"That depends on whether I can find the necessary medicinal ingredient." Ye Xingchen spread his hands.
"Didn't you also get this poison? How come you're alright?" Li Yijin asked.
“I have true qi protecting my body and am immune to all poisons. Even so, I still need to circulate my true qi to detoxify. She is just an ordinary person. If I hadn’t saved her, she would already be dead.” Ye Xingchen was speechless.
"Then hurry up and find the medicinal ingredient. What medicine do you need? I'll have someone go find it," Li Yijin said urgently.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to find this medicine," Ye Xingchen shook his head.
"What should we do? Is there any other way?" Li Yijin immediately became nervous again.
"Yes, find Xu Jie and see if she has a way to break the curse." Ye Xingchen said, "Send her back, and I'll interrogate Xu Jie right away."
"Okay, okay." Li Yijin nodded hurriedly.
After seeing Li Yijin off, Ye Xingchen rushed to Li Tianqi's place without stopping.
In a dark room, Xu Jie was being watched. The bleeding from her hand wound had been stopped and treated. She sat upright, her gaze towards Ye Xingchen somewhat mocking.
"The Corpse Poisoning Curse uses a hundred corpses as a catalyst to refine corpse oil, and it also requires the addition of ten kinds of poisonous insects. Tell me, which ten kinds of poisonous insects?" Ye Xingchen stared at Xu Jie.
This is the key to curing diseases and saving lives. There are probably no fewer than several thousand kinds of poisonous insects in Southeast Asia, and more than five hundred kinds can enter the body.
There are at least a hundred that can be used to make poisonous corpses. As long as Ye Xingchen finds out which ten kinds of poisonous insects she used to make it, he can prescribe the right medicine.
Otherwise, even the slightest deviation could lead to Bai Zilin's death.
"Heh, aren't you a miracle doctor?" Xu Jie's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Aren't you supposed to be able to bring the dead back to life? If you're so amazing, do you still need to ask me?"
“Listen, even if you don’t tell me, I have a way to cure her, but that will come at a price.” Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: “I’m not discussing this with you now, but asking you seriously: how do we cure this poison?”
"What if I don't tell you?" Xu Jie looked at Ye Xingchen somewhat nervously: "My aunt is gone. My only relative in this world is gone."
"I probably can't avenge the Li family, and I'll die whether I tell them or not, so why don't I take someone down with me?"
"You're really no fun at all," Ye Xingchen said, frowning. "It's one thing to court death, but to drag someone down with you before you die, do you think that's appropriate?"
"There's no such thing as suitable or unsuitable." Xu Jie sneered, "If I'm not having a good time, I'll make the whole world suffer."
"Ye Xingchen, if it weren't for you, the Li family would already be under my control. It's all because of you."
"Don't put all the blame on me." Ye Xingchen glanced at her and said, "The path you've taken isn't the right one to begin with."
"You're really going all out, aren't you? To get revenge, you slept with almost everyone in the Li family, just to gain their support and, incidentally, get dirt on them to ruin their reputation? Was it worth it?"
"There's nothing worth it to avenge the Xu family's great grudge," Xu Jie sneered.
"Your Xu family was destroyed because of your own actions: using weapons, drugs, and human trafficking." Ye Xingchen shook his head and said, "To be honest, you can't blame anyone else. The Li family just gave you a push."
"Let's get back to the main point. Hand over the formula, or better yet, give us the antidote," Ye Xingchen said.
"Haha, an antidote? Ye Xingchen, aren't you being a bit too naive? My aunt is a successor of the Southern School of Cursing Arts. Do you really think there's an antidote for her Corpse Curse?" Xu Jie laughed loudly, "Aren't you being a bit too naive?"
"Alright, you've only learned a little bit, so asking you for the antidote is indeed a bit unreasonable." Ye Xingchen nodded slowly: "But you must hand over the formula."
"These poisons were prepared by my aunt before she died. I just used them on a whim. Do you think I have the antidote?"
"So there's absolutely no way out?" Ye Xingchen stared at Xu Jie.
“It’s not that there’s no way,” Xu Jie said leisurely. “The Poisonous Corpse Descent is formed by the gathering of hundreds of corpses. If you can find ten people with excellent energy and spirit who are willing to die for that woman, you can naturally cure the poison.”
"Medicine is about benevolence. In my eyes, everyone is equal, regardless of wealth or poverty. I can't even do one-for-one, let alone one-for-ten." Ye Xingchen shook his head.
“Then there’s nothing you can do.” Xu Jie laughed loudly, “You can only watch that girl die.”
"That's not necessarily true." Ye Xingchen slowly stood up: "Since you won't say, I won't force you. How Li Tianqi deals with you is his business, and I won't interfere."
Xu Jie remained silent, glancing sideways at Ye Xingchen: "Give me a quick death, okay?"
“No, I think Li Tianqi will not only not give you a quick death, but he will also make you suffer terribly before you die.” Ye Xingchen said calmly, “Because his biological mother was killed by you through a curse.”
Xu Jie closed her eyes and stopped speaking, neither admitting nor denying, but judging from her expression, Ye Xingchen felt that he should not have said anything wrong.
Ye Xingchen ignored her and turned to leave.
"How did it go? Did she say anything?" Li Tianqi rushed to greet Ye Xingchen as soon as she came out.
“No, judging from her appearance, she probably doesn’t know the recipe.” Ye Xingchen said, “There are thousands of ways to make the antidote for the Corpse Poisoning Remedy. I need to know which poisonous insects to use, and even the order in which they are added, in order to make the corresponding antidote.”
“If even the slightest mistake is made, it will cost Bai Zilin her life.”
"Then what can we do? You've run out of ideas?" Li Tianqi asked anxiously.
"It's not like there's no other way, we need to find something," Ye Xingchen said.
"What is that?" Li Tianqi's spirits lifted.
"The Two-Life Flower is a rare treasure. As long as we have it, we can save her life." Ye Xingchen said, "I will use the Soul-Locking Pill to keep her alive and bring her back to consciousness, but she will be paralyzed on one side and have only seven days to live."
"If she doesn't have the Two Lifetimes Flower after seven days, even a god can't save her."
“I’ve tried my best to find it, but… is there any other way?” Li Tianqi asked.
“Yes, ten lives for one life. Ten people with excellent energy and spirit, hung upside down, their blood suspended in their hearts, and then their heart blood used as a medicinal ingredient, can save her.” Ye Xingchen said seriously, “But this action goes against the will of Heaven.”
"It will damage my own virtue and ruin the fortune of the Bai clan."
“I understand.” Li Tianqi’s expression faltered slightly. He nodded heavily. “I will send you to the Bai family and then have everyone do their utmost to find the Two Lifetimes Flower.”
"We should hurry over there. If we're too late, even the Soul-Locking Pill won't be able to keep her alive for seven days," Ye Xingchen said.
