People in the Qin Dynasty sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

Chapter 63, Fei Yan, go and arrest Xu Qing.
The next morning, Xu Qing walked out of Mingzhu Palace feeling refreshed.

"Imperial Physician, your collar," the maidservant carefully reminded her.

Xu Qing looked down and saw a faint red lip print below her collar.

"Thank you for reminding me. After my examination, Madam is still a little weak and cannot get out of bed today. You must take good care of her."

Xu Qing wiped the red mark off his collar, straightened his clothes, and walked outside.

"What a hypocrite!" The maid cursed inwardly as she watched Xu Qing's departing figure, then turned and walked into the bedroom.

On the other side, Xu Qing came out of Mingzhu Palace and went directly to the Imperial Hospital. After a routine roll call and a few words of instruction, he returned to his room.

Looking at the five bamboo scrolls that the Tide Demoness had given him, Xu Qing was filled with emotion.

These bamboo slips were treasures of the Baiyue royal family, containing records of Gu poison techniques and antidotes, all of which were extremely precious.

Moreover, the bamboo slips that Chao Nu Yao gave him were all translated and contained Korean characters, saving him the trouble of finding someone who understood the Baiyue script.

"If it weren't for Lady Mingzhu's special request, I might still be a minor imperial physician. Of course, there's nothing wrong with being an imperial physician, it just means I can live off a woman and have more freedom in the Han King's palace."

As Xu Qing reflected on this in his heart, he opened the bamboo slips and began to read them.

As the sun began to set, noon arrived in noon.

As Xu Qing opened the third bamboo scroll and looked at its contents, a look of joy appeared on his face.

After spending half a day, he finally found records about the Soul-Devouring Gu.

"The Soul-Devouring Gu originates from Minyue."

"Although the Soul-Devouring Gu prefers to feed on living things, it is a cold and yin-type insect, so it can be combined with very warming medicines."

Looking at the solution to the Soul-Devouring Gu on the bamboo slip, Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and put the bamboo slip down.

The solution to the Soul-Eating Gu requires a wide variety of medicinal materials, most of which are common. However, the most sought-after main ingredient is hard to find.

"A highly sought-after medicine? I happen to have the Western Region Fire Toad that Han Yu sent back then, which is the best of the highly sought-after medicines. As for the other ingredients, the Mo family can prepare them later."

"It's time to rest. Let's go and inform Han Shen to prepare the necessary medicinal herbs."

After making his plans, Xu Qing put away the bamboo slips and left the Imperial Hospital with his medicine box.

After leaving the Imperial Medical Academy, Xu Qing did not rush back home, but went to the craftsman's shop where he had previously made silver needles and distillation equipment.

This craftsman's shop was actually a stronghold of the Mo family in Xinzheng City. After revealing his identity and purpose to the shop owner, Xu Qing returned home to wait for Han Shen to arrive.

Half an hour later, Han Shen arrived at Xu Qing's residence as promised, carrying a box.

"Imperial Physician, what brings you here so suddenly?" Han Shen asked Xu Qing, cupping his fists in greeting.

"Commander Han Shen, I have found the bamboo slips containing records about the Soul-Devouring Gu, and the method to break it is also recorded." Xu Qing said, placing the bamboo slips on the table.

"real!?"

Han Shen's face lit up with joy. He strode forward, picked up the bamboo slip, and began to search for records about the Soul-Devouring Gu.

Upon seeing that there was indeed a solution to the Soul-Devouring Gu inside, Han Shen was extremely excited and said to Xu Qing...
"Many thanks to the Imperial Physician for saving my Mo family's Grand Master. We, the entire Mo family, will never forget such a great kindness."

“Treating the sick and saving lives is our duty. Although we have a treatment method, the Mo family still needs to find the necessary medicinal materials,” Xu Qing said.

"Of course, the Mo family will gather these medicinal herbs as quickly as possible, and then we will need to trouble the Imperial Physician to refine them."

"However, the most potent medicines are not commonly found, so it may take some effort for my Mo family. Imperial Physician, could you please come with me to the stronghold outside the city again to transfer some internal energy to the Grand Master and stabilize the Soul-Devouring Gu within his body?"

Han Shen looked at Xu Qing with some nervousness. Because of Six-Fingered Black Knight's injuries, their Mo family had troubled Xu Qing time and time again, which made him even more embarrassed.

“Don’t worry about hot medicines. I have fire toads from the Western Regions here, which are perfect for medicinal use,” Xu Qing said.

The Western Region Fire Toad that Han Yu gave him was of no use to him; it couldn't be ingested to enhance his internal strength, nor did it have a relevant prescription for him to refine elixirs.

It would be better to do a favor and make the Mohists owe him even more.

"Imperial Physician, our Mo family has already troubled you too much. How can we accept this?" Han Shen lowered his head in shame.

The Mo family owes Xu Qing far too much. If things continue like this, even if the entire Mo family were to sell everything, they might not be able to repay Xu Qing's debt of gratitude.

"Human life is of utmost importance to doctors, more precious than a thousand pieces of gold. Saving a life with a single prescription is a virtue beyond measure. It's just a medicinal herb, no need to be so polite," Xu Qing said, waving his hand.

"Then thank you very much, Imperial Physician," Han Shen said, clasping his hands in thanks.

"How long will it take you to gather the other medicinal herbs?" Xu Qing continued to ask.

Now there are more and more martial arts figures in Xinzheng. The sooner he resolves the matter with the Mo family, the sooner he can stay out of it and avoid being targeted by the Yin Yang School.

After thinking for a moment, Han Shen said
“These medicinal herbs are all common items; we can gather them in just one day.” “One day? Tomorrow is the day I’m treating the people of Xinzheng, and the day after tomorrow is my day off. You should gather the herbs as quickly as possible tomorrow, and I will head to the outpost outside the city the day after tomorrow to treat the Grand Master’s injuries,” Xu Qing said.

"Alright, I thank the Imperial Physician in advance."

"We are truly sorry to have troubled the Imperial Physician these past few days. This is a small gift to express our gratitude, please accept it."

As Han Shen spoke, he opened the box, revealing its contents.

Looking at the rows of white, jade-like silver needles in the box, Xu Qing was somewhat surprised. Although he didn't know what material these silver needles were made of, he was certain that they were no ordinary items.

"Excellent needle!" Xu Qing praised.

"Has the Imperial Physician ever heard of the man of Qi who worried about the sky falling? Back then, my Mo family found a meteorite in the ruins of the State of Qi and refined a gemstone from it that was neither jade nor iron."

"Later, my Mo family's skilled craftsmen refined it and crafted it into this set of silver needles."

A look of pride appeared on Han Shen's face.

Xu Qing took out one of the silver needles. The soft silver needle felt like a piece of jade in his hand, but it was also very hard, no less than ordinary iron.

"You often treat patients and save lives by performing acupuncture, but ordinary silver needles are hardly worthy of your status as a divine physician. Therefore, the Grand Master had this item sent from the Mechanical City as a gift to thank you."

"In that case, I will not refuse."

Xu Qing accepted the silver needles without hesitation; he genuinely liked the set.

He had not yet mastered the Eight Swords of Noble Void, and his only means of combat was a set of acupuncture techniques. With the enhancement of these silver needles, he believed his strength would reach a new level.

Seeing Xu Qing accept the silver needles so readily, Han Shen felt relieved.

"I won't bother the Imperial Physician any longer. I'll go back now and have someone gather the medicinal herbs."

"it is good."

Han Shen wrote down the medicinal herbs written on the bamboo slip, bowed to Xu Qing, and left.

After putting away the silver needles, Xu Qing left the residence and headed towards the Imperial Hospital.

After returning to the Mo family stronghold, Han Shen told Six-Fingered Black Knight about his meeting with Xu Qing.

Upon learning that a solution to the Soul-Devouring Gu had been found, Six-Fingered Black Knight immediately ordered the Mo family disciples to begin collecting the necessary medicinal herbs.

At dusk, at the stronghold of the Yin-Yang School.

"Master Nan, the Mo family has made a new move. Han Shen met with Xu Qing again at noon today, and afterwards the Mo family began secretly purchasing various medicinal herbs," Fei Yan said to Chu Nan Gong.

"Medicinal herbs!?" Chu Nan Gong's expression turned solemn.

"Could it be that the Mo family obtained a way to break the Soul-Devouring Gu from Xu Qing?" Moon Goddess said with some surprise.

"Very likely. Since Xu Qing is known as a miracle doctor, his medical skills are naturally beyond question."

“Although the Soul-Devouring Gu is powerful and comes from Baiyue, the information about Xu Qing indicates that his father once traveled to the border area between Chu and Baiyue. Perhaps his family’s medical skills contain records about the Soul-Devouring Gu,” Chu Nan Gong said in a deep voice.

After meeting Xu Qing, the Mo family began collecting medicinal herbs. It was hard to imagine any other reason besides dealing with the Soul-Devouring Gu on Six-Fingered Black Knight.

"Once the Six-Fingered Black Knight recovers from his injuries, the Mohist School will surely retaliate against our Yin-Yang School. Master Nan, what should we do next?"

Feiyan and Yueshen both looked at Chu Nangong, waiting for his decision.

Chu Nan Gong's expression was solemn. Yesterday, he had already sent someone back to the Yin Yang School with the latest situation in Xinzheng, so that Donghuang Taiyi could decide what to do next.

But the situation changed too quickly, leaving him no time to wait for Donghuang Taiyi's reply.

Given the current situation, they either have to abandon all missions and leave Xinzheng before Six-Fingered Black Knight has fully recovered.

Either take action against Xu Qing, which would not only stop Six-Fingered Black Knight from recovering from his injuries, but also allow him to complete his second mission.

"What's the situation with the Heavenly Sect? Do they plan to enter the city?" Chu Nan Gong asked.

"The Heavenly Sect is still outside the city, and so is the Human Sect. Neither of them seems to have any intention of entering the city," said the Moon Goddess.

"It seems the Mohists did indeed hand over Liezi's relics to the Heavenly Sect. In that case..." Chu Nan Gong said, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Feiyan, find an opportunity to subdue Xu Qing. Remember, you must not harm his life, nor reveal your identity."

"Moon Goddess, mobilize your disciples in Xinzheng and have them prepare to leave the city to search for the Mo family's stronghold."
