He carefully dug up the roots of the Soul-Severing Grass with a knife and took them with him.
If someone is poisoned by the Soul-Severing Grass and doesn't take the antidote within two hours, their internal organs will begin to break and rot. The pain is unbearable for most people; even if they don't die from the poison, they will eventually die from the pain.
Jun Lintian leaned against the rock, the pain in his body causing him to unconsciously furrow his brows, his lips bitten until they bled. Ji Jiuying took out an outer robe from her spatial storage and draped it over him. Jun Lintian looked up at Ji Jiuying and smiled weakly, "Little Jiuying, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"Shut up, don't say another word." Ji Jiuying glared at him with exasperation, and as she spoke, she handed Jun Lintian an antidote pill. Although it couldn't cure the poison of the Soul-Severing Grass, it could alleviate his pain and slow down the spread of the toxins in his body.
"How could you give the Second Prince those antidote pills when he's been poisoned by the Soul-Severing Grass? Don't you know he's not suitable for taking antidote pills right now?" Liu Piaopiao frowned slightly upon seeing this and stepped forward to stop him, relying on her status as the eldest disciple of the Pill Sect.
Although the Grand Elder was not skilled in alchemy, he knew that one should not take antidotes indiscriminately after being poisoned by the Soul-Severing Grass, as it would accelerate the spread of the toxin. "This..."
“He is very suitable!” Ji Jiuying immediately retorted. Of course she knew that he was not suitable for taking those inferior antidote pills, but could her antidote pills be compared to ordinary antidote pills?
Moreover, Ji Jiuying was confident that she could concoct the antidote, and Liu Piaopiao did not expect her to refute her in front of the Grand Elder.
"This is utterly absurd! You're ruining him!"
Ji Jiuying smiled gently, turned around and looked at Jun Lintian, "How do you feel without taking the antidote?"
"Pain, excruciating pain."
"How do you feel after taking my antidote?"
"It's a bit bitter; it would be better if it had some sugar," Jun Lintian replied earnestly.
Ji Jiuying was speechless. "I'm not asking about the taste of the antidote pill, I'm asking how you feel physically!"
They're so difficult to communicate with!
"Awesome! I feel great all over!" Jun Lintian patted his chest and said.
Ji Jiuying was bewildered by the wind. She looked at Liu Piaopiao and smiled, "Did you hear that? He doesn't feel uncomfortable at all."
Shen Miaoqing and the others tried their best to suppress their laughter!
Liu Piaopiao's face darkened. As far as she knew, the poison of the Soul-Severing Grass could only be cured by a Heaven-level antidote pill made from eighteen kinds of top-grade spiritual herbs. She happened to have these eighteen kinds of spiritual herbs, but she was not a Heaven-level alchemist, so she was waiting for Ji Jiuying to come and beg her.
Liu Piaopiao looked at the Grand Elder with unwavering determination, "Her medicine only relieves the symptoms, it doesn't cure the poison. Grand Elder, she's putting the Second Prince in danger right now!"
Ji Jiuying looked at Jun Lintian, her red lips pressed tightly together, "Jun Lintian, do you believe me or her?"
Jun Lintian glanced at Liu Piaopiao, his eyes filled with disdain, and said dismissively, "Of course I believe Xiao Jiujiu."
"Second Prince, you..."
"Alright, let's begin now. Don't disturb me while I'm preparing the antidote."
After Ji Jiuying finished speaking, she ignored her, got up and went to an open space, carefully handling the roots and stems of the Soul-Severing Grass. Cheng Yue, Wen Longxiu, and Bai Mengfan curiously gathered around.
When Liu Piaopiao heard that she could concoct the antidote, she stared wide-eyed in disbelief. She wanted to see what she could concoct the antidote with! However, after what happened in the morning and just now, she didn't dare to get too close to her. As soon as she got a little closer, Shen Miaoqing and the others would look at her with unfriendly eyes, which made her very angry!
"Little Jiu, can the roots and stems of this Soul-Severing Grass neutralize its poison?" Wen Longxiu asked curiously.
People only know that the Soul-Severing Grass is poisonous, but they don't know that its root tendons can counteract the poison.
Ji Jiuying nodded, "Relying solely on the roots and stems of the Soul-Severing Grass is definitely not enough; it also needs to be combined with cinnabar, gentian, and wisteria ginseng..."
Ji Jiuying then mentioned more than a dozen common medicinal herbs.
Wen Longxiu and Cheng Yue's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this. They had never heard of such a combination before. It was a method to neutralize the Soul-Severing Grass that they had never heard of before. They never expected that some common and ordinary medicinal herbs could be completely neutralized by combining them with the roots and tendons of the Soul-Severing Grass.
The two watched Ji Jiuying's every step intently.
Wen Longting, Shen Miaoqing, and Bai Mengfan watched her refine pills with curiosity, while also keeping a watchful eye on Liu Piaopiao from time to time!
Ji Jiuying summoned Xiao You and threw in all the prepared medicinal herbs. This series of actions stunned Cheng Yue. Wen Longxiu had seen Ji Jiuying's alchemy methods before, so she didn't react much. However, this scene was witnessed by Liu Piaopiao, who was not far away. She smiled sarcastically to herself, "Who refines pills like this?!" She wanted to see what kind of pills she could produce in the end!
Ji Jiuying ignored what everyone thought and focused on refining pills. She condensed a flame to ignite the Nine Nether Cauldron, slowly controlling the size of the flame with her spiritual power, and releasing her mental energy to observe the medicinal materials in the cauldron. Before long, she had extracted all the medicinal materials, and then she fused and condensed the pills.
The flames flickered in and out, and the pill gradually took shape. With a crisp "poof" sound, Ji Jiuying's face lit up with joy. She withdrew the flames, used her spiritual power to control the pill to fly out, and put it into a bottle she had prepared beforehand.
Cheng Yue and Wen Longxiu stood there stunned. Of course, they weren't the only ones who were surprised. The thick fog had dissipated quite a bit at some point, so everyone saw the moment the pill was released!
Ten!
They actually refined ten pills at once! Could they be seeing things?
As far as they knew, the sect leader of the Alchemy Sect could only refine a maximum of three pills at a time. As for how many pills the dean of the Star Academy could refine, they were not sure. But refining three at the same time was already incredibly powerful. They never expected that Ji Jiuying could refine ten pills in one go. How strong must her mental power be to do that!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have suspected that she had put the pill in beforehand.
"Xiao Jiu, you actually refined ten at once!" Wen Longxiu said in disbelief as she came to her senses.
"Senior Sister, you're amazing!" Cheng Yue's eyes lit up. With such talent, Senior Sister's medical skills must be incredible.
"Senior Sister, no, no, no, you are my idol."
"·····"
The Grand Elder stepped forward excitedly and exclaimed, "You! You can actually refine ten pills at once!"
Ji Jiuying nodded. "Isn't this a very simple matter?"
A simple matter? Does she even know what it means to refine ten pills at once? The answer is no. Ji Jiuying's goal is to refine one hundred pills at once. If she were to say that, people would laugh their heads off!
Before the Grand Elder could answer, a sarcastic laugh came from behind, "With her reckless approach to alchemy, who knows if the pills she concocts will even be effective?"
Ji Jiuying glanced coldly at Liu Piaopiao, "Whether it works or not, we'll know once we try."
