1523 Awaken
After hearing what he had said, Feng Jiu nodded her head. So he had been to Pill Sun Sect in the past. She supposed he was originally a member of the Xuan Yuan Empire of the Eight Great Empires to begin with anyway. Back then when he had been afflicted with the Thousand Year Frost Poison, no doubt he would have gone to Pill Sun Sect in search of the antidote.
After eating a bowl of porridge, she smiled and said: “Although I am injured, they haven’t gained any benefits either. Pill Sun Sect has lost much more than me. I am sure that even if the Sect Master lives after taking that blow from you, he would only be left with half a life. Let’s just forget about this matter, there’s no need to mention it again.”
She paused, then asked again: “By the way, did you come by yourself this time? Did Grey Wolf and Shadow One not accompany you?”
“I’ve ordered them to go to a branch of h.e.l.l’s Palace to deal with some matters. They should be here in a few days.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze replied and scooped another bowl of porridge for her to eat: “Have some more! Your body is still weak!”
Feng Jiu took the porridge and ate it. After a while, she stopped and looked at him: “I want to refine an antidote for my mother. But besides the spirit herb I brought out from Master Third Sun’s cave dwelling, I need two other spirit herbs. I would like you to find them for me.”
“Which two? Tell me.”
“Ice Core White Jade Lotus, and Exquisite Seven Colour Flower.” After she had told him the names of the spirit herbs she needed, she said: “And they must be at least three hundred years old, otherwise they can’t be used as medicine.”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze pondered for a moment and said: “These two items that you have mentioned are extremely rare detoxifying sacred medicines, even my Xuanyuan Palace doesn’t have these spirit herbs. h.e.l.l’s Palace however has the Exquisite Seven Colour Flower, but it’s not yet three hundred years old. I will have to instruct my people to find out if anyone has these two spirit herbs.”
After he had spoken, he pondered for a moment and asked: “Will the poison within your mother’s body not be expelled if you don’t have these two spirit herbs? Will she be fine until we find the spirit herbs?”
“I can suppress the medicine in her body and prevent it from becoming fatal. Master Third Sun had originally wanted to use her as a human furnace to refine pills, so those aren’t poison but extremely precious spirit herbs. However, if her body cannot bear it, then the several medicines will mutually repel each other and gradually become poisonous and become highly toxic. I can suppress it and I can use bloodletting to expel her poison. However, the medicinal properties are deep in her bone marrow and flesh, bloodletting will not eliminate all the poison.”
“Those two spirit herbs are extremely rare and precious medicines. Even if it is to be used in the antidote, the whole plant is not needed, just one petal is enough. If you can’t find the whole plant, just try to get a few petals.”
He nodded slowly as he listened to what she said and said slowly: “Don’t worry! Leave it up to me. I will send someone to find the whereabouts of the spirit herbs. No matter how rare and precious the spirit herbs are, someone is bound to have it.”
“Well, I will expel some of the poison for her first. As for the poison in her bone marrow, flesh and skin, I will have to wait till we have gathered all the spirit herbs first.”
Over the next few days, Feng Jiu gave her mother some detoxification medicine and used the pores on her body to expel some of the poison. Because of this, layers of black liquid had oozed out of her body and her condition gradually improved.
After being in a coma for a few days, Shangguan Wanrong had finally awakened. The moment she opened her eyes, she looked at the figure by the side of her bed and couldn’t help but stretched out and held her hand tightly and asked.
“Little Jiu, how are you? Are you hurt?”
Feng Jiu smiled widely and her eyes narrowed in joy as she looked at Shangguan Wanrong: “Mother, don’t worry, I’m fine. I woke up two days ago.”
