Chapter 87 Demonic Essence in Hand
The cave was completely quiet.
After Wen Shu stood up, Su Yu asked, "How was it?"
Wen Shu pondered for a moment and said, "Your previous treatment was correct, which can slow down the corrosion to a certain extent. The corrosive power in this wound seems to be a mixture of various poisons. The demon who did this must be a specialist in poisons."
"Also, this brother should be awakening his bloodline, right? Due to this injury, the demonic energy he absorbed has been stored to resist corrosion. After he recovers, he should be able to break through again."
Wen Shu frowned with some difficulty: "We need to refine the corresponding pills to resolve the corrosive power, and we also need a demon with profound cultivation to force out the demonic energy from the wound. The cultivation level of this chosen demon cannot be too far different from that of the demon that attacked it; it is best if they are at the same level."
"Give me another five days, and I can analyze all the poisons in it. But the corresponding pills must be of Earth grade or higher. As for the pills that can force out the demonic energy, I'm afraid I'm powerless to do that."
“In that case, I’d like to ask you to analyze the medicinal materials needed for the pill first,” Su Yu said, tossing the small jade bottle containing the pill toward Wen Shu. “This is the agreed-upon reward.”
"If things go well, I have another gift for you."
This gift...
It is certainly not a magic stone.
Su Yu and Feng Huaijin fled during the competition to save their lives, and they only had a few magic stones on them, enough to pay the city entrance fee.
This gift is a method of alchemy from the complete collection left by the system, which is quite a generous gift.
Those who cultivate alchemy and weapon crafting place greater emphasis on the inheritance of their methods. Wild alchemists like Wen Shu spend most of their lives studying the most basic alchemy methods.
Those with talent can improve upon the basic techniques and develop their own unique style, or if they are lucky, they may encounter a secret realm and receive some inheritance.
If Wen Shu can assert that he can analyze the corrosive poison left by the Demon Lord, then he is indeed a genius.
But valuing talent is only part of the reason. The main reason is that Su Yu does not plan to release Wen Shu for the time being.
Firstly, it would be convenient to investigate the injuries of the twelve, and secondly, it would be easier to bring the expert along to find the medicinal materials he had analyzed.
Although Su Yu had a complete guide left by the system and recorded information on various magical plants, he still had to flip through the book repeatedly to confirm the information of each magical plant he was looking for. How could it be as convenient as simply bringing the magical plant with him?
Moreover, having the magic essence in hand can at least ensure that the other demons in the caravan won't easily reveal their information.
Su Yu chose a high-level alchemy method as compensation.
After all, he didn't have any magic stones.
Through a combination of coercion and enticement, they assured the alchemist that he would do his best to treat Twelve's injuries.
When Wen Shu saw Su Yu throw the small jade bottle over, his pupils shrank. He hurriedly tried to catch it with both hands. He couldn't help but say, "Lord Lu Jiu, Earth-grade pills are hard to come by. Throwing them like that is too rough. If I don't catch them, they will all be ruined if they fall to the ground... Cough, sorry, I didn't mean to say that."
Su Yu's expression was somewhat subtle, after all, it was always he, as the eldest brother, who instructed and disciplined Bie Mo.
"It's alright, then it's settled. Please provide the list of medicinal herbs as soon as possible to help expel the demonic energy. I will handle it."
"In that case, please come into the city to rest for the time being. It would be more suitable for this person than this cave dwelling..."
"His name is Lu Shiba."
"Yes, it's more suitable for this eighteenth brother to recuperate."
Feng Huaijin's eyes lit up instantly.
He paid no attention to anything else, except that his older brother had given him a pseudonym that shared the same surname as his brother.
They share the same surname, and although they haven't married yet, the older brother clearly considers them to be one family!
Su Yu calmly raised her hand and pressed down the head that Lu Shiba, who had just excitedly raised his head, was now standing there.
To prevent him from actually abandoning Twelve, Su Yu felt that it was best for Twelve to quietly and obediently heal and recover from its injuries and not cause any trouble for him, especially not to think about how to form a mate!
In the end, they were naturally moved out of the cave.
The caravan didn't dare to remove the decorations inside the cave; they just left them as they were.
The team that came to help, along with magical beasts, moved the large cargo to a cave on another hilltop.
Indeed, the shrewd caravan owners felt that one place was not enough. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, so they prepared at least eight storage points in the forest mountains outside the small town.
So they decided to rest in this small town for the time being.
Wen Shu came to find Su Yu with the prescription.
"If you want to refine pills, you must have these ten medicinal herbs, which are for detoxification and anti-corrosion. The others are auxiliary medicinal herbs needed to make pills."
Su Yu took the prescription, examined it carefully, and said with a faint smile, "These herbs are quite rare. Master Wen is indeed a genius in the art of alchemy."
Wen Shu coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed: "No, you flatter me. I only managed to get my hands on a magical plant encyclopedia once. I can only look at these things. I'm not really good at refining pills."
"Don't be modest, Master Wen," Su Yu said politely, before revealing his true intentions. "Next, we should go find the demonic plants. We'll need Master Wen's help in identifying the medicinal herbs then."
"Naturally... wait? What did you say?" Something was wrong. Wen Shu looked at Su Yu in astonishment. Was his business not over yet?
"Well, I need to discuss this with the caravan first."
Helping is no problem, but those magical plants in the prescription are not easy to find. It would take many years to find them. To be honest, Wen Shu was not very willing, even if he had a high-grade pill.
“No need to discuss it.” Su Yu smiled slightly at him, but Wen Shu felt a chill run down his spine.
He was naive, actually thinking that as long as he carefully examined and analyzed the prescription and handed it over, he could obtain a high-grade pill and resolve this unexpected incident.
Wen Shu, a demon twice the size of Su Yu, actually took a step back and turned to run away.
"Why are you running? We won't treat you badly." Su Yu grabbed his shoulder, puzzled, and without delay, froze Wen Shu's feet with ice.
He even smiled to show friendliness. Was he really that scary?
It seems this kid still needs to work on his courage.
Su Yu thought casually and gave Wen Shu the first third of the Cold Begonia Alchemy Method.
The moment Wen Shu saw the alchemy method, his eyes were glued to it and he couldn't take them off.
"Look, if you want the rest, come with me."
"Hmm?" Su Yu's ears twitched slightly. He waved his hand to disperse a wisp of demonic energy carrying chill, then burst through the door, striking the footsteps of the demon outside who was trying to run away.
He walked slowly outside, and upon seeing the demon, he had a look of sudden realization: "Oh, it's Xiao Wen. You can't bear to part with your brother, right? That's perfect, let's go together?"
Although it was a question, Su Yu completely ignored Wen Xiao's words and directly dragged the young demon into the house.
Wen Xiao was filled with despair.
He should have run away the moment he realized something was wrong. That way, he would have had a chance to notify Boss Xuan and the others to rescue the demon, although they might not have been able to defeat it...
Wen Xiao looked at Wen Shu, and just as their eyes met, tears streamed down her face.
Bro, those two brothers are so pitiful...?
What's going on? Why does Wen Shu look so happy? His face is even flushed with excitement!
Wen Xiao's eyes began to show fear.
