After being bombarded with so much sweet talk, she was convinced that Xue Gongfeng wouldn't waver. Once he agreed, things would be much easier. They could hide under Xue Gongfeng's big tree, rest and recuperate, and secretly build up their strength.
In that case, whether or not the Bai family is her backer is no longer so important. Now, Ye Xiruo regrets her momentary soft-heartedness in agreeing to that idiot Bai Qi's request. Now she's in a bind, and she's also feeling desperate.
The troubles within the Bai family were clearly not as simple as she had imagined. There was internal strife, conspiracies, and it seemed that other terrifying forces were involved behind the scenes.
They're not vampires, yet they specifically target beautiful girls just to suck their blood; that's truly perverted. Without a doubt, she, her senior brother, Xiu Qi, and Ying Xun are already on the blacklist of terrorist forces.
This is a story more tragic than sadness itself. She just wanted to find a strong, powerful partner, but now she's been dragged into this conflict, and people might even die.
"Little Yezi, don't worry. The Bai family is now desperate and is waiting for you, your senior brother, and Master Yingxun to cure Bai Zheng's poison. So, before Bai Zheng dies, the Bai family will make sure you are safe."
"But you know Bai Zheng only has a few days left to live, so I'm not sure if he can be cured of the poison." Ye Xiruo was very agitated and started pacing around in place.
"Little Leaf, you're too tired. What you need most right now is to get some rest."
My life is no longer in my own hands, so how can I possibly sleep?
"Listen to me, things will work themselves out. Don't worry too much. This is called being a worrier."
"Brother Xiuqi, I'm afraid I'll implicate everyone."
"This is a choice we all made together, so we won't blame you."
At this moment, a phantom sheet of paper floated into Ye Xiruo's mind, listing the various components of the poison that Chi Yi had been poisoned with.
That's fantastic! This time, the system finally didn't let us down.
Ye Xiruo quickly finished reading the prescription and carefully inquired about several spiritual herbs that he was unfamiliar with from the system.
"Thank you very much, but is there any progress on the Heavenly Star Poison?"
"Insufficient energy."
This damn energy shortage, how much energy do I need, and to what extent can I do it?
"One hundred thousand blue spirit crystals can provide the antidote."
One hundred thousand blue spirit crystals! The system's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Thinking about the three hundred thousand blue spirit crystals that she hadn't even warmed in her pocket, and how she was about to lose a third of them so soon, Ye Xiruo felt a pang of heartache. The system was cutting off her own flesh.
Although the Bai family could directly provide this money, it would be illegitimate and improper.
"Let's go out for a bit. Brother Chiyi, come along too."
Ye Xiruo, Xiu Qiyu, and Chi Yi quickly left the Bai residence. Chi Yi and Xiu Qiyu returned to their rented courtyard, while Ye Xiruo went to Youran Residence alone.
After the system provided the poison prescription, Ye Xiruo drafted several formulas for you. The poison Chi Yi was afflicted with was called Snake Binding, and its characteristics were quite similar to its poisonous nature. Like a dark and venomous snake, it entered a person's dantian through the meridians, causing havoc and becoming invincible.
The poison's grade wasn't very high, equivalent to an eighth-grade elixir. It was just that the medicinal herbs used were quite rare, difficult for ordinary people to see, let alone study. She had only occasionally glimpsed them and had a vague recollection of them. Several other medicinal herbs weren't poisonous themselves and didn't help with the refining of the snake-binding technique; their only purpose was to confuse and conceal the most crucial medicinal herbs.
Generally, there's an 80% chance that alchemists will be led astray by these few essential medicinal herbs during their research. As long as they can't find those core herbs, they can forget about finding a cure.
The person who developed this poison is truly like a dead rat in a dark sewer, utterly disgusting.
Fortunately, this elixir requires large-scale production and its grade is not ridiculously high. Otherwise, even if Ye Xi could obtain the formula, he would not have been able to analyze the antidote, and even if he could analyze the antidote, he would not have been able to refine it.
After Ye Xiruo entered Youran Residence, someone quickly went to inform Elder Wang and Elder Ge.
When the two old men saw Ye Xiruo, their eyes shone brightly, as if they were glowing green.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Ge, what brings you here today?"
"What brings you here this time?"
"I've been researching the antidote these past few days and have made some progress, so I came to Youranju to buy some medicinal herbs and then went to the alchemy room to start refining it."
"Great! Young friend Ye, you are so young yet so talented. We old folks are delighted. What kind of spiritual herbs do you need? I'll have them sent to the alchemy room."
"In that case, thank you both very much."
After joining You Ran Ju, Ye Xiruo had her own private alchemy room. Now that she was inside, she could open the inner restrictions, and no outsider could interfere with her alchemy. Moreover, the door to the alchemy room was made of a special material that could block spiritual power from spying on her, making it extremely safe.
Therefore, Ye Xiruo chose to leave the Bai family and refine the antidote here. The Bai family is full of people and there are many eyes watching her. She is not a masochist and would not stay there to suffer.
The conditions at You Ran Ju were simply too good; the spiritual herbs and alchemy room were readily available. Soon, someone delivered the spiritual herbs that Ye Xiruo needed.
Ye Xiruo prepared four pill formulas in total. For each formula, she sent over ten portions of spiritual herbs, for a total of forty portions of spiritual herbs. Ye Xiruo checked them and found that they were in good condition and without any problems. She then took out her identity token, swiped her card to pay, locked the door, and began refining the pills.
Although this is an eighth-grade pill, Ye Xiruo is already a seventh-grade advanced alchemist, only a step away from becoming an eighth-grade alchemist. It is not too difficult for her to refine an antidote that is beyond her grade.
This time, she was alone. Ye Xiruo no longer hid anything, took out the green essence, summoned the Azure Lotus Heaven, and began the refining process.
This pill formula was devised by Ye Xiruo herself. Whether it is feasible and whether it can be refined still needs time to verify.
As soon as she started refining the pills, Ye Xiruo exploded three batches in a row, leaving her covered in soot and feeling very frustrated. She wondered which step had gone wrong.
If Ye Xi continued refining, the pill formula was one she had carefully considered, so there shouldn't be any problems. The problem must lie with her refining process.
He tried again and again, failed again and again, then stopped to think, wrote down all the problems, and made improvements again and again. Ten doses of elixirs were not enough, so Ye Xiruo had to ask them to send some more.
Ye Xiruo tried the first pill formula a full twenty-eight times, using two different kinds of spiritual herbs to successfully refine it.
