Wei Junjie waved his hand, and a generous amount of powder scattered through the air.
Seeing the powder falling, Bai Li Hongzhuang raised her fair hand and shielded herself, preventing the powder from reaching her clothes.
"Be careful, it's poisonous!" A cold voice rang out, and in that instant, Bai Li Hongzhuang understood what it was.
Upon hearing Bai Li Hongzhuang's words, Xia Zhiqing and the others quickly reacted, swiftly retreating and covering their mouths and noses.
However, no one expected Wei Junjie to suddenly employ such a tactic, catching them off guard.
"You're a poison master!" Bai Li Hongzhuang narrowed her phoenix eyes. She had suspected Wei Junjie's identity before, but she never imagined that he would be a poison master!
As Bai Li Hongzhuang's words fell, the cultivators below the high platform revealed expressions of horror. They retreated dozens of meters and looked at Wei Junjie with different eyes...
A poison master, in the Holy Profound Continent, was a profession that was both loathed and feared.
Poison masters possessed various types of poisonous powders, venoms, and pills. They operated in the darkness, rarely revealing their identities.
In this world, people instinctively disliked those who operated in the shadows.
No one dared to offend a poison master. If their cultivation was insufficient, they might have a chance to escape, but when faced with all sorts of strange poisons, they had no chance at all.
However, no one had expected Wei Junjie to be a poison master.
After learning of Wei Junjie's identity, everyone realized that his sinister and dark appearance was a true portrayal of a poison master.
"Hehe." Wei Junjie's laughter was hoarse and unpleasant. "The poison pill you fed to Nan Gong Aochen back then was quite potent. It took me quite a bit of effort to counteract it. Today, I'll let you witness my expertise in poison!"
Wei Junjie's hands slightly extended, and Bai Li Hongzhuang could see them clearly.
Those withered fingers were now covered in pitch-black color, even the nails were slowly turning black. There was no semblance of human hands left.
Xia Zhiqing and the others were astonished. It was their first time encountering a poison master, and this appearance was truly terrifying!
Nan Gong Yujin's face showed a hint of satisfaction. "Bai Li Hongzhuang, meeting Wei Junjie means certain death for you today!"
Back then, when the epidemic struck the royal family, important members were infected, and the entire Qingxiao Kingdom seemed to have fallen into hell.
Fortunately, they were lucky enough to encounter Wei Junjie and his master.
For ordinary people, they would naturally avoid poison masters like the plague. However, for the royal family at that time, Wei Junjie and his master were a great stroke of luck.
Physicians understood illnesses the best, and only poison masters had the greatest knowledge of poisons.
With the assistance of Wei Junjie and his master, the epidemic was finally resolved.
While everyone was amazed and fearful, Bai Li Hongzhuang remained calm.
In her past life, she had also encountered poison masters, and even one of her masters was a renowned Poison Saint in the Holy Profound Continent!
Poison masters were covered in poisons from head to toe. Just a slight touch could lead to severe poisoning and an untimely death.
Wei Junjie's ten fingers were pitch-black, a distinct characteristic of a poison master. Some poison masters even had black blood flowing through their veins.
Immersed in poisons all year round, they had completely transformed into toxic beings.
It was an extremely terrifying profession, but also a cruel one towards oneself.
