News of Dong Xiaowan's serious injuries quickly spread. After consuming the Body Cleansing Pills refined by Yun Xin Loft, not only did Dong Xiaowan fail to recover her meridians and regain her ability to cultivate, she even collapsed to the ground. It looked like she was on the brink of death.
This immediately made people believe that Dong Shaoqing's claim that Yi Yun had successfully refined the Body Cleansing Pills was fabricated.
"Hahahaha!"
Huyan Cang laughed out loud. He was feeling extremely delighted.
"This Dong Shaoqing actually wants to seek revenge on me. Now, he has shot himself in the foot. I believe in a few days, he will come pleading with me again. If not, his daughter's life will be in danger."
"Alchemist Huyan, you truly have divine foresight." Zuoqiu Haoyu echoed with a smile. As a young master of the Myriad Immortal Pavilion, Zuoqiu Haoyu had many competitors from the same sect. He needed to maintain a good relationship with Huyan Cang. "Since Alchemist Huyan is needed to save her, Alchemist Huyan can naturally take Dong Xiaowan into his room and slowly study her."
Zuoqiu Haoyu spoke with deep meaning. Huyan Cang stroked his chin. Treating an unconscious and defenseless beauty was a very interesting thing to do.
"How can a kid who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth refine a Body Cleansing Pill? Even I have to be extremely careful when refining a pill like the Body Cleansing Pill. This Yi Yun will definitely refine a fake pill, and there will be large amounts of pill toxins left in it."
Even a passable pill would have remnant pill toxins, much less a bogus pill.
"From the looks of it, the bet in three days will be the punk's doomsday." Zuoqiu Haoyu heaved a sigh of relief. He had been somewhat worried when he heard that Yi Yun had refined the Body Cleansing Pills. Now, all his worries were unnecessary.
…
In a blink of an eye, three days passed. In these three days, Dong Shaoqing could be said to have no one to answer his pleas.
He did not know what had happened to his daughter. She was getting weaker day by day, and her signs of life were getting weaker and weaker. At this rate, it would only take a few days for his daughter to die. This was an unbearable blow for Dong Shaoqing.
He was now penniless and did not have any savings to treat his daughter's illness. Furthermore, no other alchemists were willing to take on the job. The only ones he could find were Yi Yun and Huyan Cang.
Sending his daughter to Huyan Cang was like sending a lamb to a tiger's den. If she were to be sent to Yi Yun, Yi Yun would be in seclusion and would not meet anyone.
The fact that Yi Yun had chosen to enter reclusion at this moment confirmed the fact that he had refined fake pills to deceive others. Clearly, he was using reclusion to escape.
But no matter what people said, Dong Shaoqing didn't believe that he had been cheated.
He had personally inspected the three pills. Even if he had made a mistake due to his poor eyesight, he had still seen Yi Yun's process of refining the pills with his own eyes. Even if he was a layman in alchemy, he could tell that Yi Yun's miraculous technique was not simple.
Under such circumstances, he held back his anxiety and did not disturb Yi Yun's seclusion. He knew that Yi Yun would soon exit seclusion. After all, today was the day he would refine the Supreme Palace Iceheart Pills.
Early this morning, Yi Yun came out of seclusion!
In the past three days, Yi Yun had used the Skydew Grass to refine the Skydew Soul Nourishing Pill. After consuming it, his soul greatly strengthened.
Before he could rejoice, he learned from Ru'er that Dong Xiaowan's life was in danger.
"Young Master, that is what happened …"
Ru'er had long known of the news, but she was only informing Yi Yun now. In her eyes, Yi Yun was naturally the most important.
"You are saying that Dong Xiaowan's life is in danger?" Yi Yun frowned.
"That's what everyone in Myriad City said. Sect Master Dong came to Yun Xin Loft a few days ago and personally told me about his daughter's situation. It's getting worse."
"Strange. The Body Cleansing Pills I refined should have extremely low pill toxins and mild medicinal properties. Even if she were to consume three in one go, there shouldn't be any problems."
Yi Yun found it incomprehensible. At that moment, his heart suddenly stirred. He sent a voice transmission to the door, "Sect Master Dong, I have come out of seclusion. Come in."
Dong Shaoqing had been waiting at Yun Xin Loft's entrance since last night. He was burning with anxiety and did not have the mood to do anything else. He had been counting every breath for three days.
Upon hearing Yi Yun's voice transmission, Dong Shaoqing was overjoyed. He immediately pushed the door open and gave Yi Yun a deep bow.
"Young Master Yi, please save my daughter no matter what!"
Dong Shaoqing could only pin his hopes on Yi Yun.
He knew that as long as Yi Yun did not deliberately refine fake pills, Yi Yun did not owe him anything. He also had no right to request Yi Yun to save his daughter. All he could do was plead with Yi Yun.
"Where's your daughter?" Yi Yun walked down the stairs as Dong Shaoqing hurriedly took out a mobile cave abode. In fact, it couldn't even be called a cave abode. It was only about ten feet in size and it was obviously a low-grade one. Even the mobile cave abode that Dong Shaoqing originally owned had probably been mortgaged for money.
When the miniature cave abode opened, Yi Yun saw Dong Xiaowan lying in it.
Dong Xiaowan was not tall and she had a petite figure. She was indeed very beautiful. Even though her face was pale from consuming the Body Cleansing Pills, it added a hint of delicate beauty to her.
Upon seeing Dong Xiaowan's state, Yi Yun sighed slightly. Her situation did not appear to be a side effect of consuming the Body Cleansing Pills.
"She seems to be … poisoned."
Yi Yun guessed. In the divine alchemist's notes, there were also records of treating illnesses and saving lives. Although Yi Yun had dabbled in it, he had not put it into practice. He was ultimately unable to turn it into a true skill of his own.
Therefore, Yi Yun found it difficult to bring Dong Xiaowan back to life. All he could do was guess the reason for her current state.
"Poisoned?" Dong Shaoqing was taken aback. The famous doctor who had treated Dong Xiaowan had also mentioned such a possibility. However, it was only one of the many possibilities.
"Why did Sect Master Dong give Dong Xiaowan the Body Cleansing Pills? It doesn't seem to be purely to enhance her talent."
Yi Yun was certain that his Body Cleansing Pills did not contain any pill toxins unless Dong Xiaowan had already been poisoned before consuming them.
"That's not the main reason." Dong Shaoqing hurriedly explained the entire situation.
"Oh? After she entered a mystic realm, her cultivation level did not improve no matter how much she cultivated? And the Body Cleansing Pills were prescribed by a famous doctor for Dong Xiaowan? "
Yi Yun recalled the records in the divine alchemist's notes. The famous doctor had used the Body Cleansing Pill as the main medicine to treat Dong Xiaowan. Yi Yun could not find any fault with it. Since the Body Cleansing Pill could cleanse the body, it could naturally expel evil and poisonous entities from the body.
However, Dong Xiaowan's life was in danger after consuming the Body Cleansing Pill!
Yi Yun pondered for a moment and said, "It looks like the poison in your daughter's body is no trifling matter. After consuming the Body Cleansing Pill, not only did it not evolve, it was instead stimulated. That's why her life is in danger."
After some thought, that was the only possibility.
Dong Shaoqing was stunned when he heard that. A sense of despair flashed in his heart. "What sort of strange poison is it that even the Body Cleansing Pill can't cure? How am I to save Xiaowan?"
Dong Shaoqing was truly helpless. Ignoring the fact that he was now bankrupt, even if his wealth from his peak was increased by ten times, he probably would not be able to save Dong Xiaowan.
Yi Yun said, "I can only give it a try. I'm not that good at saving people."
Yi Yun pinched Dong Xiaowan's pale and frail wrist and felt her pulse. Without actual experience, it was difficult to determine the outcome just from the divine alchemist's notes.
Indeed, Yi Yun felt that Dong Xiaowan's pulse was in chaos. He tried to figure out the cause but was left baffled.
After some thought, an idea came to Yi Yun. He opened the Purple Crystal's energy vision.
Ever since Yi Yun fused with the Azure Wood Divine Tree, his perception had been greatly enhanced. He could even penetrate Chaos Gems, so Yi Yun rarely used the Purple Crystal's energy vision.
Now, after such a long period of time, the moment he opened the energy vision, all the non-energy-based entities around him vanished from Yi Yun's vision. Dong Xiaowan's clothes and body became illusory lines.
As for the energy flowing in Dong Xiaowan's meridians and dantian, he could clearly see them. Following that, Yi Yun saw a scene that sent a chill down his spine.
He saw a hideous and aged face in Dong Xiaowan's body. And the face was smiling sinisterly at Yi Yun as though it was mocking him.
What was that!?
