What Eryi said just now, to the Third Prince's ears, meant: If I want to, I can take your life at any time without using poison.
The reason for meeting her at the lakeside pavilion was because of its hidden chamber, where his subordinates could hide. The Third Prince had been poisoned and was near death; this news must not be leaked. Even within the palace, only a handful of people knew of this. The original intention was to capture the powerless female doctor if she refused to surrender.
Unexpectedly, she would find out that there was someone under the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
When the Lakeside Pavilion was originally built, specialized concealed weapon craftsmen were hired to create it. Its complex structure effectively blocks out most auras. Furthermore, the several individuals lurking within were all innate warriors. Their breath-holding skills were among the best among the Third Prince's subordinates, undetectable to even those at the innate realm.
Although this female doctor's steps were unsteady and she seemed to have never practiced martial arts, she was by no means someone to be underestimated.
Eryi opened the detoxification reservoir and pushed it toward the Third Prince, motioning him closer: "Pay attention to inhaling the smoke from the incense burner."
Although the Third Prince didn't normally burn incense and disliked smoke, he obeyed. He'd expected a pungent smell, but the smoke, unlike usual incense, was only slightly cooler. When the smoke completely dissipated, the dizziness he'd felt since the day he was poisoned was gone.
Eryi opened the Third Prince's status panel:
The Third Prince [Acquired Realm]
HP 80% Fatigue 35/100
[Poison][Drug][Toxin Inhibitor]
Sure enough, a poison that even a powerful person like the Third Prince cannot eliminate cannot be a common toxin. It can only temporarily suppress the onset of the poison.
The Third Prince, who had been feeling very tense recently due to this incident, felt a slight sense of relief. As usual, he was about to send someone to give Eryi gold and silver, but he saw that Eryi's face was still solemn.
He recalled a common practice among pharmacists: using medication to numb the senses without changing the toxicity. This was collectively known as the Xizhi Formula.
Although the person receiving this drug will not feel it themselves, their appearance will gradually decline. The effect is good for the first few times, but it will gradually lose its effect in the later stages.
If the person taking the medicine is dying, he or she can die quietly after taking the medicine.
However, if the person takes the medicine only to suppress the discomfort and increases the frequency of use, he will suffer immensely when the medicine gradually loses its effect.
"Mr. Er, how long can this incense recipe extend my life?" If she was using the Xizhi recipe, she would answer that it could not extend my life.
If his life could be extended for more than ten days, combined with the medicine he sought in the Medicine King Valley, he could live for at least another month.
It will take more than a month for anyone who goes to Yaowang Valley to ask for medicine to come back, even if they encounter an accident.
"Because the poison that the prince was poisoned with is not common, this incense cannot completely remove the poison from his body for the time being. Using it once can suppress the poison for the prince for twelve hours, which can be said to extend his life by one day." Eryi opened the control panel of the detoxification storage device.
Available times: 23/50
Because he only has this one detoxification storage device, and he relies on it to improve his proficiency in detoxification, Eryi doesn't want to lend it out for the time being.
"I wonder if His Majesty needs to leave Liuyue City in the near future?"
"This king will not leave within ten days."
"Your Highness, please send a trusted person to my clinic at noon every day to retrieve this item. I will refill this incense burner with medicine every day, and remember to return it the same day after use." Eryi took the storage device back. "If Your Highness leaves Liuyue City in the future, please remember to inform me in advance so that I can prepare the medicine in advance."
"How many times has this incense recipe lost its effect?"
"It's not invalid," Er Yi was still pondering the meaning of the 80% health value on the Third Prince's faceplate. "Are there any other injuries on the Prince's body?"
“No.”
That is the decrease in health points caused by poisoning, probably the physical damage caused by the erosion of the body. It cannot be seen from the outside, so you can try using healing magic.
Eryi took out the healing magic storage device, gestured to the Third Prince, and poured the liquid into the cup.
"I've noticed that the prince has been poisoned for some time. Although he has used medicine to suppress the poison, the poison has already entered his body and is still causing harm. You can try the medicine I prepared."
When the Third Prince was drinking the medicine, Eryi kept staring at the status panel. After drinking a cup of medicine, his health value successfully returned to 99%.
Seeing that the Third Prince was no longer seriously ill, Er Yi put on a businesslike smile and said, "Third Prince, the herbs used in this incense are extremely valuable. This incense burner is exquisitely designed, made of meteorite iron. It was custom-made by a specialized craftsman, and I only have one."
The Third Prince was also amused. Since he officially took power, no one had come to him to ask for payment in person: "Ren Quan, take the gentleman to settle the medical fee."
…
The third prince’s residence, the main hall.
"Ten thousand taels."
Ren Quan had heard before that the new clinic in Liuyue City was notoriously expensive, but he had never heard it was this expensive.
"Don't get me wrong, ten thousand taels is the deposit for this incense burner of mine. Today's consultation fee is two hundred taels. From now on, each time you use the medicine in this incense burner, I will charge fifty taels." Seeing that Ren Quan was silent, Eryi added.
Eryi frowned: "Can't you afford it?"
"Then first, settle today's consultation fee of two hundred taels. For the rest, Brother Ren, go back and report to the Third Prince. If the Third Prince approves, you can come back tomorrow with the banknote to collect it."
With two hundred taels of silver in cash, Eryi led Xu Hengzhi back to the clinic.
The first thing Eryi did when he returned to the clinic was to call up the control panel, open the rental page and look for the defense shield storage device.
She didn't want to experience this feeling of being controlled by others again.
"Zero Zero Eight, why are there no shield storage devices in the mall?"
[Replying to the host, since this skill can only be used by the host and cannot be rented, this item is not available in the rental mall. If the host needs it, they can buy a storage device that is not limited to a specific skill.]
The mall interface jumps under the control of Ling Ling Ba:
Any Skill Saver (C)
Can completely copy skill effects, each accumulator can store up to 5 skills. 10,000 energy points.
Any Skill Saver (B)
Each accumulator can store up to 50 skills. 100,000 energy points.
Any Skill Saver (A)
Each storage device can store up to 300 skills. 600,000 energy points.
“Isn’t this too expensive?”
[This accumulator has no skill restrictions, and its manufacturing structure is different from the ordinary one. Furthermore, this one 100% copies the skill effects, which is different from the ordinary accumulator.]
In the end, Eryi spent 10,000 energy points to buy any skill saver (C).
After clicking to take this item out from the mall, a bracelet-shaped item fell into Eryi's hand. It was much smaller than an ordinary storage device, and there were five colorless crystals on the bracelet.
After trying to release a protective shield on it, the crystal on the edge turned red. This storage device can be used in conjunction with the control panel, in which different crystals, skills, corresponding activated colors and other information can be switched automatically.
Next to the crystal representing the shield in the control panel, a line of words appears: Automatically release the shield skill when attacked. Default √
Without saying anything, Eryi charged up all five skills and put them on his hand, as his life was at stake.
