"Xiao Yi, you can save my father, can't you?"
Huang Yuwei looked at Xiao Yi with a face full of hope.
Under the focused gaze of everyone around.
Xiao Yi touched his nose and gave a wry smile, "I do have a way, but, it's just that I don't know if you would trust !"
Huang Zheng said, "Xiao Yi, my friend, of course I trust you!" Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire
"Whatever your demands may be, just state them. As long as we can fulfill them, we will do our utmost!" Huang Yi said gravely.
Now, they were truly grasping at straws.
After all.
The strongest alchemist in Beast Emperor City, Fu Yuan, was suspected of playing an ignoble role in this affair, and they were out of options.
Huang Yuwei clutched Xiao Yi's hand, "Xiao Yi, I beg you to save my father..."
"Enough!"
Xiao Yi sighed and said, "Bring paper and ink!"
"Right this way!"
Huang Yi gestured invitingly as there was a desk in the room. He went forward to spread out the paper and personally ground the ink for Xiao Yi, "Please."
Xiao Yi took up a brush and wrote down a list of dicinal ingredients with flourish.
On that list.
There were no fewer than three hundred different ingredients.
The poison of the Hundred Tribulations Elixir was extrely complex; the thod of detoxifying it also could not follow the beaten path.
Xiao Yi handed the list to Huang Yi, "Elder Huang, have all the items on this list ready within three hours."
"Leave it to !"
Huang Yi took the list and imdiately left.
Then.
Xiao Yi looked at the people and said, "Except for Yuwei, everyone leave the Beast Emperor Villa. I am going to heal Huang Baitao and drive out his poison." He turned to the great elder Huang Zheng, "Great Elder, once Elder Huang has prepared the items, the two of you may bring them in together! During this ti, make sure no one disturbs !"
"No problem!"
Huang Zheng solemnly promised, his icy gaze sweeping over Huang Jinghong and the others, "Everyone get out!"
Huang Jinghong and Ji Lingluo, though reluctant, did not dare linger and left supporting each other.
A group of people gathered outside the villa.
Huang Zheng personally guarded the entrance, his cold gaze pausing on Huang Jinghong, "You and your mother, go back to your room and reflect behind closed doors. When the city lord awakens, we will decide how to deal with you!"
"Yes, Great Elder!" Ji Lingluo quickly agreed, pulling away a resentful and unwilling Huang Jinghong.
On their way.
Huang Jinghong's face was clouded over, "Mother, why are you pulling away?"
Ji Lingluo looked around and whispered in a lowered voice, "Hong'er, go find Sha Kun right now!"
"Hm?"
Huang Jinghong was startled and frowned, "What do we need him for?"
Ji Lingluo's eyes flickered cunningly, carrying a venomous tone, "Given the current situation, if your father wakes up, that wild girl will surely beco the heir. What chance of survival would you and I possibly have then?"
Hiss!
Huang Jinghong sucked in a breath of cold air, "Mother, you an..."
He made a throat-slitting gesture.
Ji Lingluo nodded, her eyes filled with viciousness, "As long as your father dies and Sha Kun ascends to the position of city lord, we'll get him to grant you the deputy city lord position. With Sha Kun's help, we can then eliminate those two ddleso old fools. The Huang Family will be ours, and we can still enjoy wealth and glory!"
Upon hearing that the whole Huang Family would be under his command.
Huang Jinghong's breathing quickened, and he nodded emphatically, "Okay, I'll contact Sha Kun right away..."
Ji Lingluo turned back to look in the direction of the Beast Emperor Villa, her eyes sweeping past a glint of extre cruelty, "You forced my hand, don't bla for being ruthless..."
...…
Only an hour and a half had passed.
Huang Yi had returned with all the items on the list, not just over three hundred kinds of dicinal ingredients but also ten huge wooden barrels.
"Xiao, the items are all ready!" Facing Xiao Yi, Huang Yi showed a few more signs of respect.
By now, Huang Baitao was full of silver needles all over his body.
The black color on his skin had also faded sowhat.
Huang Zheng said gravely, "Xiao, what else do we need to do?"
Xiao Yi replied in a deep voice, "Place the wooden barrels inside the house and fill them with water. Use your vital energy to boil the water within. anwhile, have soone start preparing the dicine according to the prescription, dividing it into ten separate batches..."
Huang Yuwei said, "With the two Elders here helping out, I can take care of brewing the dicine!"
Xiao Yi nodded, "Rember, you must follow the exact thod laid out in the prescription, and not miss a single step."
"Mhm!"
Huang Yuwei imdiately left.
Xiao Yi called out to Along, "Along, move Huang Baitao into the first barrel."
Along stepped forward, hoisting Huang Baitao up and lowering him into the first barrel.
Huang Zheng and the other man used their vital energy to constantly bring the water in the barrels to a boil.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!
Bubbles rose one by one, and a layer of white mist filled the room.
After half an hour.
Huang Yuwei had finished preparing the first dose of dicine. Xiao Yi poured it into the first barrel, the dicinal liquid clear as water. But upon touching Huang Baitao's body, the bubbles in the barrel turned a dark purple color.
The water in the barrel beca a dark, murky purple.
Another half an hour passed.
Huang Yuwei brought the second batch of dicine.
"Switch to the second barrel!" Xiao Yi ordered.
And so it went on.
The third barrel.
The fourth barrel...
In an instant, seven barrels later and after many relentless hours of work, everyone was extrely fatigued. Huang Yuwei's face was pale, her eyelids fought each other, and she was on the verge of falling asleep.
She was preparing the eighth batch of dicine.
At this mont...
A figure appeared behind her—it was none other than Ji Lingluo. Huang Yuwei was startled, "Auntie, why have you co?"
Disgust and bitterness flitted through Ji Lingluo's eyes, but her face wore an expression of worry and guilt, "Yuwei, it was all Auntie's fault before, I didn't treat you right. Today's events have made realize my past mistakes. From now on, I will treat you well. Let's be a harmonious family together..."
"Auntie..."
Having a soft heart, Huang Yuwei saw the self-reproach and the guilt on Ji Lingluo's face and smiled, shaking her head, "Don't be like this, Auntie. Don't worry, I have no intention of competing with Big Brother for the position of heir. Once Father wakes up, I will go back!"
"No, Yuwei, you can't go. Your mother left us too soon, from now on I am your mother, and we'll be a family together!" Ji Lingluo said.
Huang Yuwei's eyes reddened, and she nodded emphatically, "Mhm, we'll be a family together!"
A cold sneer played in Ji Lingluo's mind while she glanced at the dicine being prepared, "Yuwei, it looks like you're tired. Why don't you take a rest and let Auntie handle this?"
"This..."
Huang Yuwei hesitated, her face showing indecision.
She clearly rembered Xiao Yi's instructions; there must not be the slightest mishap.
Impatient in her heart, Ji Lingluo's face bore a look of self-reproach, "Yuwei, let Auntie do this. I feel guilty, allow to contribute this small effort as an atonent!"
Seeing this.
Huang Yuwei naturally felt it was hard to refuse any longer, and she indeed was very tired, so she leaned to one side, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
"Yuwei, Yuwei!"
Ji Lingluo woke Huang Yuwei up, saying, "The dicine is ready!"
"Ah? Good, I'll take it now!"
Huang Yuwei imdiately took the dicine and left; she was extra cautious and told Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, this dicine was prepared by Auntie, please check if there's anything wrong with it!"
"Hmm?"
Xiao Yi was surprised but after checking, he shook his head, "No problem!"
"That's a relief, it seems Auntie really has learned from her mistakes!" Huang Yuwei breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterward, the eighth barrel.
The ninth barrel.
The tenth barrel was also prepared by Ji Lingluo, and Huang Yuwei personally delivered them to Xiao Yi's hands.
About half an hour after the tenth barrel of dicine was sent to the Beast Emperor City annex, a signal arrow suddenly shot across the void from within the city lord's mansion. Barely a dozen breaths later.
A grand and domineering voice echoed above the city lord's mansion, "Huang, Sha Kun has co to visit. Why have you not co out to et ?"
