Chapter 156 Cold Jade Toad Ointment

"Tan Gong's ointment?" Lü Zhang looked in the direction A Zi was pointing, then nodded: "I'll go ask him for it."

Lu Zhang returned shortly after leaving and handed over a small white jade box.

He laughed and said, "I have not failed in my mission. However, Master Tan said that this medicine was made by him traveling to the far north and finally finding two rare treasures, the Frost Jade of the Far North and the Mysterious Ice Toad, as the main ingredients. He also added many other good medicines and put a lot of effort into making it. It is very effective in stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis, but it does not have the effect of detoxification."

Azi took it, opened it, smelled it, and smiled even more brightly: "Chief Lü, how could that old man know anything about the skills of our Xingxiu Sect? This medicine is very effective, but there's just too little of it."

Lu Zhang looked at Quan Guanqing and thought to himself that he was right; the poor fellow was covered in blisters, and this amount of ointment was indeed not enough.

Nodding, she went to fawn over Master Tan again, and returned after a long while, holding four jade boxes in her hand. Azi's eyes lit up, and she snatched them away, weighing them in her hand and saying, "Still not enough!"

Lu Zhang smiled wryly and said, "That's all we have. Master Tan was given six boxes in total, and now he only has half a box left to use."

After saying that, he glanced at Quan Guanqing and sighed, "Our gang owes Tan Gong and Tan Po a huge favor in order to save this bastard. If we still can't save him, then it's his own fate."

Azi sighed and said, "Alas, I'm only doing this because of my brother-in-law; otherwise, I wouldn't be willing to make such a losing deal."

He then told several of Quan Guanqing's close associates, "Go find some excrement, mix it with urine to make a thin paste, and force it down his throat."

Several close associates were stunned and couldn't believe their eyes.

Just then, Tan Gong, out of curiosity, came to see how A Zi used the Cold Jade Toad Ointment to treat the poison.

Hearing Azi's words, he agreed, saying, "Human excrement is also known as human excrement. It tastes bitter and cold and is non-toxic. It can clear heat, reduce fire, cool the blood, and detoxify various poisons. Su Gong, a famous physician in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a prescription called 'Coffin-Breaking Soup' in his book 'Newly Revised Materia Medica'. It is a treatment for sudden onset of various poisons and symptoms of fever and suffocation with fresh excrement soup."

Lü Zhang asked in surprise, "If it weren't for Master Tan's explanation, how would we know these things? And what's so special about human urine?"

Tan Gong spoke eloquently: "Human urine is also known as Reincarnation Wine or Rejuvenation Soup. It is salty, cold, and non-toxic. It can nourish yin, reduce fire, kill parasites, and detoxify. Hmm, the urine of a virgin boy is especially good!"

Lu Zhang sighed, "Master Tan is of advanced age and high moral character, skilled in medicine, so it's not surprising that he knows these things. This young lady is so young, yet she has such abilities. She truly deserves to be from a prestigious family!"

He then laughed and said, "Our Beggars' Sect may not have much else, but it has the most virgin boys. Where are the disciples of the Great Wisdom Branch? Quickly go and find excrement and urine to treat your branch leader."

In this desolate wilderness, where could one find excrement in such a hurry? Fortunately, although there was none in the fields, there was plenty in the stomachs of people.

The disciples of the Great Wisdom Branch were all eager to serve their leader, and they quickly selected eight outstanding young men who named themselves.

They are: Yang Da, Diao Chang, Bu She, Tie Gen, Ji Bada, Ji Bochang, Zhang Juji, and Li Bangying!

The eight young boys defecated and urinated, producing no less than ten pounds of antidote.

Azi stood far upwind, pinching her nose and shouting, "First, pour half of it into his stomach, then take off his clothes and smear the other half on those poisonous blisters. Use it to slap the dead birds. Medicine can cure those who are destined to die. If he is not meant to die, then he will not die."

The Beggars' Sect disciples around were stunned, thinking that this was the tone of a traveling healer. They wondered if the girl's method was reliable.
Azi didn't care what they thought. She ran straight back to Jiang Mingzhe's side and proudly showed off her treasure: "Big Ginger, look what I got! Everyone should share!"

Then he took out five small white jade boxes: "One box of large ginger, one box for me, and one box for my dear brother Duan Xiaoyu..."

She gave a box to Jiang Mingzhe, Duan Yu, and herself, then glanced at Mu Wanqing, who snorted coldly and turned her head away, too lazy to look at her smug face.

Azi said with a grin, "Since the wooden man doesn't like it, then I'll..."

She looked at Zhong Ling, who exclaimed with delight, "I want it! I like it!" A Zi made a face, "Even if I like it, I won't give it to you, you brat! The sister in the red dress, this is for you!"

After saying this, he handed over a jade box, but it was to A'Zhu.

A'Zhu asked in surprise, "For me?"

Azi nodded, took Azhu's hand, placed the jade box in her palm, and said with a smile, "Your sister is so beautiful. I liked you the moment I saw you."

Seeing her delicate features and bright eyes, A'Zhu felt an inexplicable fondness for her and said with a smile, "You are so talented, I like you even more now."

The two girls looked at each other and smiled, their appearances and expressions becoming even more similar. Duan Yu exclaimed in surprise, "No wonder I felt that Miss A Zhu looked familiar when I first saw her. She looks just like Sister A Zi. Hey, A Zhu, A Zi, even their names are very similar."

Abi said, "My name is similar to Azhu's!"

Duan Yu laughed and said, "Yes, yes, A Zhu and A Bi, the green leaves and red flowers reflect each other's brilliance, you two are just like that."

Azi's eyes sparkled, and she said with a grin, "My brother is smiling so foolishly, does he like this girl? Haha, your name is Abi, right? Sister, this is for you."

After saying that, he handed over a jade box.

She had a total of five boxes of ointment, and that was the end of the distribution.

Zhong Ling said angrily, "You're so mean, Zi Yatou! You don't even know these two women, yet you refuse to give them to me."

Azhu and Abi exchanged a glance and said in unison, "How about..."

Before she could finish speaking, Azi shouted, "Don't give it to her! Humph, that brat has been eyeing the big ginger all along. Does she think I don't know? One of these two older sisters is someone I liked at first sight, and the other is my future sister-in-law. I didn't know her before, but we'll be very close in the future."

Zhong Ling stomped her feet in anger. Duan Yu felt sorry for her and wanted to give her his box, but he was worried that Abi would think too much. Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a loud vomiting sound. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw Quan Guanqing stripped naked, covered in excrement, kneeling on the ground and vomiting violently. No one dared to approach within a radius of three zhang.

Ah Zi laughed heartily, "Oh my, this person is alive! Aren't my methods amazing?"

Lu Zhang strode over, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Young lady, you have excellent skills! Shouldn't we use Master Tan's elixir now?"

Azi exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't it a waste to give such good medicine to this stinky person? Let me tell you, the scorpion didn't bite him directly, it just swallowed a mouthful of venomous blood. Now that it's vomited it out, he probably won't die."

Lu Zhang was stunned, only then realizing that he had misunderstood. Azi's request for medicine from Master Tan was actually a pretext for collecting consultation fees.

He was caught between laughter and tears. As the acting leader of the Beggars' Sect, he couldn't very well argue with a little girl. He could only accept his bad luck and said with a wry smile, "I see. Then thank you for saving the life of our sect leader."

As soon as the words were spoken, a sinister voice came from the northwest corner: "Shameless Beggar Clan, you broke your promise and didn't show up. So you were sneaking around here. Hehehe, did you think you could escape this calamity just because we can't find you?"

Lu Zhang roared, "Who said we broke the contract? Our gang dealt with some gang affairs last night and is about to set off now. But since you're here, it saves us the trouble of running away. Good men shouldn't hide, so please show yourselves!"

Bai Shijing shouted in a deep voice, "The enemy is here! All branch leaders, proceed according to the previous arrangements!"

Each leader immediately directed his disciples to spread out their own fires, one in the east and one in the west. Everyone soaked the rags they had prepared beforehand and added a lot of dry firewood to the nearly extinguished fires, and soon the fires were blazing brightly.
