Chapter Summaries

Xiao Yi Xian discovered a poisonous gas spreading through Green Mountain Town, but Mister Yao refused to help her address it that night. After studying the toxin, she treated the first wave of patients and began testing a remedy, though she did not know if it would work.

• Xiao Yi Xian detected an unfamiliar airborne poison and urgently warned Mister Yao, who told her to deal with it the next day.
• Xiao Yi Xian collected a sample of the gas and studied it through the night.
• A shop assistant woke Xiao Yi Xian to report that more than a hundred people and several shop assistants had fallen ill with similar symptoms.
• Xiao Yi Xian examined the patients and declared that someone had poisoned them rather than an epidemic causing their illness.
• Xiao Yi Xian wrote a prescription for an apprentice to prepare and told Doctor He that she would need to test her ideas to see whether the patients could be cured.

As poison spread through Green Mountain Town and medicinal herbs ran short, Xiao Yi Xian sought new ways to treat the sick. She discovered that Mu Li's blood could cure the poison, leaving Mu She to shield his son from the crowd of patients.

• Xiao Yi Xian sent mercenaries to gather scarce herbs and published her prescription despite Boss Yao's objections.

Chen Cheng tried to isolate Xiao Yi Xian from the herbs she needed to treat the town’s poison victims, but Xiao Yi Xian devised a scheme to sell him the shop’s old stock at a high price. The patients still had no treatment, leaving her worried despite the chance to make Murong Zhi lose money.

• Ka Gang sold twelve Three Spring Flowers to Boss Yao for 200 Gold Coins each as medicinal herb prices soared.
• Chen Cheng ordered Murong Zhi to buy up the herbs in Xiao Yi Xian’s prescription and distract mercenaries with high-paying jobs, then planned to capture Xiao Yi Xian.

• Boss Yao praised Xiao Yi Xian’s plan, but she remained troubled because it would not help the untreated patients.
