The moment Tang Jie opened the bottle, he felt an ill foreboding, like some great danger was imminent.

This sense of danger came entirely from Tang Jie's instinct, and he fiercely threw the bottle away.

The bottle exploded with a bang, large amounts of black liquid flying out from it.

Caught off guard, Tang Jie could only thrust his palm forward while flying backward.

He realized what he had been struck by.

Spirit-Boiling Powder was a corrosive poison that excelled at penetration. Upon contact, it would seep into the body, and it was said that it could even seep into the depths of the soul.

It was said that the poison had been created in an attempt to develop a poison that could even kill the soul.

But when the poison was complete, it was discovered that while the poison could seep into the soul, it was extremely weak, so it was abandoned.

Later on, someone began to research it again and found a method of tracking this poison, so it ultimately went from a lethal poison to a divine tracking medicine
