头竟然有唐门高手的毒血！如果真是如此，那自己这条命岂不是铁定要交代了？
Although Xiaobai can hold Yang Zhen hostage, if given a choice, of course he would prefer to stay alive. Who would want to just die like that? And he is also a clever person, since Yang Zhen wants to make a deal with him at this moment, could it be related to this deadly poison?
With this in mind, he gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Are you wanting to exchange your battle pet for the antidote?"
"It's easier to talk to someone smart." Yang Zhen smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, that's exactly it. So, what do you say? Are you willing or not?"
As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Hu and others were stunned. They knew that Yang Zhen had an immunity to toxins, but when did he have an antidote? Especially for this highly toxic blood from Tang Meng, although the amount was small, the toxicity was extremely strong. Even the life-saving pills of Tang Clan might not be able to detoxify it. Where did you get the confidence to handle this?
They think this way, and so does the young man. Even his understanding of poison surpasses that of Zhang Hu and others. So he sneered and said, "You must be the junior master of the Sword Sect, Yang Zhen, right?"
"That's correct, it's me."
"Yang Zhen, do you think I'm a fool?"
"Hehe, why do you say that?"
"Who doesn't know that disciples of the Tang Sect are tempered with highly toxic substances since childhood, so their toxic blood is the most complex. Sometimes, even they themselves may not have the corresponding antidote. As an outsider, what confidence do you have to claim that you have the antidote here?" The young man spoke with conviction, emphasizing each word.
"The words are correct, but I dare to say them because I have confidence. Of course, I know that just saying this won't make you believe me, so look closely."
As he spoke, Yang Zhen opened his palm, and then forcefully slashed the edge of the hat. The reason he had to do it forcefully was because with his current physical strength, defense, and self-healing ability, he wouldn't be able to withstand the injury otherwise.
"Master!" / "Junior Master!" Seeing him do this, Zhang Hu, Qin Zijin, and others behind him all exclaimed in surprise. The young man also had a bewildered expression, not understanding what Yang Zhen wanted to do.
Looking at Yang Zhen again, his face remained calm. However, at this moment, he was truly speechless.
It's true that his self-healing power is amazing, but it's also damn amazing. In such a short amount of time, his wound has already stopped bleeding and healed.
Originally, he wanted to show the young man that he was not afraid of poison and then trick him into believing that he had the ability to detoxify, so that he could find a way to save Xiaobai. But now, there is not even a wound on his palm. If the other party sees this, they might think that he is really trying to fool them!
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen gritted his teeth and applied a bit more pressure to the palm of his hand, driving the blade deeper. In a hurry, he showed the hat still embedded in his hand to the young man and said, "You can see, my hand is already injured, right?"
"Yes...yes!" The young man stared in astonishment at the scene, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He had initially thought that the other person might be trying to deceive him, well aware of how terrifying the poison on the hat was. After all, even with an antidote that could rapidly detoxify, the poisoned individual would still have to endure a period of excruciating pain from the potent poison. Who would go through this ordeal for no reason?
But what he saw was that the edge of the hat was indeed embedded in Yang Zhen's palm, and dark red blood gushed out from the wound. The air was filled with a peculiar, stinging smell of blood contaminated by toxins. This couldn't be faked.
Yang Zhen looked at him and said cheerfully, "So you see it too, this hat hurt me, right?"
"Yes... Yes," the young man nodded awkwardly.
"Then according to the normal situation, I should have been poisoned, right?"
"Yes...Yes!" The young man nodded mechanically.
"And then, look at me, do I look like someone who has been poisoned?" Yang's smile became even more brilliant, giving the young man a creepy feeling. Is this still a human being? Why is there no problem at all after being poisoned so heavily. Indeed, there is such a thing as immunity to poison in this world, but I have never seen such a perverted existence!"
"You... you..." The young man stammered for a long time, not knowing what to say. Finally, he tentatively asked, "Do you... really have a way to detoxify?"
"Of course, while this poison may be incurable, it does not mean that no one can solve it," Yang smiled and said.
"You... can really cure the poison?" The young man still found it hard to believe.
“The fact is right in front of your eyes, don't you want to believe it?” Yang Zhen asked back.
“I... fine!” The young man bit his teeth and immediately made up his mind.
For him, of course, his own life was the most valuable. How important could Little Bai be to Yang Zhen? And now, with the erosion of the highly toxic substance, his mental consciousness has begun to scatter, and his confidence is also increasingly weak.
If I have never seen hope, then I can continue to endure despair; but now that I have seen hope, it is naturally impossible for me to continue to tolerate despair.
"I promise you, as long as you can cure my poison, I will release your battle pet!" The young man exerted all his strength to speak as clearly as possible, even though his tongue was already somewhat numb.
"Deal, it's settled." Yang Zhen said, tossing the hat back to Zhang Hu, and then walked straight towards the young man.
