Farm Girl's Manor

Mo Yan was taken aback and shook her head in the hopeful gaze of the Punishing Shopkeeper, "I can’t do it anymore. The medicinal water I gave you before is already the most potent that I can concoct right now. Punishing Shopkeeper, are you asking this because that medicinal water has lost its effect again?"

The Punishing Shopkeeper nodded, his expression becoming extremely solemn, "Miss Mo, truly, there’s no way to make the potency any stronger?"

Mo Yan furrowed her brows tightly and said, "Punishing Shopkeeper, forgive me for being nosy, but what kind of illness has your master’s friend contracted that he continues to use the medicinal water without cessation?"

He had been using the Spirit Spring Water for a year now, and even if the Spirit Spring Water couldn’t cure the disease, using it for detoxifying and nourishing the body shouldn’t have become ineffective. But now it was ineffective, which could only mean that the person’s body had deteriorated to such a degree that even the Spirit Spring Water couldn’t reverse it.

The Punishing Shopkeeper glanced at her and didn’t hide the truth, "It’s not an illness, but a poisoning, a very overbearing poison with no known cure!"

Poisoning? No cure?

Mo Yan became ever more puzzled. Even if someone was poisoned severely to the point of no known cure, the Spirit Spring Water shouldn’t be ineffective, should it?

Perhaps seeing the confusion in her expression, the Punishing Shopkeeper explained gravely, "The poison took hold in childhood and has already seeped into the internal organs, becoming one with flesh and bone, rendering it nearly impossible to extract! The medicinal water you formulated has already neutralized the toxins that were in the bloodstream, but it’s useless against the toxins hidden in the internal organs."
