72: My sister's request! To refine the elixir! Tu Shan Nan Yu was shocked!
If her elder sister knew she had such thoughts, she would probably be severely reprimanded!
Elder sister!
Tushan Yiyi suddenly remembered her elder sister lying on her sickbed, and then recalled Liu Mei saying that Xu Qing was skilled in Alchemy. Hope instantly burst forth in her foxy eyes!
She suddenly raised her head and stared blankly at Xu Qing.
At this moment, all shame and embarrassment were completely cast aside.
In the heart of the outwardly cold Tushan Yiyi, nothing was more important than her elder sister's life.
She was silent for a long time, then spoke with a trembling voice: "Can I ask you to..."
"Heal your elder sister?" Xu Qing asked.
"Mm!"
Tushan Yiyi nodded heavily, staring intently at Xu Qing, her eyes slightly red and full of pleading.
"As long as you can save my elder sister, Tushan and I will agree to anything you ask, even if it's..."
"Let's not talk about that for now." Xu Qing interrupted the young girl. "Lead the way. However, if your elder sister's injuries are too severe, I may not be able to help, so you must be prepared."
"I understand!"
Joy erupted in Tushan Yiyi's heart, and a rare smile appeared on her cold and beautiful face.
"I'll go first. You two take care of yourselves."
Xu Qing turned to instruct Bai Ling and Liu Mei, and handed them the peiyuan pill he had just refined.
Afterward, he and Tushan Yiyi descended the mountain and hastened towards Tushan.
Skinny Egg had been waiting at the foot of the mountain, throwing pebbles into Fat Ball's ear.
Suddenly seeing the Great King descend the mountain, it quickly got up, wanting to follow.
"Gather all the little demons and prepare for war."
Xu Qing left these words, and Skinny Egg's expression turned stern. It immediately hoisted Fat Ball onto its shoulder and ran towards the Flower and Fruit Forest... Xu Qing and Tushan Yiyi were extremely fast, traveling unimpeded all the way to the Tushan territory.
After entering Tushan, their speed slowed down slightly.
A fox demon wanted to come out to greet them but suddenly saw Xu Qing beside Tushan Yiyi and was immediately startled.
"Don't panic, this is our most distinguished guest of Tushan!"
Tushan Yiyi explained with a serious expression.
The fox demons who had been by the pond earlier also rushed over one by one. Seeing Xu Qing, they were all surprised, then showed expressions of joy.
They first bowed to Tushan Yiyi, then seriously and respectfully bowed to Xu Qing.
"Greetings, Snake King."
Soft, gentle, or clear female voices entered his ears.
As expected of fox spirits.
Xu Qing nodded lightly, not saying much.
"Follow me, my elder sister and I live just ahead."
Tushan Yiyi pointed ahead, continuing to lead the way.
Before long, a clear, breezy pond appeared before their eyes.
The fox demons, having received the news, had already moved the bed from the wooden house to the side of the pond.
Soft sunlight fell, illuminating the face of the woman on the bed. Even in sleep, the woman still carried an air of graceful nobility.
"This is my elder sister, Tushan Nanyu."
Tushan Yiyi tried her best to lighten her steps, so as not to wake Tushan Nanyu on the bed.
However.
Perhaps due to not having seen sunlight for many days, Tushan Nanyu still struggled to open her eyes. Her clear blue eyes sparkled, like two brilliant gems.
"Elder sister, you're awake. This is Xu Qing, the Snake King of Taihang Mountains. I specifically invited him to heal you!"
Tushan Yiyi quickly stepped forward and held Tushan Nanyu's hand.
Tushan Nanyu looked at her younger sister, then at the green giant snake, momentarily confused about what was happening.
Xu Qing didn't waste words. Under his Spirit Eye, Tushan Nanyu's physical condition was extremely poor.
If she delayed a few more days, she might directly perish in Yellow Springs.
He had to treat her quickly, otherwise, he would be powerless to reverse the situation.
"Do you have any herbs or anything in Tushan?" he asked.
Tushan Yiyi nodded repeatedly. The reason why Tushan's ancestors chose this place was because of its rich Spiritual Qi and the growth of many spirit fruits and Spirit Medicine.
"Just say what you need!" she said solemnly.
Xu Qing nodded and immediately listed a large number of herbs, of various types and different efficacies, even including some deadly poisons.
"Young Miss, this..."
The beautiful fox demons looked at Tushan Yiyi with surprise and uncertainty.
Tushan Yiyi, however, did not hesitate, stating unequivocally: "Go and fetch them all!"
"Yes!"
The fox demons dared not delay and hurried off to find the herbs.
Xu Qing, meanwhile, took out his Pill Furnace and some Spirit Medicine and spirit fruit, preparing to begin refining Spirit Pills.
Tushan Nanyu's situation was complex and her injuries unstable, requiring a multi-pronged approach.
He felt a hint of pressure.
While Xu Qing was busy, the two sisters, Tushan Yiyi and Tushan Nanyu, quietly conversed.
"Yiyi, what's going on? Wasn't it Black Wind Mountain? How did it become Taihang Mountains? And your vitality seems to have recovered a lot, did he help you?"
Tushan Nanyu's mind was full of questions, which she poured out all at once.
Tushan Yiyi answered them one by one.
Tushan Nanyu, who possessed an inherent noblewoman's temperament, listened, her expression gradually becoming more elaborate.
"His territory is actually so large?"
"A being from the outer reaches of the great mountains, actually skilled in Alchemy!?"
Tushan Nanyu first let out a suppressed gasp, hope surging in her heart.
But then, she gently shook her head and sighed:
"It's useless, my injuries are very complex, even my soul is damaged..."
"We must at least try!" Tushan Yiyi said firmly.
Tushan Nanyu didn't want to make her younger sister sad, so she smiled and nodded. Then, she turned her head to look at the green figure in the distance.
The brilliant sunlight shone on Xu Qing, his tightly arranged scales reflecting a faint cold light. His massive body, like a city wall, coiled by the pond, and his golden vertical pupils reflected the firelight from the Pill Furnace, like two blazing great suns.
Tushan Nanyu's gaze was in a daze.
She didn't know why, but she always had a feeling that she was looking up at a lofty deity.
This feeling made her quite puzzled, not knowing where it came from.
Tushan Yiyi was also looking at Xu Qing, her emerald eyes flickering with hope, anticipation, nervousness, and a hint of... barely perceptible worship.
This being before her was so contradictory; despite having hundreds of wives, he didn't have that disgusting feeling of being dominated by lust, like the Bear King.
For a moment, Tushan Yiyi's eyes were filled with confusion.
What kind of being are you, exactly?
Just then.
Xu Qing came over with a Spirit Pill, signaling Tushan Nanyu to eat it.
"Thank you, you've worked hard."
Tushan Nanyu's face was pale, but her smile remained elegant.
She took the Spirit Pill, looked at it, and then placed it in her mouth.
Instantly, the Spirit Pill transformed into a pure medicinal power that surged throughout Tushan Nanyu's body, bringing with it a warm, comfortable sensation.
"Ah..."
She couldn't help but let out a soft cry, then immediately noticed Xu Qing's presence, and a blush instantly appeared on her face.
However, she quickly stopped caring about such things.
The medicinal power transformed from the Spirit Pill circulated within her body, and warmth surged fiercely.
The injuries that the Tushan fox demons had painstakingly managed to stabilize were now actually showing signs of improvement!
"This...!"
Tushan Nanyu raised her head in disbelief, looking at those golden vertical pupils, her heart couldn't help but tremble.
