Chapter 33
Covered his mouth using both hands to not vomit from it, the pain and the sour smell are making him throw up but endured it.
Another jade bottle was given to him. His heart sank and his eyes watered, but still took the bottle and drunk all the content.
After the fourth bottle, he does not care anymore and just drunk the content.
He did not notice when he started to sweat heavily. The sweat released a foul stench that can easily make anyone heave.
The last bottle was finished. He did not know how many bottles of the torturous medicine he was able to drink.
His face full of agony, stomach-churning from all the liquid that he has consumed.
Gao Lan Mei checked his pulse, "Your throat will still hurt if you try to speak too much. Take this as a mouthwash. I forced out most of the poison, but there are still some left. I do not like using needles to men, endure the liquid until you can."
She handed him a jade bottle that contains a liquid that smells like mint, then left.
The mute old beggar is dazed. He
'Try to speak too much'
He repeated that to repeatedly through his heads. There's hope but he does not want to expect too much.
Opening his mouth, "I… I…" He said. "Ca… Can… Speak…" Slowly speaking the word, the mute old beggar cannot contain himself and he started to sob.
"I can talk!" He shouted with enthusiasm.
"I told you not to speak too much. Get out! You smell awful." Gao Lan Mei returned and found the previously mute old beggar sobbing.
She is never good with this type of things. Since it awkward for her, might as well kick the old man out.
"Master I can talk!" Ignoring her initial outburst, the old man hurriedly came closer and kneeled.
Gao Lan Mei covered her nose and angrily looked at the old man, "Yes! Clean yourself first!"
With another rebuked, the old man then realized that he smelled so bad that he himself would not be able to endure it in normal circ.u.mstances.
He was not able to contain himself earlier due to happiness, "I'm sorry, master. Xiao Jun will take his leave and get back later."
The previously old man that seems so week left revitalized like he became younger for a couple years.
Of course, that is because of the liquid medicine that he forced himself to drink.
Though she cannot create any pill due to her current spiritual strength, Gao Lan Mei can still make medicines and perform acupuncture.
The effect is not miraculous but will still work when needed.
Aside from making Xiao Jun speak also, she also restored his cultivation. The poison will not kill immediately, it will take years for it to completely spread removing the senses one at a time.
The poison is new for her, will just name it Slow Lily for the meantime.
First the spiritual sense, cultivation, then the mortal sense. Speech, visual, smell, hearing then finally touch.
The knowledge of knowing that you will eventually lose these senses may drive a man insane.
For Gao Lan Mei though, years are too long. She is interested to develop the poison for faster effect.
