Volume 3: A drop in the ocean Chapter 40: A drop of water is returned with a spring of gratitude

This was a restless night. After Feng Yan quietly left the secret room, Long Yu did not return to the bedroom to rest. Because he was worried about Wei Xingying, he turned around and went to the Five Poison Garden again.
Poppy.
At this time, she was sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking at him who broke into the room in astonishment, and her right arm was hanging high, and there was a silver thread trembling above her pulse, and on the silver thread, it seemed that there were tiny blood beads flowing faintly with the release of her spiritual power. Long Yu looked along the blood-colored silver thread and found that the other end of the silver thread was tied to another arm. The owner of that arm was also sitting cross-legged opposite to Gong Lili. The man with white hair and beard and wrinkles on his face was Wei Xingying, who had been injured by the spy of the Kongming tribe and had been unconscious.
Wei Xingying had woken up at this time, but his face was still pale without a trace of blood. Seeing Long Yu so nervous, his heart moved slightly, but he turned his head away guiltily, looked at Gong Lili with a pleading look, and then looked at the other person standing beside the bed.
"Xingying , are you awake?" Long Yu's questioning eyes fell on Wei Xingying's pale face, and then turned to Ying Lili, asking inquiringly: "What are you doing?"
Before the two men could answer, another person in the room had already stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Long Yu. This person was the imperial physician who had previously opened up the eight extraordinary meridians for Gong Lili.
"Your Highness, this Miss Ping is using her own 'Nine Desolations Mysterious Yin Blood' to help Lord Xingying remove the poison."
"Oh? What happened? Did the spy from the Kongming tribe poison you?" Long Yu quickly walked up to Xingying and asked anxiously. At this time, his brows were twisted into a line and his eyes were as cold as a thousand-year-old ice!
"Uncle, you misunderstood. This poison was not given by someone else. I planted it myself when I was refining the Soul Blood Curse decades ago. I was too eager to get the 'Nine Desolations Mysterious Yin Blood' of this girl, so I poured all my spiritual energy into her, hoping to instantly increase her spiritual power to refine the elixir. But I didn't expect that such haste would eventually come at a price. Although I forcibly broke the seal of the Blood Soul Curse, the toxins that I inhaled into my body when I was refining the Soul Blood Curse were still lurking in my body. That's why the poison suddenly took effect when the spy from the Kongming tribe came to snatch people, causing her to lose consciousness." Wei Xingying's voice became lower and lower, but it was not known whether it was because of his weak body or because of shame.
It turned out that although Wei Xingying was the son of the eldest princess of the Ruoye tribe, Long Xin, and the young master Wei Shucheng in plain clothes, he learned the same skills as his parents. Because he grew up with Long Yu, he first learned some basic self-defense skills from Feng Yan. Later, when he was a little older, Long Yu let him travel around. By chance, he became a disciple of a great master who was good at using poisons. After practicing for decades, he made some achievements in poisoning and detoxification. Later, he somehow got some alchemy skills from the Shen family in Wucheng.
Spirit Blood Curse.
Legend has it that this is a wonderful technique that can refine the toxicity of dozens of the world's most powerful poisons and the spirituality of hundreds of elixirs through one's own blood within the body, and then refine one's body into a body that is immune to all poisons, indestructible, and immortal.
It's a pity that the Spirit Blood Curse is not an easy technique to refine. Wei Xingying had originally realized something decades ago, but because he was missing the most critical ingredient, his efforts failed and he was accidentally attacked back, causing his body to be corroded by the poison. He could breathe and have a heartbeat, but he couldn't hear or speak, and his limbs couldn't move, just like a zombie.
"Blood of the Nine Desolations and Mysterious Yin".
"Nine Desolate Mysterious Yin Blood" almost only exists in ancient legends. It is said that this is a precious blood type that can encompass everything, absorb and refine all the elements of the world, taking the essence and discarding the dregs. However, this blood type is also strange. For people with this blood type, except for being able to more easily absorb the energy of the world for their own use after reaching a very high level of cultivation, it is not very useful. And only for those who are proficient in refining, it is a rare and wonderful medicine, comparable to Phoenix Tears and Kylin Marrow.
They were all great wizards of the Shamo tribe, and they were all women.
When Wei Xingying realized the key, he was helpless. That was decades ago, and Ping Lili had not yet reincarnated. Everyone knew that after the previous great wizard Yao Ji of the Shamo clan was sealed, the God of Shamo, Jianyi, had never reincarnated again. So Long Yu and Wei Xingying were already in despair. They thought that they could only rely on the Soul-Separation Guide to hold on. As long as their physical bodies were not destroyed, they would be able to come up with some other ways after a few decades or even hundreds of years.
Unexpectedly, only a few decades later, Yao Ji was reincarnated. When Wei Xingying felt the Netherworld Fire of Ying Lili in the underground secret room, he was extremely excited and thought it was a godsend. After rescuing Ying Lili, he couldn't wait to throw her into the alchemy furnace he had prepared long ago, and poured all his spiritual power into her, preparing to forcibly improve her spiritual power, and then use a drop of her "Nine Desolations Mysterious Yin Blood" to complete the final refining and remove the backlash of his own spiritual blood curse. However, he didn't expect that because he acted too hastily , he would have such sequelae.
This is what Ying Lili heard from the imperial physician when she was invited to the Five Poisons Garden to exorcise the poison for Wei Xingying. The reason why she was willing to help Wei Xingying again was entirely because of his father Wei Shucheng and Long Yu.
Besides, Wei Xingying did save her once after all. Of course, if we ignore the fact that he threw her in to make the elixir, there didn't seem to be any loss so far, so Ying Lili automatically ignored it.
If someone does you a favor, you should repay them with a spring. This is the principle of life that Peng Lili has always adhered to, and this time is no exception.
So, Gong Lili, who had been silent just now, spoke lightly, with a somewhat teasing tone: "I have lived for so long in vain, and never knew that I was actually the rare 'Nine Desolations Mysterious Yin Blood', which even has the universal effect of detoxifying and refining elixirs. Wow, this is more precious than panda blood!" Before he finished speaking, he actually chuckled at himself.
At this moment, Wei Xingying's face suddenly changed. With a "pu" sound, a mouthful of black blood spurted out of his mouth. His head was already sweating profusely, and the sweat was also pitch black .
The imperial physician hurried forward to feel Wei Xingying's meridians. After a while, a hint of joy appeared on his face: "It's done!"
Then, he bent his index finger, and the silver thread that was originally tied to Wei Xingying and Ying Lili's arms whooshed away from their pulses and fell into the hands of the imperial physician. Only then did Long Yu understand that the silver thread tied to their arms was used to draw blood.
The great hero who saved the life, Gong Lili, quickly jumped off the bed, stood at the head of the bed, shook her stiff arms slightly, stared at Wei Xingying with wide eyes, then looked at the imperial physician: "Is it done? So simple?" Looking at her tone, it seemed as if it was not enough.
Wei Xingying pointed to the palm-sized jade-colored porcelain bottle placed at the head of his bed with a trembling finger, and said to the imperial physician with a gasp, "Please find me one Nirvana Huifeng Pill and two Nine-Turn Wuxiang Pills."
The imperial physician quickly grabbed the jade-colored porcelain bottle, poured out the medicine inside, then picked out a crystal clear small white pill and two slightly reddish pills and placed them in Wei Xingying's palm. Wei Xingying swallowed the pills into his mouth, then closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing. As black mist gradually rose above his head, his face gradually began to turn rosy.
"The poison in Lady Xingying's body has been controlled. She will be able to move as usual after a few days of spiritual energy conditioning." The imperial physician saw this and explained quickly. Then he couldn't help but look at Ying Lili: "I didn't expect Miss Ying's 'Nine Desolations Mysterious Yin Blood' to be so powerful. I am really enlightened."
Before he finished speaking, a cold voice came from behind him: "She is the 'Blood of the Nine Desolations'. You'd better forget about it immediately, or take it directly into the coffin..."
"I understand, I understand..." The doctor nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, but his face turned pale. Seeing this, Ying Lili felt a little sympathetic towards him. She had a good impression of the doctor. He had saved her once before and opened up her meridians, so she had a good impression of him. She quickly spoke up to speak for him, "Long Yu, stop scaring him. I think he knows the importance of things and won't say anything nonsense."
At this moment, the imperial physician was secretly glancing at Gong Lili, with a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.
Long Yu just frowned and looked at Ping Lili who was standing beside him, only to find that her face was also pale and bloodless: "How are you? Are you okay?"
Ping Lili shook her head slightly: "It's okay, this little bit of blood is nothing."
At this time, Ying Lili had changed into normal clothes. Her long black satin hair was tied up high with an emerald green silk ribbon. She wore an emerald green silk short shirt that looked light and fluttering. She was wearing an ivory long skirt and a goose yellow long belt around her waist. Such a simple outfit made her look very smart.
"Thank you." Long Yu looked at her intently for a long time before he uttered these words softly.
"It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning. Besides, I don't know how to repay you for what you've done for me, so what's this little favor?" She tilted her head slightly and smiled brightly.
Long Yu was slightly stunned, then he reached out, took her hand, and said lightly: "I'll take you to a place."
