Chapter 301 The Eve of Departure
One year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Jicheng is still in a state of deathly silence, and the towering black mushrooms are still there, unchanged at all. They seem to be drinking and sucking in the flesh and blood and essence provided by Jicheng, looking like they are still unsatisfied.
Inside the Lingpu Cave.
Ning Daoran slowly spread his hands, and a strand of mycelium was constantly turning under the magic power of Evergreen Jue. In these days, except for practice time, he has been studying this mycelium toxin.
"Sir, the poison contains life, I guess it is not dead."
On the side, Xiaobai is also observing repeatedly and giving some opinions at any time.
"Yeah."
Ning Daoran nodded: "I feel it too, and as we can see, this toxin belongs to the wood attribute. Even the black mushroom demon may be of the wood attribute."
He frowned: "It's just that during this period of time, I tried to use the golden sword to suppress the poison, but it was useless. Although the golden sword divided gold and jade, it had no inhibitory effect on this kind of toxin that spread wantonly."
Xiaobai nodded with deep approval.
"Lao Su's illness is getting worse and worse."
Ning Daoran frowned and said: "Since yesterday, mushrooms have begun to grow on his chest... It almost frightened Su Mei and Chi Susu. Moreover, the effect of my Eternal Evergreen Art on toxin suppression is getting worse and worse. If I don't find it again, If you use restraint, I’m afraid Lao Su won’t be able to hold on anymore.”
"Alas..."
Xiaobai sighed helplessly. She was just a demon king, not a miracle doctor. She was good at killing people, but she rarely did things like saving people.
At this moment, the big stupid deer came from the direction of the Emerald Spiritual Spring, barking with a slightly anxious expression.
"What's the matter, Old Lu?"
Ning Daoran frowned, but saw the big stupid deer moved away, revealing the green water turtle behind him.
"Brother Ran..."
The green water turtle's voice was slightly weak.
"What's going on?"
Ning Daoran was slightly shocked when he discovered that the body of the green water turtle was covered with black mycelium, and even it had been infected by toxins.
"Not good!"
Ning Daoran hurriedly stepped forward, injected a ray of Evergreen Jue mana to help the green water turtle stabilize its breath, frowned and asked: "Since when did it start, how do you feel?"
"It started three days ago."
The green water turtle said: "I just feel a little weak and numb in my body. I have lost consciousness in the place where the mycelium grows. I don't feel anything else, and my breath has not changed much."
Indeed, the green water turtle's monster aura is still very strong.
On the side, Xiao Bai observed carefully and said: "Sir, generally speaking, there are only two situations: poisoning and complete immunity. The green water turtle can grow mycelium, but its life signs are not affected. Rare.”
"So..."
An answer emerged in Ning Daoran's mind: "Actually, Xiaogui can resist toxins?"
"Exactly."
"Very good."
Ning Daoran immediately said: "Xiaogui, give me a drop of blood essence. I want to study it."
"Yes, Brother Ran..."
After Ning Xiaogui forced out a drop of blood, he went to rest and lay listlessly in the vegetable field. From a distance, it looked like a pile of green feces.
……
A few days later, before Ning Daoran could figure out the reason, the green water turtle had recovered without any medicine. All the hyphae on its body fell off on its own, and the turtle's shell and skin were smooth, and it was once again full of life.
Ning Daoran did not slack off and continued to study countermeasures.
A year later, Ning Daoran finally came out of seclusion.
As a third-level top-level alchemist, he developed a new type of elixir called Xuanguang Dan, which was refined from more than a dozen herbs such as Optical Grass and Tianluo Dan. Compared with Ning Xiaogui's drop of blood essence , the drug ingredients derived from it.
In the evening, he planned to let Su Chuanping test the medicine.
In the dark little room in the inner room of the drug store, an oil lamp flickered.
Su Chuanping was lying on the bed dying, with clusters of mushrooms growing on his chest, looking neither human nor ghost. The smell of mushrooms filling his nose made him extremely painful, as if he could stew a chicken if he threw himself into the pot.
"Old Su."
Ning Daoran sat in the chair opposite and said solemnly: "I'm not sure whether this elixir is effective, and I don't know anything about whether this elixir will have any side effects, but There is a chance to rid your body of the demon toxin, are you willing to give it a try?"
"Ning...Mr. Ning Xiao..."
Su Chuanping's voice was weak and he said with a wry smile: "Do I have any other choice? Let me try the medicine. Now I am looking like a living being worse than death. No matter whether I can be cured or not, I don't want to be like this anymore."
"Dad!"
Not far away, Su Mei's eyes were red: "How about... let's think about it again?"
"I won't consider it anymore."
Su Chuanping was straightforward and laughed in a low voice: "Dad You has been impatient all his life, adhering to a brave and decisive style. Now he has had enough of being like a man and a ghost. Mr. Ning Xiao..."
He looked up at Ning Daoran and said: "If I fail to test the medicine, Mei'er will be alone. If Mr. Ning Xiao is intentional, he will marry her as his wife. If not, please find a way to take her with him." Leaving Jicheng, as long as you can walk out..."
"Don't worry, Old Su."
Ning Daoran said with relief: "I feel that this elixir will probably work!"
"Really?"
"Open your mouth."
The moment Su Chuanping opened his mouth, Ning Daoran shot a three-pointer, and Su Chuanping swallowed a Xuanguang Dan. The next time was waiting. On the first day, there wasn’t much movement.
Although Su Mei didn't say anything, her face was full of anxiety.
The next day, a little blood finally appeared on Su Chuanping's face, and there seemed to be signs of recovery.
Five days later, the mushroom on Su Chuanping's chest began to fall off, revealing the bright red flesh underneath.
Ten days later, those hyphae finally began to fall off, and the warrior blood energy in Su Chuanping's body began to circulate and enter a state of recovery.
Half a month later, Su Chuanping recovered more than half and was able to get out of bed and walk, and his strength returned to the initial level of the Condensate Realm.
……
At this time, Jicheng had been trapped for two years, and the city had long become dead silent.
Except for the medicine shop, almost all the creatures in Jicheng became nutrients for the towering black mushrooms. However, no one in the city knew about the peripheral things, nor did they know whether the imperial court had sent someone or overhaul to rescue them.
Su Mei, Chi Susu and others were very optimistic, saying that the imperial court would not abandon Jicheng and would definitely send people to rescue it.
Ning Daoran didn't think so. A "demon" like the black mushroom could kill an ordinary monk if he was exposed to it. And there has been no movement for two years. It is conceivable that the imperial court has basically given up on Jicheng. , and had no intention of sending anyone to rescue him.
In the evening, oil lamps flickered.
Ning Daoran gathered everyone together and said: "It has been two years, and my understanding of the devil has been quite deep, so I will send you away from Jicheng next."
"Are you leaving?" A group of martial arts disciples looked excited.
"Yeah."
Ning Daoran nodded: "I will leave at dawn tomorrow. I won't be able to come back to Jicheng in a short time. You must be prepared to make a living outside. With the strength of Lao Su and Su Mei, I believe they will go to other cities to establish Martial Arts School shouldn’t be a problem either.”
Su Chuanping was convinced, he was very confident.
After everyone dispersed, Ning Daoran came to the inner room and said: "Susu, come in."
"Yes, sir!"
Chi Susu walked into the inner room.
Ning Daoran released a restraint to isolate the sound, and said: "Susu, you have been following me for six years. This maid has done a good job. You are also responsible for the good business of the drug store. After you leave Jicheng tomorrow, you will Just stay with Lao Su and Su Mei and find a place to eat in the future Su Family Martial Arts School. I believe they will not treat you badly.”
"Master..."
Chi Susu's eyes instantly filled with tears: "I can't bear to leave the young master..."
"When we meet in life, there will eventually be a difference."
Ning Daoran's eyes were indifferent: "Lao Lu and I are going to further places for training and will experience a more dangerous and turbulent future. You can easily lose your life by following us."
"Yes, Master..."
"This is for you."
Ning Daoran took out five hundred spiritual stones from his storage bag and handed them to her, saying: "Hide them well. These spiritual stones are enough for your brother to cultivate to the liquid condensation realm. If it doesn't work, you can buy some real estate elsewhere, and it will be enough to support you." Live a prosperous life.”
"Master..."
"Hide these."
Ning Daoran said: "Go out and let Su Mei come in."
"Yes!"
Chi Susu walked out with tears streaming down her face and said: "Miss Su, the master lets you go in."
"Okay."
Su Mei stood up and walked into the hut with some anxiety.
"Miss Su."
Ning Daoran said: "I have said before that you have a good talent for cultivating immortals. In fact, you can completely cultivate both body and law. Otherwise, if you just practice martial arts, you will not be able to go far in the end. Although a martial artist is strong, his lifespan is short. Since you have spiritual roots and good talents in cultivating immortals and practicing martial arts, you shouldn’t give up this opportunity.”
As he spoke, he took out a heavy storage bag and handed it out.
"Brother Ning, this is..."
Su Mei looked confused and didn't dare to accept it.
"Take it."
Ning Daoran stuffed the storage bag into her hand and said: "This storage bag contains five thousand spiritual stones, which is enough for you to practice to the later stage of Foundation Establishment. In addition, there is a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, and another one that I have streamlined." Can you ever live a successful life? Try to replace the basic exercises with Changqing Jue, which may be more beneficial to your practice. In addition, there are some pills for improving the Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage, as well as some level-breaking pills for small realms."
He frowned: "I haven't prepared too many treasures for you. A top-grade magic weapon, plus a mid-grade spiritual weapon and a top-grade spiritual weapon are all suitable for you. If you are diligent enough, you can cultivate to the level of It will definitely not be a problem in the later stages of the foundation, and if your chances are good enough, you may have the opportunity to form an elixir in the future.”
Facing such a huge gift, Su Mei was speechless for a moment.
Her path to immortality was led by an old casual cultivator, but the master had not appeared for more than ten years. She was groping all by herself. She who knew a little about the world of immortality naturally knew the value of these things that Ning Daoran had brought out. No matter how high it is, even ten Su family martial arts schools tied together may not be worth the value of this small storage bag.
"By the way, there is also a beauty pill here."
Ning Daoran took out a jade bottle again and said: "It can stabilize your appearance at this moment, and save you from turning into an old woman when we meet again in the future."
Su Mei accepted the jade bottle and said nothing, but crystal tears kept sliding down her cheeks.
……
Soon after, Su Mei walked out of the inner room, and Ning Daoran's voice came from inside: "Old Su, come in."
"Huh?"
Su Chuanping was shocked: "Even me?"
