Chapter 759: Detoxification and healing, ten-year agreement
"Senior, I wonder how injured my senior sister is and when will she recover?"
Seeing something wrong with Song Qingming's face, Xu Qingyin, who was standing aside, quickly asked nervously.
Song Qingming did not rush to answer when he heard this, but asked Li Xiuning in front of him: "If I read it correctly, there are signs of poisoning in the little friend's body. This injury seems to be caused by more than just a monster."
"Poisoned! That's it."
After hearing what Song Qingming said, Li Xiuning looked slightly stunned, and then explained:
"Senior, I don't know. At that time, I went to Taiyue Lake with my husband and others to hunt monsters. It was indeed because I accidentally entered the territory of a Golden Core Demon King that I was injured by it.
However, in order to avoid the pursuit of the demon king, I fled to a desert island and accidentally discovered a natural cave there.
At that time, I originally wanted to hide in that cave for a few days, and then escape from there after the demon king left the area.
But after nightfall, a burst of white fluorescence suddenly lit up deep in the cave. I was attracted by it to investigate, and found that there were many mature elixirs deep in the cave, like a medicinal field.
I was a little too excited at the time and didn't notice the hidden dangers next to me.
Just as I was getting closer to pick the elixir, several vines suddenly flew out of a big tree deep in the medicine field and tried to get me involved.
Fortunately, I was still far away at that time, and I had prepared a second-level talisman in my hand. I quickly used it to get rid of the restraints of those vines, and ran out from the depths of the cave.
But even though I escaped from there, my arm was still injured by the vine.
And I remember that not long after I escaped, I fainted and didn't wake up until a few days later. At that time, I felt as if I had been poisoned.
But after I woke up, I immediately took some antidote pills and felt much better, so I didn't take the poisoning to my heart.
For more than a year, I always thought that my injuries were only caused by damage to my meridians. I never expected that there was poisoning in my body.
Now, senior, if nothing else goes wrong, the remaining toxins on my body should have been caused by being injured by the demonic tree vine at that time. "
Hearing this, Song Qingming nodded slightly and said, "The toxins in your body contain wood-attribute aura, which is indeed somewhat similar to what you said.
It is very rare for plants and trees to become spirits in the world of immortality. The demon tree can cast spells to tempt and devour it. At least it is close to the golden elixir stage of cultivation. If you can escape from it, it is considered a good fortune. "
In addition to the human race and the demon race, there are also some spiritual high-level plants and other spiritual objects in the world of immortality, which can be born from one's own spiritual intelligence. The demon tree that Li Xiuning encountered is one of them.
However, this probability is extremely low. Apart from seeing it in some immortal cultivation books for so many years, Song Qingming has also heard about plants becoming spirits and devouring humans and beasts.
Although these plants and trees that give birth to spiritual wisdom are of high grade, they are basically spiritual trees of level three or above, which are equivalent to the golden elixir monks among human monks.
However, because it is limited by its body and cannot move easily, its magical power is still slightly weaker than that of the human golden elixir monks of the same level.
Li Xiuning was able to escape by chance, mostly because this spiritual tree was not strong enough after it had advanced not long ago. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for her to escape from the opponent's hands just because she was seriously injured.
"Senior Song, how should we remove the toxins in my senior sister's body? I hope senior can give us a way out!"
Seeing that Song Qingming had confirmed the source of toxins in Li Xiuning's body, Xu Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked about the method of detoxification.
"This poison is not difficult to cure. As long as you find the corresponding antidote and refine it, it will take about ten days and a half to slowly heal.
However, for more than a year, I have not been able to detect the residual toxins in my body, and I have used magic power many times. Now that the toxins have invaded your Dantian, it will be a little difficult to handle.
If you want to detoxify, you also need to find a third-level water-attribute silver leaf flower. First, refine it into an external elixir to absorb the toxins in your Dantian, and then refine it together with the detoxification elixir to slowly remove the remaining toxins from your body. , if it’s quick, it can be cured within half a year. "
"The third-level elixir is made into an external elixir. How can we find it at the moment? Senior, is there no other way besides this?"
When they heard that level three elixir was needed, both Xu Qingyin and Li Xiuning had a somewhat ugly expression on their faces.
In order to help Li Xiuning heal his injuries over the years, the two sisters have basically spent all their spiritual stones, and even sold several of their magic weapons.
A third-level elixir requires at least four thousand spiritual stones, and spiritual items of this level are generally expensive and unmarketable. Even if they can gather enough spiritual stones, they don't know where to find them. get.
What's more, we have to ask a third-level alchemist to refine the outer elixir. These are things that require a lot of spiritual stones. Faced with the antidote method told by Song Qingming, Xu Qingyin and Xu Qingyin felt helpless and didn't know what to do. is good.
Facing Xu Qingyin's expectant inquiry, Song Qingming shook his head with a serious face this time.
"Without the third-level elixir made from silver leaf flowers, the effect of just taking the detoxifying elixir may be limited. I estimate that it will be difficult to eradicate toxins from your body in a short period of time.
But don’t worry, even if the toxin cannot be eradicated temporarily, your child’s life should still be safe. Don’t worry too much about this.
What I just said is just my personal suggestion. As for the specific choice, you can still go to other people and take a look. You can decide on your own. "
After saying that, Song Qingming said no more and turned back to his seat.
What Song Qingming just said was basically the truth, and there was no deception at all.
He and the two girls were not particularly close to each other, so he was kind enough to check on Li Xiuning's injuries and tell them how to detoxify them, which was considered very kind.
As for how Xu Qingyin and the others choose, these are their own affairs. All Song Qingming can do is help them analyze the pros and cons, and he doesn't have many ideas about participating.
Song Qingming had just sat down. After Xu Qingyin stood there and hesitated for a moment, she suddenly gritted her teeth and knelt down directly facing Song Qingming.
"Senior Song, I have traveled thousands of miles to come here. I have no friends and no acquaintances here to help. Now I can only ask for help from senior.
I wonder if seniors can find a way to find elixirs for us to refine the elixirs. Seniors can tell us how many spiritual stones we have, and we will try our best to collect them.
If the senior is worried, I can sign a contract with you first. Even if I go hunting monsters, the junior will definitely find a way to get the required spiritual stones as soon as possible. "
"Xu Xiaoyou, what are you doing? Yuan Hao help her up quickly and talk!"
Seeing Xu Qingyin suddenly begging in front of him, Song Qingming's face suddenly looked a bit unsightly, and he quickly asked Song Yuanhao who was standing beside him to step forward and help her up first.
"You two friends also know that this third-level silver-leaf flower is not that easy to find. To be honest, I don't have this thing in the Song family. If you want to find the elixir, I'm afraid you can only try your luck at Guyang Mountain. .
There are thousands of people seeking Taoism in the world of immortality. It is probably not easy to ask for help. If you want to ask me for help, spiritual stones alone are not enough.
There's only so much I can say. Both of you are understanding people, and there are some things I don't want to say in a harsh way in person. "
As a casual cultivator who has been in Taoism for many years, Li Xiuning is naturally very aware of the difficulties of asking for help, let alone asking for help from a Jindan senior like Song Qingming.
Just now Xu Qingyin came forward to ask for help. If Song Qingming had not been good-tempered and Song Yuanhao was on the side to care about his face, under other circumstances, Song Qingming might not pay attention to the two of them anymore.
Seeing that Song Qingming's face seemed a little unhappy, Li Xiuning hurriedly shook her head at Xu Qingyin beside her, signaling her to stop talking.
He took the initiative to walk up to Song Qingming, bowed slightly and said with a smile:
"Senior is right. Asking for help is not that easy. The two juniors understand this. I hope senior can point me to a clear path.
If this path can work, the junior will be grateful to the senior. If it doesn't work, then it is my fate. The two of us will never dare to impose anything on the senior. "
After hearing what Li Xiuning said, Song Qingming raised his head and saw a look of determination in her eyes. After being silent for a while, he slowly said: "Since I am a sensible person, I won't talk in circles with you. .
If you want me to help, in addition to the spiritual stones you should give me, you must also agree to a condition, that is, you must go to "Cangyuan Mountain" for ten years to guard the Song family.
Of course, your work will not be in vain during the period of garrison. The Song family will not miss you the salary and spirit stones that should be given to you. They will be paid according to the treatment of the family elders, and you will become the guest elders of my Song family.
If you two agree, I will personally go to Guyang Mountain to exchange for the elixir, and I can help you refine the elixir directly.
If you think it's inappropriate, it doesn't matter. Although my Song family is not a famous family in the world of immortality, I will never do anything that makes things difficult for others.
I have already talked about the pros and cons of this matter. You can go back and think about how to weigh it. If you need my help, just give me a reply within half a year. "
After saying that, Song Qingming put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and prepared to leave the "Fairy Phoenix Tower".
But before Song Qingming could reach the door, Li Xiuning and Xu Qingyin just exchanged glances and made an immediate decision. They quickly stepped forward and informed Song Qingming of their thoughts, who was about to leave.
"The senior's willingness to help has given the junior a great deal of respect. Now that he has given me two such good treatment, how can we be ignorant of good and evil?
Please rest assured, senior, that we are willing to accept your request and guard Cangyuan Mountain for the Song family for ten years. No matter what happens during this period, we will never betray our agreement. "
When they first heard Song Qingming say that he had additional requests, Li Xiuning and Li Xiuning were a little worried, fearing that the price Song Qingming wanted them to pay would be unbearable.
But then they heard that Song Qingming just wanted them to stay and help the Song family guard the spiritual veins for ten years. Both of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief and agreed without much hesitation.
Although "Cangyuan Mountain" is located in the Fuyun Mountains and adjacent to the demon clan's territory, it is often attacked by demonic beasts and is not as stable as the spiritual veins in the rear such as "Qinghefang".
But just guarding the spiritual veins in the mountain-protecting formation, not taking the initiative to go out and fight monsters. As long as your luck is not too bad, it will not be too dangerous.
The two of them were originally loose cultivators and had no ties to family, relatives or friends. The ten years they stayed in the Wei Kingdom did not have much impact on them.
Besides, they are stationed on the third-level spiritual vein of "Cangyuan Mountain", where there is sufficient spiritual energy for cultivation. Not only will it not delay their path, but it can also save the two girls a lot of spiritual stones to rent a cave for cultivation.
Song Qingming's request is already very good for them, and the Song family is willing to pay them spiritual stone salaries, which makes it difficult for Li Xiuning and the others to refuse.
Seeing that the two girls agreed as expected, Song Qingming nodded slightly with a calm face and said, "Since you have made up your mind, then it's settled.
You wait here first. I will go to Guyang Mountain to look for silver leaf flowers in a few days. After refining the external pill, I will send someone to notify you, and then we will sign a contract.
As long as you two do not violate the agreement, you can decide whether to leave or choose to stay after ten years. I can assure you that the Song family will never deliberately make things difficult for you on this matter."
"Thank you for your care, senior!"
Before, I was a little worried that I would stay to work for the Song family, and whether I would be made difficult by the other party in the future.
At this moment, after receiving the promise personally from Song Qingming, the ancestor of the Song family, Li Xiuning and Xu Qingyin felt much more at ease, and hurried forward to bow and thank him.
Song Qingming just smiled and waved his hand, without saying anything more, and walked out of the private room and left the "Xianfeng Building".
As soon as Song Qingming left, Li Xiuning turned around and thanked Song Yuanhao who was standing beside him: "This time I can get the help of Senior Song, all thanks to the help of fellow Taoists. Please accept my courtesy."
After that, Li Xiuning bowed to Song Yuanhao with a solemn face.
"I have known you two fellow Taoists for many years, but it's just a small favor, why do you need such a great courtesy from you, fellow Taoist Li, please stand up quickly!" Seeing Li Xiuning suddenly show such a great courtesy to him, Song Yuanhao hurried forward to help her up.
After Li Xiuning stood up, she continued, "Although Senior Song didn't say it clearly just now, I can still see that the reason why Senior Song helped us was probably because he saw some face from you.
If I can recover from my injuries this time, I will never forget your kindness in the future!"
"You don't need to do this, Li Daoyou. Uncle Qi has always been kind. Since he is willing to help, I think you will recover soon."
After comforting Li Xiuning, Song Yuanhao couldn't help but fall into silence.
When he met Song Qingming in the market before, Song Yuanhao always thought that his ancestor helped to check Li Xiuning's injuries just to verify whether there was any problem with the third-level "Recovery Pill".
After hearing the other party's explanation, Song Yuanhao also understood a little bit of Song Qingming's intention to help this time. I'm afraid it's not as simple as he thought.
Otherwise, Song Qingming could have left directly after knowing that there was no problem with the "Recovery Pill". There was no need to continue to care about Li Xiuning's injuries and help them solve this problem.
Although the "Silver Leaf Flower", a third-level lower-grade spiritual medicine, is a high-level spiritual object that is hard to come by for foundation-building casual cultivators like Li Xiuning, in the eyes of Song Qingming, a Jindan cultivator, it is not that difficult to find this object.
After making an appointment with Li Xiuning and the others, Song Qingming went directly to "Guyang Mountain" the next day, and only spent a few thousand good deeds to easily exchange a third-level lower-grade "Silver Leaf Flower" from the sect's good deeds pavilion.
Then Huang Siyuan, a third-level alchemist, took action personally and successfully refined the external pill in less than ten days.
Li Xiuning and Xu Qingyin, who received the good news from the Song family, soon came to "Funiu Mountain" accompanied by Song Yuanhao, and made an agreement with the Song family to get the detoxification external pill they needed.
In order to facilitate Li Xiuning's recovery, Song Qingming also specifically asked Song Yuanfang to arrange a cave with good spiritual energy for her to retreat in the mountain, so that she and Xu Qingyin could live there directly.
It took only three months for Li Xiuning to use the external pill to clean up the remaining toxins in her body, and she walked out of her retreat cave with a happy face.
Xu Qingyin and Song Yuanhao, who learned the news, quickly came to welcome her out of retreat. In order to celebrate Li Xiuning's recovery, the three of them set up a banquet in Song Yuanhao's cave and invited Song Yuanfang and others to come together to express their gratitude.
After successfully removing the toxins from the dantian during this retreat, Li Xiuning's complexion was much better than before, and she could already fight with others and exert 70% to 80% of her original strength.
In order to fulfill the agreement with the Song family, Li Xiuning took the initiative to ask Song Yuanhao to help pass the message a few days later, and came to the Huixian Pavilion on the top of "Funiu Mountain" and met Song Qingming who was drinking tea with Huang Siyuan.
After learning that Li Xiuning and the others wanted to go to "Cangyuan Mountain" immediately to fulfill the agreement with the Song family, Song Qingming only showed some concern and quickly nodded in agreement.
"Considering that you have just recovered from your serious injury, I shouldn't be so anxious to let you go to Cangyuan Mountain, but since you two are determined to fulfill the agreement earlier, I won't stop you too much.
However, Cangyuan Mountain is not very stable after all. It may not be convenient for you to go there without a suitable magic weapon. I just happen to have a flying sword with you. You can take it with you and we can feel more at ease!"
After Song Qingming finished speaking, the magic power in his hand moved, and the next moment there was a green second-level high-grade flying sword in his hand, and then he gently waved his hand and sent it to Li Xiuning.
"Qingli Sword! Senior, this is it. I thank Senior Song for the treasure."
Seeing the flying sword sent by Song Qingming, which was the magic weapon that she asked her junior sister Xu Qingyin to sell at the market, Li Xiuning was surprised.
After a while, she slowly calmed down her excitement, took the flying sword and bowed to Song Qingming.
"It's just a second-level magic weapon, you don't have to be so polite.
I'll entrust Cangyuan Mountain to you, and I hope you can guard it carefully and don't let those monsters take advantage of it.
If you encounter any difficulties or emergencies there, you can directly send a message to Funiu Mountain to inform Yuan Fang, or go to Baishiling nearby to ask Changze for help. "
"Don't worry, senior, the two of us will leave for Cangyuan Mountain tomorrow!"
After Song Qingming nodded in agreement, Li Xiuning and Xu Qingyin bowed and said goodbye, and turned to leave the "Huixian Pavilion".
Song Yuanhao originally wanted to leave with the two girls, but he had just turned around and taken a few steps when Song Qingming called him back alone.
"Yuanhao, the family has never had the energy to manage Cangyuan Mountain. Now that Baishiling has gradually stabilized, we can spare some manpower.
I have asked Changze to mobilize some clansmen from Baishiling to Cangyuan Mountain, and Yuanfang is already planning to build a market.
You don't have to go back to Yinfengling. Go to Cangyuan Mountain with Xu Qingyin and others tomorrow. Things over there will be left to you.
If you don't understand anything in the future, discuss it with Yuanfang and others. You must help the family manage this spiritual vein well and don't let us down."
Since the Song family obtained the "Cangyuan Mountain" spiritual vein, because the family development focus was not on that place, only the two elders Song Xuanting and Song Xuanyu were arranged to stay there with dozens of Qi Refining Stage clansmen.
"Cangyuan Mountain" is located in the Fuyun Mountain Range near the demon clan territory. There are mostly undeveloped wastelands nearby, and there are still many demon beasts that often make trouble everywhere.
For a third-level lower-grade spiritual vein, even if there is a third-level mountain protection formation to protect it, Song Xuanting and his men are a little reluctant to garrison the spiritual mountain, let alone manage this spiritual vein.
Now that the Baishi Ridge has installed the teleportation array, it has become as solid as a rock and has gradually stabilized. The family can also withdraw some manpower to manage the third-level spiritual vein "Cangyuan Mountain".
Hearing that Song Qingming asked him to manage "Cangyuan Mountain", Song Yuanhao showed a little surprise, and hurriedly nodded and replied: "Don't worry, Seventh Uncle, I will work hard to manage Cangyuan Mountain and won't let you down."
"Well! Go back and prepare first!"
Song Qingming nodded, turned around and took a sip of the spiritual tea on the table, but turned around and found that Song Yuanhao was still standing there and had not left.
Seeing that Song Yuanhao looked a little hesitant and seemed to have something to say, Song Qingming said directly: "You are not shy, just ask directly if you have anything to say!"
"Seventh Uncle, did you ask me to go to Cangyuan Mountain because of Fellow Daoist Xu?"
Song Qingming looked at Huang Siyuan beside him, and both of them smiled slightly.
"You can see that this aspect is much better than Changze. I have helped you keep her now, but we can't force things in love. Whether it can succeed in the end depends on you.
If you and she are still not destined to be together after ten years, then we can only let it go!" (End of this chapter)
