Chapter 97 (1/2)
The Troublesome Poison
There was a dazzling line up of items on the table, at least more than ten different types. There were bright smooth gems, magical wood emitting Qi, and different types of sparkling shiny threads….
All these things could be found in the list of ingredients Su Yun previously wrote.
“You… You went to buy all these ingredients for me?”
Su Yun tilted his head and asked in surprise.
“I am interested in everything about that medicinal pill I’ve talked to you about, so I bought these for you. You take these medical ingredients and, when you’re concocting the pill, just let me watch at the side, and that will do.”
Long Xian Li lightly said.
“If fairy wants to watch, it will definitely be allowed.” Su Yun laughed: “Never would I think that Fairy would actually immediately rush a thousand miles to gather all these ingredients for me, thank you!”
“There is no need for thanks. A thousand miles, in my eyes, is just a small issue, but it was because along the journey I met a few hooligans, and consumed some energy when dealing with them, that’s all!” Long Xian Li said.
“Fairy is strong, and has my respects!”
Su Yun laughed, feeling a bit of happiness. Before, he was feeling worried over obtaining these ingredients. Little did he expect that Long Xian Li would surprise him, and everything was settled.
He sorted out the items properly, and had to admit that Long Xian Li really did have skills. If it was Su Yun personally retrieving these ingredients, it would had taken at least a month.
“But, coming back, are all these items really ingredients for concocting pills?”
Long Xian Li suddenly asked: “I saw five silkworm threads, gold and jade leaves, and etc. I have never heard about these things to be of relevance to concocting pills, more like making cloth arrays…”
Su Yun heard this and jumped a little, but laughed it off and said : “You just have not seen its usage in concocting pills, that does not mean they cannot be used to cultivate pills, and what’s more, all these items are not just meant to cultivate pills. Most of these are assisting materials to help cultivate pills.”
“Really?”
Long Xian Li nodded her head, felt that it made sense.
She was suspicious before, but thinking about how Su Yun was knowledgeable towards medicinal pills, and the pills that he made were monstrous and multicolored, she left the suspicion at the back of her mind.
Suddenly, Long Xian Li face turned white, with her chest undulating slightly, pain flitting across her eyes, and body suddenly felt very light. She struggled to stand straight, almost falling. Looking again, her soft and supple lips was overflowing of dark red blood…
“What’s wrong with you?”
Su Yun was shocked, and immediately asked.
“Not a big deal.” Long Xian Li lightly breathed in a mouthful of air, and took out a panacea pill from her storage ring, and was going to swallow it.
But before the pill entered the mouth, it was snatched away by Su Yun.
“Su Yun…What are you doing?” Long Xian Li did not understand.
Su Yun shook his head: “Although this thousand poison pill dispels poison, it is actually counteracting poison with another poison. Frequent dosage of this pill would lead to it integrating with your poison wound, and it would leave behind poison arteries. When it really reacts, the consequences will be very dire and incurable!”
Long Xian Li long eyelashes trembled, and fear filled her eyes.
Su Yun then threw the thousand poison pill, and questioned her: “Where is your injury? Can you let me take a look?”
“Previously when I killed those hooligans, I did not suffer any wound!”
“I am talking about the place you were poisoned at!” Su Yun said: “Previously the Emptiness Spirit Pill that I gave you could control the poison in your body, but you had to ruin your luck, and cause the poison to act up. That is why this will happen. If you do not dispel the poison in your body quickly, sooner or later, your cultivation will be affected!”
Long Xian Li’s complexion turned white after hearing that. She heavily said: “Never before would I have thought that Senior Sister actually hated me to the bones, to actually use this poison on me. Immortal Sword Sect has been passed down for thousand of years, but it does not have any antidotes against poisons. Looks like I have to seek help from the powerhouses of Blossom Heart Valley!”
“Powerhouses from Blossom Heart Valley?” Su Yun opened wide his eyes and laughed. “Blossom Heart Valley only has a handful of powerhouse, but you are lucky to be standing in front of one now!”
“You know how to concoct pills, and know how to cure poison as well?”
“How would people who know how to concoct pills not know about its polar opposite? This doesn’t amount to much.” Su Yun laughed: “You painstakingly helped me to retrieve all these ingredients, so I should help treat you until you are well. In this way, there is no loss.”
Su Yun did not like to owe anybody, and, leaving aside the matter of Limitless Sword God, Long Xian Li brought herself across as someone who is honest and serious, with no false words.
Regarding Limitless Sword God, there was nothing else to attract attention to it. Since their current position was different, there was no need to mention anything.
At this moment in time, she knew that her own cultivation path was important, and Su Yun felt that he was not far from the sixth level of the Spirit Intermediate Disciple realm already. Moreover, Long Xian Li repeatedly hastened her travels to purchase the ingredients, resulting in the suppressed poison acting up again. In any case, he felt guilty.
One sentence from Su Yun led Long Xian Li’s eyes to dim: “So after this, you wish to cut off all ties with me?”
Hearing this, Su Yun was caught in a trance.
Did this sound like anything that the warm, simple, and elegant fairy would say?
Long Xian Li felt that something was off, and her cheeks turned slightly rosy. She lightly inhaled one breath, recovering her senses back to normal, and changed her facial expression rather quickly.
Su Yun was used to seeing this, laughed: “It is not cutting off ties, just helping out each other. All these ingredients are very important to me, and you managed to help me get them. I naturally want to return this favor to you, since we can be considered as friends, right?”
“Friends?” Long Xian Li thought for a moment before nodding her head.
“Then where are you injured at? Taking a look, since someone with your strength is barely able to take the pain, the poison must be really potent! We must not delay!”
Su Yun was serious.
Long Xian Li heard, went into deep thoughts and did not say a word.
Su Yun was slightly suspicious: “Fairy? Xian Li, what’s wrong? Where are you injured? Can I take a look?”
“Males and females have differences. You have good intentions, Xian Li knows, but regarding this… I think it is better to let it go.”
Long Xian Li wavered for a moment,
“If you’re not going to treat it, then what are you going to do? Leave it there?”
