The narrator tells us that he has never seen chu yingcheng so angry before. He says that years ago, the herb hall sent chu Mingtian to join their sect and learn alchemy. Supposedly, he could have become the poison king of their herb hall, but he ended up dead. The narrator says that he admires Mingtian's talent, but that it was all due to his over-inflated ego.

Mingyan can choose whether to give it to the monarchs or not, and Mingyan will have to choose between the two. The problem is that Mingyan doesn't have the antidote yet, so he can't trade it for the antidote from yan song.
