People poisoned by *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* will not experience symptoms for a short period of time unless something triggers the toxicity in their bodies.

"What? Jade Coin Ling? Even the Imperial Hospital doesn't have this. How could this village possibly have such a precious medicinal herb?"

"Even if this herb could be found in this village, it wouldn't be enough to cause poisoning!"

"Miss, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

The doctors raised their own doubts, finding it hard to believe that the villagers had been poisoned by *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*.

Upon hearing Zhou Ruo's words, Zhao Jinzhong summoned Zheng Liangyi and the village chief to inquire about the situation in detail.

The village chief was deathly pale and looked like he wouldn't last much longer before collapsing.

The village chief said, "This is so strange, so very strange! Almost the entire village is like this. Little miracle doctor, why is this happening?"

Zhao Jinzhong: "Village chief, have you eaten anything unusual lately?"

The village chief struggled to recall, "No... I didn't eat anything special. It was just normal meals, all grown and raised by ourselves."

"Brother," Zhou Ruo whispered to Zhao Jinzhong, "Jade Coin Ling is very rare, and the villagers probably can't get it."

"Can't eat it? How can you get poisoned if you can't eat it?" Zhao Jinzhong asked疑惑地. "Breathing? Ruoruo, is there this kind of poison in the air?"

Zhou Ru shook her head.

That's true. If it were in the air, it would have spread long ago.

What caused the villagers to be poisoned en masse?

"Water...water...son, I want some water," an elderly woman from the village, who had been poisoned, said to her son in distress.

The son was also poisoned. He lay down next to the old woman, struggled to pick up the kettle, and gave the water to her.

Zhao Jinzhong frowned slightly and led Zhou Ru over.

The brother and sister approached the old woman, and Zhao Jinzhong took the water bottle she had just drunk from.

He picked up a bowl from the ground, poured the water out of the kettle, and handed it to Zhou Ruo.

"Ah! Brother, there's poison in this water from the jade coin vine!" Zhou Ruo exclaimed, pointing at the bowl of water.

Her voice attracted the attention of the doctors, and the village chief and Zheng Liangyi followed.

This water not only contains the poison of Jade Coin Poria, but also that strange thing.

Zhao Jinzhong took several more water jugs from the villagers, and Zhou Ruo noticed that they all contained the poison of Yu Qianling.

Zheng Liangyi seemed to understand somewhat, and he asked, "Young General, do you mean the water in the village is poisonous?"

Zhao Jinzhong: "Master Zheng, where does the villager get their drinking water from?"

"There's a reservoir at the west end of the village, and everyone in the village goes there to fetch water," Zheng Liangyi said.

Zhou Ruo: "Brother, I want to see the water in that reservoir."

Zhao Jinzhong nodded and ordered several guards to fetch water.

Then he turned to Zheng Liangyi and said, "Master Zheng, please take us into the village to see the water storage in the villagers' homes."

Zheng Liangyi quickly led the way, guiding Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo to the homes of several villagers near the village entrance.

The doctors held the bowl of water that Zhao Jinzhong had just poured out, and like Zhou Ruo, they smelled it and pondered it together.

"Tell me, how did Miss smell the jade coin ling in this water?"

"Yeah, yeah, how did you smell it? I can't smell anything!"

"I've lived this long, and I've never even seen what Yu Qianling looks like!"

"Ah! Right! I've only ever seen this name in medical books."

"Miss, at such a young age, you actually know about Jade Coin Ling, and not only do you know it, you can even distinguish it! Amazing! Truly amazing!"

Zhou Ruo followed Zhao Jinzhong to check the water in the homes of four or five villagers, and found that it contained the poison of Yu Qianling and that strange substance.

The guards quickly retrieved the water from the reservoir, and Zhou Ruo leaned closer to sense it, confirming, "It's poisonous."

It's not only poisonous, but it also has those strange things.

"As expected, the problem lies with the reservoir water!" the doctors exclaimed.

Just as the doctors were in shock, a villager cried out, "Doctor! Doctor, come quick! My father is dying!"

Everyone's attention was drawn back to that.

When Zhou Ruo went over to take a look, she found that the old man not only had poisoning, but also had other symptoms.

We need to detoxify first; everyone needs to understand it first.

Zhou Ruo took out the silver needles, thinking that this time the internal energy in her body would finally come in handy.

She tried to use only 10% of her spiritual power to channel the medicinal energy to the needle tip before applying acupuncture to the old man.

Not long after a silver needle was inserted into the old man's body, the dark color on his face slowly faded away.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the old man recovered, and the pain caused by the poisoning disappeared.

"Wow!" Zhou Ruo was pleasantly surprised; she hadn't realized that the effects of this pill were so powerful.

Unable to contain her excitement, Zhou Ruo gave acupuncture to more than a dozen villagers in a row.

The villagers who received acupuncture treatment were all detoxified and gradually recovered.

But when Zhao Jinzhong looked around, he saw a dense, dark mass of villagers waiting for detoxification.

If you were to give each baby a needle, how long would it take?

We need to think of a way, otherwise Zhou Ruo might faint from exhaustion after getting the acupuncture.

At this time, An Chang arrived at Xiaoyang Village with the medicinal herbs and supplies prepared by the Prince An's Mansion.

"How did it go? I brought half of the medicinal herbs from the Prince's mansion. How about that? Aren't I awesome?"

An Chang immediately tried to curry favor with Zhao Jinzhong.

Zhao Jinzhong patted An Chang on the shoulder and said, "You've worked hard."

An Chang was secretly pleased; Zhao Jinzhong's unusually good attitude made him feel secretly pleased.

But he wasn't satisfied yet, so he went to find Zhou Ruo, "Little sister Zhou Ruo, there are also your favorite fruits, don't you think your brother is awesome?"

"Medicinal herbs?" Zhou Ruo suddenly had a flash of inspiration, her eyes shining with hope. "Young Master An, take me to see them."

An Chang's smile froze the moment he heard Zhou Ruo call him "Prince An".

He followed behind Zhou Ruo and Zhao Jinzhong, muttering to himself, "Is it really that hard to call someone 'brother'?"

Zhou Ruo selected several qi-tonifying and blood-stasis-removing herbs from the medicinal materials she brought from the Prince's residence and had the doctor and guards grind them into powder together.

Zhao Jinzhong ordered Zheng Liangyi and several guards to bring over a large vat filled with water.

Zhou Ruo first eliminated the poison from the water in the vat, then added 20% of the elixir's energy to the ground medicine powder.

Then the powder was mixed into non-toxic water, and the soldiers fed it to the villagers one by one.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Ruo went to a reservoir with Zhao Jinzhong and the guards.

Similarly, the medicinal powder, imbued with the aura of a miraculous elixir, was sprinkled into the reservoir.

It's probably because the reservoir is too big and has too much water, so Zhou Ruo sensed that the medicinal powder wasn't effective enough.

So she drew a "poison-removing talisman" in the air above the reservoir to further cleanse the jade coin spirits from the water.

Perhaps Zhou Ruo's spiritual power was higher than when she last came to Little Sheep Village.

After the talisman was slapped into the water, she could sense that the strange thing in the water was moving as if it were affected by her spiritual power.

But Zhou Ruo no longer had the energy to think about what it was. She had used up a lot of spiritual energy to expel the poison and was now very sleepy.

Zhao Jinzhong took her back to the carriage, and after she ate two fruits, she fell asleep.
