Hearing this, Zhao Hu nodded his head in satisfaction. He patted Lin Qing's shoulder and said gently, "Being loyal to me is much better than being loyal to Ye Liangchen. Don't forget your duty."

"I understand." Lin Qing bowed respectfully, and a trace of bitter smile was mixed within the corners of her mouth.

Zhao Hu meaningfully glanced at Lin Qing, then he stopped speaking.

Seeing that Zhao Hu had already lost the interest to talk, Lin Qing cupped her hands and said, "Sect Master Zhao is busy with matters, so I won't disturb you any longer."

"Helmsman Lin is too courteous …" Zhao Hu quickly said as he put down the teacup in his hand.

Slightly smiling bitterly, Lin Qing slowly left Zhao Hu's room. Only when Lin Qing's figure completely disappeared from Zhao Hu's line of sight did the warm smile on Zhao Hu's face completely disappear, bringing along a cold chill.

"Right now, your heart is still unconvinced. Wait until I take over the Tiger Faction and the Green Bamboo Gang. No matter how shrewd you are, you will still serve me." Zhao Hu coldly snorted and muttered.

After leaving Zhao Hu's room, Lin Qing's suppressed mood relaxed a lot. Looking at the weather, Lin Qing felt that the weather today was exceptionally good.

Lin Qing turned around and walked towards the hidden study. Before long, she would be heading to Red Leaf Town. It would be a long time before she would be able to see the old man.

When he left, the Tiger Gang would definitely be in great turmoil. At that time, it would be impossible to predict what kind of danger would befall them.

In addition to the poison that Zhao Hu had given him, it was difficult for him to eat or sleep. Since Elder Shu knew, before he left, Lin Qing felt that it was absolutely necessary for him to find out what kind of medicinal properties the poison had and what kind of antidote he should use to cure it.

Not to mention that the immortal book that Old Book had given him was the key for Lin Qing to break through to become a talented warrior. With such a huge favor, leaving Old Book behind, Lin Qing felt that her conscience wasn't good.

The time spent on the way wasn't much. In half a cup of tea's time, Lin Qing arrived at the hidden study.

"Isn't it still not the agreed time yet? "Qing Zi, why are you here so early?" The old man opened a book and looked up to see Lin Qing.

"There really were some unexpected accidents. Sect Leader Ye told me to go to the Red Leaf Town immediately to guard it. I'm afraid I won't be able to come here for a long time, so I came here to greet Elder Shu and ask him about the poison." Lin Qing respectfully said to Elder Shu.

"So that's how it is." The old man nodded and said gently.

"I've already found some clues regarding the poison. If I'm not wrong, it should be the Three Corpse Mental Pill." The old man thought for a while before continuing.

"Three Corpse Mental Pellet, what kind of poison is this, why haven't I heard of it before?" When Lin Qing heard this, he could not help but ask.

"The Three Corpses Mental Pill is a kind of poison. This kind of poison is very rare and rarely appears in the martial arts world." The old man said with a sigh.

"Old Book, I don't know how to remove this poison, and how to treat it." Lin Qing asked anxiously. After all, this poison was related to her own life, and Lin Qing couldn't help but be concerned about it.

"The Three Corpses Mind Pill is a type of poison. How could it be easy to cure? The concoction of the Three Corpses Mind Pill is different, but the antidote is different. One could say that this poison has no antidote."

Hearing these words, Lin Qing's expression changed. Her heart sank as she clenched her fists.

"Elder Shu, is there really no antidote?" Lin Qing's voice was slightly hoarse.

"It's not that there is no antidote, but there is always a cure for everything. Where in the world would there be an antidote? Moreover, the Three Corpses Mind Pill has not reached the level of immortal poison, so how could there not be an antidote?" Elder Shu seemed to have seen through something as he explained.

Upon hearing these words, Lin Qing heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. However, she still continued to ask, "What is the antidote for the three Corpse Mental Energy Pills?"

"The Three Corpses Mind Pill is a pill formed from a combination of various poisons in the Five Regions. According to the ratio of its concoction, the concoction of the antidote is also different. Usually, only those who concoct the antidote will be able to truly master the concocting of the antidote."

When Lin Qing heard this, his face darkened once again. He couldn't help but say, "In that case, the antidote for the Three Corpses Mind Pill can only be concocted by someone who makes poisons."

"Generally speaking, yes, it is only a mysterious world, so how could it be absolute? Besides concocting the antidote, there are many other antidotes in the world that can cure this poison, such as the ice lotus above the Extreme Mountain or the fire ear in the depths of the Extreme Sea. However, this sort of heaven and earth mysterious treasure, how could it be found by us mortals?"

Hearing this, Lin Qing's face became extremely unsightly. How could the current Lin Qing have access to the ice lotus and the fire ear? Such a miraculous item like this was something that even the Imperial Palace would not have.

"Qing Zi, have you been poisoned by someone?" Seeing Lin Qing's unsightly expression, the old man stared at her with a burning gaze. A trace of deep concern could be seen in his eyes.

"No, I'm just asking." Lin Qing's complexion slightly changed. A moment later, she lightly smiled and said. However, her smile was still somewhat forced.

"Although I am old, my ears are not deaf, my eyes are not blind, and my brain is still sharp. If you continue concealing it like this, it will only expose you even more." The old man's expression was gentle as he looked at Lin Qing with a tinge of worry.

"Right, Elder Shu, this time, after getting rid of the poison, I still have something I need to inquire about." Lin Qing smiled bitterly as a warm feeling filled her heart.

In his entire life, there weren't many people who cared about him. The young man was troubled, and the Xue Immortal who had promised him an oath truly treated him with care. Most likely, only this old man who had just stepped into the twilight would treat him like this.

Seeing that Lin Qing was unwilling to say more, the old man didn't force him. Young people had their own responsibilities, and sometimes it wasn't necessarily a good thing for them to forcefully ask about what young people wanted to do.

"Qing Zi, why do you need to be so unreasonable with me? In the past three years, I've practically seen you mature, how could you be so hypocritical? If you have something to say, just say it."

After hearing the old man's words, Lin Qing's heart felt warm, and there seemed to be moisture in the depths of her eyes. Lin Qing knew that she was deeply moved.

Without any delay, Lin Qing slowly walked over to a wooden stake. She let out a breath of impure air and let it out. Her palms emitted a golden aura, and with a "pfft" sound, the sound of metal hitting metal rang out.

Initially, he didn't mind it, but upon seeing this scene, his eyes widened in disbelief, and the corners of his lips curled upwards in speechlessness.
