465: Source of Poison Once there is one, there will be two. Seeing that Ye Lingling has the ability to save people, these villagers would not care how they got sick. They would only think about asking her to save people quickly.
But there is always a priority in saving people. If someone is ranked later but dies from the poison, Ye Lingling will become a sinner.
Zhao Wuji did not expect that Ye Lingling would be so inexperienced. But with him around, these villagers would never dare to act recklessly.
"Not everyone is infected with the same disease. I think this guy should have a different disease from everyone else, so he may be cured. The rest can only find other ways."
After the words fell, these villagers who did not know the reason stopped talking.
Ye Lingling wanted to refute Zhao Wuji's words, but after seeing the enthusiasm on the villagers' faces dissipate, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Lingling, you shouldn't do this. Grandpa said that if you can't cure all patients in a short period of time, then don't save anyone, otherwise you will cause trouble for yourself." Dugu Yan said in a deep voice beside her ear.
Ye Lingling's starting point is good, but she also has to find the right way. If these villagers are all high-quality people, then she will not cause conflicts among the family members if she treats these patients in a queue; otherwise, she will cause trouble for herself.
Ye Lingling took a deep breath and turned her eyes to the villagers, "Where are the poultry in your village?"
"Dead, all dead." A villager said.
Of course, some of them are not dead, and they are made into sacrifices and offered to the statues.
"Are their symptoms of death similar to these villagers?"
After getting a positive answer, Ye Lingling's previous speculation was further confirmed in her heart.
It must be that people and livestock ate the same thing, which led to the death of poisoning. The most likely one is the water source.
Ye Lingling said in a deep voice: "Where does the water in your village come from?"
Under the guidance of several villagers, Ye Lingling was taken to a stream. The water here is clear and you can occasionally see fish swimming through it.
"Except for a few households in our village who dug wells, most people get water from here."
Dugu Yan asked, "So, did anyone in the homes of the villagers who dug wells get poisoned?"
Several villagers thought about it carefully and shook their heads to deny it. "It seems not. At first, even the chickens raised by those households did not die. Later, they also took the water to offer to the statues."
Everything seemed to be clear. The villagers who got water from the stream were poisoned, so the source of the poison came from here.
The villagers who were poisoned later were most likely to have drunk the poisoned water they had taken before.
Even the villagers who did not know medicine noticed something at this time.
Ye Lingling arranged, "Next, you should not get water from the stream. First, get water from the homes of the villagers who have wells, and wait until we investigate the cause."
The stream was poisoned, most likely from upstream. It could be a natural disaster, but of course it was more likely man-made.
Dugu Yan summoned the Green Phosphorus Snake Emperor martial spirit and controlled the martial spirit to enter the stream, trying to explore the source of the toxins in the water.
Zhao Wuji took out a row of silver needles from his soul guide and handed them to the two of them.
"These are the poison testing needles I took from the Medicine Department before I left. Different steel needles correspond to different poisons. If multiple poison testing needles change, it proves that the poison is mixed."
Dugu Yan raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that the Medicine Department would actually come up with such a set of poison testing needles. Of course, these poison testing needles are sold in the Chamber of Commerce. Zhao Wuji is the vice president after all, so of course he knows the existence of this set of poison testing needles.
Before leaving, Qi Tian told him to make sufficient preparations in case of emergency.
Dugu Yan waved her hand casually, and under the control of soul power, dozens of different steel needles fell into the water. When she picked it up again, there was no change on the steel needles.
"The poison was probably washed downstream by the water." Ye Lingling said in a gentle tone: "Sister Yanzi, let's go to the water tanks in the villagers' homes and have a look. Maybe we will get something."
Finally, Ye Lingling found the source of the poison in the water tank of a villager's home where all the villagers had contracted the disease and died - a toxin mixed from six weak poisons. After finding the source of the poison, the subsequent treatment work was much easier.
Ye Lingling was responsible for treating several critically ill villagers, and Dugu Yan was responsible for preparing herbs for the villagers with milder symptoms to take.
Two months later, when the people in the village were almost cured, they followed the stream and walked upstream.
Fifty miles upstream, they found large tracts of medicinal fields. In
these medicinal fields, there are herbs that are the source of six toxins.
The owner of this medicinal field originally wanted to mix the weak toxin herbs together to make a peerless medicine. But he didn't expect that he would make a peerless poison.
In order to avoid problems, he poured all the poison into the river, which then flowed downstream, causing the entire village to be poisoned.
After a long period of scouring by the river water, the toxin can still take a person's life. It is conceivable that if the poison is taken directly, it will be difficult for the gods to save it.

After more than half a year, Qi Tian finally ended his retreat.
During the retreat, he absorbed five God-given soul cores and two hundred thousand year soul bones, and his soul power successfully broke through the ninety-eighth level.
If the quality of his soul power had not far exceeded the level of the Ultimate Douluo, his soul power level would have likely jumped through the ninety-nineth level.
However, Qi Tian didn't care, as the second martial soul could still absorb two soul rings. When the second martial soul breaks through the ninth environment realm, his soul power will naturally reach the ninety-nineth level.
After stretching himself, Qi Tian finally walked out of the retreat room.
"This retreat really took up a lot of time." Qi Tian sighed.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm laughed, "Of course, the improvement in strength is also huge. With your strength, on the mainland, who can be your opponent unless it is a real god?"
He didn't say half a sentence. Even if the Emperor Tian appeared in the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, Qi Tian might be able to give it a try now.
Qi Tian smiled faintly and returned to the sect hall to digest the recent news.
Among them, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan's divine test has been completed, and they are now on their way back to the sect.
Qi Tian did not receive any new content from the divine test. It seems that he has to wait for Ye Lingling to return before the two of them can start their divine tests together.
However, there will definitely be no rewards for unfinished divine tests. The most critical thing in the divine test is the affinity of divine power. Without affinity, it is impossible to try out divine power.
As long as it reaches more than 70%, you can barely use divine power to fight. (End of this chapter)
