Bai Suzhen has been feeling restless lately.
That day, she had just accepted Chen Jin's entrustment to take care of the Peace Preservation Hall's business and had just left Qiantang County when a strange illness suddenly occurred in the city.
People who are sick usually suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, their complexions are sallow, and they sweat like liquid. Within a day or two they become too weak to get out of bed.
Xu Xian'er was so anxious that he looked through medical books and tried all the prescriptions, but he couldn't even relieve the symptoms.
Bai Suzhen once became suspicious, so he turned into a wisp of breeze at night and sneaked into the patient's home to investigate carefully.
At this sight, her heart sank.
What kind of epidemic is this? It's clearly a poisonous poison that is extremely harmful.
The method of refining this poison is very tricky. If the antidote was not prepared by the person who made the poison, even with her thousands of years of practice, it would be difficult to completely eradicate it.
In desperation, she had no choice but to secretly activate her magic power every day in the clean room in the backyard of the Peace Preservation Hall, and mix wisps of magic power into the decoctions the patients drank.
Although this method cannot detoxify, it can temporarily suppress the toxicity and relieve the tragic situation of endless vomiting and diarrhea.
The news spread like wildfire.
When all the medical clinics in the city were helpless against this strange disease, only Peace Preservation Hall could stabilize the condition.
In addition, Peace Preservation Hall did not take any money from the poor people, but within three or two days, people seeking medical treatment formed a long and winding queue from the street to the end of the street.
Bai Suzhen sat behind the curtain, secretly pinching the magic formula with his fingertips, feeling the magic power flowing through his body like a floodgate opening.
It's okay to cast spells for three or five people, but to protect this city full of people... even if she has practiced for thousands of years, she is gradually feeling overwhelmed.
There were fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and his cheeks, which were originally as smooth as jade, also looked a little pale.
She knew that she must find the poisoned monster as soon as possible and seize the antidote.
But the dark crowd of people seeking medical treatment in front of her, and the eyes full of hope and pain, were like invisible chains, tightly tying her to this small place.
"It would be great if Xiao Qing were here..." She sighed softly, her voice tired.
Although that girl is impatient, Five Ghosts Transport Technique is so good at it that he can at least help her share some of the burden, allowing her to get away and follow the traces of the villain.
Looking at the endless crowd of people outside the window, Bai Suzhen took a deep breath, concentrated on the magic formula again, and injected another pure mana into the medicinal soup in front of him.
Wang Daoling is in a bad mood recently.
He hid in a dark corner of a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city, with a water mirror in front of him. The mirror clearly reflected the scene of a long queue in front of the Peace Preservation Hall.
The people were shoulder to shoulder. Although they had sick looks on their faces, their eyes were full of expectations for the Peace Preservation Hall. The winding queue stretched from the street to the end of the alley, and it was several times more lively than he expected.
"Damn! Damn it!"
Wang Daoling slapped the stone table hard, causing the medicine bottles on the table to jingle.
The evil poison he carefully refined was originally intended to create an epidemic that would make the people of Qiantang miserable, and then ruin the reputation of the helpless Peace Preservation Hall, causing the stock price to plummet, so that he could take the opportunity to buy it at a low price.
But he never expected that Peace Preservation Hall would be able to suppress this sinister poison.
He spent many years refining this poison, which is specifically targeted at the human spleen and stomach. Ordinary magical herbs cannot crack it. How come Peace Preservation Hall can stabilize the patient's symptoms?
There must be a monk in charge of this Peace Preservation Hall.
But he didn't know the other party's background, so he didn't dare to come rashly. <Yanfu: Starting from Flesh of Vision> classic quotes appeared frequently to find resonance. He could only watch the situation develop in the direction he least wanted to see.
What made him even more angry was that the stock price that he originally wanted to suppress was now rising steadily.
Previously, Peace Preservation Hall had a lot of reputation for its free clinics and cultivation of divine seeds. This time, it has exclusive "right to treat" strange diseases, and the people are grateful.
If this momentum continues, it won't take long for the Peace Preservation Hall's assets to overwhelm all the shops in the city, making Qiantang the richest man!
"I worked so hard to plan, but instead I made a wedding dress for someone else!" Wang Daoling was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, his chest heaving violently.
Wang Daoling There was a flash of fierceness in his eyes, and he turned around and rushed to the alchemy furnace deep in the ruined temple.
This furnace was dark, with strange runes carved all over it, and a green will-o'-the-wisp burning at the bottom of the furnace, which was exactly the tool he used to refine the evil poison.
He gritted his teeth and opened the furnace lid, threw several evil materials in his arms into the furnace one by one, and added more toad toxins.
"Peace Preservation Hall, can't you suppress it? I want to see how long your spiritual power can last!"
He made a secret spell with his hands and recited an obscure incantation in his mouth. The fire in the furnace suddenly surged, burning the alchemy furnace red.
Under the influence of high temperature and spells, the materials in the furnace gradually merged into a dark purple venom. Fine bubbles appeared on the surface of the venom, exuding a disgusting stench, which was even more sinister than the previous poison.
This newly refined "Heart-Rot Poison" not only inherits the previous properties of eroding the spleen and stomach, but also has the effect of "spiritual entanglement".
Once it enters the body, it will not only aggravate the symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, but also absorb the monk's spiritual power. The more spiritual power is used to suppress it, the faster the poison will spread, and it will even erode the practitioner's cultivation.
After the refining was completed, Wang Daoling put the venom into several small porcelain bottles, disguised himself as a ragged beggar, snuck out of the ruined temple with his hunched body, and sneaked into Qiantang County city.
He specializes in areas with dense crowds of people.
Pretending to drink water at a well and dripping venom into the water, or wandering around a bun shop or porridge stall in the market and smearing venom on the food while the stall owner is not paying attention.
Within half a day, the number of Qiantang County patients suddenly increased, and the symptoms were several times more severe than before.
Many people not only suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, but also began to convulse all over, with black blood oozing from their mouths and noses, and their breath was so weak that they almost stopped breathing.
Peace Preservation Hall The queue in front of the door suddenly swelled several times, with cries and pleas coming and going, and it was so crowded.
Bai Suzhen had just suppressed the poisonous effects of a patient. Before he could take a breath, he saw another group of seriously ill patients being carried in. Their faces were black and their lips were purple, and they looked as if they were on the verge of death.
She didn't dare to delay, and quickly sat back in front of the case. After retreating from everyone, she saw that the patient was unconscious, so she directly cast a spell to save him.
White spiritual light condensed on her fingertips, but as soon as the spiritual power touched the patient's meridians, she felt a pulling force, and the poisonous poison pounced on her like a hungry wolf, devouring her spiritual power crazily. At the same time, the poison flowed back along the spiritual energy, drilling into the meridians along her fingertips.
Bai Suzhen felt a shiver in his heart, and quickly mobilized his cultivation to resist, and finally managed to temporarily trap the poison. However, most of the spiritual power in his body was consumed in an instant, and his eyesight turned black.
"This poison... has changed." She whispered to herself.
She realized that the new poison was several times more sinister than the previous ones, and it was also specifically targeted at spiritual casters. Apparently, the other party had upgraded the poison in order to exhaust her cultivation.
However, she also found out what kind of poison this poison was.
She counted with her fingers and knew the other party's position in her mind.
"Toad spirit, I've got you here!"
