Bai Suzhen, I really need to punish you properly.

Jishetang is not hard to find.

As the two stepped outside, they could see a large crowd gathered diagonally opposite, making it quite conspicuous.

As the two approached, Wang Xuan grabbed Xiao Qing's wrist, indicating that he would watch from the outside.

It turns out that Jishetang had set up a stall outside the entrance.

Inside, a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest from Maoshan was talking boastfully.

The Maoshan Taoist priest had sallow skin, a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, triangular eyes, and high cheekbones, giving him a treacherous appearance.

A low table in front of me was covered with small medicine bottles.

A long banner stands nearby, which reads "Divine Physician Wang Daoling specializes in treating difficult and complicated diseases".

Wang Daoling was eloquent and persuasive; with just a few words, he could leave the patients who came to see him completely bewildered.

Some people bought the elixir on the spot and took it, finding it to be remarkably effective.

I don't know if it's a hoax or the truth.

In short, many people spent money to buy it, and the scene was very lively.

Wang Daoling then raised his voice again, "Everyone, everyone, I have something even fresher here. Look at this!"

After saying that, he waved his hands and conjured a bowl of water out of thin air.

The onlookers applauded and cheered upon seeing this.

I never expected to see a variety show while I was there for a medical appointment.

"This is called the Water of Ten Thousand Spirits, and it's even more effective than the Elixir of Ten Thousand Spirits. Here, try it."

The crowd looked at each other, and one after another declined, no one daring to try first.

Xiaoqing frowned; she could faintly sense a demonic aura emanating from the other party.

She leaned close to Wang Xuan's ear and whispered, "He seems to be a demon."

Wang Xuan nodded calmly and then pulled her away, saying, "Let's go back first."

He didn't want to confront the toad spirit Wang Daoling so soon.

It doesn't make sense.

He came over just to confirm whether it really was that toad demon.

When it's time to actually take action, then decisively kill him.

Xiaoqing asked, puzzled, "Are we leaving already?"

"Because I already know who is responsible for the plague in the city."

Who is it?

"you guess."

"You mean that demon?"

Wang Xuan nodded slightly.

Even if Wang Xuan didn't know the plot, he could still guess that the disease in the city was caused by Wang Daoling.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

So many people in the city fell ill at once, and then suddenly a so-called cure-all elixir appeared here.

This underhanded tactic is like some auto repair shops deliberately throwing nails into the nearby road.

Xiaoqing suddenly turned back.

Wang Xuan quickly grabbed her wrist: "What are you doing?"

Xiaoqing said confidently, "I'll expose him."

"We don't have any concrete evidence, do you think he'll admit it?" Wang Xuan pulled her back. "There are so many people here, it's not good to act rashly. We need to think this through carefully."

……

Back at the county office, Wang Xuan summoned Rouge and Mingzhu together again.

Although Rouge had just begun her cultivation and her magical power was weak, Wang Xuan did not want to exclude her when discussing matters.

"The source of this plague outbreak in the city is someone secretly poisoning it. You all need to be careful and not drink water from outside sources."

Rouge asked, "What kind of person could be so vicious?"

"It's Wang Daoling, who sells the Panacea at exorbitant prices in the city. He first deliberately poisoned people, then forced them to buy his antidote."

Xiaoqing immediately suggested, "We can try to get the antidote back first."

"That's what I think too." Wang Xuan nodded gently. "Mingzhu, you have the highest magic power. Tonight, you deliberately lure him away to the wilderness south of the city. Then, Xiaoqing, you take the Five Ghosts and sneak into Jishetang to steal all the antidotes back."

Xiaoqing retorted arrogantly, "Why don't you say anything about stealing now?"

"Treat people with courtesy and respect, but treat beasts with any means necessary."

Xiaoqing laughed and said, "Don't worry, we're experts at stealing. What about you?"

"Of course I ambushed him with Mingzhu."

"You?" Xiaoqing looked hesitant. "Why don't you take the Five Ghosts to steal it, and I'll deal with him?"

Wang Xuan shook his head: "Although my cultivation level is low, I still have some offensive techniques, I just need to gather my strength. In addition, I have already sent someone to deliver a message to Daoji of Lingyin Temple, asking him to come and assist me."

Rouge asked worriedly, "Husband, is it really necessary to take such a risk?"

Wang Xuan said solemnly, "This monster is vicious. If we let it go today, there will be endless trouble in the future."

Wang Daoling and Bai Suzhen had a long-standing grudge, and he would surely come looking for trouble again in the future. Wang Xuan had no intention of letting him go.

He had no intention of switching the antidote like in the original drama, thus ruining Wang Daoling's reputation. He only wanted to gather all his strength to kill that toad demon.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan couldn't help but sigh, "If only your sister were here."

The words had barely left his mouth when a flash of white light appeared.

Bai Suzhen stood in the room, her figure pure and otherworldly.

She had actually been back for a while, but hadn't figured out how to make her appearance.

Wang Xuan was quite surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Qing, am I hallucinating because I miss your sister so much?"

"Sister! You're back!"

Xiaoqing was overjoyed and quickly threw herself into Bai Suzhen's arms, acting coquettishly.

Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "I calculated that there is an unresolved old grudge in Qiantang County, and I was afraid that you might be in danger, so I came back."

Wang Xuan feigned displeasure and said, "If we weren't in danger, would you have just stayed away from coming back?"

Bai Suzhen bit her lip lightly, her face showing shyness. When she left, although she wanted to find rare and precious spiritual objects as her dowry, she was also somewhat lost and confused.

Looking back now, I really feel bad for Wang Xuan.

He was so good to me, and then I turned around and entrusted him with taking care of my benefactor and sister, and left without saying goodbye.

Wang Xuan stopped joking and instead asked, "You said there's an old grudge, what do you mean by that?"

"The one I have a grudge against is Wang Daoling," Bai Suzhen slowly recounted. "Three hundred years ago, he harassed my sisters on Mount Qingcheng, and I beat him back to his original form."

Wang Xuan, feigning ignorance, asked, "What kind of demon is he?"

"Toad spirit."

"Tonight, we'll settle all our old and new scores. Rouge, you stay home."

Rouge nodded obediently, knowing that her presence would only cause trouble.

Bai Suzhen frowned slightly, feeling a pang of pity: "We can simply expose his plot and save the people. Must we really kill him?"

She is kind by nature and has been practicing Buddhism ever since, observing vegetarianism and precepts, and has never committed any acts of killing.

"want!"

Wang Xuan's tone was extremely firm.

He knew all too well how vicious this toad demon was.

If you let him off this time, he'll only be thinking about how to ruin you next time.

"This time, he committed evil on our territory. Next time, if he goes elsewhere to commit evil, we won't be able to control him. He will then harm even more people. If we let him go, it will only lead to more bloodshed."

Xiaoqing quickly chimed in, "Yes, sister, why be polite to these kinds of people? If you don't want to do it yourself, just leave it to them."

Bai Suzhen pondered for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Alright then."

Wang Xuan smiled and said, "Xiao Qing, I'll save his inner core for you later."

"real?!"

"More real than pearls."

Bai Suzhen didn't want the toad spirit's inner core, Yan Zhi couldn't use it, and as for Mingzhu, it didn't matter whether her cultivation improved or not, since she would have to repay the inner core and lose all her magic power in the future.

Bai Suzhen then looked at Mingzhu, who was standing quietly to the side, and asked, "Who is this...?"

She had been curious about it for a long time, but she never had the chance.
