Chapter 204 - "It Has Done Something Bad"

"While the Thousand Ant Poison might be difficult for others, our dear alchemist, Wen Sihan, has gotten his hands on quite a few rather useful pill formulas." Bai Rouyun did not feel bad at all for giving all credit to Wen Sihan.

The young alchemist could not help but feel his lips twitch. It was indeed true that he had gotten his hands on these pill recipes, but she had forgotten to say that she was the one who gave them to him.

In fact, when he had been gifted all these formulas, he had merely been a seventh-ranked alchemist. He had been complacent and assured of his own strength, thinking that with his talent, he was already a true genius, but after encountering these formulas, and learning from Bai Rouyun that there was another realm above the ones he was aware of, a strange anticipation and excitement had taken root in his heart.

He had completely dedicated his life to refining medicine, and his rank had risen to the eighth rank, even showing signs of reaching the ninth somewhat soon.

At the same time, the amount of herbs he had used was truly enough to purchase a whole kingdom, but he had also created mountains of pills, which in turn had caused the Eternal Shadow Palace to grow in strength rapidly.

This was also why he was not stingy at all when it came to helping this young man who had just pledged his loyalty to Bai Rouyun.

Dongfang Yu looked at the vial within his hands, and then he glanced at Bai Rouyun. "Should I eat this pill?" he asked gently. He did not fear that she would give him poison, but he had to ensure that her will was for him to consume the pill.

Seeing Bai Rouyun nod her head, he decisively opened the vial, and poured the pill out, before placing it in his mouth. There was no hesitation at all in his actions, showing that he had complete trust in what Bai Rouyun had planned for him.

The pill had a pleasant fragrance, which caused the mind to be relaxed. When it entered Dongfang Yu’s body, he felt as if he was submerged in a tub of cool, but pleasant water. The itchiness and pain that had been plaguing him for quite some time were relieved in an instant, but he was aware that it still had not detoxified him.

While the pain had vanished and was replaced with a comfortable coolness, he suddenly felt the medicinal properties, which had begun roaming his body, fighting against every spec of poison it encountered.

While it was painful, and sometimes so excruciating that cold sweat beaded on his forehead and his teeth were clenched so hard that one would expect they would shatter, he never uttered as much as a single gasp of pain.

Soon a foul smell began spreading in the room as black goo was pushed out of the pores in the skin. This was undoubtedly the toxic waste that had been inside his body previously.

The Thousand Ant Poison had been in his body for quite some time, and it was not easy to get rid of it. One of the reasons that it was so painful was due to the poison having taken root in his body, and the process of purifying each organ was excruciatingly painful.

Bai Rouyun and Wen Sihan observed the young man and his stubborn attempt at not saying a word as he was bearing the immense pain. Sweat was beading on his forehead, and his eyelashes were trembling.

It took the majority of the evening before the pain began to subside slowly, and at this point, Bai Rouyun started ordering Wen Sihan around.

They had no maids at the mansion, only hourly workers who came to clean, and thus the one who was tasked with finding a bathing tub and water became Wen Sihan.

The illustrious eighth-ranked alchemist suddenly found himself carrying a large barrel and countless buckets of water. He could not help but question his life choices, but as he began thinking, he shook his head. He would much rather be ordered around by Bai Rouyun than being without all the benefits she had given him, so his mood suddenly brightened as he poured the final bucket of water into the big bath.

"You will stay with Dongfang Yu and make sure that the cleansing was successful. Give him a Marrow-Cleansing Pill at the same time, and if you can, a Channel-Opening Pill as well."

Bai Rouyun was not suitable to stay within the room as the young man finished his purification, so after giving the final tasks to Wen Sihan, she returned to the main building, where Li Moyun was waiting for her.

As she entered the mansion, a golden light flashed, and before Bai Rouyun had the time to react, a small dragon had thrown itself into her embrace, resting its head on her bosom and looking frightened.

Looking at Xiao Long, which seemed somewhat uncomfortable, a confusing ray of light appeared in her eyes. Why was this little fellow, who was usually not scared of anything, suddenly trembling in fear and pressing itself into her embrace? Should it not seek comfort with its contractor?

Raising her head, she looked quizzically at Li Moyun, who was standing in the doorway with a glum expression on his face as he looked at the little dragon as if he could swallow it with his eyes.

"What happened?" she asked confusedly as she looked from one to the other. She could feel the trembling of the little dragon in her embrace, and her heart softened as she gently began stroking its scales, trying to calm it down.

"It has done something bad." Li Moyun glared at the little dragon with a murderous gleam in his eyes. Clearly, it was rather serious.
