Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1149 - 209: Strange Poison

After days of traveling, it was Qin Xiaochuan who pulled the cart. When passing through the Transmission Array, unable to bring the cart, Qin Xiaochuan carried Huang Jun on his back.

Huang Jun was completely unconscious and unable to speak, and his face was as pale as gold paper, his lips a dark gold, looking very grim.

Ye Lingyue pondered for a moment. Listening to Qin Xiaochuan, it seemed this matter might be related to Luo Yi.

But just like the original Huang Jun, Ye Lingyue was puzzled as to why Luo Yi would appear in the Gold City.

All these mysteries probably could only be concluded once Huang Jun awoke.

During the treatment of Huang Jun, Ye Lingyue arranged with Si Xiaochun to set up accommodation and meals for the Fourth Senior Brother at the City Lord’s Mansion, letting him rest for a while.

Compared to Huang Jun’s injuries, Qin Xiaochuan’s constitution was much better.

His injuries were mostly external, with no real harm to his internal organs, and when Ye Lingyue first saw Qin Xiaochuan, she had to take a second look.

Because she discovered that in just a month’s time, Qin Xiaochuan’s cultivation had already broken through to the fifth layer of the Power of Reincarnation Gold.

Such progress, if it were in the Lonely Moon Sea, could take several years, or even close to a decade.

Not only was his cultivation improved, Ye Lingyue noticed a change in Qin Xiaochuan’s expression as well.

It seemed that during his time in the Gold City, Qin Xiaochuan had some kind of encounter.

Ye Lingyue decided to ask the Fourth Senior Brother in detail once Huang Jun woke up.

As soon as Qin Xiaochuan left, Ye Lingyue began to carefully examine Huang Jun.

"What are these things?"

Upon examination, Ye Lingyue was taken aback.

The injuries inside Huang Jun were quite odd. In his body, a large number of tiny gold points were floating around. Ye Lingyue attempted to use Cauldron Breath to devour them, but unexpectedly found the Cauldron Breath was unwilling to devour these golden points.

This was completely different from the usual black spots of diseases or injuries Ye Lingyue had encountered before.

Moreover, Ye Lingyue noticed that the number of these tiny gold points inside Huang Jun was continually increasing.

His meridians, even his internal organs, were slowly solidifying into metallic colors under the pollution of these tiny gold points.

This was also why Huang Jun’s complexion looked so terrible.

Recalling past knowledge, Ye Lingyue seemed to remember seeing a similar illness somewhere before.

Still not giving up, she took out the Five Poison Treasure Record, and upon flipping through it, she made a discovery.

"Gold Stone Poison, a Gold and Earth attribute poison. The poison severs the meridians, and the complexion turns like gold paper. After ten days, the entire body’s meridians and internal organs transform into gold stone, impossible to save even by immortals. To cure Gold Stone Poison, you must first force the poison into the internal organs, then use the Ghost Needle from the Ghost Sect Thirteen Needles to stimulate the acupoints of the patient’s internal organs, draw out the Gold Stone Poison using magnetic stones, and thoroughly remove the poison blood from the patient before rescuing them."

Ye Lingyue quickly found that there was a poison in the Five Poison Treasure Record that completely matched Huang Jun’s symptoms.

Fortunately, there was also a treatment method for this poison in the Five Poison Treasure Record.

But even so, curing Gold Stone Poison was no easy task. If Ye Lingyue hadn’t just mastered the sixth needle—Ghost Needle—of the Ghost Sect Thirteen Needles, Huang Jun would likely face grave odds.

Fortunately, magnetic stones were available at Cold Mountain Inn in the city.

Ye Lingyue immediately requested Si Xiaochun to acquire several magnetic stones from Cold Mountain Inn to extract the large amount of solidified metal from Huang Jun’s body.

Seeing those metals, Ye Lingyue pouted, understanding why the Cauldron Breath was reluctant to devour the gold points inside Huang Jun.

It wasn’t a matter of inability to devour; rather it was unwillingness to do so.

Ever since the Cauldron Spirit advanced to Ding Saint Level, its abilities hadn’t particularly grown, but it had become increasingly choosy, disdainful of devouring metal waste formed by Gold Stone Poison.

With the dual action of the magnetic stones and Ghost Needle, the Gold Stone Poison in Huang Jun’s body was gradually cleared out.

Finally, Ye Lingyue used a white Cauldron Breath to once more clear Huang Jun’s meridians, allowing his blood flow to resume, and by the second day, Huang Jun’s face finally began to regain color.

He gradually regained consciousness as well.

"Boss Ling Yue, I knew that with you here, I wouldn’t die."

Huang Jun opened his eyes, and upon seeing Ye Lingyue, squeezed out a smile.

"Don’t talk about life and death. You’ve really taken a trip around the Ghost Gate this time. Tell me, what exactly happened? Fourth Senior Brother said you encountered Luo Yi? Who hurt you like this?"

This treatment consumed a lot of Ye Lingyue’s energy, but she had no time to rest even now.

According to the Five Poison Treasure Record, Gold Stone Poison, a Gold and Earth Dual Attribute poison, was already rare on the mainland, and only the most sinister dark Evil Methods brewed such poison.

At the mention of Luo Yi, Huang Jun’s expression darkened.

"The one who hurt me was none other than Luo Yi."

Ye Lingyue was shocked to hear this and asked in disbelief.

"How could it be Luo Yi? Are you sure you didn’t see wrong?"

Ye Lingyue understood Luo Yi’s character; she was definitely not someone who would betray fellow disciples or attack in secret.

"It’s her. Although I haven’t seen her in two years, I wouldn’t mistake her appearance and figure. But she didn’t seem to recognize me. I barely asked a few questions when she suddenly attacked. The injuries on me are from her. Her look was very strange, Ling Yue. Something must have happened to her. You have to find a way to save her."

After being attacked by Luo Yi, Huang Jun recalled seeing several people dressed as Martial Artists leaving with her.

Regrettably, he was too severely injured to clearly see who those people were.

"That means after arriving at Ancient Nine Provinces, something must have happened to Luo Yi. It’s a pity we are in Huangquan City now and can’t go to the Gold City to investigate."

Huang Jun felt regretful.

Due to this incident, he still hadn’t passed the novice exam in Gold City.

Qin Xiaochuan, on the other hand, had already become an official Demon Hunter.

This fact somewhat envied Ye Lingyue and Huang Jun.

No one would have expected that the carefree Qin Xiaochuan would be the first among the new batch from Lonely Moon Sea to pass.

Ye Lingyue had seen the City Transfer Orders of both Huang Jun and Qin Xiaochuan.

She learned that every novice had one opportunity for city transfer before becoming an official Demon Hunter.

Of course, such a City Transfer Order was issued only in very special circumstances.

For instance, this time, Huang Jun received it because he was severely injured, and staying in the Gold City was considered a waste of resources. Additionally, Qin Xiaochuan exchanged a top-grade spiritual stone, prompting the manager at the City Lord’s Mansion to show leniency, granting a transfer order.

However, if Huang Jun wanted to return to the Gold City again, he couldn’t use the City Transfer Order. Instead, he must become an official Demon Hunter and use that identity to return to the Gold City.
