Xue Ling landed on the bed. She picked up a strain of purple herb that was scattered next to the man’s body. “Looks like this man’s poisoned. However, he’s unlucky. He got his hands on the Purple Flame Grass, but before he could consume it, the poison kicked up and he fainted.”
“You’re referring to that Purple Flame Grass which can cure all types of poisons and also prevent any poisons from attacking one’s body once consumed?” A trace of shock flashed past Qiu Nuo’s eyes.
She knew how precious Purple Flame Grass was. It was invaluable, especially to apothecaries.
Preventing any poisons from attacking one’s body was what all apothecaries longed for. That meant that they could come into contact with more medicinal ingredients without worrying about the impact on their bodies.
Xue Ling nodded, then frowned. “However, this Purple Flame Grass is too young. It’s less than three hundred years old. For it to fully exert its efficacy, it needs to be at least tens of thousands of years old.”
“Tens of thousands of years? That’s… that’s too exaggerated!” Qiu Nuo was so shocked that her jaw dropped.
One had to know that the Luojia Empire became independent for only slightly more than three thousand years.
A strain of Purple Flame Grass that could fully exert its efficacy could win against the history of three Luojia Empires!
“Indeed, a herb that is tens of thousands of years old in this continent is considered precious. However, you don’t have to react so strongly!” Xue Ling gave Qiu Nuo a side glance and waved the Purple Flame Grass in her hands. “This strain of Purple Flame Grass looks fresh. It should have been dug out not too long ago. We can use Spirit Fountain to expedite its growth so that it becomes tens of thousands of years old. It’s just that we need a slightly longer time.”
Although her Spirit Fountain could expedite the growth of herbs, it was effective only once a day. No matter what, it would require at least three years for a strain of herb that was hundreds of years old to become tens of thousands of years old.
However, a treasure like Purple Flame Grass was something that came by luck, to begin with. No matter what, they were the ones at the winning end if it took them just three years to produce a strain of Purple Flame Grass that was tens of thousands of years old.
“Okay, bring the Purple Flame Grass back and grow it. As for this man…”
Qiu Nuo tapped her chin and looked at the outrageously handsome man lying unconscious on the bed. Since she had already taken his Purple Flame Grass, she naturally shouldn’t ignore him. To compensate him, she would be kind-hearted and save his life! Anyway, this strain of Purple Flame Grass wouldn’t produce much effect. Even if this man used it, he might not be able to detoxify himself. She might as well keep it for her own use in the future. Good things shouldn’t go to waste, right?
“Oh, right.” Xue Ling seemed to have suddenly thought of something as she said, “If you have the chance, collect the seeds of all 127 commonly-used herbs from the Qiu family’s medicinal garden. The more, the better. I’ll help you plant them in my space and use Spirit Fountain to water them once daily so that you don’t have to go outside to buy them if you need these commonly-used herbs in the future.”
“I’ll take note.” Qiu Nuo nodded.
If Xue Ling’s Spirit Fountain could really produce the miraculous effect of stimulating the growth of herbs, she would have a large number of thousand-year-old herbs one hundred days later.
How would she be short of money again then? There would be more than enough for her to be the richest person in Tianluo City!
…
After Xue Ling returned to her space, Qiu Nuo took out a few thin needles wrapped in silk from her suitcase.
These were the embroidery needles she asked from Die Yi. She didn’t expect to use them so quickly.
In Qiu Nuo’s impression, the doctors in this world didn’t know acupuncture and moxibustion. They normally spent some effort in finding out one’s physical condition before prescribing the right medicine.
However, there were a lot of illnesses that couldn’t be cured by medicine.
Common poisons only needed antidotes as a cure. However, some specially configured poisons would require specialized antidotes. Otherwise, even the best antidote wouldn’t be of help.
The poison this outrageously handsome man suffered from was undoubtedly tricky.
Qiu Nuo took his pulse first, then checked his condition for a while. She found out that the poison in this man’s body had long penetrated into his organs. It was already a miracle that he was still alive.
It seemed like her wanting to get rid of all the poison in this man’s body was just wishful thinking…
Qiu Nuo recovered. She then reached out and removed the man’s belt. Then, she removed his coat.
Even if she was someone with professional work ethics, she couldn’t help but swallow her saliva when she saw the handsome man before her.
This man was simply a sin!
Qiu Nuo took a deep breath. She steadied herself, then picked out a few thin needles.
“This feels really bad. When I have money, I’ll definitely make a good set of silver needles.”
Qiu Nuo mumbled to herself. She focused and inserted the thin needle into the man’s acupuncture points accurately and skillfully.
…
An hour later, Qiu Nuo removed all the thin needles from the man’s body. Then, she placed two fingers on the man’s wrist.
“His pulse is fairly stable. There shouldn’t be any major problems for the time being.” Qiu Nuo couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
The poison in this man’s body was more difficult to deal with than she thought. Her skills of acupuncture and moxibustion alone could only help to control the poison temporarily.
However, thankfully, this man survived. She didn’t take his Purple Flame Grass for nothing.
Just when Qiu Nuo was about to retract her right hand, she suddenly felt something tighten on her wrist. Someone forcefully pulled it and she fell into a warm embrace.
Shocked, she looked up. A pair of deep, phoenix-shaped eyes slowly opened and looked at her quietly.
“Who are you?” A quiet and lazy voice could be heard from his mouth clearly.
Qiu Nuo was a little angry. However, after struggling for a long time, she couldn’t break free from his embrace. In the end, she just lay on his chest with peace of mind. She curved her lips and said, “Why? Are you planning to devote yourself to me to thank me for saving your life?”
A hint of surprise flashed past Mo Ziyan’s eyes. This girl who looked like she was only fourteen or fifteen years old was teasing him?
“Are you sure?” Mo Ziyan curved his good-looking, thin lips slightly and lifted her chin.
Qiu Nuo’s face immediately flushed red. She glared fiercely at him and said, “Who treats his lifesaver like this? Let me go quickly!”
“Didn’t you say you want me to devote myself to you?” Mo Ziyan looked at her with interest. This little girl was quite unique. If it were another woman, she would have long fainted from happiness for being able to be so close to him.
“I was just teasing you. You treated that seriously?” Qiu Nuo rolled her eyes at him.
This man was too unreserved. He could casually hug a woman he met for the first time. It was obvious he was up to no good!
If Mo Ziyan knew what Qiu Nuo was thinking, he would definitely voice out loud for being wronged. He was a good and innocent man who never lusted over women.
He allowed Qiu Nuo to be close to him because he didn’t hate it.
