Chapter 148: Soul-Enriching Pill
After the head of the Shen family's medicine was ready, he saw the message left for him by Shen Yunjian and rushed to the Cheng family without stopping.
Lin Yuan has been in a coma for several months. He seems to be trapped in a nightmare, with his brows furrowed and a look of fear occasionally showing, but he never wakes up.
After examining his injuries, Patriarch Shen shook his head and sighed, "His injuries are too severe. Physical injuries are easy to treat, but injuries to the soul are difficult to heal!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Huaixu quickly asked, "Brother Shen, what happened to his soul? Is there any way to treat him?"
He knew that his daughter felt guilty towards Lin Yuan. If Lin Yuan could not be cured, it would probably become a lifelong knot in Cheng Shuyan's heart.
"There is a way." Patriarch Shen pondered for a moment and said, "He was already mentally unstable, and he must have been injured before this one, which made his condition worse.
If we want to save him, we must start by nourishing his soul. The Shen family has a recipe for a pill called the Soul-Yunning Pill, which is very useful for nourishing the soul, but..."
Seeing the Shen family head pause, Cheng Shuyan became a little anxious and asked hurriedly: "But what? Uncle Shen, please tell me that no matter what the cost, I will save him."
"Niece Mingshu, please don't be anxious. It's not that I intend to take Qiao away, but one of the spiritual herbs used to refine the Soul-Yunning Pill only grows in places with strong demonic energy in the Demonic Realm, and it is extremely difficult to find.
Because of this, our Shen family has not been able to refine the Soul-Yunning Pill for many years."
"I'll go find it, Uncle Shen. Please give me the information about the elixir. I will definitely find it back." She said without hesitation.
The Demon Realm is extremely dangerous for cultivators, and this is probably why the Shen family has difficulty refining the Soul-Nourishing Pill.
But she cultivated the Death Qi, which made it easier for her to disguise herself in the Demon Realm. Moreover, her sister was still in the Demon Realm, and she had never found a chance to look for her sister.
It would be even better if I could find out about my sister this time.
Cheng Huaixu heard her words and objected sternly, "No! You are only at the Foundation Establishment stage. The Demon Realm is too dangerous for you. Stay home and I will go find you for you."
"Brother Cheng, don't be impulsive!" Patriarch Shen quickly reminded:
"Don't forget the current situation. Cangxuan Continent and the Demon Realm have not yet reached an agreement. If the people of the Demon Realm discovered that you were heading to the Demon Realm at this moment, I'm afraid there would be complications."
"Yes, father, your identity does not allow you to go to the Demon Realm, so let your daughter go. Don't worry, I can protect myself and nothing will happen." Cheng Shuyan also quickly added.
Cheng Huaixu's attitude on this matter was surprisingly firm: "Then your father will arrange for someone else from the Cheng family to go, but you can't go!"
Cheng Shuyan pursed his lips and insisted, "Father, besides looking for the elixir, I also have reasons why I have to go. Even if I don't go now, I will go to the Demon Realm in a few days."
"You! Never mind, I can't persuade you. It's just that your mother..."
"Don't worry, father. I will talk to mother properly." Seeing Cheng Huaixu relent, Cheng Shuyan quickly assured him.
Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, the head of the Shen family engraved the information about the elixir on a jade slip and handed it to Cheng Shuyan.
After she put away the jade slip, she said goodbye to the two of them and left.
Jian Qing was easy to deal with, so without further ado, she went back to her own yard, tidied up briefly, and then went to the main yard.
Cheng Huaixu has returned to the main courtyard and is talking to Jian Qing about Cheng Shuyan's trip to the Demon Realm.
Seeing her coming, Jian Qing took her hand worriedly, but did not say anything to stop her. He just reminded her:
"Mingshu, be careful, your mother is waiting for you at home."
Cheng Shuyan couldn't help feeling a little guilty, as if ever since she was adopted by the Cheng family, what she saw most on Jian Qing's face was worry.
Thinking of this, she no longer concealed it and released the dead energy in her body. Her Qi training perfection was instantly revealed to the two of them.
"Mingshu, you..." Jian Qing's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
"Mother, the inheritance my daughter received comes from Ancestor Xi Yun, and I'm practicing her technique. This Death Qi cultivation is part of that technique.
My daughter is not a reckless person. It is precisely because she has cultivated the Death Qi that it is easier for her to conceal her identity that she decided to go to the Demon Realm."
"So that's how it is! Mingshu, you are actually the descendant of Xiyun's ancestor, no wonder! No wonder!"
Cheng Huaixu said "no wonder" twice in a row. Cheng Shuyan didn't quite understand what he meant, but he didn't mean to explain.
Fortunately, after she told him the truth, Jian Qing was no longer so worried.
……
The Demon Realm is located in the south of Cangxuan Continent, separated by Wu Yue City.
This is the gray area between the world of immortal cultivation and the demonic realm, where immortal cultivators live together with demonic and evil cultivators, and it is a mixed bag.
Many desperate disciples and fugitives from sects would choose to seek a way out in Wu Yue City.
After more than four months, Cheng Shuyan finally arrived outside Wu Yue City.
She knew nothing about the Demon Realm, so she chose to go to the gray area of Wu Yue City first to collect some information about the Demon Realm before making plans.
Just as she was about to walk towards the city gate, a pockmarked monk suddenly jumped out from the side and blocked her way.
"Fellow Daoist, do you want to enter the city?" The pockmarked monk smiled very enthusiastically, as if Cheng Shuyan was a boy who brought wealth.
Cheng Shuyan couldn't help but frown, feeling displeased with this person, but she had just arrived and didn't want to cause trouble, so she ignored the person and walked around him and continued walking forward.
The man chased after her relentlessly, trotting a few steps to catch up with her and said, "Daoyou, please stay. The people in Wuyue City are very hostile to children of families like you!
If you enter the city like this, I'm afraid your body will appear on Wuyue Street before tomorrow!"
He had a wicked smile on his face and looked complacent, as if he was sure that Cheng Shuyan would listen to him.
After hearing this, Cheng Shuyan hesitated for a moment, but decided to stop.
"What do you mean? I'm not a disciple of a clan, but an ordinary cultivator who came to Wuyue City to find a way out."
The pockmarked monk sneered and said disdainfully, "A casual cultivator? I, Wan Lao San, have been in Wuyue City for decades. I've seen many cultivators like you! I can see through your identities with just one glance.
Fellow Daoist, Wuyue City is not the peaceful place you see in the world of immortal cultivation. Listen to what I say. It will bring you a hundred benefits and no harm at all."
"How many spirit stones?" People like Ma Lao San are only after money.
Since he said so, Cheng Shuyan was somewhat interested in what he said.
If I could spend some spirit stones to get some information from him, that would be a good way.
"Sincerely, thirty mid-grade spirit stones." Wan Lao San narrowed his eyes and stretched out his right hand towards her, saying, "I knew it. You are a knowledgeable person and naturally understand the principle of using information to pave the way!"
This guy has a really big appetite!
He asked for three thousand spirit stones just for a few words from him?
Seeing Cheng Shuyan's hesitation, Wan Lao San continued to smile and said, "Don't worry, my information will definitely be worth the money!"
