C99 Help? (1/2)
Help?
”I'll be able to hold on for at most another year.”
Regarding the condition of his own body, Qin Mai was clearer than anyone else. Even if he were to use some superior medicine pills and dense heaven and earth profound energy to maintain his condition, he would not be able to live for more than a year. Most importantly, if Qin Zhu and the rest were to know about this, then things would become even more troublesome.
Let alone Qin Shaojie, even Qin Zhu himself had not expected that there would still be a problem in this kind of situation. Although she was already extremely careful, what could she do about it?
”This kind of thing could only be done by someone. Otherwise, it would not have happened under normal circumstances.”
At this moment, Qin Mai's face was extremely pale, as if he was a dying man. Even his eyes showed signs of dejection. This situation should not have happened to a young man in his teens with vigorous vitality.
Qin Shaojie naturally knew about Qin Mai's matters, that's why he was so sure that someone must have done something to Qin Zhu. Otherwise, this situation wouldn't have happened. And there were not many people who were close to Qin Zhu.
Although he did not say these words explicitly, Qin Mei was an intelligent person so how could he not understand Qin Shaojie's words? However, Qin Mai instantly broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing these words. Although he had thought about it before, he had never truly gone into that aspect. After all, Qin Lie did not have many trusted aides around him. Therefore, he was unwilling to believe that his trusted aides were involved.
However, Qin Shaojie's words made Qin Mai have no choice but to face this possibility.
No one knew what he was thinking, but Qin Shaojie could roughly guess what Qin Mei was going to do next, because he could see a kind of ruthlessness in his eyes. This ruthlessness only lasted for a moment, but how could it be fooled in front of Qin Shaojie's eyes?
Anyone who wanted to truly grow up had to experience something special. This was especially the case for the so-called struggle within the royal family. It was a process of bloodshed. If one's heart was too soft, then they could only become fish and others would be the chopping block.
”Therefore, Brother Shaojie, please make your move as soon as possible.”
After saying this, Qin Mai also stood up and bowed deeply towards Qin Shaojie. He placed all his hope on Qin Shaojie and thought that he could resist for a bit longer, but the condition of his body made Qin Mai not dare to wait at all.
The 'Heavenly Spirit Detoxification Pill' was a tier 4 medicinal pill. Even a tier 4 alchemist within the imperial family would need at least several months to prepare before they would forcefully act. Moreover, the success rate of this kind of attack might not be high. If he only had one year left, he had to ask Qin Shaojie to help him right now. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the time to.
”I've said before that I owe you a favor. The Heaven's Spirit Antidote Pill is something that I should do.”
Regarding this, Qin Shaojie did not think much of it, it was just that the matter seemed to have happened a lot earlier than he expected. If Qin Shaojie was refining it at his peak, the Heavenly Spirit Antidote Pill would be an extremely insignificant matter. But it was different now, Qin Shaojie was only using her Genuine Force, he could not refine it at all, and the only way would be to let Elder Ye.
However, even if Elder Ye knew of his refining secret technique, it would still be difficult to successfully refine it. A year's time may seem long, but it was actually just a flick of a finger.
Seeing Qin Shaojie thinking about something, Qin Mai did not say anything. He was a smart person and he believed in his eyes even more. Moreover, Qin Shaojie's actions in the Holy Flame Academy was enough to prove that his initial bet was correct.
He did not ask Qin Shaojie how he became a Genuine Force, nor did he ask about Qin Shaojie on purpose. In his opinion, working with someone like Qin Shaojie, meant that they had absolute trust in him, or it was better to not have any connections.
It was likely that some people had long since received the news of Qin Shaojie coming out. Being able to appear in their own courtyard alive also completely demonstrated Qin Shaojie's methods.
Since that was the case, why should he ask so much? If Qin Shaojie wanted to say it, he would say it.
”If it was another alchemist, are you sure you would be able to accept this kind of risk and uncertainty?”
After a long while, Qin Shaojie looked at Qin Mai and asked seriously. Elder Ye didn't have any contact with Qin Mai and the others. Qin Mai wasn't even clear on Elder Ye's refining methods and abilities. Choosing an alchemist that he wasn't familiar with while his life was in danger wasn't something that anyone would have the courage to accept.
However, Qin Mai didn't hesitate at all. He had long since been mentally prepared for this. Back then, Qin Shaojie had also specifically emphasized on this matter, although he did not know why Qin Shaojie was unwilling to choose the Alchemy Master within the imperial court, but he knew that he would not have any hesitation right now.
He was taking a gamble, even unhesitatingly putting his life on the line.
”Let's go to the Lingyun City. We can find the best supplementary materials there. I arranged for an alchemist to meet you there. ”
After pausing for a while, Qin Shaojie finally opened his mouth and spoke.
Refining a Heavenly Spirit Detoxification Pill was not a simple matter, and it required a lot of supplementary ingredients. However, even though it was only supplementary material, its value was not any less than those heavenly materials.
It was clear that Qin Mai did not wish to attract the attention of the royal family. Otherwise, if the news of Qin Mai became known by the royal family, then Qin Mai might not even have the chance to wait for the day that the Heavenly Spirit Detoxification Pill was refined.
The competition for the Imperial Family was far from as simple as ordinary people imagined.
