C209 (1/2)
In the Xuan Huang Continent, alchemists were as respected as blacksmiths. Li Chen greeted the old man with a bow.
”I have come presumptuously to disturb you. However, my sister is not feeling well. Senior, please inspect her. After that, I will definitely reward you greatly.” Li Chen said as he appeared in front of the old man.
The old man was expressionless, but the disciples behind him were staring at the Spirit Stone without blinking, as if they could not see anything else.
”Look at you!” The old man angrily knocked on the disciple's head, then he said to Li Chen: ”Where's the patient!”
The disciple felt a bit wronged after he was hit. However, his eyes did not leave the Spirit Stone. From the outer appearance, this Spirit Stone weighed several hundred pounds. How could his eyes not light up?
The old man didn't pay any more attention to him, instead, he focused on inspecting Li Lu's body.
Not long later, the old man's expression became extremely serious.
”How is it?” Li Chen said anxiously.
The old man didn't respond to Li Chen. Instead, he rolled Li Lu's eyes and asked, ”Did you take a black, fragrant, and very fragrant pill before?”
Li Lu was a little surprised. ”How did you know?”
She had eaten one before, and when she was caught by the Misty Palace, she had been fed a pill. That pill was very fragrant, and seemed to be very tempting, but she had been forced into it at that time.
Li Lu's face suddenly turned pale. ”Is it because of that pill?”
The old man nodded, ”If I'm not wrong, what you ate should be a poison called the Absolute Spirit Pill!”
The old man's expression turned serious. He never thought that he would run into someone who ate a Supreme Spirit Pill. He thought that the existence of the Supreme Spirit Pill was fake!
”Then how should I treat it?” Li Lu looked at the old man with hope, but as the old man shook his head, the light in her eyes slowly faded and her face became deathly pale.
”All things are incompatible, and there is definitely something that can be treated. Senior, please tell me how I can heal my sister!” His voice was resolute and decisive. He had clearly seen the hesitation in the old man's eyes. It wasn't because there was no way to treat him, but because the old man felt that it was impossible!
However, as long as there was a sliver of hope, Li Chen would cure Li Lu, even if it meant going up the mountain of blades and down the sea of flames.
The old man glanced at Li Chen, he did not think that his hesitation could be noticed by Li Chen, and immediately said: ”Legend has it that the recipe for the Supreme Spirit Pill has long been lost, and I don't know where the antidote is located, but you can go to the other side of the Xuan Huang Continent, the Stellar Sea!”
”Stellar Sea?” Li Chen lightly clenched his fist. It was said that the Stellar Sea was very far from here. He didn't know when he would be able to return once he went there.
”The Heartless Pill came from the other side of the sea of stars. If I want to find the antidote, I'll have to find one there!” He had already told them everything he knew. As for what he was going to do, that was Li Chen's own business.
”May I ask Senior, what is the antidote for that Absolute Spiritual Pill?” Li Chen asked.
”The color is white, and the smell is the opposite of that of the Absolute Spirit Pill. It's extremely unpleasant, and extremely smelly!” As the old man spoke, he looked at the Spirit Stones on the other side and kept them.
”Thank you, senior!”
After receiving his guidance, Li Chen did not plan to stay for long.
Carrying Li Lu, he headed in the direction of the Heaven Realm Town.
Li Chen was very fast, and Nine Nether City was very close to the Heaven's Desolate Town. In the blink of an eye, Li Chen brought Li Lu to the Yang Gate escort company.
Seeing that Li Chen had returned, the grapevine was elated. ”Young Master!”
When he saw the girl in Li Chen's arms, Xiao Xun was stunned.
”My sister Li Lu! Let's arrange a room for her first. ” Li Chen knew that Little Charmer was thinking too much, so he explained.
Hearing Li Chen's explanation, Little Charmer revealed a smile on his face. He then asked worriedly, ”What's going on?”
Although the battle in Nine Nether City had alarmed a lot of people, ever since Li Chen told Little News to return to the Heaven Realm Town, Little Li had stayed in the Heaven Realm Town and temporarily didn't know about the news outside.
When Li Chen explained everything to the grapevine, the gossip angrily said, ”They actually dare to use your family to threaten you!”
But soon after, Little Charmer became a little worried for Li Chen's mother. ”I wonder if Madame …”
Li Chen's eyes dimmed. His mother was an ordinary girl. If those people wanted to do something, they would have long been met with calamity.
”Take good care of Lulu in the next two days. I'm going to the Misty Palace. Since he fed this Absolute Spirit Pill to my sister, there might be an antidote!”
Li Chen was very friendly. No matter what, he had to get his little sister to find the antidote for the poison. If he couldn't stop her, she said, ”Then you have to be careful.”
Looking at the unconscious Li Lu, a trace of pain appeared on Li Chen's face. He said resolutely in his heart: No matter what, brother will find the antidote for you, even if you have to go to the Stellar Sea! He will also bring the antidote.
On the morning of the second day, Li Chen departed for the Misty Palace.
This was not the first time he came here. Standing at the entrance of the Misty Palace, a look of anger flashed across Li Chen's face.
Light flashed in front of him, and flames soared to the skies as he smashed towards the main hall of the Misty Palace.
