Lu Qing took out a silver ingot, placed it on the counter, and imdiately drifted away.
However, before he left, he also took the jar of Poison Blood with him.
Dr. Zhao originally wanted to detain him for a bit, but Lu Qing's movent technique was extrely formidable, seemingly unhurried, yet within the span of a few breaths, he had already exited the clinic and disappeared from view.
Seeing this, Dr. Zhao could not help but realize that this mysterious Young Master Lu was not only highly skilled in dical arts but also a Martial Artist of astonishing strength.
"Ah, how co the Young Master left so quickly, we hadn't even paid him for the dical treatnt!"
Uncle Li and the others were stunned by the sudden departure of Lu Qing.
After musing for a mont, Dr. Zhao asked, "Xiao Yi, what kind of dicinal herbs did Young Master Lu want to buy from us?"
"Master, the Young Master wanted to buy quite a few things, oh right, he left a list."
The young apprentice dashed back to the counter, picked up the list of herbs Lu Qing had given him earlier, and handed it to his master.
Dr. Zhao quickly glanced at the list: "All of these herbs are used to reduce inflammation and swelling, and to treat external injuries, this is a prescription for healing wounds and growing new flesh. Has soone in the Young Master's company been injured?"
After leaving the clinic, Lu Qing noticed that the sky outside had completely darkened.
It seed he had spent quite a bit of ti saving a life, and he wondered if his master and the others were getting anxious.
With these thoughts on his mind, Lu Qing quickened his pace towards the direction of the inn.
He still carried the pottery jar filled with Poison Blood and, upon reaching a certain corner where he was sure no one was around, he flashed into a dark corner and tucked it into his Qiankun Qi Bag.
The reason he took the Poison Blood with him was because earlier, when he forced the poison out of Old Wang, he had used his Superpower to probe the origin of the Poison Blood.
Just as he predicted, the Snake Poison in Old Wang's body was no ordinary Snake Poison.
It was venom that had undergone a mutation and had evolved from a Jin She that had inadvertently absorbed and refined Evil Qi.
This poison was very strange in nature. While its onset in a human body was not particularly rapid, it was exceedingly hard to get rid of.
It could completely perate a person's organs and was very difficult to remove.
If it were not for his array of acupuncture points, which were no common technique, it would probably not have been so easy to force out all of Old Wang's poison.
What's more, there was a terrifying aspect of the poison; when it encountered blood, its toxicity would not weaken but gradually change the nature of the blood, turning it into a toxin similar to itself.
In other words, the half-jar of Poison Blood extracted from Old Wang's body now had a toxicity not much less than that of the original Snake Poison.
Ordinary people touching it might very well fall poisoned, allowing the Snake Poison to invade and create new toxins.
This was sowhat similar to the zombie poison in movies from his previous life, able to continuously spread.
Thus, to prevent such an occurrence, Lu Qing simply decided to take all of the Poison Blood with him, planning to find a way to destroy it later to eliminate any future troubles.
After pocketing the Poison Blood, Lu Qing walked silently down the road.
Although he had saved a life today, his mood was not one of relief, but rather one of heaviness.
He and his master had previously speculated that the changes in the Heaven and Earth Rules might bring about more than just the recovery of Spiritual Energy.
Along with this recovery might co various forms of Evil Qi, Demonic Qi, and poisonous gases.
People like Mo Zhen from the Flowing Cloud Sect had beco devoid of humanity precisely because they cultivated such Evil Qi and Demonic Qi.
However, the events of today made Lu Qing realize that it wasn't just people who were affected by such Qi, but all living creatures in the world.
For instance, if fierce and venomous creatures like snakes and scorpions ca upon an opportunity to absorb and refine the Evil Qi or Demonic Qi of the world, they were sure to beco even more terrifying.
If ordinary people encountered them unawares, survival would be difficult.
Just like Old Wang today, if he had not t Lu Qing, he certainly would have t a violent end.
"Jiuli Village is situated at the foot of the deep mountains, and who knows how many fierce beasts and venoms lie hidden in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains behind the village.
If there are venomous creatures or beasts, like the Jin She, that have undergone mutations and attack the village, what then?"
The thought unsettled Lu Qing.
Before coming to Central State, he had not realized that the changes here were so profound, catching him sowhat off guard.
"Based on the observations along the way, this spiritual energy recovery is clearly centered in Central State, radiating outwards to the surrounding states.
Our Cang State is remote, nearly the farthest from Central State, and it shouldn't develop into a state where everything undergoes strange mutations so quickly.
So, there is still ti."
Lu Qing pondered in silence.
Jiuli Village was the place he had lived in ever since he arrived in this world.
The people of the village were also very genuine and kind-hearted, and he had long since regarded it as his hotown.
So he would absolutely not stand by and watch it be destroyed.
Therefore, he decided that once things were settled in Central State, he'd rush back to at least ensure the villagers' safety.
With his thoughts sorted, Lu Qing slowly returned to the inn.
As he entered, he saw his master and the others all sitting there, with many dishes laid out on the table.
"Ah Qing, where did you go? Why have you only co back so late?" the elder doctor asked.
If it weren't for the fact that he knew of Lu Qing's abilities, and had learned from the innkeeper that Lu Qing had gone to buy dicine, he might have gone to search for him himself.
"Disciple went to look for a pharmacy to buy so dicinal materials. I ca across so matters on the way and was delayed for a while."
Lu Qing brushed aside his emotions and smiled, briefly recounting what had happened at the clinic.
