Above the source of Tao

At night, Zhenbei General’s Mansion.

In the side hall, there were four people sitting in the hall, and one of them was standing on one side, with his hands hanging naturally in front of his abdomen, standing respectfully by the side. When he saw that the tea in the cups had been finished, he refilled the tea for the three people sitting in the hall.

Chu Hanlan rubbed her face and asked excitedly, "Sister Xiaoxiao, can you really cure my father?"

They both nodded in response to her.

With the Poison-Eating Pill, a mere Bright Poison Powder is naturally no problem, and it may even be a bit of a waste. This second-level pill was originally used to treat cultivators' poison.

The so-called elixir poison, the spiritual herbs in the elixir also have some toxicity to a greater or lesser extent, all elixirs will leave some elixir poison, this is what is meant by "all medicines are three-part poison".

Only a powerful alchemist would be able to remove the three parts of toxicity in the spiritual herb during the alchemy process. Yun Changan currently does not have the ability to find the three parts of toxicity in the spiritual herb during the alchemy process, so it is impossible to remove it.

The ancient books on elixirs that have survived to this day have never recorded how to remove the toxicity in the elixirs.

It was Hua Shichen who told him these things, and he knew that the spiritual herbs were poisonous. As for how to remove them, she didn't know, and she only had a superficial understanding of alchemy.

Some monks who are overly dependent on elixirs will take a lot of them. The poison in the elixirs will slowly accumulate in their bodies and will continue to erode their Yuanfu until it completely occupies their Yuanfu.

For cultivators who are possessed by the elixir poison, their cultivation will become slower and slower, and the elixir poison cannot be forced out of the body easily. Once the poison is forced out with vital energy, it will only backfire and cause a backlash.

The detoxifying pill became the first choice. Many monks who were affected by the poison would spend a large amount of money to ask the alchemist to refine a detoxifying pill.

Chu Jiangruan was only poisoned by an ordinary poison that had corroded five of his internal organs, so it would be easy to cure it with a second-level elixir.

Chu Xiaoxiao took a sip of the tea on the table and answered firmly, "Yes, with this pill, you will be cured in less than half a day."

"Then let's go to the palace quickly."

"Tomorrow morning."

Yun Chang'an's voice sounded a little weak. His body had not fully recovered yet, so he needed to rest for a while, he said to Chu Hanlan.

This time of alchemy was too exhausting for him. Although the second-level elixir was not that difficult to refine, because the alchemy furnace was broken, he had to draw out his energy to control the crack. He was unable to do so and it consumed too much energy, especially his mind.

I still haven't recovered until now, and my heart feels like it's being stabbed by thousands of needles.

So he left here and went back to the house to rest.

The three people in the side hall were also discussing going to the palace tomorrow, and Chu Hanlan wanted to notify the king in advance.

The next morning, before dawn, Yun Chang'an woke up from his cultivation. There was a little more Yuan Liquid in his Yuan Palace, and his mind was refreshed.

At this time, Chu Xiaoxiao and Chu Hanlan were already waiting in the side hall.

"Let's go."

After a sound, the two of them disguised themselves and followed Chu Hanlan on the road to the palace. At this time, there were almost no people on the streets of the city.

Although it was still early, the current situation had never happened before. Ever since that incident, Chuwang City had become very deserted.

Nowadays, everyone is worried about being infected with the "disease."

But ever since the person with red eyes appeared in Xidoufang, a small number of sick people have appeared in other towns and cities. The reason was all due to the elixir.

Although Yun Chang'an and Chu Xiaoxiao knew about the situation in the city, it was not easy for them to say it out loud. If everyone in the city knew about it, it would probably cause panic and lead to chaos in the Chu Dynasty.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, do you know what happened to the people in this city? I heard that there is an infectious disease in the city. It has not yet occurred on a large scale, but has only appeared in Xidoufang."

Now Xidoufang has been blocked by government officials. No one is allowed to go in but not out, so no one knows what the situation is inside Xidoufang now.

Yun Chang'an and the other man looked at each other and did not tell the truth to Chu Hanlan. They just told her that they didn't know what had happened. But they knew very well in their hearts that those who had eaten the elixir in Xidoufang would develop this "disease". It would not be long before all the people outside Xidoufang who had eaten the elixir would be infected.

But they have not yet found the person behind this. They entered the palace today to, firstly, remove the poison from the king's body, and secondly, and more importantly, to find out who instigated the evil ghost and others to sell the elixir in the city, and whether it is the same person who poisoned the king.

Yun Chang'an and Chu Xiaoxiao guessed that it was most likely the same person, so they had to enter the palace to inquire for more details in order to find out the person behind it.

The person who was able to poison the king and not be discovered for such a long time must be the one the king trusts the most. Apart from the important officials in the court who were met a few days ago, there are also the king’s concubines, and finally the only ones left are the princes in the palace.

An hour later, a group of three people entered the palace from a gate on the east side of the palace. This is the closest gate to Jing Palace and also the most majestic palace gate.

I saw that the gate was 19 feet high and dark red in color. There was a lifelike dragon engraved on the two doors. There was a small door on one side that could accommodate one person.

There was a man guarding outside the small door. He was wearing brown palace clothes, was about fifty years old, and had messy gray hair. He was half bent over, waiting for their arrival.

At this time, a bright color could be seen in the sky. As he approached, the man bowed respectfully and said in a sharp voice, "Your Highness, I have been waiting for you for a long time. These are the people you brought to treat the king."

Chu Hanlan also said to the man with a kind face, "Wei Zhongjian, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

As he said this, he stuffed some silver coins into his sleeves.

"Your Highness, you are embarrassing me. How can I accept your money?"

"Wei Zhongjian, you have been waiting for us here so early. It's really hard work. Just accept it. I won't tell my father."

"This is really not good." Wei Zhongjian was also itching to do it. Although the silver was only more than thirty taels, it was also his three months' salary.

His godsons also give him a lot of gifts every month. Even a small fly is meat. However, due to his face and the king's majesty, if the king knew that he had embezzled money, he would probably lose his life.

"It's nothing bad, just a little token of my appreciation. You are a member of my father's family, and seeing your clothes are so worn out, it really undermines the king's prestige, so consider this money as the clothes I bought for you."

After repeated refusals, Chu Hanlan finally brought up his father, and Wei Zhongjian accepted the small change. He then respectfully led the way for the three of them.
