Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 808 - 301: Yun Sheng’s Discovery

Before entering the Taoyuan Ruins, one faction had already withdrawn, and only the Mainland Elite Camp, Hou Qin, and Wuji remained. Sky Wings, Xianju, Great Zhou, Hunter Soldier Union, Magic Temple, Medicine Emperor Pavilion, and Tang Yuan, the Six Great Forces.

On the second night, Yun Sheng took out some food from the Beast Language Ring and had a simple meal.

Due to the cold night wind, Senior Sister Lan told Qi and several male mages to gather firewood for warmth.

"It’s already the second day, if we drag it on further, our food and water will run out. Tomorrow, no matter what, I will give it a try," Lan had already grown impatient after days of waiting. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Earlier she wanted to try, but was stopped by Yun Sheng and Qi.

"Senior Sister Lan, better not to be reckless," Yun Sheng advised.

At this time, Qi had already gathered some firewood, starting a fire beside Yun Sheng and Lan.

"This fire is nice, Little Wildcat, make some room for this king," Ye Beiming crossed his long legs, squeezing next to Yun Sheng.

Yun Sheng rolled her eyes, there was plenty of space around, Ye Beiming insisted on squeezing beside her.

Qi was stirring the fire, and when Ye Beiming sat down, the firewood in Qi’s hand shook, sending a spark flying, landing on Ye Beiming.

Ye Beiming saw it, raised an eyebrow in displeasure.

This kid clearly was looking for trouble.

"It’s freezing cold, I don’t mind if I, the Crown Prince, join for warmth," just then, Dugu Xiu also intruded.

With Dugu Xiu joining, Lady Chi Bi was not to be outdone and joined them.

In front of the small campfire, it suddenly crowded with five or six people, except for Yun Sheng and Lan, the others’ expressions were strange, filled with hostility, like a group of hedgehogs crowded together.

The atmosphere suddenly became peculiar.

The fire grew brighter, and a peculiar fragrance wafted out.

"Eh, what smell is that, Ye Hu, from you?" Yun Sheng wrinkled her nose, her manner was like a little cat, which amused Ye Beiming.

"It’s the smell of the firewood, this area is near the sea, the firewood is very damp, so I simply cut down some trees," Qi explained.

By the light of the fire, Yun Sheng noticed a pile of still green-tinged wood beside Qi.

Seeing the shape of the leaves, Yun Sheng jumped up as if a fire was lit under her.

"Senior Sister, let’s go take a look ahead."

Lan and Yun Sheng hurriedly walked away.

Around the campfire, the three men continued to stare at each other.

After about 15 minutes, Yun Sheng and Lan returned, their eyes were shining brightly.

"Found it, I think I have discovered the reason behind the curse at the Sea and Sky line, and it’s because of these leaves. We’ve all been poisoned," Yun Sheng said, taking out a bunch of leaves.

"Are you saying these leaves are poisonous?" Qi and Lady Chi Bi both frowned.

"It’s impossible, these leaves are not poisonous at all," Qi and Lady Chi Bi adamantly insisted.

Qi and Lady Chi Bi were considered experts in poison usage, both were not only skilled with poison but also highly sensitive to it.

They had thoroughly read the continent’s manuals on poisonous herbs and toxins, clearly remembering nothing recorded about these leaves.

Both had carefully examined when entering Taiyuan Mountain, finding no poisonous herbs or gases, their bodies showed no signs of poisoning along the way.

"That’s because the gas released by these leaves is not even considered poison, it can only be described as miasma, which when inhaled causes unsuspected poisoning. Staying long-term can lead to intoxication and even mental confusion," Yun Sheng, as a doctor, had learned a lot about poisons and medicinal herbs since arriving at Wuji Continent.

Though she indeed had never read about the properties of these trees growing in Taiyuan Mountain.

These trees were not found elsewhere on the continent, seemingly only growing at Taiyuan Mountain.

Yun Sheng could recognize these special trees thanks to a memory from her past life.

While studying at Medical University, she had a friend named Xiao Xue. After graduating, Yun Sheng inherited a small clinic, while Xiao Xue went to Australia.

Once, when Xiao Xue called from overseas, she complained that since moving to Australia, she felt lazier.

Because Australia grew many eucalyptus trees which emitted a peculiar stimulating aroma, making people lethargic and sleepy.

It was just now Yun Sheng realized the similarity between these tree leaves and Australian eucalyptus.

So she’d called on Senior Sister Lan to verify.

Upon inspection, they found Taiyuan Mountain mostly grew trees resembling a variant of eucalyptus, and Yun Sheng promptly named them Taiyuan Eucalyptus.

Though unsure if Penglai Prince Taiyuan deliberately planted these Taiyuan Eucalyptus trees, Yun Sheng was sure their scent could induce hallucinations in people and demon beasts, ultimately causing ’curses’.

"Once the antidote is taken, neutralizing the toxin, one could pass through the Sea and Sky line," Yun Sheng said, mysteriously pulling out several elixir bottles.

Yun Sheng’s words left others skeptical.

"Believe it or not, but I do," Ye Beiming supported Yun Sheng, and without hesitation, took a bottle.

"We trust Yun Sheng too," echoed the people of the Mainland Elite Camp.

Lan stepped forward and took one bottle.

Dugu Xiu took a deep look at Yun Sheng, just about to speak.

"If it’s like you say, why didn’t the child from the village chief’s tale get poisoned when passing through this Taiyuan Eucalyptus forest?" Lady Chi Bi questioned.

She couldn’t stand these people, each with eyes only for Yun Sheng.

To her, they seemed under a spell, all under a kind of ’Yun Sheng’ curse.

"Because children are shorter in height, the Taiyuan Eucalyptus plants grow higher up, when the wind blows, at most, only some scent descends. Adults are affected, but the risk to children is greatly reduced," Yun Sheng explained, gesturing at a height below one meter.

Eucalyptus gases are lighter, plus the direction of the sea wind, most float above one meter.

An adult inhales excessive Taiyuan Eucalyptus scent, progressing forwards, arriving at ’Sea and Sky’, toxin releases and sensory consciousness blurs, falling into the sea.

This explains why the child spoke by the village chief could enter the ruins, but others could not.

Earlier villagers who failed to return from Taoyuan Ruins were likely poisoned by Taiyuan Eucalyptus.

Miasma is a chronic gaseous toxin, initially harmless, but over time affects visual nerves and slows bodily reactions.

"Nonsense," Lady Chi Bi still refused to believe Yun Sheng.

"Chi Bi, shut up," Dugu Xiu reprimanded.

Dugu Xiu studied Yun Sheng, the latter maintained a calm face, expressing indifferent belief.
