“Young Master.” Qing’er asked anxiously, “They were fine just a moment ago, why did they suddenly collapse?”
Qin Feng hurriedly checked the conditions of the people.
Rapid breathing, body heat, redness of the skin, as if infected by fever.
But how could the fever symptoms occur so quickly?
“What’s going on with this snow?”
Qin Feng furrowed his brows, immediately commanding, “Qing’er, and the rest of you, quickly go down and tell everyone in the mansion not to touch this snow. Also, move all the fainting people in the mansion to the hall.”
“Yes, Young Master.” The people responded one after another.
As if recalling something, Qin Feng reminded, “Remember, when moving these people, don’t directly touch them with your hands. It’s better to wrap them in a layer of cloth, understand?”
“Understood!”
Watching the hurried figures of the people leaving, Qin Feng looked at his own fingers, showing a puzzled expression.“I clearly touched this thing too, why am I fine? Could it be that this gray snow, like the white mist of that immortal technique, only affects ordinary people?”
Uncertain about the source of this snow, Qin Feng didn’t dare to casually reach out and personally verify.
He glanced at the sky; the gray snow fell like goose feathers. In a moment, the entire city of Jinyang was covered in a layer of gray gauze.
“This time, I don’t know how many people will suffer.” Qin Feng frowned, sighing.
“Master, what should we do?” In the hall, Second Madam looked at the servants on the ground in pain, feeling extremely anxious.
Seeing this, the father comforted, “Madam, don’t worry. Have you forgotten? Our Feng’er is skilled in medicine. He can even heal damaged meridians, let alone a fever.”
“Yes, yes, I almost forgot about that. But where is Feng’er?” Second Madam looked outside the hall, seeming to think of something, worrying, “Feng’er, he wouldn’t have contracted this illness too, right?”
Hearing this, Black Charcoal Head immediately said, “I’ll go find Young Master!”
Just then, a familiar voice entered the hall, “No need, I’m here.”
“Big Brother!” The second brother turned to look outside the hall and called excitedly.
Seeing the newcomer, Second Madam patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, “Thank goodness Feng’er is okay.”
Qin Feng stepped into the hall, nodded to the family members, then he looked at the people on the ground, a dozen or so in total.
“Fortunately, it’s a bit fewer than expected.” He lightly breathed out, crouched down, opened his eyes with a special ability, and began to examine the bodies of the people.
“Heart rate accelerated, pulse disorder, hmm? What is this red energy circulating in their bodies? Could it be the cause of the fever? No, their body temperature is too high now; if this continues, their bodies will be burnt.”
Qin Feng’s face looked unpleasant; he commanded, “Quick, bring some ice and towels, and start cooling them down. Be cautious, there’s still uncertainty about whether this fever is contagious or not!”
“Okay!” The servants quickly moved into action.
At the same time, Qin Feng asked, “Second Brother, Black Charcoal Head, did you two touch that gray snow while practicing in the courtyard?”
Second Brother shook his head and replied, “When the gray snow was about to fall into the courtyard, it was dispersed by Master’s remaining Knife Qi. It didn’t fall into the courtyard at all.”
The second brother’s reference to “Knife Qi” naturally points to Divine General Zhen Tianyi’s. Although the Grand Master has not yet forged the knife, the master-disciple relationship between Senior Mad Blade and the Second Brother is undoubtedly confirmed.
Qin Feng, upon hearing this, felt relieved, but at the same time, a trace of worry crossed his eyes.
Because the two had not come into contact with the gray snow, he could not determine whether this strange snow would have an effect on martial artists.
Suddenly, Qin Feng widened his eyes because he had finally found the source of the strange red energy in these people.
It was on the surface of their skin, a faint red mark, resembling a burn!
“This strange mark is certainly caused by these people touching the gray snow. Just touching it can cause infection, and the symptoms appear extremely quickly. This doesn’t seem like an illness; it’s more like a poison.”
In Qin Feng’s eyes, as he looked deeper into the marks, this poison had penetrated through the skin and into the flesh and bones.
A continuous stream of red energy engulfed the bodies of the infected, causing them unbearable pain.
“It seems that to save these people, we must eliminate this poison from their bodies. But specifically, how to do it?” Qin Feng frowned in contemplation.
In the past, the conditions he encountered had some references in the medical books he had studied.
However, this peculiar gray snow brought about a fever, and there was no mention of such a case or any annotations in the books.
In other words, he had to figure it out for himself!
“The methods for dealing with poison can generally be divided into two types.
One is to understand its properties, formulate another antidote, and neutralize it.
The other is to find a way to force the poison out of the body.
However, this poison is brought by the gray snow, not the usual poison from plants or animals. If we can’t find the source of the gray snow, how can we understand its properties?”
As for the second method…”
Just as Qin Feng was deep in thought, a powerful aura above the Qin residence dispersed the falling gray snow.
A figure in white, carrying the Lan Ningshaung, landed outside the hall.
“Something is wrong with Ningshuang.” Liu Jianli expressed concern.
When Qin Feng heard this, he looked at Lan Ningshuang and saw that the latter’s face was flushed and she had a painful expression on her face.
He hurried forward to check, and his face darkened: “Same symptoms as the others.”
He opened Lan Ningshuang’s sleeves, and faint red marks were visible on her pure jade arms.
“There are actually so many?” Qin Feng exclaimed.
“Imperial City rarely experiences snow, and outside the mountains of the Myriad Sword Sect, there are sword formations surrounding them, maintaining a constant climate throughout the four seasons. Ningshaung, rarely seeing snowfall, got a bit excited.”
“This… “
Ningshaungs must have been a beautiful southern girl in her previous life.Qin Feng sighed inwardly.
Suddenly, a bright idea flashed in his mind.
“Wait a minute, ordinary people can be infected with this poison, and martial artists can also be infected. In other words, this poison does not distinguish between ordinary people and cultivators. But I touched the gray snow, and nothing happened to me?”
Qin Feng stood up, his eyes shining brightly: “The biggest difference between me and them is that I follow the tradition of the Literary Sage’s cultivation, and I possess Literature Qi in my body.
Could it be that this poison cannot infect Literature Qi?
Moreover, could it be that Literature Qi is its nemesis?
With this speculation in mind, he couldn’t wait to verify it.
However, because this was only a speculation, conducting experiments directly on a person was definitely not feasible.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng looked outside the hall at the drifting heavy snow!
“Let’s give it a try!”
Seeing his actions, the crowd was greatly alarmed.
This gray snow was not a benevolent substance!
Just as Second Mother was about to speak up to stop him, his father interrupted: “Feng’er knows his limits; let him go.”
Then, Qin Feng’s fingertips condensed a White Inch.
Carefully, he extended a foot-long white inch and touched it to the gray snow.
To everyone’s surprise, the gray snow rapidly melted at a visible speed, and in just a few breaths, it disappeared completely.
“Indeed!” Qin Feng shouted excitedly.
