The Genius Mage

"Who are you!" Seeing that Audrey was wearing clothes that were different from those of the Herb King Valley, the Valley Master revealed a frightened expression. He wanted to scold her harshly, but his body was too weak.

Seeing this, a hint of uneasiness flashed across Audrey's eyes. She was about to speak when the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. Soon after, a group of people barged in.

It looked like there were other Elders and a group of disciples.

More than a dozen people quickly surrounded Audrey, holding their weapons in their hands. "Who are you? How dare you barge into the Valley Master's room?"

"What did you do to the Valley Master?"

...

A series of interrogations made Audrey feel helpless. She did not know how to speak, and she still had the blood of the Valley Master in her hands.

At this moment, Moka also hurriedly walked in. When he saw Audrey, his eyes revealed a hint of surprise, followed by displeasure. "Miss Audrey, why are you here!? Didn't you say that you have no ill intentions?"

Finally, someone who could speak was here. Audrey sighed helplessly and said, "Indeed, I have no ill intentions. I just heard that the Valley Master of your valley is sick. Coincidentally, I know some medical skills, so I came to take a look."

"Heh! You little girl, what medical skills do you know? We as Elders have studied it for half a year, but we still haven't been able to cure the Valley Master." The person who said this was a man with a long beard. He looked to be in his fifties or sixties.

Upon hearing this, the other Elders chimed in as well.

"I don't think you're here to harm the Valley Master. You're not a member of our Herb King Valley either. What exactly is your motive!" It was still that Elder who spoke in a stern voice.

"I don't have any motive. If the Elders don't believe me, then forget it." Audrey snorted coldly and said unhappily. Her azure eyes narrowed as she sized up the Elder who had spoken first, feeling slightly uneasy.

"Of course I don't believe you."

Audrey ignored him and only looked at Moka. He looked like a reasonable person. Perhaps he would be easier to talk to.

"If you believe me, then listen to me. If you don't believe me, then take it as me saying it for nothing."

Audrey said slowly, "Your Valley Master wasn't sick, but poisoned. The Valley Master ate purple-blue leaves and Fire Spirit Fruits at the same time. Later, he thought he was sick and began to use medicine which resulted in the poisoning."

It was not difficult to explain this medicine theory. At least, people with good medical skills knew it.

Upon hearing Audrey's words, Moka's expression changed instantly. For the past half a year, they had thought that the Valley Master had some strange illness. He had not improved after repeated use of medicine, but they had never thought that he had been poisoned.

This was because the Valley Master's medical skills were outstanding. He was also very good at distinguishing between herbs. If it was a poisonous herb, he would not have easily tried to poison himself. That was why no one had thought that he had been poisoned.

However, Audrey's words reminded Moka. However, how could the Valley Master be poisoned by such a strange poison?

"Do you think that being poisoned means being poisoned?" The white-bearded Elder said in a bad mood.

"If you don't believe me, you can verify it and see if it's poison." Audrey glanced at him coldly, her tone calm.

By the side, Moka fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said decisively, "Someone, verify if the Valley Master is poisoned and what kind of poison he has been poisoned by."

As soon as he said that, the white-bearded Elder immediately revealed an anxious expression. He stood in front of the Valley Master and said, "You can't! The Valley Master has been seriously ill for half a year. He can't afford to suffer anymore. How can you easily believe the words of an outsider and attack the Valley Master?"

"Martial Master, it shouldn't be a problem to verify if the Valley Master was poisoned." Moka was stunned for a moment before he said awkwardly.

"None of us Elders could see that the Valley Master is poisoned. What can a little girl like her see? Don't listen to her nonsense and talk nonsense. I think she must have some ulterior motive." The white-bearded Elder quickly pointed his spear at Audrey and attacked her.

Audrey's expression sank. She had no enmity with the Elders. She had just barged into the Valley Master's room. Why did he have to be so persistent?

If it was for the Valley Master's good, why did he not give it a try? Or did he have a guilty conscience?

"It's just a test to see if he's poisoned. It doesn't affect the Valley Master that much. Elder, you've stopped me and attacked me many times. Could it be that you have other intentions?" Audrey snorted coldly, and the corners of her mouth curled into a frivolous smile, a few words had stirred up the hearts of the people present.

Everyone looked at the white-bearded Elder with strange gazes.

"Elder Yuan, she's right. It shouldn't be a problem to give the Valley Master a test."

"That's right. Perhaps there really is a turning point."

...

Seeing that everyone was speaking to Audrey, the white-bearded Elder's expression turned even uglier. It was not a matter of advancing or retreating.

"Martial Master, move aside." Moka walked forward with a slightly unyielding attitude.

The white-bearded Elder could only walk to the side resentfully.

The Herb King Valley had a unique poison detection method. It was to insert dozens of silver needles into a person's meridians to see if they were poisoned. For safety reasons, Moka had acted personally.

As the Valley Master's first disciple, no one dared to question his medical skills.

After a series of operations, the silver needles had already entered the Valley Master's body.

Not long after, dark black blood slowly emerged from the place where the silver needles were inserted. It looked particularly disgusting.
