Chapter 25: Can This Poison Be Cured?

***

“What exactly is going on?” Qingyao stared at Su Wanqing with some annoyance.

In her eyes, Su Wanqing had always been a very obedient junior sister. How could she do such a thing?

“It’s like this…” Su Wanqing calmed her heart slightly and briefly explained the cause and effect.

After listening to Su Wanqing’s account, Qingyao also calmed down.

“So it was a girl…”

Then she immediately reacted, asking in surprise: “That girl also became your junior sister?!”

“Mm…”

Su Wanqing gradually calmed down, the redness on her small face fading somewhat, turning into a somewhat cute pink color.

Qingyao pondered thoughtfully. She keenly sensed that things were not simple.

According to what Su Wanqing said, the Peach Fairy had ambushed her in advance, causing her to accidentally get poisoned.

But how did the Peach Fairy know that Su Wanqing was a Qinglan Sect disciple?

And how did she know Su Wanqing’s route?

You have to know that disciples going down the mountain to execute special missions would never wear Qinglan Sect Daoist robes, and only the Qinglan Sect disciples themselves would know the routes.

Unless… someone had leaked information!

Who could it be?

Who wanted to harm junior sister Wanqing? Or did they have other motives? Qingyao had a suspect in mind.

As for that little girl Lin Muyu, there were also strange aspects. Why was it so coincidental that she found Su Wanqing and brought her home?

However, that little girl seemed to be a mortal… If someone wanted to harm Su Wanqing, clearly a cultivator would be the best person to do it.

If it was just a mortal, she wouldn’t even be able to resist Su Wanqing when she was having an episode, and would instead be…

Just as Qingyao was stroking her smooth chin with one hand while thinking, Su Wanqing’s words interrupted her thoughts.

“Senior Sister Qingyao, I came to find you to check whether this poison still remains in my body.”

Only then did Qingyao react. Due to being too shocked by that information just now, she still hadn’t gotten to the main business.

She then sat up straight and said:

“Give me your hand again.”

Su Wanqing obediently extended her hand. Qingyao also began taking her pulse like before, closing her eyes.

A faint green light cluster once again merged into Su Wanqing’s body.

As time passed, Qingyao’s brow furrowed deeper and deeper, as if the situation was severe.

Seeing Qingyao’s expression becoming increasingly serious, Su Wanqing’s heart immediately sank, and she couldn’t help but purse her lips, starting to worry.

Before long, Qingyao stopped taking her pulse, opened her eyes, and remained silent without saying a word.

“Senior Sister?” Seeing this situation, Su Wanqing couldn’t help but worry.

“Xiao Qing, what’s your impression of that new junior sister?”

Qingyao didn’t directly answer Su Wanqing, but instead asked about Lin Muyu.

“Huh? Why are you asking about her?” Su Wanqing’s head tilted to one side in confusion.

“Answer Senior Sister first.” Qingyao didn’t explain and continued pressing.

“Um… she’s alright? She’s quite cute?”

Although she didn’t understand Qingyao’s meaning, Su Wanqing still voiced her thoughts.

In her eyes, although she had only known Lin Muyu for a few days, what happened between them was unforgettable for life.

Fortunately, Lin Muyu wasn’t a bad person. That soft body was unexpectedly very comfortable.

Even her crying voice was quite cute…

Cough cough, what was she thinking?!

Thinking of this, Su Wanqing’s face, which had gradually returned to calm, actually turned slightly red again.

Her face had completed multiple color changes in a short time, which was quite magical.

“That’s good…” Qingyao sighed.

“I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave her for a short time.”

“What do you mean?” Hearing this, Su Wanqing was stunned, her bright eyes filled with confusion.

“This poison is a famous poison from the Hehuan Sect, Heavenly Hehuan!”

Qingyao slowly explained.

“It has a characteristic: when the poison flares up, someone must help relieve it. You cannot relieve it yourself. If no one helps, at best your cultivation will decrease, at worst you’ll die.”

Qingyao paused for a moment, looking at Su Wanqing with a worried expression, and continued:

“This poison has another characteristic, which is… it can only be completely detoxified within two times.”

“It can only be completely detoxified within two times?”

Su Wanqing was somewhat confused about what these two times meant.

“This was your third time, wasn’t it?”

Qingyao looked at Su Wanqing with a peculiar expression.

Su Wanqing immediately understood: “So it’s that kind of two times…”

“The first time the poison flares up, the poison hides on the body surface. It can be detoxified with a specially made detoxification pill.”

“The second time the poison flares up, the poison hides in the meridians. It needs a specially made detoxification pill combined with spiritual energy circulation to detoxify.”

“The third time the poison flares up, the poison spreads throughout the entire body. It cannot be detoxified by external force, and it will flare up at regular intervals.”

Listening to Qingyao’s words, Su Wanqing’s small face turned pale with fright, and she said in a lost voice:

“Cannot be detoxified?!”

If it cannot be detoxified, wouldn’t that mean she’d have to find someone to do that kind of thing every time?!

Although Lin Muyu’s body was very soft, she had promised Lin Muyu that she wouldn’t be as presumptuous as before…

Su Wanqing could figure out with her toes that Lin Muyu definitely wouldn’t want to do that kind of thing again.

After all, when the poison flared up, she was completely unclear-minded and wouldn’t hold back at all… With her Foundation Establishment stage physique, even if Lin Muyu entered the Qi Refining stage, it would still be very painful for her.

So this kind of thing might be quite pleasant for herself, but for Lin Muyu, only pain remained.

“It’s not that it cannot be detoxified, but that it cannot be detoxified by external force.” Seeing Su Wanqing’s pale face, Qingyao quickly explained.

“Then how can it be detoxified?” Su Wanqing seemed to see hope and hurriedly asked.

“You need to advance to the Nascent Soul stage yourself. The domain of the Nascent Soul stage can naturally dissolve this poison.”

“So before that, you might have to keep troubling that junior sister of yours…”

Qingyao didn’t dare to look at Su Wanqing’s face anymore. Although Su Wanqing was already close to breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

But the higher the cultivation level, the more time it takes to cultivate. Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage would take at least several decades, or several years even for someone with exceptional talent…

Unless there was a special fortuitous encounter, it would be impossible to reach the Nascent Soul stage in a short time.

This was also the disgusting aspect of this poison. If the first two times weren’t taken seriously and the poison wasn’t removed in time, then this poison would accompany one for a very long time…

For those without enough talent to break through to Nascent Soul, this poison would accompany them for life.

Su Wanqing immediately collapsed to the ground, her face full of despair. Although she was confident about breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, it couldn’t possibly be in a short time.

This meant that before breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, she would be troubled by this poison.

And during this period, what should she do?

Still find Lin Muyu?

But she definitely wouldn’t agree. After all, that kind of pain was unbearable for ordinary people, and she could only force her.

But she had promised not to force her to do that kind of thing again…

Although she could ignore this promise, since Lin Muyu had no way to resist her, Lin Muyu was still her junior sister after all…

How could she do such a thing?

“What should I do…”
