C306 The Life and Death of Hu Xinbi
0After half a day of travel and communication, Xuanyuan Hao and Yan Qing's understanding of Ling Yunfan was far from being as clueless as it was before. Although there were some relatively secretive things that they did not know, they were already aware of them.
For example, he was the disciple of the pavilion master of the ancestral grounds, as well as the second daughter of the head of the Qiu Family, Qiu Yimin, who had been sent to the Blood Slaughter Grounds to gain experience as well as survive the Blood Slaughter Steppes.
At first, when they found out that a newly-arrived kid like him could defeat a genius like Qiu Yimin, the two of them were quite surprised, but their evaluation of Lingyun became even higher.
"..."
At the center of the city, there was a dense amount of spirit energy. It looked as if it was just a little bit away from forming a mist.
There was a towering palace in the middle of Ely. This was the lord's palace that ruled over the entire Blood Slaughter Grounds. Not only was this the center of power, it was also the most mysterious place.
Right in front of the palace, there was a certain arrangement of birdsong and fragrant flowers. There were all kinds of vibrant flowers, plants, and trees growing on the ground.
This room seemed to have been specially arranged by a formation array. Rather than saying that it was a room, it would be more accurate to call it a manor. Perhaps it was because they were too worried about the safety of the room, but one of them had set up a formation array with all kinds of powerful individuals.
Under Xuanyuan Hao's lead, Ling Yun Fan and Yan Qing walked in safely.
When he saw the surroundings and the faint traces of formations, he released his Spiritual Energy under the influence of his curiosity to sense the restrictions and formations around him. He withdrew his Spiritual Energy and thought to himself, "The power of the formations here might be able to easily kill any existence below the fourth level of the mortal realm. Even an existence above the fifth level might not be able to escape."
Although he had noticed Ling Yunfan who was attracted to the formation, Xuanyuan Hao did not say anything else. He directly brought him to the innermost area of the manor's formation gate. There was a light blue colored lease and an extremely simple and crude bamboo house.
After walking in, the first person that entered his sight was a middle-aged woman who was lying on the bed with a face as pale as snow, as if no blood had flowed out at all.
Beside the bed was a slightly similar girl. She wore a light black dress with a long ponytail. She had a cultivation of the fifth level of the Martial God Realm, and her face was filled with worry as she gripped the girl's hands.
As if to avoid being affected, the young girl also released her spirit energy to protect her delicate hands.
The moment he saw the young lady, Ling Yunfan recognized her as the daughter of the woman lying on the bed, which was also the daughter of Xuanyuan Hao, who was by his side.
"Xi Er, how is your mother? Has her condition improved after consuming those pills?" Seemingly feeling that his beloved wife's condition was extremely poor, Xuanyuan Hao did not have the time to say anything to Ling Yunfan. He directly walked over to her and asked her several questions.
"The disease is still worsening. The apothecaries who came to reward you were not using any of their pills at all. It doesn't matter if you take it or not." When she saw Xuanyuan Hao walk over, the young lady called Xi'er's slightly red eyes finally revealed joy. After answering all of the questions, she turned her gaze back to Ling Yunfan, who was standing outside the bamboo house.
After looking for a while, he turned to Xuanyuan Hao and asked, "Who is this? Father, why did you bring him to Mother's manor?"
"He is the alchemist my father invited to treat your mother's injuries. His name is Lingyun." After hearing her words, Xuanyuan Hao, who was looking at his wife with a face full of worry, suddenly remembered Ling Yun Fan's existence. He hurriedly explained to Xi'er before walking over with a pleading expression and said, "Young friend Yun Fan, I'll trouble you to save my wife, Hu Xin Bi, and help her cure her poison."
Seeing how her father, who had always been aloof and haughty, had treated everyone with such dignity, had actually revealed such an attitude to a junior who was only at the second level of the Martial God Stage, Xi Er's beautiful face was filled with surprise.
"I'll do my best."
This was because when he arrived, he had already sensed Hu Xinbi's condition as she was lying on the bed. He did not dare to make a decision too quickly, so he could only nod and reply with a frown. Then, he quickly walked to her side and began to observe.
As he watched Ling Yun Fan's increasingly serious face, Xuanyuan Hao's heart slowly sank. From the looks of it, it seemed as if the hope in his heart was slowly vanishing.
In reality, this wasn't his fault. Lingyun's current appearance was exactly the same as the alchemists he invited, but they were initially filled with confidence and gradually became powerless, while Lingyun had a tricky appearance from the start.
Although it seemed that he was better than the apothecaries invited by Xuanyuan Hao, it was not a good thing for him.
Not only him, but even his daughter, Xi Er, and Shi Qing were the same.
This frightening chill, as well as the special condition that corrodes one's spiritual energy, cultivation, and vitality, is probably not caused by any poison. A poison that can make a Transcendent Mortal Realm expert unable to resist it should not be able to hide in a place where they can barely detect it.
After observing for a cup of tea, Lingyun already knew a bit about Hu Xinbi's situation, but he was not too sure, so he did not dare to jump to a conclusion. Of course, he also had the illusion that the fire energy used by the pill should be able to dispel the cold and recover, but he also thought about how many pill refiners had treated him before he came.
Thus, he felt that this pill shouldn't be able to be cured with just the elixir that countered its power. Otherwise, how could the alchemists invited by Xuanyuan Hao return empty-handed?
Following that, Lingyun used his spiritual energy to wrap his right hand and then reached out to grab Hu Xin Bi Bi's pure white wrist. He infused his spiritual energy into his body to check the various important acupuncture points on his tendons.
