I became a fox girl and was captured by the True Dragon Saint

"The sterilized larvae lose their ability to reproduce, and their nutrients have nowhere to go, so they become fat and strong... But their reproduction and competition instincts are still there, and then they will turn to attack their own kind."

"Ridiculous!" Si Zhi waved his sleeves disdainfully. "Even if they are deprived of their reproductive ability, what reason do they have to attack their own kind?"

"Dermacentor spp. have a habit of devouring their own kind and their own eggs to ensure the continuation of their own genes. After being poisoned, they become more aggressive and grow faster. The previous dermacentor spp. larvae all showed signs of cannibalism," Jiang Ke'er explained with her last bit of patience. "What we need to do is to amplify their aggressiveness towards their own kind while eliminating their reproductive ability."

"Ridiculous! Ridiculous!" Si Zhi's face looked strange. He just kept repeating the word ridiculous and stopped Jiang Ke'er and refused to give in.

After all, this patient was brought by Si Zhi himself, and he had to decide what means to use to save him and who to save him.

Moreover, Jiang Keer's treatment plan was so bizarre that even the bystanders found it hard to believe her.

"Master Di is here!"

Suddenly, a loud shout was heard outside the Chamber of Commerce.

Everyone's expressions suddenly became serious, and they made way for the gate with high spirits.

A somewhat plump man stepped through the gate. He was wearing a large black Dali Temple official uniform, probably size XXXXXL. Although it was a very dignified uniform, it looked naive on him.

The first thing he did when he walked in was to ask anxiously, "Is Mr. Fu awake?"

"No," Si Zhi stepped forward as if he had found his backbone, "Mr. Fu is too seriously injured. There is no medicine to cure this poison. Even Yi Lan from Lingyin Valley is helpless."

Seeing Si Zhi's slow pace in reporting the situation, Jiang Ke'er slapped her forehead - it's over, it has been dragged on to this point, that unlucky Mr. Fu is really hopeless.

"Besides, I don't know where this yellow-haired girl came from!" Si Zhi glared at Jiang Ke'er angrily, "She actually said she wanted to use bugs to fight bugs! She has repeatedly interfered with the treatment process here!"

Jiang Ke'er endured it again and again, but finally she couldn't bear it anymore.

She rolled up her sleeves and pointed at Si Zhi, saying in a tender voice, "Master Di! He was the one who poisoned me! Search him!"

Si Zhi was confused.

7. The magical effects of poisonous insects

When Si Zhi was disgusted by Jiang Ke'er, he did not expect that Jiang Ke'er would fight back so decisively.

Faced with such a situation, wouldn't a normal person be tempted to explain and excuse himself?

But Jiang Ke'er didn't waste any time on excuses.

"How dare you, girl, slander others?" The Sizhi drew his sword and said, "You must be responsible for your words! Slandering an official of the imperial court is a capital crime!"

Jiang Ke'er was not afraid at all, and seemed determined to fight Si Zhi to the end: "Sir Di, if you want to save Mr. Fu, please do as I say and search him immediately! Time is running out, there is no time to explain!"

Si Zhimu’s face turned pale.

Jiang Ke'er said this, leaving no way back for herself, nor for him.

In order to have a slim chance of saving Mr. Fu, we have to search him today no matter what.

The dignified official nodded and looked at Si Zhi: "Search. If you have a clear conscience, what's the harm in searching you?"

"I...I..." Si Zhi stammered and took two steps back, "My family has an emergency, sir, I have to go back immediately."

"Lin Sizhi!" The wealthy official shouted angrily and waved his hand to order someone to stop him. "Could it be that the girl is right? Are you hiding something?"

"I……"

Na Sizhi's eyes flashed and his face suddenly became ferocious.

He grabbed Jiang Ke'er who was close at hand, put his sword on her neck and took her hostage, shouting, "Get out of the way! Make way! Otherwise I will kill her!"

There were cries of surprise all around, and the crowd quickly retreated.

"Get out of the way," Lord Di said with a gloomy face to the Dali Temple officers and soldiers beside him.

Si Zhi saw that the people around him made way, grinned, and carefully carried Jiang Ke'er towards the door.

"Sure enough," Jiang Ke'er was not worried about her situation and sighed softly, "I felt something was wrong with you before. You delayed time again and again, preventing me from using the correct rescue method... Every step you take seems foolish, but in fact you are scheming deeply. Your goal is to delay until all the larvae die."

"You're concluding there's something wrong with me based on this little guess?" Si Zhi laughed bitterly, "It's really unfair for me to be in trouble today."

"It's not unfair, not at all." Jiang Ke'er's nose twitched, revealing a somewhat intoxicated expression, "This faint scent of snake grass on your body should be used to drive away poison."

"You...you can smell it?" Si Zhi looked at Jiang Ke'er in shock, but denied it categorically, "Impossible, I didn't apply any snake grass today, stop talking nonsense here."

"Just because you didn't apply it today doesn't mean you didn't apply it before," Jiang Ke'er's lips curled up, "People who often come into contact with Gu worms must take precautions. If you want to bewitch the human skin flies, you must apply the snake grass every day to prevent yourself from becoming a parasitic fetus of the Gu worm."

“But I didn’t apply it today.”

"So what? You've already been marinated."

"..." Si Zhi's face froze for a moment, "But I didn't ask."

"Just like a fishmonger cannot smell the fishy stench on himself, if you stay in bed for a long time, you will not be able to smell the stench of the quilt. We call this phenomenon a dull sense of smell...

If you smell the scent of snake grass more often, your olfactory perception threshold for snake grass will be constantly raised. If you don’t even know this, it seems that the level of popular science education in Miaojiang needs to be improved.”

Si Zhi's face became redder and redder, and he became angry and embarrassed by what Jiang Ke'er said.

"Shut up! Otherwise I'll kill you!"

He wanted to give Jiang Ke'er a light cut on the neck as a lesson.

However, as soon as the tip of the knife moved, he felt an unshakable force grabbing his sword.

"You can make a fuss," the woman in the white veil held the sword with two fingers, her cold voice carrying a hint of murderous intent, "but if you dare to hurt her, today will be the day you die."

"Master?!"

Si Zhi was horrified and immediately chose to drop his sword and run away, his body floating up and jumping out of the wall.

“Can he leap lightly? A fifth-stage Wind Controlling Martial Artist?” The officers and soldiers of the Dali Temple were shocked. “Si Zhi is actually such a master. It’s over. We can’t catch up… Go and call for help to intercept him!”

As Na Sizhi saw the wall getting closer, a smile appeared on his face.

Unexpectedly, his ankles suddenly tightened and his body suddenly became extremely heavy. Not only could he no longer jump up, but his face was getting closer and closer to the ground.

"Boom-"

With a dull thud, the tiles in the Chamber of Commerce courtyard cracked into human-shaped marks, and Nasi fell to the ground unconscious with his face flat.

A group of Dali Temple officers and soldiers rushed over and handcuffed him.

"Lady hero, you are so fast!" Everyone looked at the woman in white in surprise.

The woman in white did not respond, but said, "Search him quickly, Mr. Fu can still be saved."

The officers and soldiers of the Dali Temple immediately did as they were told and soon found several bottles and jars on the Sizhi's body.

Jiang Keer hurried over and opened the bottles one by one, and soon found a bottle containing small white worms - they were the larvae of the human skin flea.

With them, there is no need to wait for the eggs to hatch slowly.

Without saying a word, she cruelly pressed the bugs to the ground, pricked their white and tender bellies with a fine needle, and applied some wound-healing medicine.

Then he stuffed the bug into Mr. Fu's mouth.

"Does this method really work?" Even Lord Di, who was more receptive, had never heard of this treatment method before and walked over to observe the situation closely.

After the insect entered the body, several oval-shaped bulges appeared under Mr. Fu's skin.

Just like a greedy snake, as it swam in a twisted way, the bulge became bigger and longer. By the time it reached Mr. Fu's toes, it was as thick as an eel.

After that, they stopped under Mr. Fu's feet and became motionless.

Jiang Ke'er waved the scalpel and cut open the end of Mr. Fu's foot skin at a dazzling high speed.

Then the tweezers grabbed the white worm's head with lightning speed and slowly dragged it out.

"hiss--"

The scene was so refreshing that the sounds of people gasping for air and rubbing goose bumps could be heard all around.

With a sizzling sound, Jiang Ke'er pulled out the entire eel-like white worm intact. The worm's tail slowly separated from Mr. Fu's body, and the originally raised skin gradually shrank like a deflated balloon.

This is just the first one, there are four more times of equally exciting happiness.

Jiang Keer then pulled out four more large white worms. When all the white worms twisted and came out, Mr. Fu's whole body seemed to become thinner.

"The worms will first devour the easily absorbed fat, move along the fat layer, and then the internal organs." After pulling out all the worms, Jiang Ke'er looked at the white worm thoughtfully and put it into the glass jar like a treasure.

"What new discoveries have you made?"

After the chaos, Lord Di was now very impressed with Jiang Ke'er's methods, and even changed his way of addressing her to honorifics.

Jiang Keer's eyes lit up:

"This bug...maybe it can be used as a diet pill!"

"..."

8. Sister Qiao Qianxue, are you...

The wealth of the people in the Tang Dynasty reached an unprecedented level.

The byproduct of the surge in productivity and income is a surge in weight.

Coupled with the disappearance of spiritual power, the methods originally used to control body shape have lost their effectiveness... Obesity is becoming one of the biggest social problems plaguing the people of the Tang Dynasty.

If the weight continues to rise like this, I'm afraid everyone will just be able to self-deprecate and regard being fat as beautiful.

A fairy weighing 300 kilograms is not inferior to others, but obesity can cause many difficult diseases, and it is an abnormal sub-health state.

In order to reduce the pressure on hospital beds, weight loss actions are imperative.

So... although this method of weight loss is a bit disgusting, maybe there is a market for it.

Jiang Ke'er was thinking seriously and had already begun to imagine taking a bath in the magic crystal... Oh, no, she could have taken a bath in the magic crystal a long time ago.

"Cough cough cough-"

As Doctor Lan of Lingyin Valley continued to administer the medicine, Mr. Fu slowly woke up. He coughed a few times and wanted to stand up and kneel when he saw Lord Di struggling.

"No need to bother, just lie down... Doctors, may I ask how Mr. Fu is doing now? Can I take him back home?" Lord Di asked humbly.

"The next step is to take care of the wound and prevent infection. He is basically out of danger now," said Doctor Lan from Lingyin Valley, looking at the sky. "The temperature is not high today, so it is fine to transport him back to the mansion. However, we still need to avoid bumps when moving him to prevent the wound from tearing."

"Thank you."

At this time, Mr. Fu seemed to have something to say, but he kept hesitating.

Lord Di ordered the officers and soldiers of the Dali Temple to lift him up and winked at him: "There are too many people talking, let's go back to the palace and talk."

So, the officers and soldiers from the Dali Temple came in a hurry and carried Mr. Fu away in a hurry.

The Taiming Chamber of Commerce gradually returned to its original state. Merchants and associates were noisily discussing business matters, while Jiang Keer quietly took out her unfinished medical examination answer sheet.

She hid in a corner, preparing to fill out the answer sheet and hand it over to Yilan from Lingyin Valley for review.

"Why are you still answering the test paper?" That doctor Lan came over, stood in front of Jiang Ke'er with her hands on her hips, and said with a smile, "How can you find out the true strength of a medical practitioner just by talking about it on paper? Your performance just now, the knowledge of medicinal materials and the ability to judge pathology have even far surpassed mine. Why are you still answering the test paper?"

"Hey~ You're too kind. It's just that I've seen more herbs," Jiang Ke'er scratched her head with a silly smile.

"I heard you're going to the Western Regions?" The Lingyin Valley doctor Lan smiled and sat next to Jiang Ke'er. She looked at the many noisy merchants in the field and said loudly, "Bosses of the Chamber of Commerce, make an offer! If the price is too low, I won't let this little sister go with you!"

The bosses of those chambers of commerce have long been drooling over Jiang Keer.

This trade route passes through the Miao Mountains for most of the time. It would be reassuring to have a powerful doctor like Jiang Keer who knows a lot about poisonous insects following us!

They rubbed their hands and waited eagerly on the side, having been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"Eight thousand coins!"

"You're sending away beggars? Fifteen thousand!"

Ever since the government banned the trading of spirit stones, the means of trading among the people has changed to copper coins minted by the government.

The purchasing power of one penny is about three dollars in later generations.

A trip to the Western Regions takes about half a year, and including the round trip it takes a total of one year... This annual salary is indeed not high in Yilan.

"Forget it, forget it. Stop arguing. Money doesn't matter. Safety is the most important thing," Lingyin Valley doctor Lan interrupted everyone's bidding and said, "Whose team has the most powerful martial artist?"

“I’m awesome!”

“I’m awesome!”

It wasn't long before they started arguing again.
