Chapter 436: Chapter 438: Siblings Reunite (Part 5)
Mu Ruyue’s willow-shaped eyebrows slightly furrowed as she exclaimed almost subconsciously, “Corpse Worm Poison!”
Indeed, this should be the Corpse Worm Poison described in the Dan Book, she hadn’t expected to encounter it here…
“Stop!”
Suddenly, a cold shout echoed in the tranquil mountains.
Immediately, a middle-aged man walked up from the front of the carriage and scrutinized Mu Ruyue from head to toe. Raising an eyebrow, he asked, “Miss, you know of Corpse Worm Poison?”
Mu Ruyue glanced at the middle-aged man and replied indifferently, “Correct.”
In that instant, the middle-aged man’s eyes brightened, his gaze filled with a hint of hope, “May I ask from whom did you learn, and where is your master?”
“My master is not here.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man sighed with some disappointment, “I won’t hide it from you, miss. My master… my young master is severely afflicted with Corpse Worm Poison. We sought countless Pharmacists to no avail. We’ve just returned from the territory of a Mortal-grade Pill Pharmacist. Since you can recognize Corpse Worm Poison, your master must certainly be an Elixir Master. So, may I trouble you to ask your master to help treat my young master?”
Mu Ruyue’s eyebrows raised, “Then may I see your young master?”
“Please, miss.”
The middle-aged man nodded and lifted the curtain of the carriage. Instantly, a pale blue face appeared before her eyes.
The young man lay inside the carriage, seemingly in agony. His originally handsome face was now covered in a ghastly blue hue due to the depth of the poisoning, and his lips were also blue and purple.
Upon seeing his condition, Mu Ruyue’s eyes suddenly brightened…
“It is indeed Corpse Worm Poison, and it’s a thousand-year-old Corpse Worm Poison!”
A thousand-year-old Corpse Worm Poison was also considered a very precious toxin, and from the treasure book she had just viewed, this Corpse Worm Poison was an indispensable item for creating Puppets.
If it had been any other time, she would have preferred not to meddle, but this time, she could not help but intervene… If she could absorb so much Corpse Worm Poison, it would be enough for her to create an army of Puppets.
“Your young master is not beyond help,” Mu Ruyue suppressed the excitement in her heart and looked up at the middle-aged man.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man’s eyes filled with joy.
For many days, all the Pharmacists had claimed the Fourth Prince was beyond saving, only she spoke such words. Even if she was exaggerating, it could not help but bring him joy…
“Miss, when will your master arrive? May I have the honor of meeting him?”
In the middle-aged man’s view, relying on Mu Ruyue alone did not seem feasible. So many Pharmacists had been unable to treat him, could a teenage girl possibly manage?
Therefore, this young lady must have taken a powerful Pharmacist as her master, and that Pharmacist could treat Corpse Worm Poison…
Thinking this, the middle-aged man’s breathing grew tense.
“Prepare some medicinal herbs, and after you’ve prepared them, come find me,” Mu Ruyue said simply, too lazy to explain further.
“…”
The middle-aged man was momentarily stunned. Were they to start preparing the herbs already?
Before he could respond, Mu Ruyue recited a long list of medicinal herb names, prompting the middle-aged man to quickly snap back to reality and instruct someone by his side to write them down.
“Miss, once I have prepared the herbs, where should I find you?”
After pondering for a moment, Mu Ruyue said, “Imperial Capital Xiao Family.”
“Xiao Family? Miss, are you a member of the Xiao Family?” the middle-aged man asked in surprise, then suggested, “We are also heading to the Imperial City. How about we travel together?”
