Chapter 171 Leave Now

Although Jiang Lisheng understood it in his heart, he still felt uncomfortable when he saw the people who were testing the medicine falling down one by one.

Even if what Xi Jili said was right, she still felt this pain.

Chu Bitumen reached out and patted Jiang Lisheng on the shoulder. "Ji Li is right. I have practiced medicine for three hundred years and have been a pharmacist for three hundred years, but I still can't do anything about this poison. If it weren't for your special spiritual power, even Pei Rong wouldn't be saved."

Jiang Lisheng pursed his lips and said nothing.

Chu Bitumen added: "If you hadn't found a way to save them, when the time came, once the city was burned down, they would have died, which would not be much better than dying from drug testing now."

Jiang Lisheng loosened his clenched hands, "I know."

She tried to mobilize the spiritual power in her soul palace, but it was still empty. She was unwilling to give up, so she continued to mobilize it for a long time, until the men who went to the toilet came back, she still could not mobilize a single bit of spiritual power.

The leading man had already exhausted much of his strength. "Girl, I feel much more relaxed. Can you see if my poison has been relieved a little?"

Jiang Lisheng saw it clearly at a glance, and she shook her head, "I don't understand it at all."

The man was not disappointed when he heard this, "Is that so? I'm almost dead, but there's no solution. Shall we continue?"

Jiang Lisheng reminded him, "More than half of the people are dead."

"If we die, we die." The man was very open-minded and said, "We are not afraid, so why are you afraid, girl? If we sacrifice some of us to test the medicine and save the lives of the people in the whole city, it will be worth it."

Jiang Lisheng nodded and continued to try the next bottle of medicine.

Of the half of the people left, a few died. The rest who were not dead drank the medicine and lay on the ground, without much strength left.

The man tried his best to stand up, "I'll go and call some more people to try for the girl."

A moment later, he really called over another group of people, all of whom had a fearless look on their faces.

Even Chu Bitumen was somewhat touched. He had been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years and although he had compassion for the common people, he knew in his heart that the life of a mortal was only a blink of an eye. In his opinion, even if they were saved, they would only live for a few decades or even less, because most of these people were severely corroded by the poison, and the life of a mortal was fragile. If their internal organs were damaged, they would not live long even if the poison was removed. They were not Pei Rong, who could have their spiritual roots and bones reshaped by Jiang Lisheng. The reason why he agreed was just to give Jiang Lisheng peace of mind, but now, he was deeply shocked.

"Sister, let me do it." Xi Jili pushed Jiang Lisheng aside. "I'll test the medicine on them. You go and discuss with Uncle Yu from Kunlun. The time to order the burning of the city is approaching. Can you discuss what to do?"

Jiang Lisheng shook his head. "What can they do to us? Even if they burn the city, they can't do anything to us. Don't worry about it."

She didn't leave, "I made the medicine, I want to try it myself."

Xi Jili had no choice but to watch her endure the pain and continue to test the medicine on these people. He saw with his own eyes these people fall down one after another in front of her. After trying seven or eight bottles of medicine, the man in the lead who shouted that he was not afraid also fell down.

Jiang Lisheng pushed Xi Jili, "Junior brother, give him some spiritual power."

Xi Jili whispered, "Senior Sister, it's useless."

Jiang Lisheng also knew it was useless, but this man had been determined to follow her in testing the drugs. All the people who had tested the drugs with him had died long ago, but he had been there all the time. Until now, he finally collapsed. She felt extremely distressed and wanted to save him.

"Miss Jiang, don't feel bad. I wanted to kill myself three days ago. Keep trying. Maybe your medicine will work with the next bottle." The man spoke incoherently, and finally said weakly, "My name is Li Erhu. Miss Jiang, don't forget your promise to send me to reincarnate..."

Jiang Lisheng nodded, "Don't worry." She took the blood from Li Erhu's finger and dripped it into the jade bottle. She saw him lower his hand and die.

"Senior Sister, you take a rest aside, let me do it?" Xi Jili said again.

Jiang Lisheng squatted on the ground, did not object this time, and nodded.

Xi Jili took over from Jiang Lisheng and continued to test the medicine on humans, bottle after bottle. He was much faster than Jiang Lisheng. After seeing that the poison did not subside after the humans drank the medicine, he changed to another one. Even though they fell down one by one in front of him, he could still keep an expressionless face.

Chu Bitumen looked at Xi Jili. It was natural for a cultivator to be like this, but he could not feel relieved.

Yu Congrong walked over, stretched out her hand and pulled Jiang Lisheng up. She had not expected that Sect Master Yu would teach his disciple to be so soft-hearted. For a cultivator, it was unclear whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

She couldn't comfort Jiang Lisheng. After all, the people of the entire South City were so miserable. Even though they were here, they knew clearly that everyone here was living in hell on earth.

"Uncle Yu." Jiang Lisheng stood up and called to her.

Yu nodded calmly.

Jiang Lisheng took the jade bottle in his hand and took out the soul-binding lamp from the storage ring, "Please help me collect Li Erhu's soul first."

She didn't have any spiritual power at all, and even though she had the Soul-Binding Lamp in her hand, she couldn't even capture a soul.

Yu Congrong did not say anything and activated his spiritual power, injecting it into the Soul-Binding Lamp. The Soul-Binding Lamp instantly started to spin. Jiang Lisheng dripped the blood from the jade bottle into the Soul-Binding Lamp. The Soul-Binding Lamp absorbed Li Erhu's blood and spun faster and faster. The dark fire became brighter and brighter. After a moment, it suddenly stopped and did not move. In a moment, the dark fire went out, and the whole lamp went dark, just like when he was collecting the souls of City Lord Pei and his wife.

Jiang Lisheng's expression changed instantly, "Li Erhu just died, it's impossible that we can't collect his soul."

Yu Congrong was startled, "Send a message immediately and ask Sect Master Yu again."

Jiang Lisheng took out the communication card and sent a message to Yu Wuchen, "Master, the soul-binding lamp can't receive the soul of a person who just died. What's going on?"

Yu Wuchen replied quickly, "What happened? Whose soul did you use the Soul Binding Lamp to capture again?"

"There is a commoner in Hexin City named Li Erhu. He just died. I want to capture his soul first and send him to reincarnation. I will use his own blood. The soul-binding lamp will go out just like when Pei Rong's blood was dripped into it." Jiang Lisheng briefly explained what happened. "Do you know why?"

Yu Wuchen immediately said, "Are you saving the people of Hexin City?"

"Ah."

"What else could it be? He just died, either his soul has been scattered, or he has been taken away by someone before you." Yu Wuchen's voice became deeper, "Have you rescued all those who were not infected with the poison? If so, you can't save the others who were infected with the poison, so leave now."

Jiang Lisheng tightly grasped the communication card, "Master, he just died, not even a cup of tea."

"That's why I asked you to leave." Yu Wuchen said sternly, "A person just died a few minutes ago, right in front of you, but the Soul-Binding Lamp can't catch his soul? Think about it, can you still stay in that place?"

Jiang Lisheng shut up.
