“His body was sprayed with odourless and colourless poison . I assumed that the few of you have touched him?” She looked at them and saw their expressions change .
“Yes, we moved the body inside to inspect it . But we didn’t find any trace of poison . ” Fan Lin said solemnly . He was the one out of the few of them who was versed in medicine . Hence, when Xiang Hua’s body was discovered, other people were in charge of carrying the body inside, and he was in charge of the autopsy . Little did he expect… . .
Feng Jiu looked at the few of them, then took Fan Lin’s pulse to determine what poison he was inflicted with . However, her findings had her worried as it as not an ordinary poison .
Besides being odourless and colourless, the poison was slow acting . Before the poison took effect, it was impossible to detect it . If she hadn’t noticed that the few of them had slight redness under their eyes, she wouldn’t have known that they had been poisoned .
She withdrew her hands without saying anything . Instead, she took out a thin mask and a pair of thin gloves from space . If she was unable to find anything from these few men, she would surely be able to discover something from inspecting Xiang Hua’s body .
She collected some fine powder from under his nails and on his collar with some tools . Without raising her head, she asked: “Fan Lin, what are the findings of your autopsy?”
“Master, there are many wounds all over his body, but they didn’t cause his death . Both his hamstrings are broken, and both his hands have been twisted till they broke . His body was also burnt in many places… . . ”
As Fan Lin spoke, the anger deepened in his heart . He studied medicine, and he knew from the wounds on his body that he was tortured while he was alive .
“None of these attributed to his death . He died because his Golden Core was destroyed . Every vein in his body was broken . Du Fan investigated and said that someone might have used him to search for souls . Maybe it was because of that, he destroyed his Golden Core and commited suicide . ”
Feng Jiu listened as she continued to examine the body . It was as Fan Lin had said, he was tortured before death, and there were signs of soul searching .
After a long time, she finally stood up looking at Xiang Hua’s body with vengeance and anger in her heart . She looked at the few of them and said: “Luo Yu, Xu Duo, move his body to the back of the mountain and burn it . Bury him at the back of the mountain . Du Fan, dig out all the information from the missions Xiang Hua had received . Fan Lin, you will work with me to make the antidote . The rest of you, keep an eye on anything that happens at the manor . ”
Everyone went off to make a start on their tasks and Feng Jiu brought Fan Lin to the medical room to make an antidote for them .
“Tell me any symptoms you have, and give me some of your blood for testing . ” She said to him as she prepared everything .
“Yes . ”
Fan Lin responded and did as she instructed . He helped her with preparing the antidote and at the same time the poison in his body was starting to take effect . After about an hour, the antidote was not ready, and he was struggling to hang on .
“Master, I think the poison is taking effect . I can’t see anything, and I am finding it hard to breathe, my whole body… . . ” before he could finish speaking, he had collapsed .
Seeing this, Feng Jiu caught him and lowered him to the ground . She sealed the major acupuncture points in his body with needles and re-examined him . After she found the symptoms, she made the antidote .
After the duration of an incense, she made the antidote into pills and gave one to Fan Lin to take . At the same time, she sent a breath of spiritual power through her palms into his body to help the antidote take effect faster .
