Chapter 32: Test Creature



Chapter 32: Test Creature

The poisons found in the walnuts were cultivated. This poison's smell was very faint, but the effect was quick.

It seemed that there's a conspiracy that they were not aware of yet. 'Well, it would not take long before someone get to enjoy the punishment hall later.' Xi Ma thought as he smiled evilly at Lao Chen, "Someone wants to offend the Wei Palace. The crows saved us."

"What?! Who dares!" Lao Chen exclaimed. He crunched his knuckles; his murderous intent was noticeable in the air.

Smiling at the commander, "We will find whoever he is, then you can do the rest. The master confirmed that." Xi Ma patted the brute's shoulder. Lao Chen was the strongest, just second only to the master, in the Wei Palace. He was not the smartest though.

He was a very tall and muscular man. His face could be considered handsome if not for the scary expression that was always on his face.

The glare from his sharp eyes was also always present and even his subordinates had a hard time approaching him.

He was also the one who served the master the longest and was the most loyal. If Wei Jiayi asked him to kill himself, he would probably do so with no complaints.

"Alright. I will wait! Do not take too long!" Then Lao Chen disappeared in the blink of an eye to going who knows where.

In the Gao Manor

After arriving, the servant of the Gao Manor helped the mute old beggar to clean up. He did not mind the servant fusing over him.

From that day onwards, he would be serving at the Gao Manor with these people. The feeling of not being alone in the streets made him delighted.

After cleaning up and changing to a better set of clothes, he was instructed to see Gao Lan Mei.

He was ushered to a room that he is most familiar with.

The room had herbs that were segregated per kind, the pots and the stove to create medicine were also present.

There were also different sized jade bottles on the shelf near the window.

He felt nostalgic due to the smell of the herbs. Even though he did not practice his knowledge of medicine, he still wanted to be close to it somehow. That's why he lived in the small alley next to the Medical Pavilion.

After following Gao Lan Mie, he did not expect that he would still be close to his passion.

He just thought that the amount of large herbs she bought from the Medical Pavilion were for someone else.

Looking at his master, it seemed that she was also a doctor, this was confirmed by her experienced way of handling the herbs.

"Sit anywhere that's comfortable." Gao Lan Mei said.

The mute old beggar nodded. He sat on a chair near the herb cabinet.

Gao Lan Mei checked his pulse, then handed him a jade bottle. The liquid content inside was blackish and it smelled sour. For him, the content was unfamiliar. He could not discern what herbs were mixed in that liquid.

The mute old beggar gulped. He just hoped that his master did not accept him just to make him a test creature for new medicines.

Medical apprentice from strong families normally bought slaves as test creatures. Some used them to remove impurities for the development of cultivation.

She waved her hand, a gesture that told him to drink it.

As soon as the liquid touched his tongue, he felt the burning pain. "Endure it. Drink everything."
