However, Su Qian quickly took a deep breath and patiently continued, “Therefore, I remember the antidote formula for this Bone Eroding Toxic very clearly. I’m afraid I’ll never forget it for the rest of my life. Naturally, it’s a piece of cake for me to concoct it.”
Xiao Yan nodded when he heard that. “I see.”
“Instead of standing there doing nothing, why not come over and help me grind the herbs?” Su Qian beckoned to Xiao Yan, naturally ordering the Ninth Prince to work as a laborer. He earnestly helped her grind the herbs.
Xiao Yan was very cooperative as he started to grind the herbs seriously.
A moment later, Su Qian placed the ground herbs into the medicine pot and began to boil the medicine. After boiling the medicine, she poured it into individual bowls with the herb powder.
Then, she called Qing Zhu over to help. Su Qian placed all the antidotes on a tray in one go. The three of them each carried a tray and went to the next room. Then, they handed out a bowl of antidote soup to each of them.
“Stir the herbal residue in the soup evenly and drink it in one go. Remember, don’t waste it,” Su Qian warned seriously.
When the chefs heard this, they couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. Immediately, they looked at the soup Su Qian handed to them uneasily, and they were all so scared that their shoulders trembled.
For a moment, everyone thought that what was in the bowl might be another toxicant instead of the antidote.
The pitch-black medicinal soup looked even darker than ink. As they gently stirred it with their spoons, the powdered medicine at the bottom produced a bubbling sound. This frightened everyone, leaving them with ashen faces as they trembled and looked at Su Qian.
Su Qian raised her eyebrows and said with a sharp expression, “Finish it. Don’t leave a single drop behind.”
After everyone heard this, they made up their minds and closed their eyes.
They gulped down the medicinal soup in one breath.
When Qing Zhu saw this scene, he was so frightened that the muscles at the corners of his lips involuntarily twitched.
He couldn’t bear to imagine how terrible the taste of the medicinal soup must be.
However, after the chefs gritted their teeth, drank the medicinal soup in one go, and took a moment to savor it, they were surprised to find that the taste of the medicinal soup was actually a little sweet. It was unexpectedly delicious.
Su Qian wasn’t surprised to see this. “My daughter doesn’t like to drink bitter medicine, so I thought of a way to improve the taste of the medicine. Although the color of the medicine looked a little scary, it still tasted good.”
The people, not fully satisfied but licking their lips, were about to nod in agreement with Su Qian when, unexpectedly, they didn’t even have a chance to hum. One by one, their faces suddenly flushed, turning into a strange shade of bluish-purple, and then, thud, thud, thud, they all collapsed onto the bed.
They broke out in a cold sweat all over their bodies. Initially fine, these people had transformed into a state of near death just after drinking the medicine.
“Elder Su, what’s going on?” Qing Zhu panicked and looked at Su Qian at a loss as he asked.
“Don’t be afraid. Just release the acupoints sealed on their bodies.” After saying this, Su Qian went forward and first released the acupuncture point of one person.
“Pfft!” After the apprentice’s acupuncture points were unsealed, he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of stinky poisonous blood. Although he fell weakly onto the bed, the pustules on his body quickly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The three of them quickly went forward and released the acupuncture points of the others..
