Chapter 69: Antidotes are easy to concoct, but the catalyst is hard to find

Hua Man Ge, Phoenix Tower.

The first-floor lobby.

"The young friend has the heart of a Bodhisattva; it is this poor nun who was blinded by appearances."

After checking the pulses of Ji Siniang, Jiang Fuling, and the other famous courtesans one by one, Liuli frowned deeply, turned around, pressed her palms together, and apologized to Ning Mu.

Ning Mu waved his hand, not minding it, and instead asked, "The Master speaks too seriously. I only wonder if you have a way to eliminate the stubborn poison in their bodies?"

As Ning Mu's words fell, Ji Siniang, Jiang Fuling, and the others all looked at Liuli with eager eyes.

Each of their bright, pretty faces was filled with intense anticipation and nervousness.

Ever since Hua Man Ge was established, they had encountered many people who claimed to be divine doctors.

There were men and women, old and young.

But someone who was a nun, like the one before them, was a first.

Coupled with Liuli's ethereal, immortal-like appearance, she looked at a glance like a peerless expert who had descended from some renowned cave dwelling to gain experience.

Such an expert must surely have some genuine skills!

The anticipation in the hearts of Ji Siniang, Jiang Fuling, and the others could not help but grow even stronger!

Liuli frowned, a look of difficulty appearing on her face.

"There is a way, and concocting the antidote is actually quite simple; anyone with medical knowledge could formulate it based on the toxicity, but this antidote requires a specific medicinal catalyst to be effective!"

"This catalyst is simple to describe, yet difficult to obtain; at the very least, for the moment, this poor nun has nowhere to find it."

Liuli pondered as she spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Ji Siniang's eyes lit up instantly, and she exchanged a glance with the equally surprised Jiang Fuling; a flash of shock passed through both their eyes.

They had heard these words before.

That Little Medical Immortal who was tortured to death by the Blood Lotus Sect had once said that the antidote is easy to concoct, but the catalyst is hard to find.

It was a pity that before she could even say what the catalyst was, she was discovered by the people of the Blood Lotus Sect! "May I ask the Master, what catalyst is needed?"

Jiang Fuling gathered her courage and stood up to ask.

Her gaze was burning, staring at Liuli with expectation.

Liuli looked at her and said to Ning Mu, "In the southern border of the Zhou Kingdom, there is a mountain named Xiao. Deep within Xiao Mountain, there is a spirit grass called Blood Spirit Grass. It is vermilion throughout like blood, and during its growth period, it absorbs the nutrients of all surrounding vegetation, causing nothing to grow around it. When it reaches maturity, it shines brilliantly with a dazzling light."

"This grass grows naturally in the wild and is extremely valuable. It is almost impossible to obtain from the outside world; only those in the Blood Lotus Sect who occupy the Xiao Mountain area have the opportunity to come into contact with it, which is why I say that although it is simple, it is nowhere to be found."

Liuli sighed, helplessly sweeping a glance over Ji Siniang and the others, her eyes filled with Buddhist compassion.

Buddhist cultivators emphasize mercy.

Naturally, she was unwilling to watch these hundreds of people die right before her eyes.

Hearing Liuli's words, Ji Siniang, Jiang Fuling, and the others looked at each other, and then their faces were filled with deep disappointment and dejection.

As expected.

This antidote is not so easy to obtain! The members of the Blood Lotus Sect are ruthless and vicious; how could they easily let people concoct the antidote to their unique poison? It seems that the people of Hua Man Ge are destined to live only for these last fifteen days.

Everyone felt a sudden sense of confusion and melancholy.

The excitement of the night vanished into thin air in this instant.

The fear of death gripped their hearts, causing some of the courtesans who were full of hope and longing to live to turn slightly pale!

"Many thanks to the Master for the clarification. Although there is no way, at least it allows us to be ghosts who understand why we died."

Jiang Fuling's eyes were desolate, but she still nodded gratefully to Liuli and bowed slightly.

Afterward, she shifted her gaze, her beautiful eyes flowing as she looked at Ning Mu, and smiled faintly: "The Young Master has a warm heart, which we sisters will keep in mind. To express our gratitude, for this last half-month, if the Young Master has any requests, feel free to ask; Fuling will certainly satisfy them one by one."

She was a person who valued gratitude and righteousness. Regardless of what others did, she would keep her word.

But Ning Mu was frowning, reaching out to interrupt her.

"Blood Spirit Grass?"

Why was this name so familiar?

Ning Mu was stunned for a moment.

But immediately, he remembered where he had heard this name.

It was when he first came to Yonghang, at a tea stall outside the city, when Ning Xiaoxiu... Pusa Xiaoman came up to request Double Cultivation, and after being beaten back by Liu Qingmei, it was a gift offered by a burly man who was with the other party! If nothing went wrong.

That Blood Spirit Grass should still be with Liu Qingmei.

And since Ning Xiaoxiu was from the Blood Lotus Sect, perhaps she could also get the Blood Spirit Grass!

Thinking of this, Ning Mu immediately looked at Liuli Shitai and asked, "May I ask the Master, for so many of them to be detoxified, how many stalks of Blood Spirit Grass are needed as a catalyst?"

Huh? Hearing this, everyone was shocked! Ji Siniang, Jiang Fuling, and the other famous courtesans of Hua Man Ge all widened their eyes; the hope that had been extinguished in their desolate, gray eyes ignited once more, and they all stared burning at Ning Mu.

The Young Master... is truly a divine man!

The unique treasure of the Blood Lotus Sect, and he has a way to get it? Especially Jiang Fuling; a moment ago she had lost hope and was prepared to give up, intending to use her only possession—her purity—as a token of gratitude to repay Young Master Ning's kindness.

The next moment, Ning Mu's words sent her soaring from the depths of the Nine Netherworlds to the peak of the colorful clouds!

Ji Siniang was equally excited and unable to contain herself.

At this moment, she felt incredibly fortunate that she had not defied Young Master Ning yesterday, but had obediently complied.

After the excitement came an unbreakable loyalty and reverence!

Young Master Ning's kindness is like a rebirth! And Liuli was also stunned; clearly, she had not expected that Ning Mu could obtain the supreme treasure of the Blood Lotus Sect, the Blood Spirit Grass!

However, she still told him the truth.

"It does not need much; it is only used as a catalyst to be boiled into water and taken with the antidote. One or two stalks will suffice!"

Hearing that only one or two stalks were needed, Ning Mu raised his eyebrows, feeling happy in his heart.

But he did not know whether the Blood Spirit Grass in Liu Qingmei's possession was one stalk or two.

He did not want to let Ji Siniang and the others down.

Ning Mu thought for a moment and said solemnly, "If there is only one stalk, is it enough?"

Liuli pondered for a moment, then nodded firmly, "If this nun uses Cultivation Points to dissolve it, it is enough!"

Ning Mu nodded excitedly at once, then looked at Liuli expectantly, "Good! I will fetch it tomorrow; may I ask the Divine Nun to prepare the antidote for them?"

Liuli smiled.

This was the moment she had been waiting for! In those deep phoenix eyes, there was a cunning glint like a little fox that had succeeded.

Exceptionally bright.

She was like a completely different person from the calm, composed, open-minded, and transcendent Divine Nun Ciyun of the past! "It is not impossible, but..."

Liuli was about to state her demands.

She felt that this time, even if Ning Mu did not want to agree, he would have no choice; after all, these many beauties had only half a month of life left.

Moreover, with them present, given Ning Mu's nature of cherishing the fair and sinking into the flowers, could he watch these beautiful women turn into white skeletons? But before she could finish, Ning Mu suddenly reached out his hand, stopping her next words in time.

"Divine Nun, hold on; this junior knows what you are about to say next!"
