Qin Mu raised his brush and wrote down the spirit herbs and poisonous herbs he needed. The magistrate of Purple Chaste City came to visit him, but was held off by Hu Ling'er. ”Young master is not seeing any visitors for the next couple days.”
The magistrate was helpless and could only leave.
Si Yunxiang hurriedly contracted Si Family, asking it to inform the brothers of the cult to report to the emperor as soon as possible. She also had the elders in the cult to strictly choose the best experts of Five Demons Transferring Technique and send them over as soon as possible.
When Qin Mu handed over the prescription, Si Yunxiang realized that there were over a hundred types of herbs in it, and she had never seen or heard about many of them. ”These spirit herbs will probably be very difficult to find, so you will need to flip through all the medicine shops in the cities all over the empire in order to find them. It's going to take quite some time.”
Qin Mu let out a shaky breath and smiled. ”I gave God Bai Xi those couple days for us to find the herbs, and also to wait for the experts of the cult and the emperor to come. Otherwise, why would I have let him consider it for so long?”
Si Yunxiang sighed. ”As your enemy, they have to be careful not to choke on even rice when eating. I've already informed the sacred cult. Besides a few elders that who skilled in Five Demons Transferring Technique, the rest will come from Light Fingers Hall.”
”Light Fingers Hall?” Qin Mu stared blankly at her with a look of inquiry.
”Light fingers mean that they are thieves.” Si Yunxiang smiled and said, ”Thieves hold the majority in Light Fingers Hall. They usually steal from the rich, taking away the riches from the wealthy families over to us. However, they are usually working on small-scale things. Lately though, the emperor recruited them into the army to grab the enemy's rations, and many of them achieved meritorious services, so their official positions aren't shabby.”
”I see.” Qin Mu suddenly understood it and praised them, ”In every trade, a master will always appear. Even a thief can be promoted and gain wealth; I must tell this to Grandpa Cripple.”
Yet he was also worried. He didn't know what the situation was like on God Broken Mountain Range, where Cripple and the rest had intercepted the gods of High Heavens.
'With Grandpa Apothecary there, they should be fine.'
Even though he thought so, he still couldn't help worrying. Even though Apothecary could save the injured, it was still a battlefield of gods and devils. If they got killed, even Apothecary wouldn't be able to save them.
Si Yunxiang ordered the disciples of the cult to prepare the herbs while Qin Mu wrote down prescriptions to treat his own injuries. Hu Ling'er grabbed the herbs from the medicine shops in the city so his body could be nursed properly. After all, the life force exhausted by using Moon Ship was no small matter. If there was a way to replenish it, he would do all he could to do so.
After two-three days, Qin Mu felt much better. He then brought the divine flood dragon king and the bunch of flood dragons into the courtyard of Fragrance Well to ask, ”Senior Brother Bai Xi, would you like me to treat your injuries?”
”No need!” God Bai Xi said with alertness. ”A person who's skilled in medicine is naturally skilled in poison. If I consumed your medicine, I'm worried I wouldn't even know how I died!”
Qin Mu took a glance at his wounds and saw that they were no longer bleeding. However, there were many broken bones that made his appearance pretty miserable. ”If your leg is not treated soon, it will go lame and you will only be able to use one leg to walk. After two more days, the lame one will have to be sawed off. On top of that, the rot from your injury will slowly spread through the rest of your body which is fine for now. You will start to rot alive.”
God Bai Xi sneered at him. ”You are trying to scare me? I am a god, so how will my flesh and blood spoil? You used a moon to strike me and not a divine art. My flesh and blood won't spoil from an attack of brute strength!”
Qin Mu sighed. ”That moon is a treasure forged by a god during Founding Emperor Era, so how could it not have any divine art? That moon is also the supreme yin whose qi is the best at spoiling a person's corporeal body. Hiding a sickness for fear of treatment, never did I expect a magnificent god to be like this as well.” After he said that, he shook his sleeves and left.
God Bai Xi sneered over and over again.
Qin Mu walked out of the courtyard of Fragrance Well where Si Yunxiang had already prepared a portion of the spirit herbs. ”There are still some spirit herbs that haven't been found yet, but I have told the brothers of the cult to locate them as soon as possible. Once they are found, they will send them over on a fast ship.”
Qin Mu examined the spirit herbs and said, ”The herbs now still can't take his life, only one leg at most.”
Si Yunxiang jumped in shock and immediately asked in a whisper, ”What are you going to do with his leg?”
Qin Mu smiled and instructed her, ”Have everyone if the surroundings who has even the slightest external injury, even if it's just a prick from a needle, to leave. They have to get at least one mile away from Fragrance Well.”
”What if someone who got pricked by a needle doesn't leave?”
”That would be bad.” Qin Mu chose his herbs, his eyes focused solely on them. ”The place where they got pricked will first become a small hole which will slowly expand. In just four to six hours, the rot will spread throughout their whole body and their bones will suffer from necrosis.”
Si Yunxiang felt a chill run down her spine and hurried away.
Fragrance Well was a historical site so there weren't many people living around it. Si Yunxiang instructed the magistrate to just move all them away.
Qin Mu refined and brewed a medicine that was colorless and odorless, so it was extremely difficult to notice. After two days, God Bai Xi instructed someone to invite him over. Qin Mu sealed and put away the medicine he had refined into his taotie sack as backup. He returned to the courtyard of Fragrance Well and saw God Bai Xi sitting on the floor. The wound on his leg had already started to rot, and it was spreading upwards to the flesh which had been fine before.
”You laid your hands on me?” God Bai Xi stared intensely at him with his bright eyes and croaked, ”It must be something you did in the dark that my leg is spoiling so fast!”
Qin Mu went over to carefully examine it and shook his head. ”I said you were hiding a sickness for fear of treatment yet you didn't believe me. How could the moon of that Moon Ship be ordinary? You were injured by it, and if you had let me treat you earlier, you could have kept your leg, but now it's gone. The flesh and blood have already rotted, and the bone marrow is also dead. I can only saw this leg off to prevent it from continuing to spread the rot.”
