I Became the Alchemy Master by Picking Up Trash-Chapter 262 - 260: Detoxification

When Primordial Spirit and Tang Dou appeared with the Shadow Spider Emperor in the patient treatment area, the hall eerily quieted down, and all the still-awake injured widened their eyes and stared.

Bai Ling steadied herself, walked over to Primordial Spirit, pointed at the massive spider body, and asked, "This, is this—Death Shadow Spider?"

Without its legs, this thing was fluffy and round, surprisingly—kind of cute!

"This is the Shadow Spider Emperor, the grandmother of the Death Shadow Spider, and its venom is best for detoxification!"

Bai Ling was overjoyed and immediately gathered all the free Healing Masters to prepare the Antidote. Everyone took out beakers, mortars, and other tools, lining up behind Bai Ling to receive the venom needed for medicine making.

Bai Ling looked at the Shadow Spider Emperor’s fangs opening and closing, and then at Primordial Spirit’s fair and tender skin. She said worriedly, "Primordial Spirit, the fangs are very sharp, maybe you should let someone else do it!"

Tang Dou rolled up his sleeves: "Right, Primordial Spirit, you step back a little, I’ll handle it!"

Primordial Spirit stopped him: "No need, extracting the poison sac is a technical job, a slight mistake and it could rupture. The venom is scarce and can’t be wasted."

After saying that, Primordial Spirit reached out and grasped the Shadow Spider Emperor’s sharp fangs. Amid Bai Ling and Tang Dou’s gasps, he gently pulled.

Like pulling a small cookie from a cream cake, the razor-sharp crescent-shaped tooth, with a snap, lightly fell into Primordial Spirit’s hand.

The Shadow Spider Emperor let out a scream like a boiling kettle, desperately wriggling its body to escape, but in the face of Primordial Spirit’s absolute strength, it was a futile struggle.

Primordial Spirit repeated the process, pulling out the other fang, then reached into the bloody hole of the tooth socket, gently nudged, and a perfectly intact, basketball-sized white poison sac was scooped out, falling into Primordial Spirit’s arms.

Bai Ling was delighted and quickly took out a metal tube, plunging it into the poison sac. Primordial Spirit slightly tilted the sac, and the green, translucent venom flowed into the beaker.

After obtaining the venom, Bai Ling wasted no time and dashed into the medicine room. The Death Shadow Spider’s venom, once removed from its body, must be used within half an hour, or it loses its potency. That’s why Primordial Spirit went to such lengths to bring the Shadow Spider Emperor back alive.

The Healing Masters lining up behind Bai Ling also quickly received the venom and hurried to make the Antidote.

Until the last Healing Master had received the venom, the poison sac still had plenty left. Primordial Spirit hadn’t seen Lin Caier at all, but when he looked toward the patient area, he saw her visiting each bed, appearing to spread a saintly glow.

Primordial Spirit rolled his eyes, took out the Medicine Cauldron, and began alchemy beside the Shadow Spider Emperor, occasionally taking materials from the spot, adding some of the Shadow Spider Emperor’s blood or plucking tufts of fur and tossing them into the Medicine Cauldron.

All the injured who were awake in the hall curiously watched him. They didn’t understand the Medicine Making Skill, but they felt that Primordial Spirit’s every move had an indescribable unique charm that immersed their minds, making them forget their pain.

With a soft "bang," white smoke overflowed, and the Detoxification Pill was complete.

Everyone who had been immersed in Primordial Spirit’s Alchemy Dao was brought back to reality by the sound. The mysterious feeling they had just experienced vanished like the white smoke dissipating from the cauldron.

After checking the quality of the Detoxification Pill, Primordial Spirit nodded and picked out a few, putting them in a bottle to hand to Tang Dou.

"Dou Er, keep these as a spare."

Tang Dou received them happily, feeling reassured, thinking their friendship was rock-solid.

"Thanks, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back; I haven’t finished yet."

"Alright, be careful, we’ll chat when the beast tide recedes!"

"Okay!" Tang Dou left happily, while Primordial Spirit turned to check on the girl who was most severely poisoned.

In less than an hour, the girl’s condition had worsened, with more bursting blisters. Despite the Cleaning Talisman on the bed sheet, the seeped pus and blood stains were difficult to clean in time.

An Earth Element Spirit Female Warrior who had just finished a Limb Healing Technique walked over, carefully asked: "Healing Master Li, do you need help?"

She had seen Healing Masters lift the girl to clean the blisters, which was a task requiring strength. Although she only had one arm usable now, she could still assist with such work.

Primordial Spirit smiled at her: "No need, I’ve got it."

"Uh, alright, alright."

Primordial Spirit’s smile turned his big eyes into crescent moons, with two shallow dimples at the corners of his mouth, making Ai Li’s heart skip a beat.

Primordial Spirit, showing no disdain, gently opened the girl’s mouth, placing the Antitoxic Pill in her mouth, where it melted into a cool liquid medicine that flowed down her throat into her stomach.

While waiting for the Antitoxic Pill to take effect, Primordial Spirit took several herbs, crushed them, soaked them in water, and skillfully wiped the girl’s blistered skin.

Ai Li’s gaze lingered on Primordial Spirit’s pale little hand, smudged with pus, filled with a surge of emotion. This was a true Healing Master. Compared to Primordial Spirit, Lin Caier, who only spoke pretty words, seemed utterly hypocritical.

"Master Li, will she...will she have scars?" The girl was still young, and it would be a great misfortune if poisoning ruined her appearance.

"There won’t be any on her face, but there might be some slight marks on her body. If she minds, she can buy Scar Removal Ointment at the shop."

Primordial Spirit quickly cleaned the girl, checked her monitor, and found all her readings improving.

"Sister, does your wound still hurt? I have some healing pills here." Primordial Spirit had a good impression of the Female Martial Artist who proactively offered help and didn’t mind giving her a Heavenly Essence Pill to speed up her recovery.

But Ai Li waved her hand and stepped back: "No need, no need, Healer Bai has already treated me, I’m not in pain. Such precious medicine should be given to those who need it more."

The martial masters of Qianyuan Continent probably all knew about the Red Medicine from the shop; its healing effect was excellent.

Normally, Ai Li wouldn’t pass up such an opportunity, but with the current scarcity of medical resources, she couldn’t take life-saving medicine for her own quick recovery.

Ai Li’s actions didn’t go unnoticed by Primordial Spirit, who grew more satisfied, pulling her hand and placing the pill in her palm, saying:

"It’s just a low-grade Heavenly Essence Pill, nothing valuable. Sister, recover quickly and slay more Star Beasts, then it’s worth taking my medicine."

"...Alright!" Ai Li’s eyes reddened, and she threw the pill into her mouth.

She heard that Master Li liked lower-grade Crystal Stones, so she’d return to the battlefield and collect more to give her later!

Primordial Spirit then went to see several other seriously poisoned patients, giving them the medicine. By that time, Bai Ling and others had also finished making the Antidote and joined the rescue efforts.

The Shadow Spider Emperor’s venom proved to be the best ingredient for the Antidote. With everyone’s efforts, the toxins in all patients disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the ones who took Primordial Spirit’s Antitoxic Pill recovered particularly quickly.

The girl who was most severely poisoned had already awakened, looking blankly at the white ceiling, with a glint of post-survival joy in her eyes.

"You’re awake? How do you feel?"

The girl turned toward the direction of the voice, and her eyes widened suddenly: "Prim—Primordial Spirit?" Exhilaration surged in her heart: "Did you save me?"

"Yes."

Two faint blushes appeared on the girl’s pale cheeks as she tremblingly took out a poster from her space button and softly asked: "Can you sign it for me? I’m one of your Star Fans..."
