71: Solution

The group continued towards the next room.

As expected, after several Cultivators took the detoxification Pills, there was no improvement whatsoever.

The Alchemists who were observing originally showed disappointed expressions; it seemed this so-called theory was useless.

The poison would not produce different effects based on each person's Physique.

However, Zhou Luo's face showed no panic. He calmly proceeded to the next room, like a devout seeker of knowledge, waiting for that glimmer of a miracle to occur.

This continued until they reached the room of the elderly Senior from before.

Indeed, as he entered the room, Lin Xuanfeng also silently followed behind him.

Zhou Luo paid no mind, walked to the bedside, took out a detoxification Pill, briefly explained his purpose to the elderly Senior, placed it into the other party's mouth, and then stood there quietly waiting.

At the doorway, Lin Xuanfeng stood expressionlessly, his eyes deep and cold.

After about a few minutes, the effects of the medicine kicked in.

The elderly Senior lay there, seemingly unchanged.

The three Alchemists habitually turned around, preparing to leave.

Just then, the elderly Senior's index finger suddenly moved.

Lin Xuanfeng was the first to notice, his eyes flickering slightly.

At the same time, this scene happened to fall into Lin Kai's eyes.

His eyes widened, and he subconsciously exclaimed, "It's working."

The three Alchemists were shocked and quickly turned back, crowding forward.

Their eyes were fixed on the elderly Senior's right hand on the bed, where the aged index finger was trembling.

Although the frequency was very low, it was indeed a significant discovery.

Because all the poisoned individuals, without exception, were completely unable to move their bodies, having no other reaction except for their eyeballs.

Now the other party's index finger had actually moved.

Did that mean Zhou Luo's theory was correct?

In an instant, the few Alchemists exchanged glances and looked towards Zhou Luo in unison.

Could he really be a Genius?

At this moment, Zhou Luo's face was also full of pleasant surprise and astonishment.

"Excellent, I need to study this thoroughly," Zhou Luo said with excitement in his voice.

Of course, this was all an act.

Although his so-called theory was reasonable in his previous life, who could guarantee it would be applicable in this world?

Therefore, when refining the detoxification Pills, he deliberately added some antidote to the Pills, giving them the effect of suppressing the poison.

This was why the scene before them occurred.

Lin Kai's expression was somewhat complex. He couldn't help but look towards Lin Xuanfeng at the doorway.

The other party had his eyes lowered, as if completely unaffected by all of this.

"Ninth Elder, this is a major Breakthrough. If we can discover the secret of why this Senior's body can inhibit the toxins, perhaps we can develop an antidote."

Zhou Luo proactively looked at Lin Xuanfeng and said.

Because he knew that from beginning to end, the other party was the one making the decisions.

According to the plan, he would use the excuse of studying the other party's body to isolate the others, thus creating an opportunity for the two of them to be alone.

But honestly, he wasn't sure if the other party would truly let him have his way now.

After all, if the other party knew that he was the one who administered the poison, he would be even more inclined to prevent him from accessing information about the Spirit Mine.

Lin Xuanfeng, who was questioned, looked up at him, his eyes as sharp as a hawk's, showing no emotional fluctuation.

Then, he shifted his gaze towards the three Alchemists: "Since Master Xianlong's body is special, I believe you should also be able to research a corresponding detoxification Pill."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Luo's eyes darkened.

It seemed the other party most likely already knew about him administering the poison, and now was still unwilling to let him have contact with the Great Elder's people.

But why not directly attack him?

Was it because he was wary of the Great Elder?

Or was it a case of casting a long line to catch a big fish?

Zhou Luo couldn't figure it out for the moment, but regarding this decision, he took a step back and said with a calm expression, "The Ninth Elder is right. Then please, Seniors, proceed with the research."

The three Alchemists were also very curious as to why the detoxification Pill only worked on the elderly Senior before them, so they did not refuse.

One Alchemist placed his right hand on the other party's wrist, sending in Spiritual Power, and began to examine the other party's body.

However, apart from discovering that the toxicity within the other party's body had indeed weakened, he found no other abnormality.

"This, I don't seem to be able to figure it out," he said with an awkward expression.

"Let me try," another Alchemist indicated that he wanted to give it a go.

And then there was no 'then'.

He also found no abnormality.

Immediately after was the third Alchemist, with the same result – nothing was found.

The three Alchemists present all looked awkwardly at Zhou Luo beside them.

Zhou Luo maintained a humble posture, his expression still calm.

Lin Kai's face was somewhat grim. He looked at Zhou Luo, his voice slightly cold: "Zhou Luo, can you see if there's anything special about his Physique?"

Zhou Luo did not look at him, but instead looked towards Lin Xuanfeng and said with a serious expression: "Ninth Elder, I need a separate Space to conduct research. Perhaps I can find a solution."

Lin Xuanfeng remained expressionless throughout, while Lin Kai's expression grew increasingly grim.

He even felt that the other party must already have a solution, and the reason for saying this was simply to have an opportunity to be alone with the elderly Senior.

Thinking of this, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at Lin Xuanfeng, the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall.

He wondered if the Ninth Elder could realize this.

If he did, how would he handle it?

No one spoke, the room was silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat strange.

Everyone was waiting for Lin Xuanfeng to speak, but they dared not look at him.

After a long while, Lin Xuanfeng finally said slowly, "Since that is the case, then go ahead and do it."

Zhou Luo and Lin Kai were startled upon hearing this.

Especially Lin Kai, whose ashen face was full of surprise. He looked at Lin Xuanfeng beside him in disbelief, then realized this was somewhat rude and quickly lowered his head.

Zhou Luo was equally astonished. He had anticipated that the other party would stop him, but he hadn't expected the other party to agree so readily.

After saying this, Lin Xuanfeng calmly walked out. Lin Kai quickly followed. Although the other three Alchemists really wanted to know how Zhou Luo would conduct his research, they also obediently walked out.

After everyone had left, Zhou Luo felt no joy from his plan succeeding.

Because he suddenly realized that he couldn't quite figure out the other party's thoughts.

The Main Family had clearly been very resistant to him entering the Second Level before, so why did they agree so readily now?

Could it be that they no longer cared about these things?

As soon as this thought arose, a terrifying idea suddenly surfaced in Zhou Luo's mind.

The Main Family wanted to kill him to silence him.

Only this could explain the other party's behavior just now.

Moreover, after killing him, the other party could use the poisoning incident to prevent the Great Elder from holding them accountable.

A chill immediately surged through Zhou Luo's body, and a panicked expression appeared on his originally calm face.

He had been able to remain calm before purely because he thought there might still be a chance to salvage the situation, perhaps by relying on the Great Elder's people in the Spirit Mine to protect himself.

But if the poisoning incident was exposed, he would be certain to die.

His face paled slightly as he looked at the immobile figure on the bed, his mind in a state of confusion.

What should he do?
