"Ruo Ruo, this poison looks really serious. Can you cure it?" Zhao Jinzhong looked at Wu Sheng, who was almost as black as charcoal, and was full of worry.

"Brother, let me try."

Zhou Ruo began to gather the toxic energy of the Heavenly Toad, Ice Toad, and Toad Gu King that she had collected into one place within her body.

Then, using spiritual power, it was refined into a "dan qi".

Zhou Ruo took out a silver needle from his bosom, gathered the elixir energy at the needle tip, and inserted it around Wu Sheng's wound.

Soon, the black poison around the wound dissipated and stopped recurring.

However, the power of the silver needles could not eliminate the toxins from the other half of his body.

Wu Sheng's wound was on his arm. The silver needles had already removed the black poison from his upper body, but the poison remained in his lower body.

"Why is that?" Zhou Ruo was also a little puzzled.

A problem that could be solved with a single needle using 100% spiritual power becomes an insurmountable obstacle when faced with 50% spiritual power.

The acupuncture Zhou Ruo had just given Wu Sheng temporarily saved his life; the poison in his heart had been neutralized.

However, if the remaining toxins are not removed in time, he may lose his lower body.

Wu Lian trembled with worry, and asked Zhou Ruo in a tearful voice, "Miss, is there any hope for my brother?"

"He is not in immediate danger, but the poison in his lower body has not yet been neutralized."

Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Wu Lian breathed a sigh of relief, but the second half made him feel choked up again.

"If the poison in the lower body isn't cured, what will happen?" Wu Lianneng guessed that the situation wasn't optimistic, but he still wanted to hear Zhou Ruo say it herself.

"Then it needs to be cut off!" Zhou Ruo replied expressionlessly.

Wu Lian's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

Zhao Jinzhong still felt there was a glimmer of hope. "Ruoruo, you must have a way, right?"

He believed that Zhou Ruo could solve this problem just as well this time.

"Brother, let me have two fruits first, I'm hungry."

As Zhou Ruo spoke, she turned around and walked back to the pile of fruit, picked up an apple and ate it.

While eating, I tried to come up with ideas.

She just used toad venom to counteract the poison of the Ice Mystic Grass; the medical principle is to fight poison with poison.

Since using poison to fight poison is effective, could it be that the poison used is not potent enough, or that the poison is not completely appropriate for the condition?

When she finished eating the second fruit, a sudden inspiration struck her.

Zhou Ruo slapped her forehead. "How could I not have thought of that? I must have been hungry!"

She finally remembered why she was so happy when she saw the deadly poison.

That day, after eating a lemon, she felt an itch inside her body, and a voice in her head told her:

The stronger the toxicity, the better the effect of the refined elixir.

She didn't quite understand the sentence at the time, but she remembered it and subconsciously kept an eye out for things that were highly poisonous.

It wasn't until she saw the Ice Mystic Grass turn Wu Sheng into a large black charcoal that she realized that poisonous substances were the magic medicine for refining elixirs.

She walked back to Wu Sheng's side and waved her hands a few times on the Ice Mystic Grass.

He absorbed all the toxic energy of the Ice Mystic Grass into his own energy body.

The moment Zhou Ruo absorbed all the energy from the Ice Profound Grass, the entire Ice Profound Grass withered away.

Everyone was astonished by what they saw; they had never witnessed anything so fantastical.

Zhou Ruo refined the toxic energy of the Ice Mystic Grass into pill energy within her body, gathered it on the silver needle, and inserted it into Wu Sheng's bloodline.

Immediately afterwards, she saw the energy of the Ice Mystic Grass rapidly spread from the tip of the needle to every part of Wu Sheng's body.

Soon, the black poison on Wu Sheng's body dissipated, the poison from the Ice Mystic Grass was neutralized, and Wu Sheng woke up.

"Wow!" Zhou Ruo exclaimed, "So that's how it is! This elixir is amazing!"

But the next second, Zhou Ruo's stomach rumbled again.

She clutched her stomach and ran back, "Refining the elixir used up too many fruits, and I'm hungry again!"

It wasn't until Zhou Ruo ran away that the soldiers realized Wu Sheng's poison had been neutralized.

"My God! This is unbelievable! I just saw Wu Sheng's skin turn from black to white with my own eyes! It's like a dream!"

The soldiers exclaimed in surprise.

"Incredible! Even ten doctors of the Jade Clinic couldn't do this!"

"Hey! How dare you talk like that? Be careful, Doctor Yu might make things difficult for you and refuse to treat you anymore!"

"Don't be afraid anymore! We don't need to be afraid anymore. I think there's no illness in the world that Miss can't cure!"

The soldiers, one after another, mostly praised Zhou Ruo's medical skills as miraculous and wonderful.

Zhao Jinzhong stayed by Zhou Ruo's side the whole time. When she ran back to eat fruit, Zhao Jinzhong followed her back.

He heard everything the soldiers said.

He began to wonder, Zhou Ruo was illiterate and unable to read before, so how did she acquire such divine medical skills?

"Ruo Ruo, you haven't read any medical books before, have you? How come your medical skills are so amazing?" Zhao Jinzhong asked.

Zhou Ruo wolfed down the fruit, and after a while, she stopped and answered Zhao Jinzhong's question.

"Hiccup~ Brother, I used to study medical books."

Zhao Jinzhong was surprised: "But you couldn't read before."

Zhou Ruo: "I didn't read books like yours before."

If all the books I've read were made into the same format as the books here, the entire General's Mansion wouldn't be able to hold them all!

How many books on immortal medicine she read in her previous life, even her master probably doesn't know.

Zhao Jinzhong smiled slightly; his sister was talking like a child again.

Wu Lian helped Wu Sheng to Zhou Ruo's side, where they knelt down to express their gratitude.

Wu Lian: "Miss, you saved my life before, and today you saved my brother's life. I can never repay your kindness!"

Zhou Ruo felt a little happy. She thought it was good to be able to read and write. She could understand what Wu Lian was saying.

In addition, she can quote extensively from classical texts.

"You're welcome! Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda, so I should thank you for building this pagoda for me!"

Everyone was amused by Zhou Ruo.

Zhao Jinzhong was very pleased; teaching his younger sister to read was really effective.

But Zhou Ruo was the happiest, as she had solved the mystery of the "power of the elixir" and now had a direction to follow.

She discovered that the forest contained many highly poisonous plants, and perhaps also highly poisonous animals.

If we can collect all their toxic energy for our own use, then using the power of the elixir will be much easier.

After reading the book, Zhou Ruo made another discovery: she suddenly understood the pattern of her spiritual power growth.

The greater the merit of the person she saves, the more her spiritual power is restored.

For example, treating dozens of wounded soldiers is equivalent to treating one doctor, because the doctor himself has the merit of saving lives.

Treating Zhao Yucheng restored 10% of her spiritual power, and among all the doctors who treated her, Doctor Yu restored 20% of her spiritual power.

Zhou Ruo guessed it was because Zhao Yucheng had saved more people than the doctors; after all, he was a general, and the doctors had to listen to him.

In addition, the greater one's merits, the more difficult their illnesses are to cure, and therefore the greater the recovery of their spiritual power.

Therefore, she needs to carefully refine the power of this hard-won elixir in order to be able to treat even more difficult-to-treat illnesses in the future.

"Brother, I want to collect all the poisonous plants in this forest!" Zhou Ruo said to Zhao Jinzhong.

Zhao Jinzhong was startled. "Why are you collecting poisonous herbs?"

Zhou Ruo: "Collecting poisonous herbs can be used to save people, just like we saved that uncle earlier."

Zhao Jinzhong: "You can do it like this? How do we collect it then?"

Zhou Ruo thought for a moment, then decided that she could use her spiritual power to sense the location of the poisonous plants, and once she found them, she could collect them all!

"Hehe, I have a plan!" Zhou Ruo's clever appearance was really endearing.

Zhao Jinzhong: "Alright, brother will come with you to collect it!"
