Women disguised as men went to the battlefield and the emperor bowed down in submission.

Ling Ye's eyes shone brightly. He knelt directly in front of the old beggar and asked, "Old man, my friend has been poisoned and is about to die. Please tell me who can cure him?"

The old beggar laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'll take you there now."

After saying that, the old beggar who had been lying on the ground pretending to be lame stood up.

Ling Ye didn't care whether the old beggar was faking his lameness or lying; all he wanted to know was how to cure the poison.

The old beggar led Ling Ye out of the city, and on a hillside outside the city, there was a farmhouse.

Ling Ye entered the house and saw an old woman.

Her face, like an ancient tree weathered by wind and rain, was crisscrossed with wrinkles.

Her eyes were deep and bright, as if they could see into people's hearts, and although the corners of her eyes drooped, they revealed a kind of shrewdness.

Ling Ye didn't mince words and directly stated his purpose.

The old woman said in a frail voice, "The method of making Lingluo is extremely mysterious, and it is said that only a very few people know it."

Its raw materials come from the most poisonous plants and animals around the world, and it takes careful refining and preparation to make this extremely toxic poison.

Therefore, they are extremely rare in the world and very expensive.

However, the poison of the Fallen Is not incurable. It is said that only a magical water called the "Fountain of Life" can cure the Fallen Is poison.

This type of water is also extremely rare, and is only recorded in some ancient legends.

Therefore, for those unfortunate enough to be poisoned, finding the fountain of life may be their only hope.

Lingye asked, "Where can we find the Fountain of Life?"

The old woman said, "It's far away, yet right before our eyes."

Ling Ye asked excitedly, "Grandma, where is she? Please tell me!"

A blush appeared on the old woman's wrinkled face.

The old woman said, "I can tell you, but I have a condition."

Ling Ye said, "Grandma, I'll agree to whatever you say."

The old woman said, "This is my granddaughter, Le Yao. She is skilled in both medicine and poison and is 14 years old. I want you to take her out to see the world. It would be even better if her medical and poison skills could be put to good use."

After saying that, the old woman pushed a little girl with her hair in two buns in front of Ling Ye.

Ling Ye said, "Grandma, I promise you. After she comes of age, I will find her a good family to marry into in a grand manner, as a way of repaying your kindness."

The old woman said, "No need, everything is up to Le Yao's wishes."

Le Yao said, "Mother-in-law, I don't want to leave."

The old woman said, "Let's go, let's go out and see the world."

Le Yao said, "Alright then, Mother-in-law, I will come back if I have the chance."

The old woman said, "There's no need to come back. My time is up, and I don't want anyone to mourn me after I die, disturbing my peace!"

After she finished speaking, she asked Ling Ye to come closer and whispered in his ear about the method of detoxification and what the Fountain of Life was.

Ling Ye's expression changed rapidly, quite a sight. After hearing this, he swallowed hard and clasped his hands in thanks to Old Ou.

He took out all his valuables and gave them to the old woman.

Old Ou said, "No need. You can't take these things with you when you're born or when you die. The only thing that's truly pleasant is to be accompanied by these green mountains and clear waters."

After saying that, she dismissed Ling Ye and Le Yao.

Ling Ye returned to the military camp at 9 PM. He summoned Xiu Yi, Baili Heng, Ouyang Xuri, and Yun Mo to his tent and told them the method of detoxification.

After hearing this, Yunmo turned and left, watched by the other four men.

The cooks stayed up all night, continuously simmering bowl after bowl of black-boned chicken and sea cucumber soup, he shou wu and old duck soup, eucommia and pigeon soup, and dodder and dog meat soup.

At dawn, the four of them finally accumulated enough Fountain of Life.

Le Yao gave it to Lin Ruoshui, and two hours later, the blackness on Lin Ruoshui's right arm disappeared, and the poison was neutralized.

The four men waiting for news in the adjacent tent fainted upon hearing the good news that the poison had been neutralized.

Le Yao smiled and said to Yun Mo, "This is a life-or-death rescue! These four men are truly devoted."

The ethereal Yunmo happened to pass by and overheard this. He thought to himself, "Do you think I don't want to do my part? I just don't know how. It seems there's no one else I can ask about this."

After sleeping for two days, Lin Ruoshui finally woke up.

She felt very relaxed, as if she had just had a good night's sleep.

Xiu Yi's face was a little pale. He lay down and hugged Lin Ruoshui's slender waist, asking, "Are you awake?"

Lin Ruoshui asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Xiu Yi said calmly, "You were poisoned, but the poison has been cured now, and the person who poisoned you has been dealt with."

Lin Ruoshui asked in surprise, "Who scared the poison?"

Xiu Yi said, "Someone bribed Li Er, the cook, and he was the one who poisoned you. The mastermind has not yet been found, but he should be in cahoots with the people who tried to assassinate you a few days ago."

Lin Ruoshui asked in confusion, "What kind of trouble have I offended?"

Xiu Yi said, "They will find out. You will need to be very careful about your diet and daily life from now on."

Lin Ruoshui nodded and asked, "What kind of poison did I get? How was it cured?"

Xiu Yi said, "You were poisoned by the Fallen Poison, which originally had no cure. Later, Ling Ye found a way to cure it, and he also brought back a little girl who knew how to cure it. I let her stay with Physician Li so that she can be looked after in the army."

Lin Ruoshui said, "Then I should go and thank her properly."

A large bead of sweat dripped down the back of Xiu Yi's head. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and changed the subject about how to detoxify.

At noon, when it was time to eat, Le Yao came in.

Lin Ruoshui asked, "Are you Le Yao?"

Le Yao said, "Greetings, Commander. I am Le Yao."

Lin Ruoshui said, "I didn't expect you to be as optimistic, cheerful and cute as your name suggests. I like you very much."

Le Yao went over and took Lin Ruoshui's hand, saying, "Yes, I like you very much too, sister. Let's be good friends from now on."

Lin Ruoshui smiled and said, "Okay!"

Le Yao asked, "Sister, how are you feeling now?"

Lin Ruoshui said, "I feel completely relaxed now, and there's nothing seriously wrong with me."

Le Yao said, "I didn't expect Yuan Yang to actually work. Sister, you are truly blessed with good fortune."

Lin Ruoshui asked, "What primordial yang?"

Le Yao said, "Didn't they tell you?"

Lin Ruoshui said, "No, please tell me how you detoxified yourself."

Le Yao glanced at the five people around her, then whispered something in Lin Ruoshui's ear.

Lin Ruoshui's face visibly turned from white to red.

Xiuyi said, "You haven't eaten for several days, hurry up and drink some porridge."

With a deathly pale face, Baili Heng said, "I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."

With a pale face, Ouyang Xuri said, "I'll go see what's wrong with him. I'll be going now."

Ling Ye, his face deathly pale, rested his chin on his hands and looked at Yun Mo, saying, "You don't need to leave, do you?"

Yunmo said, "I feel that you will have something to do in the near future..."

Before Yunmo could finish speaking, Lingye had already disappeared from the dining table.

Lin Ruoshui pulled Le Yao to sit down, and her face turned from red to deathly pale.

Xiu Yi fed her porridge with a spoon. She looked down at the white, sticky porridge, immediately rushed out of the tent, and vomited violently.

Xiuyi went out and patted her on the back, saying, "Have some water, don't overthink it."

Lin Ruoshui said, "Next time, there's no need to detoxify me. Just let me die."
