The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 68 Searching for the Antidote

Ever since Qiu Ziyue recognized Li Keyong as her godfather, her life has taken off like a rocket, with all the rules in her favor.

The rules for the swordsmanship competition were changed to allow top swordsmen to compete in preliminary rounds and semi-finals, with only the winner of the semi-finals advancing to the finals.

Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue do not need to appear in the preliminary and semi-final rounds and can directly enter the final.

The reason is that Qiu Ziyue won the championship in both dance and piano competitions, and Qi Yuxuan won the sword fighting championship for two consecutive years.

This means that only Qi Yuxuan, Qiu Ziyue, and one other contestant will participate in the final.

This saves a lot of effort and steps.

Qiu Ziyue knew in her heart that this was to give her and Qi Yuxuan time to recover from their injuries. She had also heard that Qi Yuxuan had suffered a stroke and vomited blood after stabbing her with a sword last time.

"This is great, I can rest for a few days and recover from my injuries. It's so good to have a devilish father," Qiu Ziyue muttered to herself.

With the rules of the martial arts competition announced, sword masters from all over the world have begun preliminary duels in the past few days.

Most of the members of the five major sects and gangs participated in the sword fighting competition, so the smoke billowed, heroes competed, and the battle shook the heavens, as if it had nothing to do with Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue.

They are simply waiting for a top player to emerge victorious from the competition before starting the finals.

Lu Yuanchangming has been visiting Qiu Ziyue frequently these past few days. He noticed that Qiu Ziyue always seemed distracted, so he asked her what was troubling her.

Qiu Ziyue said, "Miss Yushuang's poison has not been cured. I heard that there is a kind of herb called Detoxifying Herb in Cigu Village, which can alleviate her poisoning. Last time, my three senior brothers and I wanted to find this herb, but we were intercepted by Qi Yuxuan and his group and were injured. We still haven't obtained the herb."

Lu Yuanchangming thought to himself, "The special fireworks made by Liu Anxiang haven't been made yet. It seems that we need to find this antidote herb first to alleviate Qi Yushuang's poisoning. Why not help Qiu Ziyue find this herb?"

So Lu Yuanchang said, "Aralia elata is indeed very effective. Don't worry, I will help you find her."

Just then, three senior brothers walked over.

Upon hearing Qiu Ziyue's words, an expression of disbelief immediately appeared on their faces.

"Junior sister, what are you saying?" Qiu Langyu asked, frowning. "You're going to find the antidote herb? And you're going to give it to Qi Yushuang?"

Qiu Ziyue nodded and said firmly, "Yes, only in this way can we alleviate Qi Yushuang's poisoning."

Qiu Wenfeng shook his head and said, "Junior sister, are you crazy? Have you forgotten that because of Qi Yushuang, they wronged you, and Qi Yuxuan even stabbed you with a sword?"

Qiu Wentian chimed in, "Yes, junior sister, we all know you are kind-hearted, but that doesn't mean you can help someone who has hurt you without any precautions."

Looking at the anxious faces of her three senior brothers, Qiu Langyu felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She knew they genuinely cared for her, but she also had her own principles.

Seeing this, Lu Yuanchangming stepped forward and said calmly, "Distinguished guests, your junior sister has made up her mind. In that case, I am willing to go and find the antidote."

“Alright,” Qiu Langyu sighed, finally nodding in agreement, “In that case, let’s work together to find the antidote as soon as possible. Ziyue is injured, so let’s not go for now.”

Qiu Ziyue nodded gratefully.

The three senior brothers and Lu Yuanchangming left Luming Tower and embarked on a journey to find the antidote.

Qiu Ziyue and Liu Xu stayed where they were, silently praying for their safe return.

After several days of arduous horseback riding, Lu Yuanchangming and his three senior brothers finally arrived at the legendary village of Cigu.

The valley is quiet and mysterious, surrounded by dense forests, and the air is filled with the faint scent of grass and trees.

The four searched carefully in the valley and finally found a small hut under an ancient pine tree.

The cottage was simple and rustic, with various herbs planted in front of it, emitting a pleasant fragrance.

An elderly woman with a kind face and clear eyes lived in the small house.

When she saw the four people arrive, she smiled slightly and asked them in an aged voice why they had come.

Lu Yuanchangming stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Senior, we have come to ask for your help. A friend of mine is injured. Do you know where we can find an antidote herb here?"

The old man nodded and said gently, "Young people, I know you've come to save lives, but before that, I have three questions for you. If you answer them all correctly and completely, I will give you the antidote herb."

Lu Yuanchangming smiled slightly and nodded in agreement: "Senior Cigu, please give me the question, and I will do my best to answer it."

Cigu nodded and asked, "My first question is, what are the 'Eight Extraordinary Meridians' and what are their respective functions?"

Lu Yuanchangming pondered for a moment and replied, "'The Eight Extraordinary Meridians' refer to the Ren Meridian, Du Meridian, Chong Meridian, Dai Meridian, Yin Qiao Meridian, Yang Qiao Meridian, Yin Wei Meridian, and Yang Wei Meridian. The Ren Meridian governs all the Yin meridians of the body and is responsible for pregnancy; the Du Meridian governs all the Yang meridians of the body and is responsible for consciousness; the Chong Meridian is the sea of ​​the twelve meridians and is responsible for reproduction; the Dai Meridian restrains all the meridians and is responsible for consolidation; the Yin Qiao Meridian and Yang Qiao Meridian are responsible for limb movement and regulate sleep; the Yin Wei Meridian and Yang Wei Meridian are responsible for the balance of Yin and Yang and regulate Qi and blood."

Cigu nodded slightly, clearly satisfied with the answer.

She continued, "My second question is, what are the 'Five Elements and Six Qi'?"

Lu Yuanchangming calmly replied, "'Five Elements and Six Qi' is an important concept in traditional Chinese medicine theory. 'Five Elements' refers to the movement and changes of the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. 'Six Qi' refers to the changes of the six natural climates: wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, and fire. They interact with each other and affect human health."

Cigu's eyes brightened, clearly very satisfied with Lu Yuanchangming's answer.

She then raised a third question: "Lastly, what is 'Six Channels Differentiation' and how is it applied in clinical treatment?"

Lu Yuanchangming smiled slightly and explained in detail: "'Six Channels Differentiation' is an important theory in the Treatise on Cold Damage, which divides the human body into six parts: Taiyang, Yangming, Shaoyang, Taiyin, Shaoyin, and Jueyin. Each part corresponds to different organs and meridians. By analyzing the location and extent of the invasion of pathogenic factors, diagnosis and treatment are carried out."

After listening, Cigu smiled approvingly and nodded, saying, "It seems you know a lot about traditional Chinese medicine. Many people think these questions are very simple, but they can't answer them all, so I won't give them any herbs."

"And you, young man, are humble yet confident, optimistic and cheerful, loyal and righteous. I have high hopes for you, and you will surely achieve great things in the future."

After speaking, the old woman slowly stood up and walked to a patch of medicinal herbs nearby. She bent down and picked some tender antidote herbs, carefully wrapped them up, and handed them to them.

“This is the antidote you requested,” Cigu said gently. “Take it back and give it to her. Remember, give it to her once in the morning and once in the evening for seven days, and the poisoning will be greatly reduced.”

Lu Yuanchangming accepted the antidote herb and said gratefully, "Thank you, Senior Cigu! We will make good use of these antidote herbs to ensure my friend recovers soon."

The three senior disciples stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Cigu, saying, "Thank you for your great kindness and virtue, Senior Cigu."

Seeing that the old man was very knowledgeable about herbs, Lu Yuanchangming asked him a few more questions, such as whether he knew how to cure a poison called "Flower-Faced Moon-Falling".

The old man said that this poison is difficult to cure because there are many different formulas for it, each formulated by the poison maker themselves, and only the poison maker knows the formula. However, you can ask the poison maker what formula they used, and I will develop an antidote based on that formula.

Lu Yuan Changming politely said goodbye to the old man.

Cigu smiled and nodded, saying softly, "Go ahead, and may everything go well for you."

Lu Yuanchangming and his four senior brothers bid farewell to Cigu and embarked on their journey back to Luming Tower.
