Chapter 141 Corruption
Jiang Lisheng only took a glance and felt very upset. You know, General Pei, who was so handsome when he rode on the street, has now become a barely recognizable human.
She took two quick steps, came to the bed, and pulled off the quilt covering him.
When the quilt was pulled aside, it was clear that there was not a single piece of healthy skin on the man, and even the clothes he was wearing were rotten and festered.
She reached out her hand to feel his breath. Half of his face and jaw were rotten and decayed. Only his nose still had a faint breath. It looked like he was hanging on for only one breath.
She withdrew her hand, took out the Soul-Restoring Pill, and asked Chu Bitumen, "Uncle Master, will the Soul-Restoring Pill still work for him in this state?"
"He was indeed injured by the evil spirit. Give it to him first!" Chu Bitumen didn't know whether the Soul-Restoring Pill would work, but at least before he studied the treatment, he had to give him the Soul-Restoring Pill first, otherwise he might die before tonight.
Jiang Lisheng nodded and fed Pei Rong the Soul-Restoring Pill, but Pei Rong was already unable to swallow anything, so he naturally couldn't swallow the pill. She reached out to pinch Pei Rong's chin, intending to forcefully feed him.
Xi Jili stepped forward and stretched out his hand to stop her, "Senior Sister, let me do it. The poison in his body is very strong, and ordinary people can't touch him."
"I'm not an ordinary person." Jiang Lisheng dodged his hand, "This poison is really strong, don't rush to grab it, let me do it."
Xi Jili could only take a step back and let her force the pill into Pei Rong's mouth. Her white fingertips were stained with the black and green dirt from the rotten part of his jaw.
Patriarch Yun's face changed drastically when he heard this. "Since I brought him back, several people have touched him. The doctor who treated him was a servant I arranged to wait on him in this courtyard. Since this poison cannot be touched, then... if they touch him, will something happen?"
"Yes." Chu Bitumen nodded at the side. "This poison is very strong. Ordinary people really can't touch it. But Li Sheng is right. She should be fine. She has eaten countless poison pills since she was a child. If she is not immune to all poisons, she is almost. As for others, I am afraid it won't work, especially ordinary people. Those who have taken close care of him also hope that Patriarch Yun will isolate him as soon as possible. After we find a way to save him, we will check one by one to see if the people in the mansion who have touched him have been infected with the poison. If they are infected, they must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise it may cause the whole mansion to be infected."
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Yun immediately said, "I will go right away. I'll trouble you, Immortal, to take care of the Pei family kid."
Chu Asphalt nodded, "Just go ahead, old man. Leave this to us."
Patriarch Yun hurried out.
After Jiang Lisheng fed Pei Rong the elixir, he stood up. Xi Jili reached out and took her hand, urged his spiritual power, and performed a cleansing spell on her. However, the poison was so strong that after one cleansing spell, there were still some residues on her fingers. He performed several cleansing spells on her in a row, but it was still not cleansed.
"It seems that the cleaning technique is useless." Jiang Lisheng took out a handkerchief, wiped his fingertips to remove the dirt, and threw the handkerchief to the ground, "Just burn it."
Xi Jili urged his spiritual power to wrap the handkerchief on the ground, and the handkerchief was burned in an instant. He raised his head and looked at Jiang Lisheng again, and continued to urge his spiritual power to wrap her fingertips, using the healing technique of a medical practitioner to cleanse her from the dust and poison.
Jiang Lisheng didn't feel anything. After wiping off the dirt, her fingertips were white and not corroded. She gestured to him, "Junior brother, I'm fine. Come and use your spiritual power to remove the poison from his body."
Xi Jili nodded and activated his spiritual power to wrap Pei Rong. After a moment, there was no change on Pei Rong's body. The rotten parts were still rotten. His detoxification technique did not work.
He changed his spells again, using several of them, but there was still no change. He frowned and looked at Chu Bitumen. Chu Bitumen had expected this, but he still made a move. His spells were more advanced, his spiritual power was more powerful, and his golden light was several levels stronger than Xi Jili's, wrapping Pei Rong's hair. But after a while, like Xi Jili, it didn't work.
After a long time, Chu Bitumen withdrew his hand and said to Jiang Lisheng: "This poison is extremely overbearing and has a strong yin energy. I can't do anything about it."
Jiang Lisheng pursed his lips, "Uncle Chu, is there no other way? What about the elixir? In addition to the Soul-Restoring Pill, are there any other elixirs that can work?"
She now had her own storage ring in her hand, containing countless pills.
"His heart meridians are stronger than before he took the Soul-Restoring Pill, which shows that the Soul-Restoring Pill is effective." Chu Bitumen said, "Other pills should also work. It shouldn't be a problem to save his life for the time being. But if the poison is not removed, he won't be able to survive for a few days."
Seeing that Jiang Lisheng didn't say anything, he glanced at Yu Congrong and Yunduan who had been silent beside him, and felt a little hesitant.
"Uncle Chu, just say it. Uncle Yu and Senior Brother Yun can be trusted." Jiang Lisheng could see that he had something to say.
Chu Bitumen thought of the domineering spiritual power in her spiritual palace, and could only say: "If you can still activate your spiritual power, your spiritual power is special, and the healing technique you use should be different from ours. This kind of powerful poison may not be able to withstand your spiritual power and be eliminated."
Jiang Lisheng also thought of it, but she was unsure, "I'll try."
She tried to mobilize her spiritual power, but after a while, her face turned blue. She couldn't mobilize the spiritual power in her spiritual palace at all and couldn't use it. She lowered her hands and said, "Uncle Master, I can't do it at the moment."
Chu Bitumen listened to her experience under the altar and knew that the situation in her spirit house was very complicated. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, there are still a few days left. Take your time."
Yu Congrong spoke up at this time: "What kind of poison is this? Can Senior Brother Chu tell what kind of demon has injured him? Is it a rotten demon? There is a kind of rotten demon in the demon world. Its teeth are extremely poisonous. Once you are bitten by it, your whole body will rot."
"Not sure. Not very likely." Chu Bitumen said, "If it was the poison of the Corruption Demon, Ji Li and I would be able to remove the poison. It would only take some effort. Unlike now, the healing technique has no effect at all."
He pondered, "I think it's the Yin Sha ghost poison from the ghost world. The Yin Sha ghost cultivates with the Yin energy from the Wangchuan River. If you are scratched by it, your whole body will rot and die." He gestured to a few people to look, "Although his body is rotten and there is no good place, you can still make out a few scratches."
Xi Jili said, "Master, could it be man-made? Evil cultivators would raise a kind of rotten corpse as a puppet, and manipulate this rotten corpse puppet to hurt people, causing this situation."
Chu Bitumen nodded, "That's also possible, so I'm not sure."
Yu Congrong said: "Brother Chu, please find a way to save his life first. I will report his situation to Sister Mo in Kunlun. Sister Mo has left the mountain and has been assigned by Qinglan to investigate this matter."
Chu Bitumen said, "I, Qingxu, have also sent Junior Sister Hua out of the mountain. I will also inform her about this matter. Let them investigate from these three directions first."
