Mountain dwelling practice: I am a gentle guest in the world

Chapter 716

While Sang Yue was refining the medicine, the isolated patrol tents cooked the medicine soup one after another, and almost all of them recovered. The reason for using "almost" was that some patrol guards with more serious illnesses and older people were willing to take only half a pill and cook the rest into the medicine soup.

Let the younger patrol guards recover first, and then let some ordinary officials who were also infected with the disease drink the medicine.

These officials were selfless common people, good officials who sincerely protected the peace and stability of Yancheng. There were not many capable common officials, and when the epidemic broke out, they were the ones who stood at the forefront and thus contracted the disease.

The current situation requires them to step in and appease the people, and they cannot die.

Even though the guards didn't take the whole pill, their bodies still recovered by more than half. When the common people saw that there were no deaths in the guards' tents, they first cried and begged for mercy, but when they didn't get it, they got angry and tried to besiege the guards' camp under the instigation of some people.

As a result, the fully recovered patrol guards wiped out the riot in one fell swoop, and the riot ended.

In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and plots are in vain.

Without anyone to instigate the situation, the common people could only look to the officials who had drunk the medicine, hoping that they would speak for the common people. But what could they say? The patrol officer told the officials the truth about everyone's situation.

It was impossible for the officials to tell the common people the truth, because there was no evidence to prove that this was a battle between medicine practitioners.

Even if it was, how could the common people fight back? It would only arouse resentment and worsen the condition. In front of the monks, the common people's hearts were insignificant. No matter where they were, the lives of the common people were only slightly important when the monks needed labor.

Being able to find a place to live that is not attacked by monsters or harmed by evil cultivators is the greatest blessing for ordinary people.

If you encounter a competition between medicine practitioners who do not take the lives of ordinary people seriously, you can only accept your fate.

But these truths cannot be spoken casually, and the officials can only do their best to calm everyone down. They told everyone that pharmacists were already preparing antidotes, but the outbreak was sudden and the supply of medicinal plants was temporarily insufficient, so they could only rescue patrol guards to maintain the city's law and order.

Instead of wasting energy and causing conflicts, it is better to stay in the isolation camp and fight the disease with all your strength, waiting for the antidote to be developed to save everyone from danger...

Yan Jingchu learned from Ah Shui and Ah Xing that this was most likely a conspiracy against Ah Sang. If the facts were really as she said, then this was also a threat to him and the lineage of Yan City Lord.

In fact, the city lord also felt it.

Although the attitudes of the two alchemists and pharmacists remained the same, their disciples and relatives had completely different attitudes towards the Yan family. Although they had not officially torn their faces apart, their usual attitudes showed their perfunctory and impatience.

Seeing the number of ordinary people dying increasing day by day, the two alchemists and pharmacists refined several kinds of elixirs, but unfortunately the effects were minimal.

The most effective pill cured the disease on the surface, but the disease relapsed again two or three days later... This happened several times, and the casualty rate of the citizens continued to increase.

The disciples of the two alchemists work in perfect harmony with each other, and usually their actions are untraceable.

The Yan family was so busy trying to figure out who had done what and at what step that had happened that they could not find any clues. Many of the young Yan family members were sympathetic and were so anxious when they saw the serious damage to the city residents.

They all suggested that the city lord and clan elders should quickly report the situation here to their own family and ask them to send another master of alchemy to take charge.

It would be even better if we could help everyone find some evidence against the Luqiu and Wei families. The Yan family has long wanted to replace these two families.

If it is found out that the disciples of these two families really poisoned the people for the sake of fighting for their dignity, the outcome will not be as simple as just replacing them. In Xingsui, high-level cultivators can ignore all living beings, and it is understandable that they make unintentional mistakes against low-level creatures.

If someone deliberately kills someone to achieve a goal, it violates the law and the sentence can be determined according to the severity of the consequences.

However, unlike the young people of the Yan family, the elders of the family firmly opposed informing the family. Since their lineage became the city lord, they have had many conflicts with the Luqiu and Wei families, but each time the Yan family suffered losses. The family was already extremely impatient with their lineage, and if they still could not find conclusive evidence against the Luqiu and Wei families this time, they would never allow them to be as impulsive as before.

Otherwise, the one who will be replaced is most likely the city lord's lineage.

Members of the Yan family who were considered incompetent by their own family would be sent to Lingxiang to farm. As it concerned the future of the entire clan, the elders repeatedly told the young people to be patient, firmly believing that the Luqiu and Wei families were just giving the Yan family a warning.

As long as the Yan family sends someone to apologize to them and negotiate properly, I believe the other party will be able to resolve the issue soon.

The elders warned the young people that fighting over personal feelings would only bring disaster to themselves and their tribesmen. In life, there will always be many embarrassing things that require you to bow your head and compromise.

This is not shameful. On the contrary, if the whole clan is exiled to the spiritual land to farm, then it is not shameful, but a fate of eternal damnation and the end of the path to immortality.

These words made all the young people present dejected and lost all their fighting spirit.

At the same time, the elders of the clan asked Yan Jingchu to expel the pharmacist he met from the city immediately to avoid any more trouble. Anyway, as long as there were no other pharmacists in the city who could compete with the Luqiu and Wei families, Yancheng would eventually return to its former peace.

These words made Yan Jingchu so upset that he left the City Lord's Mansion without even drinking a sip of water.

Unfortunately, the warning from the elders came too late, as the young people had already informed their families of the matter and begged for support.

……

After ten days and nights of expediting and refining, Sang Yue refined a total of eighteen bottles of elixir. Every time she refined a bottle, she would airdrop it to Tang Xingzhu. There was no other way, the epidemic would not wait for anyone, and one bottle could at least save more than a dozen lives.

If we wait until she gets tired of refining it and can't make it grow any longer before taking them all out, the patient will probably be dead.

By then, even if she had medicine, it would be useless. She could only throw out one bottle after refining it. By the time she refined 18 bottles, her patience had reached its limit and she could not continue. Forcing the growth to happen would only result in malnourished medicinal plants growing in vain.

Feeling dizzy, she took a bottle of potion in the manor to wake herself up, and left the space only after she had recovered her strength.

As soon as she appeared in the courtyard, she immediately sensed a strong pressure just outside the barrier of the front door. She looked up vigilantly and found Bai Shuixin, Lu Qingzi and Tang Xingzhu standing at the door together, staring at the people outside.

"What's going on?" Sang Yue frowned and teleported to the front door.

"Master..." Aman, who was still in the manor, was unable to stop it. When he opened his mouth, someone was already standing outside the door with his friends.

"Why are you calling me?" After standing still, Sang Yue asked Aman with her mind, "Do you know who these people are?"

"I don't know," Ah Man replied in a mosquito-like voice, lying quietly in the space without daring to move, "Don't talk to me first."

The master has come out, so it is useless to say anything now, and it may even expose itself. Of course, it may have been exposed, because the two people outside are gods...

Transformed into a spirit? Sang Yue was both shocked and puzzled when she read the thoughts that Ah Man had deliberately sent to her.

What surprised him was that he met two gods as soon as he came out of retreat. What puzzled him was that he didn't know whether they were enemies or friends. If they were enemies, he and his friends would be doomed today.
