The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 570 The trouble won't end until the Corpse Demon is eliminated.

Lang Jiuchuan understood that human nature is selfish, and the situation described by Daoist Zhishang was very likely to occur. For example, some powerful families would always try to obtain these talismans.

It's fine if you get it from a Taoist priest who can draw talismans through legitimate means, but if you plunder what should be used by the people, then don't blame her for being impolite!
So it's not enough for her to say it; she also needs the official's endorsement. Anyone who dares to embezzle or use it for personal gain will be executed along with their entire family. And this talisman must be drawn by a Taoist priest with cultivation.

Imperial Preceptor, you are the national advisor who protects the country, shouldn't you be duty-bound to do so?

Drawing the Zheng Yang Po Miasma Talisman was not difficult for Lang Jiuchuan. She immediately drew ten talismans and gave them, along with the prescription and decoction method, to General Ma and the two Taoist priests, asking them to administer the medicine in Yangchun Prefecture.

She also needs to improve the effective treatment to truly eradicate the corpse poison.

Master Zhishang silently watched as the two fellow Daoists who had come with him carried away the Zhengyang Poisoning Talisman, which felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. Looking at Lang Jiuchuan, apart from his slightly pale face and greatly depleted vital energy, he was not like that at all!

The differences between people are only apparent when compared; otherwise, they are not hurtful.

So what was wrong with him when he was persuaded to question her possession by a different soul in front of the Lang family mansion?
His face still feels burning hot.

Lang Jiuchuan waved his hand in front of Daoist Zhishang and said, "Daoist, do you have any suggestions for improving this prescription? Those who have been poisoned by corpse poison can drink this medicine soup that can break the miasma, but it can only inhibit the continued spread and deterioration of the corpse poison. The better ones can regain their senses, but the poison in their bodies cannot be completely eliminated."

Master Zhishang came to his senses, his face flushed, and said, "To be honest, I have not studied medicine in great depth."

"Then I'll trouble you, Daoist, to draw a talisman to dispel the miasma." Lang Jiuchuan didn't make things difficult for him. He walked up to Xiaoyu and checked her pulse again. They had regained their senses, but if the corpse poison wasn't removed, it would eventually devour their life force.

She looked down at the bone bell at her waist and saw its light blue color, which belonged to the spiritual energy of a water spirit. She couldn't help but think about it.

If the water used to brew the medicine were imbued with spiritual energy, wouldn't that be even more beneficial? To be honest, this corpse poison is not much different from carbuncles. It's just that the corpse demon that spread this corpse poison is particularly sinister. She must have been nourished in an extremely sinister and decadent place to become so extremely sinister and poisonous. Just like the deep pit and corpse mountain of corpses last year, only such an extremely yin and evil place could tame such a sinister and poisonous corpse demon.

"Xiaoyu, where did the Corpse Demon come from? Does anyone know?"

Xiaoyu's face turned pale, and she shook her head: "Uncle Dazhu was the first to find her, and also the first to be bitten."

Just as Lang Jiuchuan was about to say something, a fellow Daoist suddenly exclaimed in surprise, calling out Lang Jiuchuan's name.

Lang Jiuchuan stood up, only to see Dazhu lying on the ground, shaking violently and spitting out mouthfuls of blood. There was something mixed in with the blood. Dazhu suddenly glared at his eyes, his legs straightened, and he quickly lost his breath.

Everyone was a little confused. Wasn't there some kind of medicine that could stop the spread of the corpse poison and make the symptoms less severe? How come Dazhu is gone?
Lang Jiuchuan walked over, reached out and touched the man's neck. The man had no pulse. He sighed and said, "This medicine is good for healthy people, but it can't detoxify. Moreover, his internal organs are necrotic, and there is no cure."

So if the corpse poison can't be cured, will I still die?
Those infected with the corpse poison were mostly silent, bewildered, and some even showed despair.

Without hope of survival, one simply counts down the days.

Lang Jiuchuan frowned as she looked at the filth that Dazhu had vomited. She picked up a twig and poked at it. The blood was mixed with some rotten pieces of internal organs, as well as some small, granular things.

These are insect eggs?
Her face was solemn as she watched the insect eggs seem to be surging. Suddenly, one egg burst open, and a worm burst out, surging and sucking the pool of dark blood. Then, it slowly grew larger, becoming an ominous, dark green worm.

"These are corpse worms." The Taoist priest gasped.

If these creatures lived on a human body, feeding on human blood to grow, once they hatched, that person would undoubtedly become their food, their internal organs devoured, not to mention their blood, leaving them lifeless and an empty shell of a corpse. Lang Jiuchuan suddenly realized something was amiss; had she overlooked something?

"Ahhh, it's come back to life! Fellow Daoist, be careful!" the young Daoist priest screamed.

Lang Jiuchuan saw a dark figure rushing straight towards her, baring its fangs. Her eyes flashed, and without thinking, she unleashed a palm strike.

Boom.

The dark figure was cleaved into pieces.

That was Dazhu's corpse.

Lang Jiuchuan stood up and realized something was wrong. Dazhu was dead, but his soul hadn't left his body, so he had become a zombie.

This is the true Corpse Demon!

This sudden change shocked everyone.

Lang Jiuchuan walked to Dazhu's corpse and was struck by a bolt of lightning. A large hole appeared in his body, and his soul floated out, but it was scattered and disappeared into the green smoke.

She pried open his mouth, and his two tiger teeth turned into sharp fangs. In other words, after the internal organs of the seriously ill are corroded by the corpse poison, not only will corpse worms breed, but after they die, they will become evil zombies.

Master Zhishang's face turned deathly pale: "How could this be? Did the medicine not work?"

"This is a critically ill patient. His internal organs are all corroded. Moreover, the corpse poison has been in his body for a long time, and it has also nurtured corpse worm eggs." Lang Jiuchuan pointed to the corpse that had been smashed by the big pillar, revealing its internal organs, which also contained worm eggs.

“But he clearly drank the Poisonous Soup of Yang, which should have suppressed the Yin energy and prevented these insect eggs from hatching.” Master Zhishang said, “Do you think it’s because the source has become more powerful? We haven’t found that Corpse Demon yet. The more people she feeds on, the more energy she gets, and the more poisonous she becomes.”

Lang Jiuchuan frowned: "You mean, like the mother worm, the more poisonous she is, the more poisonous the poison that spreads is?"

Master Zhishang nodded: "She is the source. She has bitten not only Dazhu, but countless others. If one bites ten, the source of this poison is immeasurable. She herself absorbs people's essence and vital energy. The more she absorbs, the stronger and more poisonous she becomes. The more people she harms, the more resentment and illness she receives in return, just like faith and willpower, which can become her nourishment and energy."

The Corpse Demon has its own method of cultivation.

Lang Jiuchuan watched as the insect eggs inside Dazhu's body hatched, then cast a talisman and said in a deep voice, "So as long as this corpse demon is not eliminated, our troubles will not end."

She took out a communication jade talisman, made a hand seal, and sent the message to Gong Tinglan through the talisman: the corpse demon needed to be captured as soon as possible.

Immediately afterwards, another message was sent to Gong Si: those critically ill patients with damaged internal organs who were beyond saving should have their heads cut off immediately upon death, and their bodies burned, to prevent them from becoming true evil spirits, which would be even more uncontrollable.

She looked at the terrified eyes of those who had been infected with the corpse poison for a long time, and her heart skipped a beat.
