Chen Fan sat in his office.
Idly bored, he played with his phone.
Before long, Chen Fan suddenly frowned, detecting a faint fragrance.
This scent was incredibly pleasant and gave him a feeling of weightlessness.
Just as he found it delightful, his heart jolted. Ten Mile Fragrance?
The scent was merely the surface.
What lay beneath it was truly chilling…
For Ten Mile Fragrance was a potent poison!
Chen Fan, with his unparalleled skill in medicine, naturally perceived the hidden danger!
What was going on?
Immediately, Chen Fan circulated his internal energy for defense.
It was at this very moment that Ge Dashan and his companions became vacant-eyed, appearing no different from puppets.
The scent had come too suddenly. Chen Fan walked out of his office.
Searching for the source of the fragrance.
In no time, he found it. The scent originated from a potted plant.
Chen Fan tossed the potted plant out and proceeded to destroy it.
As he returned, a hunched old figure appeared. Her entire face was contorted, giving her a terrifying appearance.
"Chen Fan, you are indeed not simple!"
A hoarse voice sounded.
"To have discovered the nuances of Ten Mile Fragrance in mere breaths!"
Chen Fan let out a cold snort. "Why poison in a public place?"
The old woman squinted and smiled. "Naturally, it was to test you!"
Her words were quite direct.
Chen Fan frowned. "Who are you?"
The old woman calmly produced a red invitation and flicked it out…
Reinforced by internal energy, the red paper invitation instantly transformed into a blade.
*Clack!*
Chen Fan caught it between two fingers, effortlessly.
"Interesting, very interesting!" The old woman nodded with a smile again, then got to the point. "This is an invitation from our Poison Sect!"
Poison Sect?
This was the first time Chen Fan had heard of it. "What for?"
The old woman replied with a placid expression. "We invite you for tea!"
"The tea from our Poison Sect is quite exceptional!"
Chen Fan looked at the invitation in his hand. "What if I refuse?"
The old woman cackled. "No one has ever refused the goodwill of our Poison Sect. Oh, and here's a heads-up: this invitation is also poisoned!"
"From the moment you grasped it, the poison began to circulate!"
Chen Fan then noticed that the palm of his hand had turned completely black.
It was evident that the poison was exceptionally potent.
The old woman chuckled. "How about it? You won't refuse now, will you! This is our Poison Sect's signature poison, Three-Day… as the name implies, those afflicted will not survive for three days. If the antidote is not taken within three days, they will turn into a pool of blood, leaving no trace!"
Chen Fan, seeing this, displayed a faint smile. "I understand. So that's how it is!"
The old woman said mockingly, "Chen Fan, what do you say?"
Chen Fan replied, "I think it's not much. See what this is?"
Chen Fan took out three silver needles and pricked specific acupoints on his arm, administering an antidote.
In just a short while, the black toxin on his palm had completely vanished.
Witnessing this, the old woman was once again astonished. "You… How is this possible? How could you possess the ability to dissolve the potent Three-Day poison?"
"This…"
Chen Fan withdrew the needles, too lazy to explain.
Simultaneously, he fixed his gaze on the old crone not far away, a hint of killing intent surfacing!
Because she had been the first to launch a lethal attack, ambushing him. If not for his superior detoxification skills, he would have been at the mercy of the old woman before him.
"Chen Fan, you truly are extraordinary!" The old woman feigned composure.
