Su Jin had no choice but to tell Lu Ming to rest and that she could take care of the medicine shop.
The medicine shop started working on solving the problem of medicinal materials a couple of days ago. Medicinal materials were delivered one after another, but they were quickly consumed.
Zhang Qing is severely poisoned, and multiple trials of different medications are needed to determine the correct formula. If Lu Ming were to intervene, it might be faster, but Lu Ming…
Lu Ming couldn't be used, and Zhang Qing couldn't wait any longer.
After much deliberation, Su Jin decided to take the risk and give it a try.
Su Jin took a set of acupuncture tools from the pharmacy and returned to Team One.
She instructed Fu Gang to prepare the medicine, and she would treat Zhang Qing herself.
The herbal medicine was quickly prepared, and Su Jin dismissed everyone and began administering acupuncture to Zhang Qing.
As the silver needles were inserted, Zhang Qing's complexion improved slightly.
However, acupuncture can only partially delay the onset of poisoning and reduce pain; it cannot completely detoxify.
Su Jin took a deep breath, picked up a small knife, and made a small cut on her arm.
Fresh blood immediately gushed out.
Su Jinxia picked up the medicine bowl and dripped the gushing blood into it.
The blood of the Glass Master possesses extremely strong vitality and can detoxify and cure diseases.
Long-term use can even extend lifespan.
In her previous life, Su Jinxia was reduced to a raw material for refining the elixir of immortality because of this, and was subjected to having her flesh cut off and blood drained.
Unexpectedly, one day she would bleed herself.
Su Jin didn't dare to bleed too much, after all, she still had the poison of the forget-me-not in her body, and she wasn't sure if it would affect Zhang Qing, so she could only try it first.
After feeding Zhang Qing the medicine, Su Jinxia stood guard beside him and waited.
Before long, Zhang Qing's complexion improved significantly, and his pulse gradually stabilized.
Su Jin was finally relieved.
The poison of the forget-me-not had been suppressed by the Gu Mother and had not caused any harm to Zhang Qing.
Afterwards, Su Jin handed Zhang Qing over to a group of disciples to take care of, and hurriedly returned to the medicine house to help.
Lu Ming and Su Jin tacitly agreed not to ask each other about their health and focused on treating the patients.
For several days in a row, Su Jin stayed at the pharmacy, only going to the first team once a day. Under the guise of giving Zhang Qing acupuncture, she secretly dripped her blood into Zhang Qing's medicine.
In two days, Zhang Qing's poison was almost completely neutralized, and as long as he took his medicine on time, he would be fine.
Phoenix Pavilion put a lot of effort into finding medicinal herbs, and the herbs were constantly being sent back. With Lu Ming's quick and accurate detoxification prescription, the disciples' conditions gradually came under control.
Most of them did not leave any hidden dangers.
"Miss Su, the master is calling you back for dinner."
A maid from Shen Qianxue's courtyard came to invite Su Jinxia. She had come a few days earlier, but Su Jinxia was too busy to attend.
Having not seen him for several days, Su Jin did miss him, so she put down what she was doing and got up to go with him.
As soon as Su Jinxia entered the courtyard, she heard laughter coming from inside.
Mai Zizi vividly described, "Little Bean is so soft and small, but he's incredibly strong. When he cries, his voice is especially loud. The other day when I was holding him, he grabbed my hair and pulled so hard it hurt. He even peed all over me!"
Shen Qianxue's hearty laughter rang out, "You didn't hit him, did you?"
"How could that be? Why would I argue with a child?"
"It's really not easy for you to understand this principle."
"You...you're so mean! I love children, and I'll have lots and lots of children for you in the future."
"He's starting to act crazy again."
"No, I'm serious."
Su Jin stood in the courtyard, listening to the conversation inside the house, her brows furrowed with anger.
“Miss, Miss Zizi wasn’t here just now?” the maid tried to explain for her mistress.
Su Jin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and turned to leave.
"Miss!" the maid called out, and seeing Su Jin walk away, she hurriedly went back to report.
Seeing that Su Jinxia was not behind the maid, Shen Qianxue assumed that Su Jinxia had not come again. Her eyes dimmed, and she waved her hand to dismiss the maid.
The maid hesitated, her face full of anxiety. She tried to hold back, but couldn't.
"The young lady just arrived, stood in the courtyard for a moment, and then left!"
Shen Qianxue's heart skipped a beat, and she tapped Mai Zizi on the head, "That'll teach you to talk nonsense!"
Mai Zizi's eyes flashed with hostility. "You're still thinking about her?"
Shen Qianxue dismissed the maid and her expression turned stern again. "How many times have I told you? You are my sister. Don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, you can go back to your home."
Mai Zizi pouted, feeling wronged, "I don't want to be your sister."
"It's not up to you whether you want to or not!"
"How many times have you yelled at me since I came back? Is it all because of that woman? You were never like this before."
"So what if she is? Before, when she wasn't around, I could ignore your nonsense. But things are different now. You need to know your limits. Besides, you're all grown up now. You can't always be so willful."
Mai Zizi pouted, her eyes welling up with tears again, and she thought to herself with resentment: It was indeed because of her that she stole all of Qianxue's love.
Shen Qianxue felt a headache coming on. No matter how many times he said it or how stern his tone was, she couldn't get through to Mai Zizi about this matter.
Shen Qianxue couldn't bear to see Mai Zizi in such a pitiful state, so she directly told her to go back, "Go back now."
Out of sight, out of mind.
"I don't!"
Mai Zizi is the person in the entire Phoenix Pavilion who is least afraid of Shen Qianxue.
From childhood to adulthood, the only person Shen Qianxue loved was Mai Zizi. No matter what Mai Zizi did, Shen Qianxue couldn't bear to really be angry with her or punish her.
Shen Qianxue sighed, "Fine, I'll leave. You stay here."
"Why!"
