In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 322: The Poisoned Child

"You wish!" Yue Mingxuan said sharply. "Silver Needle Sect is still Silver Needle Sect. You can’t just take it over!"

He added firmly, "The property of Silver Needle Sect has nothing to do with you, Shang Qinghua!"

Shang Qinghua only smiled and pulled him closer again.

"If you can’t repay with money, then using something else to repay would also be fine."

For a moment, Yue Mingxuan did not understand what he meant.

But when he realized it, he quickly pushed Shang Qinghua away.

"Shameless!"

Shang Qinghua laughed.

This man was becoming more and more interesting.

But no matter how interesting he was, he still belonged to him.

No one else could take him away.

"Other than this method, do the people of Silver Needle Sect really have no other ideas?" Shang Qinghua raised an eyebrow.

If it were only a test of medical skills, then it would not be a big problem.

What he feared was that there might be people within the sect with bad intentions.

"Since it was proposed by the elders of Silver Needle Sect, there shouldn’t be any problem," Yue Mingxuan said, shaking his head.

He still trusted those old men.

Whenever he thought of the elders far away in Beirong, his heart felt warm.

Those elders had truly treated him like family and always thought of his well-being.

It was just a pity that after coming to Xishang this time, he did not know when he would be able to return to Beirong.

Perhaps, the next time they met, those elders might not even recognize him anymore.

The next day, when Yue Mingxuan went out, he saw a child collapsed at the entrance.

The child’s face was dark as if he had been poisoned.

Yue Mingxuan quickly stepped forward, but then realized that the poison seemed to be highly contagious.

"If I approach rashly, I might also be poisoned. But I can’t just watch this child suffer here..." Yue Mingxuan felt anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.

But what could he do?

He suddenly remembered the pair of golden silk gloves Gongsun Xing had.

He quickly put them on and checked the child’s pulse.

It was already very weak.

He carefully observed the child’s condition.

It looked like corpse poison.

But in Silver Needle Sect, how could there be corpse poison?

Could it be related to Gongsun Xing’s father?

After death, a body would produce corpse poison.

To treat this kind of poison, glutinous rice should be used to detoxify it.

This was common knowledge.

But where could he find glutinous rice right now?

He looked around, then picked the child up.

It was very light.

He silently circulated his inner energy and quickly carried the child to the area used for treating patients.

He noted to himself that the place would need to be disinfected with lime water afterward.

Then he rushed into the back kitchen of Silver Needle Sect.

By coincidence, he found a pile of glutinous rice on the table as if it had been prepared in advance.

He did not have time to think too much.

He quickly tested it with a silver needle and confirmed that it was safe to use.

Without delay, he fed the glutinous rice to the child.

The corpse poison was extremely dangerous.

He had no idea how this child had been infected.

However, glutinous rice could only drive away the harmful energy.

To completely remove the corpse poison, other methods would still be needed.

Although Yue Mingxuan was anxious, he still had his own ideas in mind.

Glutinous rice could be used as an emergency measure, but it could not be relied on completely.

If he truly wanted to remove the corpse poison entirely, he would have to use other methods.

In this era, antibiotics had not yet been overused and bacteria had not developed strong resistance to them.

He remembered something called penicillin, so he began searching everywhere for anything that had mold on it.

Although there were no clear records, Yue Mingxuan still remembered that penicillin could be found in moldy substances.

The situation was urgent and he had to find it as quickly as possible.

Even though the environment in Silver Needle Sect was well maintained and moldy items were rare, he still managed to find a small piece of moldy steamed bun.

Without hesitation, he fed it to the child.

Only then did he clearly see the child’s face.

The child looked to be about six or seven years old and did not seem to be from Silver Needle Sect.

When he saw the child slowly waking up, he quickly asked, "How do you feel now?"

The child shook his head, then nodded.

He looked very weak as if he had just gone through something extremely terrifying.

Yue Mingxuan felt a bit of pity and gently touched the child’s forehead. "It’s alright now. You’re safe."

The child did not speak.

He simply lay on the bed, his eyes dull and lifeless.

Seeing this, Yue Mingxuan felt puzzled and asked, "What happened to you?"

"Plague... plague. Everyone died. I ran away. No one wants me," the child said as he shake his head weakly.

Hearing this, Yue Mingxuan was shocked.

A plague had broken out in Xishang Kingdom?!

In this era, human life was very fragile.

A plague was one of the most terrifying disasters.

It could leave most people homeless and spread fear among those who remained.

However, judging from the poison in the child’s body, it seemed to be corpse poison.

Could it have been caused by some kind of corpse?

Yue Mingxuan could not come to a conclusion for the moment.

Although the penicillin had some effect earlier, he had been too anxious and had fed all of it to the child at once.

He quickly went to find Gongsun Xing to discuss what to do next.

After listening to Yue Mingxuan’s explanation, Gongsun Xing asked, "How did you know that mold could treat corpse poison?"

Yue Mingxuan scratched his head.
