Chapter 195 Jade-Eyed Snake Poison

Hua Murong was poisoned by the Jade Eye Snake Gu.

The other party mixed poisonous creatures such as snakes, scorpions, and spiders in a container, made them fight each other, absorbed their venom, and then fed them with various poisons to turn them into living Gu.

While fighting with a venomous snake, he accidentally got some of its saliva in his eyes, and the venom seeped into his body through his eyes.

Fortunately, after being poisoned, he used silver needles to seal acupoints to stop the spread of the poison and also bled to release some of the poison, thus saving his life.

However, this also leads to an excessive accumulation of toxins in the eyes. The venom erodes the optic nerve, and bluish-purple patterns resembling snake scales slowly appear around the eyes. People poisoned by this will also feel cold.

Despite being wrapped in a thick quilt, Hua Murong was still shivering from the cold, so he had several basins of charcoal fire brought into the room.

His body didn't shake too badly; a normal person would be sweating profusely in the heat indoors, and everything made sense.

Yun Zhaoxue took Hua Murong's pulse and found that the toxins in his body were spreading. She then cut her finger with a dagger to examine the blood, and it was visible to the naked eye that his blood was darker than normal.

Hua Murong reached under the pillow at the head of the bed, searching for something.

Then I remembered that the things had been put somewhere else.

"Someone, please bring me that oil paper package that's under the table to support the table legs."

Zhuiying took the oil paper package and placed it in his hand, "Divine Doctor, here you go."

"Why give it to me? I can't see right now, give it to the girl."

Yun Zhaoxue took it, opened the oil paper, and inside was a book with the four elegant characters "All Poisons Return to Their Origin" written on the cover.

"This manual contains the method of exorcising Gu poison. I need your help. The Jade Eye Snake Gu is on page seventy-eight. Turn over and read it. After that, I will explain the specific acupoints to you."

Next, he asked someone to bring a stove, and to put in the medicinal herbs he specified, and quickly boil them to be used to fumigate the face during the acupuncture treatment.

Accelerates the evaporation of the venom.

Yun Zhaoxue quickly scanned the manual, then began memorizing the acupuncture points that needed to be treated.

"This will detoxify you?"

Her intuition told her it wasn't that simple.

Hua Murong shook his head, "Of course not. This method can only suppress it temporarily. To fully recover, we need to find the controller of the mother Gu and eat the gall bladder of that poisonous snake."

I need to recover quickly, prepare myself and their partners before they come looking for me a second time, and clean house for my Medicine Valley.

Yun Zhaoxue: "Okay, I'll take a look first."

The book states that acupuncture or bloodletting should be performed at specific acupoints, and combined with self-healing through internal energy cultivation to expel the toxic blood, which can temporarily restore vision.

Yun Zhaoxue doesn't like outsiders to be present when she's treating patients. If it's inconvenient to retrieve instruments or medicines from her spatial storage, she asks them to leave first.

He took off the water pouch from his waist and tossed it to Hua Murong, then took out anti-venom serum from his spatial storage and injected it into him.

Hua Murong knew it was holy water after just one sip and was reluctant to drink more. "This is holy water? Is this whole water bag full? So much? Didn't you say you were done?"

The sip he just took was twice the amount from the small porcelain bottle Yun Zhaoxue had given him earlier.

Yun Zhaoxue was disinfecting the silver needles with alcohol and then heating them over a candle flame.

"It was gone before, but it's back now. Drink it quickly, it's very effective in clearing out toxins."

Hua Murong held the water pouch in her arms as if it were a treasure, reluctant to part with it. "No, no, no, I can't drink it anymore. Such a good thing can't be wasted. I have to keep it."

This time, even without drinking the holy water, the toxins can be temporarily suppressed. The holy water should be saved for a crucial moment.

If we face them again and can't win, and get injured again, this could be a lifesaver.

Yun Zhaoxue said, "You drink it first, I'll bring it to you next time."

"Really? How much do you have left?"

"Keep it a secret."

Hua Murong said, "Then I'll drink it, I really will. Don't come crying to me, though, because once it's in my stomach, I can't throw it up."

"Drink it, or I'll take it back."

"No, no, no, I'll drink it, I'll drink it now." With that, she drank all the spring water.

After drinking it, he felt his internal energy slowly recovering, which made it easier for him to regulate his breathing.

In the next room, Zhu Feng had been struck by a poisonous palm strike. He used his internal energy to force out the poisonous blood, and his lips turned pale. He lay on the bed to rest.

Hongzao brewed medicine for him: "Lord Zhufeng, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for dragging you into this."

At that time, she and Lüzhi were in the carriage, while Zhufeng led the guards in fighting with those bad guys, and they dared not get off.

The horse was bitten by a poisonous insect and, startled, ran wildly forward, throwing the women off the carriage shaft. They clung desperately to the carriage with both hands.

Suddenly a woman appeared, grabbed them by the neck, lifted them up, and threw them down.

Zhu Feng took a poisonous palm strike to save her.

Hongzao carried the medicine bowl to the bedside, scooped up a spoonful, and was about to feed him.

"I... I can do it myself." Zhu Feng quickly propped himself up, took the medicine, and drank it all in one gulp.

She then placed the candied fruit in front of him. "Candied fruit."

When Zhu Feng saw the candied fruit, he was reminded of his childhood. Whenever he was sick and needed to take medicine, his mother would feed him candied fruit.

Since the death of my family, I have never eaten candied fruit when taking medicine.

"Thank you." He picked up a piece of candied fruit and put it in his mouth. He hadn't eaten it for many years, but the candied fruit seemed to taste the same as when he was a child, yet it also seemed different.

Seeing that his room was a bit messy, Hongzao took the initiative to tidy up his room and carried his dirty clothes downstairs to wash them.

Seeing this, Zhu Feng hurriedly got out of bed and tried to snatch the clothes back: "Miss Hongzao, I can wash the clothes myself, you don't need to do this."

Men and women should not touch each other. How could a grown man like him ask a young woman to wash his clothes?

Red Date clung to the clothes, refusing to let go. "Lord Zhufeng, you were injured while saving me. I want to do something for you to make myself feel better."

"Protecting you was a task assigned by the Crown Princess. I was just doing my duty. You don't need to feel guilty, and besides, I'm fine."

Green Branch, who was standing to the side holding a tray, said, "Lord Zhufeng, please let her do something, otherwise she will feel guilty and implicate you again."

Zhu Feng relented, "Alright, consider it repaying a favor by washing my clothes. It's all I should do, there's really no need to feel guilty."

Red Date nodded hurriedly, a glint of light appearing in her grape-like dark eyes, "Mmm."

I must do his laundry and cook for him diligently from now on to repay his life-saving grace.

Xiao Xuance and Zhuiying were outside and did not go in immediately after seeing this scene.

Zhuiying was relieved to see that Zhufeng was alright, but at the same time felt a little sad. In the past, Hongzao Girl and Lvzhi Girl were the closest to him, but now they all revolve around Zhufeng.

At this moment, a man in black landed beside Xiao Xuance. "Your Highness, we've found out."

"explain."

"Those who attacked Lord Zhufeng earlier are in Haozhou, but their whereabouts are uncertain. They were staying at an inn when a poisonous snake came out and bit several people to death. They are currently being pursued by the government."

They had been seen in the woods outside the city, and later went to a restaurant to dine. When the waiter stopped them and demanded money, they strangled him to death.

Wherever they went, people were killed. Government officials chased them throughout the city, but they escaped, and several officials died.

"Send a few skilled martial artists to keep an eye on them, and also send someone to investigate who their master is."

"yes!"

Upon hearing about the atrocities those people had committed, Zhuiying felt an urge to draw his sword and kill them right then and there. "They're indiscriminately killing innocent people. Do they really think no one can stop them?"

When Hongzao and Lüzhi came out of the house and saw Xiao Xuance and Zhuiying, they realized that their princess had arrived, so they quickly went to the kitchen to prepare food.

Their eyes reddened as soon as they saw Yun Zhaoxue. "This servant almost didn't get to see the princess again."

"It's all in the past. Let's not dwell on those hypotheticals. Those who survive a great calamity are bound to have good fortune in the future. Whoever dares to bully my Red Date and Green Branch, when I confront them, I'll make sure they pay with their damn nonsense."

“Princess, they are terrifying. From their hair and clothes to their shoes, they can easily unleash venomous scorpions, snakes, and all sorts of poisonous spiders with a simple shake. They are covered in poison. You don’t need us to take revenge; your safety is the most important thing.”

"Don't worry, I have a way to protect myself."

Yun Zhaoxue felt sorry for the red marks on their necks from being pinched, so she gave each of them a bottle of Ice Skin Jade Dew Cream to apply to their necks.

I just got it from Hua Murong. I originally planned to take it back to my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, but they need it more now. I'll exchange it with Hua Murong using spiritual spring water next time.

Hua Murong was still circulating his internal energy to expel the poison, and left him a meal, which they ate first.
