Chapter Seventy-Three: The Truth About Poisoning
The elder invited by Elder Ke was called Elder Xue, and he was the leading alchemist in the inner courtyard, and the people who begged him to refine the pill could line up at the gate of Qingyun Sect Mountain to the foot of the mountain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, Elder Xue's personality is also well known to everyone, if he doesn't want to, it's useless to invite anyone. Even the Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect had eaten his closed-door soup.
Therefore, even if people know that his elixir is very powerful, few people look for him, and few people know that he is not only an alchemy master, but also a healer with superb medical skills.
Elder Ke and Elder Xue entered the Qingyun Sect in the same term, and they have always been very good friends. This time, Elder Ke was able to invite him out of the mountain, on the one hand, because of his relationship with Elder Ke, and on the other hand, because Elder Ke told him that there seemed to be something different about Wang Qian, and there was a very special feeling.
Soon, Jiang Lu saw Elder Ke coming over with an old man with messy hair, as if he was a beggar.
Elder Xue usually only focused on his own alchemy, rarely paid attention to his own image, and never combed his hair and beard, which made him look like a beggar who had been asking for food for many years.
Probably because he was worried that the smell on his body would affect the efficacy of the pill, although Elder Xue looked dirty, he was actually very clean and did not have any strange smell. It's just that his tousled hair and unkempt beard don't look very reliable.
Elder Xue came to Wang Qian's side, checked Wang Qian's pulse, looked at Wang Qian's forehead, touched it with his hand, and didn't say anything. Then he instructed Jiang Lu in the back, "Boy, show the old man the medicine basket that this girl has just sorted." When Jiang Lu heard this, he immediately carried Wang Qian's medicine basket over.
Elder Xue took the medicine basket, sniffed it with his nose first, and then flipped it around. After a while, Elder Xue took out a green and purple fruit from the basket, which looked smooth but was actually covered with small thorns.
Elder Xue carefully grasped this fruit, his eyes were very serious, and asked, "Who is responsible for collecting and processing the medicinal materials for this competition!"
Elder Xue roared angrily, quieting down the people around him, no one dared to speak, and no one admitted it.
"Stand up!" another roar. At this time, a disciple who had been standing behind Elder Ke raised his hand. "Yes, it's me. The disciple replied in a whisper.
At this time, Shengshi, who was also standing behind Elder Ke, was a little uneasy. That fruit was actually not an ordinary green scorpion fruit, it was a purple scorpion fruit that was about to evolve into a Xuan-level poisonous fruit, and he had bought it outside with a lot of effort. He wanted to use this fruit to harm Jiang Lu. The strength of Jiang Lu's second-grade Xuanshi should have a certain immunity to this fruit, there is no danger, and it can be detoxified in a certain amount of time. Shengshi didn't want to kill Jiang Lu right now, he just wanted to harm Jiang Lu to fight the toxin, and then lose the game because of it.
However, the disciple who carried the medicine basket forgot Shengshi's instructions, and accidentally placed the medicine basket containing this fruit in front of Wang Qian, which led to this incident.
Elder Xue took this fruit and asked the disciple who raised his hand, "Where did this fruit come from?" Seeing Elder Xue staring at him fiercely, he couldn't even speak clearly, and said hesitantly: "No, no, I don't know." "What! I don't know?" Elder Xue snorted angrily, "Tell me where it came from, otherwise the old man will let you swallow this fruit!"
"Yes, it's Senior Brother Shengshi. Elder Xue's roar caused this disciple's inner defense line to completely collapse, and he honestly explained the ascending stone. He was worried that Elder Xue would really let him swallow this poisonous fruit, the poison of the poisonous fruit was seen by everyone, and Wang Qian was just pricked in the hand and became now uncertain about life and death. If he is allowed to swallow this poisonous fruit, it is a big question whether he can survive with the strength of his eighth-rank Xuan Disciple.
Suddenly, Shengshi's face turned blue for a while, he didn't expect that waste junior brother to betray him so quickly, and he also spent a lot of Chilan coins to buy him. This time it's over, if he can't find a good excuse, Elder Ke will definitely punish him heavily, Shengshi thought to himself.
"What! Shengshi! It's actually you!" Jiang Lu heard the disciple say the name of Shengshi, and suddenly a nameless fire burned from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't rush up immediately, looking at the girl lying in his arms, he didn't want to leave her again, silently suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Shengshi, come out and explain what the situation is!" Hearing that this poisonous fruit that almost killed Wang Qian was put in by his own eldest disciple, Elder Ke was furious.
He knew that Shengshi was usually very scheming, and sometimes he would bully other disciples, but this situation was very common in Qingyun Sect, as long as it was not too much, he would not care, but this time he actually did such a thing, Elder Ke really couldn't bear it.
During the first competition, a disciple was abolished, his muscles and veins were all broken, and he could no longer cultivate, and this second competition made this kind of thing happen again! This made the fair Elder Ke's beard tremble, and it was simply a slap in the face.
"Master, uncle, listen to my explanation. Shengshi appeared relatively calm on the surface, but his heart was extremely panicked.
"I supervised the purchase of medicinal materials this time, but these medicinal materials were all low-grade herbs purchased directly from the herb store in bulk, and the disciple didn't know that this yellow-rank medicinal herb would be so toxic. If it is the fault of the disciple, I hope the master will punish it. Shengshi looked flustered and lowered his head, but he didn't want to be like that on his face.
This old thing, you asked me to buy these medicinal materials, did you let me buy what kind of medicinal materials, and when something happened at this time, you remembered to find me, and the benefits never thought of me!
Although he was a big disciple under Elder Ke, he usually didn't take any special care of him. Elder Ke was equally strict with all his disciples, and from time to time he was asked to do some dirty work.
Although Shengshi was usually respectful to Elder Ke, he often scolded Elder Ke in his heart. Thinking of other people's elders taking care of their own big disciples in every way, they will be the first to think of their big disciples about any good things.
Only Elder Ke, except for the usual errands that would take him with him and let him deal with some trivial matters, the rest were exactly the same as ordinary disciples. Even the treatment of the disciples who have just started is similar to him.
This gradually made Shengshi's jealousy more and more vigorous, so seeing Jiang Lu so talented made Shengshi feel threatened.
He was worried that after Jiang Lu entered the inner courtyard, he would be favored by Elder Ke and gradually replace him and take away his position.
In fact, Shengshi's worries were wrong, and even if Elder Ke favored Jiang Lu, he would not treat him specially.
"What, the yellow rank medicinal materials are not toxic? you are also learning more and more back, I told you from the first day you came, all medicinal materials can not be underestimated, the rank of the green scorpion fruit is not the yellow level, which means that its medicinal value is only the yellow level, but its toxicity has approached the Xuan level, even if the Xuan Shi is poisoned, it is also life-threatening!"
