Chapter 301: Disaster
The imperial capital of Qinuo City, the imperial palace of the imperial study.
The crown prince Qin Feng, the president of the Pharmacists Guild, Tian Daoqian, the master of the alchemy department of Qingshan Academy, Gong Yu, and the head of the Lei family, Lei Chi, all bowed down and stood down.
High on the dragon chair, sat a man in his fifties.
"Tian Qing, how is the situation with the plague?" Qin Hongji, the Emperor of the Qinuo Empire, asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty, the situation is very serious. In just over a day, it was discovered that tens of thousands of people had the plague of ghost sores. Everyone who becomes ill and who is infected during the incubation period and who does not see symptoms is a potential source of the epidemic. Each source is highly contagious. The plague has spread to the point where it is now. The source of the epidemic is already difficult to lock and control. Tian Daoqian said in a deep voice.
"You mean to say that the plague is out of control?" The Emperor of the Qinuo Empire said solemnly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tian Daoqian bowed and replied.
"How are these patients cured?" The Emperor of the Kino Empire asked.
"Your Majesty, these patients can only be cured by a sixth-order elixir. With such a high-grade potion, it is impossible to supply it in large quantities. The Apothecary's guild did its best, but only some of the people were cured. The materials in the city have been exhausted. There are still many patients who cannot be treated! Tian Daoqian replied.
"Feng'er, immediately mobilize all the resources in the empire, and be sure to cooperate with the Apothecary Guild to ensure the supply of alchemy materials." The Emperor of the Qino Empire said.
"Yes! Father. Prince Qin Feng replied.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's too late! When all the resources are mobilized, I don't know how big the epidemic will spread! At that time, even if all the materials on the entire Phantom Beast Continent are placed in front of you, I'm afraid it will be a drop in the bucket! There is also the unfortunate news that the cured patients will also be infected with the plague of ghost sores repeatedly! Lei Chi said solemnly.
Lei Chi's words made the scene fall into a frozen atmosphere.
Everyone present knew very well that far water could not quench the thirst of the near! What's more, this little bit of water is still a drop in the bucket.
Even so, there are things that need to be done! It's better to be prepared than to be empty-handed.
"Lei Qing, apart from the potion, what other way can we fight against this terrible plague?" The Emperor of the Qino Empire frowned.
"Your Majesty, after our experiments, the seventh-order light system and water-based single body healing magic, and the eighth-order light-based and water-based group healing magic, can also cure this ghost sores plague!" Lei Chi said.
"Prince Qin Feng takes the order!" The Emperor of the Qino Empire said.
"The retainers take the order!" Prince Qin Feng said.
"Immediately mobilize all the magicians and phantom beasts in the empire who can use light-based water-based magic above the seventh order to join the ranks of disaster relief. You have to do a good job of coordinating it. The Emperor of the Qinuo Empire immediately said.
"Yes!" Prince Qin Feng replied.
After Qin Hongji, the emperor of the Qinuo Empire, finished speaking, he fell into deep thought.
After all, the magic power of a magician, or the source power of a phantom beast master, is limited, how many people can a seventh-order master save in one day?
The amount of mana consumed by the eighth-order group magic is even more unimaginable! Even if an eighth-order powerhouse casts an eighth-order group magic, it will be very difficult.
The plague broke out, and the number of patients will increase exponentially every day!
Even with potions and magic, can the healing of the sick outpace outbreak? Will this really wipe out the plague of ghost sores once and for all?
Not only did the Emperor of the Qinuo Empire think so in his heart, but the hearts of others were also like pressing a big stone.
This plague of sores is terrifying!
The plague spreads too quickly, and the disease is so acute and severe that it cannot be completely eradicated in a short time. This plague will cause an unprecedented disaster on the Phantom Beast Continent!
"Master Gong Yu's alchemy is unparalleled in the world, and I have heard of it for a long time. I don't know what Master Gong Yu has in mind? The Emperor of the Qino Empire said.
"Your Majesty, I don't have a better way at the moment. There are two directions to consider, though. Master Gong Yu said.
"Master Miyayu, please speak!" Emperor Qinuo couldn't wait to say.
"First, it can now be basically concluded that this ghost sores plague is a conspiracy created by the ghost snake organization. The bell still needs to be tied to the bell, and the ghost snake organization is the best breakthrough. Master Gong Yu said.
"Not bad! Not only do I have to find a breakthrough to solve the plague from the Ghost Snake Ancestor, but I also have to make the Ghost Snake Organization pay the price! They dare to defy the condemnation of the world, they deserve death! Emperor Qinuo gritted his teeth and said.
"Yes, the Ghost Snake Organization dares to do such a unconscionable thing, it is simply self-defeating! It's just one thing that I always find strange, why did this ghost snake organization, which has been hidden, suddenly do such a thing? Master Gong Yu said strangely.
Everyone was silent.
Others, like Master Gong Yu, also had this question in their hearts.
Equally puzzling!
"Your Majesty, in addition to searching for the Ghost Snake Organization, we can also try to crack a potion that specializes in treating the Ghost Sores Plague. The materials for refining the sixth-order elixir are scarce, and the materials for refining the fifth-order elixir will be dozens of times more, and the price difference between the two is also dozens of times. If the healing potion can be reduced to the fourth order, the yield will be increased by a thousand times. Master Gong Yu said.
"According to Master Gong Yu's estimate, how long will it take to crack a new potion to treat the ghost sores plague?" Emperor Qinuo asked.
"Your Majesty, it's hard to say. We can only do our best and obey the destiny of heaven! Master Gong Yu said with a slight hesitation.
……
Qinuo City Feng Shouli home.
The wind shook the mountain, the wind kept the courtesy, the wind kept the wisdom, and the wind kept the word, all gathered in the main hall and frowned.
"It's all my fault! If it weren't for me and Shan Qing coming over, Yuyun and Yuling wouldn't have been infected with this strange disease. Feng Shouzhi said reproachfully.
"Fourth brother, don't say that! Yuyun and Yuling's illness has nothing to do with you. Feng Shouxin said.
Feng Shouxin and his wife heard that Feng Shouzhi was back, so they hurried over. Unexpectedly, they just came back yesterday, and Feng Yuyun and Feng Yuling fell ill today.
"You don't have to blame yourself for the fourth, the fifth is right. In the last two days, many people in the city of Chino have contracted this strange disease. You and Shan Qing are not the only sources of infection. The old man said.
The old mountain style is polite and the old five winds are trustworthy, although they don't blame the old four winds for keeping their wisdom. Feng Shouzhi felt very guilty in his heart.
After Feng Shouzhi brought Shan Qing over, Shan Qing's illness was cured. Immediately afterwards, Feng Shouzhi also contracted the same strange disease.
Fortunately, Feng Xiaowu left a lot of high-grade potions for the auction house at home.
Feng Shouzhi showed signs of illness and immediately took a bottle of sixth-order healing elixir.
After Feng Shouzhi's illness was cured, Feng Yuyun and Feng Yuling fell ill after him. Feng Shouzhi and Shan Qing felt that they had infected their two children, and they blamed themselves very much.
"Old Five, how are the two children Yuyun and Yuling?" Feng Zhenshan asked worriedly.
"Second uncle, don't worry! The two of them had just taken the sixth-order potion left over from before the Little Five Trials Tower. It's alive and kicking now! Feng Shouxin said.
"That's good!" Feng Zhenshan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh no! Several of the guards and servants of the head of the house were sick. Feng Yang ran in in a panic and said.
"What did you say?!" Everyone was amazed!
