Chapter 455: Chapter 457: Middle-level Mortal Alchemist (Part 6)
Master Wushan felt a surge of joy, and the weight in his heart lifted; he truly feared that the girl would turn her back on him because she was unsatisfied with his initial actions…
“Brother, wait for me here; I will return shortly.” Mu Ruyue turned her head to look at Xiao Feng, “However, during this time, Yunqing will stay here. It’ll trouble you, brother, to keep her company.”
Xiao Feng nodded coldly: “Okay.”
Hearing this, Mu Ruyue then withdrew her gaze and it fell upon Master Wushan’s aged visage: “We can leave now.”
As they spoke, several people headed towards the exit, leaving behind a group of Xiao Family members, still as statues…
“Why does this girl know Master Wushan?” Third Young Master Xiao’s eyes flickered, it seemed now difficult for them to make a move against them…
Inside the grand mansion, Xuan Yuan was pacing back and forth anxiously; when he turned his head, he saw Master Wushan leading Mu Ruyue in. His heart leapt with joy. He wanted to say something but, thinking of his recent actions, he stopped in his tracks, his handsome face showing a tinge of shame.
“Miss, you’ve come?”
Mu Ruyue nodded and said in a cold voice, “Take me to see her.”
“Alright,” Xuan Yuan nodded eagerly, “Miss, please follow me.”
He gestured invitingly with a hand and said with a smile on his face.
Mu Ruyue said nothing and just quietly walked in.
In the room, the young man lay on the bed, his brow furrowed with pain. His complexion was ashen, but one could still make out the delicacy of his features through the pain.
“Bring me some silver needles, and sterilize them with fire. I need to draw out his toxins first. Oh, and prepare a bottle as well,” Mu Ruyue pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
“Chen Fan, you go prepare.” Xuan Yuan nodded quickly, not turning his head as he gave the order.
Perhaps because Mu Ruyue had instantly identified the problem with the elixirs Master Wushan had refined, at this moment, he held a great deal of confidence in this woman.
Maybe she could cure the prince after all…
Xuan Yuan’s eyes brightened and he watched intently the woman who was present.
Soon, Chen Fan brought the silver needles over. Mu Ruyue took one casually and inserted it into the young man’s body. As the silver needle penetrated, wisps of green toxins were forced out of his body.
Then, Xuan Yuan and the others witnessed a shocking scene.
The woman carefully aligned the mouth of the bottle with the toxins, slowly collecting the poison into the bottle before covering it.
Mu Ruyue, however, was completely unaware of the horror her actions had caused to the onlookers.
That was no ordinary poison—it was Corpse Worm Poison. What did she want with Corpse Worm Poison?
Involuntarily, everyone shuddered, their gaze towards Mu Ruyue undergoing a transformation…
“Miss, is that it?” Xuan Yuan looked at the young man lying on the bed and asked with a frown, “Why hasn’t he woken up yet?”
Mu Ruyue tossed the bottle into the Endless Ring and shook her head slightly: “I’ve only drawn out the surface toxins, but the poison has penetrated deep into his bones. So, this is just the beginning. Next, I need to refine an elixir. No one must disturb us for six days. If I fail, even I will be powerless.”
Xuan Yuan nodded hurriedly: “Don’t worry, Miss, I will make sure no one comes here. I guarantee you a peaceful alchemy environment. Chen Fan, Master Wushan, let’s go.”
