Chapter 580 Detoxification
Three days later, on the way to the main hall of the Lu Palace, Wang Xue'er took out a letter and handed it to Pei Yun beside her: "If... something really happens, please ask Elder Pei to give this to Luo Qi."
Pei Yun took the letter and glanced at it. The envelope had the words "Letter of Divorce" written on it. She turned to look at Wang Xue'er, who continued, "...I will also trouble Elder Pei to place my ashes next to Elder Ruqing of Shanhe Hall..."
Pei Yun was somewhat moved. She comforted her, "Don't worry, the Hall Master and Elders of the Pill God Hall will personally detoxify you this time, and I will also assist them. Everything will be fine."
Wang Xue'er didn't speak again, and the two walked in silence to the palace standing on the mountaintop.
Lu Anxu, Wei Cheng, and Pan Shi were sitting in the hall when Pei Yun and the other two arrived. Lu Anxu led them to the alchemy room, took a bottle of pills from the shelf, and said to them:
"I have already refined three antidotes. The key is that after she takes the pills, the Seven-Colored Fiend Poison is extremely cunning and treacherous. The effects of the pills may trigger the toxins hidden in her body, causing them to spread throughout her body in a short time, resulting in immediate death. Therefore, after she takes the pills, the three of you will assist me in treating her and detoxifying her..."
“Yes.” Pei Yun and the other two nodded.
Wang Xue'er couldn't hide her nervousness as she sat in the center of the room, with Pei Yun and the other three sitting cross-legged around her.
Lu Anxu explained, "The Seven-Colored Fiend Poison is hidden in the soul, heart, dantian, and limbs. I'll be in charge of the soul and heart, Wei Cheng, you'll be in charge of the dantian, and Pan Shi, you and Pei Yun will be in charge of the limbs..."
"Yes."
Wang Xue'er took the pill with trembling hands. After hesitating for a moment, she finally hardened her heart, closed her eyes, and swallowed the pill.
Before long, Wang Xue'er was covered in sweat. Her straight back curled up due to the pain all over her body, and she groaned softly, "...uh...hiss..."
The moment Wang Xue'er took the medicine, Pei Yun and the other three began their actions, four streams of spiritual energy flowing from their fingertips into her body...
Pei Yun closed his eyes and used the Life-Giving Technique to examine Wang Xue'er's feet. Just as Lu Anxu had expected, when the medicine began to take effect, the toxins in her body seemed to have gained consciousness and began a fierce counterattack.
Pei Yun used all her spiritual power to stop the toxins from rising, while simultaneously manipulating the medicinal properties to clear the toxins from her body...
Day and night passed, and before they knew it, the five of them had spent five days in the alchemy room. Now was a crucial time.
For the past five days, Pei Yun and the other three have worked tirelessly to detoxify and treat Wang Xue'er, pulling her back from the brink of death several times.
"Pfft!" Wang Xue'er spat out a mouthful of black blood. Her face, which had been deathly pale, now showed signs of life.
She has vomited a lot of blood in the past few days. At the most dangerous time, she vomited blood continuously and her whole body was convulsing.
At this moment, Pei Yun and Pan Shi stopped. The limbs were easier to clean of the toxins, as the two of them had already completely removed the toxins from her yesterday.
The soul, dantian, and heart are all extremely important locations; the slightest carelessness can lead to death. Wei Cheng and Lu Anxu were extremely cautious.
By the sixth day, the toxins had been completely cleared from the heart and dantian, leaving only the soul.
The spirit is the soul, the foundation of a person. Even though Wang Xue'er has let go, Lu Anxu doesn't dare to delve too deeply. If he's not careful, he might become mentally impaired even if he doesn't die.
"Not good!" Wei Cheng observed that Wang Xue'er's pale face suddenly surged with black energy, and black blood flowed from all seven orifices. What was even more ominous was that Lu Anxu's face also showed a hint of ashen color.
"Master!" Pan Shi called out anxiously. He noticed that Lu Anxu was clenching his teeth and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
"This Seven-Colored Fiend Poison is far too cunning; it can even transfer the poison to other people!"
Wei Cheng quickly sat down behind Lu Anxu, placed his palms on Lu Anxu's back to heal his wounds, and instructed Pan Shi: "There is one more antidote for your master to take."
"Yes." Pan Shi hurriedly poured out the last antidote from the pill bottle and fed it to Lu Anxu.
Lu Anxu refined a total of three antidotes, and Wang Xueer had already taken two of them.
Pei Yun also became anxious. She understood that Lu Anxu could have stopped the treatment when he discovered that the toxin could be transferred, but he did not do so because if he had, Wang Xueer would have died without a doubt.
"...The most dangerous poison resides within the soul. You two will assist me in protecting Lord Lu's soul and preventing the poison from transferring into his divine soul..."
“Yes.” Pan Shi and Pei Yun also sat cross-legged next to Lu Anxu.
Pei Yun took out the Chaos Pearl. After thinking for a moment, she placed the Chaos Pearl above Lu Anxu and Wang Xue'er's heads. The next moment, a soft soul light enveloped their bodies.
"This is……"
"A Heavenly-grade magic treasure! And a soul-type magic treasure at that, extremely rare!"
Pei Yun's extravagant gesture left both Wei Cheng and Pan Shi in awe.
The effects of the Chaos Pearl were also quite noticeable; Wang Xueer and Lu Anxu's complexions improved considerably, and the dark aura dissipated somewhat.
Three more days passed, and 90% of the toxins in Wang Xue'er's soul were finally cleared, at least she was no longer in mortal danger.
Lu Anxu let out a deep sigh of relief, opened his eyes, placed his hands on his knees, and looked utterly exhausted.
"Master, are you alright?" Pan Shi asked worriedly, and Pei Yun and Wei Cheng also looked at him.
"It's alright. Thanks to you all for protecting my soul, the toxins didn't transfer into my body."
Lu Anxu smiled and shook his head, then looked at Pei Yun and said, "Ninety percent of the Seven-Colored Fiend Poison in your junior sister's body has been cleared, but a little remains in her soul. It's difficult to remove it all at once; your junior sister can only clear it slowly on her own, which will take many years. However, the poison is no longer life-threatening. Even if she encounters demons again in the future, they will not be able to threaten her with this poison..."
"Thank you, Palace Master Lu, thank you, City Lord Wei, thank you, Senior Brother Pan." Pei Yun bowed solemnly and thanked them one by one.
Although Wang Xue'er was poisoned because of the demon race, and Venerable Qin Gu reported the matter to the Dao God Temple, the Pill God Temple did not need to go to such lengths to detoxify Wang Xue'er.
Not only did Palace Master Lu go to great lengths, but she almost got herself killed as well. This time, the antidote pills required a lot of precious medicinal herbs. If she were to exchange them herself with points, it might take her many years to collect enough. However, Palace Master Lu did not ask her for anything and even personally refined the pills. Pei Yun was very grateful.
"Take your junior sister down to rest."
After thanking the three of them again, Pei Yun carried the unconscious Wang Xue'er away from the palace...
She rested in her room (actually in her spatial dimension) for a day before arriving at the Temple of the God of Arrays.
After the most pressing matter of detoxification was resolved, she began to investigate the identities of the two traitors in the Demon Cave that day. One of the traitors was a formation master, and Pei Yun had even fought with him. The other party was not only skilled in formations, but also had very profound strength.
Entering the Hall of the God of Arrays, Pei Yun, carrying the badge and the letter Qin Gu had given her, headed towards the counter on the first floor. Just then, she suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice: "Senior Pei!"
Pei Yun turned around and saw a familiar figure walking quickly towards her, exclaiming with delight, "Senior Pei, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
“…Zhou Feng.” Pei Yun didn’t expect to meet him again so soon. She glanced at him and noticed the badge on his chest. She smiled and said, “So you are a disciple of the Array God Palace.”
Zhou Feng scratched his head sheepishly: "I just passed the exam recently. At that time, I was fleeing towards the Divine Realm City with my sister, partly because of her illness, and partly because I wanted to participate in the disciple assessment of the Array God Palace."
Now that both of his wishes have been fulfilled, Zhou Feng knows that it is because of the person in front of him that he was able to get what he wanted.
Pei Yun raised her eyebrows. She was genuinely surprised that Zhou Feng, who was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, could become a disciple of the Array God Palace, which showed his talent.
Most disciples of the various temples enter the temple during the Nascent Soul stage; those who can enter the temple during the Golden Core stage are extremely rare.
After chatting for a while, Pei Yun inquired about his sister's condition and learned that she had fully recovered. She was happy for the brother and sister as well.
After bidding farewell to Zhou Feng, Pei Yun paid her respects to the steward elder of the Array God Palace. After the steward elder informed her, he quickly took her to see the Palace Master of the Array God Palace.
The palace master was a kind-faced old man. After reading Qin Gu's handwritten letter and Pei Yun's shadow talisman, he slowly said:
"Actually, before Elder Qin Gu, the elders of the Main Temple also told me about it, but this person disguised his face and even his voice, so I couldn't identify him at the time. I have already arranged for my subordinates to investigate, and any news will be reported..."
"Thank you, Palace Master." Pei Yun knew that catching the two traitors would not be easy, and he did not expect to find them out all at once.
Thus, the matter of the Chaomu Valley Demon Cave came to a temporary end. A few days later, Pei Yun received a message from Yin Yanyue, who was about to depart to attend Zhen Yao's wedding.
Pei Yun sighed and went to see Fu Lingchen.
The next morning, Pei Yun went to see Yin Yanyue alone.
"Isn't your companion going to Senior Sister Zhen's wedding?" Yin Yanyue raised an eyebrow, clearly having some understanding of Zhen Yao and Fu Lingchen's situation.
Pei Yun shook his head: "They made everything they needed to say clear during the sword-fighting tournament..."
