The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth - Chapter 292
292. Tampering
The current situation is urgent, and Liu Shuqin and the others are tirelessly working on developing an antidote.
They are trying to develop a potion to break the curse based on the suggestions of the immortals.
The results are predictable, repeated failures.
Lin Nuo just smiled secretly, thinking that these people would never be able to create it after everyone in the city had died.
The lethal effect of the Blood Splitting Curse is quite slow; it is a chronic curse, and it takes some time to be fatal.
However, during the period of the Blood Splitting Curse, the blood energy of the affected people slowly flows out, and then it is naturally absorbed by Yu Sha, making him stronger.
Lin Nuo speculated about Yu Sha’s general plan: the first wave of victims would be the citizens of the city, killing them first, absorbing their blood energy, becoming stronger, and then moving on to the second wave of targets.
The second wave of targets would be the experts in the Lin family mansion and other strong individuals who survived the first wave of the Blood Splitting Curse. As long as he becomes stronger, his Blood Splitting Curse will be even harder to break with one’s own spiritual power.
Step by step, advancing steadily, this Yu Sha has a bit of a villainous demeanor.
Lin Nuo walked to Liu Shuqin’s pharmacy. Seeing Lin Nuo coming, the distressed Liu Shuqin quickly put down her work to greet him.
“Junior brother, you’re here, please sit down.”
Liu Shuqin hurriedly entertained, pouring tea for Lin Nuo, and there were some pastries on the table, which she also handed to Lin Nuo.
“Junior brother, this place is simple, please don’t mind.”
“I don’t mind, it’s quite good.”
Lin Nuo sat down, did not drink tea immediately, and instinctively took out a long needle to test it.
Liu Shuqin covered her mouth and chuckled:
“Oh, junior brother is really cautious. Don’t worry, this tea is brewed with Shili’s water, there is no problem.”
“Better to be cautious.”
Lin Nuo took out the long needle and looked at it.
It didn’t change color, so it was safe to drink.
Only then did Lin Nuo dare to drink the tea, taking a small sip and exhaling deeply.
Not bad, the tea brewed by Liu Shuqin was still of high quality, the fragrant tea entered the mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance.
“How is the progress of the medicine refining now?” Lin Nuo asked with concern.
“Not optimistic, tried many methods, but none succeeded, quite a few side effects, I feel sorry for the people.”
“It’s okay, it’s not your fault, just do your best.”
Lin Nuo appeared to be concerned, but in fact, he was secretly delighted.
If they can’t figure it out, that’s great. It would be best if they never figure it out, and the whole city perishes.
“Thank you for your concern, junior brother. Alas, in the face of such a disaster, I always feel my own incompetence.”
Liu Shuqin sighed lightly. At this moment, a physician came over and knocked on the door of Liu Shuqin’s pharmacy:
“Miss Liu, Dr. Wu is looking for you. Please go over.”
Liu Shuqin nodded in acknowledgment:
“Yes, yes, I’ll go over in a moment.”
The physician left, and Liu Shuqin turned to Lin Nuo, speaking softly:
“Sorry, junior brother, I have something to attend to right now, so I can’t accompany you. If you don’t mind, you can stay here, and I’ll be back soon. By the way, I’m still brewing medicine, could you please keep an eye on the fire for me?”
“Sure.”
Lin Nuo nodded, and Liu Shuqin left the pharmacy.
The pharmacy wasn’t large, but everything was neatly arranged. Liu Shuqin, being a lady of a respectable family, naturally paid attention to the cleanliness of the room.
This was her exclusive pharmacy, with no one else around. She usually studied medicine here, with various medical books and detailed, neat notes on the table.
She studied the books very seriously and listed many prescriptions that conformed to medical principles. The medicine she was currently brewing was also based on one of these prescriptions.
Lin Nuo roughly looked at the prescriptions she had written. None of them could cure the Blood Split Curse.
However, there was one prescription that contained the necessary ingredients to break the Blood Split Curse, but it was incomplete. Even if it was brewed, it wouldn’t be effective.
It seemed very close, but it was actually far off.
The missing ingredients were crucial. Currently, they still needed Ghost Wind Grass and Li Ren Gan, but these two ingredients, when mixed with the original prescription, would have severe side effects and could be fatal.
Of course, this was according to general medical principles.
Due to the constraints of medical principles, few people would take such a risk. As a physician, one would definitely choose a medicine with fewer side effects that could still be effective.
A great physician wouldn’t do something as reckless as treating a dead horse as if it were alive.
And Liu Shuqin, with her kind heart, wouldn’t think in this direction.
Lin Nuo wasn’t worried. In any case, the medicine couldn’t be brewed successfully. He just had to watch the show.
“Senior sister, are you there?”
Su Kexin came over with a basket of herbs and knocked on the pharmacy door.
She didn’t see Liu Shuqin but found Lin Nuo inside.
“Senior brother, why are you here? Where’s senior sister?”
“She had something to do and went out for a while. I’m helping her watch the fire. What’s up?”
“Well, I was delivering herbs for them. Here are the herbs senior sister wanted. I need to give them to her.”
“Just leave them here. I’ll tell her when she comes back.”
“Oh, okay, senior brother, sorry to trouble you.”
Su Kexin took some herbs from the medicine basket and placed them on the table, then turned and left.
Lin Nuo walked over to see what was there.
Some precious herbs, but they had nothing to do with removing the Blood Split Curse this time.
However, after he flipped through the herbs, he was surprised to find Ghost Wind Grass and Li Ren Gan mixed in!
“This…”
Lin Nuo was a bit surprised, these two crucial herbs were actually here!
What’s going on, could it be that Liu Shuqin had already understood this miraculous prescription?
Lin Nuo wasn’t sure, but with his villainous mindset, he definitely thought so.
If these two herbs were combined with the previous prescription and boiled together, it could break the Blood Split Curse.
Fortunately, he came, otherwise, she might have actually succeeded.
Heaven helps him, Liu Shuqin happened to be away, so he could do some tampering.
Destroy the medicinal effects of these two herbs, add them to the decoction, and if it doesn’t work, Liu Shuqin would naturally dismiss this plan.
Very good.
Lin Nuo quickly closed the pharmacy door, then started tampering, using a little trick to damage these two herbs, and then put them back in place.
It had been a long time since he used this method, he was a bit rusty, and there were some slight traces on the surface of the herbs, if looked at carefully, one could see something was wrong.
No matter, she probably wouldn’t carefully inspect every herb.
After Lin Nuo finished tampering, he casually watched the fire. After a long time, Liu Shuqin returned.

“Sorry, junior brother, for keeping you waiting.”
“No, I’m going to my mother’s place now, excuse me.”
Lin Nuo said, then got up and left. It was also time to go see his mother, to prevent any trouble.
After Lin Nuo left, Liu Shuqin found some herbs on the table, puzzled:
“Hmm, whose herbs are these?”
At this moment, Su Kexin ran over anxiously:
“Oh no, senior sister, sorry, I delivered the wrong herbs. These are not for you, yours are here, I need to take these back to Doctor Zhou.”
Su Kexin hurriedly took out some other herbs from the medicine basket and handed them to Liu Shuqin, just about to take back the original herbs.
“Wait, Kexin, did you go through these herbs?”
Liu Shuqin noticed the details.
