Wanbao Lady

Chapter 394 Mutton Fat Jade Medicine Pestle

Inside the inn.

The person in charge of receiving the three demons was a slightly plump, amiable-looking middle-aged man who called himself Xu Zhi.

After learning that the three monsters were disciples of Yu Du Shan, he was slightly surprised for a moment, and then he welcomed the three of them warmly.

"You three are honored guests. These three guest houses are all excellent. Please take a look."

Xu Zhi took the three monsters to the third floor and then pushed open one of the doors.

After a quick glance, the house was clean and tidy, and it was obvious that it had been recently cleaned. All the necessary utensils were complete, and the materials used were exquisite, which showed that the owner had put a lot of effort into it.

The three demons nodded secretly.

"But Master Xu, we only need two rooms. The extra rooms should be left to the other Taoist friends."

Kong Qin said.

Hearing this, Xu Zhi looked at the three of them, especially at the two monsters Kong Qin and Kong Se, then slapped his head and nodded repeatedly.

"Master Xu, why don't you see anyone else?"

"Oh, that's right. Before the three of you came, a group of disciples from a sect had already moved in. They were from the Longzhou Baicao Sect. But early this morning, they all left together, saying that they were going to see the people and cattle and sheep on the Tulu grassland in the north of Mengze Prefecture."

Having said that, Xu Zhi's smiling expression faded slightly, and there was a hint of sadness between his brows.

Bai Jing's mind moved, and he couldn't help but ask: "Look at the postmaster's expression, what happened there?"

"Oh." Xu Zhi nodded.

"To be honest, before the court issued the letter seeking talents, a large number of cattle and sheep died in the grasslands of Yongzhou due to months of wind, rain and severe cold. Once these creatures died, it was easy for the plague to spread, not only to other cattle and sheep, but also to the local people. Fortunately, the court sent a group of doctors in time, so that a greater disaster was not caused."

As he said this, the expression on his face became increasingly unsightly.

"Just about five days ago, we discovered that the plague was showing signs of resurgence! Even the doctors stationed there could be infected if they were not careful! No matter how many clothes or blankets a person wore, they would become stiff and cold and die in just three days. The doctors believed that it was a mutation of the plague caused by the disorder of spiritual energy, so they called it the 'spiritual cold plague'."

"The Tulu Grassland is the largest grassland in my Mengze Prefecture, and it was inevitably affected by this plague. Last night, the disciples of Baicao Sect heard me talk about this matter, so they all set out early this morning."

Now, how could the three demons have any mood to rest?

Just as I was about to look for the place according to the map, I saw a group of monks wearing the same green robes supporting a young woman in, looking extremely panicked.

"Big sister, you have to hold on!"

"Big sister..."

The woman's face was pale and she was emitting cold air all over, as if she had just been pulled out of an ice cave.

Even so, she was still shaking her head slightly, saying things like "no problem" and "I'll be fine after practicing the technique for a while".

Seeing this, Bai Jing hurried forward and asked, "What happened?"

Hearing this, the Baicao Sect disciples turned around and saw that there were other people in the inn. Although they didn't know which sect they were from, they still talked about the matter.

It turned out that they started to take action as soon as they entered the Tulu Prairie, either asking the local doctors or visiting the patients in person.

Those infected were isolated according to the severity of their illness.

After understanding the situation, the Baicao Sect disciples either researched prescriptions or used magic to personally treat the patient.

"We were all going well, but it just rained heavily. The people who were infected seemed to be in a worse condition because of the rain, and several seriously ill people died on the spot. The eldest sister couldn't bear to see this, so she used our sect's secret method to absorb the disease energy from the seriously ill people into her own body."

A young female cultivator cried.

"Thirty-seven people! Senior Sister has absorbed the sickness of thirty-seven people, wuwuwu."

Hearing this, everyone was moved.

However, the weak female cultivator, whose face was clearly pale, still waved her hands and whispered, "With my cultivation level, it won't be a problem."

Seeing this, the three demons were even more impressed.

"Quick, help this fellow Taoist into the house. I also know a little bit about medicine. Let's see if I can help this fellow Taoist get better as soon as possible."

All the disciples of Baicao Sect immediately looked at Bai Jing who was speaking.

Xu Zhi hurriedly stepped forward and explained the identities of the three to everyone, and the suspicion in the eyes of the Baicao Sect disciples was alleviated a lot.

After helping the person lie down on the bed, the disciples of Baicao Sect saw the woman in white practicing her internal energy and carefully checking the physical condition of their senior sister. Then there was a flash of light, and a mutton-fat jade pestle and a medicine bowl appeared in her hands.

The woman in white placed the medicine bowl on the table, then took out a few elixirs from her storage ring. She pestled it with the pestle in her hand while continuously throwing herbs into the bowl. Her technique was dazzling to watch.

The fresh medicinal fragrance immediately filled the entire room.

At the same time, everyone also discovered that as the woman pounded the medicine, the mutton-fat jade pestle emitted a faint glow, and from time to time some white spots of light fell into the medicine bowl.

It didn't take long for all the herbs to be crushed into powder by the woman. But even though so many spiritual herbs were thrown in, only a thin layer of powder came out in the end.

The woman waved her hand, and the teapot on the table automatically poured a bowl of water into it. All the medicinal powder also flew into the clear water under the woman's spell.

The originally colorless water suddenly turned reddish brown.

"Let me feed the senior sister!"

A young male cultivator volunteered.

However, under the kind looks of several senior and junior sisters, she finally put down her arms weakly.

"I'll do it."

A round-faced female cultivator volunteered.

After drinking a bowl of medicine, the face of the female cultivator on the bed immediately turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a while, he was able to get out of bed by himself.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist! My name is Shangguan Xi, and I am the chief disciple of the master of Longzhou Baicao Sect. What's your name?"

Shangguan Xi bowed solemnly.

"Qingzhou Yudu Mountain, Bai Jing."

Because of this incident, the two parties who had never met before became familiar with each other.

Some people even looked at the pestle in Bai Jing's hand with curiosity on their faces.

"Sister Bai, your medicine pestle is so powerful! It can even emit spiritual light!"

Bai Jing smiled slightly, gently touched the warm pestle in her hand, and a warm look flashed in her eyes.

"This sheep-fat jade pestle was given to me by my queen. It has the effect of extracting essence, combing medicinal qi, and enhancing medicinal strength. The queen once said that she gave it to me because she wanted me to protect myself and the important people around me."

Hearing this, the round-faced female cultivator exclaimed in amazement.

"Then your queen must be an extremely good person."

"Yes." The three demons nodded in unison.

"By the way, regarding the plague, did you find anything when you went there today?"

Shangguan Xi nodded.

"We have checked and found that this 'Spiritual Cold Plague' is indeed very likely a variant of the plague caused by disordered spiritual energy. Its symptoms are very similar to a case recorded in our ancient books that I have read before."

"Oh?"

Everyone immediately became interested and looked delighted.

Shangguan Xi frowned slightly, "It's just that one of the magical herbs for treating this disease is called Shuang Lingcao. I heard that it is only found in the northern barbarian land."

The smiles on everyone's faces froze in an instant.
