【Invulnerable to Poison】cannot be used on others, 【Healing Water Technique】cannot cure poison, only treats pain and illness, need to find a new spell.

With his unparalleled familiarity with the spell list, Lin Wen quickly found a suitable one.

【Rejuvenation Technique】

A green Qi Refining stage spell, consumes 10% of the spiritual energy, dispels toxins, diseases, or curses, and restores the body's fatigue and damage. The effect depends on the practitioner's cultivation level and benevolence.

Now Lin Wen knows that benevolence does not refer to ordinary human emotions, but is mainly determined by the amount of good fortune.

Lin Wen directly used 13 points of good fortune to cast this spell.

An invisible green light entered Zhao Minggong's body, his breathing became steady, but the flush on his face did not fade.

What's going on?

Lin Wen immediately looked at Qin Luoshuang, who appeared hesitant: "Has his breathing recovered? Did I make a mistake? But his heart rate is abnormal, the vagus nerve is still in disorder."

Lin Wen asked, "Can you tell anything?"

Qin Luoshuang looked very frustrated: "I'm sorry, Lin Wen, I, I don't have professional equipment..."

Lin Wen knew that this might be too difficult for her, and immediately said, "It's okay, hurry and take them to the hospital." At the same time, he immediately asked 【Immortal's Guidance】.

"What kind of treatment should Zhao Minggong receive to fully recover?"

Consumes: 10% spiritual energy.

Lin Wen did not hesitate at all and immediately used the spell.

【Withered Wood Meets Spring】

Lin Wen was stunned for ten seconds before realizing that this was the name of a spell.

He immediately flipped through the spell list and saw a desperate description.

【Withered Wood Meets Spring】

A pure black Spiritual Energy stage spell, with his current spiritual energy strength, consumes 92,100% spiritual energy, nourishes, restores, and rejuvenates the physical body, treats all injuries, delays exhaustion, reverses aging, partially restores the connection with the spiritual body, lasts for 921 days in this world's time.

This spell, when converted to good fortune for casting, is simply astronomical.

On the way to the hospital, Lin Wen stayed by Zhao Minggong's side, remaining silent.

Qin Luoshuang's mood was also low. She had just learned from the Inspectorate that Lin Wen had been attacked and immediately rushed over, but she still couldn't prevent the tragedy from happening.

She originally thought that Yu Zhongxian and Lai Juncheng would not be so incompetent, unexpectedly using the Council of Review's hand to deal with just a sheriff, even daring to risk the wrath of the empire by using heavy firearms and chemical weapons to assassinate a senior imperial official.

In the entire empire, this was a forbidden zone.

And using firearms and chemical weapons was even more forbidden within the forbidden zone.

In recent years, although the empire had become increasingly dark and the struggles between political parties had become more intense, the means used against senior officials had actually become more peaceful. Some even openly proposed that battles between higher-ranking individuals should be elegant, and even invented some "dueling" and "gambling" events.

And a sheriff, without a doubt, had already entered the ranks of the so-called "higher-ranking individuals." In the upper echelons of the empire's politics, the sheriff was the cornerstone, an existence that could not be easily killed.

Below the sheriff were the quasi-"higher-ranking individuals," barely considered candidates. Except for those with the power of moderation like Lin Wen, they generally couldn't arbitrarily impose punishment.

Below the sheriff were just insignificant officials, not very important, but they also couldn't go too far.

Those below that were not considered "officials" and belonged to the clerical class, not under protection.

As for the "commoners," the empire didn't care much about them. As long as stability was maintained and there were no large-scale uprisings, they were basically left alone.

The empire was the epitome of a top-down responsibility system. The governor was the highest official of a province, overseeing all affairs. As long as he could handle it, there would be no consequences for his subordinates killing and setting fires.

But at the same time, all the crimes of his subordinates would become his weakness, making him vulnerable to attacks in joint meetings, headquarters meetings, and the highest elder council.

Similarly, the sheriff was the highest official of a county, especially someone like Lin Wen who had the power of moderation, almost like a deputy governor. He was responsible for all affairs within the county.

Similarly, all the crimes of his subordinates would become his weaknesses, making him vulnerable to attacks in governor meetings, joint meetings, and headquarters meetings.

Therefore, Yu Zhongxian's simple assassination of Lin Wen was a meaningless act. Besides bringing him uncontrollable risks, it did not bring much benefit.

What he should have done was to plunge Changshan County into chaos and collect enough incriminating evidence to bring Lin Wen down in joint meetings, smearing and discrediting him.

The more he was smeared and discredited, the greater the harm to Sheng Huaixuan. Since his power of moderation mainly came from the governor, this harm could be doubled.

Therefore, this kind of assassination without any bottom line was incomprehensible, and there may be other reasons behind it.

And her urgency to establish the Sheriff's Guard was mostly out of caution and concern that Lin Wen's subordinates would be turned or kidnapped.It now seemed that its importance far exceeded the worst-case scenario she had imagined.

She must form it as soon as possible.

Qin Luoshuang made up her mind secretly.

She absolutely couldn't let this happen again.

Upon arriving at the First Hospital, all the poisoned individuals were rushed into the emergency room.

Lin Wen waited outside.

Qin Luoshuang went to the inspection bureau. Besides instructing the guards to collect all evidence, she also directed them to set up a guard, strengthen defenses, and protect important officials. Although they were not professionals, they could at least share some of the pressure.

Before long, the medical team led by the dean and the director walked out of the emergency room.

"Sheriff Lin, the others are recovering well. We have added more accurate and meticulous medication. Under good care, they can be discharged from the hospital soon without any sequelae. But Deputy Sheriff Zhao..."

Lin Wen's face darkened, "Just say it, tell me everything, don't hide anything."

The dean said solemnly, "He has been poisoned for too long, at least six hours. It has caused irreversible damage to his central nervous system. The subsequent secondary poisoning was extremely lethal. His survival and recovery to this state is already a medical miracle. We have exhausted all means, but his prognosis is still very pessimistic, he may only have a few months left."

Lin Wen suddenly became furious, "Aren't you very strong in biotechnology? Isn't your medical treatment very advanced? Why doesn't it work when it comes to me?"

The dean turned pale and said in a low voice, "Sheriff Lin, we have not yet conquered the central nervous system of the human brain..."

"I don't care! I just ask you, is there any hospital in this world that can save him?"

The dean lowered his head and after a long while, he said, "Sheriff Lin, please restrain your grief..."

Lin Wen turned around and left.

Uncontrollable anger was burning in his heart, not only towards those demons, but also towards himself.

Why didn't I kill them earlier!

Why did I have to wait until my soul was fully recovered?

Why didn't I foresee all this?

I'm the damn omnipotent Sheriff Lin.

As Lin Wen walked out of the main entrance of the First Hospital, a little girl led by her mother suddenly shouted, "Mom! Mom! Look, that big brother's hands are bleeding!"

The mother turned her head to look, but only saw Lin Wen's figure disappearing into the darkness, and the trail of fresh blood dripping along the way.
