Chapter 2 Systems Thinking

The cold centipede crawled around Li Shuidao's neck, and Li Shuidao could even clearly hear the trembling sound of the centipede's foot segments.

In the blink of an eye, the big centipede went to harm others again, and each of the twelve Li clan members was crawled over by the big centipede.

The vast majority of people remained calm, and although their bodies were tense, they did not make a sound.

Being crawled by poisonous insects, Li Shuidao felt that his neck was itchy. It was obvious that he had been poisoned.

Everyone present was poisoned...

"You have all been poisoned by centipede poison. If you don't care, you will die in half an hour at most." Li Tianliang spoke calmly, as if he was describing an ordinary thing.

The disciples present took out antidote pills and stuffed them into their mouths.

Jiedu Pills claim to be able to detoxify hundreds of poisons. The characteristics of this pill are that it can dilute the toxicity and temporarily enhance the immunity of the person taking the medicine, allowing the person taking the medicine to carry the deadly poison. This is the principle of Jiedu Pills being able to detoxify hundreds of poisons.

But if you are facing immortal cultivator-level poison, detoxification pills will have no effect at all.

After the Li clan moved to Heishan, there were many snakes, insects, rats and ants, so it was inevitable that the clan members would not be bitten by poisonous substances. If they were bitten and then took an antidote pill, it would generally be fine.

After Li Shuilang and Li Shuiting took Jiedu Pills, the skin crawled by centipedes seemed to become more itchy.

Centipede poison is a wood poison among the five poisons. Licorice cannot cure it at all, but it is counterproductive.

The so-called five elements of metal destroy wood, and they must be attacked by metal poison before centipede poison can be detoxified.

Li Shuidao looked at the plate that Li Tianliang had not put away.

Five lifelike insects are drawn on the five-color porcelain plate: golden scorpion, earth-colored gecko, jasper toad, bright red poisonous snake, and dark green centipede.

This is actually the best tip!

Scorpions correspond to gold poison; geckos correspond to earth poison; toads correspond to water poison; poisonous snakes correspond to fire poison; centipedes correspond to wood poison.

A small amount of scorpion venom can be used to fight poison, or metallic herbs such as golden silk grass, golden dew fruit, golden leaf vine... can also detoxify.

Even metallic ores such as rhodolite and mercury sand can be used...

If that doesn't work, grinding the bones of metallic monsters into powder and applying them to wounds can also detoxify them.

Li Shuidao thought about a dozen ways to detoxify, but he did not speak rashly.

A twelve-year-old doesn't need to know much.

"You go to the dining hall, shovel the ashes from the pot and apply it on the wounds to detoxify them." Li Tianliang said calmly.

"Doctor, take your leave."

"Doctor, let me take the first step."

"Thank you, doctor."

Many disciples left one after another without any signs of panic.

Li Shuidao shook his head secretly. Baicao ash can indeed detoxify wood poison, but he actually ignored it.

On the first day, the disciples were teased by centipedes. On the second day, Li Tianliang took the disciples to catch toads in the swamp and pond.

Toads are much weaker than centipedes. None of the disciples present have ever caught a toad, even poisonous toads. After all, these things don't bite.

All the disciples jumped into the water one after another, showing great bravery. Then several brightly colored poisonous snakes sprang out, and all the disciples were poisoned and fell to the ground.

Li Tianliang stood on the shore and said loudly: "All things in the world are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. There must be an antidote within ten steps. You can wipe the wound with the toad you caught to detoxify it."

Toads are water poisonous and snakes are fire poisonous.

The five elements water overcomes fire.

All the disciples wiped the wounds with toads, and a sense of coolness suddenly emerged, and the body numbed by the poisonous snake regained consciousness.

"Since you are no longer afraid of snake venom, let's find a way to catch a snake each!" Li Tianliang ordered.

The third day.

Li Tianliang took everyone to a dilapidated house to catch geckos. With this experience, everyone cautiously broke into the dilapidated courtyard.

As expected.

There were no geckos in this broken house at all. A dozen brown poisonous scorpion crows as big as the soles of their feet were killed in a swarm. The twelve disciples were knocked down instantly. Their wounds were glowing with golden light and they were extremely painful.

At this time, Li Tianliang appeared again and said loudly: "All things in the world are mutually reinforcing and interfering with each other. There must be an antidote within ten steps. Drinking snake blood can detoxify."

All the disciples took out the snake's blood from the bags around their waists and drank it in one sip. The pain on their bodies immediately decreased sharply.

The fourth day.

The disciples returned to class, and Li Tianliang took out the Five Elements Tray and began to explain the principles of the five poisons and the five elements.

Some people seemed to understand, while others were still confused.

Everyone takes a break after class.

"Doctor Tianliang, I have a question that I don't understand, and I hope you can enlighten me."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Doctor Tianliang, I heard that there are venomous snakes in the sea, called sea snakes. So are sea snakes fire or water?" Li Shuidao asked with clasped fists.

"Ah...this..." Li Tianliang frowned and thought for a long time before saying: "Sea monsters are all water monsters, which means that poisonous snakes are not necessarily fire poisonous."

"I understand, thank you Doctor Tianliang." Li Shui knew the answer and did not continue to ask.

In fact, he had some guesses about this issue. Now he asked Li Tianliang just to confirm his thoughts. Unfortunately, Dr. Tianliang didn't understand either.

As the saying goes, there must be an antidote within ten steps. Everything in the world has a system. Within a system, there is the so-called balance of yin and yang, and the five elements are interdependent. Outside this system, it cannot be forced, which is equivalent to Guan Gong.

Zhan Qin Qiong is not in the same system at all and cannot be compared.

That sea snake is indeed a water attribute monster, but if it is in the ocean system, then it is still a fire poison.

In the next few days, Li Tianliang continued to teach his disciples how to recognize poisons, identify poisons, detoxify, refine poison pills, and refine antidotes...

During this process, Li Shuidao gained a deeper understanding of the art of poisoning.

In an isolated system, there must be a balance between yin and yang, and the five elements complement each other.

This is the fundamental reason why there must be an antidote within ten steps, because the antidote found within ten steps must be found within the system, not outside the system.

Ever since he opened his system thinking, Li Shuidao has seen that everything is yin and yang, the five elements are in harmony, and they form a system of their own.

If the yin and yang are messed up and the five elements are mismatched, the system will spontaneously evolve towards the balance of yin and yang and the harmony of the five elements.

This is the way of heaven!

If people are also in this system, then they must avoid being negatively affected by this change. This is the so-called avoidance of poisoning.

Just like two armies fighting, watching the fire from across the bank.

Theoretically, when the two armies are fighting, they can not only watch the fire from across the shore, but also reap the benefits.

If you can profit cleverly, you can naturally improve your cultivation level.

This may be the way to cultivate poison!

While the students were still reciting the prescriptions of Jiedu Pills and Purple Du Powder, Li Shuidao was already standing at the height of heaven, thinking about the path of poison cultivation, and tracing the origin to the essence.

Although they learn the same things, their level of thinking and broadening their horizons are completely different.

Li Shuidao recorded his understanding and guesses in his notebook.

If it were turned over by Li Tianliang, he would not be able to understand it, because the notes are all written in Chinese characters.

In this way, Li Shuidao followed his classmates to learn the art of poison cultivation for nearly two years.

During the past two years, Li Shuidao followed his classmates to work with poisonous insects and poisonous weeds day and night, identify the properties and toxicity of the drugs, and refine the poison pills and antidotes.

Although Li Shuidao had already read the relevant toxicology and pharmacology in his family's Buddhist Scripture Pavilion, he was still shallow in his knowledge on paper and knew that he had to practice this matter in detail.
