Chapter 161 Arrangements Before Departure

The Wan She Pit was simple to deal with. All it required was to unearth the skeletons, bury them, and then fill it up. However, how to dispose of this blood pool, which looked so sinister, truly stumped them.

Su Muqing was being driven mad by the voice in her head. The moment she got close to the blood pool, 217 would incessantly issue warnings. This confirmed it was indeed highly toxic!

Ultimately, Su Muqing followed the prompts from 217. She purchased a large quantity of polyacrylic acid resin from the spatial mall.

This substance, also known as super absorbent polymer, was odorless and non-toxic. It came in small white granular or powdery strip-like particles and was a solid chemical substance. It possessed excellent water absorption and retention capabilities, capable of absorbing hundreds or even thousands of times its own weight in water, hence its nickname "super absorbent."

To avoid being affected by the toxic fumes, Lu Yuzhi and the others donned gas masks and isolation suits, fully equipped as they approached the blood pool. Then, from multiple directions, they poured the polyacrylic acid resin into the pool.

Within a short period, the foul-smelling blood, which had been churning, actually began to be gradually absorbed and finally solidified.

Once the blood pool was mostly solidified, Su Muqing liberally sprinkled a thick layer of quicklime on top as a simple measure for disinfection and sterilization.

Following that, the entire blood pool was sealed with cement, ensuring not a single drop of toxic liquid could leak out. This would bring everyone a greater sense of peace. With this done, the Thousand Poisons Cult had finally been dealt with. Now, it was up to the families of the victims to decide how to handle Chu Ruoqiao and the sect leaders.

In the evening, everyone had a simple meal. Once it was completely dark outside, the group cautiously carried all the injured to the assembly hall. Tonight, everyone would stay there to watch over them and see if there were any improvements.

During this time, Tian Ji Lao Ren gathered everyone to discuss how Hua Xia City should be constructed. To their surprise, Le Xiong and the others took the initiative to speak.

They stated that after consideration and discussion, they all agreed with Su Muqing's proposal from last night to integrate all forces. From now on, they would no longer be independent sects but soldiers of Hua Xia City!

In fact, Le Xiong and the others had already been very impressed with Su Muqing during the incident with the Japanese pirates. Now, coupled with her handling of the Thousand Poisons Cult, everyone felt a genuine admiration for her.

Especially considering her own diverse abilities. Whether it was her profound internal energy, medical skills, or those rare and magical items, it seemed as if nothing could stump her. As long as Su Muqing was willing, she could solve any problem!

Su Muqing was also surprised that they had agreed to form an army so quickly. However, this was a good thing for her, and she saw no need to probe further into why their opinions had changed so rapidly.

With the formation of the army confirmed, Su Muqing immediately presented the construction plans she had found and the architectural designs and layouts. She explained in detail the next steps and assigned tasks to see who would be responsible for which part of the work.

Now that the major issues in the no-man's-land had been resolved quite perfectly, they were preparing to set off for the Land of Tianzhao again. Their goal was to find the antidote as soon as possible and then hurry back.

However, their journey would take at least a few months. Su Muqing entrusted the supervision of the construction work to Tian Ji Lao Ren and the others. Gongsun Zan also indicated that if these people showed signs of recovery, he would first return to Yi Xian Valley to relocate his sect. He even jokingly asked Su Muqing to set aside a piece of land for him.

With a divine physician secured, a hospital was a must!

Su Muqing thought about Lin Rongrong constantly getting injured along the way, and their time was very tight. Therefore, she discussed with the two and decided that Su Cuiping and the others would not accompany them this time. They would stay in Hua Xia City and wait for their return.

Once the situation stabilized, they could plan a relaxed outing together.

Of the remaining ten guards, only Leng Ren and Leng Feng would accompany them. The rest would stay behind to receive their tasks.

Firstly, they would be responsible for building Hua Xia City. It was best to have trusted individuals overseeing and coordinating everything. Moreover, having spent more time with Su Muqing, they were better at understanding and learning from the things she presented.

Secondly, the army was about to be established. She instructed Lao San to rush back to Song Lin County to see if the Da Yu Dynasty's government had any plans for resettling the refugees.

If the local government continued to expel refugees, they would contact Zhengyi Village and have them accept the homeless refugees, bringing them to relocate here to increase Hua Xia City's population.

This was where Tong Lesheng's task came into play. After Su Muqing and the others departed, he would return to Cang Mu County to act as the liaison. Once the main group arrived at Cang Mu County, he needed to find a way to safely bring them to Hua Xia City, minimizing any significant commotion!

At the same time, they were to notify Uncle Xu. The southern gate of Guang Ping Prefecture and Zhengyi Mountain Villa in Song Lin County were also to begin their operations, actively recruiting talented individuals and rapidly expanding their strength. However, with Uncle Xu and the Huo family army overseeing things, it was believed there shouldn't be any major problems.

Su Muqing stayed up all night, discussing with everyone until past four in the morning. She told everyone else to get some rest and then sat alone, contemplating in her mind whether anything was missed or needed to be added, while also observing the condition of the children to see if they had improved.

As dawn broke the next day, everyone came to inquire about the condition of the women and children. Fortunately, heaven had been merciful. After Su Muqing scanned each of them with her detector, she found that the cells in everyone's bodies were replicating. This indicated that the mucus had indeed been effective.

Even the woman who had stopped breathing after being sunburnt had miraculously recovered her pulse. It was unclear why, despite the spiritual spring water encountering美人线 (mei ren xian - beauty line/thread), Chu Ruoqiao's face was burned, while these people were reborn!

Was this the saying, "Look up and heaven will spare you"?

Su Muqing took out another bottle of spiritual medicine and had them dissolve it in water to feed the patients. Leng Ren and the others looked at her extravagant use of resources and felt their hearts ache.

After all, none of them had woken up yet, so they needed to be administered medicine twice a day, consuming half a bottle each time. Su Muqing had only exchanged two bottles of each item earlier, and now they were almost depleted.

Su Muqing also felt a pang of regret. If not for the incredibly powerful Mermaid King as her backer, allowing her to purchase items from the Cultivation Trade Pavilion with spirit stones, she truly couldn't afford any of it!

However, these were external possessions; how could they be more important than human lives? Wasn't the meaning of her existence in this world to protect them? One must have a spirit of great love…

Just as Su Muqing was basking in her own kindness and generosity, 217泼了一盆冷水 (po le yi pen leng shui - poured a basin of cold water, meaning to dampen enthusiasm or bring down to earth).

It actually stated that to maintain the life signs of those people, only one of each item was needed, dissolved in water and diluted. Because the medicines in the cultivation world were already concentrated, the effects were the same, and there was no need to use so much.

Su Muqing was furious upon hearing this and even entered her space to argue with 217. She cursed it for its late information, causing her to waste so much spiritual medicine.

217, of course, did not argue with her. It simply replied with a matter-of-fact tone, "Because you didn't ask, I didn't say. You should have asked me! Ask me! Whatever you want to know, ask me! How would I know if you don't ask…?"

217's words made Su Muqing reel in anger! Was this thing recently watching Journey to the West: The Monkey King? But what could she say? She could only obediently contact Luo Li again.

Unexpectedly, Luo Li said he was going into seclusion for advancement and didn't know when he would emerge. Therefore, this time he directly gave Su Muqing a large quantity of elixirs, with the total number being x9999!

He also gifted her several Qiankun storage bags. Although their capacity wasn't comparable to her spatial dimension, they were still incredibly spacious. Additionally, he gave her some treasures that could be used without spiritual energy. Each of these items was a priceless treasure in this world.

Luo Li looked at the small mountain of snacks behind the screen, which Su Muqing couldn't see. Especially the boxes and boxes of chocolate. He withdrew his gaze and looked at Su Muqing's face with a doting expression.

The first time he had casually mentioned that the taste was quite special, Su Muqing had sent him 999 boxes of chocolate of different flavors the next day, almost making his teeth fall out from sweetness!

After chatting with Luo Li for a while, he was about to begin his seclusion. Su Muqing reluctantly bid him farewell, reminding him to leave her a message after his advancement. However, considering that people in the cultivation world typically spent at least decades in seclusion, with centuries being commonplace,

Su Muqing couldn't help but wonder if she would still be alive by then. If not, wouldn't this be their last meeting? Luo Li must have also thought of this, which was why he prepared so many things for her, right?

After the call ended, Su Muqing felt a sense of loss. She went to the living area to play with Xiao Nai Bao and Fei La for a while, to regulate her mood, and then began to work on other matters.

After coaxing Xiao Nai Bao to sleep, Su Muqing purchased supplies from the mall according to the list on her detailed plan.

Fortunately, there were also very skilled craftsmen building houses in Hua Xia City. When they started discussing last night, Su Muqing was surprised to discover that Hua Xia City was full of hidden talents!

She only needed to hand over the detailed blueprints to the craftsmen and provide the materials herself. All other issues would be completely taken care of without her needing to worry.
