Ding Hui negotiates for Fang Yu and herself to become guest elders of the Nanyuan Family, but only for the duration of developing the antidote. She also requests access to the cultivation method for Withered Heart Cold. Nanyuan En readily agrees to both conditions, eager to secure Ding Hui's expertise and advance his family's position. Fang Yu, though initially hesitant, accepts the agreement, recognizing the potential benefits of the Nanyuan Family's resources for their journey.

Five bottles of potion, Ding Hui consumes them quickly, two bottles are already gone.

The third bottle is almost empty too.

I don’t know how Ding Hui is using them, consuming so fast.

Fang Yu was puzzled, and just then, saw Ding Hui stop what she was doing and turn to him with a sweet smile.

"Husband, your performance just now was great."

Is she talking about the ventriloquism act?

Fang Yu rolled his eyes and asked directly.

"What exactly are you planning? Joining the Nanyuan Family, it won’t be easy for us to back out."

"Isn’t there still husband backing us up... Besides, come take a look at Nanyuan’s antidote."

"I won’t look, don’t understand, can’t comprehend."

Fang Yu decisively refused three times in a row.

Ding Hui was not angry, giggled twice, and said: "Husband, it doesn’t matter, I’ll tell you. This Nanyuan’s antidote is just like I mentioned before, they’re like shooting arrows at a target."

"Normally, a doctor, without knowing the pathology, would first start with external symptoms, alleviate them, then delve deeper until understanding the pathology, thus developing an antidote."

"But this antidote targets the root! It’s as if starting with the poison, analyzing the characteristics of the original poison, and doing a series of pharmacological configurations. Although the physician who configured this lacks skill, just addressing the superficial toxicity of the original poison, alleviating the onset of the poison. Yet there is a fundamental difference from my method, which means their alleviation truly addresses the root, it’s just that their skill level is too poor to deliver the desired effect."

"I’ve already gleaned some information about the original poison from analyzing and reverse-engineering this potion, but it’s not enough, the quantity is too little, and reverse-engineering solely from the antidote is quite cumbersome. I need a bit more time to completely unravel the mystery of the water poison."

Ding Hui spoke a lot in one breath, Fang Yu listened intently and then asked.

"So, was the water poison really released by the Nanyuan Family?? Wasn’t it Lin Liang??"

"Of course not, Lin Liang poisoning should be a certainty. If the Nanyue Family released the poison, then the antidote’s effect at this moment shouldn’t be at this level, but rather completely detoxifying. So, most likely, the Nanyue Family acquired something related to the Lin Family’s poison."

Fang Yu pondered for a moment and asked: "Couldn’t it be that the Nanyue Family has some formidable Divine Doctor?"

Ding Hui raised an eyebrow.

"If there was such a Divine Doctor in Da Liang City, wouldn’t I know? His reputation should have reached Thunder City long ago. Not to mention, I’ve already said, that physician is like shooting arrows at a target, fundamentally different in technique from ordinary doctors. Like having the answers and still doing poorly, even without meeting them, I know their skill level is actually quite lousy."

Touching upon Ding Hui’s area of expertise, her emotions were somewhat agitated.

Fang Yu quickly raised both hands in a surrender gesture.

"Okay, okay, I got it. Is this why you’re willing to collaborate with the Nanyuan Family?"

"Indeed, since I decided to solve this poison, it’s naturally better to resolve it quickly. Once we go to the Nanyuan Family, we’ll get straight to the point and ask them for the original virus. If there’s a sample of the original virus, one day... no! Half a day, and I can develop an antidote, then we’ll take Nanyuan’s resources and hit the road directly."

What a perfect plan.

Fang Yu couldn’t help but want to laugh, it seems Ding Hui hasn’t forgotten about Shangjing, just taking the opportunity to snag some resources from Da Liang City.

If everything truly goes as smoothly as Ding Hui says, then it’s indeed a good decision.

But whether everything will proceed smoothly is uncertain, everything will be seen tomorrow when we visit the Nanyuan Family to assess the situation.

"I’ll go talk to Captain Song, see how many in the team are willing to hit the road with us, and how many want to stay."

Fang Yu went out.

And after he left the tent, Ding Hui took out the carefully preserved Song Xi’s tumor from the box by the bedside.

Treating for several days, Song Xi’s tumor condition is actually fairly stable, but progress has been slow.

And the current water poison has indeed given Ding Hui some new ideas.

"Destroy and rebuild... destroy and rebuild..."

"Organ failure..."

She looked thoughtfully at the few bottles of poison water drawn up from the well on the table.

Elsewhere.

"Mr. Diao."

Song Zhenrong bowed respectfully, besides patrolling around Ding Hui’s tent, he needs to inspect the entire team, ensuring the safety and status of everyone.

"Captain Song, go and collect some information from the team, see how many are willing to stay in Da Liang City."

As soon as Fang Yu’s voice fell, Song Zhenrong responded directly.

"Sir, I just tallied it up today, at least 30% of the team currently are willing to stay in Da Liang City, unwilling to hit the road with us."

Fang Yu was taken aback.

"So few??"

"Sir, that’s not few. Although the wilderness is dangerous, with you protecting us, and mostly traveling on the official road, safety is relatively assured. Initially, many in the team wanted to stay in Da Liang City, but as some went out from the Foolish Underworld and gathered intel from outside, they gave up on the idea of staying in Da Liang City."

Fang Yu frowned.

"Why give up? Isn’t Da Liang City decent enough? Though not as good as Thunder City, it’s still a considerable town. Despite significant damage to various buildings, the reconstruction process, isn’t it providing outsiders with an opportunity for labor, the perfect time to integrate into Da Liang City!"
