After the eunuch received the reply, he immediately returned to the palace to report to Long Yin. After receiving the news, Long Yin and the Lin family heaved a sigh of relief. The fear on their faces faded by half. It was as if there was nothing that Nanhuangzong couldn't do.
The Medicine Immortal was in Tianlong City, but he refused to come tomorrow. To ordinary people, it was a great disrespect to the royal family. However, Nanhuangzong's action made them have no complaints. It was already a great honor to be willing to help. How could they dare to be dissatisfied?
The next morning, the Medicine Immortal Shui Nanhe came to Tianlong Palace as promised. He remembered what Shui Mengchan said yesterday, "Find out the cause of the illness. It doesn't matter if you want to save her or not."
After receiving the news, Long Yin personally went to the palace gate to welcome him, giving Nanhuangzong enough face. Shui Nanhe spoke casually and had a faint smile on his face. He didn't kneel, nor did he have any emotional fluctuations because of the emperor's personal greeting. He went straight to the point and asked to see the patient.
The appearance of Shui Nanhe also made Long Yin and the Lin family feel a lot more at ease. Compared to the imperial doctors, famous doctors, and divine doctors from yesterday, this elegant old man who looked like an immortal gave people a world of difference. In front of him, even the powerful Lin Zhan and Lin Kuang couldn't help but show respect. He was someone who had transcended the mortal world for a long time, so he naturally had less of a vulgar aura. He had more of an extraordinary aura.
Lin Xiu was still lying on the bed, half dead. From yesterday afternoon until now, she didn't even move a finger. She just laid on the bed like a corpse. Only her eyes were slightly open. She didn't sleep at all. This feeling of wanting to move but not being able to move was worse than death. Unfortunately, she didn't even have the strength to commit suicide.
When Shui Nanhe saw Lin Xiu for the first time, his grizzled eyebrows unconsciously wrinkled. There were many ways to make the body slowly turn black. This was obviously spreading slowly from the inside out. Perhaps it was only poisoning.
"Immortal, you must definitely save my mother!" Long Zhengyue said anxiously. In the afternoon and the whole night, they had invited almost all the famous doctors in Heavenly Dragon City, but the answers they got were all the same. This was their last hope. If even this Medicine Immortal from Nanhuangzong was powerless, then Lin Xiu could only wait for death.
"Don't worry, let's just watch and not disturb Senior Medicine Immortal. Senior Medicine Immortal's medical skills have reached perfection; he'll definitely be able to cure mother, "Long Zheng Yang said confidently as he patted Long Yue's shoulder.
Long Zhengyue nodded and looked nervously at Shui Nanhe, who was walking towards Lin Xiu's bed. He was afraid that Shui Nanhe would say that he was powerless.
The room became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. No one dared to make a sound. Long Yin was there, the Lin family was there, and there was a room full of imperial physicians. Shui Nanhe had no intention of asking them to leave. He looked at her face seriously for a while, then pressed his finger on her wrist. He didn't say a word, and his expression didn't change. However, he immediately retracted his hand, and looked like he was in deep thought.
"Immortal, what illness does my mother have?" Long Zhengyue couldn't help but ask.
Shui Nanhe waved his hand, indicating for her not to speak. Long Zhengyue immediately shut his mouth obediently, and the hope in his heart grew even stronger. This was because he didn't say that he was powerless like the imperial physicians.
After a long while, Shui Nanhe, who had been in deep thought, finally moved. He straightened his body, and his hands shone with a blinding white light.
"What powerful light-type magic!" Long Yin said in a low voice. Even the most powerful light-type magic caster in the palace couldn't gather such powerful light-type magic in such a short period of time. However, light-type magic was only suitable for healing external injuries, and Lin Xiu's injuries weren't external. What was the point of doing this?
Shui Nanhe waved his hands, and slowly transferred the light-type magic to Lin Xiu's body. A layer of lustrous white radiance appeared on the surface of Lin Xiu's body. After retracting his hands, Shui Nanhe's expression was still serious. The layer of white light stayed on Lin Xiu's body for a few seconds, then started to fade until it disappeared. The greyish-black color on Lin Xiu's body also faded, as if it had been washed away by the light-type magic.
Everyone in the Lin family couldn't hide their joy, and even Long Zhengyue and Long Zheng Yang let out a sigh of relief. The Medicine Immortal was indeed the Medicine Immortal. This strange illness that countless doctors couldn't do anything about was so easily cured by him.
From how they saw it, the fact that the black aura faded meant that the illness was getting better.
Long Yin had been observing Shui Nanhe's expression this entire time, and his heart sank as he asked, "Immortal, what illness does the Empress have?"
Shui Nanhe sighed, "This reminds me of a terrifying plague that happened in a small village in the south of the Sunflower Dew Country 10 years ago. Those who were infected by this plague all had their bodies turn black. In the end, they all died from exhaustion, and not a single person was spared. The Empress' current illness … is exactly the same as the one caused by that plague. "
"Plague?" Long Zhengyue softly muttered, and her expression changed as she exclaimed, "Since it's a plague, then doesn't that mean that everyone who came into contact with my mother … have all been infected?!"
This sentence caused quite a bit of panic, and even the usually calm Long Yin's pupils contracted.
"No, don't worry, Second Prince. It's actually not a plague." Shui Nanhe shook his head.
"The large number of deaths caused the people outside the village to think that there was a terrifying plague, and they all avoided it. Even now, no one dares to go near that place, because those who went near the village all died from the plague. That place became a place of death. Back then, I heard about this when I was travelling in the Sunflower Dew Country, and I couldn't resist my curiosity, so I went there. The ground there was a terrifying grey colour, and it was incredibly desolate. Just as I went near, I felt a terrifying power flow into my body, quickly devouring my lifeforce. I immediately left, and used my power to force that terrifying aura out. At the same time, I realised that it wasn't a plague, but a type of poison similar to … poison! Once I went near, I would be invaded by this' poison '. "
Shui Nanhe was correct – this' poison 'was called the' aura of death '. It was just that compared to the aura of death in the Demon Sealing Tower, the aura of death that Shui Nanhe called 'poison' was the same, but was much more terrifying.
Within the Heavenly Chen Continent, there were three types of Fate elemental energy: life, death, and soul. This was because there had never been a human who had these types of elemental energy. As such, even with Shui Nanhe's abilities, he could only call this' aura of death 'poison.
What Ye Wuchen had injected into Lin Xiu's body was this' poison '.
Hearing that it wasn't a plague, the frightened people finally relaxed. Long Zheng Yang asked, "Senior Medicine Immortal, does this mean that my mother was poisoned by this terrifying 'poison'?"
"That's right, I just used my Light energy to test it, and I can confirm it now." Shui Nanhe replied, his expression still serious.
"Since senior Medicine Immortal can cure this' poison ', you must already know how to cure it. Please save my mother, and the Long family will reward you handsomely!" Long Zheng Yang respectfully said.
"That's right! Celestial Immortal can cure the poison in your own body, and just then, you even managed to control my mother's illness. My mother will definitely be fine. "Long Zhengyue excitedly said.
"Ai!" Shui Nanhe gave a long sigh, and sadly said, "I can't cure her; I don't have any way to cure this poison."
These words were like a bolt of lightning that destroyed their last hope. Long Zhengyue hurriedly said, "But Celestial Immortal, you can cure your own poison, so why can't you cure my mother's? Besides … didn't you just help my mother remove most of it? "
"Ai, you're wrong." Shui Nanhe once again sighed and said helplessly, "This is a very special poison. If a person has inner strength or magic, they can slowly expel this poison from their body. With the intensity of the poison in the Empress' body, the Empress only needed to have a cultivation of rank 3 or above to expel it without much difficulty. However, if it's someone else's power, it won't matter how strong they are. The reason why the Empress' illness has been temporarily cured is because Light magic has a suppressive effect on this poison. However, it's only suppressive effect. After a while, she'll return to how she was before. "
Light was the bane of darkness, and was half the bane of death. However, it was only half. As the Fate Element, death controlled fate. Those who could not control this element would not be able to interfere with the Fate Element no matter how powerful they were.
Long Yin shook his head and sighed, "Celestial Immortal is right. Old Li and Old Liu suspected that the Empress was poisoned, and used their power to examine her body. They found that there was a strange aura within her body. Even after using all of their strength, they were unable to force this aura out. "
"This …"
Lin Zhan and Lin Kuang fell silent. Long Zhengyue and Long Zheng Yang also fell silent. Shui Nanhe's words and Long Zheng Yang's explanation undoubtedly sentenced Lin Xiu to death.
"Celestial Immortal, do you know how this poison can be planted?" Long Yin asked. Even the Medicine Immortal of Nanhuangzong couldn't do anything. He no longer had any hope of saving Lin Xiu. All he could do was find out the truth as soon as possible. Otherwise, if this poison appeared in someone else's body, it would cause massive panic in the palace.
"I don't know. This is the second time I've encountered it. According to the Land of Death that formed in the Sunflower Water Kingdom 10 years ago, this poison seems to be naturally formed. Has the Empress been to any remote place recently? "
Naturally formed? After saying this, Shui Nanhe began to doubt his own words. Because Shui Mengchan had specially summoned him here to see what illness the Empress had, and what the cause was, because this illness was related to a person …
Who was that person?
It's big brother's birthday today. Do you have anything to say?
