After becoming a villain, the heroine overheard my thoughts

As soon as these black-armored city guards appeared, the originally noisy inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion immediately became quiet.

A cold light flashed in Butler Qiu's eyes.

next moment.

These black-armored city guards were seen aggressively escorting more than 30 doctors on the right side and heading straight to the inner hall on the west side.

Among those doctors, the highest cultivation level was only at the fourth level of foundation building, so they had no courage to resist these black-armored city guards.

After a while.

The inner courtyard became much emptier.

Butler Qiu said nonchalantly, "All the outsiders have been cleared out. Now, let's start the second round!"

After a pause, he continued, "The first level tests your familiarity with herbs, and the second level tests your ability to boil herbs. So next, I will give each of you a medicine furnace, and you need to mix and melt the medicinal grains in your medicine boxes into a medicinal pill within the specified time."

"If we fail!"

At this point, he suddenly glanced coldly at the remaining 18 doctors including He Yuan, and said in a cold tone: "I think you should also know your fate!"

After saying this, he waved his sleeves again.

Immediately.

A group of servants from the City Lord's Mansion, each holding a three-foot-high medicine furnace, filed into the inner courtyard.

Afterwards, under the command of Butler Qiu, they were placed one by one next to He Yuan and other 18 doctors.

at the same time.

The black medicine boxes that He Yuan and others had handed in earlier were redistributed to them by the servants according to their respective numbers.

then.

Butler Qiu ordered someone to light a stick of incense as thick as a stick of wood and said, "One stick of incense is enough. The second level begins!"

As Butler Qiu finished speaking, eighteen doctors began to burn the furnace and melt the medicine particles in the box.

After all, they figured it out.

The only way out before them now is to successfully pass the three levels set by Butler Qiu, and then obtain the qualification to treat Luo Bing, the daughter of City Lord Luo Cheng.

otherwise.

They could only be forcibly dragged into the inner hall of the City Lord's Mansion like the failed doctors in the first level, facing the unknown fear of life and death.

They are not ordinary mortals, so their understanding of this world is much deeper than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, they are clear.

In today's Tianyuan Continent where demons are rampant and ghosts are lurking, sometimes death may not be the most terrifying thing.

What is truly terrifying to the depths of one's soul is watching one's own spirit being stripped away and then one's soul being corroded and corrupted.

The terrified situation of crying out to heaven and earth for help but getting no response is probably impossible to describe in any words.

He Yuan lit the medicine furnace, and then methodically placed the pills in the medicine box into the furnace one by one. He then manipulated the spiritual energy in his body, steadily controlled the fire in the medicine furnace, and began to dissolve the pills.

During this process, He Yuan relied on the guidance of the Wan Du clone in the Zifu Zhenxian Palace to always keep the firepower steadily at the critical point.

and so.

It took him only about half an incense stick of time to successfully refine all the medicinal grains in the medicine box.

What he had to do next was to fuse these melted medicine pellets together.

This process is also the most complicated.

Yes!

It is indeed not too difficult to simply integrate the melted pills.

But you need to know whether these pills themselves are toxic

Or, if they are combined, will they be toxic?

Because as a doctor, you are responsible for what you make.

This is not.

After He Yuan smelted two medicinal grains, they obviously produced a highly poisonous substance.

If it weren't for the reminder from the Wan Du clone, the pill that He Yuan finally refined would have been a poison pill.

With the reminder from the Ten Thousand Poisons Clone, He Yuan removed the poison in time, turning the whole pill into a life-saving pill.

It’s a pity that the other doctors present were not so lucky.

Many of them simply followed the rules set by Butler Qiu and combined the medicine grains in their own medicine boxes into pills, without caring at all whether they were toxic after being produced.

After a stick of incense.

Butler Qiu announced the end of the second level.

Eighteen doctors, including He Yuan, stopped what they were doing at the same time.

At this time.

Butler Qiu said nonchalantly, "Very good, none of you violated any rules this time. I am very satisfied."

However, before everyone could show a sigh of relief, he continued, "Well, now, please take the pills you made in the medicine furnace and put them into your mouths. Since these pills are made by you, you must know their medicinal properties. I believe you should not be too inconsiderate to take them, right?"

Hear the words.

The expressions on the faces of these doctors became quite interesting.

In fact.

Most of them were just trying to complete the one-stick-of-incense time limit given by Butler Qiu, so why would they care whether the pills they made were poisonous or beneficial?

Therefore.

Butler Qiu's sudden order for them to take the pills he had made made many people confused for a moment.

But the next moment, he discovered that the black-armored city guards standing guard not far away were showing signs of approaching.

How could these doctors dare to hesitate? They all picked up the pills made in their own medicine furnaces, stuffed them into their mouths, and swallowed them hard.

At this time, He Yuan naturally did not dare to act differently.

He also chose to pick up the pill in front of him and swallowed it with saliva.

After a while.

It can be clearly seen that the expressions of some people in the field began to change.

"Uh……"

The first person who couldn't bear it anymore was an old doctor who lived near He Yuan. He let out a miserable howl, and beads of sweat the size of beans began to drip from his forehead. Not long after, he bent over on the ground, holding his stomach in pain, and began to struggle hard.

In the end, he was foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over.

He soon died.

Then the second, the third...

In just half a cup of tea, ten doctors, like the first old doctor, showed signs of poisoning after taking the pills he had prepared.

Eight of them died on the spot, and the other two who were less poisoned had crooked mouths, slanted eyes, stiff limbs, and lost consciousness, becoming clearly idiots.

As for this scene, the remaining eight doctors, including He Yuan, could only watch helplessly under the watchful eyes of the black-armored city guards.

Until the poison in the bodies of the ten doctors had completely taken effect.

Then, Butler Qiu spoke slowly.
