489: Zhu ignored it and let him reap what he sowed.

Duan Tianya also saw Su Xin lying on the bed. Seeing that Su Xin, who was fine earlier, now had hair turning white and purple lips, he immediately realized something was wrong.

"Alright, I'll go right away!" Duan Tianya turned and left.

Zhu Wushi did not dare to delay either, quickly circulating Internal Energy to help stabilize Su Xin's condition.

Soon, Miraculous Physician Sai arrived carrying his medicine box and went to the bedside to examine Su Xin's condition.

After the examination, Miraculous Physician Sai's expression changed instantly.

"Marquis, you were too impulsive! How could you give her the second one before finding the third heavenly fragrant cardamom?"

"While this can wake a person up, they will also be afflicted by a deadly poison. Now, even if I use every method at my disposal, she can only last for three days."

"If the third heavenly fragrant cardamom cannot be found within three days, this young lady will surely die," Miraculous Physician Sai said helplessly.

"What? You are Miraculous Physician Sai, the number one divine doctor of the Martial World. Even you have no way?" Zhu Wushi stared at Miraculous Physician Sai with bloodshot eyes.

"Sigh... Marquis, this young lady's situation is different. If only one heavenly fragrant cardamom is taken, it will only cause a person to fall into a deep sleep."

"This gives you enough time to find the other two. If they can't be found, then she truly will remain in a deep sleep forever."

"However, during this period, a way must be found to ensure her body doesn't fail; that is to say, during her slumber, her bodily functions cannot deteriorate."

"The Marquis must have hidden her in an extremely cold place and frozen her over these years, which is why she has lasted until now."

"It is precisely because of this that she could hold on until now."

"But the Marquis gave her the second one without finding the third. Now, although she has awakened, the heavenly fragrant cardamom has become a lethal poison."

"You only have three days. After three days, if she hasn't taken the third heavenly fragrant cardamom, even the gods cannot save her," Miraculous Physician Sai explained helplessly.

Zhu Wushi's face changed instantly. Three days—he only had three days left.

As for the third heavenly fragrant cardamom, the only one known to have it now was Duan Zhengchun.

However, he had just returned from Duan Zhengchun's place, and the man was unwilling to tell him.

This was because of his collusion with Yagyū Tajima-no-kami. That bastard, that scoundrel.

No matter how one looked at it, he had only cooperated with Yagyū Tajima-no-kami; he hadn't actually colluded with the enemy or betrayed his country.

But Duan Zhengchun simply wouldn't tell him where the third heavenly fragrant cardamom was.

"Su Xin, don't worry. Within three days, I will definitely find the third heavenly fragrant cardamom." Zhu Wushi stared fixedly at Su Xin, having already made a decision in his heart.

No matter the cost, he had to get the third heavenly fragrant cardamom from Duan Zhengchun.

Just as Zhu Wushi was about to go find Duan Zhengchun, he saw someone completely unexpected.

Duan Zhengchun. Yes, it was Duan Zhengchun. Moreover, beside Duan Zhengchun were two stunning beauties. Either of them was no less beautiful than Su Xin, and perhaps even more so.

Stunned for a moment, Zhu Wushi then excitedly walked quickly to Duan Zhengchun.

"Zhu Tiedan greets King Kaoshan and the two Princess Consorts." Zhu Wushi bowed respectfully to Duan Zhengchun.

He felt that the red-clad beauty beside Duan Zhengchun looked somewhat familiar, but he did not dare to look too closely for fear of displeasing Duan Zhengchun.

If that happened, there would be even less of a chance for what he was about to ask.

"Showing courtesy without cause usually means one is up to no good. Iron-fisted Divine Marquis, this King still prefers your arrogant and unyielding look." Duan Zhengchun looked at Zhu Wushi with a playful smile on his lips.

"I wouldn't dare. Before King Kaoshan, these actions of mine are nothing more than a child playing house."

"Previously, I was blind and failed to recognize your greatness. I beg King Kaoshan not to lower yourself to my level." Zhu Wushi's attitude was more respectful than ever before.

"Enough, you're making this King feel awkward. This King knows what you want."

"You want this, don't you?" Duan Zhengchun produced a heavenly fragrant cardamom in his hand.

When he saw the heavenly fragrant cardamom in Duan Zhengchun's hand, Zhu Wushi's breathing suddenly became rapid.

His eyes turned bloodshot, and he was trembling with excitement.

"Your Highness, I beg Your Highness to grant me this heavenly fragrant cardamom."

"These heavenly fragrant cardamoms must be used as a set of three to have the effect of bringing someone back to life. Now, this is the last one remaining in the world; it is of no use to Your Highness."

"As long as Your Highness is willing to give it to me, I will do anything. I can agree to any condition," Zhu Wushi said excitedly.

"You are indeed a devoted soul, but this devotion has already warped your heart."

"However, this thing is of no use to me. It's not impossible to give it to you, but I want your Qi Absorption Great Technique in exchange," Duan Zhengchun said.

Hearing that Duan Zhengchun wanted the Qi Absorption Great Technique, Zhu Wushi's expression changed instantly.

No one knew that he possessed the Qi Absorption Great Technique except for Gu Santong and Su Xin.

His opponents only knew that he had a technique to absorb Internal Energy, but they did not know the name Qi Absorption Great Technique.

This was because while he was absorbing their Internal Energy, he also absorbed their Cultivation Techniques.

Yet, Duan Zhengchun knew it so clearly.

But in this current situation, he no longer had any choice.

"Your Highness is indeed all-knowing. In that case, I agree." Zhu Wushi took a deep breath and nodded.

After speaking, Zhu Wushi pulled a Secret Manual from his robes. It was indeed the manual for the Qi Absorption Great Technique. No one expected that he actually carried it on him at all times; no wonder no one could find it.

Looking at the Qi Absorption Great Technique manual Zhu Wushi brought out, a smile appeared on Duan Zhengchun's face.

"The Divine Marquis really is devoted. Here, this heavenly fragrant cardamom is yours." Duan Zhengchun laughed and tossed the heavenly fragrant cardamom to Zhu Wushi.

Zhu Wushi excitedly caught the heavenly fragrant cardamom.

"Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness. Thank you for your generosity."

After saying this, Zhu Wushi turned and ran into the room.

Miraculous Physician Sai was looking after Su Xin. Seeing Zhu Wushi run in, he was puzzled. Before he could speak, he saw Zhu Wushi excitedly handing something to him.

"Found it! Found it! I finally found it!" Zhu Wushi looked at Miraculous Physician Sai with excitement.

Miraculous Physician Sai was stunned, unable to understand Zhu Wushi's words for a moment.

"Marquis, what did you say? What did you find?" Miraculous Physician Sai looked at Zhu Wushi in confusion.

"The third one! The third heavenly fragrant cardamom has been found. Look, see if there's any problem with it." Zhu Wushi excitedly produced the third heavenly fragrant cardamom and handed it to Miraculous Physician Sai.

Miraculous Physician Sai was shocked. When he saw the heavenly fragrant cardamom in his hand, his heart was even more astounded.

He had just said they needed to find it, and it was found so quickly? This was far too fast.

However, he quickly returned to normal and began to examine the heavenly fragrant cardamom.

"It is indeed a heavenly fragrant cardamom. Marquis, there is no problem with this one," Miraculous Physician Sai nodded.

"Good, good, good! Then quickly give it to Su Xin," Zhu Wushi nodded excitedly.

Miraculous Physician Sai immediately administered the heavenly fragrant cardamom to Su Xin. Soon, Su Xin's aura stabilized, and her hair turned black again.

However, she still did not wake up.

This scene caused Zhu Wushi's face to change. He suddenly turned and glared at Duan Zhengchun.

"Is this heavenly fragrant cardamom of yours a fake?"
