Chapter 25

Qin Han stored the Pharmacist Profession Token in his backpack and walked out with an expectant expression. However, as soon as he stepped past the hall's entrance, he encountered a figure clad in black leather, with shoulder-length hair tinged yellow and red, wearing a ferocious mask and carrying a medicine pouch slung over one shoulder.

The moment they locked eyes, the stranger erupted in fury.

"Who are you? How did you get into my Peach Blossom Realm?"

"The aura of my Pharmacist Profession Token has vanished—you must have stolen it!"

As he spoke, his face beneath the mask seemed to tremble with rage. Swiftly, he pulled a medicine jar from his pouch and hurled it between them with a thud.

Instantly, a cloud of poisonous mist spread across the courtyard!

A red system alert immediately flashed: You have been attacked by the Malicious Physician Hua Que.

But in the next moment, Qin Han's Unique Treasure, the Witch Poison Pearl, sprang into action. With a whoosh, it swept away all the poisonous gas in the courtyard.

Qin Han didn’t suffer even a single point of damage.

Not only that—after absorbing the poison, the Witch Poison Pearl's attributes underwent a transformation:

Witch Poison Pearl: Unique Treasure

Feeds on witchcraft poison, the bane of all poisons in the world.

Attacks inflict Deadly Poison (200 HP per second for 10 seconds).

Skill: Soul Accumulation Technique (Witchcraft—Absorbs the resentment of slain creatures and can be actively released during attacks.)

Skill: Deadly Poison (AoE Damage—Inflicts 500 HP per second, with a 35% healing reduction effect, lasting 10 seconds.)

Qin Han was stunned.

Five hundred damage per second?

Damn, thank the heavens I have the Witch Poison Pearl, a top-tier Unique Treasure. Otherwise, this skill alone would kill me in less than three seconds! And it even counters healing!

While Qin Han was reeling from shock, the Malicious Physician Hua Que was even more astonished.

"Impossible! A mere Level Zero human—and the weakest kind at that—how could you possess a supreme treasure like the Witch Poison Pearl?!"

Inside the small courtyard, Qin Han wasted no time. The moment Hua Que spoke, he immediately mounted his Nightmare and fled for his life.

After sprinting over a dozen meters and confirming Hua Que wasn’t chasing him, he turned around, drew his bow, and fired an energy arrow straight at the enemy’s chest!

Thunk!

A yellow damage number floated up: -1010.

The Witch Poison Pearl’s toxin damage, however, didn’t trigger at all.

At the same time, Hua Que’s health bar appeared:

Malicious Physician Hua Que: Level 20 Special Monster

His name was marked with an Orange Skull suffix!

Silver Skull for Elite Monsters.

Golden Skull for Boss Monsters.

And an Orange Skull? That meant a Royal-Level Monster!

Royal-Level Monsters were exceedingly rare in the entire Game of Eternal Life, each possessing world-shattering power.

The guide clearly said this was just the Peach Blossom Paradise, a safe zone!

Safe?!

If not for the Witch Poison Pearl protecting him, anyone else would’ve been obliterated in an instant.

Considering the game’s dynamic scaling for monster strength, Hua Que’s 688 damage—500 per second—meant that in higher-level Beginner’s Villages, the damage could reach 5,000 or even 50,000 per second!

With just this one skill, even if the entire Beginner’s Village were maxed out at Level 20 and decked in full Dark Gold Equipment, they’d still stand no chance.

And...

Hua Que's HP reached an astonishing 70 million, a thickness that was utterly staggering. Even more exaggerated was the fact that when this guy got injured, a green halo automatically appeared beneath his feet. Instantly, a terrifying green number popped up above Hua Que's head! Qin Han, refusing to believe it, swiftly fired a barrage of arrows, directly wiping out over 10,000 of Hua Que's HP. Immediately after, another outrageous green number appeared above the opponent's head. This terrifying recovery rate nearly broke Qin Han's defenses. Good grief, the HP he painstakingly depleted couldn't even keep up with the other's recovery speed—what was the point of fighting? In front of the small yard, after being repeatedly shot by Qin Han's arrows, Hua Que's fury soared to its peak. "Kid, don't think just because you have the Witch Poison Pearl protecting you, you can do whatever you want."
