The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1522 - 1607: Mysterious Visitor

"This isn’t really worth it," Dong Huiying stroked her chin, seated in a Taishi Chair.

She thought about how Huang Qi and her people were tighter-lipped than clams, and as for herself, although she could perform Gu Refinement, the usually infallible True Word Gu had failed against Huang Qi’s group. So what to do, kill them?

Rushing to cause deaths before the situation was clear seemed unwise, but keeping them? Not knowing whether they were foes or allies, having to feed and house them every day — wasn’t that too much trouble?

She blinked, thinking to herself, why has the Master behind Huang Qi and her group remained silent?

Shouldn’t they make a move by now?

After all, there were over a dozen lives at stake here, and each one was well-trained, clearly products of much effort.

To abandon them just like that?

Such audacity, don’t they feel the loss at all?

About five or six days passed.

On this day, Dong Huiying locked herself in a small room mixing various poisonous liquids and powders, these were lethal concoctions. She was deeply focused while preparing them, not daring to get distracted, lest she poison herself by accident, which would be tragic and entirely not worth the risk?

It was at that moment that a mysterious figure appeared uninvited.

An elder, an old woman with a face full of wrinkles, dressed in clothes that seemed of poor quality, suggesting a modest background.

Her arrival was silent, and where Dong Huiying lived was not heavily guarded, appearing on the outside as a common estate courtyard, yet filled with latent traps. Besides anything else, the poisons Dong Huiying concocted could kill without a trace.

The old woman had evidently scouted the place before coming.

So despite her stealthy entry, unnoticed by anyone, she walked with extra caution, afraid that a single misstep might expose her to deadly poison.

To many, the place where Dong Huiying and her companions resided was no less than a Dragon’s Den and Tiger’s Lair.

The old woman slowly approached the dark room where Dong Huiying was, as some of the poisons couldn’t be exposed to light, so these days she preferred working in such damp and dark little rooms.

Ever since she infiltrated the estate, the old woman held her breath, using the Abdominal Breathing Method, also known as the Breathless Technique. Her clothes, although ordinary in fabric, covered her tightly, even having a black cloth wrapped over her face, leaving only her sharp eyes visible.

She regarded this place with great seriousness, aware of the many perils within.

Inside the dark room, Dong Huiying carefully placed a lid over a ceramic jar; this was a brand new poison.

Sometimes she thought it quite amusing; in her past life, she mainly studied Medical Skill, using it to save lives, but in this life, she had delved into the Gu Poison Second Technique, which could also save lives but wasn’t as practical as Medical Skill. Nonetheless, if she intended to harm, well, it was truly undetectable and inescapable.

The new poison she was working on today was actually meant for Huang Qi’s group. It wouldn’t be fatal, but would leave the victim in a state of living death.

Huang Qi’s group was all tough nuts to crack, prying open their mouths wouldn’t be an easy task.

Dong Huiying exhaled deeply; now all that was required was to leave it for twelve hours, and the new poison would be ready to use.

She sealed the ceramic jar, picked up a cloth to wipe her dirty hands, and walked outside with a smile.

As she pushed open the door to the dark room, a fierce gust suddenly struck!
