Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King's Wife
chapter-438

Mu Ru Yue frowned slightly before she said subconsciously, “Corpse Worm Poison!”

That’s right, the Alchemy Book had a description of the Corpse Worm Poison. She didn’t expect to meet with it here…

“Halt!”

Suddenly, a cold shout disrupted the tranquility of the mountain range.

A middle-aged man hopped down from the carriage. He then sized up Mu Ru Yue before he asked with raised brows, “Lady, do you know about the Corpse Worm Poison?”

Mu Ru Yue looked at the man and replied indifferently, “That’s right.”

Instantly, the man’s eyes lit up. With a trace of hope in his eyes, he asked, “I don’t know where the lady’s master is. May I know where is your master?”

“My master isn’t here.”

The middle-aged man sighed with slight disappointment after hearing her reply. “I don’t want to hide from the lady. My Royal Family… My house’s young master has been severely poisoned by the Corpse Worm Poison. Your master must be an alchemist so can I trouble Lady to seek for your master to help treat my young master?”

Mu Ru Yue’s brows rose as she queried, “Can I have a look at your young master?”

“Lady, please do so.”

The middle-aged man nodded and raised his hand to lift the carriage blind. An ashened face entered her sight.

The youth lying in the carriage seemed to be in severe pain. His face looked so feeble and his complexion was ashen due to being poisoned. Even his lips turned purple.

Mu Ru Yue’s eyes lit up after seeing his condition…

“It really is the Corpse Worm poison. It is even a thousand years Corpse Worm poison!”

A thousand years old Corpse Worm poison could be counted as a rare poison. Moreover, this thousand years Corpse Worm poison was an essential ingredient for creating the puppets from what she saw in the treasure book.

If it were as usual, she wouldn’t meddle in this. But she couldn’t not bother with it this time… If she had so much Corpse Worm poison, she could make an army of puppets.

“Your young master’s condition isn’t impossible to treat.” Mu Ru Yue suppressed her excitement and looked at the middle-aged man as she said that to him.

Elation brimmed the middle-aged man’s eyes after hearing what she said.

All the alchemists that he had sought had said that it was impossible to treat the Fourth Prince. Only she was the one that proclaimed she could. Happiness surged in his heart even if he didn’t know the credibility of what she said…

“Lady, may I ask when your master will come? Can I meet with the old man?”

In the middle-aged man’s point of view, he doubted that Mu Ru Yue was able to treat his master as several alchemists couldn’t do anything about the poison. How could she, who was in her teens, do it?

Thus, this lady most probably became a disciple of a alchemist expert and that alchemist could treat the Corpse Worm poison…

The middle-aged man’s breath became unsteady due to his anxiousness as he thought about that.

“You are to prepare some medicinal ingredients. You can then search for me after preparing those ingredients.” Mu Ru Yue couldn’t be bothered to explain so she casually instructed.

“…”

The middle-aged man was stunned. ‘We can start to prepare the medicinal ingredients so quickly?’

Mu Ru Yue, however, didn’t wait for him to snap out from his shock as she reported a long list of medicinal ingredients. The middle-aged man returned to his senses and made a person at his side record those medicinal ingredients.

“Lady, I don’t know where I can search for you once I prepared the medicinal ingredients?”

Mu Ru Yue pondered for a while before she replied, “The Xiao family of the imperial capital.”

“Xiao family? Lady is a person from the Xiao family?” The middle-aged man looked doubtfully at her and continued, “We are also heading to the imperial capital. Does the lady want to travel with us?”
