Chapter 897: Poison Doctor's Wandering

Medicine is three parts poison, after all; there's nothing we can do about it.

Sun Ming prepared the treatment while answering without raising his head.

Upon hearing this, the Elder of the Pill Master Alliance twitched the corner of his mouth; at this moment, he couldn't help but sympathically glance at Bai Honghua on the bed.

Alas, I don't know whether meeting this kid Sun Ming is a blessing or a curse for this girl.

Although her life was saved, her hair is gone—does she really have to become a nun from now on?

But since her father has already decided, he naturally won't say anything.

Bai Ke was quick; not long after Sun Ming finished treatment, Bai Ke hurried in.

He had gathered all the medicinal ingredients on the prescription; taking them, Sun Ming instructed Bai Ke.

The situation is temporarily stabilized; don't move her. I'm going back to refine pills; once the pill is ready, I'll send it over—then it will surely cure the illness.

Thank you, Fellow Daoist Sun.

No problem.

Three days later, Sun Ming had refined the pill; looking at this blackish pill in his hand, he chuckled.

Soul-Locking Pill—looks not bad.

A young pill apprentice beside him twitched the corner of his mouth upon hearing this: "This damn thing looks like giant rat poison; you call that not bad?"

However, Sun Ming apparently didn't know what the young pill apprentice was thinking; after finishing the pill, he immediately sent it to Heavenly Blade Valley.

However, when Bai Ke saw this pill, he couldn't help but ask.

Um, Fellow Daoist Sun, is this pill really okay?

This damn thing is too crude; even a first-grade pill looks better than this—are you sure this is edible for humans?

Bai Ke couldn't help but frown at first sight.

But regarding this, Sun Ming replied full of confidence.

Of course; what, Valley Master Bai have any concerns?

No... no, thank you, Fellow Daoist Sun.

After giving it a complex look at that pill resembling rat poison, Bai Ke finally nodded in reply.

Things have come to this; what else can be done?

He personally fed the pill to Bai Honghua; as the pill entered her stomach, her complexion indeed quickly turned rosy.

But at the same time, her lush hair quickly fell out.

This speed...............

Seeing that in just a dozen breaths or so, his daughter had turned into a bald head, Bai Ke spoke with a complex expression.

No, aren't these side effects coming a bit too fast?

But seeing his daughter's rosy complexion, Bai Ke forcibly restrained himself.

Alright, in about an hour or so she'll be able to wake; if there's nothing else, I'll head back first.

I'll see Fellow Daoist Sun off; another day I'll definitely come to thank you in person.

Valley Master Bai, you're too polite.

Bai Ke personally saw Sun Ming out of the Heavenly Blade Valley's station; after he returned to the room, about a quarter of an hour later, still less than an hour, Bai Honghua slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing his daughter awaken, Bai Ke was overjoyed and hurried forward to ask.

Honghua, how do you feel? Anywhere uncomfortable?

Dad, I am.............

You scared me to death.

"I............."

Just as she was about to speak, suddenly Bai Honghua felt something on her head; instinctively she reached up to touch it, and her expression immediately changed.

Her face turned pale, she looked anxiously at Bai Ke and said.

Dad, this isn't real, right?

Knowing what his daughter meant, Bai Ke weakly said.

Good girl, hair is just hair; if it's gone, it's gone—life is what matters most.

But the next second, Bai Honghua burst into tears.

I don't want it, I don't want to be bald; I want hair—without hair I'd rather die.

Seeing his daughter's heartbroken appearance, Bai Ke didn't dare continue speaking.

If she knew she'd never have hair again, she'd probably commit suicide on the spot.

Bai Ke could only first comfort Bai Honghua, coaxing her.

Good girl, even though your hair is gone, it can grow back later; as long as you give it some time, it can return to how it was before.

Really?

Really, when have I ever lied to you, Dad?

But how can I face people looking like this?

Dad naturally thought of that; look, this is a hat I specially prepared for you—wear it and no one will notice.

So ugly.

Bai Honghua looked at that hat with disdain, but after thinking, as long as she persisted for a while, her hair could grow back and return to normal; Bai Honghua thus accepted it.

Just watching this, Bai Ke felt uneasy inside, but he didn't dare tell his daughter the truth.

If Bai Honghua knew she would never have hair again, given her personality, who knows what she might do.

Forget it; let's take things step by step, first stabilize the present, then talk later.

Bai Ke, as an old father, has also done his best.

The White Rainbow Flower nurtured the wounds for several days, but the war did not stop because of it.

Even as the impact of the initial major defeat waned, the Undying Race's attacks became more frequent and fierce.

Battles broke out almost daily, with both sides exchanging blows, resulting in countless casualties.

Inside Tianhong Guan, within the Dao Yi Shengdi Zhudi, in the large courtyard where the Herbal Garden is located, Mu You suddenly came running out of the Pill Refining Room, waving his arms and legs.

He held a Jade Bottle in his hand and exclaimed excitedly.

"I succeeded, I finally succeeded."

While speaking, Mu You walked toward Qi Xiong's residence, thinking about it.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother..."

Before he even entered the door, that excited voice rang out; hearing it, Qi Xiong looked toward Mu You striding over and said.

"What's wrong? In broad daylight, what makes you so happy?"

"I succeeded, Senior Brother, I finally succeeded."

"What succeeded?"

"Poison Powder, the poison powder that counters the Withered Ghost Holy Land."

"Let me tell you, Senior Brother, this poison powder absolutely counters the Withered Ghost Holy Land; as soon as a disciple of the Withered Ghost Holy Land touches it, their Undying Rejuvenation Technique will surely be abolished, and then they'll be nothing but fish on a chopping board."

Watching Mu You constantly waving his arms and legs while expounding on the poison powder, Qi Xiong felt numb.

It seemed he had mentioned this before.

After the initial major defeat of the Blood Refining Holy Land, the Blood Refining Holy Land also became smarter, giving the Dao Yi Shengdi no chance to engage.

Instead, they switched to the Withered Ghost Holy Land.

And the Withered Bone Holy Land's famed Undying Rejuvenation Technique left the Dao Yi Shengdi with no good counter.

Thus, for a time, the Dao Yi Shengdi could no longer easily handle the Blood Refining Holy Land as before, and the battle became deadlocked.

The Undying Rejuvenation Technique, which can be called life‑restoring, is indeed a headache.

Relying on this single Undying Rejuvenation Technique, the disciples of the Withered Ghost Holy Land possess vitality far surpassing that of fellow cultivators of the same rank.

Even the disciples of Blood Blade Peak are inferior.

Quite troublesome, at that time Mu You kept muttering that he must research a way to counter the Undying Rejuvenation Technique.

But I never expected he would actually manage to create it.

Just looking at Mu You this excited, Qi Xiong silently muttered to himself.

"Aren't you a Pill Master? Why are you now researching poison? Are you trying to become a poison doctor or what?"

"I don't know why, but I always feel that Mu You's path is getting wilder and wilder."
