317 Grafting (1/2)
The person who was here to find He Mengxi was Da Zhuang, who had accompanied the father and daughter duo to the Ziyun planet.
Da Zhuang now was even more stocky than before, and his original calm and peaceful face now looked more mature and aged, giving him a sense of maturity as if he had grown up overnight.
At this very instant, Da Zhuang's face and eyes were full of urgency and worry.
Whoosh!
He Mengxi rushed out of the yard without even greeting Da Zhuang and immediately headed for another courtyard on another side of the mountain. That was where his father, Da Zhuang and she had been residing.
He Mengxi traveled with big and urgent steps with Da Zhuang following closely behind.
As for Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei, they accompanied He Mengxi and Da Zhuang as well.
”Father!”
In one of the rooms in the courtyard, He Mengxi knelt before the bed. On the bed, an exhausted and worn out middle-aged man was lying down. This middle-aged man's body was thin, frail and weak. Dark energy surrounded his entire body, and he looked like skin and bones.
It was hard to imagine that this was the great Autumn Valley Head of the Lightning Sword Sect.
”Don't be sad.”
He Jin squeezed out a smile that was absolutely devastating to see, ”Promise me that you will not be rash. Before you become strong enough and receive Donghuang's permission, do not seek revenge on your own... Next time, do listen to Donghuang. Although he is younger than you, he is more mature and far-sighted than you.
”Wait for him to return here, but before he returns here, do not leave the Ziyun planet. As for me, I'm afraid I will not be able to wait for his return.”
After speaking these words with great difficulty, He Jin's energy seemed to decay further as if he were a twig burning in a fire and could be extinguished anytime.
Just as He Mengxi's face changed, Da Zhuang, Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei's faces changed as well.
A voice sounded out from outside:
”Valley Head, I have returned!”
This voice was full of determination, warmth and a hint of concern. Once it traveled into the ears of those present, their faces all lit up.
Even He Jin seemed to momentarily earn back some energy.
Whoosh!
As if a gust of wind had blown in, a white figure flew in at top speed and appeared at the bedside. Clearly, this was a handsome young man dressed in white. He gave off a glorious aura, and once he appeared, everyone was at a loss for words.
”Miss Mengxi, this young man says that he can help Sir He Jin to get rid of the poison.”
A young man dressed in plain clothes walked in. He had a friendly demeanor, and his gaze was warm. Clearly, this was Fu, who had been by Zhou Donghuang's side for a long time.
It was also Fu who had brought Zhou Donghuang here.
Once Fu had spoken, He Mengxi's eyes, which were already brighter, now glowed even brighter than before. ”Little brother, do you... do you really have a solution to cure my father of this poison?”
”Third Senior Sister, this little bit of poison is no match for me.”
Zhou Donghuang then helped He Jin up from the bed and placed him in a cross-legged position. He then took out a space ring, reached within and pulled out some core drugs before feeding them to He Jin.
”Valley Head, this is a Poison Nullifying drug that I managed to get somewhere else. It is known for being able to cancel out many types of poison. Even if it is unable to nullify the poison completely, at least the poison's toxicity will no longer affect you.
”Just to be cautious, after you consume this pill, I will support you in getting rid of the poison... I know a method for dispelling poison. Even if this Poison Nullifying drug does not manage to cure the poison that has traveled to other parts of your body, as long as it can suppress the majority of it, then I have confidence in handling the rest.”
Upon hearing Zhou Donghuang's words, He Jin swallowed the Poison Nullifying drug that he had been given without any further hesitation.
Afterwards, the black poison that He Jin's body was affected with was suppressed just as Zhou Donghuang had promised, but it did not disappear completely.
”Fu, go to the yard and pick a flower or a leaf for me.”
Zhou Donghuang quickly gave Fu instructions.
”Yes, Young Master.”
Fu acknowledged Zhou Donghuang's request, left the room and brought back both a leaf and a flower. Zhou Donghuang then instructed him to place these items flat on the ground next to He Jin.
Png! Png!
At the same time, Zhou Donghuang sat behind He Jin with both palms outstretched and placed them on He Jin's back.
Next, Zhou Donghuang began to transfer the essential core that was within him into He Jin. This essential core slowly and steadily flowed without facing any obstacles or issues. This was because He Jin's internal essential core was used up to defend against the poison that had entered him.
This easy transfer made the entire process more convenient for Zhou Donghuang as well.
As he worked, Zhou Donghuang began to utilize the Grafting method that he remembered from his past life. This method was used to dispel poison. His essential core continued to work until it covered He Jin's entire body. It accessed the places where the poison had infected and worked to reduce this poison.
Then, Zhou Donghuang uttered more spells, and He Jin's internal poison all heeded the command of Zhou Donghuang's inner core and left He Jin's body. The poison was then transferred to the flower and leaf that had been placed beside He Jin's body on the ground.
