Repeated tries didn't seem to have any effect. Gu Zuo recalled that, in modern times, those who were bitten by snakes could have the venom sucked out. Maybe he could give it a try here? While he was frantic and unable to deal with anything else, Gu Zuo's heart pounded. He bent over so his mouth could suck out the poison from Tianheng.
At first, Gongyi Tianheng watched Gu Zuo's efforts, and his gaze was soft as he let him work. But suddenly, Gu Zuo was lowering his head. Discovering that something was amiss, he hastily extended his other hand and weakly covered the poisoned right hand as an obstruction.
What Gu Zuo's slightly parted lips met wasn't the wound. Rather, it was warm skin. His face instantly became feverish as he lifted his head in embarra.s.sment. His mouth mumbled: "Big brother…"
Tianheng sighed: "Ah Zuo, the toxicity is so strong. Even though it seems harmless to pharmacists, it only can't enter a pharmacist's body when touching it. If you directly put it in your mouth, it might not necessarily be harmless."
Gu Zuo whimpered: "But…big brother's poison…is all my fault."
Tianheng shook his head: "Ah Zuo misunderstands. You and I decided on doing this together, so how can you say that this is all your fault? You treat my illness and I collect medicinal ingredients — This was the initial agreement. All the medicinal pills you've refined have also been given to me. It shouldn't be where I act when there are benefits and turn a blind eye when there's disaster, shirking all the responsibilities to you."
He saw that Gu Zuo's mood was still melancholy, and softly said: "Besides, I've suffered a poisoned wound here, and you can save me if nothing else happens. If you get poisoned along with me, how would I get better?"
Under this kind of gentle consoling, Gu Zuo's expression gradually improved a bit. However, his heart still wasn't without guilt. No matter what was said, his big brother was injured on his behalf, and he still had no way of curing him quickly.
Tianheng smiled: "Since we can't think of any other methods for the time being, it's better to just go back first. Staying in the courtyard will be much more quiet. Ah Zuo has already collected lots of Earth Ghost corpses, so with a bit of research, you can try make an antidote."
Speaking up to here, he raised an eyebrow, "Does Ah Zuo have any confidence?"
Gu Zuo listened, and slowly recovered. He nodded with determination: "I will definitely figure something out!"
Gongyi Tianheng nodded: "This is good. Everything can be entrusted to Ah Zuo."
After he finished speaking, he intended on having Gu Zuo get on his back again.
But this time, Gu Zuo didn't agree. Normally, it'd be fine, but his big brother was wounded now and still wanted to let him get on his back… How was that possible?! In any case, it was for the best that the poison within wasn't moved, so he simply walked slowly down the mountain with his big brother.
In pa.s.sing, he took a look at what medicinal herbs were on the road.
The Earth Ghost was so poisonous. According to common sense, there should be things that would mutually resist its poison in the vicinity. If there weren't any here, then he was sure that the toxin and ant.i.toxin had fused together. After returning, he would rummage through the Earth Ghost corpses. Perhaps he could find a solution from within them.
After Gu Zuo's guilt was placated by Tianheng, his current mood calmed down a lot, and his mind started turning faster. He didn't realize that he'd already separated himself from that initial ident.i.ty which didn't have one iota of knowledge and trembled in fear. In this field of medicine refinement, he already had great confidence in his own medicine refining level.
From inside out… He started to become an outstanding pharmacist.
At last, after walking for about half a day, Gu Zuo smoothly supported Gongyi Tianheng down the mountain.
Although several days remained in the seven-day mission, he wasn't willing to stay here any longer. In fact, the outer sect disciples who could truly remain on the mountain for seven days were very few. On the contrary, there were especially many who had to leave on the first day… This was also the differences between each person's abilities.
After returning to the courtyard, Dragon One and Dragon Two came to welcome them.
Gu Zuo handed his dear big brother over to Dragon One to look after. He himself pocketed quite a large pile of Earth Ghost corpses and squeezed into an empty room.
This place wasn't his medicine refining room. Because the things carried poison, he was afraid of what negative effects it would have on the medicinal ingredients inside. After instructing Dragon Two to seal the room's entrance, Gu Zuo immediately took out an Earth Ghost corpse.
The corpse of an Earth Ghost comparable to perfect Houtian… It was already the strongest of the batch of corpses they collected.
What Gu Zuo wanted to research was an antidote that could resolve the toxins of a Xiantian Earth Ghost. Of course, acquiring a Xiantian Earth Ghost corpse would've been the best. However, Gongyi Tianheng sustained injuries and they never encountered a Xiantian stage one Earth Ghost. As a result, he could only use these corpses — Even if it was like this, he could also certainly figure something out!
Because he was too anxious, Gu Zuo didn't dare waste a bit of time. The downward movements of his hands were also extremely fierce.
In a short period of time, the entire corpse was already separated by Gu Zuo's hand seal which was used for processing wild beast meat. It had become sc.r.a.ps, and each piece was clearly part.i.tioned.
Eyeb.a.l.l.s… Useless.
Bones… Useless.
Bone marrow… Useless.
Veins… Heart… Intestines… All of it was useless.
Gu Zuo held his breath with rapt attention. There was a prescription in the corresponding Trick Pills known as the "Poison Transformation Pill". It combined medicinal ingredients, a toxin, and medicinal herbs that mutually restrained poisons. If the technique didn't have any problems, it would be a panacea that could remove that type of toxin. Currently, he couldn't find any other way. He only had this, which was the most suitable one.
Yet, while he had the toxin and was lucky enough to have the medicinal herbs, he unfortunately couldn't find the part of the Earth Ghost's body that was compatible with the poison. Since it was like this, how could he refine the Poison Transformation Pill?
Cauldron after successful cauldron of medicinal pills — The grades were different, but they were all the exact same Poison Pill, which contained the poison of the Earth Ghost. However, there weren't any Poison Transformation Pills, which could detoxify it.
Gu Zuo became more and more urgent. Slowly, his heart found it hard to calm down.
After making attempts with the Earth Ghost's flesh and teeth, he even blew up the cauldron several times. In the middle of that kind of loud sound, it was like he was. .h.i.t by a stick and abruptly woke up.
Not good. He couldn't ignore his own anxiety.
Gu Zuo took a deep breath.
Immediately after that, he tore apart the Earth Ghost to even smaller fragments.
Since intact things weren't any good, then how about diced ones? Maybe because the Earth Ghost was a whole ent.i.ty, the components were useless? Try — He needed to try everything one by one!
This time, Gu Zuo sank deep into his mind. Adding one kind of medicinal ingredient, adding two kinds, adding three kinds… He slowly realized that from the different fragments of the Earth Ghost he used, the more he put into a pill cauldron, the better the grade of the successfully refined Poison Pill. The color was also getting deeper and deeper.
His heart had a vague premonition, which made it seem like he was under some kind of control. He continuously increased the fragments put in. Eventually, he mixed in a kind of poison sac, which was the place where the toxin was stored. Then, he added the bone marrow from the Earth Ghost's tailbone. In the blink of an eye, it was all thrown into the pill cauldron!
Instantly, the liquid in the pill cauldron began to boil!
But this was a different sight from the numerous times before!
Gu Zuo's heart was beating madly. He hurried to control the heat, striking out with countless hand seals.
At last, six ashen-yellow medicinal pills jumped out from within. They were instantly collected by him in a jade bowl, making sharp and clear collisions!
That's right. This color was precisely the color of the Poison Transformation Pill!
Gu Zuo slowly let out a long sigh.
He didn't dare delay for a moment, and promptly rushed out the door. From the different grades of Poison Transformation Pills, he picked the best high-grade pill and shoved it into Gongyi Tianheng's hand.
"Big brother, try it quick!"
Without the slightest doubt, Tianheng immediately swallowed the pill.
In a short time, a fierce medicinal power suddenly rushed out!
In the time that Gu Zuo refined the pills, the poisoned qi had already spread to Tianheng's forearm. Under this medicinal power, it faded in a split second and was forced straight back into the area of his palm.
Gongyi Tianheng's finger was like a knife. With a slash to his palm, a poison slurry that released a horrid stench immediately spewed out. Once it hit the ground, it corroded a big hole.
Truly… It was a terrifying toxin!
Gu Zuo noticed that speed of the blackness fading from Tianheng's palm could be seen with the naked eye. The poisoned blood gurgled down, making his dear big brother's complexion much better.
His heart gave a sigh of relief, and he revealed a smile as if a great burden was lifted from his shoulders.
Yet, Gu Zuo never antic.i.p.ated that after the medicinal power had completely finished, there was actually still a layer of weakened black qi covering his big brother's palm.
Unexpectedly, this poison…wasn't purged clean?
Gu Zuo's smiling expression stiffened. He walked over, wanting to try another medicinal pill.
But Tianheng raised a hand to stop him: "Wait a moment, Ah Zuo. It seems…"
