Chapter 37: Collecting the "Manggu Red Clam"

.....................

Fang Han pulled Cheng Lingsu back a little, his expression solemn.

His medical abilities were mostly limited to dealing with relatively normal illnesses, even those that were difficult and complicated. However, situations involving strange poisons, or even the most toxic in the world, were truly beyond his capabilities.

In the first round of life simulation, I never encountered this kind of thing. At most, there were cases where people accidentally took poisonous herbs or mushrooms, or were bitten by common poisonous snakes.

Those were just ordinary poisons, and he could deal with them.

However, facing this creature called "Manggu Zhuha", his medical skills were relatively limited as he had no idea about its internal structure.

In this respect, he is far inferior to Cheng Lingsu.

Fortunately, this poison was not so unreasonable. After retreating a considerable distance, the dizziness and nausea no longer worsened, and the bitter taste of the detoxification pill in his mouth gradually eased.

Fang Han thought to himself: "Duan Yu's situation was indeed an accident.

If he had not taken the highly toxic herb, and had not been bitten by the electric marten, the poison would have been added to the poison. He would have been poisoned to death within a breath or two when the "Manggu Zhuha" came out and approached him.

How could he survive after being eaten by both a black-red centipede and a Manggu red clam?

In the original novel, the two Wuliang Sword Sect disciples guarding Duan Yu once discussed that the sight of this "Manggu Zhuha" would cause poison to rush to the forehead, turning into pus and blood and causing death. Although this was just a hearsay, there is probably a high degree of truth in it.

Cheng Lingsu obviously also felt the severity of the poison, and obediently stepped back from Fang Han. Then she carefully examined Fang Han's face for a while, poured out some medicine and applied it on several of his acupuncture points, and then she felt relieved.

Fang Han let it do its thing. As soon as the medicine was applied to him, he felt a wave of coolness. The dizziness and vertigo were immediately relieved a lot. The internal energy in his body began to circulate, and he felt much better.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Lingsu, what kind of medicine is this? It's so effective?"

Cheng Lingsu smiled sweetly and said, "Some time ago, because of the successful cultivation of this 'Seven Heart Begonia', it always attracted some extremely poisonous insects and snakes to linger nearby. So I prepared some special antidote medicines. The antidote pill I just gave you is made together with this. It has the effect of restraining and neutralizing many poisons. It's not a big deal."

Fang Han: “…”

Only those who know the matter know what kind of great ability is hidden in the understatement of Cheng Lingsu's words!

What else can I say?

I can only sigh again:

My wife Lingsu has the potential to be the King of Medicine!

Cheng Lingsu continued, "Brother Fang, the Manggu Red Clam isn't dead. It must have eaten the flowers and leaves of the Seven-Star Begonia and fallen into a coma."

After a pause, he added, "This 'Manggu Red Clam' seems to feed on poison. It wanted to eat the 'Seven-Hearted Begonia' as well, but it didn't expect that my 'Seven-Star Begonia' is not easy to deal with. The poison in its flowers and leaves is the most toxic in the world. Even the 'King of All Poisons' would be unconscious for a while."

"Brother Fang, if you want this 'Manggu Zhuha', now is the best time. I'll go get it."

"Are you sure?" Fang Han frowned slightly. Seeing Cheng Lingsu eager to try, her eyes sparkling, it was obvious that she was aiming for the "Manggu Zhuha". He had to swallow his words of dissuade and asked seriously instead.

Cheng Lingsu smiled sweetly, like a blooming flower, dazzling and charming, and said in a clear voice: "You know my ability~"

Fang Han pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and warned: "Be careful."

He didn't say anything about everyone going together. He felt dizzy just by getting close to them. If he really went over, it would not be helping, but making things worse.

Cheng Lingsu hummed in response, took out the silver needle and jade bottle from her bosom, took light steps, came to the front of "Manggu Zhuha" and "Seven Heart Begonia", squatted down gently,

Facing the colorless and odorless poison surrounding her, Cheng Lingsu seemed to ignore it and did not show the same dizziness as Fang Han. Instead, she calmly stretched out her hand, holding the silver needle, looked at the "Manggu Zhuha" for a moment, and inserted the needle instantly.

No one knew how she did it, but she managed to stab the "Manggu Zhuha" without any movement, but some red liquid flowed out. It was not obvious on the red Zhuha, but Cheng Lingsu had a sharp eye and immediately took the jade bottle and gently received it.

After about half a quarter of an hour, the small jade bottle was full, and through the jade bottle body, one could vaguely see the blood-red liquid inside.

The "Manggu Zhuha" did not react at all, but its size shrank a lot from its original size of more than two inches.

Cheng Lingsu carefully sealed the small jade bottle, then stood up, took light steps, and walked a few feet away, but did not return to Fang Han.

"Brother Fang, please wait a moment."

She immediately searched for some rattan and began to weave with her bare hands. Soon, a small and breathable cage was made. She came back to the "Manggu Zhuha", put it in with a Teng branch, and closed the small mouth of the cage.

Instead of holding it in her hand, she put it on the ground. Cheng Lingsu stepped back, took out some medicine powder from her body, smeared it a few times, and then returned to Fang Han.

"Are you alright?"

Fang Hanzi carefully observed Cheng Lingsu's face and saw that there was no sign of poisoning, but he was still worried.

"It's okay~" Cheng Lingsu was obviously very touched by Fang Han's care and chuckled.

Fang Han was still a little worried, so he touched Cheng Lingsu's little hand and carefully felt her pulse. After confirming that it was correct, he finally felt relieved.

Cheng Lingsu didn't say a word during the whole process, but her face was filled with a happy smile and she looked at Fang Han tenderly.

Chapter 38: Red Clam Elixir

.....................

Fang Han felt relieved and started to ask other questions.

"The things you just collected are the poison of the Manggu Red Clam?"

Cheng Lingsu nodded: "Well, although Master didn't find any trace of this poison back then, he did collect many related rumors and made many guesses and judgments, which turned out to be quite correct.

The method of collecting its poison is actually quite simple."

Fang Han thought to himself that this was only easy for you, but difficult for others, even him.

He glanced at the Manggu Red Clam trapped in the small cage and said uncertainly, "Can that thing hold it?"

Cheng Lingsu shook her head slightly: "Probably not possible, only temporarily."

"The 'Manggu Red Clam' is incredibly poisonous. I just harvested the vines I was going to use to weave the cage, and they're already withering and turning yellow. I'm afraid they won't last long before they become brittle."

"If you want to lock it up, you need to use something else to make it. In such a hurry, there is no other choice. This is the only way for now. But don't worry, Brother Fang. I have my own plan."

Fang Han heard this and nodded gently: "It's good that you know it in your heart."

He was also quite happy in his heart. With this "Manggu Zhuha", with Cheng Lingsu's ability, let alone developing poison pills and poisons with it, even the "immunity to all poisons" that he hoped for would not be impossible.

After the "Manggu Zhuha" incident, Fang Han's plan to come out of seclusion had to be temporarily shelved.

The two stayed in the cave in the valley for another half a year.

During the past six months, apart from the essential daily martial arts training, Fang Han and Cheng Lingsu spent the rest of their time studying the toxicity of the "Manggu Zhuha".

Well, Fang Han was just playing a supporting role and learning at the same time.

Cheng Lingsu has much more time than Fang Han, because ever since Fang Han mastered the meridian circulation diagram of the "Northern Divine Art" and cultivated the Northern Divine Internal Force on his own, he basically no longer needs Cheng Lingsu to look after him all the time.

It is worth mentioning that Cheng Lingsu did not practice the "Northern Sea Divine Art". It was not because he was unwilling to practice, but simply because he did not have the conditions to practice.

Like Fang Han, she also practiced internal skills and violated the taboos of practicing the "Northern Sea Divine Art".

Fang Han was able to succeed because of Cheng Lingsu's miraculous medical skills. Even if the patient's internal energy training went astray for a moment, he could still be cured easily. They kept practicing until they became really familiar with it and remembered it deeply.

But on the contrary, this condition does not exist.

First of all, Fang Han's medical skills are not up to standard. He is far from being able to calm down internal energy conflicts, meridian disorders, and even meridian damage as easily as Cheng Lingsu.

Naturally, it is impossible for me to take care of Cheng Lingsu.

If Cheng Lingsu practices on her own, she will inevitably fall into an extremely dangerous situation where her path is contrary to her own.

As the saying goes, a doctor cannot treat himself. With Cheng Lingsu's ability, he can certainly treat himself, but faced with such an extremely dangerous situation in an instant, he is helpless and unable to do anything.

Therefore, after much consideration, he decided not to practice the "Northern Sea Divine Art".

Cheng Lingsu didn't care much about this. She had no interest in magical skills.

It’s fine if you can practice, and it’s fine if you can’t.

If Fang Han had not shown great interest in martial arts, which made her a little fond of him, she would have given up after reading the secret book and knowing the taboos and difficulties, without thinking about how to practice.

However, she really liked the "Lingbo Weibu".

She had extremely advanced light Kung Fu skills. Even though she was just a beginner, she had made a great improvement in this area.

This is very helpful for her to go up the mountain to collect herbs, and it also brings many benefits when she is out.

In short, compared to Fang Han who practiced both "Bei Ming Divine Art" and "Ling Bo Wei Bu", Cheng Lingsu only practiced "Ling Bo Wei Bu", so he had much more time.

She was also very interested in the Manggu Zhuha, and Fang Han also had high hopes for it. Firstly because of her own interest and secondly because of her husband's expectations, she naturally took it very seriously.

Apart from some necessary things, almost all of their time was spent studying the Manggu Clam and the red venom obtained from it.

After half a year, this extremely intelligent girl, who had an extraordinary talent and understanding of medicine, finally succeeded in developing a miraculous elixir!

"Red Clam Elixir"!

This miraculous pill is made with the red venom of the Manggu Vermilion Clam as the main ingredient, mixed with the poisons of seven or eight other strange poisonous creatures in the Wuliang Mountain, and the Seven-Hearted Begonia as the medicine!

It is called a miraculous elixir because almost all the materials used in its refining process contain highly toxic substances, among which the red venom and the seven-hearted crabapple flower leaves are the most toxic of all, and are the most poisonous things in the world!

However, through the ingenious combination and refining of Cheng Lingsu, the toxicity was neutralized by using poison to counter poison, or in other words, the toxicity was suppressed.

"Brother Fang, you told me before that if I swallowed the poison of the Heartbreak Grass, the Lightning Marten, the Crimson Centipede, and then swallowed the Manggu Vermilion Clam, I would very likely become immune to all poisons. I've thought about it carefully over the past few months, and while this might seem strange, it's not impossible."

"It's just that the order of the actions, the time interval between taking the poison, and the patient's physical condition—any mistake could lead to completely different consequences. The situation you describe is extremely rare! Almost impossible!"

"But according to this line of thought, there is indeed a possibility of success."

Fang Han looked at the black and red pill, feeling somewhat unbelievable: "Ling Su, did you succeed?"

Cheng Lingsu pursed her lips and smiled, then rolled her eyes at Fang Han. "It's only a preliminary success. You're well versed in this, but how come you don't know the principles of making pills and medicines? Without verification, how can you say it's a success? We need further testing, which will take at least half a year, or at most two or three months."

Fang Han sighed for a while: "In front of you, I really dare not say that I know the way of medicine. Our Lingsu is really amazing~"

Cheng Lingsu smiled, a faint blush on her face:

"Brother Fang, please wait a moment. I will develop this elixir as soon as possible."

Fang Han nodded happily: "Wait! Of course I have to wait!"

Chapter 39: Immunity to All Poisons

.....................

It was said to be half a year, and indeed half a year had passed.

Cheng Lingsu finally fully confirmed the medicinal properties, toxicity, and possible sequelae of the "Zhuha Lingdan".

Because the material of this pill was extremely poisonous, she did not dare to be careless in the slightest. So even though it was basically confirmed in the second month, she still spent another four months to confirm it repeatedly and constantly seek accuracy.

However, due to this incident, the loss of various medicinal materials was extremely huge, especially the red venom, which had been consumed long ago, and they had no choice but to continue taking it from the Manggu Zhuha.

Fortunately, this Manggu Red Clam was trapped by Cheng Lingsu a year ago and kept in a corner of the medicine garden. It was fed with various poisons and gradually grew back to its original size, or even exceeded it.

And I don’t know if it’s because I ate the flowers and leaves of the Seven-Hearted Begonia, but after digesting them, the toxicity became even more terrifying.

Therefore, the second batch of crimson venom extracted from it is more toxic than the first one!

The reason why Cheng Lingsu spent four more months was not only because he was striving for perfection, but also because the toxicity of the main medicine was enhanced, so the refining of this "Zhuha Lingdan" required a lot of adjustments.

Now, a perfect "Zhuha Lingdan" has finally been refined.

After taking it, you will be immune to all poisons!

Be able to treat all the poisons in the world as nothing!

As a result, the cultivated seven-hearted crabapple plant completely withered because too many flowers and leaves were picked, and the Manggu red clam also died shortly after absorbing the red venom in the second round.

Cheng Lingsu can cultivate the Seven-Hearted Begonia again, but there is only one Manggu Red Toad, and it would be extremely difficult to find a second one.

Cheng Lingsu smiled widely and handed the "Zhuha Lingdan" which had cost her a lot of time, energy, thoughts and efforts to Fang Han.

"Brother Fang, please take this pill quickly. I'll watch over you."

After saying that, he took out silver needles, as well as bottles and jars. Those were all detoxifying and anti-toxic drugs, which had been developed in recent times.
