Clouds and mountain tops

Based on the price of one and a half taels of silver for a pound of wine, Bailiqi still made a lot of money overall.

At the end of the year, it’s safe to make seven million taels of silver!

This earning power is too strong.

That night, Bailiqi's father suddenly started communicating with Bailiqi through the conch mirror, and Bailiqi's father seemed very nervous.

"Xiao Qi, can you spare some time to go home? It's very strange here. Many people in the village have been poisoned and died inexplicably."

"A lot of people have died, and we seem to have been infected as well. It seems the doctors nearby can't cure this poison," said Baili Lishu.

"Okay, Dad, I got it. I'll be there right away." Bailiqi replied.

Bailiqi was very nervous. He didn't expect such a big change to happen at home.

Bailiqi said something to Teacher Zhou and went back home.

When Bailiqi got home and took a look, he was shocked. Many small animals in the valley had died, and they were everywhere.

Bailiqi summoned Dongfang Xiaoshuai.

Dongfang Xiaoshuai used detoxification techniques on Baili Lishu and Bao Zizhen, and they were soon fine.

"Xiao Shuai, what kind of poison is this? Why is it so powerful?" Bailiqi asked.

"Brother, this poison is very rare! It seems to be a mixture of several poisons, but I don't know why these people would create this kind of poison!"

"This kind of poison cannot be cured with just one antidote, because it contains spider venom, snake venom, corpse venom, insect venom, and bee venom. These venoms are mixed together, and it is really difficult to detoxify."

"Dr. Murakami can't detoxify, not because he can't do it at all, but because he doesn't know what the formula of the poison is."

"So, they made mistakes in the proportions of the drugs used in detoxification, and so it's hard to see results," Dongfang Xiaoshuai replied.

"What should we do? The environment here is so bad, it seems difficult to stay here." Bailiqi said.

"I can crack this poison, but if the other party releases a new poison, others still won't be able to crack it."

"So, I still suggest that you take your parents away temporarily. You might as well place them in Pie first and then decide on them later."

"As for the poison here, let's investigate it first, find out the cause and then solve it." Dongfang Xiaoshuai suggested.

Bailiqi then brought his parents back to live in Perry.

Anyway, there were plenty of rooms in his villa, and he couldn't live in so many houses. He just needed to inform Perry.

When the elders in Perry learned the news, they quickly agreed.

But Bailiqi was asked to find out the reason as soon as possible.

Because this poison might be transmitted to the party, the correct approach is to find out the cause and eliminate the source of the poison.

Perry also takes this matter very seriously.

A special task force was set up to investigate the matter. Most of the people in this team were from the medicine department, because they were the best at detoxification.

Sure enough, a lot of related news came out afterwards. Many similar incidents had been discovered around the Jiulianshan Sect, and many people had died because of them!

Therefore, the task of investigating the source of the poison has become very urgent.

The investigation team chose Dragon Valley as the first stop of the investigation because this place seemed to be the first place where the poisoning incident was discovered.

Bailiqi and his group arrived at the Dragon Valley.

Many villagers in the villages here have been infected with this poison, and more than half of them have died or been injured, but some people have relatively mild symptoms.

Bailiqi asked these people about their living habits. It turned out that these people had many water tanks at home, and they took water from the river and put it in the water tanks at one time.

It takes a long time for them to fetch water to drink. Sometimes when it rains, they will collect the rain water and pour it into this water tank.

I haven't gone to the river to fetch water to drink for some days.

Others are used to fetching water from the river every day.

This is the difference between those who are still alive and those who have died.

Dongfang Xiaoshuai checked the water tanks and found that the water in these people's homes was indeed not poisonous.

But some of them were still poisoned. There was nothing they could do about it because there were many ways for the poison to spread.

These viruses can be transmitted through the air and in daily conversations.

Dongfang Xiaoshuai used detoxification techniques to help these people get rid of the poison, and also gave them some antidotes to deal with them temporarily.

The group focused on exploring the river.

Because from the villagers' description, there is a very high possibility that the water in the river is contaminated with toxins.

Sure enough, there are quite a lot of toxins in this river water!

This is a problem. People here have to drink water from this river. What can we do?

The key point is that this river is too big, and it is unlikely that Dongfang Xiaoshuai can clear all the toxins here at once!

Fortunately, while this task force was taking action, they also saw some people in the government office who were also conducting investigations, and they were not just one group of people, but several groups of people.

Bailiqi and his men searched upstream against the direction of the river flow.

These people walked about five miles again, and the river water at this time was completely non-toxic.

Finally, we can rule out some places and the scope is narrowing.

Dongfang Xiaoshuai kept sensing and finally found a place halfway up a mountain where the toxin was more concentrated.

So Bailiqi asked the others to hide in a place, and Bailiqi flew over with Dongfang Xiaoshuai.

Baili Qi jumped onto the Twelve-Level Green Lotus Platform of Creation and started to practice the "Tai Chi Mysterious Clothes Technique".

At this time, Bailiqi was almost invisible and in invisible state.

It seems that only Dongfang Xiaoshuai is taking action. After Dongfang Xiaoshuai enters the Earth Realm, he can transform into a human being. He transforms into a child about fifteen years old.

With red lips and white teeth, he looks like a cute little child.

There is a cave halfway up the mountain. The cave is not big, about the size of a bowl.

There is actually a small formation here.

Baili Qi had previously studied some simple formation knowledge with the students of the formation department, so he could still crack some simple formations.

After Baili Qi broke this simple formation, Dongfang Xiaoshuai used the bone-shrinking technique to enter.

After entering, I found that there is a different world here.

This is actually a secret place.

There are a lot of people busy here!

Dongfang Xiaoshuai simply entered Bailiqi's independent space.

It was Bailiqi who explored the cave.

The people in the cave were so busy that they didn't even notice someone coming in.

Bailiqi has been walking slowly.

Everyone here wears something on their mouth, covering their mouth and nose. Some people are operating bottles and jars, and seem to be matching something.

Others seemed to be supervisors, supervising the work of these people. Some of these supervisors were chatting quietly.

"The prescription this time was quite effective. About half of the villagers died."

"This prescription has been improved, and the effect will definitely be better. I heard that the Supreme is going to launch a major operation in the near future."

"What big move?"

"He wants to do things more thoroughly, unlike the incident with the Church of Light decades ago, when there was almost chaos. Fortunately, the Supreme's martial arts were so superb that he was able to deal with the top masters of that sect at the last moment."

"The poison will be even more powerful this time. We can just use the poison to kill the people from those sects. You don't have to spend a lot of effort, Your Majesty."

"If you can use poison, why not use it? Isn't poison the fastest and most effective way? Who can break the poison? Almost no one can break it!"

"Is there no antidote for this poison?"

"There is an antidote, but the Supreme will not give it out easily, let alone make the formula public. We have the antidote, but the amount is very small."

"I heard that the Supreme wanted to annex all the sects by force, so why did he use poison?"

"Poison is quicker. Conquering with force is time-consuming and laborious, and it also consumes a lot of energy. However, poison can conquer almost everything!"

"It will also be easy to control everything. All these sects will be controlled by the Supreme Being."

"But why do I feel a little scared? Will the Supreme even harm us?"

"Why are you so nervous? What is there for you to be nervous about? You have nothing. Will the Supreme harm you? Is it worth his effort?"

"We have already followed the Supreme, so don't think about anything else. We will attack wherever the Supreme points. With these poisons, there is no place we cannot conquer!"

"Wouldn't it be great if the Supreme Master was pleased and gave us the title of Sect Master in the future?"
