Chapter 382: He is a man of ancestor age!
The old village chief arrived and the noise in the crowd died down.
The old village chief represented the oldest sect among the various sacred mountains of Qingqiu and was absolutely loyal to the high priest. Even the most troublesome orcs didn't dare to speak ill of the high priest in front of him.
But after this commotion, everyone's expressions changed, and no one continued to take the medicine. Even the orcs who had received the medicine packs didn't dare to drink it, feeling apprehensive.
Sang Luo looked at the patient lying on the ground, raised a ball of fire in his hand and threw it at him.
The half-dead orc suddenly jumped up from the ground and flew dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye. He frantically slapped the burning sparks on his clothes with his hands and cursed, "Fuck! You stinky bitch! How dare you lay hands on me!"
Sang Luo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said: "Isn't it said that my medicine is poisonous? But everyone look, isn't he still alive and well?"
She stared straight at the orc, with a hint of amusement in her eyes.
The orc's expression instantly hardened, as if a sore spot had been touched. Meanwhile, the previously quiet crowd around them began to whisper and discuss.
"Yeah, we just saw that he was barely breathing, how come he's alive and kicking again in the blink of an eye?"
"Could it be that he was pretending to be like that just to cause trouble?" A short orc muttered in a low voice.
The male orc retorted loudly, "I'm really not that seriously ill... but! This medicine must be problematic! I vomited continuously after drinking it, and I felt terribly uncomfortable! Fortunately, I didn't drink much, otherwise I would have lost half my life!"
Some people below also questioned Sang Luo.
"No matter what, you can't just casually attack a patient! Could it be that you know there's something wrong with this medicine and want to take this opportunity to silence the witness?"
Just as the situation was becoming increasingly chaotic, a burly man came running over, holding a six or seven-year-old cub in his arms. He fell to his knees and said, "Oh no, old village chief! My child vomited and fainted after drinking the medicine! Please save my child!"
Within just a few minutes, several more vomiting orcs came over, all of whom became more seriously ill after drinking the medicine.
For a moment, the whole scene fell into extreme panic and chaos.
Sang Luo also frowned.
These people's condition doesn't seem fake.
She was nominally sent by Yan, and the medicine she took out was problematic, so she hit him in the face.
The high priest will lose the support of many people...
After hearing the entire story, the old village chief slammed his cane on the ground and said righteously, "You keep saying that the medicine is poisonous, but why did it cure the plague after I took it?"
He even looks stronger than before!
Everyone knew the old village chief's situation. He was half buried in the ground. Now he was standing here in good health, which was the most advantageous rebuttal.
"Now is a time of crisis. Anyone who fabricates rumors and disturbs the people will be expelled from the country!"
These words quieted the originally noisy crowd, but it was obvious that everyone still had doubts in their hearts.
"Everyone, rest assured. The medicine you received from me is absolutely flawless. I've been ordered by the high priest to help the people overcome their difficulties. I will thoroughly investigate the cause of this incident and give everyone a satisfactory answer." After Sang Luo finished speaking, he said to the old village chief, "Could you lend me a few capable people to help me investigate the matter?"
"Your Highness is a messenger sent by the God, and you can choose your men at will!"
"Yes, thank you."
It has become clear now that the Sangluo incident was caused by someone who was sent here specifically to stir up trouble. Yan's return was naturally a blessing for the people of Qingqiu, but it affected the interests of some people.
The orcs who were shouting the loudest were obviously a little panicked and sneaked out of the crowd.
She also released a few strands of mental power and followed quietly.
…
After some investigation, the truth came to light: there was a middleman involved in the sale of fake and genuine medicines.
All the unlucky orcs who bought the fake medicine experienced varying degrees of worsening diarrhea.
After learning the news, Sang Luo quickly issued a statement, saying that all medicines must be purchased from her and not through any third-party channels.
In order to completely put an end to the recurrence of scalpers, Sang Luo and the old village chief also announced measures: if anyone is found to be reselling fake drugs, once the report is verified, the reporter can receive a generous reward of up to one hundred crystal stones!
As soon as the news came out, the middlemen stopped their activities and dared not to profit from it anymore.
At the same time, in order to appease the still worried orcs, Sang Luo also solemnly promised,
"Please rest assured, there's no need to worry about running out of medicine. I've already discussed this carefully with the old village chief and selected a reliable team to procure and search for more medicinal herbs. I firmly believe that with everyone working together, we'll be able to successfully overcome this difficult time!"
In Jingshan alone, there were over a thousand orcs stricken by the plague. The medicine bags she brought weren't enough, and even emptying Yan's herb garden wouldn't necessarily be enough.
Yan assigned this task to her in order to test her.
Maybe after she does this job well, Yan will agree to accept her as his apprentice!
Sang did a great job.
She isolated the sick beastmen and treated them separately according to the severity of their illness. At the same time, she took the people sent by the village chief, all of whom had some knowledge of pharmacology, to purchase the necessary medicinal materials from various places.
In just half a month.
The epidemic in Jingshan was completely under control.
Everyone was grateful and expressed their sincere thanks to Sang Luo. She had been living in the village chief's yard for some time, and many villagers brought her spiritual plants and specialties grown at home. Sang Luo could not refuse her kindness, so the old village chief simply held a sumptuous banquet for the whole village to thank her properly.
The old village chief's name was Xu. Sang Luo was surprised when she found out. She had been in the beast world for so long, and the only single-character names she had ever seen were two.
High Priest Yan, and the old village chief.
During her conversation with the old village chief Xu, she learned that he was indeed from the Red Fox clan, and was the ancestor of the Red Fox clan, who had lived for more than 100,000 years!
The aura of the strongest returned to its original state. She initially thought the old village chief was just an old orc, but she didn't expect him to be a demigod! How disrespectful!
Xu smiled and said, "No need to restrain yourself, my lady. I am an old man and I don't have any great abilities. I am just a state of mind built up by my age. My life span is coming to an end and I don't have many days left."
"Senior, please don't say that. I see that you are in very good health. You are a blessed person and can live for thousands or even tens of thousands of years!"
"Haha! I'll be thanking you, my dear lady, for that. I hope I can achieve a breakthrough before my lifespan runs out." The old village chief said, sighing softly. "If I really can't break through, my only concern will be the Divine Master. I've been by His Majesty's side since I was a child, never expecting that one day I might need His Majesty to help me with my affairs after my death."
"The old village chief knows the high priest?" Sang Luo was even more surprised that Yan was older than the old village chief!
How many years did he live?
These are not elders, these are ancestors!
How dare she have such thoughts!!!
"I used to serve the Lord God. After the Lord God's soul dispersed and passed away a hundred years ago, I was already old, so I returned to my hometown and became the old village chief here."
"So that's how it is." Sang Luo suppressed his shock and nodded.
The old village chief offered her a cup of tea and said, "Where are you from, noble lady? I've never seen you before."
Qingqiu has long been secluded from the world, not belonging to any faction, and has taken in homeless and distressed people from all corners of the world. Sang Luo could have made up a random story for herself, but she still said truthfully, "I'm indeed not from Qingqiu. Because... uh, some things have happened, so I'm temporarily staying in the God's Mansion. This time I came here to help the God run some errands."
The old village chief was so frightened that the cup in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"You said...you live in the Divine Palace?!"
