“Didn’t you say that there’s no cure for this poison?” Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and asked.

“That’s what others said. It has nothing to do with me,” Su Qian said calmly. She raised her eyebrows and said proudly, “Just wait. Within half an hour, I’ll have the antidote ready.”

After saying this, Su Qian said that she needed some quiet and went to the adjacent room alone to prepare the antidote.

Xiao Yan hurriedly followed Su Qian to assist, leaving Qing Zhu and the others stunned on the spot with comical expressions of bewilderment.

“Young Master Qing Zhu, isn’t the poison doctor a sixth-grade alchemist? Why can she neutralize a seventh-grade potent toxin?” A chef who was relatively sober asked carefully.

“That’s right. Moreover, she also said that she would be able to make the antidote within half an hour. Is it that easy to make an antidote for a seventh-grade toxicant?” Another person asked nervously.

“It’s certainly not that simple.” As Qing Zhu said this, the muscles on the corner of his lips involuntarily moved. “I can only say that Elder Su’s strength is truly formidable…”

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts pounding wildly from Su Qian’s terrifying strength. They all fell silent and waited for Su Qian to return.

In the adjacent room, Su Qian added the necessary herbs she needed to the antidote elixir she had refined during her free time. She first ground the antidote elixir into powder, then used the medicine cauldron to refine the other herbs into medicinal powder and liquid medicine. She mixed them together, adding a little more to whichever seemed lacking, and carefully adjusted the dosage of each medicine.

Observing Su Qian’s smooth movements, Xiao Yan asked in surprise, “Why do I feel like you’re very familiar with refining this antidote? Isn’t this your first time detoxifying this poison?”

Refining an antidote was no child’s play. Even the most proficient poison masters needed to experiment slowly to find the right formula for neutralization.

No matter how powerful Su Qian was, she couldn’t bypass this inevitable rule.

However, Su Qian skipped this series of steps and directly started refining the antidote. It could be seen that Su Qian was very confident.

“I’m very familiar with this Bone Eroding toxicant.” Su Qian stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Xiao Yan behind her. “Because my master made this toxicant.”

“Your master?” Xiao Yan looked at Su Qian in confusion and narrowed his eyes. “You have a master?”

Su Qian nodded matter-of-factly. “Of course. My master taught me for three years. Otherwise, how could I have improved so quickly by self-studying?” When Xiao Yan heard this, he didn’t agree with Su Qian.

Su Qian became famous worldwide three years ago, and while her master’s guidance undoubtedly played a role, her own talent was even more crucial. Otherwise, it was nearly impossible for an ordinary person to become a sixth-grade alchemist in just three years.

“This Bone Eroding Toxic was one of the three difficult problems my master left for me to finish my apprenticeship. At that time, my master lied to me and said that this poison was only a fifth-grade toxicant that he had accidentally concocted. He also claimed it was particularly easy to neutralize. It forced me to try hundreds of antidote formulations within seven days, only to realize in the end that this toxicant was actually a seventh-grade one.” At the end of her sentence, Su Qian seemed to have recalled something from the past and couldn’t help but grit her teeth..
