Chapter 59 Jianjian's Limited Edition Purple Skin
Mu Jianjian's long-tense nerves finally relaxed. She looked disgustedly at Cai Chu's bubbling corpse, and was about to share her excitement with Sang Wanyue when she saw the blue-clad woman fall down.
The toxins that had been suppressed in her body by the elixir for a long time were affecting her entire body, and the blood gushing from her mouth was even black in color.
"System, look at this! I'm vomiting blood like a waterfall, but the pine and cypress trees in this space aren't growing a single hair."
System: Didn't you just pluck it all off?
Mu Jianjian mentally complained, but she knew she couldn't give up yet.
If you just hold on a little longer, you can use the Holy Lake Water to heal your wounds once you reach the very center of the secret realm.
Mu Jianjian gritted her teeth and helped Sang Wanyue's trembling body up. As she tried to carry her on her back, a dense flow of true energy surged from the heavens and earth and flowed into the woman's body, surging and turbulent.
Is Yueyue about to break through?
But won't it have an impact if I break through in a secret realm where my cultivation level is suppressed?
She remembered that in the original book, Sang Wanyue was taken to the Sacred Lotus Pavilion by Ye Wuluo after leaving the secret realm, and only then did she barely break through the Foundation Establishment stage and reach the Core Formation stage.
"Do you need any help?"
A woman's voice suddenly echoed in the cave, and Mu Jianjian turned her head instantly with a wary look.
“I…I meant no harm. I’m the person you saved before…My name is Huang Xinlan,” Huang Xinlan was covered in blood, but her eyes shone like stars as she looked at Mu Jianjian. “I’m an alchemist. Perhaps I can help you take a look…”
Has she not left yet?
Mu Jianjian saved her, but that doesn't mean she trusts her, especially regarding Sang Wanyue's matter, which she doesn't want to entrust to a stranger.
Just as she was about to refuse, the other party seemed to know what she was thinking and raised his hand to swear, "I, Huang Xinlan, swear to Heaven that I will not harm the two saviors in front of me in the slightest, out of gratitude and kindness."
A halo of light formed around the woman and slowly dissipated. Mu Jianjian's guard finally dropped, and she smiled.
"Please... take a look at her first."
——
Only after examining their bodies did they realize the extent of their injuries.
The woman in blue had three fingers twisted in a strange position on her left hand, and her abdomen was pierced by a long white bone, from which blood was flowing. Huang Xinlan thought she was not poisoned because her skin color was normal, until she found a bulge under the woman's left arm.
After the skin was cut off, different kinds of Gu worms wriggled inside.
This is to suppress the toxins from spontaneously reversing the flow of qi through the meridians and controlling the Gu worms together!
How painful is it to have your meridians reversed!
Huang Xinlan became increasingly alarmed as she looked at the document.
The woman's leg bones were under immense pressure due to the constraints of the secret realm's laws. Judging from the degree of fracture, she should have been unable to stand up long ago, yet she endured excruciating pain and fought the old man for so long...
That's terrifying. They really don't value their own lives at all.
Huang Xinlan wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and turned to Mu Jianjian, who was chewing on a pill, saying, "She's now breaking through her body and absorbing the true energy of heaven and earth on her own. I've already used the pills that old man left to neutralize the poison. Once she successfully breaks through, there shouldn't be any major problems. It's just her leg..."
What happened to her leg?
"She can walk, but without proper bone care and treatment in the short term, it will be difficult for her to withstand intense fighting again."
"I see."
Mu Jianjian thought to herself, "Anyway, I can soak in the Holy Lake later, so this is no big deal."
"Let me see you." Huang Xinlan looked at the girl's seemingly unharmed expression and assumed that her injuries would be less severe, only to find that the two were equally badly hurt.
No wonder she heard the old man shout "two lunatics" at the end!
The poison in the girl's right arm gradually spread to her chest, and there was a faint tendency for it to spread throughout her body. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that her entire body seemed to have been corroded by some liquid, with pieces of flesh and blood falling off and sticking to her clothes. Her right eye was swollen and she could not open it. Her leg bone was in slightly better condition than the girl in blue.
"I can't cure your poison... I'm sorry." Huang Xinlan wiped her sweat again. She could only cut off the corroded flesh piece by piece and then refine pills for the girl to take to heal her external injuries.
She actually admired them greatly; it was a miracle that someone could survive such severe poisoning, let alone remain awake.
"It's alright." Mu Jianjian wasn't worried at all.
"Was your right arm seriously injured before? This poison is spreading from your arm and will gradually numb your nerves and five senses. It must be cured immediately!" Huang Xinlan did not understand the other party's nonchalant attitude.
"Mmm," Mu Jianjian nodded after hearing the instructions, "I know, but there's no other way."
She looked down at her right arm, which was already bruised and weak.
Linghu Zhuoyu warned her not to break her right arm again, but things didn't go as planned, and she still stubbornly confronted Cai Chu, one of the "Five Eccentrics" of Yingzhou.
But I don't regret it at all.
Mu Jianjian hummed a little tune in her heart.
——
"You really don't want this? Why not take it if it's free?"
Mu Jianjian held a knife in her left hand and dug out the beast core of the toad in the cave, then looked at Huang Xinlan beside her.
Huang Xinlan looked at the girl's bruised right arm with unbearable pain, the bloody wound still bearing scars, limp and lifeless beside her due to poisoning. "I don't want to! Did you hear what I told you? This poison won't last much longer!"
Even at a time like this, she's still joking around and showing concern for him. I don't know what's wrong with this girl's brain!
"Alright." Mu Jianjian clicked her tongue regretfully, then she could only "reluctantly" take all the toad beast cores.
To her, all those toad corpses on the ground were treasures that would help her pass the test!
After collecting all the beast cores, Mu Jianjian searched and organized all of Cai Chu's spatial bags again. They contained countless porcelain bottles of pills, as well as various talismans and spirit stones, yielding a considerable harvest.
"Is this Cai Chu's alchemy cauldron? In the original book, it's called... the Toad Cauldron, which can only be used by those with cultivation levels above Core Formation. No wonder he didn't take it out and smash it against me."
Mu Jianjian took out a dark ink-colored cauldron with toads carved around its sides from Cai Chu's spatial bag and pondered it to herself.
She recalled how Huang Xinlan had taken out the alchemy furnace to refine pills earlier, and sighed inwardly, "It's really amazing, I must try it sometime."
【Host is amazing!】The system popped up.
"I'm so amazing, why don't you make a blind box and try your luck?"
system:……
Talking about blind boxes often hurts feelings.
“Yueyue used three layers of Blood Reversal. If she hadn’t broken through, I don’t know what would have happened to her body,” Mu Jianjian said with a wry smile. “Because I have a pupil technique that allows me to see the direction of true energy, and I’ve read the original book, I know Cai Chu’s general attack techniques. She truly persevered through sheer willpower.”
Hmph, she just does whatever she wants because she's the female lead!
She'll have to keep a close eye on her from now on!
——
The two stayed by Sang Wanyue's side for two whole days while she was unconscious and her breathing was erratic. Only after her breathing and true energy stabilized did Huang Xinlan leave.
Mu Jianjian found a clean and bright stone cave to continue waiting. After her right eye received treatment, her eyelid finally regained sensation, but as the days passed, her vision became increasingly blurry, just like her nearsightedness and astigmatism in her previous life.
Along with blurred vision, the five senses disappear.
She was a little afraid that Ye Wuluo and Lan Yi would suddenly come in and see this scene, as it would be difficult to explain.
But Mu Jianjian realized she was overthinking things.
Ye Wulu did not appear until Sang Wanyue woke up.
When Sang Wanyue woke up, her heart started pounding. Still immersed in the fight with Cai Chu, she clutched her chest and gasped for breath. She turned her head and saw Mu Jianjian beside her, munching on roasted meat with concern in her eyes.
The sound of wind echoed from the cave, and the wood in the fire beside them made a soft "creaking" sound as it burned, along with the sound of the girl chewing on meat.
A peaceful and serene scene.
"Do you want some? I grilled it pretty well," Mu Jianjian said, overjoyed to see Sang Wanyue awake. She hurriedly handed her the grilled meat. "Yueyue, you're finally awake! You've been unconscious for three days. A female cultivator named Huang Xinlan helped us..."
After calming down, Sang Wanyue's eyes were indifferent. She glanced at the wounds on her body that had been treated and looked at the roasted meat that the girl was obviously holding in the wrong direction.
What happened to your eyes?
"Ah ah," Mu Jianjian heard Sang Wanyue's cold voice coming from the other side and realized that the poison also had a symmetrical reflex effect, "My eyes are poisoned."
Sang Wanyue raised her right hand and brushed it across the girl's cheek. Seeing her lifeless pupils and the purple poison that had spread to her ears, she frowned and said, "Your poison hasn't been cleared yet?"
When she woke up, she found that the poison in her body had disappeared, but the other person's poison was still there.
"How about it? My limited edition purple skin, isn't it beautiful? It'll be discontinued soon."
The girl's voice was clear and bright.
