Chapter 1742: Chapter 1741: The True Reason Behind the Appearance of Divine Liquid
Isolation is useless. Normally, the only option would be to kill those infected and burn their corpses to completely eliminate any future trouble.
But at this time, Qiao Xiaomai and her group had already cleaned up the battlefield and now had time to deal with the situation. Qiao Xiaomai instructed the infected soldiers to drink Floral Dew.
In the past few days, she and Tong Sanlang had discussed this issue.
The poisonous monster was a creature formed by devouring and merging all the poisons under the heavens. The toxins in its body were unimaginably bizarre, representing the ultimate evil and corruption. However, Floral Dew was made using water from the Spiritual Spring. And what is Spiritual Spring water? It is the essence of heaven and earth, concentrated into water, the purest and most sacred substance.
When the ultimate evil meets the purest sacredness, there can only be one outcome: annihilation.
Thus, while Floral Dew had previously only been able to regulate and suppress toxins without completely neutralizing them, it was effective against the monster’s ultimate evil toxins this time around.
Qiao Xiaomai began producing Floral Dew again. The infected soldiers who drank it experienced intense burning sensations in their stomachs, as if a fire were raging inside their bodies. However, the feeling did not last long. Once they endured it, the toxins in their bodies were neutralized.
Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang’s hypothesis was correct—the Floral Dew could indeed cure this toxin.
This region was in the south, rich in a variety of flowers. When one type of flower was depleted, they simply switched to another. If flowers weren’t sufficient, they resorted to herbal medicine. The official explanation was that Floral Dew was made using a special secret method, so the specific raw materials—flowers or herbal medicine—didn’t matter.
For half a month, Qiao Xiaomai spent nearly every moment making Floral Dew, except for brief sleep breaks. Yang Ye dispatched countless individuals to help her, and she pushed herself as though she were a hundred people in one. Lives were at stake; she dared not slack off.
After half a month, the hidden threat in Daqi was resolved.
Bei Lingsu and Bei Yun headed to the Three Kingdoms to assess the situation. Over there, tens of thousands had already died—all victims of this illness. They had no medicine to treat it, and the disease was contagious. Thus, anyone infected by the illness was executed outright.
Bei Yun and Bei Lingsu learned of this and felt conflicted. Bei Yun was relatively composed; he had killed countless people before, and tens of thousands were nothing more than numbers to him.
Bei Lingsu, however, was filled with anger and helplessness. This toxin had no cure and was contagious. The Three Kingdoms’ leadership was correct in killing these infected individuals, but the sheer number—tens of thousands, tens of thousands!—was a staggering figure.
The loss of so many lives was an unimaginable burden on karma.
Bei Lingsu immediately returned and brought Qiao Xiaomai over, asking her to produce Floral Dew to save the people of the Three Kingdoms.
When Qiao Xiaomai heard that tens of thousands had already died in the Three Kingdoms, her vision darkened for a moment. Damn it, while the disappearance of this war was a monumental achievement, resulting in the manifestation of Divine Liquid, now tens of thousands had died. It didn’t matter how they died—the casualties had already occurred. Would heaven now deduct all the credit she earned, leaving her with a negative moral balance?
How many good deeds would she need to perform to offset the lives of tens of thousands?
Only after offsetting this debt could she start accumulating good karma again. But aside from retrieving cotton, she couldn’t think of another good deed that would truly benefit the country and its people. Hence, the next appearance of Divine Liquid would likely be a distant hope!
Tong Sanlang, hearing her concerns, carefully pondered the issue before speaking. “I don’t think that’s the case. I believe the Divine Liquid appeared not because the war was prevented, but because the monster capable of destroying this world was killed.”
