She could not help but look at Di Fuyi who was next to her. He slightly bit his thin lips, but he did not reveal anything. The moonlight reflected in his eyes, and it was a different kind of darkness.
He did not look at her, but looked up at the sky.
The sky was full of stars, but how many of them were bright and how many were dark?
If a star represented a person, how many stars had fallen without anyone knowing?
He must be feeling bad, right? It was just that he did not show it.
Gu Xijiu could not help but hold his hand. His fingers were slightly cold, and he seemed to be absent-minded. Unexpectedly, he did not hold her hand tightly as he usually did.
Gu Xijiu leaned her head on his shoulder. "Fuyi, I will definitely develop the antidote!"
Di Fuyi patted her hand and agreed without saying anything else.
The two of them went to the alchemy room that Di Fuyi used to use. Gu Xijiu gathered her energy and began to study the antidote.
Due to the urgency of the time, she had to concentrate on the alchemy and could not be disturbed by the outside world. Therefore, Di Fuyi simply covered the alchemy room with a wizardry barrier so that the people outside could not see the candlelight in the alchemy room and could not hear any movement.
Half an hour had passed, and then another hour had passed.
Gu Xijiu had been studying the alchemy for a whole day and night. During this day and night, she did not come out at all, so naturally, she did not sleep.
She could not remember how many alchemy pills she had refined. It was not until the next evening that she opened the alchemy furnace and saw ten green pills lying in it.
It was a grade-eight pill! The effect of dissolving venomous insects was the strongest. Even the most powerful venomous insects could be removed.
Initially, she calculated that the grade-seven pill should be enough. However, to be safe, she added a special medicine in the last batch of pills – her blood!
Unexpectedly, she directly refined an eighth-grade pill! Moreover, it was ten pills! It was a miracle!
In fact, she had long realized that her blood could improve the success rate of alchemy. Whether it was her previous body or her current body, the effect was the same. It was just that she had never told anyone about this matter. It was considered her little secret.
Of course, she rarely used her blood to refine pills. She only used it once when she saved Di Fuyi from the array formation.
Other than that, he would occasionally get injured in the process of refining pills, and his blood would drip into the pill furnace. As a result, the success rate of refining pills was especially high …
She had always been in a bad mood. Although Di Fuyi had never blamed her or even showed any sign of blaming her, she knew that it was all because of her escape from the wedding.
If she had never run away from the marriage, so many things would not have happened, and so many innocent lives would not have been lost …
Ever since she came out of the Dark Forest, she had been feeling guilty every time she woke up at night. However, she had always been self-restrained and never showed it.
Now that she saw these ten eighth-grade pills, her heavy heart finally relaxed a lot.
This was the most powerful antidote pill. It was taught to her by an eccentric person she knew in the modern world. That person claimed to be the ancestor of venomous insects. She accidentally saved his wife once, so he told her the formula of this pill.
This pill required a very strong spiritual power to be refined, and it also required a special alchemy technique. She did not know what spiritual power was at that time, and she knew nothing about alchemy. Therefore, she had always kept the formula in her heart, but she had never refined it. Unexpectedly, it came in handy now.
The pill was rolling in her palm, and she finally felt a little excited. If what the guy named Xuanyuan Luoyu said was true, and he was the ancestor of venomous insects, then his formula was real. Mu Feng and the rest could be saved!
She carefully put the ten pills into a small bottle and opened the door to look for Di Fuyi. She found that he was not waiting outside the alchemy room.
She was a little disappointed, but she did not take it to heart. She took out a directed audio spell to contact him.
However, she could not contact him. The directed audio spell seemed to have no signal.
She was shocked. There was only one possibility for this to happen. He had entered a forbidden place!
He said that he would be looking out for her. Why did he suddenly go to a forbidden place? How long would he be gone? When would he come back? Would he be in danger?
Suddenly, she felt uncertain. She walked a few rounds on the spot and looked at the sky outside. It was already dark, and the stars were shining brightly.
She was anxious. Li Mengxia was still in the hands of the fake Celestial Master Zuo. It had been a day and a night. She wondered if she had been interrogated. Was there any torture during the interrogation?
She could not delay any longer. She had to save Li Mengxia tonight!
Fortunately, Mu Feng said that the Wall of Resentment would not work for an hour, which was enough time for her to sneak in and save Li Mengxia!
However, where did Di Fuyi go?
Gu Xijiu felt helpless. Every time Di Fuyi went missing, she did not know where to look for him. She could only wait passively.
It was still early, and she could actually close her eyes and rest. However, she could not sleep because she was worried about Di Fuyi. Hence, she jumped off the bed and walked around Fucang Hall.
She had once stayed in Fucang Hall for a few months and was very familiar with the grass and trees here. Initially, she only felt that the flowers were blooming like a brocade and it was full of beauty, but now, it gave people a kind of desolate feeling.
Although there were people cleaning the place, and the place was still very clean, Gu Xijiu felt a sense of coldness.
It was just like the Grand View Garden in the Dream of the Red Chamber. When the girls lived in the garden, it was lively and beautiful.
After the girls got married, died, or moved away, although there were still maids cleaning the garden, those who went in for a walk would always feel cold.
That was how Gu Xijiu felt now.
She did not wander around to enjoy the scenery. In fact, she still did not want to give up and wanted to find Di Fuyi.
Unknowingly, she turned into the backyard. There was a big hall in the backyard. The big hall was no different from the other big halls. Usually, the door was guarded by an iron guard, and it would not be opened easily.
When Gu Xijiu lived here, she used to wander around the big hall. She did not feel that there was anything special about the big hall, so she did not go in to have a look.
Now, she wandered here again and accidentally found that the iron guard on the door of the big hall was missing.
The door was half-closed, and obviously, someone had entered.
She remembered that Mu Feng had mentioned that this big hall was a forbidden place. Only Celestial Master Zuo could enter, and anyone else who trespassed would be sentenced to death.
Gu Xijiu knew that her husband had a lot of secrets. As many of them were related to the heavenly secrets, Gu Xijiu was too lazy to ask about them. She would not enter the place that was forbidden to her, and she would not even ask about it.
Now that she saw the half-closed door, she hesitated for a while.
