Wuxia Across the Heavens: I Collect Side Effects

Su Xin was so engrossed in watching that when he looked up, Wang Nangu had already vanished.

She walked hurriedly towards Hu Qingniu's room, her heart filled with a desire to show off, wanting to see what this "medical immortal" had to say next.

Before long, Wang Nangu arrived at Hu Qingniu's room. Without knocking, she called out loudly, her smugness barely concealed: "Hu Qingniu, I've figured out the follow-up moves of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand. I wonder how your research is going? Still no clue?"

Hu Qingniu's muffled voice came from inside the room, tinged with resentment yet deliberately feigning composure: "What's the rush? Good things come to those who wait. I know what I'm doing."

Upon hearing this, Wang Nangu's lips curled into a mocking smile. She could, of course, detect the lack of confidence in Hu Qingniu's tone, and continued to provoke him: "I bet you just haven't figured it out! Just admit defeat! I've incorporated the Five Poisons Dao into the follow-up to this Thousand Spider Poison Hand technique, combining the essence of my life's poison skills. How can your medical skills possibly be integrated? I'd like to see what tricks you can pull!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Qingniu, who was in the room, was naturally unwilling to admit defeat and immediately retorted, "That's not necessarily true! The wonders of medicine are endless, what do you know!" But as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel conflicted.

He knew that poison techniques were indeed easier to integrate into the Thousand Spider Poison Hand compared to medical techniques, but he was unwilling to accept it.

He could lose at anything in his life, but he would never lose to Wang Nangu in the slightest when it came to medical skills.

Seeing that there was no one left to refute her, Wang Nangu smiled even more triumphantly. She stopped arguing and turned to leave through the door, leaving Hu Qingniu alone in the room, secretly struggling with himself. He frowned and studied the medical books and the incomplete scroll of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand technique on the table with increasing focus.

On the other side, Su Xin also put away the thread-bound notebook in his hand and began to carefully study the newly acquired Thousand Spider Poison Hand "Five Poisons Mixed Yuan" method. He repeatedly pondered the fusion technique of the five kinds of poisons and the route to find the five kinds of poisonous spiders, and gradually made a plan in his mind.

As night fell, Butterfly Valley fell into tranquility.

Hu Qingniu finally came out of the room, looking somewhat tired but also stubborn, and walked straight towards Su Xin's residence.

Su Xin was not surprised to see him coming over, and directly handed him the book containing the "Five Poisons Mixed Origin".

Hu Qingniu took the notebook, said nothing, only glanced at Su Xin briefly, then turned around and locked himself back in his room without uttering a single extra word.

Su Xin understood that Hu Qingniu's eagerness ultimately stemmed from his inability to let go.

His specialty is detoxification. Only by thoroughly understanding the upgraded Thousand Spider Poison Hand and figuring out the characteristics of the five deadly poisons can he find a way to deal with them and avoid being at a disadvantage in his contest with Wang Nangu.

That's why he specifically came out to ask Su Xin for the notebook.

Wang Nangu was standing under the eaves not far away at this moment, and naturally saw Hu Qingniu hurrying back and forth. A smug smile immediately appeared on her lips, and her eyes were full of certainty:

This time, he's really done for. I'm finally going to beat him for once in my life!

Hu Qingyang, who was not far away, also saw Hu Qingniu. She wanted to go up and call out to him to say a few words, but Hu Qingniu was walking in a hurry, looking anxious, and his steps were so fast that he didn't seem to want to stop. She opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't have time to speak.

Looking at Hu Qingniu's tightly closed door, Hu Qingyang spoke helplessly, his voice not loud, but loud enough for Hu Qingniu inside the room to hear: "Brother, I'm due in two months, don't forget even if you're busy."

Soon, Hu Qingniu's somewhat perfunctory but warm response came from the room: "I won't forget!" After he finished speaking, there was no more sound. He must have already eagerly opened his notebook and immersed himself in his research.

Hu Qingniu returned to his room, locked the door behind him, and immediately spread the book containing the "Five Poisons Mixed Origin" on the table. He stared intently at it, not even glancing at the already cold food on the table.

The more he looked, the more amazed he became, and he couldn't help but murmur to himself, "This is wonderful! Combining five deadly poisons together, each complementing the other, is the ultimate in poison. Even I would have to be extremely careful and verify it repeatedly to break it, otherwise, the slightest mistake could have far-reaching consequences."

His brow furrowed, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, his expression growing increasingly grave, a sense of frustration rising within him.

Am I really doomed to lose this?

Is it really true that my medical skills are inferior to her poison skills?

He stared at the handwriting in the notebook, pondering it repeatedly, refusing to slack off even for a moment. The candle in the room remained lit all night.

Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this month, Wang Nangu caused Hu Qingniu no shortage of trouble. She would often go to his room and make sarcastic remarks, showing off her research results. Every time, Hu Qingniu would get so angry that he would blow his beard and glare, but he was helpless.

He hasn't found a solution yet.

On the other side, Su Xin was also gradually becoming impatient.

He had studied the "Five Poisons Mixed Yuan" method repeatedly and had already memorized it, but without five kinds of highly poisonous spiders as materials, it was ultimately just theoretical and he could not truly break through.

He secretly calculated that if Hu Qingniu couldn't come up with any more clues, he wouldn't wait any longer.

He couldn't wait to enter the Five Poisons Primordial Realm, and after thinking it over, he decided to go to Dali first.

Dali is located in southern Xinjiang, with a humid climate, and is a gathering place for venomous spiders. Perhaps we can find several kinds of the highly venomous spiders we need. We can also make some preparations to pave the way for later exploration of Miao and Kunlun regions to find other spiders.

In his spare time, Su Xin felt deeply grateful to Hu Qingniu and Wang Nangu.

Although the couple often bickered, they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the research on the Thousand Spider Poison Hand technique, sharing their knowledge without reservation. Their selfless assistance deeply moved him.

It seems that Xianyu Tong has already found a way to bring about his own death.

After all, Hu Qingniu and his sister had suffered a lot because of him, and now that they had received such help from the couple, he would feel bad if he didn't seek justice for them.

A cold smile curved Su Xin's lips as he pondered to himself:

Since I'll be roaming the world sooner or later anyway, if I happen to encounter Granny Golden Flower, I can just kill her while I'm at it.

Granny Jin Hua is highly skilled in martial arts and has a vicious mind. She also has an old grudge against Hu Qingniu and his wife. Keeping her around is a potential threat. It would be better to get rid of her as soon as possible, which would also clear away a potential minefield for Butterfly Valley.

Su Xin has been making preparations these past few days, and Hu Qingyang knew from Su Xin's actions that Su Xin was about to leave.

Hu Qingniu has also started to get anxious these past few days.

Su Xin's departure means he has lost.

This... has made him even more engrossed in his work these past few days, neglecting to eat and sleep.
