Mutation
Yiwu calmed down and realized that it was already pitch black outside the window. She didn't know what time it was.
She listened attentively, and there was silence all around. She thought it was because it was late at night and everyone had gone to bed.
In the evening, Jian Qinyuan came once. Seeing Yiwu was sleeping soundly, he did not disturb her and only left a Xuanling Pill for her on the table.
Yi Wu waved her hand to light the candle on the table, quietly lifted the quilt and stood up. In the process, she pulled her right wrist, and the pain was excruciating.
The tea in the teapot had long gone cold, and Yi Wu's throat was dry, so she poured herself a few cups of cold tea and drank it, chewing the Xuanling Pill into pieces and swallowing it whole.
After sitting quietly for a while, she used magic to transform herself and continued to lie on the bed in her place. Then she extinguished the candle and turned into a shadow and slipped out through the window.
Although she had been away from the Underworld for three hundred years, everything here was much the same as before. Yi Wu headed towards the palace of the Heavenly Sovereign and Empress. She carefully recalled the storytellers' words and speculated on the location of the Yin-Yang Universe Pearl.
If the demon clan's claim is true, and the Heavenly Emperor designed a scheme to steal the Yin-Yang Universe Pearl, he would definitely put it in a place where it is not easy to be noticed.
Carefully bypassing the patrolling immortal soldiers, Yi Wu sneaked into the Queen Mother's bedroom. Faintly hearing human voices, she hid in the dark and eavesdropped.
"Xuan'er, your father certainly has his reasons for what he did. How long are you going to hold a grudge against him?"
Queen Feng Qi was filled with sorrow and tried to comfort Jun Xuan earnestly, hoping that he would admit his mistake to Jun Lin as soon as possible.
Jun Xuan's face was cold, his back straight. "Father's principles are to plot to seize other people's treasures for his own selfish desires, disregarding the lives of the people in the world?"
"Mother, have you seen the demon soldiers Ling Hua and the others brought back? Do you know what the demons are plotting? With catastrophe looming, at such a critical juncture, father still refuses to accede to Jiufang Mingyuan's demands. Why won't he admit his mistakes? Is his reputation more important than the lives of the people?"
"Shut up!" Feng Qi's voice suddenly rose as he scolded, "Everything your father did was for you and for the empire. Why can't you understand his painstaking efforts?"
Jun Xuan opened his mouth but didn't say the rest. He stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, you are tired. Please rest early. I will take my leave."
He turned and left, leaving Fengqi alone at the table sighing.
Yi Wu was shocked. She had never expected to overhear such a secret on her first foray into the Heavenly Queen's Palace. It turned out the storyteller was actually telling the truth. The Heavenly Lord had indeed conspired to defraud the Demon Saint of her treasure.
The Queen Mother had not rested for a long time, so Yi Wu sneaked back to her room while no one was noticing.
She was baffled. What was the purpose of the Yin-Yang Universe Pearl? Why did the dignified Heavenly Sovereign personally trick it from the Demon Saint? Why did he even risk causing a war between immortals and demons rather than return the Yin-Yang Universe Pearl to the Demon Clan? What hidden secrets were hidden behind this?
And it seems that the entire immortal race has been kept in the dark by the Heavenly Emperor.
Yiwu thought about it all night long but couldn't come up with any clue. She lay back on the bed before dawn and pretended that she had never left.
At noon, Jian Qinyuan and Liu Yu pushed open the door carrying hot tea.
Jian Qinyuan glanced at the table and the bed, and immediately guessed that Yiwu had woken up last night. He was not sure whether she was really sleeping or pretending to sleep.
He placed the teapot on the table, walked to the bedside and gently patted Yi Wu's shoulder, "Qin Mo, Qin Mo?"
Yi Wu rolled her eyes, slowly opened them, looked at him, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"
She looked around, pretending not to know where she was. "Where is this? Why am I here?"
"This is Ji Ming, where Brother Liu Yu lives." Jian Qinyuan knew she was acting, but he still responded in line with her answer: "You were captured by the fox demon and were seriously injured. We brought you to Ji Ming for medical treatment."
He helped Yi Wu sit up against the head of the bed, poured her some hot tea, and handed her a Xuanling Pill.
Yi Wu swallowed the pill and looked up at Liu Yu, "Thank you, Brother Liu Yu."
"You're welcome." Liu Yu shook his head and looked at Jian Qinyuan. "I didn't do anything. It's all because of Brother Jian who took care of you meticulously and treated you like a real brother."
Jian Qinyuan didn't realize the hidden meaning behind his words at all. He took the cup from Yi Wu's hand and said, "Of course. We are hundreds of... ahem, we are friends in need. We can't let him die."
The atmosphere in the room was a little subtle and no one spoke for a while.
Yi Wu reached out to lift the quilt and pretended to get out of bed. "I feel much better. Let's go. I won't bother Brother Liu Yu anymore."
"etc!"
"no!"
Jian Qinyuan and Liu Yu rushed over at the same time to stop her and try to persuade her.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that your heart meridians are severely damaged and you are poisoned. You need to rest."
"That's right, you can stay here and recuperate, it won't be a problem. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has asked the Medical Master to refine a life-extending elixir for you, so just wait a little longer."
Yi Wu looked up at the two of them and insisted, "For such a minor injury, there's no need for a life-extending pill. I can just use my internal energy to heal it..."
As she spoke, she suddenly spat out blood, which splashed directly onto the hems of Liu Yu and Jian Qinyuan's clothes, causing their expressions to change drastically.
"Why are you trying to be so stubborn? You're almost dying, can't you just calm down?" Jian Qinyuan scolded her as he helped her back to the bed and tucked in the quilt.
Liu Yu looked down at the bloodstains on the hem of his clothes. It was not a bright red, but an extremely dark black, with a faint sizzling sound, as if it was corroding the fabric of the clothes.
Yi Wu apologized, "I'm sorry I stained your clothes."
"Brother Jian, change your clothes immediately. This blood is poisonous." Liu Yu hurriedly instructed, striding out of the room. "I'll go get the Doctor some antidote."
He walked quickly and was far away in a few breaths, and his voice came from far away.
"Gan Lin, find some clothes for Brother Jian."
Jian Qinyuan used his finger as a blade to cut off the hem of his clothes stained with poisonous blood, and was filled with worry. "It's over, it's over. Are you really going to die? The poison has invaded your heart meridians."
But in just a moment, the hem of his clothes that he had cut off was corroded by the poisonous blood, leaving several holes, which showed that the blood was extremely toxic.
"It's not that serious. It's just a blood clot caused by the healing exercises I did yesterday." Yi Wu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked at the piece of cloth on the ground thoughtfully.
It turned out that the poison she was poisoned with did not disappear, but her physical condition changed, turning the poison into a part of her body.
After the blood clots were discharged, Yiwu felt much more relieved. She thought that if she rested for some time, she would surely recover.
Jian Qinyuan walked around the room twice, extremely anxious. "What kind of poison have you been poisoned by? Is there no antidote? If this continues, you'll probably die before you even get the life-extending pill..."
"Luckily, Liu Yu has already gone to the Medical Master to get the antidote. I hope it works... You know what, he's quite nice, and he's so concerned about your injury."
These words made Yi Wu's heart tighten, and she almost suspected that Liu Yu had seen through her identity. After all, he was not such a warm-hearted person.
Gan Lin brought clothes to Jian Qinyuan, and he changed immediately.
Yiwu's vomiting of poisonous blood was really worrying. After Liuyu brought back the pills and fed them to her, Jian Qinyuan was able to feel relieved.
Yiwu wanted to verify something, so she asked Jian Qinyuan to secretly catch a rabbit and get some poison.
Recently, the immortals have been busy investigating the matter of the demon soldiers, and Liu Yu has often been called to help. He cannot guard them every day, which makes things convenient for Yi Wu and Jian Qinyuan.
After overhearing the conversation between the Queen Mother and Jun Xuan last time, Yi Wu often sneaked into the Queen Mother's Palace in an attempt to get more information, but she never caught them whispering to each other again. The mother and son seemed to be angry with each other.
Yi Wu had never seen the Yin-Yang Universe Pearl, so she could only search the bedrooms of the Emperor and Empress when no one was around. However, after searching through boxes of all sizes, she did not find any treasures that looked like beads. Instead, she sensed a familiar aura in the Empress's palace.
There was a translucent vase in the secret compartment behind the Queen's bed. She didn't know what the blue light in the vase was, but she always felt that it was familiar and particularly familiar.
On the fifth day, Jian Qinyuan successfully brought back a little white rabbit and a bottle of Crane's Beak Red.
He warned seriously: "This is Crane's Beak Red. Just a tiny bit can kill someone. Be careful."
Yi Wu nodded, opened the bottle, poured a fingernail-sized amount of red powder into the teacup, added some tea, cut her fingertip, and dripped a few drops of blood into the teacup.
She shook the teacup to mix the contents, pinched the little white rabbit's mouth and poured the tea into it, then carefully observed its reaction.
The little white rabbit landed on the ground and hopped a few times, then crouched down to the side, far away from them, washing its face with its front paws. After a few breaths, its entire body began to twitch, and it collapsed to the ground, its whiskers trembling and its breathing rapid. A moment later, even the twitching stopped, and it lay motionless on the ground, seemingly dead.
Yiwu's eyes dimmed and she felt disappointed.
I originally thought that due to the change in her physical condition, her blood might have miraculous detoxifying effects, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Jian Qinyuan guessed her intention and consoled her, "I thought you were going to do something, try to fight poison with poison? That's too dangerous. Just take the antidote."
Yi Wu stood up and prepared to carry the little white rabbit out to find a place to bury it. As she walked out of the door, the motionless little white rabbit in her arms suddenly struggled, jumped out of her arms, and fell to the ground.
It shook its head, woke up for a while, and jumped into the yard to find grass to eat.
The little white rabbit came back to life, shocking Jian Qinyuan.
He rushed out and grabbed the rabbit. He looked left and right to confirm that it was still alive. He looked at Yi Wu in shock, "You...you..."
Jian Qinyuan only realized at this time that perhaps Yiwu didn't want to eat the cresaceous blood to fight poison with poison, but was verifying one thing: whether her blood could detoxify.
The little white rabbit was alive and well, and the outcome was obvious. His expression suddenly became serious. "You can't tell anyone about this, or you'll definitely be arrested as a drug addict."
He didn't intend to ask what happened to Yi Wu, why her blood was obviously poisonous, but could neutralize the toxicity of the thrush. She had too many secrets, and now there was one more.
"Why are you so nervous? Just observe for a few more days." Yi Wu brought the little white rabbit back and put it on the ground again, watching it hop around to find grass to eat.
If the little white rabbit is still alive after a few days, she will take the time to go back to the top of the cloud and detoxify Jiufang Mingyuan.
Yiwu had made a very good plan, but she didn't expect the accident to happen earlier than planned.
