Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Signs of Poisoning Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Signs of Poisoning High Alchemist’s face darkened, and for a mont he found himself without a good excuse, so he could only remain silent.
And Mu Liantian’s eyes lit up slightly.
A young Martial Artist in his teens, yet possessing such composure.
This young Martial Artist nad Jing Yan, compared with High Alchemist, seed to have exchanged their deanors.
High Alchemist was quick to speak sharply and displayed anger, but Jing Yan remained calm and unperturbed.
Impressive indeed!
“High Alchemist, let this young man have a look,” Mu Liantian said with a smile, looking towards the two Pill Masters.
In fact, the mont Jing Yan showed his knowledge of the Divine Netherworld Pill, Mu Liantian had made up his mind.
No matter what, this young man nad Jing Yan must have a certain understanding of elixirs.
“I have no objections,” said Pill Master, looking at Jing Yan without any particular expression.
“Hmph, boy, if you cannot provide anything substantive, don’t bla this old man!
As a Fourth-Level Little Pill King, no one has ever challenged !
If you spout nonsense, I will personally put an end to you,” High Alchemist said with a cold snort and a sinister tone.
Jing Yan simply shook his head slightly, not responding.
“Young friend Jing Yan, please follow ,” Mu Liantian said with a smile to Jing Yan.
Jing Yan and Mu Liantian made eye contact, both smiling subtly, sharing an unspoken understanding.
Clearly, from the mont Mu Liantian didn’t drive Jing Yan out of the room, he was already testing him.
By discussing the Divine Netherworld Pill with High Alchemist in Jing Yan’s presence, Mu Liantian also wanted to see if Jing Yan had a deeper understanding of the Alchemy Dao.
If Jing Yan had never even heard of the Divine Netherworld Pill, there would have been no need to take him to see his wife.
His wife was in a dire condition and it was better not to disturb her as much as possible.
Jing Yan and the others followed Mu Liantian into the inner room.
Jing Ziqi was slightly nervous, but she did not panic.
For so reason, her confidence in Jing Yan seed to be growing.
Just like with the Divine Netherworld Pill, which she had never heard of, yet Jing Yan was able to imdiately describe its effects, this spoke volus.
As soon as they entered, a faint, subtle fragrance wafted through the room.
The scent was light and refreshing, not overpowering, and brought a pleasant feeling of relaxation and joy.
On one side of the room, there was a bed veiled with pearl curtains.
Indistinctly, one could see a beautiful woman lying on the bed.
“Liantian…”
A soft voice sounded from the woman’s mouth.
“Rou’er, don’t speak!” Mu Liantian said quickly.
The Housekeeper’s wife, nad Qi Sirou.
As the pearl curtain was drawn, Jing Yan could clearly see the Housekeeper’s wife lying on the bed; her complexion was sowhat pale, and her aura disordered, but her intrinsic noble deanor still made one feel inferior.
“Thank you, young friend!” Mu Liantian said to Jing Yan again.
Jing Yan stepped forward, walking towards the bed.
Qi Sirou saw Jing Yan approaching, and a look of surprise briefly flickered in her beautiful eyes.
Clearly, she hadn’t expected her husband to bring such a young Martial Artist to treat her.
However, she said nothing, as in this world, the people she trusted most were her husband and her daughter.
Her husband must have his reasons for calling this young Martial Artist.
“Rou’er, this young friend Jing Yan is a good friend of Yunfei and knows a bit about the Alchemy Dao, so I’ve asked him to take a look at your condition; he might have a way,” Mu Liantian said softly to Qi Sirou as Jing Yan approached.
Qi Sirou nodded slightly.
“Thank you for your trouble, young friend Jing Yan,” Qi Sirou said with a slight smile at the corners of her mouth as she looked at Jing Yan.
“Madam, please refrain from speaking,” Jing Yan said solemnly.
He walked to the edge of the bed.
“Madam, please extend your hand.”
Qi Sirou did as instructed, extending her snow-white arm.
Jing Yan gently placed his fingers on Qi Sirou’s arm, his Primordial Energy slightly circulating.
To understand the specifics of Qi Sirou’s Fog Vortex, he needed to channel his own Primordial Energy into her body to make a clearer distinction.
“Tricking and bewitching!” High Alchemist, frowning, scoffed at Jing Yan’s actions.
“High Alchemist, please keep quiet to avoid disturbing Jing Yan,” Mu Yunfei said softly.
“Miss Yunfei, I think you have been deceived,” Gao Zhao Hai said with a gloomy face.
“I suspect this young man harbors ill intentions and has ulterior motives!”
“Gao Zhao Hai, my father is right here.
Even if Jing Yan really had any sches, could he possibly deceive my father?” Mu Yunfei felt discontent toward Gao Zhao Hai.
This Gao Zhao Hai had visited the Manager’s Mansion more than once or twice.
Although superficially polite to her father, the Prince Manor’s Chief Manager, Mu Yunfei could tell that Gao Zhao Hai carried a significant air of superiority.
Sotis, his manner of speaking to her father was almost commanding.
And because of her mother’s illness, her father had to keep enduring, even if Gao Zhao Hai sotis spoke out of line.
Her father would just laugh it off.
Moreover, the amount of resources Gao Zhao Hai had earned from the Manager’s Mansion was astronomical!
“Chief Mu may be powerful and respected, but even he cannot see through everyone’s true nature.
The human heart is the hardest to gauge,” Gao Zhao Hai said with a cold laugh.
“Gao Zhao Hai, let’s wait until Jing Yan has checked on my mother’s condition before we discuss this further,” Mu Liantian said, frowning.
He had long held dissatisfaction with Gao Zhao Hai.
However, Gao Zhao Hai’s accomplishnts in the Alchemy Dao were indeed very high.
In the entire Lanqu County City, only a few people surpassed Gao Zhao Hai in Alchemy Dao capabilities.
So, despite his dissatisfaction, he had to hide it.
Jing Yan, with eyes slightly closed.
His Primordial Energy, very gentle and cautious, touched the Mystic Vortex of the Housekeeper’s wife.
A mont later, he shook his head slightly.
The Housekeeper’s wife’s Mystic Vortex was indeed on the verge of collapse, with the Primordial Energy inside extrely unstable and ready to burst out at any mont.
Indeed, if no effective treatnt was found soon, the Housekeeper’s wife could die at any ti.
Even with the utmost care, the Manager’s family mber could only survive a few more months at most.
“Hmm?” Suddenly, Jing Yan’s narrowed eyes flashed.
“This is…” Jing Yan sensed another extrely covert and terrifying aura hidden within the Mystic Vortex.
“No, this is definitely not Primordial Energy, what is going on here?
Damn, such a venomous thing, attached to the barriers of the Mystic Vortex.
If I hadn’t been extra careful, I would never have noticed it,” Jing Yan’s expression changed drastically.
He sensed a very dominating yet extrely covert aura.
Suddenly, Jing Yan realized why the Manager’s family mber had failed to advance to the Dao Spirit Realm and why the Mystic Vortex had beco unstable.
Normally, although the chance of failure during a Martial Artist’s advancent was high.
Even if they failed, it generally only affected their Divine Soul temporarily.
They would need to nurture their Divine Soul for a while and could not attempt a second breakthrough soon; the Mystic Vortex, however, was not usually greatly affected.
Of course, there were cases where the Mystic Vortex was impacted.
But such effects on the Mystic Vortex were usually due to inadequate accumulation of Martial Arts, causing forced attempts to break through.
The Housekeeper’s wife, with such a high status?
Would she lack the resources and try to advance with insufficient accumulation?
That seed highly unlikely!
Jing Yan nodded slightly.
“Such a venomous thing!” Jing Yan unconsciously murmured softly.
“Jing Yan, what did you say?” Qi Sirou’s beautiful eyes shifted slightly, and she furrowed her brows as she heard Jing Yan’s words.
It was indeed puzzling, and Qi Sirou misunderstood, thinking Jing Yan was cursing her.
“Madam, you misunderstand, I was referring to the thing inside your Mystic Vortex!” Jing Yan, slightly stunned, quickly explained.
“The thing inside the Mystic Vortex?” Qi Sirou beca even more puzzled.
Not just Qi Sirou, even Chief Mu Liantian was briefly taken aback.
The thing inside the Mystic Vortex?
What thing could be in the Mystic Vortex?
Isn’t it just Primordial Energy?
But Jing Yan said it was a venomous thing, could there be sothing else hidden inside Qi Sirou’s Mystic Vortex?
How could that be possible?
“Madam, if I’m not mistaken, you’ve been poisoned.
And it’s a very venomous poison,” Jing Yan stated seriously.
“Poisoned?”
“How could I be poisoned?” Qi Sirou looked baffled.
“Jing Yan, what do you an?” Mu Liantian’s expression turned very grim.
“Ha ha ha…” Gao Zhao Hai burst out laughing, “I thought this brat might actually be sowhat capable.
But it turns out, after all that fuss, he cos up with such a laughable statent!
Poisoned?
Ridiculous!”
“Chief Mu, hasn’t the president of the Alchemist Association already examined the lady?
If it were poison, even if we lesser alchemists could not detect it, wouldn’t the president of the Alchemist Association have noticed?” Gao Zhao Hai shook his head, his tone disdainful.
He had been slightly worried before, thinking Jing Yan might actually have so skill.
If Jing Yan found a way to treat the Housekeeper’s wife, he would be quite embarrassed.
But now, he was completely relaxed.
Jing Yan’s claim that the Housekeeper’s wife was poisoned was utterly baseless and nonsensical.
Hearing Gao Zhao Hai’s words, Mu Liantian’s expression grew even uglier, especially when Gao Zhao Hai ntioned Jing Yan’s ‘fumbling’ around for a long ti.
That word ‘fumble’ made him extrely uncomfortable.
Even though Jing Yan had only placed his fingers on his wife’s arm, which was not a big deal, Gao Zhao Hai’s ntion made it quite infuriating.
Mu Liantian’s brows furrowed deeply.
