Zhao Rushi looked at Lin Chen, then glanced at her own beloved disciple, as if she had understood something.
"What exactly happened in the secret realm?"
Seeing Zhao Rushi looking as if she was about to blame Lin Chen for something, Xu Ma’an hurriedly came forward and started asking Lin Chen and his companions what had happened.
Let the young resolve their own issues. Xu Ma’an, who had once been young himself, naturally knew that something must have transpired between Lin Chen and Wang Yilin.
Upon hearing Xu Ma’an’s words, Lin Chen, Xu Lianyu, Wang Yilin, and the others furrowed their brows deeply.
They recounted everything that had happened in the secret realm, including the encounter with the Demon Cultivator of the Black Cloud Sect and the betrayal by Xu Qiang and Huang Liang.
After hearing everyone’s account, the expressions of Xu Ma’an and the other Peak Masters became grave.
Lin Chen quietly and secretly observed the changes in the expressions of the various Peak Masters.
"Grandfather, how is Master?"
After relating the events that had taken place in the secret realm, Xu Lianyu asked about Yang Yuemin’s condition.
Xu Lianyu had lost her parents at a young age and had grown up in the Jade Cauldron Sect. She had power and influence, and she had a grandfather who loved her dearly and was the Sect Master, but Xu Ma’an, after all, was a man, and he could not provide the same kind of affection as Yang Yuemin did for Xu Lianyu.
In Xu Lianyu’s heart, the importance of Yang Yuemin was equal to that of Xu Ma’an.
Upon hearing Xu Lianyu’s question, the expressions on the faces of Xu Ma’an, Zhao Rushi, and other Peak Masters became very ugly.
Xu Lianyu was not an unreasonable person and could naturally tell that Yang Yuemin’s situation was likely very grim.
Xu Ma’an shook his head and sighed. He felt incredibly sad, as he naturally wanted to rid his cherished junior sister, who had taken great care of his granddaughter since her infancy, of the deadly poison in her body.
But the poison afflicting Yang Yuemin was a severe toxin caused by the Yin Sha Qi. Despite trying everything, he could not completely cure her; only the Dragon Whisker Polygonum could do it.
"Among the disciples, has anyone managed to obtain the Dragon Whisker Polygonum?"
Although Xu Ma’an was not very hopeful, he still asked the question.
"The Dragon Whisker Polygonum is on me."
As Lin Chen spoke, he took out the Dragon Whisker Polygonum from his Spatial Ring. During his time in the secret realm, he had looked for an opportunity to take the Dragon Whisker Polygonum out of the space within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron and placed it into his Spatial Ring.
After all, the power of Xu Ma’an and the other Peak Masters was very strong, and who knew if they would notice something off.
Upon seeing the Dragon Whisker Polygonum in Lin Chen’s hand, the eyes of Xu Ma’an and the others lit up immediately. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoveI[F]ire.net
"This is great, Junior Sister’s poison can be cured."
A look of joy appeared on Xu Ma’an’s face, and he then asked Lin Chen to hand over the Dragon Whisker Polygonum to him.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen did not hesitate at all. He naturally trusted Xu Ma’an, but when Lin Chen had taken out the Dragon Whisker Polygonum, he noticed that the expressions of the other Peak Masters were not quite natural, with some even revealing a fervent gleam in their eyes.
Given the level of cultivation of the Peak Masters, ordinary Low Grade and even Middle Grade Spirit Stones could no longer have much effect on them, and the same was true for low-level elixirs.
Once cultivation reached their level, they could only rely on High-Grade Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to aid their cultivation, so the Dragon Whisker Polygonum was naturally of great help to them.
However, everyone also knew that the Dragon Whisker Polygonum was meant to save Yang Yuemin’s life, and they naturally did not dare to covet it.
After receiving the Dragon Whisker Polygonum, Xu Ma’an, along with Zhao Rushi and the others, went to Jade Bird Peak.
Lin Chen, along with Xu Lianyu, followed them back to Jade Bird Peak because refining the antidote would take some time. So after Xu Ma’an and Zhao Rushi had examined Yang Yuemin’s condition, they left to discuss how to detoxify her.
Lin Chen and Xu Lianyu walked into the room, only to see Yang Yuemin lying on the bed covered with a thin veil, in a state of unconsciousness.
As Lin Chen and Xu Lianyu approached Yang Yuemin to check her condition, Xu Lianyu’s face suddenly turned ugly, and her eyes began to well up with tears.
"Junior Brother, what’s happened to Master? Why has her skin turned black? Is there something wrong with her?"
Xu Lianyu sobbed uncontrollably.
The skin of Yang Yuemin that was exposed was covered with countless fine black lines, her cheeks were pale, her body without any color and also cold, not resembling a living person at all.
"Don’t worry, Senior Sister. Master will be alright. Let’s go back for now. There’s no point in worrying. Let Master rest properly. Once Uncle Master Zhao and your grandfather refine the antidote, Master will be fine,"
Lin Chen’s heart was also very heavy upon seeing Yang Yuemin’s current state, which bore no resemblance to her fairy-like demeanor two months prior.
With Lin Chen’s consolation, the inconsolable Xu Lianyu’s mood gradually improved, and Lin Chen then escorted her back to her residence.
Late at night, Lin Chen was restless, always worrying about Yang Yuemin’s condition. He was pondering over a matter.
That was the poison in Yang Yuemin’s body, after all, it was also the Yin Sha Poison.
When Lin Chen was in the secret realm, he had already set a precedent for absorbing Yin Sha Qi. The Yin Sha Poison in Yang Yuemin’s body was just more intense, but that didn’t necessarily mean it couldn’t be absorbed, so Lin Chen wanted to give it a try.
