Gui Ming himself inhaled the poisonous mist. Seeing Hu Da and the other man vomiting blood, he laughed eerily as he vomited blood, "Hahaha... This is a poison carefully crafted by the Five Poison Ancestor. There is no antidote."

"Even if I die, I will make you all pay with your lives." His voice was full of malice.

When Mu Qing and Murong Yu arrived at the valley, they saw a group of men in black, their faces purplish-black, lying on the ground, unable to get up. They also saw Zhang Huaien, his face purplish-black, holding another man in black in his arms.

Mu Qing used his wood energy to check and saw that one person in the distance was dead, while the others, including Zhang Huaien, still had heartbeats. Mu Qing used his energy to neutralize the poison in their bodies. He did not heal the wounds on Ying and Hu Da's bodies, but the residual wood energy from the poison removal was enough to keep them alive.

Mu Qing took out the Bletilla striata and Panax notoginseng from Zhang Huaien's basket, infused them with wood energy to activate their medicinal properties, and then took them to the mountain spring to wash them.

At this moment, the poisoned individuals woke up one after another.

They were all surprised to find themselves still alive.

Zhang Huaien looked down at Ying in his arms, who was also staring intently at him.

Zhang Huaien: "Ying, is your name Ying? Are you alright?"

Ying opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound, so she nodded at Zhang Huaien.

Mu Qing: "Huai En."

Zhang Huaien looked up and saw Mu Qing by the mountain spring. He exclaimed excitedly, "Young Master Mu Qing, what are you doing here? Did you save us?"

Mu Qing: "I came to the mountains to find sweet potatoes, the ones I ate at your house last time."

Mu Qing: "Come and get the medicine, then apply it to the person in your arms."

Then he looked at Hu Da and the other two and said, "You guys should also get some to apply."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huaien quickly got up to fetch the medicine.

Hu Er went over to get the medicine and said, "Thank you, benefactor."

Mu Qing found his voice somewhat familiar. After taking a closer look, she realized that he was the same person who had been reluctant to kill her a few years ago at the Cliff of Broken Souls.

Mu Qing handed the medicine to Hu Er, not mentioning much about the past. Her gaze swept over Hu Da, remembering how she had once thought of beating him up when he called her a shorty. Now, seeing him get beaten up herself, she felt she had finally fulfilled that wish.

"Life is truly unpredictable," Mu Qingxin thought.

Hu Da, who was taking medicine with his head down, had no idea that he had escaped being beaten up.

After applying the medicine, the group took their leave. Ying was somewhat reluctant to part, but the Assassination Pavilion was in disarray, and he couldn't stay by Zhang Huaien's side to avoid causing him trouble. "Perhaps it's time to properly reorganize the Assassination Pavilion," he thought to himself.

Watching the figure disappear into the distance, Zhang Huaien turned back, packed his basket, and led Mu Qing to the spot where he had found the sweet potatoes earlier. It was a hillside. Zhang Huaien pointed to the hillside and said, "This is it. We found them here." Mu Qing looked in the direction he was pointing; there were no more sweet potatoes around.

Mu Qing used his wood energy to probe and discovered a patch of sweet potatoes at the bottom of the cliff. His eyes lit up. Worried that jumping down directly would frighten Zhang Huaien, he turned to him and said, "You go back first. A Yu and I will search around here some more."

Zhang Huaien: "I'll stay and help look for it."

Mu Qing: "No need, you should go back, so that Aunt Zhang won't worry."

Zhang Huaien glanced at the sky; it was already evening. He had been out for so long, and if he didn't go back soon, his mother would really worry. So he didn't delay and said, "Then I'll go back first. If you need any help, feel free to come find me anytime."
