The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Xiaoyaozi turned around and looked Li Muxia up and down: "He is quite handsome. Your master has been bragging to me a lot in his letters, saying that he has taken on a precious disciple."

At this point, Li Muxia's nose twitched slightly as she suddenly smelled a medicinal fragrance. Although she didn't know what it was for, she could already identify the medicinal herbs in it.

At the same time, I guessed that this was probably the senior brother's senior uncle's wicked hobby, using poison to tease her.

He immediately held his breath, took a few steps away from Xiaoyaozi, and began to analyze the effects of the poison. He quickly arrived at the answer: "A drug that can make people age."

Xiaoyaozi's eyes lit up when he heard Li Muxia's words: "This little girl is really good. She was able to analyze his poison in such a short time. She is the first person in history to do so."

He was somewhat satisfied with Li Muxia.

He said, "Little girl, you're quite something. This is my newly developed 'Ephemeral Flower.' Although you reacted quickly just now, you still couldn't dodge it. Hehe, you have three days to detoxify. How about it, little girl, do you want to make a bet with your grandmaster uncle?"

Bai Qingshi shook his head helplessly as he looked at his senior brother. Every one of his disciples was teased by his senior brother in the same way, and they would avoid him whenever they saw him. However, his senior brother was always careful, and he only gave them mild poisons that would make them feel unwell for a few days without any major effects. Therefore, Bai Qingshi never stopped him, and he could let his senior brother test his disciples for him.

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia also became interested: "Senior Uncle, how does the betting work?"

Upon hearing Li Muxia's words, Xiaoyaozi was impressed. The young girl was quite courageous; most women would have been terrified to the point of crying upon hearing they would age. "You'd better think it over," he said. "If you can cure this fleeting poison within three days, I will take you as my last disciple and teach you all my poison techniques. If you can't cure it after three days, then you'll have to agree to be this old man's medicine mannequin for three years. What do you say? Are you brave enough?"

Upon hearing his senior brother's words, Bai Qingshi spoke up before Li Muxia could react, saying, "Senior brother, you can't just steal a disciple like that."

Upon hearing Bai Qingshi's words, Xiaoyaozi snorted coldly: "What, are you so sure he can cure my poison?"

Li Muxia frowned slightly. He had already checked his pulse. Although the poison was difficult to cure, it wasn't incurable. Moreover, he could tell that his senior uncle hadn't used a very strong dose. His poisoning wasn't deep at all. If he used silver needles to force out the poison, he could do so in one go. However, his senior uncle would definitely not let him use silver needles to force out the poison.

Li Muxia was actually quite interested in Xiaoyaozi's poison skills. If she could learn them, that would be wonderful. No one would complain about having too many skills.

“Alright, I bet I can undo it within three days. Senior Master, you should prepare to pass on all your poison techniques to me.”

Looking at that confident smiling face, Xiaoyaozi smiled slightly: "You've got guts, so let me see what you're capable of."

As he spoke, he took out the poison he had just given Li Muxia and handed it to her: "Eat it."

Li Muxia sniffed it and, sure enough, it was just a fleeting moment. She knew the old man wasn't being kind; he was just adding insult to injury since she wasn't seriously poisoned.

Without hesitation, she tilted her head back and swallowed the powder.

Bai Qingshi also hoped that his little apprentice could learn more. Li Muxia was learning things too fast. He had nothing left to teach Li Muxia. Moreover, judging from his senior brother's expression, he must really admire Li Muxia. You know, his senior brother didn't have a single apprentice yet.

His willingness to accept Li Muxia as his disciple proves that he has already accepted her, so he no longer needs to worry. Moreover, if Li Muxia becomes the disciple of the senior brother, he will be Li Muxia's first master, and the senior brother will have to be subordinate to him. Just thinking about it makes him very happy.

As soon as Shangguan Jingye entered, he greeted him and then kept his distance. He dared not approach this senior uncle. Every time he saw him, he was reminded of the first time he met his senior uncle, when he had diarrhea for five whole days and couldn't even get out of bed. Thinking of this, he felt his legs go weak.

Xiaoyaozi has been stationed at Wandu Mountain for a month now. He has been observing the movements of the snake cave these past few days. The weather has been getting colder and colder, and the miasma near the snake cave is decreasing every day. In three more days, the miasma near the snake cave will reach its weakest state, and that will be the best time to enter.

Therefore, no one was in a hurry to go to the snake cave. Li Muxia focused on developing the antidote every day. Except for when she would come out to cook for everyone, she would lock herself in the pharmacy to study the antidote.

Xiaoyaozi regretted eating Li Muxia's cooking. What if the little girl held a grudge and wouldn't cook delicious food for him after the poison was cured?

The toxicity of the ephemeral beauty was indeed potent. On the very first day, Li Muxia's hair turned completely white, and her skin quickly lost moisture and became wrinkled.

Even those once bright and shining eyes lost their luster and turned somewhat dim and yellowish.

When Feng Yuhan arrived outside Li Muxia's room, he didn't recognize the busy person inside at all. It was only after Qingyun, who had been protecting Li Muxia from the shadows, explained to him that the frail old woman inside was actually his girlfriend.

Looking at her aged face, Feng Yuhan really wanted to kill that old poisoner with a single blow. However, he restrained himself.

He knew this was Li Muxia's own experience, and he shouldn't interfere too much. Didn't he already know that Li Muxia was definitely not one of those sheltered young ladies? She had her own ideals and ambitions, and he decided to support her the moment he fell in love with her.

Thinking of all this, he would hide in the tree at a distance to watch her, or wait until late at night to come to her room and see her sleeping face up close to ease his longing.

Three days passed quickly, and finally, at noon that day, Li Muxia's antidote was successfully developed.

When she took the antidote and returned to normal, seeing her hair turn from gray to black and her skin regain its smooth and supple appearance, Li Muxia quickly picked up the bronze mirror on the table and carefully examined herself in the mirror. She looked exactly the same as she had three days ago; she had finally succeeded.

When she appeared before Bai Qingshi and Xiaoyaozi, they were all stunned and their mouths dropped open. They couldn't believe that Li Muxia had actually solved the puzzle, which was made by the grandmaster who was known as the Poison King.

Bai Qingshi looked Li Muxia up and down excitedly, and said with surprise, "Muxia, you really cured your grandmaster's poison."

Li Muxia looked at Bai Qingshi and nodded with a smile.

Shangguan Jingye also stepped forward and said, "Junior sister, you are really amazing. You should know that even Master has never been able to cure the poison of our eldest master so quickly."

Bai Qingshi glared at Shangguan Jingye. How could he embarrass his master like that? Even though everyone here is on his side, he should still give his master some face, shouldn't he?
