Zhu Yanyi continued her explanation. "This is different from witch doctors. Witch doctors pass their skills down one-on-one and care deeply about character. Poison doctors are different. They only care about natural talent. Whether a person is good or bad doesn't matter to them. That is why the medical world used to despise poison doctors."
Zhu Yanyi paused for a moment. "It doesn't matter if your ancestors offended poison doctors. The decision is up to the poison doctors, not you. Poison doctors usually have strange personalities. If they think you offended them, they will judge you as guilty, even if you didn't. This arrogance was one reason they nearly died out. Most doctors looked down on such behavior."
"Based on your judgment, Little Divine Doctor, was our Wu family ambushed?" Wu Han asked urgently.
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "I can't say for sure. So much time has passed. No one knows what happened back then. Whether your ancestors were wronged is not for me to decide. It is all in the past."
Hearing this, Wu Han was stunned for a moment, then accepted it. "You are right, Little Divine Doctor. I thought wrong. Can the poison be cured?" This was the most important thing now.
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "It can be cured. But I need time to make the antidote. Also, most ingredients are easy to get, but one special herb needs your help to collect. Of course, I will also ask people to help."
"What herb?" Wu Han asked quickly. As long as it could save lives, he would find it, even if it meant collecting sweat in December or frost in June.
"Nüwa Shui," Zhu Yanyi answered seriously.
"Nüwa Shui? What is that? I have never heard of such an herb." Not only was Wu Han confused, but Gu Jingtian had never heard of it either.
Zhu Yanyi laughed and took a breath to explain. "Nüwa Shui is not hard to find. It grows in places where jadeite is produced. Legend says the five-colored stones Nüwa used to mend the sky were refined from jadeite.
When refining the stones, Nüwa's immortal energy infected the moss and plants beneath her. These plants absorbed Nüwa's aura, so they are called Nüwa Shui.
To find Nüwa Shui, you must look near jadeite veins. Places with jadeite veins produce a special spiritual energy. This energy helps many plants grow. Nüwa Shui is one of them. It is hard to find normally. You must look when the morning glow appears.
Every time the morning glow rises, Nüwa Shui glows with a faint rainbow light. It is very easy to spot. Once the sun fully rises, the light fades, and it looks like ordinary plants. So, you must find it exactly when the morning glow appears."
Zhu Yanyi paused. "Since no one knows this plant is Nüwa Shui, no one pays attention. Few people pick plants in the early morning, so no one usually finds it. When you find it, dig it up carefully with the roots and put it in a prepared jade box."
"Is Nüwa Shui easy to find?" Gu Jingtian asked for Wu Han.
Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "It is both easy and hard. It exists where there is jadeite. But you can only see it during the morning glow. That is why I say it is both easy and hard."
"No problem. I will have people collect it," Wu Han said directly. A relieved smile appeared on his face. "We have jadeite veins in Country N. Following your instructions, we should be able to find it there."
"It should be there," Zhu Yanyi nodded seriously.
Wu Han said directly, "In that case, I will call people to prepare it now. We must get it so the Little Divine Doctor can make the antidote soon."
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "Leave Nüwa Shui to you. I will prepare the other ingredients. Once Nüwa Shui arrives, I will start making the antidote immediately."
"Thank you for your trouble, Little Divine Doctor," Wu Han said gratefully.
"It is no trouble. Besides, you are providing the main ingredient. I am just making the antidote." Zhu Yanyi truly didn't mind. She was curious if there were any other poison doctors in the world besides her second senior brother.
Qu Zhong became a poison doctor just because she liked it. She enjoyed using poison to fight poison and cure diseases. This was different from the old concept of poison doctors. If there were other poison doctors, Zhu Yanyi felt she needed to understand them well. She couldn't let them harm the world.
During dinner, Zhu Yanyi told Yan Aohan about the poison doctors. Yan Aohan listened and said, "Don't worry. Currently, there are no poison doctors in China." This implied there might be some abroad.
"You know this?" Zhu Yanyi was surprised her fiancé was so capable. She knew everything clearly.
Yan Aohan chuckled. "If I didn't know these things, how could I be your fiancé?" Yan Aohan teased Zhu Yanyi lightly, but received a beautiful glare from her.
Yan Aohan didn't mind and continued, "I am telling the truth. Recently, I had people sort out all the various forces. That is how I know there are no poison doctors in China."
Bringing forces into the world is not simple. It is not something to be careless about. Yan Aohan was even more cautious. So, he had people sort out all forces, even small, unknown families in China. Therefore, almost nothing could hide from him.
Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi laughed. "I said you were busy, and you really are. You are busy with all this."
Yan Aohan sighed. "Wife, I have no choice. If I don't handle these things, it won't work."
If he didn't manage them, what if these people plotted something in the future? Yan Aohan didn't want to lose the big picture for small gains. So, he had to be careful.
Zhu Yanyi understood Yan Aohan. "So, you are saying poison doctors no longer exist?"
"Not exactly. They just don't exist within China," Yan Aohan said calmly. "You know I am Chinese, so I care about China.
Although I care about the balance of the whole planet, I care more about China. Consider it my bias.
As long as I exist in this country, I will not allow messy things to appear. Poison doctors are one of them. So, I drove them away."
