Chapter 117: Strange Poison

Although Mo Jiuwei herself could also serve as a guide, the journey was too long and she would definitely not be able to hold on and fall asleep during the journey, and would not be able to continue to guide the way diligently.

The Yue Chao in front of him was indeed very familiar with Qinxue Pond. He had come here to pick berries for many years and was familiar with the terrain and distribution of fruit trees here.

It would be great if he was willing to lead the way.

"This... I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome for Brother Yue?" Liu Feng changed his words in time after hearing Mo Jiuwei's words, but did not agree immediately.

"No, it's just something I do on the way." Yue Chao said with a smile.

"In that case, that's fine." Liu Feng pretended to think about it for a moment before nodding.

So everyone went together.

In addition to chatting on the way, Yue Chao also tried to inquire about the origins of Liu Feng and others without making a sound, but everyone was prepared and did not want to reveal their identities easily.

For example, Liu Feng gave a pseudonym, and the same was true for others, either picking a random surname or reversing their first and last names.

For example, Meng Ling calls himself Ling Meng.

It was not known whether Yue Chao believed it or not, but he did not ask any more detailed questions.

They walked on the road for more than two hours. During this time, under the leadership of Yue Chao, they found five berry trees that were not fought over. There were signs that the trees had been picked, but there were still some ripe fruits left on them.

"I only need to bring a dozen for the lady, and the rest are yours." This is what he said.

The people from the Xianlai Sect didn't hesitate to be polite with him. Seeing that he didn't want it, they took the remaining ones.

However, because there were outsiders present, the fruits were not taken to the Immortal Palace, but were carried in baskets by everyone.

After searching these trees, everyone found a deserted place to rest for a while.

Mo Jiuwei had just woken up from a nap. As soon as she opened her eyes, she reached out, "Guoguo."

Chen Lan laughed, but she still quickly picked the reddest one from the basket and handed it to her, "Here, eat it."

Yue Chao had been looking at Mo Jiuwei curiously, and suddenly asked, "She is one year old, right?"

"Yes." Chen Lan nodded.

After a child turns one year old, his or her physical constitution is different from that of an infant. If a child is almost completely unable to come into contact with spiritual energy during infancy, then after the child turns one year old, he or she can gradually be exposed to spiritual energy.

In order to allow their children to practice cultivation earlier and lay a good foundation, some big forces often spend a lot of money to buy some spiritual objects and give them to their children after they are one year old.

Based on the child's performance and the degree of his or her spiritual talent, we can decide whether to continue investing money or discontinue the program.

There is no doubt that the berries are spiritual. Ordinary children cannot consume them at this age, but Mo Jiuwei can...

This is enough to show that these people have a great background!

At this point, Yue Chao wanted to sigh that he had a keen eye. After all, the people in front of him were dressed too simply. From the outside, there was nothing special about them. They even looked a bit shabby...

However, Mo Jiuwei became that small flaw, and he just happened to discover it!

"Brother Yue, have you found enough berries? Do we have to go back to Shihan City?" Liu Feng asked him.

After a few hours of searching, they now have three baskets of berries in their hands!

In other words, they don't have to follow Yue Chao the rest of the way.

Besides, this person's purpose is really unclear and his strength is stronger than himself. Liu Feng is not sure about facing him.

Although during this process Yue Chao seemed to be frank and talked a lot about their Yue family, such as the Yue family was a family of alchemy and there was a ninth-rank alchemist in the family.

But the more this happened, the more Liu Feng was puzzled——

They are already such a big family, why are they actively trying to get close to them?

Yue Chao's eyes flashed, and he naturally knew what Liu Feng meant by this question.

So he smiled and said, "To be honest, I came to you all because I have something to ask for."

Everyone was even more confused——

"I wonder what's going on?" Hu Jiu asked.

"The truth is this..."

As Yue Chao continued to talk, everyone finally understood what he was thinking.

It turned out that the young master of the Yue family had some strange illnesses. He had a high fever and his skin kept falling off inexplicably, revealing bright red flesh and blood.

If the broken skin is small, you can apply medicine and bandage it, at least it will not affect your daily activities.

However, Master Yue's condition was very serious. Almost half of his skin had this abnormality, and it was distributed very evenly in patches here and there.

As a result, he couldn't even sit down to meditate or lie down to sleep, let alone carry out daily activities. He felt severe pain wherever he was touched.

The Yue family was originally a family of alchemy, and they tried all kinds of elixirs. The head of the Yue family also invited many friends who were also alchemists to come, but all of them were helpless against this strange disease.

However, it was not completely without results. At least with everyone's brainstorming, Young Master Yue's condition did not worsen and no new skin was shed for several days.

But this is obviously not enough. If the high fever cannot be stopped and the wounds on his body cannot heal, then Young Master Yue will definitely die.

Fortunately, things finally took a turn for the better yesterday.

Master Han from a seventh-rank alchemy family determined that Young Master Yue had been poisoned by a strange poison. The reason why his skin kept falling off was because his body was covered with poisonous insect eggs!

If you want to heal his injuries, you first have to get rid of those poisonous insect eggs so that the wound can truly heal without interference.

But these poisonous insect eggs are very stubborn, and ordinary medicines are ineffective against them. The most effective medicine for them is -

"Spiritual fire?"

Hearing these two words, Du Yue couldn't help but raise his voice in question.

"Yes, only spiritual fire can burn them out and save the young master."

Yue Chao sighed bitterly, "But how rare is spiritual fire? There are only seventeen kinds of spiritual fire known in the world, and nine of them have owners. But the earlier the spiritual fire recognizes its master, the stronger it is, and it will only burn the young master. Only those spiritual fires that have newly recognized their masters will be weaker and can kill those poisonous insect eggs without burning the young master."

"That is indeed difficult." Liu Feng frowned, "Finding the spiritual fire is already the biggest challenge, not to mention taming it."

"That's right, but fortunately, our Yue family has found the spiritual fire." Yue Chao said.

Everyone in the Xianlai Sect was stunned.

Liu Feng also looked suspicious, "In such a short time, you actually found the spiritual fire? I wonder what kind of spiritual fire it is?"

We just invited Master Han Dan yesterday, and there is only one day left. Even if we move quickly, it is impossible to get a new spiritual fire!

That's a spiritual fire. There are only 17 kinds of spiritual fire that have appeared and been named in the entire continent!
