Why Not Hurry and Get Eighth-Rank Detoxification Pills to Cure the Poison!

Zhao Taixing looked at Elder Wu Qun with admiration.

When Zhao Taixing was young, he also dreamed of becoming a master alchemist, but he lacked the talent and could not make any further progress after reaching a certain level.

Even though he didn't become a top-tier alchemy master, Zhao Taixing still held Palace Master Wu Qun in absolute esteem!

Palace Master Wu Qun's Rejuvenation Finger just now was already a level that over 99% of alchemists in the world could never reach in their lifetime.

Zhao Taixing tried his best but could only stabilize Liu Bo's grandmother for half an hour. However, as soon as Palace Master Wu Qun pointed out, the life that was about to be extinguished was instantly rekindled. This is the terrifying power of the top alchemy master.

After the Rejuvenation Finger stabilized Liu Bo's grandmother, everyone in the Liu Lineage present breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Bo bows in gratitude to Palace Master Wu Qun...

"Liu Bo, don't thank me so soon. Your grandmother's problem isn't that simple!"

Wu Qun naturally knew Liu Bo, after all, Wu Qun had visited Vast Heaven Holy Land many times, and Liu Bo had previously worked with Ma Liang on reception duties.

Liu Bo has basically been in contact with every big shot in the world. Of course, Liu Bo also knows that this is his Senior Brother Ma Liang giving him an opportunity.

After all, not everyone gets the chance to meet such influential figures.

In a sense, being able to make big shots remember your name is the first step on your road to success!

"Your grandmother must have been in very poor health before!" Wu Qun asked while observing the situation.

"Yes, Grandmother's health was very poor before... but this time when I came back to visit, Senior Brother Mu Bai specially refined some pills for her..."

As soon as Liu Bo said this, Wu Qun chimed in, "Then I was right; the problem lies with this pill!"

As soon as Wu Qun finished speaking, he noticed that everyone in the room was looking at him with strange eyes. Wu Qun immediately realized that what he had said was a bit outrageous.

"The problem I'm referring to isn't with the pill itself, but rather with Mu Bai... Just let me explain in detail. If I'm not mistaken, although your grandmother had been ill for a long time, she wasn't bedridden. After all, she wasn't a cultivator, and it's normal for her to be a little weak at her age!"

"But just two weeks ago, your grandmother's condition suddenly worsened, and she became bedridden, right?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bo did not reply, but Liu Yuanhong quickly stepped forward. "Palace Master Wu Qun is right, that's exactly it!"

"Then it seems there's no mistake, it's poisoning! And it's not just someone from your Liu Lineage who's been poisoned, everyone in Star City has been poisoned! Have you noticed that the number of people dying in Star City recently is far greater than before?"

Wu Qun made no attempt to hide anything at this point. Wu Qun explained that he had come to Star City from the Heavenly Medicine Palace because an old friend of Star City was seriously ill. However, while treating his friend, Wu Qun discovered that his friend was not suffering from any illness at all, but rather from poisoning.

But that wasn't the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that Wu Qun's first reaction was that someone had poisoned his old friend, but after some investigation, he found that this was not the case. Not only was his old friend poisoned, but his old friend's entire family had also been poisoned in the same way!

In the past few days, Wu Qun has traveled to many places in Star City and discovered that not only his old friend's family, but almost everyone in Star City has been infected with the same poison as his old friend!

This discovery shocked Wu Qun... To poison the entire population of an entire city—what kind of person could do that?

However, before Wu Qun could investigate these matters, Wu Qun discovered that the poison inflicted on the people of Star City was very strange.

After this poison enters your body, it won't take effect immediately. Instead, it will lie dormant within your body. If you are an ordinary person without any illness, you won't be affected by this poison much at all.

However, if you become ill, this poison can worsen your condition several times over, potentially causing you to die directly from a serious illness.

At this moment, Wu Qun checked the entire Liu Lineage and, just as he had suspected, everyone in the Liu Lineage had also been poisoned!

However, this poison lies dormant in your body and will never appear when you are not showing symptoms.

The reason why Old Mrs. Liu Lineage suddenly fell seriously ill and became bedridden half a month ago was because the poison entered her body and aggravated her old ailment... But if it were only under these circumstances, Old Mrs. Liu would not have suddenly fallen ill.

The reason this situation was discovered was because of the elixir that Liu Bo brought with him. Although Mu Bai had never met Old Madam Liu, with Mu Bai's methods, dispelling Old Madam Liu's illness and prolonging her life was hardly a big deal.

Therefore, the pills given by Mu Bai cured Old Lady Liu's various chronic illnesses immediately, and also strengthened her body.

The problem lies here: the illness was cured, but the poison was not eliminated. So while the pills strengthened Old Lady Liu, they also inadvertently strengthened the poison as well.

In this situation, the poison that was originally dormant suddenly erupted, so Wu Qun said that there was nothing wrong with his wording just now. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with Mu Bai's pills, but that Mu Bai probably never dreamed that Old Lady Liu would be poisoned.

Even if you ask me, Wu Qun, to take action, I still wouldn't consider poisoning.

So what really caused Old Lady Liu's problem wasn't Mu Bai's pills, but the poison that affected everyone in Star City!

Hearing what Palace Master Wu Qun said, everyone was shocked. Liu Bo remembered that when he first returned to Star City, he encountered several funeral processions. At the time, he didn't pay much attention to it, since funeral processions could happen anywhere, right?

The problem is that there have been so many funerals in Star City lately that coffin shops are about to explode with business!

Now Wu Qun has also helped Liu Bo solve the mystery: the entire population of Star City has been poisoned.

And based on the timeline, it was about two weeks ago!

Those who died may not have originally died from the disease, but rather from conditions exacerbated by the poison.

"Could Palace Master Wu Qun possibly cure this poison?"

"The antidote isn't difficult. This poison should be a corpse poison refined from some kind of corpse. I've already prepared an antidote pill, and I plan to distribute it throughout the city in the next few days. However, compared to the antidote, I think that if we don't find the person who poisoned me, they might become a menace!"

As Wu Qun spoke, he took out a pill and gave it to Liu Bo's grandmother. After taking the pill, Liu Bo's grandmother's condition stabilized, and the poison in her body should have been eliminated.

But now is clearly not the time to discuss the antidote; the real question is who poisoned them!

It's important to understand that Star City has a large population. Even if a super expert like Wu Qun were to take action, Wu Qun couldn't possibly poison everyone in a short period of time.

However, this time the corpse poison spread throughout Star City in a short period of time, and what's most bizarre is that everyone who poisoned the corpse had a purpose and a specific target.

However, this time, the purpose and targeting of the poison were completely unknown.

The poisoner seemed to have no specific target; it was as if they intended to target the entire Star City.

What's even more bizarre is that the poison's concealment is truly unparalleled. It was only by chance that Wu Qun arrived at the right time; otherwise, even an average Ninth Rank- grade alchemy master might not have been able to detect its existence.

"Palace Master Wu Qun, I will report this matter to the Vast Heaven Holy Land immediately and ask Senior Brother Xinghe to come!" Liu Bo knew that this was no small matter and he had to inform the sect as soon as possible.

But Wu Qun stopped Liu Bo before he could finish speaking, "Don't rush... don't alert them!"

Wu Qun said that he had prepared the antidote in the past two days, and then he would quietly place it in various water sources in Star City, so that the poison would be neutralized naturally within a period of time.

There shouldn't be many more people in mortal danger from now on.

Once everyone has been cured, the poisoner may strike again, which will be the opportunity to catch them.

However, if Chu Xinghe were to suddenly arrive in Star City at this moment, and the poison in Star City were to be neutralized, the poisoners would definitely realize that something was wrong. Once they chose to leave and strike again elsewhere, finding them would become extremely difficult.

It must be said that Wu Qun is a shrewd and experienced man, and Wu Qun considerations are perfectly sound.

Why hasn't Wu Qun announced the poisoning for so many days? Firstly, because if he announced it and told everyone that they were all poisoned, the entire Star City would definitely be thrown into chaos.

The person who poisoned them will surely escape, making it extremely difficult to find them again.

Because the corpse poison they used was one that Wu Qun had hardly ever seen before. Although the poison was not of a high level, it had the advantage of being well-kept secret.

Wu Qun said that if he hadn't carefully examined his old friend's physical condition, he might have overlooked the poison.

Moreover, this poison won't cause any problems on its own; it will only worsen your condition and lead to your death if you are injured or ill.

When many people get sick and die, everyone's first reaction is to think about whether it's some kind of illness or something; nobody would think of poison.

Therefore, Wu Qun said that Liu Bo could inform Chu Xinghe about this matter, but he must tell Chu Xinghe not to come to Star City for the time being under any circumstances. Otherwise, if the news of Chu Xinghe's appearance in Star City were to leak out, the poisoner would probably flee.

Liu Bo dared not delay in hearing what Palace Master Wu Qun said, and immediately contacted Senior Brother Xinghe using his disciple token!

In the Vast Heaven Holy Land, Chu Xinghe has been extremely happy these past few days!

Chu Xinghe declared, "I'm finally back to normal this time!"

The Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits and the Body Cultivation junior brothers were rapidly consuming resources, and the thirty-two Taiyin Evil Spirits junior brothers also went on a killing spree!

Especially regarding the Taiyin Evil Spirits, Chu Xinghe said he was keeping a close eye on it every day!

I'm terrified that some backstabbing dog will jump out and stab me in the back.

But this time, my Taiyin Fortune General really lived up to expectations!

Although each palace tries its best to discover the abilities of the Taiyin Fujiang, I, the Taiyin Fujiang, stand out for one thing: I have no ability, so do whatever you want!

This has driven all the palaces to despair!

Right now, Chu Xinghe is lying in his rocking chair, humming a little tune!

"When the Taiyang rises, I climb the hill... When I reach the top, I want to sing, to sing for my junior brother, who's gone crazy with killing!"

Just as Chu Xinghe was having a good time, the communication token was suddenly activated.

Seeing a Fathead Fish suddenly emerge from the message, Chu Xinghe couldn't help but swallow hard... Damn, Liu Bo made me hungry... Tell the kitchen, Fathead Fish will be the main dish tonight!

Braised Fathead Fish, steamed Fathead Fish, blanched Fathead Fish, pan-fried Fathead Fish, deep-fried Fathead Fish, Fathead Fish sashimi... bring me everything!

Just as Chu Xinghe was pondering which type of Fathead Fish to start with, Liu Bo explained the situation in Star City in detail.

Upon hearing Liu Bo's words, Chu Xinghe's eyes lit up!

What the hell?! The whole city is poisoned!

Shouldn't we quickly obtain Eighth Rank antidote to neutralize the poison?

Junior Brother Liu Bo, your trip home has yielded this unexpected surprise!
