Reverse War Surpass Immortal

After a while, Duoling took Duan Gujin and Meng Yun to meet the Monarch.

They met the Monarch in a luxurious room in the Imperial Palace. Upon seeing Duan Gujin, the Monarch expressed his gratitude for Duan Gujin's recent intervention and offered to reward him with some treasures.

Duan Gujin slightly furrowed his brows, and said to the Monarch, "Your Majesty, I have just examined your body and discovered that you have been poisoned with a chronic poison. This type of chronic poison is not ordinary; it requires prolonged exposure to gradually develop an incurable toxicity within the body!"

"What? Is that so?"

The Monarch looked terrified and quickly asked Duoling.

Duoling promptly nodded and said, "Yes! Yes! It should be so. I have been thinking about it for a long time and couldn't understand what was going on. Duan Gujin, do you know how to detoxify?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, judging from Duoling's expression that he truly was unaware.

He exhaled and said, "Your Majesty, I have an impolite request. Please take me to the places where you frequently spend time. You only become poisoned from prolonged exposure to the substance causing this chronic poisoning. If the exposure is brief, it won't affect your body. I suspect that someone has deliberately placed these substances in areas where you often are!"

"What?"

Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, both the Monarch and Meng Yun's expressions changed drastically.

"Meng Yun, please, you must save my father!"

Realizing her father was deeply poisoned, Meng Yun immediately urged Duan Gujin to save her father's life.

"Of course! What you need to do now is take me to the places where you usually spend time! I want to know what exactly nearby could be causing this chronic poisoning."

"Alright!"

The Monarch promptly agreed and then proceeded to take Duan Gujin around the Imperial Palace.

"This is my Academy!"

A moment later, the Monarch brought Duan Gujin to his Academy.

With an extremely sensitive nose, Duan Gujin detected a faint scent of incense in the study.

"Do you burn sandalwood here?" Duan Gujin asked.

"Yes!" the Monarch replied hastily.

"I smell something unusual in the sandalwood; please, Your Majesty, have someone bring this sandalwood here!" Duan Gujin stated.

"Alright!"

Immediately, the nearby eunuch was ordered by the Monarch to bring all the sandalwood to Duan Gujin for inspection.

After checking for a while, Duan Gujin said, "Your Majesty, please have all this sandalwood destroyed and replace it with other incense. This sandalwood contains a chronic poison that will slowly poison Bi Xian!"

"Alright! Have someone dispose of all this sandalwood!"

Fearful, the Monarch hastily ordered the eunuchs to destroy all the sandalwood.

"Duoling, you must find out who poisoned the Monarch's sandalwood," Duan Gujin said after inspecting the incense, convinced that it all contained chronic poison.

Clearly, the person who poisoned it must have bribed someone within the Imperial Palace.

The Monarch wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, realizing that he was constantly inhaling 'poison.'

Duan Gujin then had the Monarch continue to take him around, and soon, they arrived at the Monarch's garden.

"I often come here to sit in the evenings."

Duan Gujin swept his gaze around and found himself in a vast garden filled with a faint fragrance that permeated the air.

"Duoling, you should also walk around and see if there are any unusual plants!"

Duan Gujin said.

"Okay!"

Duoling followed Duan Gujin and walked through the garden. After a while, he indeed discovered a black plant.

"My God! I didn't expect to find Soul-breaking Grass here!"

Duoling, looking at the Soul-breaking Grass in his hands, was shocked.

Duan Gujin continued to search the garden and made another discovery — he found a plant with an exceptionally strong fragrance, the Deep Blue Strange Flower.

"Please ask the Monarch to have this Deep Blue Strange Flower removed! This flower can slowly poison you!" Duan Gujin said.

"Okay!"

While looking at the Deep Blue Strange Flower, now deemed necessary to be eradicated by Duan Gujin, the Monarch couldn't help but ask.

"This doctor, I am puzzled, can you tell me why this Deep Blue Strange Flower must be removed?"

Duan Gujin quickly explained, "Although the Deep Blue Strange Flower itself is not poisonous, if its fragrance mixes with many other plants, it becomes toxic! Not only is there a Deep Blue Strange Flower here, but there's also Soul-breaking Grass. It seems someone knows the Monarch's habits, and thus arranged these items that can cause chronic poisoning! As long as Your Majesty no longer comes into contact with these things, the severe poison inside your body will slowly dissolve. I will prescribe some Elixir Recipes for you, and as long as you follow the prescriptions faithfully, the chronic poison in your body will gradually dissipate!"

Duan Gujin said lightly.

Shortly thereafter, Duan Gujin wrote down the Detoxification Pill Formula on a piece of paper, and he had Duoling go prepare the Detoxification Elixir.

When they left the Imperial Palace, Duoling escorted Duan Gujin back.

Reflecting on the events of the day, Duoling still felt a lingering fear, his heart still pounding violently.

Duan Gujin said lightly, "Duoling, when you are with the Monarch in the future, you must be more vigilant to prevent the Monarch from being harmed to death!"

"Yes, yes!" Duoling wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling relieved that so much had happened today, and in the end, the Monarch had not killed him.

Duoling understood very well that the Monarch was a tyrant who could easily have someone beheaded.

"Being with the Monarch is like accompanying a tiger!" Duoling sighed deeply.

"Yes!"

Duan Gujin nodded firmly.

In his previous life, Duan Gujin had no idea what had happened in the court of Country Gulai.

Although he was reborn, he truly did not know what the future of Country Gulai would be like.

Seeing that Duan Gujin had stolen the spotlight at the banquet and having witnessed Duan Gujin being very close to Meng Yun, Cao Wentian grew even more resentful towards Duan Gujin.

Thus, he had his subordinates brainstorm for him.

Among his two important strategists, one was rather unreliable — this strategist was the very same who had advised Cao Wentian last time.

"It seems the Young Master must eliminate Duan Gujin soon!" that strategist pondered for a moment, then said.

"Nonsense, of course, I know I have to get rid of Duan Gujin soon! I just want to know how to do it," Cao Wentian said irritably.

"That Princess Meng Yun and Duan Gujin are certainly very close. I think the reason Duan Gujin is so capable indicates that someone in the Duan Family is likely a High-level Alchemist, and that High-level Alchemist is definitely stronger than Duoling. I have asked others, Duan Gujin is exceptionally skilled in Alchemy. Princess Meng Yun and Duan Gujin share a common language in Alchemy. I think, Young Master, you must eliminate Duan Gujin before they develop mutual admiration. Otherwise, Young Master, you'll be wearing a green hat!"

said the strategist.
