However, Wang Teng did not lose heart. Instead, he decided to readjust the proportions and tried again.
The herbal soup he brewed this time looked much better. He carefully tasted a little, but after waiting for a long time, his stomach didn't react.
"It's done?"
Wang Teng felt a surge of surprise.
However, he soon realized something was wrong.
I felt nothing after drinking this medicine; it neither detoxified nor had any other effect.
When several tonics are combined, their effects cancel each other out, resulting in a pot of "medicine" that is completely useless.
Wang Teng scratched his head and gave a wry smile.
"I must be a genius to be able to make tonics cancel each other out."
The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time...
The medicinal herbs on the table gradually decreased, while the number of failed bottles and jars increased.
Some of the drinks caused stomach aches, some caused dizziness, and some had an extremely foul smell. It's unclear which part of the process went wrong.
However, not all of Wang Teng's attempts failed.
He looked at the pile of bottles and jars that had been successfully prepared and fell into deep thought.
These are all poisons.
Some things make you itchy. He accidentally got some on his hand, and his wrist is still incredibly itchy. He scratched it for a long time before it finally stopped itching.
Some things can cause hair loss.
How did Wang Teng find out?
Of course, it's because he's already tried it!
Although Wang Teng only put a small drop on the tip of his hair, that small clump of hair quickly fell out.
If it weren't for the powerful regenerative abilities of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, Wang Teng would probably be bald by now.
Some were even more potent; the mere smell made him dizzy, so he quickly put the stopper back in the bottle.
"It seems I've put all my talent into the poison master field."
Wang Teng said with a helpless self-deprecating laugh.
With more than half of the medicinal herbs on the table already used up, not a single bottle of antidote had been prepared.
Wang Teng gritted his teeth, refusing to believe it.
"I refuse to believe it, keep going!"
He rolled up his sleeves and threw himself into a new round of attempts.
An hour passed, and the sky outside the window gradually turned a pale white.
At this moment, the last batch of medicinal herbs on the table was used up, and Wang Teng stared at the pile of newly made bottles and jars in front of him.
It's poison again, poison all over, it's all poison.
There wasn't a single bottle of antidote.
"This is so hard!"
Chapter 207 Contact with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School
Wang Teng leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.
All his hard work that night resulted in a table full of poison and a reshaping of his self-awareness.
It turns out I really don't have the talent for making medicine, at least not in the area of antidotes.
But it's all good, poison is still medicine, and it might come in handy once we get into Sunset Forest.
Wang Teng comforted himself with this thought and began to collect all the poisons on the table into his storage soul guide bracelet.
Dozens of small bottles, sorted and neatly packed, were arranged in a rather orderly fashion.
After tidying everything up, he stood up, walked to the window, and opened it.
The cool morning breeze blew in, carrying the aroma of breakfast stalls wafting from the street.
There are already pedestrians on the street, and some shops have gradually opened.
A new day has begun in Tiandou City.
Wang Teng took a deep breath of fresh air, and his spirits lifted.
"Forget it, everyone has their own expertise. Let's just buy the antidote from the pharmacy."
He muttered to himself, turned around, picked up his coat, put it on, pushed open the door, and strode downstairs.
When I came out of the hotel, it was already broad daylight.
Wang Teng randomly picked a breakfast stall on the street, ordered two baskets of steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, and filled his stomach.
After finishing his meal and wiping his mouth, he stood on the street and looked around. He then grabbed a random passerby and asked about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's location in Tiandou City.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is one of the three upper sects and is renowned.
Anyone with a bit of knowledge in Tiandou City knows where their businesses are located.
The vendor enthusiastically gave Wang Teng directions and even gave him some tips on the shortest route.
Following the directions, Wang Teng soon arrived in front of an impressive building.
Looking up, you can see five large characters on the plaque.
"Seven Treasures Auction House!"
This is the largest stronghold of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in Tiandou City, and also the most luxurious auction house in the entire city.
Even though today wasn't the official auction day, people were still coming and going at the entrance, with a constant stream of people entering and leaving.
Wang Teng stood at the door for a while, looking around, and then stepped inside.
However, before Wang Teng could even step over the threshold, a beautiful maid in uniform came to greet him.
"Is this your first time visiting Qibao Auction House, sir?"
With a professional smile, the maid asked in a warm tone, "You've come at the right time. We recently received a new batch of goods, and the quality is exceptionally good. Would you like to take a look?"
"We guarantee you'll be satisfied—"
As she spoke, she reached out to lead the way and naturally moved closer.
The soft arm touched Wang Teng's arm, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
However, the maid was completely oblivious and continued to talk incessantly about the various goods in the store.
Wang Teng was led around the lobby on the first floor. His gaze swept over the displayed objects, but he remained expressionless, showing no interest whatsoever.
The maid, sensing Wang Teng's lack of interest, quickly added, "If you're not satisfied with the first floor, sir, we have something even better on the second floor. Shall I take you up to have a look?"
"no need."
Wang Teng finally had a chance to speak. He raised his hand to stop the maid from talking and said, "Is your manager here? I have this."
Wang Teng took out a token from his storage soul tool and handed it over.
The maid took it and her expression immediately changed.
She held the token and examined it carefully for a long time, her fingertips gently stroking the patterns on its surface, her expression becoming increasingly solemn.
A few breaths later, the maid returned the token to Wang Teng with both hands.
At this moment, the maid's attitude had completely changed, becoming respectful to the point of being overly cautious.
"Please follow me, sir. I'll take you to a private room to rest first, and then I'll go and invite our manager."
"it is good."
A maid led the way, and Wang Teng followed behind.
The two went up to the second floor and entered a private room.
"Please have a seat, I will go and fetch the manager right away."
After the maid finished speaking, she bowed and left, closing the door behind her.
Wang Teng was the only one left in the private room.
He looked around.
The private room wasn't very big, but its decor was quite sophisticated.
Wang Teng's feet were on a thick carpet, which was soft and made no sound when he stepped on it.
Several paintings and calligraphies hung on the wall, all signed by names he had never heard of, but judging from the mounting and the brushwork, they were probably not ordinary works.
Several pieces of porcelain were displayed on the multi-compartment display shelf against the wall, their glazes warm and their shapes elegant.
The most eye-catching thing is the fresh flowers on the coffee table.
Several different kinds of flowers were arranged together, at varying heights, with colors perfectly matched, clearly showing that someone had taken great care of them.
A faint fragrance wafts in the air, neither too strong nor too weak, and it smells very pleasant.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has quite good taste."
Wang Teng nodded and sat down in the chair.
He didn't have to wait long; a moment later, the door to the private room was pushed open.
A man and a woman entered.
The woman was the same maid from before, and the man was a middle-aged man in his forties, overweight, wearing a golden robe.
The man had a friendly, business-like smile on his face, looking just like an ordinary businessman.
"Manager Ning, this is the gentleman."
The maid followed behind Steward Ning and whispered.
The manager surnamed Ning waved his hand and said, "I understand, you can go now."
