Chapter 421: Poison Pill
The maid hesitated for a moment upon hearing this.
She was there to collect the pill. How could she leave before she had taken it?
In that moment of hesitation, fragrant smoke swirled up from the tripod furnace, carrying the scent of apricot blossoms.
Then came a CLANG.
The maid fainted and collapsed, the tray flying from her hands.
The scene startled the onlookers.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
Those with more knowledge quickly understood.
"Nan Hua is refining a Poison Pill. That's why he told the maid to step back. The smoke from the Poison Pill is toxic, and it knocked her out."
"What? A Poison Pill?!"
Among all the students present, this was the first time any of them had seen someone dare to openly refine a Poison Pill during a competition.
After all, the two academies had held this competition for so long, yet this was the first time in history anyone had ever refined such a pill.
