Chapter 57: Trial Medicine

Xiang Sa released the maid, her eyes reddened as she lowered her head and said:

"My dear brother Xiang Zhuang's Spirit Core energy has been exhausted; his condition is extremely dangerous now. At any moment the Spirit Core could collapse, losing human reason, and he would wildly attack anything his eyes see."

The people in the Wu Hall, after hearing, wore solemn expressions and looked toward Xiang Sa's back; seeing the situation, they became even more cautious.

The bound gray elephant, massive as a gray iron mountain, had eyes streaked with red veins; its bulging muscles, struggling, resembled beasts surging beneath the flesh.

A terrifying low growl came from its mouth, as if clinging to the last thread of reason, while a dozen hulking men nearby seemed about to fail to restrain it.

The nearby Shamaness stepped back in terror; a beast whose Spirit Core is in revolt multiplies its lethal force by many times, losing human reason and form, its sense of pain vanished, turning it into a mindless killing beast.

If this gray elephant goes berserk here, the Wu Hall will surely be destroyed.

She angrily pointed at Xiang Sa and scolded, "Why didn't you give him the Spirit Core synthetic drug in advance! In his current wretched state, even taking the synthetic drug won't help!"

Xiang Sa clenched his fists.

If it hadn't been for fighting another gang over the water well in Xicheng, his brother wouldn't have overused energy in Beast Form during combat, ending up in this state where even suppressants are useless.

Xiang Zhuang is his own blood brother and the second strongest beast of the Wind Erosion Gang; without him, the gang, having lost major combat power, would surely be carved up by other city forces.

Xiang Zhuang must not be harmed!

Xiang Sa's face turned pale, "No, let the Shamaness come over; she can soothe him directly with Pheromone, it will be in time!"

His eyes flashed with a sharp light as he risked everything, saying to everyone in the main hall: "If Xiang Zhuang's Spirit Core collapses and he goes on a rampage on the spot, I won't be responsible for the consequences; our Wind Erosion Gang will fall anyway, so later don't blame us for going berserk and killing."

His blatant threat made the maid curse inwardly, but there was nothing she could do against these ruthless, heartless beasts.

Even the Witch Maiden Hall has powerful beast guards, but if they fight here, who can guarantee that the dozen or so Shamanesses in the main hall won't be injured…

The maid, angry, glared at Xiang Sa and said irritably, "Take him to the side courtyard; I'm going to report to the Shamaness."

Having said that, the maid hurried toward the hall, turned her back, and with a contemptuous sneer spat, "Pfft."

Hmph, they actually dare threaten the Witch Maiden Hall; what are they, accustomed to swaggering in Kuangsha City, forgetting that now there are more than just the Hall's Guard Squad?

This escort of a new batch of Shamaness trainees to the Mountain Classic Beast Temple, however, is an elite squad from Leitingcheng!

They haven't left yet.

First stall for a while, wait until the esteemed Shamaness is moved; then these Wind Erosion Gang's feral beasts can die here!

The maid, angry, thought, and quickened her steps.

Seeing the people in the Witch Maiden Hall relax, Xiang Sa helped his subordinates suppress the gray elephant as large as a small hill, guiding it toward the side courtyard.

Hu Biao, standing in place, shifted his eyes, quickly gave a signal to his subordinates, ordering them to dispatch more troops immediately.

This is the perfect moment to curry favor before the Shamaness; when Xiang Sa erupts in a riot and slaughters all around, he will protect the Shamaness properly!

Everyone had their own thoughts; the maid rushed fervently into the underground secret chamber of the Witch Maiden Hall where the Shamaness's medicinal concoctions are made.

Before getting close, a strong medicinal fragrance hit her, its scent relaxing the mind.

She was about to speak to the guard stationed outside the secret chamber when she saw the door open.

"What's the panic now?" Su Liu's slightly displeased voice sounded from inside the door.

The maid knelt on both knees, pale‑faced, and recounted the outside events.

"Want the Shamaness's Pheromone to soothe? They don't deserve it!" Su Li didn't hide it, coldly said, "Transmit my order: have the guards first protect the Shamaness and have them leave here to the side hall; the rest of the Guard Squad gather at the main hall, I will go personally to find… Leitingcheng…"

Mid‑sentence, Su Li's gaze fell to one side.

Her medicine room was huge, with excellent lighting; the entire wall from bottom to top was covered with various plants, looking like a garden, more a display of purchased medicinal herbs than cultivation.

On the iron‑colored medicine table in the middle, a basket of vivid green Lettuce stood out; the essence of the liquid extracted with Pheromone was present, and the secret chamber was still filled with fresh aroma.

She picked up the pale cyan medicine again, pondering the freshly made synthetic drug.

I was about to send someone to find a beast whose Spirit Core revolt is near losing reason to test the new drug; why not just take a ready‑made one?

Su Li changed her mind, took the medicine and walked toward the door, then turned the conversation: "Wait, I'll go see for myself."

The maid startled, "Madam, your status is noble; if he suddenly erupts…"

"Shut up." Su Liu impatiently cut in, "A beast about to become a brute, with so many guards I have, there's nothing to fear."

The maid dared not speak further, leading the way with Su Liu and a Guard Squad toward the courtyard where Xiang Sa stood.

The main hall of the Shamaness was vast; after walking for over ten minutes, they finally reached Xiang Sa's courtyard.

When Su Li appeared, escorted by the crowd, Xiang Sa's group instantly smelled the refreshing scent that relaxed the spirit.

The crowd was excited, their eyes shining; they truly saw a living female with Pheromone, and she was the Witch Matriarch!

Xiang Sa, restrained, stepped forward, kneeling on one knee to salute: "Please forgive my rudeness; if you watch over Xiang Zhuang, the Wind Erosion Gang will be willing to do any task for you in the future."

The maid inwardly sneered, "Pfft, such a favor should never fall to you."

Su Li didn't look at the beasts in the courtyard; she lifted her head toward the bound gray elephant, and from its huge lamp‑like red eyes saw a hint of lucid struggle.

She took out the pale cyan medicine and handed it to the maid beside her, "Go, give this to him; let the beast drink it, and if it doesn't improve, we must kill him beforehand."

Xiang Sa's expression changed, suddenly raising his head: "Please use the Pheromone…"

"Enough." Su Li finally looked at Xiang Sa, humming, "When a beast's Spirit Core revolt is extremely severe, there's no way to cure it; otherwise how would Spirit Core Damage occur?"

Having seen many mindless beasts here, Su Li casually said while offering candy and slapping, "A female's Pheromone isn't omnipotent; I've already given you my latest developed medicine. If you really intend to cause chaos here, don't think the Witch Maiden Hall is easy to bully."

The maid took the pale cyan Spirit Core synthetic drug and stepped forward.

Xiang Sa wore a face of gray defeat.

This…

First try it and see; if the medicine doesn't work later… we'll use all our strength to bind the Witch who has walked into the net before us, forcing her to use Pheromone.
