Chapter 599 - The Secret Order of the Poison Sect (1/2)

If one were forced to watch and helplessly bear it as their muscles and bones were inverted, it would be torture.

At the thought of it, Lin Mengya couldn’t help but feel a chill rush down her spine.

Therefore, she had to try her best to find the real antidote before the symptoms developed.

Otherwise, it was very likely that Long Tianyu would become a scapegoat for Gu Die.

In this way, Lin Mengya forgot about the matter of competing with Gu Die. She had no interest in doing so, and besides, she had no time.

“What a quack! He’s such a quack!”

Baili Rui growled in anger. Under his careful observation, he could already identify the side effects of Gu Die’s medicine.

Those who took his medicine were essentially drinking poison to quench their thirst.

Baili Rui was a poison-making doctor, but when he saw the results, he couldn’t help feeling disgusted with Gu Die.

“Perhaps she didn’t mean it. After all, not everyone has such profound knowledge in the art of poison.”

Compared with Baili Rui, Lin Mengya was much calmer.

She had combined the knowledge of poison from her teacher with the modern techniques she possessed so that she was able to achieve such a result.

With Gu Die’s medical skill, it would be impossible to speculate about such serious complications.

Perhaps Lin Mengya didn’t know much about other things, but at the very least, she knew Gu Die didn’t seem to be the kind of person who didn’t care about the lives of others.

“Don’t come out to harm others if you don’t have good medical skills. Humph, don’t I know what kind of people they are? Once the poison spreads in the future, they might put the blame on our Poison-making Doctors. Thirty years ago, they did this.”

Lin Mengya had felt that it was a little strange in the past.

The teacher’s temper was a little weird, but to be honest, he was not unreasonable.

However, he would always inexplicably target those orthodox doctors, especially the ones from aristocratic families.

For example, once she mentioned the Pavilion of Herbs to him, he scolded those elders and famous doctors harshly one by one.

Now she understood that there seemed to be some kind of grudge held by them in the past.

“What happened 30 years ago?”

Baili Rui didn’t avoid Lin Mengya’s question this time. On the contrary, he sighed and sat opposite her.

He began to tell Lin Mengya about what had happened in the past.

“Although our doctors’ sects are not divided as strongly as other sects, there are differences between them. Nowadays, many people think that poisonous techniques originated from the Lieyun Empire and the medical skills originated from the Nation of Lintian. These are just rumors. According to my family’s records, poison and medical skills were actually both passed down from ancient countries. However, because of their differences, it was split up into the Pavilion of Herbs in Lintian and the Black Spirit Academy in Lieyun. However, the inheritance of our poison skills should be from the Poison Sect.”

Poison Sect? This was a new name to Lin Mengya.

She subconsciously checked the music score for green-stringed instruments and found that there was no record of the Poison Sect.

She couldn’t help but focus on listening to her teacher’s words.

With Baili Rui’s pride, he actually had a pious look on his face when he spoke the name “Poison Sect”.

Lin Mengya couldn’t help but feel curious.

“It is said that the Poison Sect originated from the Ancient Tang Empire and was founded by an extraordinary person. There were a total of 76 books on poison skills, which covered almost all the records of poison. The records of poison passed down through our later generations all came from this. However, for some reason, the Ancient Tang Empire was destroyed and the Poison Sect disappeared in front of everyone. Although that’s the case, the poison techniques were not lost. It’s just that the poison techniques did not have a good reputation at that time, so most of the poison masters gathered in Lieyun.”

Lin Mengya nodded. In fact, this kind of situation had also happened in modern times.

However, it was a pity that the Poison Sect had disappeared just like that.

Baili Rui suddenly had a look of disdain on his face when he changed the topic.

Then, he began to talk about what had happened more than 30 years ago.

“Originally, the successors of poison and medical skills would compete with each other every ten years. The method of competition was very simple. Detoxify the other side’s poison. If people from medical backgrounds could not unravel our poison, they would lose. On the surface, it seemed that we were at an advantage, but you know all the drugs in the world have some way of being counteracted. When a new poison is created, an antidote will also be born. Therefore, the heir of poison always won more and lost less. However, 30 years ago, my father’s best friend got a rare poisonous flower. Its stamen was poisonous, but the petals were its antidote. The petals were also poisonous, but the stem was the antidote. The stem was also poisonous, but the root of it could be the antidote. Such a strange flower was very rare, so my father’s good friend searched the world and almost got all of this kind of poisonous flower. We were sure to win that year, but who knew that there would be a plague?”

The plot sounded very familiar to Lin Mengya.

Only the symptoms of the plague were similar to the symptoms of being poisoned by that strange flower.

Those famous doctors who claimed to be the medical experts had tried to detoxify people everywhere. However, they had done it wrongly, which had led to the deaths of most patients.

Therefore, to avoid responsibility, as well as the disgrace of the poison’s successor, they had joined hands and pushed all the responsibilities to a senior.
