Chapter 71: Entering the City to Buy Medicine

After a series of negotiations, the two sides reluctantly shook hands and made peace, and the only two doctors in the team took on the important task.

"I can't use my spiritual power to save them directly; it might just inflame the disease," Wei Shengxue explained, trying to explain in a way they could understand. "This plague doesn't look that deadly. I suggest you use medication."

Most people still had their eyes open in confusion, but fortunately, a few leaders understood what she meant.

"You mean, using magic to treat it might cure it, but it might also make it worse?"

The caravan manager looked at me, "I understand." "Because the Plague God is fighting you, not everyone's body can serve as your battlefield. Sometimes it's more advantageous to the Plague God. If he wins, he'll make your condition worse as punishment."

Wei Shengxue: Ah, this...

He looked at Fusu, signaling with his eyes: "Quickly, take care of him. Are you just going to let him talk nonsense out there like this?"

Fusu looked away. Not everyone knew about the establishment of the new Qin State. So he just regarded them as 'mortals without spiritual power in the world of immortal cultivation'.

Fortunately, this was just a minor incident. Wei Shengxue couldn't take direct action, but she could provide support. For example, she provided protective clothing to isolate the disease, a formation to enhance physical strength, and a cleaning talisman to keep the air clean.

There weren't many people in the village. I heard that most of them had already joined a merchant caravan to escort a group of convoys.

"You are still doing legal things to make money?" Princess Yangzi was extremely surprised when she learned about this.

They were all on the same page, and the boss had nothing to hide. "Income from banditry is unstable, especially in recent months. A new road has been built next door, so caravans are taking detours whenever possible. The amount of loot we can get from the village has been drastically reduced, and we've had to rely on labor to supplement our income."

How should I put it? This is outrageous yet has a hint of reasonable reason.

It is true that food is the most important thing in the world. Even bandits have to give up their duties for a bite to eat.

"But if you can do decent work, why would you become a bandit? Not only is it dangerous, but the income isn't stable, and your offspring will be considered illegal residents after they're born."

The eldest boss said: "In the past, there were many caravans, and collecting tolls was enough."

After listening to his story, Princess Yangzi sighed to Wei Shengxue that day, "It turns out that having enough food is the most important thing."

Wei Shengxue just nodded when he heard this and continued to concentrate on drawing the cleaning talisman.

After living together in the village for a long time, most people have been infected. Now there is not even the conditions to isolate them all. We can only pick out some of those with mild symptoms to take care of them. The germs in the air are floating all the time, and the cleaning talismans posted everywhere have to be replaced every once in a while.

Just in case, she had to prepare some spare ones.

When Wei Shengxue stopped writing, the moon was already at its highest point in the sky.

She walked around the village with the cleaning talisman, replaced the talisman with the cinnabar that had begun to fade, and headed towards the pharmacy.

This is an epidemic research center temporarily opened for the two doctors. Not only are there all the medicinal materials in the village and the caravan, but also medical books are piled high. Only a small part of them are already in the village, and some are the private property of Doctor Yao, but most of them are the information that Weishengxue and the system have just dug out.

In order to reduce the misunderstanding caused by the differences in the world, they basically chose books that were recommended by Amway. Apart from prescribing medicine, the two doctors spent all their time immersed in medical books.

The system wasn't idle either, operating at full capacity, diligently searching the database for whatever they requested. It wasn't a sudden change of heart, but simply because the budget was so generous, it completely stunned it.

[It's a pity there's none here. Otherwise, I could just use Yuexi Grass and Huajianlu as medicine, and any cold or flu wouldn't be a problem.]

Wei Shengxue didn't pause for a moment.

She had seen these two medicinal ingredients when she was learning alchemy. Both of them required the nourishment of pure spiritual energy, and they could not be spiritual energy with obvious characteristics. In short, they could not be catalyzed by artificial infusion of spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy here is so scarce that it is difficult to even collect the medicinal materials needed to refine the Qigong Pills, let alone other things.

"Instead of worrying about that spiritual plant that's nowhere to be found, I'd rather spend more time scanning for medicinal herbs around me. The herbs in the village are almost gone."

[Go buy some! The medicinal herbs in this world must be prepared before use. By the time we finish the preparations, everyone here will be wiped out.]

Wei Shengxue talked to it in her mind as she walked forward, and also returned the greetings to those who greeted her.

Now in the village, except for those lying in the house, there are only a few people who are not wrapped in protective clothing.

That is, Weishengxue, Fusu and Wang Li.

Not to mention Wei Shengxue, Fusu was not afraid of the epidemic because he had the jade pendant to protect him, but Wang Li recovered miraculously very quickly.

After Weishengxue personally checked the body, she could not find any problems. In the end, she could only attribute it to the fact that he was in good health and recovered quickly.

[Other possibilities could be the blessing of national destiny.] The system suggested a possibility.

Wang Li was the Marquis of Wucheng, who was personally conferred the title by the Emperor of the Great Qin. Regardless of how much water there was in this or how much of a conciliation it was, he was still an official of the Great Qin who issued imperial edicts and had a title and seal.

However, the big boss of the fake village had been among the patients but was not affected at all, which surprised her.

When Weishengxue walked to the door of the pharmacy, he saw two doctors going out, and only the little medicine boy was left inside.

"The teacher has gone to the meeting hall." The child wrapped in protective clothing had a muffled voice, but with the liveliness unique to his age.

The meeting hall was actually a copycat lobby, the kind you see on TV with big chairs covered with tiger skins, the mountain king sitting on them, and two rows of fierce subordinates on the ground.

However, after treatment began, this place was converted into a temporary accommodation point, mainly for people with more serious conditions, so as to reduce the time spent on walking back and forth when manpower is limited.

They were not so obedient when they were first isolated. It was only after Weishengxue showed off his "magic technique" of summoning thunder out of thin air that they became obedient.

May you be struck by lightning? This is the most intimidating oath these days, and it also shows their fear of thunder and lightning.

Because of this move, Wei Shengxue gained another title in the village:

——The King of Thunder and Lightning.

You can tell right away that he is not a serious person. He is either preparing to rebel or on the way to rebel, or he is trying to convert people to the religion.

When she heard this name for the first time, she was so angry that she almost punched the person who came up with it. In the end, she turned the page after being comforted by Yang Zi, but this name inexplicably spread throughout the village.

When Wei Shengxue came over, the boss was spraying lime water with a few strong men. The amount was so much that they almost soaked the entire village in water.

As soon as she came over, the boss noticed her, sprinkled water on the last corner at hand, and went to meet her with an empty pot.

"The Dharma King is here to see the patient. Do you have a new prescription?"

The corners of Wei Shengxue's mouth twitched. This name really made people speechless every time they heard it.

She nodded and said, "I'm here to find two doctors."

As the two of them walked in together, they heard several patients asking each other questions.

The young villager was curious: "Why do my brothers and uncles splash water every day? In the past, when I splashed water on the wall, my mother would scold me."

The villagers of Dazhai said: "This is magic water, it can cure diseases."

The villager asked again, "The medicine we take tastes so strange, and it changes every day."

Dazhai people: "This is a magical medicine. It absorbs different essences of the sun and moon every day, so the taste must be different."

The villager continued to ask: "Then can I not..."

This time, the villagers didn't wait for him to finish his words. They picked up the bowl and drank it directly. "Here's the elixir. One sip cures the disease, two sips saves life, three sips prolongs life. One sip, another sip... OK, one last sip."

Wei Shengxue's expression was odd: "To persuade me to take the medicine, I'm already so foolish."

Everyone's expressions were even weirder than hers, this was obviously the truth!

The plague had been going on for many days, but no one died in the village. Even those whose condition had worsened and who were bedridden survived!

Not long after we reached a cooperation agreement with them that day, more than half of the weaker people in the village were already lying in bed, sick and confused. The immortal took out a room and a few jars of medicine, and they obviously recovered.

Now he can talk and laugh, and is no different from an ordinary person except that he looks a little weak.

I've never heard that the plague can be cured.

If this isn’t a god, then what is!

"The current prescription is not very effective. It can only control the disease but not cure it. We will research a more effective medicine."

Listen, how arrogant she is! She even despises the miracle medicine that can cure the plague!

The boss pricked up his ears, knowing that the King of France's two lackeys would soon agree with her.

"This prescription is indeed too mild. If you want to cure the disease, you have to change the method." said the No. 1 fake doctor.

"Why don't we go to the pharmacy in the city and buy some medicine? Several prescriptions have to be changed due to lack of medicinal materials." Doctor Yao, the second lackey, made further suggestions.

"Okay, Doctor Yao stays and you come with me. You are more familiar with this area." The Pope made the final decision.

Hearing this, the eldest brother could no longer sit still and immediately stood up and shouted, "I want to go too!"

He dreamed of lightning and thunder last night. It must be the Thunder King teaching him magic. Unfortunately, he was woken up before he could comprehend it. He had to follow the King around to improve his favor and let him come into his dream to teach him again.

When Fusu learned about this, he also wanted to follow, but he was worried that there was no one to take charge in the stronghold. If something happened, there would be no one to take charge. In the end, he chose Wang Li to follow and protect him, and temporarily took over the responsibility of managing the stronghold from the boss.

The nearest town was dozens of miles away, but with the help of the team's good horses, it only took the group two hours to reach the city gate.

Several people were leading their horses and waiting to enter the city, but they heard a familiar cough in the long queue.

One after another, continuously.
