Lying in bed, Ye Suixin recalled Liu Feng's words from earlier that day and thought without a doubt, "So he really is something else?"
He didn't speak, afraid of waking Ye Xiyun.
Unable to fall asleep, Ye Suixin simply went for a walk.
The streets were silent, except for the occasional sound of drunkards talking.
"Old Zhang, it's so late...aren't you...aren't you afraid your beautiful wife will run away?" In the alley, the two stumbled along, clearly having drunk quite a bit.
"She dares to do that... wait... wait until we get back, I'll teach her a lesson... show her what's what."
"Your sister...she's pretty good too, hehe."
"Old Li, my sister, you too..." Before he could finish speaking, the man collapsed.
Old Li also squatted down beside him, looking at Old Zhang's face.
Suddenly, a shout rang out, "Hey, Lao Zhang, what's wrong?"
Seeing Old Zhang, who had suddenly become emaciated and was nothing but skin and bones, Old Li was horrified. He instantly regained his senses and cried out in alarm.
Hearing the shouts, Ye Suixin rushed over and saw a corpse lying on the ground, with a person kneeling beside it, trembling. She asked, "Uncle, what happened? How did he become like this?"
Ye Suixin let out a breath; the sight of the corpse sent chills down his spine.
Old Li's body trembled uncontrollably. "Old Zhang... Old Zhang is dead, suddenly... suddenly he... just died, so scary... scary..." he kept muttering to himself, clearly terrified.
Seeing that Old Li was trembling, Ye Suixin went over and channeled some spiritual energy into him, and the latter gradually calmed down.
They went over to Old Zhang, checked his pulse, and were surprised to find that the old man was not dead, but his breathing was very weak.
"Uncle, he's not dead yet," Ye Suixin said to Old Li beside her.
Old Li couldn't believe it, his voice tinged with surprise: "What, really?"
"Yes, but his breathing is very weak. I'll give him some pills to see if he can recover," Ye Suixin continued.
So they gave Old Zhang two Rejuvenation Pills, but they had no effect.
I took out two more pills and fed them to him.
Old Zhang's mouth, which had been open, slowly closed, and his breathing became more rapid.
Slowly opening his eyes, he looked at Old Li, his voice hoarse, and managed to say, "Old Li, I...I...what happened to me?"
Old Li quickly helped Old Zhang up: "I was just about to ask you what happened. You really scared me to death just now."
He then pointed at Ye Suixin: "If it weren't for this little immortal being here, you might not even be alive."
Old Zhang also looked at Ye Suixin without saying a word, only showing a grateful look.
Afterwards, Ye Suixin asked Lao Li for other details but didn't get any useful clues.
They were given some healing pills, and Old Li was told to take Old Zhang home first.
Zhao Lei, who was secretly watching everything that had just happened with Ye Suixin, was equally puzzled. "Suddenly losing vitality doesn't make sense. Could it be the life-snatching herb?"
He remembered the miraculous herb "Life-Snatching Grass" from the "Pharmacopoeia". Life-Snatching Grass is extremely rare, but its effects are very powerful. As long as someone takes it, it can quickly cause them to lose their vitality and then die.
But Old Zhang didn't die immediately. Could it be that the medicine's effects were diluted? Zhao Lei wondered.
Afterwards, Ye Suixin felt a little sleepy and went back to sleep.
The next day, the streets were filled with the sounds of discussion.
"Have you heard? Huang Yu fell ill yesterday."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"I don't know, he just collapsed suddenly, and was just skin and bones."
That was terrifying! If it weren't for the fact that he still had a pulse, we would have thought he was dead.
"Could it be the work of demonic cultivators again?"
"No way, didn't he drink the holy water?"
......
The next day, the two finished breakfast.
Ye Suixin and Ye Xiyun inquired along the way and found out that a total of 10 people had an accident last night. All of them had lost their vitality and were just skin and bones, lying in bed, looking similar to Old Zhang last night.
"Let's go check on them and look for clues while we're at it," Ye Suixin said, looking at Ye Xiyun.
The latter nodded.
Liu Feng also heard about these things and thought to himself, "What exactly are you planning to do? If you really do this, there will be no turning back."
He was a third-grade alchemist, and later went to the victim's home to treat the injured.
After all... after all, this matter is related to him to some extent, and we can't just sit idly by.
In a courtyard, Ye Suixin and Ye Xiyun stood in the middle, while a skinny young man lay on a straw mat on the ground in front of them.
"How scary!" Ye Xiyun covered her mouth.
What's wrong with him?
"Almost all of our life force has been lost," Ye Suixin explained as she took out the pills.
After the young man woke up, Ye Suixin asked him some questions, and his answers were either "I don't know" or "I just shake my head."
Ye Suixin had no choice but to give up and went to several other places, but the answers were all similar.
But he discovered they had one thing in common: they had all drunk the so-called holy water.
Ye Suixin and Liu Feng arrived at the last house without prior arrangement, simply because it was the furthest one, and they saw each other at the door.
Ye Suixin spoke first, asking, "Brother Liu, are you also here to investigate this matter?"
His identity as a cultivator had probably already been seen through by the other party, so he simply stated it directly.
"Yes, they were fed water made from boiled life-snatching herbs," Liu Feng told them directly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Suixin suddenly realized: "Is it the kind of miraculous medicine recorded in the 'Pharmacopoeia'?"
