Lord Meng was not worried, and the other ancient doctors had nothing to worry about either.
The Neutralizing Strength Pill was not a poison to begin with. It only sealed one's inner strength temporarily, and did not have much effect on the body.
Ying Zijin was a fourth-level member of the Danmeng, and she was able to refine the Neutralizing Strength Pill.
The First Elder stroked his beard, thinking that when he returned to the Danmeng, he would give Ying Zijin a few more prescriptions similar to the Meridian-Shattering Pill, so that she would have the ability to protect herself in the future.
Ninety-nine percent of the ancient doctors did not have ancient martial arts cultivation, but they could defend themselves with gold and silver needles and pills.
"Hey, is this a draw? How do we compete if it's a draw? "
"It seems to be a test of the toxicity of the two pills, and the one with the highest toxicity wins."
But at this moment, Meng Qingxue's face suddenly turned pale, and her body trembled violently.
Lord Meng's expression changed drastically before he could stop smiling, "Qingxue!"
Meng Qingxue spat out a mouthful of blood.
"…"
Seeing this scene, the audience was shocked speechless.
The First Elder did not expect Meng Qingxue to not even be able to refine the antidote for the Neutralizing Strength Pill. He was still in a daze.
Lord Meng hurried onto the stage. He took the antidote that Ying Zijin had refined from the First Elder's hands and immediately fed it to Meng Qingxue.
But at this time, the poison had already taken effect, and it was too late to feed the antidote.
Meng Qingxue spat out another mouthful of blood, and her face was as white as paper. Her breathing was weak.
Her lips trembled, and she forced herself to swallow the antidote.
The antidote took effect very quickly. After Meng Qingxue swallowed it, her face gradually regained some color, but her fingers were still trembling.
Obviously, with her current strength, she could not withstand the effects of the medicine, and the two mouthfuls of blood had greatly damaged her vitality.
Everything happened too quickly, and the audience could not react in time.
"She's so ruthless at such a young age!" Lord Meng glanced at him coldly. "It's just a competition. Don't overdo it. Is there a need to be so insistent?"
"Or are you really afraid that Qing Xue is better than you, so that you can't have a foothold in the field of ancient medicine and lose face in front of your man? Are you not reconciled?"
"Yes, it's just a competition." Fu Yunshen stepped forward and stood in front of the girl. His gaze was cold, but he was smiling. "If it was the other way around, would you still say such things?"
The Lord Meng choked.
It was the other way around?
Of course, he would say that these were the rules of the competition. Who else could he blame if his skills were inferior?
"As for losing face?" Fu Yunshen turned his head. "Ah, no way. I like my daughter no matter what. I even hope that she's a little weaker so that she can completely rely on me. That's exactly what I want."
With that one sentence, Meng Qing Xue's face, which had just regained some color, became deathly pale once more. Blood once again flowed from the corner of her mouth.
The third time he vomited blood, it was not because of the medicine, but because his emotions were greatly stimulated.
Seeing Meng Qing Xue like this, most people did not dare to stay any longer. They all found an excuse to leave.
What if the Family Meng blamed it on them later?
Lord Meng clenched his fists and sneered again. "First Elder, aren't you going to test the toxicity of these two pills? We already have the prescription for the Meridian-Breaking Pill, but what about the medicine she refined? "
He pointed at Ying Zijin. "I think she's the evil doctor! Otherwise, how could a perfectly good Neutralizing Strength Pill make someone vomit blood? "
The First Elder said coldly, "Lord Meng, be careful with your words. We've already interrogated them that day. Senior Fu Xi also said that Miss Zijin is not the evil doctor. If she was, would she have refined the antidote?"
Lord Meng was speechless.
However, the toxicity of these two pills did need to be tested.
The Fourth Elder took the remaining dregs and went to test them.
Soon, the results came out.
"This pill is indeed a Neutralizing Strength Pill, but its attribute is cold. As for its toxicity, it's not even comparable to the Meridian-Breaking Pill." The Fourth Elder of Danmeng said, "If Miss Qing Xue refined the correct antidote, nothing will happen to her."
In short, Meng Qing Xue's skill was not as good as hers, not Ying Zijin's intention.
Lord Meng's expression changed again.
It was still a Neutralizing Strength Pill?
And it was not poisonous?
How was this possible?
The Fourth Elder said, "Moreover, if Miss Qing Xue's body was healthy, even if she did not take the antidote in time, she would at most be unable to move her limbs. There would be no pain."
An Ling was shocked. "Just by changing the order of the herbs, the medicinal properties will be different, and the antidote will also be different?"
"That's why Miss Zijin is so smart." The Fourth Elder nodded. "She has a deep understanding of pharmacology. She knows that by changing the order, a Neutralizing Strength Pill with a heat attribute can be turned into a cold one."
"When Danmeng taught alchemy, he also taught the members this, but it is really difficult to apply. You must know how to be flexible and not inflexible. The knowledge in books can also be inferred."
The alchemy competition in the Winter Hunt could indeed greatly improve the alchemy ability of ancient doctors.
Because in the process of alchemy, not only did they have to pay attention to their own furnace, but they also had to observe the other party.
Even if they missed a step, it was possible to refine the wrong antidote.
This was not a secret trick, but a suppression of strength.
Meng Qing Xue naturally noticed that Ying Zijin changed the order of the herbs, but she really did not expect that it was because of the change of medicinal properties.
Meng Qing Xue's lips trembled, and the taste of rust in her throat was very strong. She struggled to say, "I'm sorry, I really did not mean to hurt you. The antidote is with the First Elder. You will be fine. I really did not …"
She just wanted to prove that she was better than Ying Zijin in alchemy.
Ying Zijin's eyes were cold, and her expression was indifferent. "But I don't like pain."
She could endure pain, but it did not mean that she liked it.
She did not hurt people, but she would guard against people.
If it was just the Meridian Breaking Pill, there would be no pain at first.
But the Meridian Breaking Pill was different. It would be very painful at first.
And if one did not look carefully, one would not find that Meng Qing Xue was actually refining the Meridian Breaking Pill.
Because the number of grams of herbs needed for the two kinds of pills was not much different.
Meng Qing Xue saw that she changed the order of the herbs, but still did not refine the correct antidote.
Fu Yunshen's fingers holding Ying Zijin tightened little by little. His palms were cold, and his heart was broken.
He did not know how she died before, and why she could still live with her memory.
And obviously, her memory had only recovered when he first saw her. That was why she had the ability to protect herself.
But that year alone, Ying Zijin had been forced to draw her blood during Family Ying. She could not eat or sleep well, and her mind was under great pressure.
It was hard enough.
He had been in pain before, and he knew how uncomfortable it was.
"She's in pain, but I'm in pain." Fu Yunshen's eyes finally fell on her for the first time. "You're in pain, okay."
There was nothing more heart-wrenching than these words.
Meng Qing Xue could not bear it at all. Blood flowed from the corner of her mouth like a broken string of beads.
"Fu Yunshen!" Lord Meng was even more furious. "Can you not speak? You knew that her body would be affected when she saw you. Did you do it on purpose? "
"Yes, on purpose." Fu Yunshen said lightly. He touched the girl's head. "Let's go."
Because he had been through so much, he never said anything harsh to others.
There was nothing wrong with liking someone, and there were many people who liked him.
Those who came to confess, he politely rejected them. This was a respect for the girl.
Meng Qing Xue had caused him a lot of trouble in the ancient medicine world. She had even been forced to the brink of death several times. If he was not careful, she might not be able to survive.
Fu Yunshen did not care. He treated it as an experience.
But when it came to Ying Zijin, things were different.
Meng Qing Xue's face turned pale bit by bit. Even her lips were pale. Her voice trembled. "I really didn't want to hurt her. I just wanted to show you that I'm better than her in some aspects …"
Fu Chen listened from the side and finally understood what was going on.
Over the years, Family Meng had asked Meng Qing Xue to marry many people, but Meng Qing Xue did not marry.
On one hand, her body was indeed not good. On the other hand, she had rejected them all.
So Meng Qing Xue liked his ancestor?
"Why did you compete? So what if you've won the competition? He still doesn't like you. " Fu Chen was puzzled, but his words hit the nail on the head. "To be honest, even if Miss Ying doesn't know how to refine medicine, Brother Fu still likes her."
"Don't tell me you think that Brother Fu can see you just because you won?"
Meng Qing Xue had stayed in Family Meng's boudoir for too long. She did not know what feelings were.
Blood surged in Meng Qing Xue's chest. Blood flowed from her lips again.
Finally, she could not bear it and fainted.
Lord Meng's face was ashen.
The one who said this was Fu Chen.
In terms of status and identity, Fu Chen was a direct descendant of the Fu family, just like Meng Qing Xue.
Especially recently, Fu Xi seemed to have come out of hiding.
Family Meng's ancestor was no longer the first generation of the family. There was no way he could compare to Fu Xi.
Lord Meng could only swallow his anger. He could not even reprimand him.
He did not have time to waste here. He immediately sent Meng Qing Xue back to Family Meng and asked the elders to examine her.
Meng Jing Yu stood in the same place. He did not come back to his senses.
Because he had finally realized a problem from a long time ago.
He had always thought that the Ancient Warriors he had sent to snatch Ying Zijin's medicinal herbs had run into the hunters from Continent O.
But now it seemed that this was not the case.
Those Ancient Warriors were only Martial Disciples. Their Ancient Martial Cultivation was not high. If it was an Ancient Doctor, he could cripple a low-level Ancient Warrior with medicine.
Meng Jing Yu took a deep breath.
He had miscalculated.
He thought that he would not encounter an Ancient Doctor outside. He did not expect Ying Zijin to be so strong.
Unfortunately, it was too late to erase Ying Zijin.
With Danmeng's protection, Family Meng could not touch her.
Meng Jing Yu frowned and returned to Family Meng.
**
At night.
Ying Zijin and Fu Yunshen went to the river to release river lanterns.
After releasing the lanterns, Ying Zijin took Du Du out and poked his belly. "I'm going to go into seclusion until the end of the winter break. Help me look after the pigs."
Fu Yunshen tilted his head. "Hmm? You won't come out until you become an Ancient Martial Arts Master? "
Seclusion was a common thing for Ancient Warriors. Even a year was considered short.
Fui Tsuki went into seclusion at the end of last year and had not come out yet.
Those ancestors would go into seclusion for ten years.
But he was not, because his cultivation was raised through life and death battles.
Ying Zijin threw Du Du to Fu Yunshen. "Maybe not, but it should be no problem for me to reach ninety years."
Her Ancient Martial Arts cultivation was now around seventy-eight years.
But it was difficult to break through the hundred-year cultivation of an Ancient Martial Arts Master. Many people were stuck at ninety-nine years and could not make any progress.
She looked up. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Fu Yunshen put the protesting Du Du into his pocket and raised his eyebrows. "You're in a long-distance relationship again."
"There's still one more day." Ying Zijin leaned on his shoulder. "I'll let you kiss me a little longer."
Fu Yunshen's peach blossom eyes curved. "What should I do, girlfriend? I like you more and more. "
Where could he find such a cute girlfriend?
Ying Zijin pushed his face away and said expressionlessly, "I said, don't flirt with me."
Fu Yunshen quickly agreed and said, "Okay."
After a pause, he said, "It can't be helped. I was born with it."
"…"
**
The next day.
Ying Zijin went to Danmeng to get the herbs she needed for seclusion.
The atmosphere inside was not right.
There was an old woman sitting there. Her hair was white, but her face was only around forty years old.
"Miss Ying." Hall Master Li went forward and said with a frown, "This is one of Family Meng's ancestors. Her name is Mengwan, and she's 120 years old this year."
In ancient medicine, this age was very, very long.
Many ancient medicine doctors died at the age of seventy or eighty, just like ordinary people.
Ying Zijin did not care and handed the prescription to Hall Master Li.
Hall Master Li took it and said, "It should be the same thing as yesterday."
If Family Meng wanted to come and it was one of their ancestors, Danmeng could not stop them.
"Ying Zijin, you're very capable." Mengwan's eyes were sharp and she said lightly, "It's nothing compared to Qing Xue. Why don't you compete with me?"
