"What should I do? I have to go to Jisheng Hall to set up the formation with my fellow disciples at dawn."
Xiao Mian pointed at his face with a frown. Leng Mushi blinked and rubbed his face with her hand to make sure she was not dazzled. Then she looked at his face full of bags and looked confused.
She stretched out a finger and poked the bump on Xiao Mian's face. It was purple-red and hard to the touch. It looked the same as the one on the back of the poisonous flame beast except for the size.
"This, this..." Leng Mushi suddenly woke up, waved her claws anxiously in the air for a while, turned around and ran towards the house, shouting as she ran, "Master! Get up quickly! Something big has happened!"
Then the sky began to turn pale, Hua Yanyue and Leng Mushi took Xiao Mian into the cellar of the hut and began to look for various elixirs to try to remove the poisonous spots on his face.
It’s ruined!
Pink lotuses fluttered around the room, reporting to the law: "Xiao Mian's handsome face is completely ruined!"
The law is like an old man in his twilight years, and he can only sigh these past two days.
When Xiao Mian saw the entire medicine storehouse for the first time, he was deeply shocked by the amount of medicine stored there. However, he soon became anxious again because after trying several kinds, the poisonous spot on his face still did not go away.
Finally, Hua Yanyue took out the Rejuvenating Pill from the top of the cabinet. This pill was very precious. It was made from the unicorn fish found three thousand feet under the ice field. She only had a few pills, which she had originally planned to keep for herself in case her face exploded in the pill furnace. But now Xiao Mian, the medicine man, was more important!
"Eat this, even if only half of your brain is left, it can be restored to its original state," Hua Yanyue said, "It also has a good healing effect. You are lucky."
Hua Yanyue threw the pills to Xiao Mian, then threw away all the pills that she had just refined last night. She simply got up and prepared new herbs and re-prepared the prescription.
Leng Mushi also breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay for Xiao Mian to suffer some torture while testing the medicine, but it would be a sin if his face was really ruined like this.
Not to mention that Xiao Mian becomes more and more handsome, he is good-looking and has good character, and Leng Mushi has no bad feelings towards him. In the plot, Xiao Mian's demon bone awakens in the later period, and he becomes a beautiful and evil demon lord. His love with Leng Tianyin is a collision of good and evil, a peerless love song between a fairy and a demon, and it is bound to not end with a big bump on his head.
After all, this story book is not about humans and animals.
"Okay, okay, you'll be fine after taking this," Leng Mushi said, "But if Brother Xiao is not busy, you can take the pill first, and then tell me about the strangeness you felt last night or this morning. When these poisons wrapped around you, did it hurt or itch..."
As she spoke, she picked up a notebook and began to record Xiao Mian's reactions. Xiao Mian held the pill in his hand, ready to put it to his mouth, but when Leng Mushi lowered her head and Hua Yanyue was busy with the pill furnace, he moved his hand away from his mouth.
He put the pill into his sleeve, then lowered his head to put on his cloak, covered his face, and began to carefully talk about how he started to feel itchy all over before going to bed last night.
After he finished speaking and left, Leng Mushi and Hua Yanyue adjusted the pill recipe according to what he said, caught a poisonous flame beast, bled it, and refined a new furnace.
When they were opening the furnace with great fanfare, Xiao Mian covered his face and wore a cloak to set up the formation. His whole body was itchy and painful, but he did not take the Rejuvenating Pill.
Just by getting close to the medicine, one can feel how powerful the spiritual power it contains. The effect is probably not only to rejuvenate the face, but it may also be able to unclog blocked meridians and even cleanse the spiritual roots.
After all, the Second Elder said that even if half of the head is lost, it can grow back. How precious is that
Xiao Mian didn't plan to take it, and he wanted to wait and see. The effect of the medicine in his body seemed to be weakening over time and would eventually dissipate completely. He would see if he could recover by then.
But it was too itchy, especially after he started sweating, it was so itchy that he didn't dare touch his face, so he had to scratch his arms to relieve the itch.
The itch tormented him for two days and two nights. Finally, as he continued to circulate his spiritual power, the itch gradually disappeared. However, scars were left on his arms due to multiple scratches.
Xiao Mian tried ordinary anti-aging pills, but the scars only became lighter and could not be completely eliminated.
But he didn't care. He was a man after all, so what did a few scars on his arms matter
On the third day, the day they had agreed to meet at night arrived again.
Leng Mushi took the re-adjusted pill and went to the cliff to wait. This time, she was particularly nervous. She couldn't help but think that the last time Xiao Mian was harmed like that, she didn't know if the Rejuvenating Pill would leave any other symptoms. He shouldn't come...
Then she saw Xiao Mian walking towards her slowly, with a dignified face and beautiful eyes as usual.
Leng Mushi stared at his face for a long time, and seeing that there were no scars or color left, she smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, you're here!"
Xiao Mian stood in front of her, curled his lips slightly, and remained reserved and didn't say much: "Yeah."
But today he was particularly easy to talk to, and he cooperated with whatever Leng Mushi said.
Leng Mushi felt something was wrong again.
However, she couldn't find what was wrong at the moment, and it would be better if Xiao Mian was easy to talk to, so she gave Xiao Mian the pill with the modified prescription.
Xiao Mian swallowed it with water without hesitation, but did not immediately circulate his spiritual power to fight the effects of the medicine as usual. Instead, he took out a paper bag from his arms and opened it to reveal two cakes.
He picked up one of the cakes that had a slightly chipped corner, and handed the other intact cake to Leng Mushi: "This is a new cake from Linggu Hall. The disciples haven't tasted it yet. I asked someone I know to bring it to you. You can try it."
Xiao Mian put one of the pieces into his own mouth, ignoring the effect of the medicine that was gradually burning his internal organs. With his eyes filled with sparkling light that Leng Mushi dared not look directly at, he watched her take the pastry, put it into her mouth, and eat it whole.
"The taste... oh, it's a bit weird." Leng Mushi didn't care after finishing the meal, and asked Xiao Mian, "How do you feel about the effect of the medicine?"
Xiao Mian pursed his lips slightly, threw half of the uneaten cake on the ground, pressed his chest, and spoke in a difficult and low voice: "The inner palace feels like it's on fire."
"That's right!" Leng Mushi said with a smile, "Master is really amazing! She said this is a pill that can cure water poisoning!"
"You should know that when a cultivator with water spiritual roots is advancing, if he is invaded by evil spirits, he will develop water poisoning that is extremely difficult to cure. The poison will penetrate into the bones. The usual treatment in the past was to scrape the bones and cleanse the soul."
Leng Mushi's face was full of admiration: "But with this elixir, cultivators with water spiritual roots won't have to be afraid to go down the mountain every time they are at the critical moment of advancement!"
"Brother Xiao, you also have water spiritual roots, right? I will leave a share for you. When you want to advance, come and ask me for it."
Leng Mushi took out a small notebook and took notes. Xiao Mian grabbed the sword at his side and snorted silently. The burning feeling in his stomach almost melted him.
He curled up his body, thinking it would be more comfortable if he started to circulate his spiritual power to fight back immediately, but he was still forcing himself to look at Leng Mushi, to see how she would react after taking the pastry mixed with the Rejuvenating Pill powder, and whether the scars on her face would be removed.
But he soon couldn't see clearly, no matter how wide he opened his eyes. At this moment, his eyes were filled with some uncontrollable emotions. If Leng Mushi looked up at him, even a fool would be able to see what Xiao Mian was thinking.
Unfortunately, Leng Mushi was concentrating on recording with her head down. She didn't even look up at Xiao Mian. She just kept asking for his reaction. Xiao Mian spoke every word with difficulty, but he told the truth.
It was not until he could no longer speak and passed out from the pain that Leng Mushi looked at him nervously.
“Hey, what Master said about the reaction is correct, but it’s not enough to make him faint…” Leng Mushi was so scared when she saw that he didn’t react that she quickly leaned over to feel his breath.
Fortunately, fortunately, there is breathing...
Leng Mushi quickly recorded the symptoms of his fainting and checked his eyes, which were not red.
Logically speaking, monster blood cannot be used as medicine, and there has never been such an attempt in alchemy before. Hua Yanyue is the only one in the world who knows how to use it, because most of her alchemy skills are self-created.
According to her, all things in the world are interdependent and mutually exclusive, even the human race and the demon race who practice Taoism are complementary to each other. Everything can be refined and there is no need to be restricted to one method. Besides, she has already found a way to eliminate the evil spirits and demonic energy of demons and beasts. What is there that she dare not try
Leng Mushi felt that what she said was right. After all, those pills really did have the effects that they were supposed to have, just as Hua Yanyue had said. Moreover, the flesh and blood of monsters and beasts were much easier to obtain than those rare and precious herbs.
But they still need to pay special attention, because if the evil spirit is not completely eliminated, problems will arise.
Leng Mushi checked Xiao Mian and found that there was nothing wrong with him, so she felt relieved and waited for him to wake up on his own after the effect of the drug wore off.
She took out Hua Yanyue's notes and started reading them. She didn't need any light as her eyesight was excellent now.
Just while reading the notes, Leng Mushi felt her cheek itchy and scratched it twice.
Her whole body was hot, and she attributed it to the fact that she was frightened because she thought Xiao Mian had died again.
She didn't care and continued reading, but after a few pages, her ankles and wrists were grabbed again.
Xiao Mian woke up, and Leng Mushi asked quickly: "How do you feel, Brother Xiao? You have water spirit roots, so this pill should not harm you..."
"It hurts so much..." Xiao Mian lay on the ground, curled up towards Leng Mushi. He pulled Leng Mushi's wrist with great force, and Leng Mushi fell towards him and directly in front of him.
The two people were facing each other on the ground. Xiao Mian's vision was a little unfocused. He bit his lips until they bled before he finally saw Leng Mushi who was so close to him.
"Brother Xiao? Why..."
Leng Mushi fell silent, or rather, she froze, her whole body, including her lips.
Xiao Mian held her cheek with his hot palm, and his other hand passed under her head and warmly hooked the back of her neck.
And... still caressing the side of her face and the back of her neck!
What's going on? Could it be that the poisonous flame beast really has an aphrodisiac effect? ! Master clearly said no!
"Brother Xiao, wait for me..." Leng Mushi almost popped her eyes out because Xiao Mian's warm breath came close and touched the corner of her mouth.
She stammered and couldn't speak, "Xiao, Xiao, Xiao Xiao encourage you..."
Again.
The author has something to say: Leng Mushi: I am stupid.
