As a physician of the Liuli Society and having witnessed the death of the previous Liuli Master, it is not surprising that Feng Mian could see Su Jinxia's condition.

"Brother Tiger, I'm fine. You can go out for a bit. I need to talk to Uncle Feng for a couple of minutes," Su Jin said softly.

Su Hu clenched his fist and had no choice but to go out first.

As soon as Su Hu left, Feng Mian raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Su Jin sat up from under the covers, her brows and eyes expressionless, tinged with a hint of melancholy.

She said softly, "I was injured several times, bled a lot, and overused the power of the Gu Mother once to communicate by voice."

Upon hearing this, Feng Mian jumped up from the stool instantly. "Since you obtained the power of the Gu Mother, you should have inherited its legacy. Don't you know that this is all at the cost of your life?"

The power and keen perception gained daily, as well as the power to open the sea of ​​consciousness and track the traces of the Gu, are already greatly consuming the life of the Glass Master, making it difficult for her to live past forty. And what Su Jin just mentioned is even more serious!

Su Jin lowered her eyes and drooped, "I know..."

"Knowing that you could still get yourself into this state, do you know that you are the shortest-lived master of the Liuli Society? When others find out about this, they would all be careful to protect themselves, but what have you done!" Feng Mian was extremely angry. He was also really sorry for Su Jinxia, ​​so his tone was particularly stern.

Su Jinxia slowly exhaled and said softly, "I didn't expect it to happen so quickly either."

Moreover, when Su Jin was in Phoenix Pavilion, she was surrounded by enemies all around her, inside and out, and she had no way to escape.

Feng Mian plopped down again in anger, "So what do you want to do now?"

Su Jinxia pursed her lips. "I know I don't have long to live, so I'm already making arrangements for my affairs after I die. Uncle Feng, please rest assured that even if I die, the Liuli Society and Liuli Village will only get better. However, please keep this a secret for now, so as not to cause panic within the society."

Feng Mian sighed and could only say, "I understand. Just take your medicine; it will help a little."

"Thank you," Su Jin said softly.

After Feng Mian left, Su Hu hurriedly came in and asked, "What exactly happened?"

His expression was very stern.

Su Jin sighed helplessly and abruptly changed the subject, "Go and find out where Zhou Ji is right now?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should be in Jicheng. Are you still thinking of helping Shen Qianxue snatch the black mushroom?" Su Hu had already learned about what happened in the secret room from his disciple.

Su Jin twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, "Mm."

"Look at the state you've become!" Su Hu was furious.

Su Jin looked up, pouted, and said in a coquettish tone, "Will you help me investigate? When you find out, I'll tell you what's wrong with me?"

Su Hu's expression softened immediately.

"real?"

Su Hu could tell from Feng Mian's attitude that this matter was of great importance, so he really wanted to know.

Su Jin nodded.

Su Hu took a deep breath, and seeing the pleading look in Su Jin's eyes, he had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, I'll investigate, but you must take your medicine and get plenty of rest!"

Su Jin nodded quickly.

After Su Hu left, Su Jin lay down. She closed her eyes and tried to open her sea of ​​consciousness. Fortunately, she could still open it, and she immediately noticed that the Gu worm belonging to Nie Qingyi was gone.

Su Jinxia hurriedly got up, called her disciple, and inquired about Nie Qingyi's condition, only to find that Nie Qingyi was already dead.

At that time, the disciples were only concerned with Su Jin's departure. They locked the door to the secret chamber and left. When they went back, Nie Qingyi was already dead.

Su Jin slapped the bedding in annoyance, so that she wouldn't know whether Nie Qingyi died with Zi Gu or died later.

This is important because it allows us to assess the extent of the damage the antidote caused to Nie Qingyi's body.

Su Jin hurriedly got out of bed to check on Nie Qingyi's body.

When a corpse is injured by a dead tree, its organs will be severely damaged; Su Jinxia had seen this in her previous life.

However, Nie Qingyi's body was very intact, and judging from the outside, there was nothing wrong with it.

Su Jinxia asked a disciple who had studied coroner's work to perform an autopsy. The autopsy revealed no signs of damage to the organs, meaning that Su Jinxia's dosage was just right to eliminate the Gu worm without harming the body.

Does this mean that Su Jin's line of thinking is correct?

However, even if it is correct, there is still a long process to develop the final antidote. We need to consider Nie Qingyi's previous physical condition and the extent of her life loss, among other things.

But Su Jin didn't have time...

Su Jin returned to her room, took out her pen and ink, and recorded the details of Nie Qingyi's last drug test. After that, she went to find Feng Mian.

Su Hu quickly brought back news: Jicheng has fallen, and the army of the King of Ji has retreated to Yuchuan. The whereabouts of Zhou Ji still need to be investigated.

"Continue the investigation and find out his exact location," Su Jin ordered.

"I forbid you to go to Zhou Ji." Su Hu's expression was serious. It wasn't a question, but a direct order. But he quickly added, "If you really can't rest easy, I'll go to Zhou Ji. I'll risk my life to bring the black mushroom back. You just stay here and take good care of yourself. You're not allowed to go anywhere else."

Zhou Hu's eyes were almost overflowing with worry. He walked up to Su Jin and looked at her, "What's wrong with you?"

Su Jin pursed her lips, feeling extremely guilty.

She asked Su Hu to sit down, and after a moment of silence, she spoke, "I have some things to tell you, and you must do them for me."

Su Hu's unease grew stronger. "What is it? Why are you talking like that? I'll do anything you want, even if it means dying for you."

Su Jin smiled and said, "I know, that's why I'm only entrusting this matter to you. I've already made progress in making the antidote, and I've left the rest to Feng Mian. However, it's still uncertain when the antidote will be ready and whether it will truly have no effect on the host, so we need to make multiple preparations."

Su Jinxia took out a small jade bottle from her bosom. "This is for you."

Su Hu gently took it, his eyes filled with even more doubt.

Su Jin spoke in a deep voice, her tone carrying an undeniable seriousness, "This is powder from withered wood. I want you to use it to kill me before I die, and also to kill the Gu Mother within me."

"when!"

The medicine bottle slipped from Su Hu's hand and rolled to the ground. His expression and body froze. "Why are you telling me all this now? Even if you want to kill the Gu Mother, you don't need to tell me this so soon!" Su Hu smiled bitterly, as if he found Su Jinxia's current behavior extremely ridiculous. "Are you still thinking of going to find Zhou Ji? You want to risk your life to steal the Black Mushroom? I won't allow it. I said I'd go, and I mean it. I will definitely help you..."

Su Jinxia reached out and gently pressed her hand to Su Hu's lips, and Su Hu successfully choked.
