Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1491: Chapter 551: Another Disciple of the Jade Hand Poison Master

The next day, inside the county government office in Ah County.

”Wretched women, how dare you steal the transfer order!”

Crying was heard as Elder Jing’s two beautiful concubines fell to the ground.

Elder Jing originally thought that Ye Lingyue, a small City Lord, would easily compromise with some intimidation.

Who could know that when he summoned them today, he discovered that the Huangquan Team had already vanished.

Moreover, the transfer order previously issued by the Jiu Provinces Alliance was also taken.

Upon interrogation, Elder Jing realized his two concubines were the traitors.

In a fit of rage, he dealt with them ruthlessly.

”Ye Lingyue, you have the audacity to deceive me. Do you think escaping Ah County means you can avoid my watchful eyes?”

Elder Jing felt infuriated by being played like a fool.

Even with the transfer order, he had ways to discreetly dispose of Ye Lingyue and her team.

After all, claiming they were attacked by demon beasts would suffice when reporting it later.

”Someone, come.” Elder Jing was about to call for help when suddenly he felt discomfort in his stomach.

He rushed to the latrine, nearly dehydrating himself in the process.

From morning till afternoon, Elder Jing couldn’t even muster the strength to stand.

What’s worse, Elder Jing found his Primordial Power was decreasing with each bout of diarrhea.

Terrified, Elder Jing immediately summoned an Alchemist to diagnose him repeatedly.

”Elder, your symptoms seem to indicate poisoning.”

The Alchemist appeared quite young, seemingly in his twenties.

He had recently joined Elder Jing’s ranks.

Because of his detoxification skills, Elder Jing valued him and brought him along to Ah County.

Upon understanding Elder Jing’s symptoms, the Alchemist’s check led to a furrowed brow.

”Elder, if I’m not mistaken, you are indeed poisoned. However, the type of poison still needs identification.”

Elder Jing hurriedly ordered a thorough check of all food, water, and daily utensils, but no signs of poisoning were found.

It wasn’t until the following day that the Alchemist discovered a type of poison in the sachets worn by Elder Jing’s two concubines.

”Elder, you’ve been poisoned by something called Leak Essence Fragrance. Its scent is similar to women’s cosmetic powders, easily confused. But prolonged use causes one’s Primordial Power to gradually diminish. Eventually, will be utterly depleted, leading to serious consequences.”

The Alchemist had seen this poison mentioned in an ancient book. The formulation of this poison was long lost.

”Question those wretched women thoroughly.”

Hearing this, Elder Jing nearly fainted.

The two concubines were beaten to the brink of death, barely clinging to life, before tearfully revealing that the sachets were given by Miss Guangzi.

As for who Miss Guangzi is, she’s said to be a member of the Huangquan Team.

As it turns out, Guangzi had previously shared the method to steal the transfer order with Ye Lingyue.

Upon hearing, Ye Lingyue devised a plan.

She recalled seeing Leak Essence Fragrance in the Jade Hand Poison Master’s Poison Scripture, a unique poison of the Jade Hand Poison Master, with no antidote. It isn’t harmful to non-cultivators, making it extremely difficult to detect.

Ye Lingyue had previously concocted some for fun to use for defense.

Being bullied by Elder Jing, Ye Lingyue was unwilling to take it lying down.

She gave this poison to Guangzi.

Guangzi pretended the sachets were a holy beauty product and convinced the two women to wear them.

When Elder Jing favored the two women, he inadvertently inhaled plenty and unknowingly got poisoned.

”This is outrageous, daring to poison me. Tell me, is there an antidote for this poison?”

Alarmed, Elder Jing checked himself and found his Primordial Power rapidly dwindling.

”Elder, it happens to be fortuitous. If it was someone else, they would indeed be helpless against this poison. Fortunately, my ancestors happened to know a detoxification method.”

The Alchemist, eager to please, produced a booklet.

On the booklet was written ”Five Poison Treasure Record,” with the handwriting differing, clearly not from Jade Hand Poison Master.

But compared with Ye Lingyue’s Five Poison Treasure Record, this booklet was much thinner.

Yet upon opening it, one could still find records of ”Leak Essence Fragrance.”

According to the records, the poison permeates the body via the skin, damaging the organs. The initial symptom is incessant diarrhea, followed by utter exhaustion, until Primordial Power is entirely depleted, occurring over three days.

Furthermore, once the poison manifests fully, its remnants vanish completely, rendering any trace impossible.

These few lines left Elder Jing drenched in cold sweat.

He quickly read further, discovering the antidote and exhaled in relief.

Fortunately, he discovered early, with only a third of his Primordial Power lost... but soon his expression sank again.

At the end of the detoxification method, it stated that while the poison can be cured, even after detoxification, the victim’s Yang Essence would be depleted, making intimacy with women impossible henceforth.

Implying that even if Elder Jing were cured, he would be impotent.

”Ye Lingyue, I will kill you!”

Furious, Elder Jing slammed the table, but remained weak, struggling to even get up.

Only now did Elder Jing realize why City Lord Ma wanted to deal with Ye Lingyue.

He had initially thought she was merely a small City Lord, manipulable as he pleased, incapable of resisting.

Little did he know, she stung like a venomous wasp, with a heart as toxic as they come. This time, he misjudged her.

But with matters at this stage, Elder Jing could only opt for detoxification; impotence was preferable to the complete loss of Primordial Power.

After detoxifying Elder Jing, he remained resentful.

”Ready a thousand elite soldiers, immediately pursue and leave none from the Huangquan Team alive!”

Elder Jing arrived with two thousand soldiers, initially intended to confront the Demon Clan, but now to deal with Ye Lingyue and her group instead.

”Elder Jing, I have a request. Please allow me to accompany the soldiers. There must be a poison master within the Huangquan Team; with me, success is assured.”

The Alchemist with Nie surname volunteered.

”You indeed thought it through. Then you may set out with the thousand elite soldiers.”

Without hesitation, Elder Jing agreed.

The Alchemist with Nie surname then received the order, departing with the thousand elite soldiers out of the city.

At the city gates, the Alchemist with Nie surname suddenly reached into his neckline, retrieving a peculiar necklace, black in color and resembling some Fragment.

”Unexpectedly, I’ve found descendants of the Jade Hand Poison Master here. Certainly, they possess Jiu Provinces Cauldron Fragments. I have to thank that useless City Lord; with these thousand elites, success is guaranteed.”

The Alchemist with Nie surname chuckled, then set off with the thousand elite soldiers.
