Chapter 19 Removing the Gu Poison, and the Antidote in the Herbal Soup
Qingyuan Gate.
Inside the dungeon beneath the Medicine Master's Hall.
Lin Zhou held a curved knife, his expression sharp as he stared at the black-haired patient in front of him.
After the olfactory enhancement effect took effect, Lin Zhou focused his sense of smell on the patient in front of him.
Found it.
The strange smell emanating from the bloodworms emanated from the neck of the black-haired patient, swimming back and forth. Although the speed was not very fast, it penetrated deep into the neck flesh, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect.
If it weren't for the strange smell emanating from the bloodworms, which could be transmitted through the skin, Lin Zhou would definitely not have been able to pinpoint their exact location.
Lin Zhou waited for a while.
Once the bloodworm left the black-haired patient's artery, it decisively swung its curved knife with swift speed and precise aim, instantly causing a spurt of blood to gush from the black-haired patient's neck.
Lin Zhou's curved blade hooked out a blood worm with a hundred legs that was moving around.
"Excellent swordsmanship!"
A refined old man with a goatee and wearing a white pharmacist's robe praised Lin Zhou after he saw Lin Zhou directly wield his knife and pick out the blood worm.
Pharmacist Wang and his colleagues tried many methods, but failed to find any trace of the bloodworms.
I never expected that Lin Zhou, such a young intermediate pharmacist, would have such talent and such a keen sense of smell.
Previously, Pharmacist Wang knew that among the disciples of some major sects in Qingzhou Prefecture, there were some with special talents, each possessing abilities that ordinary people could not match.
That is why the disciples of the top sects in Qingzhou Prefecture are able to stand out among the younger generation in the prefecture.
Pharmacist Wang had never seen those disciples with top talents, but now, seeing Lin Zhou's strike, he seemed to understand.
If Lin Zhou had been born in a prefectural city and had been nurtured by a powerful force, with his exceptional talent, he would have had a high chance of joining one of the top sects in Qingzhou Prefecture.
Perhaps in ten years or so, he could become a figure who stirs up trouble in Qingzhou Prefecture.
"good!"
"Pharmacist Wang, begin testing the medicinal decoction we've prepared!"
This was the first time Li Sui had witnessed Lin Zhou's skills, and he was quite impressed by Lin Zhou's abilities. He realized that recruiting Lin Zhou into the Qingyuan Sect was the right decision; without Lin Zhou, things would have been very different.
They still couldn't find the bloodworms on these black-haired patients.
at this time.
Li Sui's call drew Wang Yaoshi's attention back, and he began to take out the prepared medicinal soup and soak the bloodworms in it one by one.
If a particular herbal decoction works, it means that the decoction is usable.
There are ten types in total.
They were all personally prepared by Pharmacist Wang.
Li Sui used a specially made iron chopstick to pick up the struggling bloodworms and put them one by one into the medicinal soup in front of him to observe them.
The first bowl had no effect.
On the contrary, this made the bloodworms even more active.
The second bowl was still useless.
The third bowl.
...
It wasn't until the eighth bowl.
It's sizzling!
When the bloodworm came into contact with the medicinal soup, a sound like strong sulfuric acid corroded it, and the bloodworm immediately let out a sharp, piercing cry as it entered half of its body into the medicinal soup.
It was completely melted away in just two breaths.
"It worked!"
A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of both Li Sui and Wang Yaoshi.
This mission is extremely important for Qingyuan Sect. If they can be the first to prepare a medicinal soup that can help those black-haired patients outside the city, the county government will grant Qingyuan Sect a regular constable position in the Divine Constable Sect.
The Divine Arresting Gate is a powerful force in the Chu Kingdom. Joining the Divine Arresting Gate as an ordinary constable is just the beginning. If you accumulate more contribution points within the Divine Arresting Gate, you can be promoted to Iron-Rank Constable.
Using this as a springboard, one can then work in Qingzhou Prefecture.
The only thing the gang members in their county longed for was to go to Qingzhou Prefecture.
The top sects in Qingzhou Prefecture recruit disciples within the prefectural city. Once someone holds a position within the prefectural city, it signifies a connection with the higher-ups in Taihu County, which represents prestige for the county's gangs.
Li Sui has three sons and three daughters. The fact that he was able to obtain the qualification of a constable in the Divine Constable Sect and send his eldest son to report for duty is definitely a good thing for their faction.
Although Li Sui's eldest son, Li Zhangde, is only at the Bone Forging stage, he will definitely be able to advance to the Meridian Opening stage in the future. With his personal guidance, he may also be able to advance to the Qi Martial Master stage.
Furthermore, once you become an Iron-Rank Constable of the Divine Constable Sect, you can exchange for various precious medicines and elixirs from the imperial court, making your chances of advancing to a Qi Master much greater than in the Qingyuan Sect.
This was also a way out that Li Sui was planning for his son, which is why he was so concerned about it.
The other sects in the other counties are all eyeing this lucrative opportunity.
Now it seems that this piece of fat meat has already ended up in Li Sui's mouth.
"Pharmacist Wang, what is the cost of this eighth bowl of medicinal soup?"
Li then inquired.
If the cost of the medicinal soup is too high, it might influence the county government's decision.
"Reporting to the sect leader, the cost is not high, only 150 coins per bowl."
The pharmacist stroked his goatee and said with a smile.
"Hahaha!"
"good!"
"A great achievement!"
"You've done a great job in Lin Zhou's matter."
"Once this medicinal soup is widely available, I, the sect leader, will personally reward you with two thousand contribution points!"
"You can exchange Qingyuan Sect contribution points for a variety of things, including cultivation techniques, precious medicines, and weapons."
"There are far more options than those from the Medicine King Gang."
"It will definitely dazzle you with choices."
Upon hearing what Pharmacist Wang said, Li Sui began to calculate in his mind that the profits involved could be substantial.
However, the main purpose of this matter was to secure a constable position in the Divine Constable Sect. Li Sui only needed to make a small profit; obtaining the constable position smoothly was what he valued most.
"Your subordinate thanks you, Sect Master!"
Lin Zhou clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and said.
"You're welcome."
"You've only just moved in, and it's really not right to make you run around like this. You should rest for a few days."
Li then finished speaking.
Lin Zhou then took his leave. The matter of the black hair disease was now resolved, and he was able to use this opportunity to jump from the Medicine King Gang to the Qingyuan Sect, which could be considered a stroke of luck.
However, even if an ordinary pharmacist encounters such an opportunity, they would not be able to seize it. Only pharmacists like Lin Zhou, who possess the ability to interpret terms, can obtain the benefits of this opportunity.
After registering himself in the Pharmacist Hall, Lin Zhou flipped through the Qingyuan Sect Pharmacist's Handbook.
As an intermediate pharmacist, he has a lot of freedom in his monthly tasks; you can choose not to do any tasks at all.
You can only receive the minimum monthly allowance.
However, almost all pharmacists have to take on missions within their sect and earn rewards in order to survive comfortably within the sect.
After all, many pharmacists have families to support, including close relatives and descendants. If they don't take on missions from the Pharmacist Hall, it will be difficult for them to survive in the Qingyuan Sect with their large families.
Under this rule, pharmacists will consciously learn the tasks and earn contribution points.
Contribution points within the sect can be exchanged for silver coins, but silver coins cannot buy contribution points.
