"Okay, I'll go right away."
As soon as Shen Yu stepped out of the room, he saw Hu Qing striding towards him: "Hu Qing greets Prince Shen."
Shen Yu pulled him into the house and closed the door: "Have you found the prince?"
If Hu Qing hadn't found the prince, he would never have been able to return.
Hu Qing nodded: "Yes, we found it."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jingshan, who was standing to the side, plopped down in his chair and exclaimed, "That's great, that's great!"
Shen Yu hurriedly asked, "Where is he? Where is he?"
Hu Qing has returned, but he did not see Xiao Yanchu.
Hu Qing's expression turned somewhat unpleasant upon hearing this.
He never expected that the prince he had been searching for for so long would actually be at Ren'ai Hall.
"The prince is at Yanyang Ren'ai Hall."
"What! The Prince is still in Yanyang? Why don't you bring him back?" Mu Jingshan was anxious. Even if Yanyang traveled non-stop to the capital, it would take at least ten hours. Now, it's only four hours past midnight. No matter how you calculate it, there's not enough time.
"His Highness sent me back to tell you not to worry, Doctor Su will be taking care of him this month," Hu Qing said, revealing the prince's decision.
"What?!" Mu Jingshan was incredulous. "Your Highness, this is absurd! Even if that Doctor Su has some medical skills, she has no idea how potent the poison Your Highness has been given is. If she's not careful, it could cost Your Highness your life!"
Upon hearing Mu Jingshan's words, Shen Yu and Hu Qing became anxious, with Hu Qing's voice even sounding like she was about to cry: "What should we do? It's too late to get there now."
"Never mind, we have to get there in time. Young Master Shen, I humbly request that you lend me your Akhal-Teke horse. I'll head to Yanyang right now; there might still be hope." Mu Jingshan didn't care about anything else.
Time is of the essence; every point counts.
"Come on, let's go get the horse now." Shen Yu didn't hesitate and turned to leave with Mu Jingshan.
Meanwhile, after returning to Mu'an Village and discussing the matter with her master, Su Ruojin became even more certain that the poison Jiang Qi'an had been afflicted with was indeed the legendary Soul-Devouring Shadow.
Upon hearing that someone had been poisoned by this rare poison, if Su Ruojin hadn't stopped him, the master would have rushed to the clinic and kidnapped Jiang Qi'an to take him back to the village for research.
According to ancient records, the ingredients for this poison are very special. It must be made by mixing the leaves of the Soul-Stealing Grass from Jinshan Mountain, the Dream Fruit from the seabed, the sap of the Thousand-Year-Old Blood-Sealing Throat Tree, the venom from the Volcanic Rock Toad, and Crane Rock Soil in a certain proportion.
The antidote for this poison also comes from these five things, but from different parts: the root of the Soul-Stealing Grass, the flower of the Dream Fruit, the leaves of the Thousand-Year-Old Blood-Sealing Throat Tree, and the blood of the Volcanic Rock Toad.
The soil in Heyan remains unchanged, but the problem is that no one knows exactly what Heyan soil is.
Some say that Crane Rock Soil is the name of a mountain called Crane Rock, and the soil on the mountain is Crane Rock Soil; others say that Crane Rock Soil is a special elixir concocted by hermits; still others say that Crane Rock Soil is a poisonous plant.
To date, no one on the Nine Provinces Continent can accurately describe what Crane Rock Soil is.
Even in her previous life, Su Ruojin had read through all sorts of ancient books but had never seen any record of anything related to Crane Rock Soil.
These five medicinal ingredients, each one of them, are rare and precious items that are hard to come by in this world.
Even the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion currently only has two materials: the leaves of the Thousand-Year-Old Blood-Sealing Throat Tree and the Dream Fruit Flower.
Of the five medicinal herbs, the leaves of the thousand-year-old Antiaris toxicaria tree are relatively easy to find; as long as you search deep in the mountains, you can always find them.
The Dream Fruit Flower was something Su Ruojin bought by chance from an egg-man when she traveled to a small fishing village many years ago.
However, we still need to determine whether Jiang Qi'an is the Soul Eater.
Fortunately, because of the unique nature of the Soul-Devouring Shadow, Su Ruojin paid more attention to it when she saw it in the ancient book, thinking about whether modern medical technology could be used to cure this poison.
Unfortunately, the ecosystem of Earth was severely damaged at that time, and everything mentioned in the Soul Eater recipe had become extinct, making it impossible to replicate the poison. In the end, they had to give up.
However, she did remember how to prepare the formula for testing the Soul-Devouring Shadow. Her master had a large variety of medicinal herbs, and Su Ruojin quickly prepared the testing solution based on her memory.
If you drip Jiang Qi'an's blood from when he was poisoned into the medicine, and the medicine turns from yellow to blue, you can confirm that it is the Soul-Devouring Shadow.
