"The poison section is on the second shelf of the third floor's study. There should be something you want inside." The old man shook his head, trying to dispel the confusion in his heart as he spoke warmly.

"Thank you, Old Book. Old Book will continue to be busy. I will not disturb you." Lin Qing bowed respectfully and passed by the Old Book, heading towards the study on the third floor.

The Elder glanced at Lin Qing who had entered the study and shook his head. He then looked at the tattered silk paper in his hand and sighed.

After a quarter of an hour, Lin Qing followed the directions of the old man and arrived at the third level of the study. Indeed, as the old man had said, the books here were all about poison.

"The Three Flowers Poison", a book that exuded the scent of a book, was flipped over by Lin Qing's fingertip. With a slight frown, Lin Qing finally shook her head. This was not the book she was looking for.

Lin Qing's expression darkened as she flipped through all the poison books, yet she still couldn't find the poison book she was looking for.

Thinking of Zhao Hu's threat, Lin Qing felt as if she was choked in her throat as she put down the "lost energy" book in her hands. Lin Qing's expression was ugly as she muttered: "Don't tell me that from now on, I can only live under Zhao Hu's threat, and life and death will be decided by the thoughts of others"?

"Ai." With a sigh, Lin Qing couldn't help but say that Zhao Hu was skilled. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to escape Zhao Hu's grasp within a short period of time.

"Halfway through," a poison book appeared before Lin Qing's eyes, causing her eyes to light up as she hurriedly opened it.

"The deities are sad, but the poison is naturally effeminate. If it is not treated as soon as possible, like the pain of the bones being attached to one's body, the clear energy in one's body will slowly dissipate, and even if one is at the pinnacle of talent, they will eventually fall to the mortal realm." This was the medicinal properties of the poison, causing Lin Qing's eyelids to twitch.

If he were to give Ye Liangchen a half a step, even an expert at the fifth level of talent would not be able to escape the fate of becoming a mortal. If Ye Liangchen were to become a mortal, what would happen to him …

Thinking to this point, Lin Qing did not dare to think about it anymore. Although Ye Liangchen had helped her out a lot in her life, from being a refugee to being a Branch Lord, Lin Qing had done her best in the past three years. For the Tiger Gang to have such a huge development, she had at least 50% of it.

Afterwards, Lin Qing once again hid in the study room and looked for a long time before finally smiling helplessly. In the end, she still could not find any information regarding the black-colored pill that Zhao Hu gave her last night.

"Forget it. If I can find a way to break it so easily, Zhao Hu would not be so confident of me. Moreover, the value of my use is quite high. The future development of the sect will definitely require my advice and there should not be any danger to my life." Lin Qing consoled herself.

However, just like that, Lin Qing was still unwilling to give up under Zhao Hu's control. It was just that there were some matters which eventually revealed her helplessness and did not rely on her will to be transferred.

Since he couldn't find it, he might as well not find it. Since he had stirred up too much trouble, he might as well find another opportunity in the future.

After she understood all of this, Lin Qing sighed lightly. She put down the book on the half-step poison and walked out of the hidden study.

As she passed by Old Book, Lin Qing respectfully greeted him as if she was saying her goodbyes.

"Qing Zi, have you found a book that you want to read?" The old man who was meditating suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Qing gently.

"Not yet …" Lin Qing bitterly smiled as she looked at the warm smile on the book elder's face.

Suddenly, Lin Qing's eyes lit up. She seemed to have thought of something as she stared straight at the old man.

"Why are you looking at me like this? Is there something wrong with me?" Being stared at by Lin Qing, even the old man was not used to it.

"Old Man Shu, please don't blame me for thinking about something all of a sudden. That's why I ended up being a little rash." Lin Qing smiled awkwardly as she said.

"What is it?" Elder Shu also became interested and couldn't help but to ask.

"It's just that there are some things I want to consult with Elder Shu about, and there's nothing special about it." Lin Qing bowed once again and respectfully said. Previously, Lin Qing was lost in her own thoughts, so with Elder Shu's knowledge, he should be able to know the specifics of the poison that Zhao Hu poisoned herself. His painstaking efforts in searching had left him at a lower level. It was probably because the more concerned he was with himself, the more flustered he became.

"If you have something to say, just say it, and why are you being so reserved? Why are you being so courteous with me?" The old man couldn't help but laugh.

In these three years, Lin Qing had also clearly figured out Old Book's temper. Without delay, she hurriedly said, "I won't hide it from Old Book, I wanted to find some information on the poison, but I only searched for a long time without obtaining any results. Thus, I thought of Old Book, with Old Book's knowledge, I'm afraid that I should know about it."

"Stop flattering me. Speak, what poison is it?" The old man said with a smile. However, judging from his expression, it was obvious that he was rather satisfied with Lin Qing's words.

Listening to the Elder of the Books, Lin Qing's smile faded as she recounted the pill Zhao Hu took out last night, including the appearance of the black pill, the feeling of eating it, and the symptoms.

After hearing what Lin Qing had to say, the old man could not help but fall into deep thought. Lin Qing, who was at the side, did not disturb him and waited quietly at the side.

After waiting for a long time, the Elder finally came back from his deep thoughts. He looked at Lin Qing's expectant gaze and shook his head, "Qing Zi, you gave me too few clues. I'm not too sure."

Hearing this, Lin Qing couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. That's right, if it was that simple, then Zhao Hu wouldn't have been able to so easily leave last night.

"However, although I'm not sure, I still have some guesses. It's just that I need to carefully consider the Poison Thousand Variations before I can find out what it is. This will take some time." Just as Lin Qing was disappointed, the old man changed his tone.

Hearing this, Lin Qing's spirit could not help but rise and she could not help but blurt out, "Seriously!"

"Of course it's true. Don't tell me that I, Elder Shu, would lie to you?" He faked an unhappy expression as he said.

"No, no." Lin Qing hastily waved her hands and said in a somewhat bumpy manner.

"Sigh, you, ah, have you encountered any difficulties? You can tell me, for an old bones like me, even though I'm useless, I know three points, and perhaps I will give you some pertinent suggestions." The old man said as he changed the topic.

"It's just that I've encountered some troublesome matters and will be fine in a few days. There won't be any major events." Lin Qing waved her hand and said.

He carefully looked at Lin Qing and said, "In these three years, I have clearly seen your every word and action, although your perseverance and perseverance are excellent, your path of cultivation is ruthless, and you have been able to repeatedly defeat me and make me feel gratified, but the way of the Great Dao is heartless, I am also helpless, and as for helping you, it is also impossible. However, I have a book that I obtained from the Immortal's Cave Mansion, seeing that my lifespan is not long, and I do not want to bury it in the dust, I will give it to you."
