Izroth received a flood of system alerts; however, his primary focus was on the Hundred Death Poisoning Pill in his hand.

'It's both unique and grade-five. It's my first time seeing a pill like this in RML. The Immortal Hydra's blood is certainly one aspect of it, but... Does it also have something to do with the non-reoccurring effect?'

Unlike the commonly crafted pill, the Hundred Death Poisoning Pill had both temporary and permanent effects upon consumption.

This meant that just like the Self Awakening Pill, it was a rare pill that could be consumed more than once and still bring about benefits!

There were just two problems. Even though Izroth only used a single drop of the Immortal Hydra's Blood, he was still using an invaluable mythical-ranked material. Therefore, mass producing them with the same quality was out of the question.

But, more importantly, such a pill was the natural enemy of assassins who relied on poisonous means to get rid of their targets.

If it were just a normal antidote, there would be no issue since most antidotes were limited to specific poisons. And, while there were several ways to cleanse weaker poisons, the same could not be said for those more cruel and lethal high-ranking poisons.

The frightening thing about the Hundred Death Poisoning Pill for assassins was that it did not just grant resistance to a thousand poisons, it also acted as a Poisoning Panacea. In other words, it was a cure-all pill when it came to poisons!

If anyone were to produce such a pill, they would immediately become the target of those lurking in the shadows. After all, how could they allow their primary killing method to suffer such a massive setback?

Of course, Izroth was not afraid of those lurking in the shadows. Nor was he against mass producing the Hundred Death Poisoning Pill. But, now was not the right time.

'Until I find a suitable substitute for the Immortal Hydra's blood, I will hold off on introducing this at the Mystical Realm Palace.'

The first player crafted grade-five pill in RML—if others knew about this, they would faint from shock.

That's because, currently, most players were still struggling to craft grade two pills consistently.

As for those who were capable of crafting grade three pills, while the exact number of individuals was unknown, it was believed to be less than five in all of RML!

And, grade four pills? Even Worldly Skies, the person known as the second Pill Emperor, had just recently managed to step through that door.

Therefore, for Izroth to craft a grade five pill when most others were still two to three stages behind—it was no wonder the system viewed it as an unprecedented achievement!

After he examined the pill, Izroth walked over to Seina and stopped a few steps before her.

"Once you consume this pill, the remaining toxin in your body should fully dissipate," Izroth said as he handed the pill over to Seina.

He then continued, "I also recommend that you make some adjustments to your diet. In particular, what you drink."

When Izroth said those last few words, he glanced over to observe Yuveil's reaction.

However, despite her unpleasant attitude, Izroth did not see any clear signs of someone who had just been indirectly exposed.

Nevertheless, it was also a possibility that Yuveil was simply good at hiding herself. And so, he could not readily jump to conclusions. After all, without any proof at hand, it remained a suspicion.

'I'll end things here. In the end, this is an internal matter of the Order of a Thousand Blossoms. It is up to her to solve it. By treating her poison, I've done my part.'

The quest only stated that he had to find a way to cure the Holy Maiden. And, while he had taken a liking to the master and disciple pair, Izroth had other important matters to attend to that required his attention. He held no obligation to the Order of a Thousand Blossoms.

Besides, once the poison was cured, Izroth had a striking feeling that Seina would be more than enough to deal with things on her own.

After Seina accepted the pill from Izroth, she did not immediately consume it. Instead, she carefully scrutinized it.

"Amazing... It is only a grade-five pill, but the strong medicinal scent it's releasing is clearly above that level. It's as if two separate pills at different levels have merged into one while retaining their own unique identities. Even after crafting a few pills that have undergone Pill Rebirth myself, it is the first time I have seen such a phenomenon. How fascinating." Seina said aloud as she could not hide her inner Apothecary.

"So what if it's undergone Pill Rebirth? If it can't cure your illness, then it's useless. Not to mention, it's a suspicious pill containing only poisonous ingredients. How can such a thing possibly cure anyone? I wouldn't be surprised if it gave you a stomachache instead." Yuveil stated.

Then, as if an idea had suddenly come to her head, a slight grin appeared on Yuveil's face.

"But, on the off chance that the pill does work, this young man would have done a great deed for our Order. Of course, you must understand that as the one who carries the title of First Guardian, it is my duty to ensure and protect the interests of the Order above all else. Naturally, that also means making sure your health is taken care of, Holy Maiden." Yuveil said without mincing her words.

Seina inwardly frowned. She did not know what Yuveil was up to, but considering her abrasive personality, the Holy Maiden knew that it could not be anything good.

Yuveil set her sights on Izroth and said, "Since you crafted two pills and our Order gathered the ingredients for it, shouldn't that pill also naturally belong to us? That's why, using my authority as the First Guardian, I hereby declare that you turn over the second pill in your possession for extensive testing. Once we have confirmed that it will not harm the Holy Maiden, we will then feed the pill to a poisoned beast to confirm its effects. If the poisoned beast survives and fully recovers after some days of observation, only then will we consider allowing the Holy Maiden to consume the pill."

She then continued, "Normally, we would not have had the time to do so; however, since our Holy Maiden was able to recover to the point of moving around and displaying some strength, it should not be a problem to delay it for a few more days."

Sychia's eyes widened in shock. A few days? Just because her master could move around, Izroth had already stated back in the room that the effects were only temporary! If she had to wait a few days for testing and everything else to consume the pill, wouldn't it be too late?

Her words sounded as though they came from a place of concern, but wasn't Yuveil basically trying to sentence her master to death?!

"Oh? And if I refuse to wait for such nonsense... Just how do you and the guardians plan to stop me?" Seina said with a cold gaze as a heavy aura pressed down on Yuveil and swept throughout the entire room.

Yuveil winced from the pressure as her expression darkened. However, the grin on her face only grew wider.

"This is why you have no allies among the guardians, you ignorant brute...!" Yuveil thought to herself.

"Obviously, even if we were ten times braver, we dare not attempt to stop the Holy Maiden. It's just that if the pill fails and something ends up happening to you, then... Oh my, I wonder who the Order will turn to for answers? Perhaps it is the disciple who brought an unknown person back to our Thousand Blossoms Peak and the senior sisters who aided in her efforts." Yuveil stated.

"...You dare threaten my disciples?" Seina's entire expression shifted as a suffocating pressure completely encompassed Yuveil.
