Qin Mo pondered for a moment, then pinched a smear of powder with his fingers and was about to put it in his mouth.

Upon seeing this, Miao Jianyue's usually calm face showed a hint of panic, and she quickly grabbed his hand.

"Don't worry, I'm just trying it out," Qin Mo explained with a smile. "To find the antidote, you have to try it yourself. You can't guess the ingredients just by looking at the powder."

Ten minutes have passed since Night Raven and the others left, and the Medicine Warrior still hasn't moved. But Qin Mo can't be sure when it will receive the order to ignite the fire.

Although Qin Mo had already removed the medicinal powder and the heart's blood of the medicine warrior from the incense burner, Night Raven would definitely notice if the medicine warrior started moving.

Qin Mo grasped Miao Jianyue's wrist and said gently, "If you can refine a pill to counteract the poison of the Medicine Man, you can definitely save me. I believe in you. You believe in me too, okay? I will definitely save your father."

Miao Jianyue stared at him with her big eyes wide open, remaining silent for a long time.

But soon, she slowly let go of Lin Ye's hand, and without saying a word, she took out the things in her cloth bag, such as silver needles, and looked at Qin Mo nervously.

Qin Mo understood what she meant and smiled, "I'll leave the rest to you."

After saying that, Qin Mo tilted his head back and put the poison powder into his mouth...

The moment the powder entered his mouth, in addition to its bitterness, Qin Mo felt a cold, piercing, and numbing sensation spreading throughout his mouth.

This was a completely different experience from when he was infected by the blood of the Medicine Warrior.

There was no intense pain, but his brain felt a very strange, corrosive sensation.

This sensation spread rapidly along the meridians on the tip of his tongue, and in an instant it permeated his entire body.

Qin Mo swayed and almost fell to the ground.

Miao Jianyue rushed over to support him and immediately took out her silver needles to treat him, but he stopped her hand.

"Don't rush, I can still..."

Miao Jianyue's pretty face was all scrunched up with anxiety, but seeing that Qin Mo wouldn't let her do it, she obediently put down the silver needles.

"Good girl..." Qin Mo patted her head and gave her a somewhat bleak smile.

He felt unwell at that moment, as if countless fine needles were gripping his muscles, and a deep, cold sensation was seeping into his body through his bones.

My limbs became increasingly stiff and heavy, as if I didn't even have the strength to lift my hands.

This powder truly is a poison that can kill people.

Qin Mo had already sensed it; this was an extremely terrifying neurotoxin.

They gradually stripped people of their sanity, turning living people into puppets.

But that's not enough.

The poison of the drug can not only control the living, but also manipulate the dead.

Unless the heart of a dead person is crushed, they will continue to be manipulated.

Therefore, there must be something special about this medicine that poisons people!

Miao Jianyue, standing to the side, tensed up, her small hands gripping the silver needles tightly.

Those large eyes, which usually showed little emotion, were now filled with panic. They stared at Qin Mo without blinking, ready to strike at any moment.

Qin Mo gritted his teeth, his brow furrowing deeply as he forcefully suppressed the numbness that spread throughout his body.

His mind was still relatively clear at this moment. With his superhuman physique and internal strength, he was able to suppress the disordered meridians. Otherwise, the poison would have invaded his heart meridian and paralyzed his mind.

He bit the tip of his tongue to try and dispel the confusion in his mind.

"Nine Nether Vine, Bone-Stiffing Flower, Sleeping Heart Grass... and a cold root that suppresses qi and blood as an auxiliary medicine."

As Qin Mo read out the names of these herbs, Miao Jianyue reacted quickly and began to take notes rapidly.

I was afraid that if I missed even a second, I would misremember.

The taste of blood spread in Qin Mo's mouth, but he still felt it wasn't enough.

"Being able to control the dead isn't enough..."

"There's one ingredient left, it should be..."

Qin Mo's eyes flashed as she remembered what her third master had once told her: "The Bitter Vine is unique to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It can only grow in Medicine King Valley and cannot be artificially cultivated."

"This stuff has no other effect, but after you take it, it will stimulate the production of a maggot-like parasite in your body."

"Although this parasite has no brain, it can reproduce indefinitely until it completely takes over the body."

"When this thing inhabits a person, even a dead person can move around like a living person, except that they have no thoughts or consciousness."

"So, this weeping vine is less of a plant and more of a bacterium. When used to make Gu poison, it is one of the most difficult Gu poisons to cure in the world."

He abruptly raised his head and stared at Miao Jianyue: "It's bitter vine!"

Miao Jianyue paused, staring intently at him, her beautiful eyes lighting up.

It seems she knows what it is and should know how to solve it!

There were already signs of it, and Qin Mo didn't hesitate. He immediately called to Miao Jianyue, "Quick, suppress the poison in me first!"

At this moment, Qin Mo's limbs and bones had begun to go numb, and he was unable to administer acupuncture to himself.

Upon hearing Qin Mo's call, Miao Jianyue rushed forward without hesitation; she had been prepared all along.

Although she was young and seemed mentally unstable, her technique was quite steady!

Her slender fingers held the silver needles, her wrists turning slightly with fluid movements, clearly demonstrating the orthodox secret techniques of Medicine King Valley!

With a few swift movements, the needles landed precisely on several key acupoints on Qin Mo's shoulders, neck, chest, and meridians, effectively locking in the poison.

The silver needle pierced the body, its tip still trembling slightly.

The toxins that were originally running rampant in Qin Mo's body were forcibly cut off and locked in by her silver needles.

Qin Mo could feel the chill quickly subside, and his paralyzed limbs slowly regained feeling.

Even his somewhat confused mind instantly cleared up.

He stared at Miao Jianyue's technique, deeply moved: This must be the medical and poison genius that his second and third masters loved the most.

Back when he was in Blackrock Prison, although he was exceptionally talented, he was still frequently criticized by his third master.

Miao Jianyue, despite being neglected by her father, absent from home, and targeted by her stepmother, managed to perform acupuncture so steadily by relying on self-study of medical books and a little guidance from Chen Ling.

With this talent, he could definitely become a legendary healer!

Qin Mo also relaxed his body, letting Miao Jianyue do as she pleased.

Her mental disability also gave her absolute focus, making her completely oblivious to external distractions.

Just like Qin Mo's gaze at this moment, it had no effect on her whatsoever.

She carefully finished the last few stitches, then, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, looked at Qin Mo:

"The poison has been sealed off."

As she spoke, she held up one finger: "One day."

Qin Mo must be detoxified within a day, otherwise... it will be difficult to suppress the poison!
