Chapter 599 The Secret Order of the Poison Sect

If one were forced to watch and helplessly bear it as their muscles and bones were inverted, it would be torture.

At the thought of it, Lin Mengya couldn’t help but feel a chill rush down her spine.

Therefore, she had to try her best to find the real antidote before the symptoms developed.

Otherwise, it was very likely that Long Tianyu would become a scapegoat for Gu Die.

In this way, Lin Mengya forgot about the matter of competing with Gu Die. She had no interest in doing so, and besides, she had no time.

“What a quack! He’s such a quack!”

Baili Rui growled in anger. Under his careful observation, he could already identify the side effects of Gu Die’s medicine.

Those who took his medicine were essentially drinking poison to quench their thirst.

Baili Rui was a poison-making doctor, but when he saw the results, he couldn’t help feeling disgusted with Gu Die.

“Perhaps she didn’t mean it. After all, not everyone has such profound knowledge in the art of poison.”

Compared with Baili Rui, Lin Mengya was much calmer.

She had combined the knowledge of poison from her teacher with the modern techniques she possessed so that she was able to achieve such a result.

With Gu Die’s medical skill, it would be impossible to speculate about such serious complications.

Perhaps Lin Mengya didn’t know much about other things, but at the very least, she knew Gu Die didn’t seem to be the kind of person who didn’t care about the lives of others.

“Don’t come out to harm others if you don’t have good medical skills. Humph, don’t I know what kind of people they are? Once the poison spreads in the future, they might put the blame on our Poison-making Doctors. Thirty years ago, they did this.”

Lin Mengya had felt that it was a little strange in the past.

The teacher’s temper was a little weird, but to be honest, he was not unreasonable.

However, he would always inexplicably target those orthodox doctors, especially the ones from aristocratic families.

For example, once she mentioned the Pavilion of Herbs to him, he scolded those elders and famous doctors harshly one by one.

Now she understood that there seemed to be some kind of grudge held by them in the past.

“What happened 30 years ago?”

Baili Rui didn’t avoid Lin Mengya’s question this time. On the contrary, he sighed and sat opposite her.

He began to tell Lin Mengya about what had happened in the past.

“Although our doctors’ sects are not divided as strongly as other sects, there are differences between them. Nowadays, many people think that poisonous techniques originated from the Lieyun Empire and the medical skills originated from the Nation of Lintian. These are just rumors. According to my family’s records, poison and medical skills were actually both passed down from ancient countries. However, because of their differences, it was split up into the Pavilion of Herbs in Lintian and the Black Spirit Academy in Lieyun. However, the inheritance of our poison skills should be from the Poison Sect.”

Poison Sect? This was a new name to Lin Mengya.

She subconsciously checked the music score for green-stringed instruments and found that there was no record of the Poison Sect.

She couldn’t help but focus on listening to her teacher’s words.

With Baili Rui’s pride, he actually had a pious look on his face when he spoke the name “Poison Sect”.

Lin Mengya couldn’t help but feel curious.

“It is said that the Poison Sect originated from the Ancient Tang Empire and was founded by an extraordinary person. There were a total of 76 books on poison skills, which covered almost all the records of poison. The records of poison passed down through our later generations all came from this. However, for some reason, the Ancient Tang Empire was destroyed and the Poison Sect disappeared in front of everyone. Although that’s the case, the poison techniques were not lost. It’s just that the poison techniques did not have a good reputation at that time, so most of the poison masters gathered in Lieyun.”

Lin Mengya nodded. In fact, this kind of situation had also happened in modern times.

However, it was a pity that the Poison Sect had disappeared just like that.

Baili Rui suddenly had a look of disdain on his face when he changed the topic.

Then, he began to talk about what had happened more than 30 years ago.

“Originally, the successors of poison and medical skills would compete with each other every ten years. The method of competition was very simple. Detoxify the other side’s poison. If people from medical backgrounds could not unravel our poison, they would lose. On the surface, it seemed that we were at an advantage, but you know all the drugs in the world have some way of being counteracted. When a new poison is created, an antidote will also be born. Therefore, the heir of poison always won more and lost less. However, 30 years ago, my father’s best friend got a rare poisonous flower. Its stamen was poisonous, but the petals were its antidote. The petals were also poisonous, but the stem was the antidote. The stem was also poisonous, but the root of it could be the antidote. Such a strange flower was very rare, so my father’s good friend searched the world and almost got all of this kind of poisonous flower. We were sure to win that year, but who knew that there would be a plague?”

The plot sounded very familiar to Lin Mengya.

Only the symptoms of the plague were similar to the symptoms of being poisoned by that strange flower.

Those famous doctors who claimed to be the medical experts had tried to detoxify people everywhere. However, they had done it wrongly, which had led to the deaths of most patients.

Therefore, to avoid responsibility, as well as the disgrace of the poison’s successor, they had joined hands and pushed all the responsibilities to a senior.

“Back then, Uncle Shen was forced into a corner and committed suicide. Although those poisonous flowers were proven to be not the main culprit of that plague, for the sake of their reputations, those shameless people burned all the poisonous flowers that could prove Uncle Shen’s innocence. It was also because of this that my father gave the order that the Baili family must leave the doctors’ sects for the rest of our lives. Unexpectedly, even though we were cautious, our family was still destroyed.”

A trace of bitterness spread over Baili Rui’s face.

Lin Mengya lowered her eyes. She could understand these things.

As long as people lived in the world, what they would pursue was fame and wealth.

No matter how high-sounding the reason was, all she had done was hope that Long Tianyu would be able to make it to that position in the right and proper way.

If someone dared to try stopping her at this time, she would not hesitate to use all kinds of means to get rid of them.

She had never been a noble person.

“However, does the poison sect that you mentioned have anything to do with your family background?”

Although Lin Mengya was not interested in other things, she held a similar attitude as Baili Rui did towards the rumors about poison skills.

The more she studied poison skills, the shallower she felt she was.

The art of poison and the art of medicine indeed had similarities.

But in fact, it was more difficult to learn poison than medicine.

Therefore, as soon as she heard the name “Poison Sect”, she felt an itch in her heart, as if someone had scratched it.

Seeing that his only student was so curious, Baili Rui thought for a while before deciding to take out a small cloth bag from his luggage.

The cloth bag was about the size of a palm, and it was dark red. Although it was a little old, it still emitted a good lustre.

Lin Mengya stared at the little cloth bag in Baili Rui’s hand. Could it be that he was going to give her some family heirloom again?

“Little girl, you only know how to keep an eye on my treasures. Alas, so many people wanted this thing once, but they all failed to get it. Now, you’ve hit the jackpot.”

Baili Rui teased her with a smile, but there was a hint of reluctance in his tone.

He opened the little cloth bag layer by layer. Finally, a seal with an ancient aura appeared.

Seeing the seal, Lin Mengya was stunned.

If it were not for the fact that the seal in front of her was made of obsidian and there was a white chrysanthemum pattern on it, she would definitely think that it was the key she had seen at the bottom of the Lin Family’s pool.

However, she still kept her doubts deep in her heart.

Because her intuition told her that this thing was not as simple as it looked.

“Since you have joined our Baili family, there are some things that you must understand. First of all, our Baili family is an authentic Poison Sect. If the Poison Sect has a chance to be known to all again in the future, you must go to the Poison Sect and reconnect our Baili family with them in person.”

Seeing Baili Rui’s serious look, Lin Mengya had no choice but to nod.

But in fact, she was also very interested in the Poison Sect. If that day really came, she would definitely go.

“Second, you can’t let anyone know about the existence of the Poison Sect and this Black Chrysanthemum Seal, especially about the medical skills. For so many years, they have been watching the movements of the Poison Sect. You can’t reveal anything about it even to those closest to you. Do you understand?”

Lin Mengya hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Long Tianyu would never interfere with her matters regarding the art of poison. Moreover, she was planning to keep the secret of Sanjue Hall to the end.

Therefore, this was not a difficult task.

“The third point, you can choose to obey or not. If possible, I hope that this Black Chrysanthemum Seal will stop being passed on. In fact, Poison Sect is just a big dream for us.”

Baili Rui’s voice was so soft that Lin Mengya almost missed the note of deep regret and pity in his voice.

Holding the slightly cold seal in her hand, she felt that it weighed a thousand pounds.

After all, this seal represented the dreams and expectations of many generations of the Baili family.

Now he had chosen to pass it to her, it was like he was ending his long-cherished wish.

Lin Mengya put the seal in her arms and looked at Baili Rui solemnly. She would definitely give Baili Rui the best results from these three points.

“Alright, I’ve given my last bit of treasure to you. There’s nothing left on me. Stop coveting my treasure, you little girl.”

Baili Rui hid the sadness in his heart and pretended to be relaxed, making Lin Mengya feel sorry for him.
