Transmigration with Cheat Codes Chapter 48.2: Disciples of The Green Moth Palace

Meng Jintang's gaze subtly intensified. The poison that the other party had contracted was lingering and had already merged into the meridians and bloodstream. It was challenging to eliminate.

In this aspect, it shared similarities with the cold poison in her own body. After a moment of contemplation, she took out a bottle of Yang Settling Powder and handed it over, expressing that while it might not be guaranteed to work, it was a gesture of goodwill.

Yao Niang recognized that the Yang Settling Powder was an appropriate remedy. She expressed gratitude to Meng Jintang and requested someone from the Nanjia Fort to bring a stretcher. This would facilitate the transport of the young mistress back to her room for further treatment.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen quickly apologized and instructed his subordinates to immediately fetch a stretcher. In reality, individuals with martial arts skills could easily carry someone back to their room.

However, the disciples from the Green Moth Palace primarily considered that regardless of how the young mistress was carried, the journey would inevitably be bumpy, potentially accelerating the spread of the poison. Hence, the decision to use a stretcher.

Meng Jintang interjected, "Repeated trips may lead to unintended complications."

Stepping forward, she effortlessly scooped the young girl into her arms. Despite carrying her weight, she handled it with ease, as if holding a delicate tuft of willow fluff. Her movements remained remarkably stable, exhibiting a solidity akin to cast iron.

Smiling at Yao Niang, she added, "Please, lead the way."

Originally, she could have chosen to withdraw once others made it clear that the incident had nothing to do with her.

However, driven by both curiosity about the unfolding developments and the desire to avoid triggering any negative side quest like "the other party said they didn't suspect, but seeing her leave in such a hurry, doubts inevitably arose," she decided to linger a bit longer, taking advantage of the opportunity to escort the injured back.

The guest rooms where the disciples of the Green Butterfly Palace were located had the best location, spacious surroundings, and lush vegetation.

As the group hurriedly arrived, most of them headed to the main house where Ah Zhuo was, while a few went to the side rooms. They tossed Lin Zhiqi inside to keep an eye on him and began questioning him about the reasons for his actions.

The saying went, "Help till the end" — in gaming terms, this would describe abandoning a mission halfway, ensuring you miss out on the most generous rewards. Meng Jintang stayed by Ah Zhuo's side, using his internal energy to protect her pulse.

Ah Zhuo was poisoned with a strong toxin, and although the attributes of cold and strong poisons counteract each other, Meng Jintang dared not mobilize too much true energy.

She didn't want the conflicting forces to harm the patient instead of helping, as the interaction between Yin and Yang was delicate.

A young girl went to the cabinet, searched for a while, and hurriedly walked out with a pale face, crying, "Sister Yao, that cursed little thief ruined the White Honey Seven-spiced Wine we brought!"

The calmness in her expression disappeared in this moment when her complexion suddenly changed.

Meng Jintang, listening to their conversation, gradually understood the situation. Since the toxicity from Ah Zhuo's body had already merged with the bloodstream, Yao Niang and the others planned to use the Green Moth Palace's secret bloodletting technique to detoxify the young master.

The white honey seven-spice wine, on the other hand, was a secret medicine that could quickly stimulate the blood within a short period – what players commonly refer to as a blood potion or healing potion.

Yao Niang muttered under her breath, "What... what should we do?!"

In the game setting of Martial Arts Ascension, Revitalizing Pills and Jade Pivot Pills were widely circulated general-use medications. Revitalizing Pills could restore ninety points of health in a single use.

Even if it was a less successful attempt at crafting a Small Revitalizing Pill, it could still replenish sixty points of health. Given the influence of the Green Moth Palace, obtaining several hundred of these for backup wasn't difficult.

Meng Jintang pondered briefly and quickly grasped the situation— for the NPCs, medicinal effects needed to be catalyzed by internal energy.

Otherwise, the speed of the medicine's efficacy would be slow, and the specific values likely had some relation to one's innate constitution.

With low-level medications, consuming too much at once could cause the medicinal properties to condense and disperse slowly, making it difficult to achieve a significant positive effect.

Since it wasn't an instantaneous effect, one had to consider the healing speed brought about by taking the medicine and whether it could surpass the bleeding speed caused by the negative state.

NPCs didn't have attribute panels, but Meng Jintang could roughly perceive the health bar length of the treated individual using [Medical Skill].

Taking Ah Zhuo as an example, the health bar length at full health was around 8000, which might not be scientifically accurate but had a distinct martial arts flavor.

Meng Jintang's own health was at 4500, just a little over half of Ah Zhuo's. Of course, the main reason for the current gap wasn't because Ah Zhuo's strength surpassed Meng Jintang's.

Instead, it was due to Meng Jintang's physical fitness being at the bottom among all attributes, following a very pure path of high offense and low defense.

Not to mention opponents with similar levels of mastery, even someone with martial arts skills a level or two lower would likely have a thicker health bar.

Ah Zhuo had two negative status effects at the moment: poison debuff and bleeding debuff. Her complexion was pale, and her vitality was rapidly declining.

Since the white honey seven-spice wine brought this time was damaged, Yao Niang, feeling helpless, could only temporarily administer some Revitalizing Pills to the young mistress to replenish his health.

The poison debuff would worsen as time progressed. In gaming terms, at the beginning, it might cause a loss of two or three points of health per second, but later on, it could escalate to five, six, or even more than ten points per second.

The longer it dragged on, the more severe the loss of vitality became.

Under normal circumstances, characters could slowly recover vitality over time. The higher the martial arts skill, the faster the recovery.

For example, Meng Jintang, despite the ongoing continuous health drain from the cold poison in her body, had profound internal energy. Her rate of vitality recovery was slightly higher than the rate of health loss, so it didn't pose much hindrance for the time being.

Ah Zhuo's martial arts skills were formidable, and practicing superior martial arts had given him a strong foundation. Up to this point, his health bar still had around one-third remaining.

Meng Jintang also noticed a detail. While her and Ah Zhuo's poisoning situations were somewhat similar, there were still differences in the details.

The poison in Ah Zhuo was relatively superficial, circulating only in the blood vessels, but in her case, the poison had already penetrated deeply. Even if she were to replace her entire blood supply, the newly generated blood would still carry the chill.

Actually, extracting the toxins from the bloodstream and researching an antidote was one way to solve the problem. However, the poison in Ah Zhuo was too complex.

Even if Meng Jintang had used all available cheat codes, fully dedicated herself to breaking through life skills, she wouldn't have been able to resolve it before Ah Zhuo's health reached critical levels.

As the deputy of Nanjia Fort, after escorting the person from the Green Moth Palace back, Zhou Chen obediently waited in the courtyard. He felt as if he were standing on hot coals— considering the delicate relationship between Nanjia Fort and the Green Moth Palace, Zhou Chen found himself in a difficult position.

Neither leaving nor staying felt appropriate. His gaze couldn't help but drift towards Meng Jintang, who was also an outsider. He saw the young lady sitting calmly by Ah Zhuo's sickbed, her demeanor composed and casual.

There was no sign of unease on her face, but occasional flashes of contemplation appeared in her eyes.

Martial artists had incredibly keen senses. When Meng Jintang noticed the gaze from outside the room, she glanced at the person, then looked to the side.

After some thought, Zhou Chen took a couple of steps forward, knocked on the door, and suggested, "Ladies from the Green Moth Palace, considering the sudden turn of events, should we consider inviting a nearby physician to take a look? Or perhaps inquire if the person who poisoned her brought an antidote?"

Yao Niang nodded and stood up. "I'll go check on that kid."

Zhou Chen's heart sank. The Green Moth Palace was known for its expertise in poison, and the suggestion to inquire about an antidote from the assailant raised the question: did they lack confidence in how to neutralize the poison in Ah Zhuo's body?

As Yao Niang passed by Zhou Chen, she paused and said, "If there are secret medicines in Nanjia Fort that can stimulate blood, I hope Mr. Zhou can provide them. The Green Moth Palace will surely remember this kindness."

Zhou Chen bowed. "Since the incident occurred within the fort, it is only right for Nanjia Fort to provide assistance. I won't hide it from you, Senior Sister. The Taoist Brother Zuo from the Seven Stars Sect and the divine physician, Master Chang, are currently within the fort. I am willing to invite them for you."

Zhou Chen's age was higher than that of Zuo Lingqiu and Yao Niang. The terms ‘Taoist Brother Zuo’ and ‘Senior Sister’ were not based on the actual age difference but rather on an acknowledgment of their respective positions in the martial world.

Meng Jintang, who had been continuously monitoring Ah Zhuo's pulse, coughed softly and said, "If it's just medicine to stimulate blood, I happen to have a few on me."

Typically, martial artists refrained from speaking while transmitting true qi. However, listening to Meng Jintang's voice, despite the slight huskiness from the cough, her tone remained steady, and her breath was continuous. Clearly, she was a formidable internal martial artist.
