Chapter 170 Testing Medicine
"Is it General Pei?"

"It's General Pei!"

"General Pei is still alive!"

"He's still alive!"

……

The people were no longer numb and depressed. Their eyes were shining with excitement and they rushed over.

Pei Rong had protection added by Chu Bitumen on his body. When the people rushed over, they were unable to touch him and were bounced away by the protection on his body.

Several people fell down, and everyone stopped in fear.

Pei Rong explained, "Those who practice Taoism are good at magic. Don't be afraid, you are not infected with the plague, but the evil spirit's corrupt poison. This poison is overbearing and powerful. Once you come into close contact with it, your whole body will fester and you will die. The immortal has added protection on me, so you can't touch me."

"General Pei, were you really rescued? Can we really be rescued?" someone asked.

Pei Rong nodded, "Yes, you see I am a good person now, am I not? As long as you believe in Miss Jiang, she will try her best to help you." He paused, "But there are too many people, and the cultivators are not omnipotent. It is easy for Miss Jiang to save me, but to save so many of you, she can only try her best. But you have hope of survival, which is better than nothing, right? Please believe me, believe in Miss Jiang, and try every method. It is better than waiting to die, isn't it?"

Everyone listened and thought it made sense, and they all looked at Jiang Lisheng.

Jiang Lisheng nodded, "As long as you believe in me, we will keep trying, maybe we can really save you."

She pointed at the bowl in front of her and said, "Everyone line up, one bowl per person, don't scramble, don't make a fuss, everyone has one."

The people looked at each other, walked over obediently, and lined up to drink.

Jiang Lisheng stuffed the spoon to Pei Rong, "You are responsible for serving them." He called Lu Shaoling, "Brother Lu, you are responsible for making sure they line up properly." He called Zhu Wenyin and stuffed the jade bottle and the pills to her, "Sister Zhu, you are responsible for adding water to the pot to dissolve the pills." He then instructed Lou Qianyi, "Little sister, you and the other sisters, if there are seriously ill patients who can't get up and can't line up, you will feed them the pills."

She arranged several people at once, and they all nodded and followed her instructions without saying a word.

After Jiang Lisheng finished giving the order, he looked at Yu Congrong again and said hesitantly: "Uncle Yu, you stay here and watch them. I want to find some people with Uncle Chu and Junior Brother to study and test the medicine. I'm afraid these pills can only prolong their lifespans for a while, but can't save people at all. I'll find some people who are not afraid of death to try the pills I made. Maybe they will really work."

If these ordinary low-level elixirs could save lives, Pei Rong would not have been dying by the time she arrived at the Yun family.

Yu nodded calmly, "Okay, just go."

Now that we have stopped here and want to save people, we must try every possible method.

Seeing Yu Congrong's agreement, Jiang Lisheng looked at Chu Bitumen and Xi Jili.

The two nodded to her.

The people had been tortured by corruption for many days, watching the people around them die one by one. The survivors heard that King Zhou had ordered the city to be burned down, and they had lost hope. Now that Jiang Lisheng and others had come to rescue them, hope was suddenly ignited in them. The instinct for survival made them want to hold on to these people who were saving them and the elixir in their hands, which they thought was life-saving.

Jiang Lisheng didn't look for it specifically. She found an open space not far away and announced that she wanted to test the medicine. Many people instantly rushed towards her.

Jiang Lisheng looked at the people surrounding her and explained the pros and cons. "The pills in my hand are different from the pill water that everyone is queuing up to drink. Although those pills can't eliminate the poison in you, they shouldn't kill you quickly. They can probably prolong your life. But the pills I want to test are poison pills. My current method is to try to use these poison pills to fight poison with poison. Since it's a test, maybe as soon as you drink the medicine in my hand, you will die immediately."

After she finished speaking, the crowd became very quiet.

After a while, a man said, "I'm not afraid of death!"

Then, someone next to him also said: "I am not afraid of death either."

"I'm not afraid either!" "Me too..."

……

Voices, loud and small, rose one after another in the crowd, all saying they were not afraid.

Jiang Lisheng didn't expect that they all said they were not afraid, and he was puzzled. "I'm not a god, I can only try. These medicines of mine are unbearable even for cultivators. If I try the medicine now, it might really kill people."

She wanted to know why they all said they were not afraid.

The man who spoke first looked to be in his thirties. One of his arms had rotted away due to the poison, but his eyes were still bright and dark. He spoke in a very rough tone, "We were poisoned by the evil spirit and thought we would not survive. We watched people we knew die every day. The court gave up on us, but you didn't. General Pei brought you here to save us. Even if it's a poisonous pill, I'll take it. Even if I die right away, I can test the medicine for my fellow villagers. It's better than waiting to die in vain."

"Yes, me too. This is the first time I've seen someone from the Immortal Sect in my life."

"Me too."

……

Jiang Lisheng understood and nodded, "Okay, if you die, I will collect your souls and send you to reincarnate. I will make sure you can find the way to the gates of hell and become a wandering ghost."

The man said cheerfully, "Okay, if I die, I will be a good man again in 18 years."

Jiang Lisheng was touched and said no more. He opened the storage ring and started to pick out her pills again. He picked out several kinds of pills and planned to try them for them first.

After being tested by her fellow disciples, these pills of hers were all failures, so they were not even given a name. Instead, the bottles were only marked with notes about who ate them and what the consequences were.

Nowadays, the lightest consequence of these pills is vomiting and diarrhea after taking them, while the worst is almost ruining one's cultivation and losing one's life.

Jiang Lisheng certainly wouldn't give the heaviest one to these people. She chose the lightest one and dissolved it in water for them to drink.

There were several people who were severely poisoned and fell down immediately after drinking it.

Everyone was shocked.

Jiang Lisheng didn't need to reach out to feel the breath of the fallen people to know that they were dead. She looked at the others in silence.

Fear was revealed on the faces of the others.

The man who said he was not afraid first was the least afraid. He held his stomach with a painful expression and said, "I want to go to the toilet."

Jiang Lisheng waved at him.

The man went immediately.

As soon as he left, several more people followed him with painful expressions on their faces and holding their stomachs.

Some of the remaining people could not hold on and fell down one after another, while others vomited continuously and fell to the ground after vomiting. In a short period of time, more than half of the people died.

Jiang Lisheng clenched his hands.

Xi Jili said softly, "Senior Sister, you did nothing wrong. Even my master has practiced medicine and prepared medicine for hundreds of years, but he still can't cure this poison. How can these ordinary people who have been poisoned by the poison be easily saved by the elixir you prepared?"

　Monthly ticket, huh?
