"Great … Great Elder, is there really hope for Yu Feng?!" The beautiful serpent-woman froze for a moment before tears began to flow from her eyes. She covered her mouth and began to whimper.
Her husband could finally be saved. The former number one expert of the serpent-men tribe was about to return.
"The lotus seed within the Monarch Lotus can definitely save Yu Feng." The Great Elder glanced at the beautiful serpent-woman and couldn't help but exclaim.
Bu Fang and Wu Yunbai didn't say a word. They both stood in the distance and watched quietly.
The Great Elder solemnly lifted the lotus seed. He abruptly activated his true energy in his palm and sucked out a lotus seed that was as resplendent as glass. The lotus seed was sparkling and translucent, as if it was made of emerald.
A rich spirit energy and fragrance instantly permeated the entire small house, intoxicating everyone.
Bu Fang's eyes lit up as he inhaled the fragrance. This spirit energy, this fragrance … was indeed a good match for the Phoenix Blood Herb and the Three Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit.
Holding the lotus seed in his hands, the Great Elder abruptly tightened his grip on it. His true energy surged and crushed the lotus seed, turning it into a puff of lotus powder that floated above his palm.
The Great Elder gently waved his hand and sent the powder into the mouth of the unconscious serpent-man, Yu Feng.
Yu Fu's eyes sparkled like two gems as she stared hopefully at the serpent-man who had absorbed the powder of the lotus seed.
After the serpent-man absorbed the lotus powder, his face immediately blossomed with brilliance. A light blue stream of light flashed across his face … Then, there was no more movement.
"Huh? That's it? "
Bu Fang was dumbfounded as he looked at the Great Elder. One lotus seed … did not seem to wake him up at all?
"What's going on?" This time, not only Bu Fang was stunned, but the Great Elder was also slightly stunned. "How could there be no effect? The seed of the Monarch Lotus should be able to save the serpent-man. "
The Great Elder, who refused to believe it, crushed another lotus seed and sent it into the serpent-man's mouth. However, just like the first seed, the serpent-man's face only flickered with a blue light for a while, and then there was no more movement.
Each seed of the Monarch Lotus was extremely precious. Using two in a row should be enough to wake the serpent-man up …
Gritting his teeth, the First Elder crushed another pill with his trembling hands.
There were only eight lotus seeds in total, and he had used three to save people. This was definitely a big move.
But … he still did not wake up.
The Great Elder's lips began to tremble. He planned to take out another lotus seed, but was stopped by Wu Yunbai, who could no longer bear to watch.
"Don't waste the lotus seeds. If he can wake up, the first lotus seed would have been enough to save him. Three lotus seeds is already the limit, any more would be a waste," Wu Yunbai said calmly, her voice somewhat cold.
The Great Elder loosened his grip on the lotus seed. His face was ashen. It seemed that there was really no hope.
The serpent-woman and Yu Fu were already on the verge of collapsing. The hope that had risen in their hearts had been ruthlessly crushed.
Wu Yunbai walked in front of the serpent-man. A cloud of misty true energy floated in her hand and enveloped the serpent-man's chest. Her mind sank into it, as if she was sensing the serpent-man's internal injuries.
"His body has lost a serious amount of spirit energy. Even if you give him more Monarch Lotus seeds, it will only be a waste. Lotus seeds can enhance spirit energy and healing abilities, but they cannot restore spirit energy. What you are doing is a waste of spirit medicine," Wu Yunbai said bluntly.
She retracted her hand and her gaze fell on the crowd.
The Great Elder let out a long sigh. Yu Fu and her daughter's eyes were also red. Their hopes were dashed, and it was already good that they did not burst into tears.
Spirit energy? Bu Fang narrowed his eyes. A ray of light seemed to flash through his mind.
Then, he took a step forward and slowly arrived in front of the serpent-man. He stared at the serpent-man's face for a long time.
"Are you sure he has lost a serious amount of spirit energy?" After staring at the serpent-man for a long time, Bu Fang suddenly turned his head and asked Wu Yunbai.
Wu Yunbai was instantly speechless. She saw that Bu Fang had stared at the serpent-man for so long and thought that he had discovered something new. In the end, he still asked her, "Then why did you stare at him for so long?!"
"My White Cloud Villa is proficient in all kinds of miscellaneous knowledge. Medicine is also considered one of the compulsory subjects of the White Cloud Villa, so you don't have to doubt my diagnosis," Wu Yunbai said with incomparable confidence and pride.
Bu Fang nodded and ignored the proud Wu Yunbai. Instead, he turned to look at the Great Elder, stretched out his hand and said: "Since these lotus seeds are useless, then give me the lotus seed pod and the rest of the seeds."
The Great Elder did not say anything and directly handed the lotus seed pod to Bu Fang. With a flash of light in Bu Fang's hand, the lotus seed pod was kept into the system's dimensional storage.
After keeping the lotus seed pod, Bu Fang turned his head and asked the beautiful serpent-man who was hugging Yu Fu and sobbing softly, "Do you have a stove here?"
The beautiful serpent-man gave Bu Fang a puzzled look and subconsciously pointed to the back of the hut.
Bu Fang nodded his head and walked toward the shabby stove in the corner of the room.
Sweeping a glance at the stove, Bu Fang discovered that it was extremely shabby. There was a rice jar around it. When he opened the jar, there was not even a grain of rice inside. The serpent-men tribe living in the Illusory Spirit Swamp were indeed living in tough conditions.
Skillfully lighting the fire and scrubbing the wok, Bu Fang actually started working around the stove.
Wu Yunbai was startled when she saw Bu Fang's actions. Then, as if she had thought of something, her eyes slightly opened and a brilliant light circulated within them.
"Could it be that this guy is going to cook an Elixir Cuisine? Is he planning to use the Elixir Cuisine to save the serpent-man? But … can the Elixir Cuisine really save a man who has lost his vital energy? "Wu Yunbai muttered doubtfully.
The loss of vital energy was very normal. Some weak people would lose their vital energy at any time. However, if the loss of vital energy was too severe, then there would be a problem.
Bu Fang took out some rice from the system's storage space. This was the rice used for Egg-Fried Rice in the store. Each grain was plump and full. Bu Fang originally planned to cook it himself, but he did not expect that he would not use it in the Illusory Spirit Swamp. Now that he was using it here, it became necessary.
After washing the rice, he placed it into the wok to simmer.
Bu Fang gathered some of the true energy that he had just recovered and condensed it into the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife. With a flash of his hand, a red fungus-like blood crown appeared in his hand.
"This is … the Blood Crown Black Swamp Boa's blood crown?!" Wu Yunbai lightly covered her small mouth with a face full of astonishment. This guy … he even left this thing behind?
Wouldn't that mean that the Black Swamp Boa suffered a great loss? Not only did it not get anything, it even had to stick its own blood crown on it!
However, if it was this blood crown … then it might actually work. The blood crown was the essence of the Black Swamp Boa and was the main source of its vital energy. Using it to cook the Elixir Cuisine might actually be useful.
Bu Fang used the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife to carefully cut off a small piece of the Blood Crown. After dicing it into small pieces, he put away the Blood Crown. With a flash of light, a piece of fat and tender Wandering Dragon Meat appeared in his hand.
He also diced the Wandering Dragon Meat, mixed the two together, and poured them into the wok.
When the lid was removed, the head elder and the other two elders were stunned by the surging hot steam accompanied by the refreshing fragrance of the rice.
The serpent-beauty and Yu Fu turned their heads to look at Bu Fang and saw that Bu Fang was actually cooking porridge. They were a little surprised.
Yu Fu understood Bu Fang much better than the serpent-beauty. She quickly guessed that Bu Fang might be cooking the Elixir Cuisine, so her eyes once again emitted a glimmer of hope.
Perhaps her father could still be saved!
The white foam in the wok was bubbling and the rice inside was expanding. It emitted a rich rice fragrance, giving off a mellow feeling.
After pouring in the two seventh grade spirit beast ingredients, the minced Blood Crown and the diced Wandering Dragon Meat, Bu Fang's expression turned solemn. His true energy had not recovered much and he did not know whether he could last until this bowl of Elixir Cuisine was finished.
Fortunately, the complexity of this porridge was not as difficult as the other Elixir Cuisines. Perhaps he had enough true energy.
"I have to make a snack that can help me recover true energy … Otherwise, it will be troublesome every time I exhaust my true energy," Bu Fang muttered as beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
However, in the end, the Elixir Cuisine was still finished.
The white rice porridge turned a little blood-red. Pieces of dark red minced beef floated within it. A rich fragrance and spirit energy floated above the porridge.
A porridge cooked with ingredients from two seventh grade spirit beasts was not ordinary at all.
Bu Fang scooped the porridge into a worn-out ceramic bowl, which was just enough for one bowl. Then, he carried the porridge, which was emitting spirit energy, toward the stunned crowd.
