By the ti we find the other two poisons, extract their toxins, and find an antidote, I’m afraid a considerable amount of ti will be needed; I don’t know if he can wait that long.
Before Yang Chuxia could ask anything else, Mu Shaoling continued with what he had to say in one breath, "Knowing one kind of corpse poison, then you must have the corresponding dicinal materials to neutralize this poison. You know that to resolve corpse poison, you absolutely need corpse flowers. Corpse flowers—you should know without having to elaborate—are flowers that grow from a body, and you know how difficult they are to find!"
"For the blood poison, a toad is definitely needed. Toads are not difficult to find, but corpse flowers are."
"I will have people look for the corpse flowers," Yang Chuxia paused and then said, "The problem is what the other two kinds are. I need to widely recruit people skilled in the art of poisons and dicine. Gathering a wide range of ideas, perhaps soone will know."
"That’s fine!" Mu Shaoling was not at all displeased; he also felt that perhaps there were hidden experts in this world.
No sooner said than done, after leaving Mu Shaoling’s place, Yang Chuxia went to the front courtyard where Fugui was already waiting.
"Madam!"
"No need for formalities. I have called you here because there is sothing I need you to do."
"Please speak, Madam."
"I want you to widely recruit people skilled with poison and dical practitioners. As long as soone is skilled in producing, using, or understanding antidotes to poison, even if they are from the martial arts community, as long as they co, they will be handsoly rewarded."
"Understood!" Fugui did not ask further and accepted the task.
"Also, organize a team to secretly dig for tombs in search of corpse flowers that grow on bodies."
The mont Fugui heard that they were looking for this kind of flower, he felt a chill down his spine.
Digging up people’s graves is such a despicable act, and if it beca known, it would be a matter that causes great reproach.
"Hire others to do this task and search for the flowers without using the nas of the Ye Family or the Yang Family," Yang Chuxia saw his apparent disapproval of digging up graves for flowers and, after thinking it over, explained the whole matter to him, "You know about the strange disease in Shandong, right?"
"Yes, the corpse-like disease!"
"Knowing it is good." Yang Chuxia paused and then said, "Physicians have always thought it was a disease, but the divine doctor told today it is not an illness but a form of poison. The antidote must contain corpse flowers. Although digging up the dead may be immoral, you must understand that the person who has poisoned them is even more immoral. This poison is refined from corpse poison, hence why in the end, people turn into dried-up corpses. To save the thousands in Shandong, we must do this. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" With this explanation, Fugui’s initial disapproval began to fade away.
"Good, then you may go. Be careful, act at night, and after digging, restore the graves. I will have the divine doctor prepare a dicine for you to counteract the tomb’s poisonous vapors," Yang Chuxia continued, "I guess that the older the tomb, the more likely it is to be possible."
"I get it. If that’s the case, we can’t avoid finding so people to investigate where there are ancient tombs."
"Right, you see to it. Rember to hire so capable people. As long as they can find the corpse flowers, the reward will be generous."
"Yes."
After the conversation, Fugui went to carry out his tasks.
In the following days, under the na of the Bai Family from Shandong, Fugui contacted countless people who had achieved certain recognitions in the arts of poison and dicine. Yet, for an entire month, not one person knew what the two poisons were.
Ye Zi’an’s symptoms also beca more and more evident, he had beco so emaciated that his clothes hung on him as if they were draped over a blanket, impossible to keep hidden.
This news gradually spread to the Capital City, and the Emperor finally confird that Ye Zi’an did not deceive him; he was truly sick, which is why waves of imperial physicians started coming to Shandong.
