It was already night, and because of the clouds in the sky, the stars were not visible.
In the courtyard of the Xuanhu Medical Clinic, Wu Er had already used magic to build a canopy over the yard.
With this roof, the yard will be warmer, preventing the patient from being disturbed by the cold wind at night and worsening their condition.
However, the shed had to be dismantled in the morning because getting more sunlight could help prevent the condition from worsening.
So this shed needs to be set up every day.
Inside the clinic, several people were sitting.
They are Wu Er, Kun Wu, Xiao Mingmu, and Yan Zheng.
Zhang Wu, Chen Ping, and Wo Ningyan were not present, as Wu Er had urged them to go to a nearby spirit market to buy elixirs some time ago.
"I hope I didn't frighten Miss Kun just now?"
Wu Er lit a lamp and placed it on the wooden table in the room.
Although the dim light couldn't illuminate the room completely, it was still enough to see some things clearly.
The small room was crammed full of things, making it difficult to find a place to step.
Most of the items were herbs, a few small alchemy furnaces, and a few straw mats piled in the corner.
There was no bed in the entire room, or perhaps something else was placed where the bed should have been.
Kunwu looked around the room.
Xiao Mingmu, standing to one side, sized up Kun Wu.
Yan Zheng was tidying up his things, since there was too much clutter and if he didn't tidy up, there really wouldn't be enough room for people to stand in.
"I regret inviting you here. I didn't even notice how messy the house is."
Wu Er gave Kun Wu an awkward smile.
Kun Wu didn't care much about these things, and said instead, "You've had a tough time, but saving people is indeed not an easy thing."
Wu Er didn't respond to that question, nor did Xiao Mingmu; it was Yan Zheng who spoke first.
"It's really not easy. People die every day, either from illness or suicide."
Yan Zheng, who was packing his things, didn't think much of it and just said it casually in a nonchalant tone.
Upon hearing this, Wu Er sighed again and said, "We can't save them. None of us brothers are proficient in alchemy. Although our cultivation levels are not low, we can't even save ordinary people."
As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise, and the same principle applies to cultivating immortality. It's not that having high cultivation levels makes one omnipotent.
Xiao Mingmu noticed that his senior brother was sighing again, his expression changed, and then he turned his head to stare at Yan Zheng, who had just spoken.
Yan Zheng, who was packing his things, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He turned around and met Xiao Mingmu's eyes.
This eye contact sent a shiver down Yan Zheng's spine.
Then Yan Zheng glanced at Wu Er's expression, and after thinking about what he had just casually said, he realized something.
It seems my words made my senior brother sigh...
Thinking of this, Yan Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Second Senior Brother really cares too much about Senior Brother.
Wu Er quietly opened the window and then turned his head to look outside.
Looking at the group of patients lying on the ground, and hearing the occasional groans of pain, my heart sank.
"Do you think this is a natural disaster or a man-made one?"
Wu Er asked this question in a low voice.
Kunwu replied, "It is both a natural disaster and a man-made calamity. After all, Heaven is inherently unjust, and man is inherently greedy and wicked."
"That's true, if either one were missing, it wouldn't have turned out this way."
Wu Er stopped looking at the people outside the window, turned his head away, and closed the window behind him.
Kun Wu stopped wasting time and said directly to Wu Er, "I'm going to find the cultivator who stole the things tomorrow. Would you like to come with me?"
These words made Wu Er's eyes light up, and he immediately agreed, "Of course!"
Xiao Mingmu was not very happy.
Going to find other cultivators will most likely lead to conflict, some of which will result in fighting, and some of which will result in one side being killed or injured.
Xiao Mingmu knew that his senior brother was too soft-hearted; he wouldn't kill anyone unless the other party really pushed him to the edge.
This leaves many hidden dangers...
Because in this world, good people are always more easily bullied.
However, Xiao Mingmu did not speak up to stop it.
Because Wu Er is very stubborn, especially when it comes to saving people, you can't stop him if you try to force him.
When the time comes, I can only go and observe the situation, and remind my senior brother to be more cautious.
Afterwards, some people packed up their things and others rested, and the night passed just like that.
The next morning, Wu Er took down the shed he had set up the night before, then used his private magic to relieve the pain of the patients in the courtyard before going out with Kun Wu to look for the evil monk.
Kunwu led the way, as if she knew where the cultivator was hiding, and headed straight for a mountain outside the city.
As they reached the foot of the mountain, Wu Er asked, "Is that person hiding here?"
Kunwu replied, "It should be here."
"How did you know? Don't get it wrong."
Seeing how easily the search had been completed, Wu Er became somewhat uneasy.
Kun Wu glanced at Wu Er, perhaps to reassure him, and then said, "I can sense a person's good or evil intentions. The evil intentions in this mountain are very strong, so I think that person is here."
Can you sense good and evil thoughts?
To be honest, it sounds a bit mystical, and Wu Er also finds it strange. After all, good and evil thoughts are not real things; they are neither visible nor tangible.
But then I thought about it, this is the world of cultivation. If people can cultivate immortality, what doesn't exist?
Thinking about it this way, this kind of fantastical thing makes perfect sense.
"Do you think the person who poisoned the city is the same person as the person on this mountain?"
