Chapter 2061: Chapter 2061 Repaying Life With a Life
"Hurry! Go get him! My alchemy alchemy apprentice is poisoned!" Bai Feng urgently articulated.
"Alright!" Ye Liuyun agreed, immediately running back to look for Jin Qingsong.
Soon enough, Jin Qingsong was pulled out of the hall by Ye Liuyun.
"Elder Bai, Minghui is poisoned? Where is she?" Jin Qingsong asked instantly upon seeing Bai Feng.
"She’s at my mountain peak. She was on a mission for the sect. When she got poisoned, someone sent her back. Come with me quickly to check on her!" Bai Feng said as she turned around to leave.
Jin Qingsong immediately followed. Ye Liuyun activated his Soaring Boots and rushed after them at full speed. It was fortunate that Jin Qingsong was not too fast, or Ye Liuyun would have been left behind.
Jin Qingsong saw Ye Liuyun tailing him but didn’t bother to chase him off. He thought that he wanted to learn about concocting antidotes.
Zhang Minghui, Bai Feng’s disciple, was severely poisoned and had already begun to turn black throughout her body when they arrived.
She was temporarily depending on Bai Feng’s genuine energy at this moment to delay the poison from killing her.
Ye Liuyun activated his Golden Phantom Eyes, giving her a full-body check over, only to discover that Zhang Minghui was not only poisoned but also infected with Devil Qi. Her wound was on her ankle, no doubt inflicted by a Devil Beast.
Furthermore, the poison she was afflicted with was slammed into her back by a palm strike. This showed that the person who poisoned her had cultivated a poison technique.
If she was given the antidote, it would not be this severe. She must have been in battle at the time which prevented her from taking the antidote, causing damage to her organs.
The symptoms were significantly more serious than Liu Xing’s.
Looking at Zhang Minghui’s condition, Jin Qingsong couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
His analysis was not much different from what Ye Liuyun thought, only that he hadn’t noticed where her wound was.
"How did she get injured like this?" asked Jin Qingsong.
"I’m not sure, she was sent back to us in this state," Bai Feng replied hastily.
"She was bitten by a Devil Beast on the ankle and struck on the back. It suggests that the person who attacked her has been practising poison techniques," Ye Liuyun chimed in when he realised they were wasting time.
"How do you know that?" Bai Feng questioned, perplexed. She did not wait for Ye Liuyun’s explanation and stood between them and Minghui to tend her wounds. With one glance, she knew he was right.
"He’s right. Is there a cure?" Bai Feng asked Jin Qingsong.
"The combination of multi poisons and Devil Qi is difficult to dispel. Furthermore, the poison has severely affected her. Her body can’t handle much more. It’s possible that she may not withstand the effects of medication and could end up dead. Even if she survives, she probably won’t be able to use her virtuoso anymore," Jin Qingsong explained with a regrettable tone.
"What?" Bai Feng was stunned by what she heard.
"You must save her. Even if she ends up powerless, you must keep her alive. I will take care of her. Also, I need to know who did this to her to avenge her,"
Bai Feng said as tears streamed down her face. She adamantly requested Jin Qingsong to save Zhang Minghui.
However, Jin Qingsong only shook his head in despair. He thought that even if Zhang Minghui survived, it wouldn’t mean much.
"Master, you should quickly concoct the antidote! Let Elder Bai Feng decide whether to use it or not!" suggested Ye Liuyun.
"Fine!" Jin Qingsong agreed to it reluctantly, not wanting Ye Liuyun to think he was ignorant of life and death.
After Jin Qingsong left, Ye Liuyun stayed behind.
Bai Feng continued to provide Zhang Minghui with genuine energy to maintain her vital signs. However, she couldn’t stop her tears from trickling down her face.
"She was abandoned by her parents at a young age. And since then, she has always been with me. She is very sensible. I used to be strict with her in my teaching and rarely showed her a friendly face. I was afraid that she would slack off in her cultivation. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this..."
Bai Feng seemed to be explaining to Ye Liuyun, blaming herself at the same time.
"I have a way to save her!" Ye Liuyun suddenly spoke.
"You do?" Bai Feng asked as hope sparked in her eyes for a flash second.
If Jin Qingsong couldn’t save her, how could his disciple possibly do?
But then again, she remembered that Ye Liuyun could accurately point out Zhang Minghui’s injury. It was an indication of his exceptional skills. So she asked again, "How can you save her?"
"I have a special constitution in my body that allows me to absorb all the poison in her body into mine," Ye Liuyun explained.
This was the only detoxifying strategy he knew. No matter what kind of poison it was, he could absorb the poison and turn it into a poison source,
When Bai Feng heard this, she was intrigued and asked, "Won’t you also be poisoned? How is that going to save her?"
"What you think applies to ordinary people. Like I said, I have a special constitution that allows me to absorb all her poison!" Ye Liuyun said firmly.
He knew that Bai Feng might not believe him easily. So he spoke with more conviction.
Bai Feng’s mouth fell agape upon hearing this. She had never heard of a poison detoxification technique like this.
After a pause, she asked Ye Liuyun, "After the poison has migrated to you, what would you do then?"
"It will take time for me to gradually neutralise it, and I may not be able to. There is a risk to this." Ye Liuyun remarked idly.
Bai Feng asked Ye Liuyun once again, "Do you truly have this kind of ability?" after she took some moment to digest her surprise.
Ye Liuyun nodded and confirmed, "Without this ability, I wouldn’t dare to offer myself! That’ll mean dragging my own life down with her!"
Bai Feng thought about it, then asked Ye Liuyun, "But what happens if you cannot neutralize the poison yourself? How do I explain this to your master? Can you transfer all the poison to me? I’m not afraid of death, as long as I can save her, it doesn’t matter if I die."
Ye Liuyun repeatedly shook his head, "I’m incapable of that. I can only absorb the poison to myself. If transferred to me, I might be able to slowly resolve it. But if it’s transferred to you, it will certainly kill you!"
Bai Feng started to hesitate. She had never heard of this method before. Hence, she was unsure whether to believe Ye Liuyun.
Even if Ye Liuyun truly had this ability, she was afraid it could cost him his life.
However, Ye Liuyun urged again. "If you want to save her, you need to decide right away. Once my master returns, he will never allow me to take the risk. By then, it will be too late!"
Bai Feng clenched her teeth and made a decision, overwhelmed by the urgency of the issue.
"Alright! If you can save her, I will owe you my life! From now on, as long as you want anything, even if it involves murder and arson, I’ll do precisely that!"
"Are you sure?" Ye Liuyun reconfirmed it with her.
Bai Feng was firm and immediately issued a master-servant contract, recognizing Ye Liuyun as her master, with the precondition that Ye Liuyun could save Zhang Minghui.
"The moment she is saved, the soul contract will immediately take effect!"
"Time is of the essence and saving her life is the priority. I won’t decline," Ye Liuyun agreed.
After signing the soul contract with Bai Feng, he told Bai Feng to step away to prevent her from witnessing how he did his healing.
Bai Feng thought that Ye Liuyun had to undress Zhang Minghui to absorb the poison. She ignored her reservations at this crucial moment and even assisted Ye Liuyun in undressing Zhang Minghui.
