Chapter 575
The Dream Family Master was not worried, and the other ancient doctors had nothing to be anxious about.
Originally, the Transformation of Strength Pill was not considered a poison, it only caused one’s internal energy to be temporarily sealed, and did not have any great effect on the body.
With Ying Ziji’s rank as a fourth level member of the Dan Alliance, it was indeed just at her level to be able to refine the Chemical Strength Pill.
The Grand Elder stroked his beard and thought that when he returned to the Dan Alliance, he would give Ying Ziji a few more prescriptions similar to the Pulse Shattering Pill, so that he would have the ability to protect himself in the future.
Ninety nine percent of ancient doctors did not have ancient martial arts cultivation in their possession, but with gold and silver needles and pills they could defend themselves.
“Hey, is this a tie? What should we do if we’re tied?”
“It seems to be a check on the level of toxicity of the two pills, whoever is higher wins.”
But just then, Meng Qingxue’s face suddenly went white, and her body trembled violently.
The smile on the Dream Family Master’s face had not yet been lifted when his expression instantly changed drastically, “Qingxue!”
Meng Qingxue directly spat out a mouthful of blood.
“……”
Seeing this scene, a shocked voice was lost from the floor.
The Grand Elder also didn’t expect that Meng Qingxue hadn’t even refined the antidote to the Transformation Pill, and didn’t even react, still a little dazed.
He took the antidote made by Ying Ziji from the Grand Elder’s hand and immediately fed it to Meng Qingxue.
But at this time, the poison had already broken out, and the antidote was still a step too late.
Meng Qingxue spurted out another mouthful of blood, her face was as white as paper, and her breath was lowered.
Her lips trembled as she reluctantly took the antidote.
The antidote worked very quickly, and after Meng Qingxue took it, her face gradually returned to a bit of blood colour, but her fingers were still trembling.
Obviously, her body could not withstand the strength of the medicine at present, and the two mouthfuls of blood had damaged her vitality even more, and she did not know what to expect.
It all happened so quickly that no one on the floor could react.
“At such a young age, you are so ruthless!” The Dream Family Master swept over with a cold eye, “It’s just a competition, just stop at the point, is it necessary to press so hard?”
“Or are you really afraid that Qing Xue will outcla*s you, leaving you with no way to gain a foothold in the ancient medicine world and losing face in front of your man, and you are not happy about it?”
“Yes, it’s just a competition.” Fu Yunshen stepped forward and stood in front of the girl, his eyes were cold, but he was smiling, “If the person in trouble today had been the other way around, would you still be saying such things?”
The Dream Family Head was choked.
The person who had the accident reversed?
Of course he would say that this was the rule of the tournament, who was to blame for being less skilled than others?
“As for losing face?” Fu Yun Shen turned his head, “Ah, no, my family girl, I like her any way, I also want her to be weaker, she can rely on me completely, please.”
With a single sentence, Meng Qingxue’s face that had barely returned to its blood colour turned miserable white once more, and blood spilled out from the corner of her mouth again.
The third time she vomited blood, it was not because of the medicine, but because she was greatly emotionally stimulated.
Seeing Meng Qingxue in this state, most of the people did not dare to stay any longer and found an excuse to leave.
What if the Dream Family blamed them for the incident later?
The Dream Family Master clenched his fist and let out another cold laugh, ”Grand Elder, you still don’t test the toxicity of the two pills? The Pulse Shattering Pill is a prescription that is already available, but what about this pill that she made?”
He pointed at Ying Ziji, “I think she is the evil doctor! Otherwise how else could a good Pill of Transforming Power still make someone vomit blood?”
The Grand Elder spoke coldly, “Master Meng, be careful what you say, the trial was very clear that day, and Elder Fuxi also said that Miss Zidian is not an evil doctor.
The Dream Family Master could not speak.
However, the toxicity of the two pills did need to be tested.
The Fourth Elder took the remaining dregs of the medicine and went to test them.
Soon, the results came out.
“This pill is indeed still a Transformation Pill, only that its attribute is cold, and as for toxicity, it is even less, not even comparable to the Pulse Break Pill.” The fourth elder of the Dan Alliance spoke, “If Miss Qingxue had refined the correct antidote, nothing would have happened halfway.”
In short, it was that Meng Qingxue was not as skilled as others, and not that Ying Zigui had the intention to harm anyone.
The Dream Family Master’s expression changed again.
Surprisingly, it was still the Chemical Power Pill?
And it was not poisoned?
How was this possible?
Fourth Elder Zhang added, “Moreover, if Miss Qingxue’s body was healthy, even if she hadn’t taken the antidote in time, her limbs would at most be stiff and unable to move, and the pain would definitely be absent.”
An Ling was taken aback, “Just by switching the order of the herbs, the medicinal properties would be different, and with it, the antidote would have to follow?”
“So that’s what makes Miss Ziggy so brilliant.” The Fourth Elder nodded, “She has a deep understanding of medicinal theory and knows that by switching the order, she can turn a hot-leaning Chemical Strength Pill, into a cold-leaning one.”
“When the Dan Alliance taught pill refining, they also specifically taught this to the members, but it really isn’t good to apply, you must know how to adapt and not be rigid, the knowledge from the books can also be used as an example.”
This kind of pill refining competition by the Winter Hunt was actually able to greatly improve the ancient doctors’ pill refining abilities.
This was because in the process of making medicine, one not only had to pay attention to one’s own medicine furnace, but also to observe the other party.
Even if one missed a wrong step, there was a chance that the wrong antidote would be refined.
This was not a secret move, but a crushing of strength.
Meng Qingxue naturally noticed that Ying Zigui had changed the order of the herbs, but hadn’t really thought that it was a change in the medicinal properties.
Meng Qingxue’s lips trembled, the taste of rust in her throat was heavy, she spoke out with difficulty, “I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean to hurt you, the antidote is with the Grand Elder, nothing will happen to you, I really didn’t ……”
She just wanted to prove that she was better than Ying Zidian in pill making.
Ying Zidian’s eyes were cool and indifferent, “But I don’t like pain.”
She could endure pain, yet that didn’t mean she liked it.
She doesn’t harm people, but she will guard against them.
If it was just the Pulse Breaking Pill, there would be no pain at first.
But not so with the Broken Vein Dan, it would hurt when it came up.
And if one didn’t look closely, one really wouldn’t be able to notice that Meng Qingxue was actually refining the Pulse Breaking Dan.
This was because the difference in grams of herbs needed for the two pills was not that great.
Meng Qingxue had seen her changing the order of the herbs, but still hadn’t refined the correct antidote.
Fu Yunshen’s fingers tightened little by little, his palm was cold and his heart hurt like it was cracking.
He didn’t know how she had died before, and how she could still live with her memories.
And apparently, her memories had only been restored for a short time when he first met her, which gave her the ability to protect herself.
But that year alone, when Ying Zigui had her blood forcibly drawn in the Ying family, she couldn’t eat or sleep well, and her spirit suffered great oppression.
It had been hard enough.
He had hurt, he knew how bad it was.
“She hurts, my heart hurts.” Fu Yunshen’s eyes finally fell for the first time, “You’re in pain, it’s okay.”
There are no words more heartbreaking than these nine words.
Meng Qingxue simply couldn’t take it, and blood flowed down from the corner of her mouth like a broken bead.
“Fu Yunshen!” The Dream Family Head was even more furious, “Can you keep your mouth shut? You know full well that her seeing you in an emotional state would involve her body, you did it on purpose?”
“Yes, on purpose.” Fu Yun Shen faded, he stroked the girl’s head, “Let’s go.”
Because he had experienced too much, he had never said anything heavy to others.
It’s true that he likes someone, and there have never been many people who like him.
Those who came to confess their love, he had always politely refused, it was a sign of respect for the girls.
Meng Qingxue had caused him a lot of trouble in the ancient medical world, and had even been pushed to a life-or-death situation a few times, with the slightest possibility of not paying attention and not pulling through.
Fu Yunshen didn’t care and took it as practice.
But when it came to Ying Zidian, things were different.
Meng Qingxue’s face became pale little by little, even her lips were bloodless, and her voice trembled: “I really didn’t want to hurt her, I just wanted to show you that there are still places where I can outperform her ……”
Fu Shen listened on the sidelines and finally understood what was going on.
Over the years, there had been quite a few people from the Meng family who had begged to marry Meng Qingxue, but Meng Qingxue had never married.
On the one hand, it was because her health was really bad, and on the other hand, it was also because she had refused them all.
So Meng Qingxue actually liked his ancestor?
“Why do you want to compare? Even if you have compared, what can you do? He doesn’t like you or he doesn’t like you.” Fu Shen was quite puzzled, but spoke to the point, “To be honest, even if Miss Ying she doesn’t know how to refine pills, Brother Fu still likes her.”
“You don’t think that if you’ve competed, Brother Fu will be able to see you, do you?”
Meng Qingxue had been in the deep harem of the Meng family for so long that she simply didn’t know how feelings were for a while?
Inside Meng Qingxue’s chest, blood surged so badly that blood once again spilled from her lips.
Finally, she couldn’t bear it and fainted.
The Dream Family Master’s face was blue.
The one who said this was Fu Shen.
In terms of status and identity, Fu Shen was a direct member of the Fu family, the same as Meng Qingxue.
Especially since it seemed that recently Fu Shi had ended up coming out of hiding.
The Dream Family’s old ancestor had long since ceased to be the first generation to start the family, and there was no way he could compete with Fu Shi.
The Dream Family Head could only swallow this anger raw, unable to even reprimand.
He also had no time to delay here and immediately sent Meng Qingxue back to the Dream Family to ask the elders to come and see him.
But Meng Jingxue stood still, unable to return to his senses.
It was because he had finally realised a very long-standing problem.
He had always thought that the ancient martial artist he had sent to rob Ying Zigui’s herbs at that time had stumbled upon a hunter from the O Continent side.
But now it seemed obvious that they were not.
Those ancient martial artists were only martial apprentices, their ancient martial cultivation was not high, and if they were ancient doctors, they would be able to nullify low-level ancient martial artists by relying on their medicine.
Meng Jingxiang took a deep breath.
It was a blunder.
He thought he wouldn’t run into an ancient doctor outside, but he didn’t expect Ying Zigui to still be so strong.
Unfortunately, this time was also past the time to obliterate Ying Zigui.
With the Dan Alliance covering them, there was no way for the Dream Family to move.
Meng Jingxiang frowned and went back to the Meng family as well.
**
Evening.
Ying Zidian and Fu Yunshen went to the river to set off river lanterns.
When they finished, Ying Ziji brought out Dududu and poked its little belly: “I’m going to close up until the end of the winter holidays, watch the pigs for me.”
Fu Yunshen tilted his head: “Hm? Not coming out until you reach Ancient Martial Arts Master?”
Retreats were common for ancient martial artists, and a year was considered short.
Yue Fuyi had gone into seclusion at the end of last year and still hadn’t come out.
Those of the ancestor generation were closed for ten years at a time.
Only he wasn’t, because he had raised his cultivation by fighting in life and death.
Ying Ziji tossed Dudu to Fu Yunshen: “It might not reach that yet, but the last ninety years should be no problem.”
Right now, her ancient martial arts cultivation was around seventy-eight years.
But it was really difficult to break through that step of a hundred years of ancient martial arts sect master cultivation, and how many people were stuck at the point of ninety-nine years where they couldn’t make a half step forward.
She looked up, “What?”
“Nothing.” Fu Yunshen tucked the doodad that was making protesting grunts into his pocket and raised an eyebrow, “It’s a long distance relationship again.”
“One more day.” Ying Ziji leaned on his shoulder, “I’ll give you a little more kiss.”
Fu Yunshen’s peach blossom eyes curved up, “What should I do, girlfriend? I like you more and more.”
Where can I find such a cute girlfriend?
Ying pushed his face away, expressionless, “I told you, don’t turn on me.”
Fu Yunshen quickly agreed, accepting kindly: “Okay.”
After a pause, he added, “Can’t help it, it’s natural.”
“……”
**
The next day.
Ying Ziji went to the Dan Alliance to pick up the herbs for the retreat.
The atmosphere inside was not quite right.
There was an old woman sitting there, with white hair but a face of about forty.
“Miss Ying.” Hall Master Li stepped forward and, after frowning, said, “This is an ancestor of the Meng Family, whose name is Meng Wan, and she is one hundred and twenty years old this year.”
This age was a long, long time to be in ancient medicine.
Many ancient doctors died at the age of seventy or eighty, just like ordinary people.
Ying did not care and handed the prescription to Hall Master Li.
Hall Master Li took it and added, “It should still be the same thing as yesterday.”
The Dream Family was coming, and it was still the ancestors who were coming, and the Dan League couldn’t stop them.
“Ying Zidian, you are very capable.” Meng Wan’s eyes sharpened as she spoke lightly, “It’s nothing to beat Qingxue, why don’t you come with me and compete?”
Chapter 576
In her twenty-four years of life, Meng Qingxue had never been so aggrieved and hurt.
The jewel that the Meng family held in their hands could be bullied by outsiders like this?
But it was true that she was on the field of play, and there were so many people watching.
Besides, Meng Qingxue didn’t lose because Ying Zidian deliberately gave her the deadly poison.
It was because she had overlooked the blind spot where Ying Ziji had switched the order of the herbs and made the wrong antidote.
It was also because her body couldn’t stand cold and a cold-leaning Xinjiang Pill would do a lot of damage.
This was clear to the Meng family, but no one in the Meng family could swallow this.
Meng Qingxue was also raised by Meng Wan.
Back then, when she was pregnant with Meng Qingxue, Madam Meng unfortunately met an evil doctor and was not caught in the end, but her body was damaged.
Meng Qingxue was very thin and weak when she was born, and the elders of the Meng family were very distressed and took care of her until now.
“It’s fine if you don’t compare.” Meng Wan knocked on the table and placed a pill on the tabletop, faintly, “You take this pill, last three minutes, and I will give you the antidote.”
Ying Zidian slowly turned his head.
The girl had a beautiful face, her eyebrows were cold and sparse.
The slightly upturned phoenix eyes brought out a bit of flamboyance.
She was so beautiful that she was shockingly beautiful.
Meng Wan’s gaze fluttered.
She also knew that Meng Qingxue liked Fu Yunshen, and now she had to admit that Ying Ziji did have a good skin.
“Senior Meng Wan, you are going too far.” Hall Master Li’s expression changed, “What’s wrong with Miss Ying, why should she take this pill?”
If he was not mistaken, this pill was the Heart Devouring Pill.
If she ate it, how long would it hurt?
“I didn’t say she was at fault, on the contrary, I quite admire her talent for pill making.” Meng Wan rambled, “But Qingxue is suffering because of her, I can’t stand to see it, no?”
With that, she looked at the girl again and smiled, “Of course, you have elders to back you up, and I welcome that, but the question is, do you?”
Meng Wan was one hundred and twenty years old, and the oldest Grand Elder of the Dan Alliance was only eighty.
Could she compete with her in medical skills?
Ying Ziji rolled up his sleeves and said indifferently, “My family’s elders are not as shameless as you are.”
Meng Wan’s face instantly sank.
She had always been highly respected and her juniors all respected her, who dared to talk to her like that?
Meng Wan was about to open her mouth to reprimand, but she was interrupted.
“Meng Wan, you’re really shameless in your old age.” There was a laughing sound, mixed with a bit of mockery, “You’re over a hundred years old, you’re almost in the ground, and now you want to compete with a young girl in medical skills?”
“Bullying a junior is nothing, why don’t we compete?”
Meng Wan frowned and lifted her head to look over.
It was a woman with a face in her early thirties, with a kind face and clear eyebrows.
Surprised, Hall Master Li immediately knelt down and worshipped, “Alliance Leader!”
The Dan Alliance Chief, Qiu Man, was also one hundred and twenty years old this year.
She was a rank seven pill refiner and also represented the peak of the Dan Alliance’s medical skills!
Not many ancient doctors lived past a hundred years old, and there were definitely not more than a hundred in the entire ancient medicine world combined.
Meng Wan’s expression changed and her voice squeezed out from between her teeth, “You’re actually still alive.”
The head of the Dan Alliance hadn’t appeared for a few years, and the Dan Alliance said to the public that the head of the alliance was in seclusion.
“You’re still alive, how could I be dead?” Qiu Man glanced at Meng Wan indifferently, “Isn’t there going to be a pill refining competition? Come on! Let’s compete now!”
“Let everyone also see if you still dare to be arrogant when comparing with someone of the same level!”
Once Qiu Man returned this time, the elder group and the deputy alliance leader also followed in.
Surrounded by so many people, Meng Wan’s old face turned red, and her face was even more painfully hot.
She couldn’t stay any longer and left with a grimace.
“Tsk, just one Heart Devouring Pill? I thought it was some great medicine.” Qiu Man snorted, “If the Dream Family comes again, just tell them I’m back, they can come as they please.”
Ying Ziyi carved up the Dan Alliance, which had always lacked a genius.
Although Lin Qingjia was also a member of the Dan Alliance, she was still from the Lin family after all.
Ying Zigui, the Dan Alliance was going to cover well.
Qiu Man personally asked someone to fetch the medicine from the herb store for Ying Zidian, and asked, “You took a month’s leave, what did you do?”
Ying Zidian was brief: “Watching TV dramas.”
She took a step back and nodded slightly, “I’ll go first.”
Qiumen nodded, then was confused for a moment: “What’s a TV series?”
Hall Master Li took out his mobile phone in a tangled manner, “It’s this.”
Qiu Man frowned and studied it for a moment, “How did this person get into it?”
Hall Master Li was busy saying, “No, no, no, League Leader, this is video, it’s high tech out there.”
Qiu Man waved his hand, “Trouble, I’m going to the pill refining room.”
**
After Ying Ziji had finished getting the herbs and met with Fu Yunshen, she went to find the Tea Sage.
The old lady was pressing the little medicine boy to bake fish for her.
Upon seeing the girl, she was instantly happy: “Come, come, Ying girl, sit down.”
She pointed to a place and said to Fu Yunshen, “Go over there.”
Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows, “OK, just be nice to her.”
The old lady grunted, “Nonsense.”
The status of a tea saint and a normal ancient doctor was not yet the same.
To put it simply, although the ancient divine doctor had a high level of attainment in the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate, he was also a divine doctor at the level of the ancestor of the Heavenly Doctor Sect.
But when he was gone, in a few years, there would still be a second divine doctor who would appear, even more powerful than him.
However, with the loss of the Tea Sage, not to mention a few years, even if it is decades or centuries, it is unlikely that there will be another genius who has reached the ultimate level in the cultivation of medicinal herbs.
The Tea Saint did not have much ancient martial arts cultivation in his body, not even ten years.
But it so happened that neither the ancient martial artists nor the evil doctors would harm Tea Sage by half.
Because there are some medicinal herbs that just really only she can grow.
The old lady’s place is safe instead.
Ying Zidian was treating the old lady inside, while Fu Yunshen and the little medicine boy were keeping watch in the courtyard.
After sticking needles into the old lady, Ying Ziji wrote a prescription: “Take the medicine regularly and you’ll be fine in seven days.”
The old lady took it and said, “Good, good.”
Ying nodded: “What is Granny’s heart condition?
“It’s not anything serious.” The old lady was silent for a moment and slowly, “My husband, who died at the hands of an evil doctor eighty years ago, also had his bones incomplete and was taken to refine medicine.”
Ying Ziji’s eyes slightly stared.
It was the evil doctor again.
Fu Shi had also told her about that bout decades ago, when the evil doctors were arrogant, one dead and a second, how they couldn’t be cleared away.
“Big brother, you’re so good.” On the other side, the little medicine child was cheerful, “I finally managed to clear my game.”
“Kids, they say that they are extremely clever.” Fu Yunshen knocked his bald head and curled his lips, “You don’t have a single hair, why are you still so stupid?”
The little medicine boy crouched in the corner and cried sadly.
Fu Yunshen inclined his head, his peach blossom eyes curved up and smiled, “Yao Yao.”
Ying Zidian turned back: “Hm?”
Fu Yunshen slowly said, “Let’s have a daughter.”
Ying Zidian raised his eyebrows: “Why are you thinking so far ahead? Besides, what has the son done to you?”
“The son I might not be able to resist bullying him, it wouldn’t be good to make him cry.”
“……”
The reasoning was so fantastic that there was no way to refute it.
**
The other side.
The Fu family.
An Ling came to look for Fu Shen.
Fu Shen threw the work of refining pills to him again and laid himself down on the rocking chair, ready to sleep.
An Ling said, “I saw the Meng family send someone out just before I came.”
Fu Shen was distracted, “What’s wrong?”
“The Dream Family is short of medicine, the Tea Sage went out to the mountain, and those elders went to the other side of the mountain to beg for medicine.” An Ling replied, “The elders went to beg in person, the Tea Saint would still sell a face,”
It wasn’t that the Tea Saint didn’t sell medicine, it was just that her temper was really unpredictable.
When she was happy, she would even set up a stall in front of the Dan Alliance and have a big sale at a jumping price.
This time when the Tea Saint came out, indeed many people were lined up ready to beg for an audience.
“Oh yes, I met the Tea Saint at the Winter Hunt the other day.” It was only when this was mentioned that Fu Shen remembered, “The old lady is quite a glutton, no, she should be able to eat.”
That night, Yunshan and Yunwu had shot a pig and a whole sheep, as well as quite a few chickens and rabbits.
Fu Shen thought how he would get a share of a roasted rabbit leg, but it turned out that the old lady ended up taking all these fatty places.
The little bald head beside the old lady was also a good eater.
Fu Shen ended up eating seven or eight spicy rabbit heads and his mouth was numb.
“You’ve seen it?” An Ling first froze, then became excited, “Where did you see it? Is it hard to say that the Lin family side pulled the strings for you?”
He had only heard that Lin Qingjia and the Tea Sage knew each other.
But when An Ling thought about it, he felt that it was not right.
The Ancient Medical Community Winter Hunt, although an invitation was handed to Lin Qingjia, but Lin Qingjia didn’t come.
Thinking about it, it was just as well.
Lin Qingjia was an ancient martial artist, and a conservative estimate was that her cultivation level had exceeded fifty years.
The captain of the medium-sized family escort team was also at this level of cultivation, but these escort captains were all people who were over seventy years old.
Something like the Winter Hunt was too easy for her, nothing challenging.
When she came, it would be a full-on crushing of the field.
Fu Shen lifted her spirits and yawned, “No, it was Miss Ying who brought me to meet her, she and the Tea Sage are forgetful friends.”
