Wen Yu left, and Wen Qingqing went to help Lu Yangyang, but Lu Yangyang waved her hand.
"It's okay, I can do it myself."
Wen Qingqing pressed her down: "Alright, stop being stubborn. This little bit of poison is nothing to me. Let me help you take off your clothes first. I've got you some other clothes. Change into them and then go take a bath and change your clothes."
Lu Yangyang nodded honestly.
When Wen Qingqing helped her up, she still felt dizzy and her stomach growled, "I'm starving, I forgot to eat."
"Yangyang, you really scared me to death, and you're still thinking about food." Wen Qingqing finally understood Wen Yu's feelings a little and shook her head at her in annoyance.
"It's my fault, I didn't tell you beforehand, I'm so sorry." Lu Yangyang grabbed her hand and shook it. "Is Master very angry?"
"More than that, I scolded you for hours." Wen Qingqing helped her take off her clothes, which were already soaked with blood, and touched her forehead with her hand: "You're probably going to have a fever for a while. Go take a shower first, then take a nap. Once the fever goes down, you can get your medicine."
"That's great!" Lu Yangyang's eyes crinkled with joy.
There was no indication that she had just gone through anything.
Wen Qingqing sighed, "I learned medicine from my grandfather since I was a child, but I always found it tedious and boring. So I was much more interested in poisons than medicine. Later, I left Medicine God Valley to travel, not to improve my medical skills, but to improve my poison skills. Even so, when I learned of the existence of the Hundred Poison Gu, I never thought of trying it myself. Yangyang, I suddenly don't understand. Do I really like poisons, or am I just bored and like challenges? Is my choice really meaningful?"
Wen Qingqing had a carefree childhood. Even though her parents were not around, she had a mother with an exceptionally tolerant personality and a group of senior brothers and sisters who loved her. She had neither worries nor pressures, and she did whatever she felt like. She never had to worry about anything.
Seeing Lu Yangyang risk her life to test medicine for Zong Que, even using the Hundred Poison Gu without hesitation, she suddenly felt a pang of envy.
That's right, it's just envy.
She admired that unwavering courage and that resolute determination that could not be shaken by any difficulties or dangers.
What about her?
To exaggerate a bit, she could be considered a master of both medicine and poison, though not at the pinnacle, her skills in both were top-notch. But what exactly did she like?
This year's experience felt like a fantastic adventure and an exploration to her. She had been doing whatever she wanted for a long time and had put her heart and soul into the things she liked, but suddenly, she felt a strange emptiness.
What exactly is she pursuing?
Wen Qingqing had never seriously considered this question before, but at this moment, she inexplicably wanted to know the answer.
When people are confused and ignorant, they can do whatever they want, but once they touch a certain mechanism, they can no longer endure the foggy feeling.
Lu Yangyang changed into dry clothes and was slightly stunned when she heard this. She hadn't expected them to be shocked by her use of the Hundred Poison Gu. She thought they would at most blame her for acting on her own without warning.
So I didn't think about it at all.
From the moment she and Wen Yu were studying the prescription, she knew that in order to achieve an absolute balance of those highly toxic substances and achieve a curative effect, it was necessary to test the medicine.
She has to personally test the medicine she prepares to be absolutely certain of its effectiveness.
Therefore, she never considered other methods of drug testing.
However, she also knew that drug trials were not an easy task, so from the beginning she had been constantly improving the antidote pills in order to give herself more assurance when she tried drugs in the future.
She was naturally willing to give her life for Zong Que, because she felt he was worth it.
But she won't do that.
To exchange one's own life for his is probably not saving him, but torturing him.
No one wants someone close to them to die for them; that would be too cruel.
Cao Gonggong, who had taken care of Zong Que since childhood, died on the boat during their exile. Although Zong Que never mentioned it again, Lu Yangyang saw Zong Que silently burning paper money for Cao Gonggong on New Year's Eve.
He always remembers.
Therefore, she never considered risking her life to gain anything.
She just kept trying to control the cost and hoped she could do better.
The Hundred Poison Gu was the best choice. She studied it with Yue Ling many times, and the Hundred Poison Gu she finally gave her was to ensure that she could survive, even if it came at a price.
The Hundred Poison Gu is most effective within three days of its successful preparation, enough to counteract the highly poisonous substances she is looking for without causing her any side effects. That's why she can only choose to take it after gathering all the medicinal materials, so that she can prepare and test the medicine at the same time.
She didn't discuss these things with Wen Yu and the others because she hadn't thought that much about it.
What was even more unexpected was that it provoked Wen Qingqing.
Lu Yangyang helped Wen Qingqing to her feet, thought for a long time, and then asked, "What do you think poison is?"
"Huh?" Wen Qingqing was stunned by her question.
Lu Yangyang continued, "You like poison arts because you find it interesting and more challenging than medicine. But if you think about it another way, whether it's a new poison or an antidote you develop, you won't use poison arts to harm people. Instead, it's the process of creating and solving problems, which is indeed a very interesting process. When you can make antidotes for most of the poisons you know and have researched, isn't that very meaningful?"
Wen Qingqing nodded absentmindedly: "You're right!"
"After I finish preparing the medicine for A-Que, I need your and Master's help with something. I told you before, the person who taught me medicine since childhood went insane after suffering trauma. I want to ask you to help me heal her. Aren't you very interested in what she taught me? Actually, I initially studied medicine just to make a living, and I didn't have any particular passion for it. But I think my aunt's research on medicine might help you find new answers." Lu Yangyang understood Wen Qingqing's confusion, but she couldn't give her any definite answers. This was a question that Wen Qingqing had to solve herself.
But she believed that with Wen Qingqing's passion for research, her aunt would surely bring her a pleasant surprise if she met her.
"Okay!" Wen Qingqing nodded excitedly, "Thank you, Yangyang!"
"You help me first, otherwise thanking me won't do you any good!" Lu Yangyang said with a smile.
"Don't worry, leave it to me. If the three of us can't handle it, I'll call in reinforcements!" Wen Qingqing patted her chest and assured her.
