Chapter 12 She Was Poisoned
In the evening, the winter sky was gloomy.

"Miss Six, today's dinner is here, it was ordered by the Duke himself." A maid outside the door shouted.

She stuffed the food in through the open gap of the door, followed by the sound of footsteps leaving.

Qin Manjing went to the door to get today's food, and used the two wooden sticks she picked up to block the door.This will prevent Qin Zhen and others from breaking in easily after getting the key.

Inside the house, Qin Manjing looked at the food box with clear wooden texture on the table, and felt that it did not belong to the household of the master of Duke Qin's mansion, but more like a food box used by servants.

Maybe Qin Guogong felt that she was only worthy of using slaves' things.

However, her current situation is not even comparable to that of a slave.In any case, it was much better than the usual leftovers. It seems that Qin Guogong sent some food specially when he saw that she was dying.

After opening it, there were some foods that she hadn't eaten for a long time, steaming hot, with a tempting aroma.

But Qin Manjing only ate a small dish of it, and the rest was still in the food box. It can be stored for a long time in winter weather, so that there will be food for the next few meals.

【Host, I thought you would eat it all in one sitting. 】

Qin Manjing gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a kerchief with snagged edges, her eyes were very calm.

"I also really want to eat it all in one go, but right now I am no longer qualified to seek pleasure. I am very afraid of losing everything suddenly, not even a bowl of rice."

After hearing this, the system quickly encouraged her.

[Host, there may be bigu pills as rewards in future missions.So as long as you do the task well, you won't be hungry anymore.If the host cultivates Immortal Bigu by himself in the future, he will not feel hungry even if he does not eat. 】

"Is Bigu Dan refined by immortal practitioners?" Qin Manjing asked it while putting away the food box.

[If the host can also enter the Tao and become a cultivator, then you can also refine these pills yourself.However, refining the elixir requires materials, and rewards for subsequent tasks will appear. 】

Immediately, Qin Manjing became more interested in cultivating immortals.

It's just that as a mortal who has never been in contact with cultivating immortals, she needs to make more efforts to get started.

After eating, she took out the "Basic Cheats of Immortal Cultivation" to read, and the system stayed quietly in her mind without disturbing her.

Qin Manjing imitated the posture in the book, with her legs crossed, her palms up, her whole body relaxed and breathing, trying to experience the mysterious realm mentioned in the book.

But after a while, she didn't feel anything.

However, Qin Manjing is a very conscientious person, she always has to try and try again when dealing with one thing, and will not give up easily.

In any case, she had nothing to lose.

So for her now, being able to practice is earning money.

Suddenly she felt a pain in her upper abdomen, and a gust of hot air gushed out of her chest cavity.Qin Manjing spat out a mouthful of blood in a 'wow'.

"puff……"

As she leaned forward as she vomited blood, the blood flowed all over the floor.

At first glance, it is very scary.

Qin Manjing wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, and asked weakly, "Am I insane?"

[Host, mortals will not go crazy. 】

Qin Manjing spat out a mouthful of blood, her abdomen was in burning pain.There seemed to be a fire burning in her chest.

"What's wrong with me? Is it because I'm not suitable for cultivating immortals?" She smiled wryly, with a little loss in her eyes.

[Host, since you are still a mortal, vomiting blood can only be due to a problem with your body. 】

After hearing what it said, Qin Manjing's face changed. If she is not suitable for cultivating immortals, then she is not.

But if that wasn't the case, for mortals, spitting out a mouthful of blood for no reason could be fatal.

"What's wrong with me?" Qin Manjing's expression was a little serious.

[For the safety of the host, the system can conduct an all-round, multi-dimensional, and high-precision physical examination for the host. 】

[But it requires a lot of energy. Since the system has already consumed most of the energy through time and space before, the system will enter a dormant state due to insufficient energy after the detection. 】

The dormant state is not a good thing for the system or for Qin Manjing.

At the very least, the system is the only thing that can help her in Duke Qin's mansion where food and clothing cannot be guaranteed.

"There is no need for a full-body examination, can you simply check the abdomen for me? How much energy will it cost?"

[Partial micro-detection will not consume too much energy. 】

"Then come on." Qin Manjing lowered her eyes, thinking a lot in her heart.

[Ding, conduct a local inspection for the host... The inspection results are: mild burning of the spleen and stomach inside the abdominal cavity, and signs of poisoning in the blood. It is speculated that the host is vomiting blood due to poisoning. 】

Sure enough, she had already speculated in her mind just now.

Qin Manjing said indifferently: "Finally, they don't plan to hide it anymore, but are they going to kill me directly?"

"System, check to see if the food just now is poisonous."

The system quickly came up with the answer after a simple detection.

[The test results are: all have toxins. 】

Qin Manjing clutched her abdomen and slowly lay down on the bed.

The sudden massive blood loss and abdominal pain made her a little out of breath.

I don't know if I should be thankful that she only ate one of them, Xiaochoi. If she ate all of them, would she die of poison immediately?
"Duke Qin wants to kill me?"

Qin Manjing thought of the maid who didn't show up, and denied her guess.

"Not necessarily, it may be that someone else gave me this poisonous meal in his name."

"There is only a very common food box left in the house. Once I die, there will be no proof of death."

"What's more, if I really die, they will only feel that they have lost a burden, and they may not trace the cause of my death at all."

Qin Manjing's voice was very weak, with some small moans.

Analyzing these is not the most important thing, detoxification is the top priority.

"System, how to detoxify?" She panted and asked in pain.

[There will be many things in the mission rewards, including antidote pills.But if the host does not complete the task, the system can do nothing.However, after entraining qi into the body, the body will discharge a large amount of impurities and toxins, which can also have the effect of detoxification. 】

[For the sake of the life and health of the host, this system will help the host to detect whether the food is safe in the future. 】

Qin Manjing suddenly felt a strong sense of unwillingness.

If she died here today, would they all be very happy?After she dies, she will never harm the Qin family again, nor will she cause harm to the world, so they can sit back and relax?
The system told her that her fate could be reversed, and she hadn't even found out what was wrong with her fate.

Why should she deserve to die.

[The host is asked to complete the current daily task-introduce air into the body.Daily rewards can be obtained by completing tasks. 】

After resting for a while, Qin Manjing forcibly sat up with the pain and practiced cross-legged.

The aura in the human world is inherently thin, not to mention that she is an ordinary mortal with no cultivation and experience, how can she easily draw the aura into her body.

But when Qin Manjing read the book, she knew that impatience is the most taboo thing in cultivation.

No matter how anxious she is, she must calm down, otherwise, the more anxious she is, the more she will be unable to accomplish anything.

She tried her best to forget about the poisoning, the pain in her body, and the shame and pain of these years.

Slowly, her mind went blank, and her body became much lighter. Qin Manjing entered a wonderful state of being completely free from distractions.

Seeing this, the system quietly released some spiritual energy.

The aura enveloped Qin Manjing's whole body, and she was reluctant to leave.

No matter who it is, without aura, it is impossible to become an immortal, and the system knows it.

But the system is a good system, and it doesn't want to encourage the owner's dependence.

Even it understands that the most powerful power is never obtained from the outside world, but appeals to itself.

The road of cultivating immortals is also a road of cultivating the mind.
