Some plants are non-toxic when eaten alone, but become highly poisonous when mixed together, just like the principle of food pairings. Persimmons are delicious fruits, and crabs are even more delicious, but if the two are eaten together, it will cause food poisoning, ranging from diarrhea in mild cases to vomiting and coma in severe cases.

Zhu Zi didn't keep them in suspense, picking out a long, narrow, serrated leaf from among the leaves. "The locals call this fruit 'intestine-twisting fruit.' Eating it alone is fine, but if you eat it with this leaf, your intestines will hurt more than if they were twisted, and it can be fatal. Sometimes, cattle and sheep accidentally eat this fruit and leaf, and if they aren't treated in time, they will die from the excruciating pain." (Fictional)

Even though An'an is safe now, Ye Qingqing is still terrified. If Lu Mo had been a few minutes slower, An'an's life would have been in real danger. Although Jingjing can communicate with plants, she doesn't know their medicinal properties, which is why she made such a big mistake.

Let Little Pig teach her younger siblings to identify herbs in the future, while she teaches pharmacology. She doesn't aspire to become a great doctor, just to understand some of it.

Because An'an had not fully recovered, they stayed on the mountaintop for a few days. During this time, people returned one after another. They were all dressed quite fashionably, and were all young, around thirty years old. They were all handsome and well-mannered, which was somewhat out of place on the desolate mountaintop.

"They are orphans adopted by my master, and they manage all the sect's businesses," Little Pig explained.

Ye Qingqing was quite surprised. She hadn't expected Zhu Zi to have done so much quietly over the years. She was even more curious about what kind of business the Poison Sect could have. Little Pig whispered, "It's mainly beauty and skincare products. Mom, you're selling high-end products, while my master is selling mid-to-high-end products. They've even hired celebrities to endorse them, and their business is doing very well."

"What brand is your master's?" Ye Qingqing asked, even more curious.

"Poisonous Orchid".

Ye Qingqing immediately recognized the brand. It was indeed quite famous and sold very well. She hadn't used it herself, but Ruan Yingzi and Meng Shanshan had. Lin Baiwei from the neighborhood had also recommended it to her. She hadn't used it, but Zhou Yueyun had and said it was pretty good.

I never expected that Poison Orchid was actually a product of Zhu Zi. That deadbeat has done quite a lot over the years, no wonder he spends money so lavishly.

"They're back for the New Year?" Ye Qingqing looked at the group of young people chatting and laughing in the sunlight. Their youthful energy added a lot of life to the desolate mountaintop.

"Yes, they were raised by the ugly old woman and the mute old man on the mountain. They come back to visit them whenever they have time."

The ugly old woman and the mute old man that Little Pig mentioned were a couple who had been stationed on the mountaintop for many years. They had no children and were also one of the elders of the Poison Sect. Even Yin Yu in the past respected them. However, the ugly old woman and the mute old man never meddled in other people's business or interfered in the internal affairs of the sect. They just grew vegetables, raised chickens and mixed poisons every day, and lived a very leisurely life.

After Zhu Zi became the sect leader, he proposed to adopt orphans. The other elders all objected, feeling that it was a waste of time. Only the Ugly Granny and the Mute Old Man agreed and asked Zhu Zi to bring the children up so that they could adopt them. It was only then that Zhu Zi learned that the couple had been adopting children for a long time.

Because few people live on the mountaintop, the elderly couple would bring abandoned children from the villages at the foot of the mountain up the mountain, raise them with rice porridge, and send them down the mountain to study when they reached school age. They would then come back up the mountain during holidays. The elderly couple quietly adopted more than a dozen children, and now these children are all highly regarded. After Zhu Zi learned about this, she intended to cultivate them. After graduating from university, they joined the company and are now all elites of the company, and they are extremely loyal to the company.
