Jiang Songyi was secretly delighted and hurriedly said, "I need a herb called 'Nine-Leaf Resurrection Grass', as well as other detoxifying herbs. Do you have any here?"
The shopkeeper nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes. The Nine-Leaf Resurrection Herb is over there. I'll have someone fetch it right away. We also have all the other detoxifying herbs."
Upon hearing this, the medicine boy immediately put down his work and ran to get the medicine.
Jiang Songyi looked at the busy figure of the medicine boy and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: If she knew the purpose of this token in her previous life, she would definitely have suffered less.
After a while, the medicine boy came back with an exquisite medicine box and placed it carefully in front of Jiang Songyi.
The medicine box is filled with neatly arranged medicinal herbs, and the emerald green color of the nine-leaf resurrection grass catches the eye.
Jiang Songyi looked at the medicine boy and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work. Are these herbs enough?"
The medicine boy replied respectfully, "That's enough, young lady. These herbs can detoxify and nourish the body. Feel free to use them."
Jiang Songyi nodded and said to the shopkeeper, "I want the medicine boy to boil these herbs. Is that okay?"
The shopkeeper immediately agreed: "Of course, medicine boy, why don't you go and boil the medicine!"
Upon hearing this, the medicine boy immediately picked up the medicine box and went to the medicine decoction room.
After buying the medicine, Jiang Songyi carefully hid the Shengfeng Order in his arms, but his heart was filled with turbulent waves and regret.
In my previous life, I had no idea about the magical uses of this token, so I let it fall into the hands of Wen Zigu. It's really a pity!
…
When Jiang Songyi returned to the cellar with the antidote, she saw Gu Zheyuan lying on the cold stone slab, his face pale, his eyes closed, as if he had fallen into a deep coma.
Jiang Songyi's heart tightened, and she quickly walked to his side and gently shook his shoulders.
"Mr. Gu, wake up. I'm back and I've found the antidote." Jiang Songyi's voice was filled with worry and anxiety.
Gu Zheyuan did not respond, but just trembled slightly, as if enduring great pain.
Seeing this, Jiang Songyi immediately used his spiritual power to inject a gentle force into Gu Zheyuan's body, trying to stabilize his vital signs.
After a while, Gu Zheyuan's breathing gradually stabilized, but he still did not wake up. Jiang Songyi frowned, gently placed the antidote on Gu Zheyuan's lips, and carefully fed him.
"Mr. Gu, you must hold on. This antidote should be able to dissolve the toxins in your body." Jiang Songyi fed the medicine while comforting Gu Zheyuan softly.
Gradually, Gu Zheyuan's complexion began to change. It was no longer pale and bloodless, but gradually regained its rosy color.
Seeing this, Jiang Songyi felt a little relieved, but still did not dare to be careless and continued to use his spiritual power to maintain his life.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Zheyuan finally slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Jiang Songyi, a hint of surprise and gratitude flashing in his eyes.
"Girl, how...how did you do it?" Gu Zheyuan's voice was weak, but his tone was full of surprise.
Jiang Songyi smiled slightly and said softly, "I have some knowledge of medicine and know some ways to detoxify. Mr. Gu, how do you feel?"
Gu Zheyuan shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, "I can still hold on, but this medicine soup tastes a bit bitter. I'm sorry to have troubled you, young lady."
Jiang Songyi looked at Gu Zheyuan's slightly pale lips and couldn't help but feel a little worried. "Master Gu, although the medicine soup is bitter, it can detoxify and save lives. Please be patient. By the way, the toxins in your body should have been almost eliminated, but you still need to recuperate for a while."
Gu Zheyuan nodded and was about to say something when he suddenly had a violent coughing fit and frowned in pain. Seeing this, Jiang Songyi immediately patted his back gently, trying to ease his pain.
"Mr. Gu, are you okay? Do you want me to prepare some hot water for you to rinse your mouth?" Jiang Songyi asked with concern.
Gu Zheyuan shook his head, but a grateful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, it's just a cough. You are so kind to me, I feel a little embarrassed."
Jiang Songyi smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Gu, you're too kind. Since we're friends, we should support each other. By the way, do you have any plans? After all, the environment here isn't suitable for recuperation."
Gu Zheyuan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "For the time being, I plan to return to the West Factory. There are specialized medical officers and medicines there, which will be more conducive to my recovery from my injuries. However..."
Seeing Gu Zheyuan's hesitation, Jiang Songyi said, "Mr. Gu, if you have any concerns, please tell me. I will do my best to help you."
Gu Zheyuan looked at Jiang Songyi, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes. "Girl, I'm worried about those who are chasing me. They won't give up and will definitely continue to look for opportunities to attack me."
Jiang Songyi heard this, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I will protect you and won't let those people take advantage of you."
Gu Zheyuan nodded and smiled, "I feel relieved when you say that, young lady."
Gu Zheyuan took out a jade pendant from his arms, which was full of water and had a warm color, as if it condensed the essence of time.
He gently handed it to Jiang Songyi, with a determined glint in his eyes.
Jiang Songyi was slightly stunned. He took the jade pendant and felt it was cold to the touch, as if it carried a mysterious power.
She raised her head and smiled at Gu Zheyuan, "Master Gu, this jade pendant is too valuable. How can I dare to accept it?"
Gu Zheyuan smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of doting: "Miss Jiang, this jade pendant is of great value. It represents my repayment to you. If you need anything, just bring this jade pendant to the West Factory to find me. No matter what it is, as long as it is within my ability, I will do my best."
Jiang Songyi gently stroked the jade pendant, a touch of emotion flashing in her eyes.
This promise was as heavy as Mount Tai, and she couldn't accept it lightly. After a moment's hesitation, she slowly spoke:
"Mr. Gu, although I, Jiang Songyi, am only a woman, I know the dangers of the martial world. If this jade pendant is truly priceless as you claim, how could I dare to accept it so easily? If it causes you trouble, I would be heartless."
Gu Zheyuan looked at Jiang Songyi, a flicker of admiration in his eyes. He gently patted Jiang Songyi's shoulder and smiled, "Miss Jiang, you misunderstood. This jade pendant is no ordinary item. It is a token of my West Factory, representing my authority. With it, you have a backer in my West Factory. I just want you to understand that no matter when or where, you are never alone."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Songyi's eyes flashed with gratitude.
She couldn't refuse this friendship. She nodded gently, put the jade pendant in her arms, and then looked up at Gu Zheyuan and said:
"Mr. Gu, if that's the case, then I'd be remiss not to accept your offer. I hope that if I'm ever in trouble, I can use this jade pendant to get your help."
Gu Zheyuan smiled, his eyes revealing a hint of warmth: "Miss Jiang, don't worry, as long as this jade pendant is here, the door of my West Factory will always be open to you."
