There was indeed nothing wrong with that cup of tea, but licorice was added to the tea. Licorice is generally non-toxic, but once it smells of aconite, it becomes the highly toxic henbane.

Feng Wuxin knew that Mu Yan was a cautious person and would definitely check in advance whether there was any problem with the tea before drinking it. However, to check whether there was poison in the tea, two things had to be done: one was to look and the other was to smell.

The first thing to look at is the color of the tea.

The second smell is to smell the aroma of the tea.

He took the opportunity to secretly light the aconite incense when Mu Yan was smelling the tea, so he poisoned her without her knowing.

Mu Yan smacked her lips and said, "The poison of the fairy is extremely toxic. Once the poison takes effect, it will be extremely painful. Master is really cruel."

Feng Wuxin raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Yan, with a hint of admiration in his expression.

Not bad, the reaction is quite quick, and he was able to guess what kind of poison it was in such a short time. That's considered entry-level, barely passing.

"All the herbs for the antidote are in the room, but you only have one stick of incense to do it. Don't waste time. If you can't detoxify within one stick of incense, I won't let you die, but you should never ask to be my disciple again."

Mu Yan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Master, you should keep the antidote to yourself. I have a way to solve it myself."

The next second she rushed to the medicine cabinet and began looking for herbs to make the antidote, but only then did she realize that the names written on the cabinet were not the same as the herbs inside. It seemed that Feng Wuxin had prepared this in advance and was deliberately creating difficulties for herself to delay time.

Master is worthy of being a master, a veteran!

At this moment, she did not complain, but took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

Then he rolled up his sleeves, acted quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, and in less than a cup of tea, he had restored all the herbs in the medicine cabinet to their original state.

Because she took into consideration that her master would definitely give her more tests in the future, she sorted out all the herbs now, which would save her a lot of time later.

Feng Wuxin stroked his beard at an angle where she couldn't see and nodded with satisfaction.

He can maintain a calm and composed attitude even in desperate situations, and he does things in an orderly manner and plans ahead. He really has a good character and is a good talent.

Soon, Mu Yan prepared all the herbs needed for the antidote, but now there was another problem.

The master said that she only had one stick of incense, which meant that the poison he put in was very strong and would take effect in an hour. However, if she started to boil the herbs now, it would take at least two or three hours. If the boiling time was too short, the efficacy of the medicine would be greatly reduced, and it would definitely be considered a failure.

what can we do about it?

Feng Wuxin lazily lay in the rocking chair and said slowly:

"If you admit defeat, I can give you the antidote right now. If you have to wait an hour, you won't die, but you will be in great pain when the poison takes effect."

Mu Yan chuckled and said, "My disciple is not very talented and has not learned much. From the day I was born, I don't know how to write the word 'admit defeat'."

After hearing her answer, Feng Wuxin closed his eyes and rested, and didn't speak again.

Mu Yan bit her lip and went over all the methods of decocting medicine in her mind, trying to see if there was any shortcut.

correct!

She waved her hand and used her inner strength to blast all the herbs into powder, then poured them into the medicine pot and boiled them for half an hour. Boiling powder is more effective than boiling herbs and it takes less time, but there is one downside.

"vomit--"

After Mu Yan drank the medicine, her stomach felt like it was churning, and the bitter taste in her mouth went straight to the top of her head.

This is the defect of directly boiling the medicinal powder. It is so bitter that you will doubt your life and even cry.

"Don't vomit. If you vomit and the medicine becomes ineffective, you will lose." Feng Wuxin's voice floated out faintly, making Mu Yan put back her urge to vomit. She covered her mouth with one hand and pointed at Feng Wuxin with the other.

This old guy definitely did it on purpose!!!

Feng Wuxin looked at Mu Yan in such pain and finally couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha."

It feels so good. It feels so good.

"Don't accuse me of being heartless as a master. I'll pour you a cup of tea to rinse your mouth."

Then he brought a cup of tea to Mu Yan, but after her last experience, she was hesitant to take it.

Feng Wuxin raised his hand and swore, "Don't worry, I swear this time, there is nothing wrong with the tea."

Only after getting the assurance did she accept the teacup. After rinsing her mouth, she immediately felt her mouth much refreshed.

At this time, Feng Wuxin very considerately handed over a handkerchief. Mu Yan chuckled at him. It seemed that her master still had some conscience.

The master still loves his apprentice the most.

But the next second, she realized something was wrong.

She hurried to the mirror and found that there were many densely packed red spots around her mouth, and these small red spots were spreading to her face.

That handkerchief!

There must be something wrong with that handkerchief!

It's really hard to guard against, or I was just too careless.

When she turned around to check what was on the handkerchief, she found that Feng Wuxin had already put it in his arms.

He just said slowly: "I'm not testing your medical skills this time."

Mu Yan didn't understand and looked at him in confusion.

Feng Wuxin continued, "As my apprentice, you must not only be talented in medicine, but also smart. The antidote is hidden nearby. Let's see if you can find it."

Then he ignored her and continued to lie back in the rocking chair with his eyes closed.

This……

Mu Yan was going crazy.

This means that all the time I spent organizing the medicine cabinet was in vain. I was just working for the master for free!

And there is no clue at all so how can I guess? It’s just a blind guess!

She calmed herself down. Now was not the time to complain. She closed her eyes and recalled the scene when Feng Wuxin handed her the handkerchief.

Yes! There seemed to be some medicine crumbs on the handkerchief, which meant that the antidote was in the medicine furnace and not outside. This greatly narrowed the scope.

But there were so many things in the medicine furnace, she couldn't just search through them one by one. It was said to be a test, so what she found would definitely not count.

Any other tips?

She suddenly thought that the pattern on the handkerchief was very strange, with many messy lines. Could this also be a clue?

What does a pile of threads mean? Threads are related to clothes. Could they be hidden inside Master’s clothes?

Thinking of this, Mu Yan shook his head again. Master would never let him look through his clothes for the antidote, would he?

But what does this mess of wires mean?

It's really confusing and I can't figure it out.

Thousands of clues?

Thousands of lines, tens of thousands of lines?

Can't see it when it falls into the water?

Then she thought of the medicine she had just wiped from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, which was also water.

Thousands and millions of lines, something invisible falling into the water, that is rain. The answer to the riddle is related to rain.

It's a straw raincoat!

Then she hurried to the straw raincoat and found a green porcelain bottle inside.

Mu Yan smiled. The questions asked by this master were so simple that they were an insult to her intelligence.

But when she reached out to take the porcelain bottle, she unexpectedly triggered a mechanism on the side, and countless poison needles whizzed past her ears. Fortunately, she was agile and dodged them. Then she was afraid that the mechanism would emit more poison needles, so she immediately drew the sword at her waist, only to see that the mechanism was completely destroyed.

"Clap clap clap!"

There was applause from behind.

"Not bad, not bad, you have passed my test. This level is actually a test of your skills. You need to react quickly and strike hard. You should know that I don't have any talent for martial arts, so I have been living in seclusion in the city and my whereabouts are unknown.

Because the jade is innocent, but possessing the jade is guilty.

I hope my successors can have the ability to protect themselves so that they can use the medical skills they have learned to benefit more people.

Feng Wuxin looked at Mu Yan with satisfaction. This disciple was indeed well-qualified, gifted in medical skills, and superb in martial arts.

He is not the kind of selfish person who would not teach his medical skills to others. If he can contribute to more patients, then his life will be worth it.

Mu Yan was delighted to hear Feng Wuxin's affirmation of her, and immediately poured a cup of tea and knelt on the ground.

"Master, please bow to me, my disciple."

Finally, she became the master's legitimate disciple again.
