A few days later, Su Jin used the smallest dose of withered wood to successfully refine the first antidote, and she returned to the secret chamber.
Nie Qingyi's condition was much better than last time, because the Zi Gu provided her with power, and her physique had also improved.
"What is it this time?" Nie Qingyi looked at Su Jinxia warily.
Su Jin smiled, said nothing, and gave one of her subordinates a look.
Because Nie Qingyi had gained power, Su Jin brought several more people to restrain her hands and feet and force-feed her the medicine.
This time, Su Jin didn't leave, waiting for Nie Qingyi's poison to take effect.
That's right, it's a poisoning attack.
Even with the suppression of other medicinal herbs, the destructive power of the dead wood is still very strong; it is a complete poison.
Su Jin's eyes revealed a hint of anticipation. She was eager to know which poison, the Zi Gu or the poison made from withered wood, was more potent.
The poison took effect quickly; Nie Qingyi clutched her stomach, rolled on the ground, and screamed.
Su Jin looked at it indifferently, unable to describe her feelings.
It felt somewhat satisfying, yet not quite.
In the end, Nie Qingyi did not die; the Zi Gu triumphed.
In other words, a small amount of dead wood is not enough to kill the offspring worm. This is good news. Su Jinxia can gradually increase the dosage to achieve a balance between the power of the offspring worm and the power of the dead wood, so that they cancel each other out and do not harm the host.
Su Jin left, and Nie Qingyi collapsed to the ground.
Suddenly, a thought popped into her head: "I'd rather bang my head against the wall and die a quick and painless death than be tortured by Su Jin every day."
But the thought flashed through her mind, and she thought again, what if? What if there's still a chance of survival?
Perhaps, in just a few days, Zhou Ji will unify the world, attack the Liuli Society, and then rescue himself.
When the time comes, she will cut Su Jin into a thousand pieces, slice off her flesh piece by piece, and scrape off her bones, making her wish she were dead and make her cry and beg for mercy!
Nie Qingyi kept fantasizing about unrealistic possibilities and quickly gave up the idea of suicide.
Su Jin continued to research the antidote and would visit Nie Qingyi every few days, but the dosage of the withered wood could not be reached, and Nie Qingyi's condition was getting worse and worse.
When Zi Gu fought against Ku Mu, it was consuming Nie Qingyi's life force.
Su Jinxia began to worry that the venomous Gu would only die after Nie Qingyi's life force was completely depleted. Just like the Gu mother within Su Jinxia's body, it would only leave her body when Su Jinxia's life force was exhausted.
If that's the case, Su Jin's idea of creating an antidote is overturned.
After studying it for several days, Su Jin decided to try one last time.
When Nie Qingyi heard the door open, she was already scared and tried her best to shrink herself into the corner of the wall.
Without further ado, Su Jin instructed his disciples to take action.
Nie Qingyi still doesn't know that Su Jinxia is developing an antidote. She only thinks that Su Jinxia is torturing her. She is really going crazy.
"ah!"
The pain was more intense than ever before; it felt as if my heart was being torn apart.
Nie Qingyi hugged herself and cried out in pain. Her eyes were red and she stared at Su Jinxia with hatred. "Su Jinxia, I hate you. I will haunt you even as a ghost."
Su Jin chuckled softly, "It's alright, I'll come find you soon. We'll continue our battle as ghosts. I promise, even as ghosts, I won't let you get away with this!"
Nie Qingyi gritted her teeth in hatred, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth. Suddenly she laughed, a maniacal laugh, a laugh like a devil's. "I don't need you to be with me. I want your Shen Qianxue to be with me!"
Su Jin narrowed her eyes instantly. "He will live to be a hundred years old. You probably won't live to see him."
"Hahahaha..." Nie Qingyi suddenly laughed heartily, as if she had finally found a place where she could beat Su Jinxia. "No, he will come to accompany me, you will all come to accompany me... Zhou Ji is a mediocre talent. Without Shen Qianxue, who can he beat? If he dies, he will definitely drag Shen Qianxue down with him. He has the Black Mushroom. He only needs to see Shen Qianxue to send her to hell!"
Nie Qingyi said fiercely, her gaze like a knife, wanting to pierce Su Jinxia's heart with all her might.
Su Jin chuckled, "Looks like you've gone mad. You've even forgotten that I've already taken the black mushroom."
"I'm not crazy! You're too naive. We knew you'd go to the Prince's mansion. The black mushrooms there are fake, a lie. They're not the same as the white mushrooms Shen Qianxue took! The real black mushrooms were hidden away by Zhou Ji long ago. Even Jifeng doesn't know where they are, so how could you possibly know?" Nie Qingyi explained urgently, afraid that Su Jinxia wouldn't believe her. She wanted to see Su Jinxia panicked and terrified!
Su Jin's expression indeed darkened.
"Hahahaha, you're finally scared! Just you wait, wait for us to meet in hell together, hahahaha..." Nie Qingyi laughed maniacally.
Su Jin felt a sudden pain in her chest, then her vision blurred and she collapsed, losing consciousness.
The disciples were shocked. They abandoned Nie Qingyi and quickly led Su Jin out of the secret room, then summoned Su Hu.
Su Hu couldn't figure out why Su Jinxia had fainted, and feeling anxious, he went to fetch Feng Mian.
Feng Mian is an elder of the Liuli Society. He usually doesn't get involved in anything and doesn't compete with the world. He built a small house on the mountain to live a quiet life, and generally no one dares to bother him. But in reality, he is a very skilled doctor.
Feng Mian checked Su Jinxia's condition, then placed her hand on Su Jinxia's pulse. Two seconds later, Feng Mian's expression changed.
His expression turned serious, and his brows furrowed.
"What's wrong?" Su Hu asked anxiously.
Feng Mian looked at Su Hu, then at Su Jinxia, her face filled with disbelief. "How is that possible? She's only twenty!"
"What do you mean?" Su Hu was completely baffled.
Feng Mian lowered his head, his brows furrowed with anxiety, but he couldn't tell Su Huyan.
Su Jinxia is nearing the end of his life, which means that the Liuli Society is about to change hands. Every change of hands in the Liuli Society causes turmoil, and Feng Mian cannot reveal this matter in advance without Su Jinxia's knowledge.
Feng Mian clenched her fist. "I'll write the prescription first. You go find the medicine to prepare it. The medicine might be hard to find, but you have to be quick!"
As Feng Mian spoke, he walked to the desk and quickly wrote down the prescription.
Su Hu picked it up and saw that the first few ingredients were all well-known medicinal herbs.
"What's wrong with her?" Su Hu was now completely panicked.
Feng Mian waved her hand, her expression serious and tense: "Go quickly!"
Su Hu didn't delay any longer and hurried off to find it.
Fortunately, the Liuli Society lives in the lush mountains, where there is no shortage of all kinds of natural medicinal herbs.
The medicinal herbs were quickly prepared, and Feng Mian personally brewed them. Su Jin drank them for a day and slowly woke up.
Su Hu noticed Su Jin's movement immediately and quickly sat down by the bed to ask how she was feeling.
Su Jinxia glanced at him and saw Feng Mian and the deep worry in his eyes. Su Jinxia knew that Feng Mian had figured it out.
