Chuxue was freaked out and thought that Zong Shou was going to put her out of her misery so that she didn’t suffer.
A short moment later, he realized that the sword had avoided the heart. The angle at which it stabbed in from was also tilted.
When Zong Shou pulled out that lightning tooth sword the sword tip was dripping thick blood.
...it had also become purple-black in color, but one could roughly see the purple gold lines within.
Zong Shou brought the sword tip to his nose and took a sniff, immediately frowning. A lightning glow exploded out at the sword tip and it burst the thick purple-red drop of blood into pieces.
This poison could corrode weapons. Luckily his sword could activate a lightning glow barrier which suppressed it.
However, when the blood was smashed into pieces it gave off an even worse stench. Chuxue nearly fainted and fell to the ground.
Hu Zhongyuan beside gave off a stern expression. He tried to bear with the stench and walked beside Zong Shou, hesitantly persuading him, “Young master, this poison is just too dangerous. You’re really important and should move away. Why not let me do this or that bastard behind us...”
Zong Yuan rolled his eyes, but he didn’t feel angry. He was controlled by others and his actions weren’t up to him. If he didn’t become cannon fodder at least he would be asked to do dangerous things like today.
Anyways he had lost all interest in living and rather wished that he died. No matter how these people tortured him, he didn’t care.
Zong Shou waved his hand and told Chuxue and Hu Zhongyuan to back off. Then, he used a spell to summon a ball of water and shoved a few pills into her mouth.
Then, he stabbed tens of golden needles into her acupoints all over her body.
He sighed, it was unfortunate that Xuanyuan Yiren wasn’t here now. If not, she would be of more help than him, who wasn’t that adept.
It was only because he was really good in marital cultivation. His energy cultivating method reached a really high level. As such he had a high understanding of the body structure and limbs. However, in terms of medical skills, he was worse than Xuanyuan Yiren.
Zong Should took a close look at her skin which, like her face, was protruding in some areas. They were spotted such that one didn’t want to look. He had an idea, “I should be right. This poison is most probably the seven decay ghost face. Who knows why day wandering spirit master harmed her...”
Zong Yuan and Chuxue didn’t think much. Hu Zhongyuan, on the other hand, was really knowledgeable. His face turned ashen white, “Seven decay ghost face... Is that the ghost face snake?”
Zong Shou nodded, looking in surprise at Hu Zhongyuan. There weren’t many in the world that knew about this poison.
There weren’t many ghost face snakes and most of them lived below the cloud ocean at some horrible abysses.
However, they were often used by day wandering spirit masters as protector beasts. This snake grew extremely fast and was grade 3 right when they were born. As long as one gave enough ebays crystals, poison, and food, in 200 years they can reach grade 7. As for grade 8 and 9, their speed was faster than the same as grade beasts.
In terms of fighting strength, they were slightly weaker and were pretty much the weakest type. But the poison they possessed was pretty much unbreakable. The higher the grade, the more poisonous it was. There was also some chance it could evolve into a flood dragon, which was why spirit masters loved it so much.
After being poisoned, one would look exactly like this girl. The face would look like a devil, and such protrusions and patterns would appear on one’s body.
They would go through a total of 7 stages, and the internal organs and bones would fail one by one.
Hu Zhongyuan’s face changed, following which he got up to persuade, “so it is this poison. Prince, please end her soon! I heard that this poison is wired, and unless a spirit master specifically made herbs for it, it is impossible to cure. If one isn’t careful one might be infected. What a vicious poison!”
Zong Shou didn’t bother about whether his words were true or not, sitting at the spot and looking back into his memory at that huge book depository.
Although the spiritual energy weakened, the research into spells and medicine improved. Along with information being more connected, medicine proliferated and became prosperous.
Many difficult problems and profound topics in ancient times were solved one by one in the future.
This included this poison which many people viewed as unsolvable.
The library where Zong Shou was at was built by a country. Not only did it have a lot of books, but they also had pretty much all kinds of books. Zong Shou spent 10 years there, reading a large part of all the books, amongst which were some records of the seven decay ghost face.
However, he roughly remembered that the conditions to remove the poison were really demanding.
Not long after, some passage of words appeared in his mind. A look of relaxation could be seen in his eyes.
“...luckily it’s just a grade 6 poison, this woman can still be saved! However, the poison entered her bone and we must use some time to remove it. The blood in her body must also be switched out...”
Zong Shou didn’t bother about that smelly blood, bending down, holding her tongue and sucking.
When Chuxue and Hu Zhongyuan saw that, they took in a deep cold breath.
The latter wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Chuxue was so terrified that her face turned ashen white. She was just 3 feet away and personally witness Zong Shou and this ugly woman’s tongue’s cross, she was really worried.
Since this poison was so weird, would young master contract it? Even if he wanted to save her, he didn’t need to do this. Young master really didn’t care about his own life.
Zong Shou sucked for a while before he raised his head and spat out a mouth of blood to the side. It watered the land at the side and instantly a small wisp appeared.
After one was poisoned, there were two areas that were hit the worst. One would be the tip of the tongue while the other would be the heart, where one’s essence blood is at. To save the person, one had to clean out the blood at these 2 areas.
He sucked a few times until the purple-red color dimmed. Zong Shou pressed onto her left chest and sucked, similarly 5-6 mouths before he stopped.
After doing so, he felt like his brain felt heavy. Luckily his spiral true Qi was great at removing poison. It either froze it or burnt it. If not the lightning would blow it up and removed it from the body.
This was the reason he didn’t order the few of them to help. Although their cultivations were decent, in terms of removing poison, they weren’t as good as him.
Sucking out the essence blood of the person, Zong Shou made a hand sign and chanted some incantations, using a spell on the wound on her body.
This was to confirm her blood type. In just a moment, only to see a dim gold dot appear on the purple-red blood.
When Zong Shou saw her type, he was startled, “How coincidental, I wanted to get some fresh blood from nearby. It’s great that her blood is the same as mine!”
Long during the cloud desolate era, there were people who wanted to use blood transfer methods to treat illnesses. There were some successful examples but most of the time the person would die within a day.
Only until 4 thousand years later when they realized blood type could be split into 3 types and couldn’t be swapped. Which was why they invented this spell to deduce the blood type. There was a gold, silver and copper color. Many diseases that were hard to solve in ancient times were solved.
This girl’s blood type was the gold color which was the same as him, saving him a lot of effort.
He slit her wrists and started to let out the poisonous blood. Instantly a nauseating stench struck him. Dripping into the grass, the nearby range of withered trees expanded.
However, this time be it Chuxue or Hu Zhongyuan they both stood still on the spot, resisting the urge to back off. Even Zong Yuan just covered his nose and didn’t move.
Zong Shou stabbed a really thick golden needle which was 3 inches long until the poisonous blood didn’t follow out anymore. He hollowed inside near her heart. He also slit his own wrist, fresh blood was directed by the spell into the golden needle and into her body.
An hour had past and the woman’s face showed some brightness and life. Those ugly protrusions hadn’t disappeared, but some signs of life had recovered.
Hu Zhongyuan was really surprised. He thought that this seven decay ghost face that everyone said was unsolvable was so easily cured? He had heard of this blood exchanging method but most people would die in a few hours.
The prince’s medical skills were really miraculous. His spiritual cultivation and martial arts were so pervertedly strong, now his medical skills were strong too...
Chuxue didn’t pay attention to this, only seeing Zong Shou’s face becoming a paper-like color. She could help but raise her white and tender wrist in front of him, “Young master why not use my blood. I’m also a girl, so my blood should be able to be used.”
Zong Shou couldn’t help but laugh. This blood had nothing to do with sex. Even the same bloodline, but it couldn’t be compared to the lightning Phoenix essence in his body.
He stopped the wound before the amount of blood he released was close to harming him.
Since that poison had entered the bones, it meant that her organs were affected.
This blood exchanging method had a great effect when one was just poisoned but at this stage, Unless one did it 50-60 times one wouldn’t be able to solve it totally.
He still needed some energy to prepare for the next blood exchange.
Just as he was about to pull out the golden needles, his eyes moved towards her face. Only to see that she was already awake, her eyes clear as she looked at him.
His heart moved, his ashen white face smiling, “You are Ruo Shui?”
It seemed like she was having a tough time speaking, opening her mouth to speak but stopping. She nodded her head, raising her hand and lightly touching his face. Her eyes filled with joy. Until her eyes turned cloudy and she fainted once more.
Zong Shou didn’t bother to look at the sky. Looking at the time, he definitely couldn’t search for any more spirit veins.
