“Does guild leader Shen know what kind of poison it is?” Seeing that Shen nuo actually knew, Leng ruoxue hurriedly asked.
“The poison appeared a hundred years ago. At that time, someone found an unusually beautiful flower on the mountain and picked it. Then, he was poisoned and fell unconscious. His companion saw this and immediately sent him to The Alchemist Guild headquarters. At that time, it was the first time we had seen this poison, so there was no cure at all. In less than three months, the poison took effect and the person died. His death was very miserable. All his flesh and blood were sucked dry, and in the end, not even a bone was left.” Shen nuo could not bear to say that.
“However, for the past hundred years, the alchemists of our Alchemist Guild headquarters have been researching the antidote for this poison, and we’ve finally found some progress.” Shen nuo added.
“Really?” Leng ruoxue, who was initially a little disappointed, immediately revealed a look of pleasant surprise when she heard Shen nuo’s words.
“Mm! However, even if we manage to develop the formula for the antidote, we can’t make it. ” Shen nuo said with a face full of shame. He was afraid that Leng ruoxue’s hopes were too high, so he could only make his words more clear.
“Why?” Leng ruoxue was a little puzzled. Shen nuo and Liuyue were the Vice guild masters of The Alchemist Guild headquarters, and at the same time, they were also one of the top alchemists in the God Realm. How could they not be able to refine the antidote? Could it be ...
At the thought of this, Leng ruoxue spoke in an understanding manner,””President Shen, if you need any herbs, you can tell me. I might have them.”
From her point of view, there could only be two main reasons why they were unable to refine the antidote after researching it. The first was that the medicinal herbs were not complete, and the second was that the alchemist’s alchemy skills could not keep up. However, Shen nuo and Liuyue were the best alchemists in the God Realm, and in addition to that mysterious Alchemist Guild’s chief, there should be no medicinal pill that they could not refine. Therefore, the biggest possibility that they could not refine the antidote was that they lacked precious medicinal herbs.
“Young lady Leng, the main ingredient used to concoct that kind of antidote pill can no longer be described as precious, because it has already gone extinct in the divine realm.” Shen nuo sighed lightly and said helplessly.
“What is it?” Leng ruoxue asked, unwilling to give up.
“Fish scale flower! However, the fish scale flowers had disappeared from the divine realm ten thousand years ago. ” Shen nuo said, feeling a little embarrassed. He was the one who gave Leng ruoxue hope, but he was unable to help her, and this made him feel extremely guilty.
“Other than the fish scale flower, do you need any other precious herbs?” When Leng ruoxue heard that it was a fish scale flower, she felt much more at ease. That was because she had a fish scale flower in her hands, and it had lived for at least 10000 years.
“I don’t need anything else, but there’s no place to get this fish scale flower.” Shen nuo sighed. Just this main ingredient was already enough to give them a headache. If there was another precious ingredient, wouldn’t they be depressed to death!
“President Shen, I’ll think of a way to get the fish scale flower. However, I want to know, since you have never refined this antidote pill, can you guarantee that this antidote pill will cure my servant?” Leng ruoxue asked worriedly.
“This fish scale flower is a wondrous herb. It can be used as both a medicine and a poison. After many years of research, we’ve found that the person and your maidservant were poisoned by a very rare flower poison. If we use the fish scale flower as the main ingredient to refine an antidote pill, it will be able to counter the flower poison and fight it with poison. Therefore, the fish scale flower is the best choice.” Shen nuo said very seriously. Their Alchemist Guild headquarters had poured in all their manpower and resources to research that kind of strange poison for so many years, so naturally, they would not do it for free. Furthermore, this result was also a conclusion that they had obtained after verifying it with many parties.
“Miss Leng, although I can’t guarantee that the antidote that we have developed can cure your maidservant’s poison 100%, I can guarantee that the success rate of the antidote is above 80%. After all, this is a newly discovered poison and the antidote has never been tested on human bodies. So, I can’t guarantee 100%. I hope you can understand.” Shen nuo continued.
“Then let’s try!” Leng ruoxue was helpless. Even though she did not want Cuizhu to become a lab rat, Shen nuo’s words were very true. Furthermore, she could not find anyone who had been poisoned by the same poison as Cuizhu. Hence, she could only let Cuizhu test it out personally.
“Alright, but is miss Leng really confident in finding the fish scale flower?” Seeing how confident Leng ruoxue was, Shen nuo asked with uncertainty.
“En!” Leng ruoxue nodded. Although she really wanted to ask Shen nuo for the antidote’s formula to refine it for herself, that was something that belonged to The Alchemist Guild headquarters. She was afraid that they would not give it to her so easily. Hence, she did not plan to ask for it.
“Then we have to hurry! I’m afraid that the poisoned person can’t last more than three months. ” Shen nuo urged. The person who was poisoned last time had died three months later.
“Alright!” Leng ruoxue replied. After that, she informed Shen nuo and brought the demon back to her room.
Once she returned to her room, she entered the bracelet and went straight to the herb field. At this moment, Qing Jue was tending to his favorite herbs in the field. When he saw Leng ruoxue, he immediately rushed over.
“Sister!” Qing Jue pounced into Leng ruoxue’s arms and called out happily.
“Qing Jue, I’m here to look for the fish scale flower.” Leng ruoxue said directly.
“Sister, are you looking for me?” At this moment, a pretty and tender little doll appeared in front of Leng ruoxue.
The little doll was even smaller than Qing Jue. It was chubby and pink. On its delicate little face, a pair of big eyes with clear blacks and whites shone brightly. At this moment, he was looking at Leng ruoxue with a face full of admiration. There was even a touch of pink on his cheeks. He was the spirit of the fish scale flower.
When Leng ruoxue first saw the fish scale flower, it was just a dried flower. She thought that Qing Jue would keep it in the storeroom, but he actually buried the dried flower in the soil. Later on, she found out from Qing Jue that the fish scale flower had already developed a spirit. It was just that its body was too damaged, so it showed signs of withering. That was also a form of self-protection for the fish scale flower.
With Qing Jue’s meticulous care and the strong recovery ability of the fish scale flower, it did not take long for it to transform into a human. Hence, there were two more cute little fellows in her bracelet. As for the other one, it was naturally the ten thousand year long Xu grass that she had obtained previously.
“Mm! Little Yu ‘er, big sister would like to ask for a petal from you. ” Leng ruoxue caressed the fish scale flower’s little head as she consoled them. Even though the fish scale flower now belonged to her, she had always doted on these little fellows and treated them as equal humans. She had given them enough respect, so these little things were naturally extremely close to her.
“Alright!” The fish-scale flower nodded without hesitation. Then, a fiery red flame petal appeared on her fair palm and she handed it to Leng ruoxue.
“Sister, these leaves are for you too! I’ve lost it after so many years, so it’s no longer of any use to me. However, it’s still a good material for making pills. ” Then, the fish scale flower spoke again. This time, pieces of crystal clear green leaves appeared in his palm. Each piece was as exquisite as an exquisite piece of art.
“Then big sister won’t stand on ceremony.” Leng ruoxue kept the flower petals and leaves as she spoke in embarrassment.
“Hehe! Big sister, you don’t have to be embarrassed. These are all normal drops. They’re no longer of any use to me, but they’re very useful to you. ” The fish-scaled flower said. He knew his own value. In fact, not only him, but all the other heavenly treasures knew it too. It was also because of this that they could not live in peace with humans. The main reason was that humans were too greedy. If every human could treat them as well as their big sister and give them a place to live, they would be very willing to live in peace with humans. Unfortunately, this could only become their beautiful wish. However, now that he had met his big sister, So, he was lucky.
“Mm! It’s indeed useful for big sister. ” Leng ruoxue chuckled. Then, she chatted with the two little fellows for a while more before leaving the bracelet.
When she handed the petal and two leaves to Shen nuo, Shen nuo’s eyes widened in disbelief. She held the petal in her hand and observed it repeatedly for confirmation.
The petals were the size of a palm, and the inside was smooth like jade. The outside was like fish scales, shaped like a sheet. The flower was red, bright like fire, and this was the most important characteristic of fish scale flowers. After Shen nuo confirmed it, she brought the petal to her nose and sniffed it. A faint fragrance wafted into her nose. From this, it could be seen that this petal was very fresh and had been preserved very well.
“Miss Leng, this flower petal ...” Shen nuo wanted to say something but stopped. Actually, he wanted to ask Leng ruoxue where she had gotten this fish scale flower from. However, after some thought, he felt that it was a little abrupt, so he did not continue after saying that.
“Is there a problem with the petals?” Leng ruoxue played dumb.
“No, I didn ‘t! These petals are very fresh, and it’s the best time to refine pills. How could there be a problem?” Shen nuo said with some black lines.
“Is that one piece enough?” Leng ruoxue asked with a light smile.
“Enough! That’s enough. ” Shen nuo couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat off his forehead. How precious was the fish scale flower? a small piece was already enough, let alone a whole piece. However, he was a little curious. If he said that one piece was not enough, what else did Leng ruoxue plan to give him?
