Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Jing Nan's eyes lit up again. Yang Jianwu's wound medicine could outperform all other medicines on the market. If they could cooperate, wouldn't they be able to make a fortune? "Miss Yang, would you consider opening a pharmacy?"

Yang Jianwu shook her head. "I don't want to open a pharmacy. My expertise is in treating external injuries, and I've already partnered with someone to sell the medicine."

Jing Nan's face immediately fell. "Who did you partner with? When does the partnership expire?"

"The Medicine King's Palace! Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the cooperation will be long-term," Yang Jianwu replied readily.

Everyone was shocked, "The Medicine King's Palace?!"

Yang Jianwu didn't understand why they were reacting so strongly. Song Yin rode up to Yang Jianwu's side and said, "Miss, the Medicine King Palace sent someone to assassinate Young Master Nan..."

Songyin told Yang Jianwu about their previous assassination attempt. She heard that Qingdai was forced to be alone with Jingnan during that time, which led to her loss of virginity. A surge of anger rose in her heart, and she took out a short flute and played it silently.

Back when the Medicine King Palace acknowledged her as the third leader, Yang Jianwu explicitly forbade everyone from accepting assassination missions. She never expected anyone would dare to take on such a job privately! Fine, they did, but they messed with me. Qingdai was still around then… This score needs to be settled properly; it's not something to be easily resolved!

Yang Jianwu told everyone to rest where they were. He dismounted, took out a pen and paper, and quickly wrote something. Everyone dismounted and waited around him. Not long after, a cry of an eagle rang out from the sky—it was a golden eagle of enormous size!

Hongfeng and Hongyun immediately drew their weapons and led their men to stand guard. Songyin slapped Hongfeng's knife back into its sheath, saying, "Give me a chance to kill a pig, and I will not hesitate to turn my knife on you."

Hongfeng looked completely bewildered. "What do you mean?"

Hong Dian thought for a moment and then said, "Song Yin probably meant to say—you're a pig!"

Hongyun nodded in agreement, "Yes, I'll say you're a pig!"

Hongfeng was displeased and asked Songyin, "Songyin, what do you mean?"

Songyin put on a defiant look, "I told you you're a pig, so what?!"

Hongfeng thought of the corpse-dissolving powder, and seeing that Songyin seemed a little intimidated, he still stubbornly said, "Just say what you want to say, how can you insult people like that?"

Song Yin looked up at the sky. The golden eagle was swooping down rapidly. She pushed Hong Feng away with a sudden force. The golden eagle landed steadily in front of Song Yin and let out two cries of displeasure. Song Yin said calmly, "It's troublesome if we hurt our own people."

When Hongfeng saw the golden eagle land where he had just been standing, he was quite grateful to Songyin; he hadn't expected her to care about his life. But when he heard her say "one of our own," he understood immediately. This was Miss Yang's pet again! He was now completely certain that Songyin had deliberately called the golden eagle down to push him!

Yang Jianwu looked at Songyin and then at Hongfeng. What was going on between these two? They had been bickering several times along the way... Mo Ye explained to her, "Last time when Hongfeng was attacked, he was poisoned, and Songyin gave him an antidote pill to save him. Afterwards, she received one hundred taels of silver from Hongfeng."

Yang Jianwu understood. "Oh, I see."

When Hongfeng heard his master mention the hundred taels, he ran over to complain, “Miss Yang, don’t you think she’s heartless? She dares to ask for a hundred taels for a tiny pill. Although we are the prince’s bodyguards and don’t need that money, it’s still unpleasant to be ripped off.”

Yang Jianwu glanced at Hongfeng and then at Moye. "Your Highness Prince Ning, Hongfeng, Songyin only charged the cost price. Don't underestimate this small pill; it contains a lot of good medicine. I didn't ask for more than one hundred taels."

"Huh?" Hongfeng's mouth dropped open in shock...

Mo Ye was also quite surprised, but Xiao Wu'er's medicine always had miraculous effects. The efficacy of the antidote pill was obvious to all. With Xiao Wu'er's explanation this time, Hong Feng should be able to feel at ease.

Jing Nan leaned closer and asked, "Are your antidote pills usually available at pharmacies?"

Yang Jianwu nodded with a smile, making a "V" shape with her fingers. "Yes, they sell them at the pharmacies below the Medicine King's Palace. One antidote pill costs two hundred taels of silver."

Hongfeng realized he had said something wrong; the truly ruthless person was right there!

Yang Jianwu could tell what Hongfeng was thinking from his expression. "Put away that compassionate look on your face. Doctors need to eat too. The antidote pills are complicated to make, and the ingredients are precious. Only ten pills can be produced a month, and there aren't enough for even our own people. We only sell two a month. I earn money from the rich and powerful. Poor people have no power or influence, and they rarely get poisoned. No one would use expensive poisons to harm them. Even if they do get poisoned occasionally, it's usually due to food incompatibility. Drinking some water or mung bean soup will neutralize it. For more serious cases, there are also inexpensive pills available."

Jing Nan suddenly appeared from the side, "Miss Yang, didn't you say you could produce as many as you wanted? Why are you saying now that you can only produce ten a month?"

Yang Jianwu glanced at Jing Nan with the look of someone looking at an idiot, "There are quite a few pigs in our team."

Jing Nan looked indignant, "You said it yourself..."

"Who asked 'Do you have any extra belts?' before asking 'Do you have any extra medicine?' Young Master Nan, please get the order right. I only answered that I have as many belts as you need, but I didn't say it was an antidote!"

Jing Nan sighed once again, wondering why his IQ seemed to plummet whenever he was around Yang Jianwu!

Yang Jianwu explained the value of the antidote pill very clearly, so Hongfeng naturally wouldn't deliberately cause trouble for Songyin over the matter of one hundred taels. He quietly moved in front of Songyin and said, "Um, Miss Songyin, I'm sorry. I didn't know the antidote pill was so expensive. Please forgive me for offending you before."

Song Yin was very tolerant. "It's okay. If you get poisoned again, even if you're in so much pain you're about to die, I won't give you any more of it, since you think it's too expensive."

Hongfeng laughed it off, "Miss Songyin, you really love to joke. What's the point of leaving so much money if you're going to die?"

Song Yin shook her head seriously, "I don't like to joke. Whether you have money or not is your business, it has nothing to do with me."

……

Songyin and Hongfeng chatted back and forth, making the sparsely populated Kunpeng Avenue quite lively.

"Da Jin, come here!" Yang Jianwu finished writing the letter in her hand, put it into a thin bamboo tube, tied the bamboo tube to the golden eagle's foot, took out a piece of dried meat from her bundle and fed it to the golden eagle. "Da Jin, after you've eaten your fill, go to the Medicine King's Hall and be sure to deliver the letter to the Medicine Master."

After Da Jin Gaba finished chewing the jerky in two bites, it rubbed its head against Yang Jianwu's hand, looking somewhat reluctant and even a little coquettish. In the end, it reluctantly spread its wings and flew into the sky, turning back every few steps and every five miles.

Hongdian leaned closer to Mujin and asked, "Does Miss name her pets so casually?"

Mu Jin didn't quite understand. "How can it be casual? It fits perfectly."
