Gu Beiyue said that they had five days to find the miraculous medicine "Dan Xin" in Medicine Ghost Valley and return. Otherwise, Baili Mingxiang would be beyond saving.
Han Yunxi said, "We have to find it as soon as possible. We have to leave immediately."
And so, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi set off from the Imperial Academy of Medicine. After exhausting themselves to the point that they had to run two horses, they silently expended their internal energy and spent an entire day using qinggong to hasten their journey. Finally, they arrived at Medicine Ghost Valley two days later at night.
This single trip took them about two and a half days. This was already the fastest they could go. No matter how fast they went back, they couldn't exceed this amount of time.
In other words, if they wanted to return within five days, they could only stay in Medicine Ghost Valley for two to four hours.
Han Yunxi had only come to Medicine Ghost Valley twice, both times to ask for medicine. The most recent time was to ask for medicine for the plague. Gu Qi Sha wasn't in the valley at the time, so it was the old steward who received them.
Medicine Ghost Valley was the same as always. The courtyard outside was filled with people begging for medicine. Unfortunately, the courtyard gates were tightly shut.
Han Yunxi looked at the people kneeling outside, especially the elderly and children. She couldn't help but curse Gu Qi Sha for being scum! He was the scum of the medical world! He was an evil person!
Even those profiteers who specialized in inflating the prices of medicinal ingredients were kinder than Gu Qi Sha. At least they could still buy the medicinal ingredients they had.
Gu Qi Sha's medicinal ingredients were bought and sold based on his mood. Even if you had money, you couldn't buy them!
This kind of person, the heavens really wasted their talent in medicine!
When they arrived at the courtyard gates, the two of them reported their names and the old steward personally came to receive them.
"Your Highness Duke of Qin, a few days ago Chu …"
Before the old steward could finish speaking, Long Fei Ye immediately cut him off. "I'm here for an urgent matter. Let's cut the crap. This prince wants a medicine called 'Dan Xin'. Name your price."
"Dan Xin …" The old steward pretended to be troubled.
"Stop pretending. Medicine Ghost Valley definitely has it!" Han Yunxi said Cold. Gu Beiyue said that there was one here, so it couldn't be wrong.
The old steward smiled embarrassedly. "The Heart of Herbalism is indeed in the valley. But, how did esteemed wangfei know?"
"Cut the crap. I want this medicine. Hurry up and take it out."
Han Yunxi knew that she was very domineering, but in order to save people, she was so domineering!
Before coming here, she had already prepared herself to search the valley. After all, she didn't have a good impression of Gu Qi Sha, and the man beside her also had the ability to search the valley.
A cunning look flashed in the old steward's eyes as he helplessly said, "Esteemed wangfei, you may not know this, but the Pill Heart is personally kept by His Excellency Pill Fiend. However, His Excellency Pill Fiend is not in the valley."
"Find His Excellency Pill Fiend immediately, or let us search for him. Do as you see fit!" Han Yunxi said harshly.
The old steward looked as if he didn't know what to do with Han Yunxi. He cast a pleading look at Long Fei Ye. "Your Highness Duke of Qin, you should know that His Excellency has made an appointment with you on the fifteenth of next month!"
The old steward was clearly doing this on purpose. He spoke so quickly that even Long Fei Ye couldn't interrupt him.
Han Yunxi was puzzled. She turned to look at Long Fei Ye. "You have an appointment with him?"
"Mn."
Long Fei Ye gave an indifferent grunt in response. He didn't explain much, but instead asked the old steward, "You mean to say that Gu Qi Sha won't be back for a while?"
The meaning behind his words was clear: If Gu Qi Sha doesn't come back, we'll have to search the valley.
The old steward inadvertently glanced at the door and replied helplessly, "Your Highness Duke of Qin, esteemed wangfei, it's not that Medicine Ghost Valley doesn't want to give you face, but you've come too quickly. Why don't you stay here and wait while this one does his best to find His Excellency Pill Fiend?"
"Where's the medicine storage room?" Han Yunxi didn't beat around the bush.
The old steward's mouth twitched. 'Esteemed wangfei is even more domineering than His Highness Duke of Qin!'
The old steward didn't answer. Instead, he glanced at the door again. It was at this moment that a strange laughter rang out. "Long time no see, Qin Wangfei!"
Han Yunxi immediately recognized this strange laughter. It belonged to Gu Qi Sha!
She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gu Qi Sha, dressed in all black, gliding in through the door. He only landed on the ground when he entered the room, revealing his boots.
His ghastly appearance would frighten any young girl.
However, Han Yunxi wasn't a young girl. She stretched out her hand in front of Gu Qi Sha. "I want the Essence of Cinnabar!"
Gu Qi Sha wasn't in a hurry. He leisurely sat down and looked at Han Yunxi with interest. His sharp eyes were filled with joy, and his smile seemed to overflow.
Anyone who was paying attention would be able to tell that this guy was especially happy at this moment.
The look in his eyes made Long Fei Ye very unhappy.
Chu Xifeng had just been told a few days ago that this guy wasn't in Medicine Ghost Valley. Why was he here today?
Long Feiye only looked at Gu Qi Sha coldly without batting an eyelid.
"I'm in a hurry to save someone. Are you giving it to me or not?" Han Yunxi asked seriously.
Gu Qi Sha pretended not to understand. "Lass, what did you say just then? What do you want?"
"Essence of Cinnabar, I want the Essence of Cinnabar!" Han Yunxi said loudly.
"Oh … you want this excellency's Essence of Cinnabar …" Gu Qi Sha murmured to himself.
Under his black robes, he was currently clutching his hand over his heart. Unfortunately, no one saw.
"What did you say?"
Gu Qi Sha had spoken too quietly for Han Yunxi to hear clearly.
Gu Qi Sha laughed. "Lass, you said last time that if we met again, you'd tell me where the Wall-Hitting Ghost was."
Of course Han Yunxi remembered. She'd whetted Gu Qi Sha's appetite the first time she'd come to Medicine Ghost Valley to find a way out for herself.
"Give me the Essence of Cinnabar and I'll tell you right away," Han Yunxi said seriously.
"No, no. You tell me first," Gu Qi Sha seemed to be in a rush on purpose.
It'd take time to search the area, but since this guy was here, she might as well deal with him directly.
Han Yunxi kept her cool and said patiently, "If I tell you first, you'll give me the Essence of Cinnabar?"
She assumed that Gu Qi Sha would seize the chance to make things difficult for her and raise other conditions. She was even prepared to concede unconditionally, but Gu Qi Sha simply nodded his head. "Of course."
"You said it! You can't go back on your word!" Han Yunxi didn't dare to believe him.
Gu Qi Sha suddenly chuckled meaningfully. "Esteemed Wangfei, His Highness Duke of Qin is here. How could Old Man go back on his word?"
He made it sound as if he was afraid of Long Fei Ye!
Han Yunxi didn't know that Gu Qi Sha and Long Fei Ye had fought before. However, in her opinion, Gu Qi Sha was indeed afraid of Long Fei Ye.
"How could His Excellency Pill Fiend go back on his word?" Han Yunxi said first, before giving Gu Qi Sha an answer. "The Wall-Hitting Ghost was right on top of your roof. I saw it when I came in."
Gu Qi Sha stretched out his bony hands and clapped them loudly. "You're amazing, lass! Old Man likes it! "
Han Yunxi was about to speak when Gu Qi Sha suddenly pulled out a brocade box from his sleeve. "Lass, this is the Essence of Herbalism."
Although they had agreed to it, Han Yunxi still felt that Gu Qi Sha was being too kind this time. She almost couldn't believe it.
When the brocade box was opened, there was a blood-red pill lying inside.
Gu Qi Sha handed the pill to Han Yunxi and smiled. "Lass, I … I'm giving you my entire Essence of Herbalism!"
Uh …
Han Yunxi felt uncomfortable when she heard those words, so she didn't take it.
The usually calm Long Fei Ye couldn't keep his cool. He suddenly snatched the Essence of Herbalism from Gu Qi Sha and coldly said, "It's for saving others. She doesn't need it."
A disdainful smile flitted across Gu Qi Sha's eyes. "Your Highness Duke of Qin, I'll definitely give you an answer on the fifteenth of next month."
Long Fei Ye glanced at him, then left with Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi had just found out that Long Fei Ye had an appointment with Gu Qi Sha. Now that she had the Essence of Herbalism, it was more important for her to hurry back and save Gu Qi Sha. It wouldn't be too late to ask Long Fei Ye what medicine he needed when they got back.
Gu Qi Sha trailed after them when they reached the door. "Your Highness Duke of Qin, the two medicines you asked for are no ordinary items. What are you planning to do with them?"
Long Fei Ye's eyes flashed, but he ignored Gu Qi Sha completely. He carried Han Yunxi and mounted his horse as soon as he stepped out of the door.
Gu Qi Sha didn't give up and continued to follow them outside. "Your Highness Duke of Qin, Bear chuan and Panoptic Red Lotus aren't easy to obtain. This lord is very curious!"
Han Yunxi finally understood why Long Fei Ye was looking for Gu Qi Sha. It turned out that he wanted the prescription to cure Mute Granny.
She had already given him the Serpent Fruit, so all that was left was Bear chuan and Panoptic Red Lotus. She would be able to make a prescription to cure Mute Granny's poison.
"Your Highness, so you …" Han Yunxi couldn't help but ask.
Gu Qi Sha narrowed his eyes, as if he was waiting for something.
"Mn," Long Fei Ye admitted openly.
"Your Highness, I thought … I thought you'd given up." Han Yunxi was a little agitated.
Long Fei Ye had already said that Mute Granny's chances of survival were very slim. She had already given up, but she hadn't expected that he was still trying.
Long Fei Ye's gaze was somewhat evasive as he said indifferently, "In any case, let's find the medicine first."
Han Yunxi nestled in Long Fei Ye's arms and raised her head to look at him. Her eyes were filled with indescribable emotions.
Beside them, Gu Qi Sha was dumbfounded. This wasn't the plot he'd been hoping for.
When he saw that the two of them had really left, Gu Qi Sha hurriedly waved at them. "Esteemed wangfei, please take care of this lord's essence! Your Highness Duke of Qin, farewell! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Fei Ye immediately gripped his sword, but Han Yunxi stopped him. "We're in a hurry. Next time, we'll settle accounts with him!"
She'd previously thought that the 'essence' was a misunderstanding, but now it seemed that Gu Qi Sha was deliberately teasing her!
'That bastard!'
Han Yunxi turned to look at the kneeling crowd in the courtyard. She secretly vowed that one day, she'd deal with Gu Qi Sha and turn the Medicine Ghost Valley into a place that would 'grant all requests'.
When he saw Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi's figures disappear into the distance, the old steward said in a low voice, "Milord, isn't it … inappropriate for you to offend His Highness Duke of Qin like this?"
Gu Qi Sha looked back and snorted coldly. "Do you really think this lord is afraid of him? Just you wait! "
Just you wait!
Just wait until I figure out some things, then I'll teach Long Fei Ye a lesson!
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye traveled day and night on their way back. During this journey, Long Fei Ye had expended a lot of internal energy.
If Baili Mingxiang knew that His Highness Duke of Qin had sacrificed so much, he'd probably be touched and even more distressed.
By the time Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye arrived at the Baili Estate, it was the fifth night.
Time was of the essence!
Fortunately, Han Yunxi was quick-witted. She'd already placed the essence into the detoxification system in her detoxification space. She'd processed it, boiled it, dried it, and ground it into a powder that could be brewed.
As soon as she entered the room and listened to the doctor's report on the situation over the past five days, she sent everyone out. Then, she took out the powder from the detoxification system and brewed it. She personally fed it to Baili Mingxiang.
After feeding him the medicine, she finally sighed in relief. She sat down and activated the detoxification system to check Baili Mingxiang's blood.
However, as she sat there, she suddenly fainted and slowly fell onto Baili Mingxiang's body.
