Poison yan is shocked to learn that the secret of the flame heart is no longer a secret. He says that he already knows that the mine contains the secret, and that he can no longer keep it a secret anymore. The brat asks him if he is looking for death, and he answers that he is. He tells him that the only way he can be safe is if he seals his body with blood. He adds that the rotten spirit can spread throughout his body and that the spirit energy is even easier to use when dealing with this poison. He also tells the brat that if he uses the poison, he will have a chance to kill him. He explains that he did not expect the brat to be so strong, since he didn't know that he could use spirit energy to beat him. The only reason he could beat the brat was that he exploited his weakness. If one is careless, even spirit-gathering realm-creatures will die. He speculates that the brat swallowed the poison to protect his cultivation. He doesn't think that he will grudge the kid when he recovers, but he does say that the poison is very toxic, and the brat will die within three days.
