Chapter 695: Chapter 715: Are You Guys That Poor? _1

Lin Chen rushed back to the City Lord’s Mansion and was immediately brought to Qiao Wei’s side.

Everyone had witnessed Lin Chen’s medical skills when he previously treated Gu Qianqian, coupled with him being Qiao Wei’s Junior Brother, so naturally, everyone trusted him more.

Qiao Wei lay unconscious on the bed, her face pale, and her brows showing a hint of greenish color.

"How is it?"

Without any more words, Lin Chen sat down by the bed and started to examine her.

Gu Yuanjie swiftly replied, "She came back by herself, but as soon as she landed, she warned us to be careful while defending the city, retreat if we can’t hold on, and then she fainted."

A sense of dread filled Lin Chen’s heart. Did Qiao Wei’s words mean that someone would come to attack and seize Bai Tao City?

Lin Chen composed himself, realizing that his priority was to save Qiao Wei first.

After a careful examination, Lin Chen furrowed his eyebrows: "Senior sister has been poisoned."

"Poisoned?"

Gu Yuanjie angrily said, "Such despicable people!"

Lin Chen thought for a while and said, "Senior Brother Gu, please hurry and invite Sun Physician from Xingyun Sect... I have ways to treat external and internal injuries, but my knowledge of poisons is limited."

Gu Yuanjie did not hesitate, "Alright, I will personally invite him."

Lin Chen didn’t lie. If Qiao Wei was injured, either by external or internal injuries, Lin Chen could heal her with the Shengling Pearl. However, since Qiao Wei was poisoned, Lin Chen felt somewhat helpless.

It wasn’t that Lin Chen lacked research on poisons, but that he had no research on poisons in the Cultivation World.

He had always lived in the human world. How could he know what kind of poisons existed in the Cultivation World?

Qiao Wei had a full-body Sword Bone Power and yet was poisoned. Such poison couldn’t have been ordinary, and normal methods likely wouldn’t be effective.

Although Qiao Wei’s life force was not severed and remained relatively stable, she remained unconscious.

Sun Liangren arrived quickly.

Lin Chen stood up and greeted him, "Sun Physician, I used to live in the human world and have no knowledge of poisons in the Cultivation World. I’m troubled, could you please help me check what poison my Senior Sister has been inflicted with?"

Sun Liangren nodded, sat down, and after examining Qiao Wei, his expression became serious.

"The City Lord has been poisoned by Divine Fairy Intoxication."

Lin Chen frowned, "What kind of poison is this and can it be detoxified?"

Sun Liangren shook his head, "It can’t be detoxified, nor does it need to be. In about ten days, the poison will naturally dissipate. The person who used this poison didn’t intend to kill the City Lord Qiao Wei."

Lin Chen thought of the last words Qiao Wei said before she fell unconscious, and suddenly realized, "Their goal isn’t to kill Senior Sister, but to seize Bai Tao City!"

Qiao Wei was the third disciple of Nanyue Hengtian Cave Master Shi Changsheng. With this background, if anyone killed her, it would be completely reasonable for Shi Changsheng to annihilate their entire clan. They didn’t dare to kill her.

They didn’t dare to kill Qiao Wei but still wanted to take Bai Tao City, so they had to remove Qiao Wei from the picture to prevent her from participating in the city-defense battle.

Being poisoned by Divine Fairy Intoxication, Qiao Wei would be unconscious for ten days and unable to participate in the battle, making it easy to seize Bai Tao City. Once Qiao Wei awakened, Bai Tao City would already be in their hands, and they could even spare Qiao Wei’s life, leaving her no face to retake Bai Tao City.

Furthermore, since they dared to seize Bai Tao City, they naturally had someone capable of resisting Qiao Wei’s counterattack.

Gu Yuanjie’s face suddenly became solemn, "What should we do?"

Lin Chen asked, "There should be an Array Formation for city defense, right?"

Gu Yuanjie nodded, "Of course, there is the Lingguang Array for defense and the Ling Stone Cannon for offense. We can defend the city with these, but if the enemy has a Nascent Soul Expert to attack, the Lingguang Array may not be able to hold."

Lin Chen frowned, "Can’t the city’s defensive array withstand even a single Nascent Soul Expert?"

Gu Yuanjie forced a smile, "The Array Formation is naturally strong enough because it was built to guard against beast tides, and shouldn’t be unable to block a single Nascent Soul Expert. However, the Array’s support requires Spirit Stones, and every time it defends against an attack, it consumes a considerable amount of Spirit Stones."

"In theory, as long as the single-attack intensity does not exceed the Lingguang Array’s upper limit, and there are enough Spirit Stones, the Lingguang Array cannot be broken. However, the attack intensity of a Nascent Soul Expert is very high, and to defend against a Nascent Soul Expert would require an excessive amount of Spirit Stones."

Lin Chen immediately understood and directly asked, "How many Spirit Stones are needed for a defensive battle?"

Gu Yuanjie shook his head, "I’m not sure, but if the enemy has a Nascent Soul Expert, then it must be tens of millions, or even tens of millions more. This kind of defense is just a crazy burning of Spirit Stones."

Lin Chen asked, "Senior Brother Gu, you manage the city day-to-day, what are your thoughts?"

Gu Yuanjie clenched his teeth, "I will try my best to gather as many Spirit Stones as possible. No matter what, we have to first hold off an attack. We can’t give up the city so easily. After all, once we lose it today, we may only have the chance to take it back when Senior Sister reaches the Sword Bone Great Completion and steps into Nascent Soul realm."

Lin Chen curiously asked, "How many Spirit Stones can you gather right now?"

Gu Yuanjie forced a smile, "Not much, probably less than five million."

Lin Chen was taken aback, "Uh, this city is so big; are you all so poor?"
