They were clearly very worried.
"It's definitely poisoning." She looked at Sect Leader Luo and asked, "Has Uncle been in contact with anyone recently?"
Thinking about what mercury is called in this world, she said, "Spiritual liquid and flowing pearl."
Luo Mingwei nodded: "I've been in contact with it. Could it be poisonous?"
In the past two years, he has spent his free time studying his mother's notes, hoping to make medicine.
Madam Luo is a master alchemist; all the poisons and antidotes of the Moon Nether Sect are made by her.
She was the one who developed the poison, which is why He Fengmian could recognize it at a glance.
However, she did not pass on this skill to her two children at all.
Neither the brother nor sister had any talent in this area, which disappointed Old Madam Luo.
Later, he did take on two apprentices, but one of them betrayed him and was killed by Luo Mingwei.
One of them, troubled by love, left the Moon Dark Cult and is now nowhere to be found.
After the old lady left, no one in the church made medicine anymore.
Although the Moon Dark Sect doesn't rely on these poisons and antidotes to establish itself in the martial arts world, having these pills would be more useful.
Another point is that Luo Mingwei didn't want his mother's life's work to go to waste, so he thought of trying his mother's method.
After listening, Shulan said, "Uncle, you should not touch these things anymore."
He Fengmian asked, "So, Uncle was poisoned by the Flowing Pearl?"
"Yes, Uncle now has toxins in his body."
Meanwhile, Minghuo and Mingye were already searching their minds to figure out which one was the traitor who dared to poison the cult leader.
But upon hearing that it was a poisonous bead, they were greatly alarmed and became anxious: "Can this poisonous bead really cause poisoning?"
"Naturally, these droplets not only evaporate when heated, but they also evaporate at room temperature. If inhaled, they will cause poisoning. It's only because my uncle has internal strength that he can resist some of it, but with long-term exposure, the toxins will slowly accumulate in his body."
Mercury is commonly known as quicksilver, but in ancient times it also had a series of other names such as white mercury, maiden mercury, mercury, divine glue, primordial water, lead essence, flowing pearl, primordial pearl, red mercury, spiritual liquid, living treasure, and Ziming.
Mercury has been used since ancient times. The reason why the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum has been unable to be excavated is because it contains mercury.
Mercury, when used properly, is a medicine; when used improperly, it becomes poison.
Ancient alchemists often suffered from mercury poisoning, and some literati who frequently consumed mercury-containing pills also suffered from mercury poisoning, which led them to become dissolute and eccentric. The "Wei-Jin elegance" of the past was actually just the result of literati taking too much of the Five-Stone Powder.
Fortunately, although Uncle Luo suffered from chronic mercury poisoning, it was not serious. She had seen mercury poisoning patients before when she was in the hospital, so she felt something was wrong when she saw him. Now, taking his pulse has further confirmed her previous suspicions.
"So that's how it is. No wonder I've felt restless and irritable ever since I came into contact with those drugs." Luo Mingwei never expected that those things would actually be harmful to the human body.
He Fengmian asked with concern, "Is there an antidote?"
Shulan said, "Uncle is in good health, and since the poison hasn't yet entered his internal organs, we can use medicine and acupuncture to remove the poison from his body."
Upon hearing that the poison could be removed, Luo Mingwei was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "It's just that my life wasn't meant to end."
Mingye agreed: "That's right, if the sect leader hadn't missed this time, it would have been difficult to discover."
Even Shulan agreed with this point; if another year or two passed, it might be difficult for Uncle Luo to save him again.
She immediately flattered him: "So Uncle is a blessed man, naturally nothing will happen to him."
Sure enough, the pat landed squarely on the horse's rump, making Luo Mingwei laugh heartily: "My nephew's wife knows how to talk, unlike some people, who can't say anything nice."
He Fengmian: "..."
Shulan couldn't help but chuckle as she watched the love-hate relationship between the uncle and nephew.
He Fengmian glanced at his uncle as he looked at her laughing like a rabbit, then said nothing more.
Luo Mingwei clicked his tongue inwardly, thinking that his eldest nephew was right; his younger nephew was indeed different now that he had a wife.
At this moment, the carriage arrived at the clinic, where there were still several patients, and Huang Qi and his team were taking their pulses.
One of them was a well-dressed, plump lady followed by two maids.
Judging from his attire, he looks like a nouveau riche.
Seeing Shulan approach, he immediately stepped forward, smiling obsequiously, "Dr. Shu, you're finally back! I've been feeling really unwell lately, could you please take a look at me?"
She had originally intended to have her maid invite him to the mansion, but upon learning that Doctor Shu was not at the clinic, and feeling extremely unwell, she had no choice but to come in person.
At this moment, Tian Dong came over: "Junior Uncle, this lady is just weak and has excessive internal heat."
The plump woman clearly didn't believe it: "If I'm just weak and have too much internal heat, why do I feel so unwell?"
Shulan knew this lady; she had visited twice before. She was fine, just infuriated.
Let Tiandong go about his own business.
She also looked at He Fengmian, who said, "You go ahead with your work, I'll take care of my uncle and the others."
"Alright." Then he said to the plump lady, "Madam Zhou, no need to rush, this way please, let me take your pulse."
Mrs. Zhou was immediately delighted and followed her to the examination table.
Luo Mingwei and his family didn't go to the backyard. Instead, they sat on the chairs where patients waited, wanting to see how his nephew's wife treated patients. After all, there weren't many people who could earn their nephew's praise.
Shulan took her pulse and said in a very low voice, "Madam has recently been experiencing a dry and bitter mouth, sore throat, tinnitus, and restlessness."
Upon hearing this, Madam Zhou nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's exactly right."
Shulan continued, "The fact that you suffer from insomnia and excessive dreaming at night, as well as excessive sweating, is probably because you have been troubled by things lately, which has upset you and harmed your health."
