Chapter 74 Yao Lao Self-Immolation

"A drug that makes people lose their minds and turn them into zombies? Isn't that what my evil disciple Gu Feng just developed?"

Yao Lao smiled bitterly, "I drink it every day, how could I not know? There is no such poison in my poison book, he made it himself."

"The drug is too strong. Even I can only stay awake for one or two hours every day."

Yao Lao sighed, "I really hate it. I shouldn't have accepted these two evil disciples!"

"Master Yao, do you know how to cure this poison?"

Qiao Qiqi asked in a low voice.

Yao Lao sighed softly, "This poison was made by Gu Feng using 9981 poisonous herbs. It will take some time to make the antidote."

Crash!

Pei Shaoling saw this and quickly cut off the chains that bound him. "Master Yao, do you have a plan? How long will it take to refine it?"

The released Yao Lao steadied himself and sighed softly, "It will take at least half a year, at most three years. This is because the properties of this poison are too complex, and we need to experiment with various preparations before we can make it."

Qiao Qiqi and Pei Shaoling looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.

So long?

Then can Pei Shaoan hold on for so long?

Yao Lao glanced at the two men's expressions and asked, "What's going on? Did that evil disciple do something evil with this poison?"

Qiao Qiqi helplessly told Yao Lao that all the people in Youzhou City had turned into medicine men.

"This evil creature! How could he do such a heinous thing!"

Yao Lao was so angry that he felt dizzy and he reached out to hold his forehead.

At this moment, a hint of red appeared in his eyes, which was very creepy.

He took a deep breath, shook his head, and his eyes became clear again.

"I don't have much time left to be awake. During this time, I want to do something for the people of Youzhou City."

Yao Lao quickly came to the table and wrote down the names of various herbs on a piece of white paper with pen and ink.

Qiao Qiqi and Pei Shaoling watched him quietly from the side without disturbing him.

Soon, Yao Lao handed Pei Shaoling a piece of paper filled with herbs. "This is the recipe for the poison I took. I've been drinking this poison every day these days and I've memorized it."

He looked at the note in his hand and said, "If we give this formula to Ruan Zhong of Dagan, perhaps he can develop an antidote. I hope you two can pass it on to him!"

Pei Shaoling looked at the paper in Yao Lao's hand, frowned slightly and did not take it.

Seeing this, Qiao Qiqi quickly took it and said, "Okay, we will definitely find this Doctor Ruan and give it to him."

Ruan Zhong?

Is this the old Ruan she met before?

Qiao Qiqi glanced at Pei Shaoling and guessed secretly.

At this moment, Pei Shaoling asked Yao Lao softly, "Once someone takes this poison, how long will it take for them to be saved?"

"Seven days. After seven days, they will become a real walking corpse. No medicine can cure them."

Yao Lao hesitated for a moment before finally speaking out, "Because of my special body, I can still hold on for another month. An ordinary person would be completely destroyed in seven days at most. Even with an antidote, they would become a living dead."

He sighed softly, "My prescription can only prevent that evil beast from committing evil in the future. Now the people of Youzhou City cannot be saved."

"Does Gu Feng have an antidote?"

Qiao Qiqi asked with her only hope.

"No, my evil disciple has just developed this poison and probably hasn't had time to refine the antidote yet."

Yao Lao shook his head and said.

Qiao Qiqi thought about it and nodded slightly.

Yes, she saw with her own eyes the soldiers feeding the poison to the people of Youzhou City.

It must be a poison that was developed and then used.

"By the way, you just said that one of your relatives was also poisoned and turned into a drug man, right?"

Yao Lao hesitated for a few seconds and asked Qiao Qiqi softly.

"Yes, that's why we broke into this underground place where the black-robed man was refining poison, in order to find an antidote for him."

Qiao Qiqi nodded and explained.

“Is that so?”

Old Pei nodded, pondered for a moment, and finally took out a jade bottle from his arms and handed it to Qiao Qiqi.

"Yao Lao, what is this?"

Qiao Qiqi looked at the jade bottle in his hand with slight surprise and asked softly, "Is this the antidote?"

"No, this is the Baicao Jiedu Pill that my master developed back then. Now there's only this last pill left, so I'll give it to you!"

Yao Lao glanced at the jade bottle in his hand with nostalgia, "I have never been able to refine the Hundred Herbs Detoxification Pills that my master left me in my life. It's really useless!"

"Then can this detoxification pill cure this poison?"

Qiao Qiqi saw his expression and did not take the jade bottle from his hand, but asked softly.

"As far as I know, it shouldn't be possible."

Yao Lao shook his head slightly, "This Hundred Herbs Detoxification Pill can only temporarily suppress this poison for a month, it can't eliminate it."

"Then why doesn't Yao Lao take it himself?"

Pei Shaoling glanced at Yao Lao.

"I already took one half a month ago. Unfortunately, with my physical condition, this detoxification pill is useless to me, so I gave it to you."

Yao Lao sighed softly, "I have saved countless lives in my life, but I never expected to take in two evil beasts. One of them even harmed the innocent people of Youzhou City."

"Yao Lao, the air here is not good, why don't we go outside and talk about it?"

Seeing that Yao Lao was heartbroken, Qiao Qiqi quickly changed the subject.

"No thanks. You guys go out! I want to be alone here!"

Yao Lao shook his head and refused, his hands trembling slightly as he held onto the edge of the table, and he forcefully stuffed the bottle of detoxification pills into Qiao Qiqi's hands.

Qiao Qiqi looked at him and wanted to say something, but was pulled out by Pei Shaoling.

"Let's go. Yao Lao has made up his mind to die. There's nothing we can do."

Pei Shaoling had already seen the deathly intent in Yao Lao's eyes when he was about to give him the only antidote pill.

"What did you say? You said Yao Lao wanted to commit suicide?"

Qiao Qiqi was shocked and turned around to go back and check.

"Yes, he blamed himself for Gu Feng turning the entire city's inhabitants into poisoned people. Plus, his body had been almost completely corroded by the poison, so he didn't want to leave with us."

Pei Shaoling had already seen through everything when Qiao Qiqi and Yao Lao were chatting.

At this time, Yao Lao's tragic words came from that room, "In my lifetime, the apricot forest was full of spring and people praised it, but in my old age, my evil disciples committed evil and sinned deeply!"

Then, the whole room was ablaze with fire, and the flames shot out of the room.

It turned out that Yao Lao set the whole room on fire and burned himself!

Qiao Qiqi was shocked. She didn't expect that Yao Lao had such a strong temper.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have told him about what happened in Youzhou City!

Pei Shaoling saw a trace of guilt on Qiao Qiqi's face and gently comforted him, "You can't be blamed for this. He will find out sooner or later. Let's go!"

After saying that, he hugged Qiao Qiqi's waist and rushed out of the passage.

Qiao Qiqi let Pei Shaoling lead her, holding the jade bottle containing the detoxification pills tightly in her hand.
