He made another effort to help the girl in white with energy healing, and after half an hour, she regained consciousness again.
This ti, she did not pass out again but instead looked up at Duan Gujin with wide, terrified eyes.
"Don't worry, I bear no ill will towards you. I saved you after seeing you faint. Please, don't faint again. You've been poisoned, what kind of severe poison is it?"
Upon hearing his words, the girl in white imdiately cald down, and after a while, she said to Duan Gujin, "I've been poisoned with the Deadly Hundred-Day Poison Pill."
Deadly Hundred-Day Poison Pill?
Duan Gujin had no idea what it was; he could only guess from the na of the poison.
Deadly ant that this poison pill was extrely toxic, and the implication of "hundred days" was that a poisoned person would not live for more than a hundred days.
Duan Gujin, not knowing much about the Deadly Hundred-Day Poison Pill, barely guessed the composition of the poison. Without any Spiritual dicine on hand, there was no way he could detoxify the girl in white.
He speculated that she must not have the antidote on her; if she did, she would have already taken it.
Duan Gujin guessed the girl's poisoning ingredients approximately. He found that the Spiritual dicines inside her storage ring were not abundant and lacked many critical ones. He wouldn't be able to refine a Detoxification Pill with the ones she had found.
Taking a deep breath, Duan Gujin had no choice but to forcefully suppress the girl's injuries, hastily wrapped her body in a piece of white cloth, and then carried her, sprinting back to the Capital City at extre speed.
Duan Gujin knew he couldn't just bring her back ho like this, so he took her to an inn.
The innkeeper, seeing Duan Gujin with an unconscious girl in white, had a look of envy on his face.
"This young man is so lucky to have found such a beautiful woman!"
Duan Gujin settled her in a secluded courtyard of the inn, then quickly went out to buy so basic injury dicines and Detoxification Pills to help the girl suppress her injuries.
Having purchased the Spiritual dicine, he hurried back to the inn and applied the basic injury dicine to the woman.
Once she was able to stand on her own, he told her to rest well.
Although the Detoxification Elixirs he had bought could temporarily suppress the deadly poison in her body, they could not completely cure the severe poison inside her.
Duan Gujin still hadn't found the right Detoxification Elixir, so he couldn't completely cure the poison in the girl in white.
Half a day later, the girl in white woke up.
Her physical strength had sowhat recovered, her movents beca normal, but with her body seriously damaged, she couldn't forcefully use any Primordial Power.
Once she did, she would faint again.
Duan Gujin then said to the girl in white, "I have temporarily suppressed the poison in you. Do you know the formula for a Detoxification Pill or any Detoxification Elixir?"
The girl in white replied, "I don't know! I have no Detoxification Pill Formula. I've only been forcibly persevering."
A flicker passed through Duan Gujin's eyes as he said, "Who exactly are you? You see, I am not your enemy; just tell the truth! Don't lie. If I had any ill intentions, your situation would be dire by now."
After contemplating for a while, the girl in white felt that Duan Gujin probably wasn't her enemy.
Thus, she decided to tell Duan Gujin everything.
"My na is Wang Yue, I'm from Qiankun Country. My father is a well-known Alchemist there. He's famous, but I'm not gifted in Alchemy and have almost no talent for it. My father had a fellow disciple; they were always at odds. A month ago, my father's disciple attacked him, and I was the only one who escaped from my family. I've barely made it to this place."
"Oh, I see," replied Duan Gujin, unable to verify whether Wang Yue's story was true and choosing to believe her for now.
"Do you know the formula for a Detoxification Pill?" he asked.
"I really don't. I'm only depending on so of the knowledge my father passed on to , trying to figure out the poison," she answered.
Duan Gujin said, "The poison in you requires a lot of High-level Spirit dicine to completely neutralize. So far, I can only help you temporarily suppress the deadly poison, but it is very severe! It has already infiltrated every part of your body, and I fear you have less than a month left."
Hearing Duan Gujin's words, the girl in white's complexion changed drastically.
After a while, she sighed and looked extrely despondent.
"Do not be sad, do not be distressed. I can cure the poison in you if I find the necessary Spiritual dicine; I just don't have those High-level Spirit dicine right now!"
"I only have one month left?" the woman in white said faintly.
Duan Gujin replied, "Yes, but rest assured, I will do my utmost to help you!"
Her eyes twinkling for a mont, the woman in white asked, "Then can you refine elixir?"
"Yes, as long as the grade of the elixir pills is not high, I can produce them." Duan Gujin nodded vigorously in affirmation.
"Very well, I'll tell you, go outside and wait for , I have the spiritual dicine and elixir recipe on that can neutralize the intense poison within my body! I lied to you just now! You know, I am very afraid of being deceived now!"
Wang Yue said.
"Oh! No problem! I'll go out right now!"
Upon hearing Wang Yue's words, Duan Gujin instantly realized sothing; he guessed that the reason Wang Yue wanted him to leave was surely because she hid the spiritual dicine in a very secret place on her body.
Duan Gujin stepped out for a while, and then he heard Wang Yue calling him from inside.
He entered and saw a pile of spiritual dicine and an elixir recipe laid out on the table.
He scanned them with his Divine Sense and quickly confird that the spiritual dicine he now saw on the table was indeed what was needed to refine the antidote and the elixir recipe for Wang Yue's severe poison.
His face brightened with joy as he hurriedly said to Wang Yue, "Yes, these are precisely the antidotes I've been seeking."
After inspecting them, he was certain that the spiritual dicines and the elixir recipe he saw were correct.
"You rest well here for now, I will go back imdiately to refine the detoxification elixir for you, wait for here!"
Duan Gujin said.
"Okay!" Wang Yue replied.
The next day, Duan Gujin sought out Wang Yue and brought her the antidote.
After Wang Yue took the antidote, she sat cross-legged on the bed.
A mont later, steam began to rise from the top of her head.
Seeing this, Duan Gujin was certain he hadn't made a mistake in the refining process.
Two hours later, Wang Yue hastily spat out several mouthfuls of black blood.
She continued to spit out a lot of black blood until she finally vomited fresh blood.
Despite having lost much blood, her face still retained a healthy flush.
Seeing the expression on Wang Yue's face, Duan Gujin knew she was almost well.
"How are you feeling now?" he asked hurriedly.
"Almost recovered!"
Duan Gujin then said to Wang Yue, "All those poisonous herbs you collected from the mountain have been taken by ; I need them!"
"Sure, take them, I don't need them anymore now!"
Wang Yue said.
"Then you rest well here, I have already paid all the lodging fees for you, and the inn's waiter will deliver three als a day to you!" Duan Gujin said.
"Oh, thank you so much!"
Wang Yue said.
"No need to be polite with !"
When Duan Gujin returned to the Duan Family, he gave the Poison Pill to Duan Yi, repeatedly cautioning him to never stand out fiercely for his friend's sake.
"Family Head, your friend may very well bring about your demise, you must be extrely careful of your friend's political enemy!"
Duan Gujin said.
"You're right! I have this feeling as well! My friend's political enemy is indeed too formidable!" sighed Duan Yi.
