Chapter 587: Teaching the Immortal Technique
In the dimly lit prison cell, the old imperial physician’s hands were bound with iron chains, rendering him immobile.
A man from the prison department held a jade bottle in his hand and shook it gently as he asked in a cold tone, “I will ask you one last time, who sent you to infiltrate the palace?”
The old imperial physician replied weakly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I am the royal physician of the palace. You can’t treat me like that.”
“Even at this point, you still want to play dumb. If you were just an ordinary doctor, why would you have this in your medicine box?” The man held the jade bottle in front of the old Imperial Doctor. However, the contents of the jade bottle was not the Resurrection Incense, but the sap of the Ghost Fire Vine.
When Qin Feng, Deng Mo and Eunuch Li secretly discussed the matter, they came up with a plan to lure the snake out of its hole.
Although Resurrection Incense is colourless and tasteless, making it difficult to detect, it is also a double-edged sword.
It is highly poisonous and cannot be avoided by holding one’s breath.
Therefore, the person poisoning others must often apply the sap of the Ghost Fire Vine between their nostrils to resist the toxicity of Resurrection Incense.
The sap of the Ghost Fire Vine itself does not have a specific smell, but when mixed with the scent of the Blue Narcissus, it becomes a pungent smell.
