Chapter 99: Antidote

Danfeng.

Valley Master Hu received letters from Qianxue Sect and Tianfu Academy and brought several disciples to rush over. Sect Master Lin and Elder Gan of Qianxue Sect personally welcomed Valley Master Hu and his group inside.Valley Master Hu didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "Everyone, there's no need for politeness. Let Hu take a look at the patients first. Please, Sect Master Lin, tell me about the condition of the injured first."Valley Master Hu's attitude was well-received by the cultivators of Tianfu Academy and Qianxue Sect. Over these days, both parties had made some progress. Not to mention Qianxue Sect, Tianfu Academy had been established for a long time and had countless records in various books. After searching, they finally found a similar case, but it felt even more tricky once they knew the result."Illusion Demon Liquid from the Illusion Demon Vine?" Valley Master Hu stroked his beard and paused, "The Illusion Demon Vine still exists? I thought it was already a thing of legend.""Yes, it's unexpected that this thing still appears in the depths of the Quqiu Mountain Range. Some students and disciples of Qianxue Sect are trapped inside, their fate unknown. As long as the Illusion Demon Liquid is not resolved, we cannot send more people to take the risk," explained Sect Master Lin.Valley Master Hu hurried to the place where the comatose were being kept. His research on various elixirs and spiritual herbs was superior to that of Sect Master Lin. After his busy work, the condition of the comatose cultivators stabilized, and the deterioration was contained, which also allowed the high-level members of the academy and Qianxue Sect to breathe a sigh of relief. Indeed, Valley Master Hu was not just famous for nothing; he had more skills than Sect Master Lin.Valley Master Hu's two disciples also came with him. He went to the elixir room specially arranged for him, leaving his disciples to guard the place where the comatose cultivators were, in case of any changes.Sang Shuo received compliments everywhere after arriving here. While feeling proud, he also looked down on Tianfu Academy: "I thought Sect Master Lin of Tianfu Academy was so powerful. In the end, he still had to ask for our master's help to contain the injuries of those few people."Wan Siqing was also quite pleased: "That's right. In the Tianlin Continent, who can surpass Cuixiang Valley and our master in the art of elixirs? But brother, have you heard about something? Now many cultivators outside are saying that the person who secretly sold the high-quality Bihua Pills at the Ascension Conference is now in this Tianfu Academy. I heard he even opened a shop, selling many high-grade elixirs."This was deliberately mentioned in front of her, making Wan Siqing suspect whether someone was trying to attract attention. After all, their master had announced that he wanted to take that person as a disciple. On second thought, she felt it was unlikely. If such a person really existed, why would they come to Tianfu Academy instead of choosing to enter Cuixiang Valley and become a disciple under their master? Anyone could see which option had a better future.Sang Shuo also didn't believe it and said with raised eyebrows, "When we have time, we'll go out and take a look." The two then talked about other matters. During this time, people came and went from the room behind them. After an unknown amount of time, suddenly there was a voice from inside: someone had woken up!Sang Shuo and Wan Siqing looked at each other. One went in to check, and the other went to call their master.Valley Master Hu immediately left the elixir room and rushed over, worried that the cultivator who had just woken up was in the same condition as before, and that the previous treatment had been in vain.Sect Master Lin and Elder Gan of Qianxue Sect also arrived immediately and asked as soon as they entered, "How is it? How is the person?"The person lying on the bed opened his eyes. Although he had lost a lot of weight and seemed weak and pale, his eyes were much clearer than those who had woken up before. Valley Master Hu was sitting next to him, diagnosing and treating him. Hearing the question from the newcomers, his eyes lit up: "There's no deterioration, but rather some improvement. Who was watching here just now? Did anyone come in? Did anyone administer anything to them?"What did Valley Master Hu mean by this? Sect Master Lin and Elder Gan looked at each other. Was someone secretly treating this person?Sang Shuo and Wan Siqing were also stunned and hurriedly said, "Master, it was the people who took care of them on Danfeng who were coming and going. There were no outsiders. The disciple has been guarding here all the time. Master, did you see it wrong? It must be the effect of the medicine you used earlier, right?"Sang Shuo said this and was convinced of it. If someone else had a way to treat them, why would they seek help from Cuixiang Valley and have their master come here in a hurry?Sect Master Lin and Elder Gan also looked up at Valley Master Hu, wanting to get a definite answer from him.Valley Master Hu, however, was confident in his own treatment methods and ordered that everyone who had entered and left be brought over. "Whether someone has administered anything to this cultivator, we'll know after asking."Although Sect Master Lin was extremely astonished, he still did as Valley Master Hu had said. Soon, his eldest disciple Ling Qi brought everyone over. He was in charge of the miscellaneous affairs here, and no one dared to play tricks in front of him.After everyone arrived, Valley Master Hu spoke, and someone's face immediately showed an unusual expression, while the others were confused.The person who showed the unusual expression was left behind, and the others were asked to step aside. The person said incredulously, "Is it really useful? Can it really save people?"Sect Master Lin asked anxiously, "What elixir did you use on him? How dare you use elixirs without permission? Can you bear the responsibility if something goes wrong?""Sect Master Lin, please calm down," Valley Master Hu intervened, looking at the cultivator with a gentle attitude, "Do you still have the elixir you administered? Can you show it to Hu?"The person nodded repeatedly and handed over the remaining elixirs. Valley Master Hu opened the jade bottle, poured out a dark red pill, and despite everyone's objections, scraped off a bit of the powder to taste. His eyes lit up again, and he immediately asked the person who brought out the elixir, "Who sent the elixir over? Did they tell you how to use it?"The person obviously had been instructed and confessed, "It was Brother Jiang Yan who sent it over. He instructed that it needed to be taken every six hours, five pills in a row, and then see if it's necessary to continue the medication based on the subsequent condition." This person also confessed to the previous act of smuggling the comatose person's blood, otherwise, it couldn't be explained how someone else could concoct an antidote."Is it Jiang Yan? But he's not an alchemist, how could he?

"Senior Jiang? Senior Jiang left for a while. He personally led people into the Quqiu Mountains. It's unlikely we can catch up with him now if we try to pursue him. Senior Ling came to find Senior Jiang for the medicine, right? Senior Jiang had already arranged it. As long as Danfeng needs it, he will send it immediately." The person who stayed in the trading guild informed Ling Qi of the message Senior Jiang left before he left."He went into the Quqiu Mountains?" Ling Qi couldn't help but raise his voice. He realized that Senior Jiang might have gone in to save someone. He had the life-saving detoxification pill, so he didn't have to fear the hallucinogenic liquid inside. He didn't have to worry about getting trapped inside."Yes, Senior Jiang's decision is not something we can stop." The person who stayed behind said with a bitter face. Just then, someone brought the medicine that Danfeng needed. The person who stayed behind immediately handed it to Ling Qi.Ling Qi looked at the jade bottle in his hand with mixed feelings. Did Senior Jiang really believe that this medicine could save people? He must have known that Ling Qi would come to ask about the medicine, so he prepared it in advance for him to take. Ling Qi felt like he was following Senior Jiang's plan step by step, and it was a very unpleasant feeling.He didn't immediately return to Danfeng with the medicine bottle. He thought for a moment and asked, "Can I ask who provided this medicine?"The person who stayed behind answered truthfully, "It was Senior Gu Yao, Senior Gu Yao and Senior Chi left with Senior Jiang. Senior Gu Yao was also very interested in the situation there. However, when he left, he entrusted the formula to us at the Star Moon Trading Guild to take care of. It won't delay the treatment of poisoned cultivators."The Danfeng people who came with Ling Qi all looked surprised. They all heard the same voice in their heads: How is this possible?!The head of Danfeng couldn't even come up with an antidote, but a small Qi refining cultivator like Senior Gu Yao was able to make one?It seemed that Head Hu was also very interested in the maker of this medicine. Was this small cultivator really that good at alchemy?Ling Qi pursed his lips tightly for a while, as if trying to digest this news. Then he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you. I'll take the medicine back first."As soon as Ling Qi and his group left, the students who stayed at the Star Moon Trading Guild began to discuss the medicine. Did this medicine wake up the people in Danfeng? The people that Head Lin couldn't save were saved by the medicine Senior Gu Yao made?Wow, Senior Gu Yao is really amazing. He's truly a genius alchemist who can defeat Danfeng. Maybe he's even the person Head Hu mentioned who he wants to take as his disciple!
