Chapter 395: The antidote for Huayao is hard to find, Youmei plots again
"Found it, it's really the flower bite poison!"
Not long after, Si Yao's sudden words immediately attracted the other three people.
"How is it? Is there an antidote?" Honghua asked impatiently.
"Yes, the poison of flower bites should be cured with flowers. You need to find 4416 kinds of flowers and pick them according to the four directions of east, west, south, north, sour, sweet, bitter and spicy, and the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter."
"What? So complicated?" Si Yao had just finished speaking when Honghua frowned and sighed with a headache.
"That's not difficult. Anyone who is proficient in anthers can easily find these sixteen kinds of flowers. It just takes some time. The most difficult part is still behind this. In addition to the sixteen kinds of matching flowers, there are four other most important rare flowers that are hard to find in four directions. They are all on snowy mountains, cliffs, deserts and isolated islands, and they must be picked when they are in full bloom."
After hearing Si Yao's subsequent words, Honghua felt her eyes go dark and her heart sank. She had thought that the antidote for the flower bite poison would be hard to find, but she didn't expect it to be so hard to find. She didn't know how long it would take to find the first sixteen kinds of flowers, but the last four kinds of rare flowers would take at least four seasons. It seemed that she couldn't get rid of the Shadow Gate in a short time.
"How long will it take for Miss Xuanyu to suffer from the onset of the flower bite poison?" Seeing despair in Madam Honghua's eyes for the first time, Si Yao naturally guessed that Miss Xuanyu's condition was probably critical.
"Less than a year." Honghua shook his head dully and replied.
Si Yao felt a chill in her heart when she heard this. Spring was over and only three seasons were left. She was afraid it was too late...
Xiaolu lowered his head and looked thoughtful, wondering: I have heard of the Qi-transforming pill, but it is really vicious to hide such a strange poison in it. I wonder who this poisonous woman and her sister are? I think they are definitely not good people, otherwise why would they take the Qi-transforming pill? Let alone the strange poison, even if a person took an ordinary Qi-transforming pill, he would be half dead and half disabled, suffering from torture.
Si Yao was silent for only a moment, then hurriedly took out a pen and paper, copied down the passage about the flower bite poison from the medical book, handed it to Honghua and continued, "Madam, now is not the time to be discouraged, let's work together! You quickly bring this prescription back to Sanxiu Pharmacy to my master, and I will rush to Lianzhou to see if I can find Mr. Zisang. With the medical skills of this centenarian senior, I think there should be other ways to slow down the onset of this strange poison."
"Thank you, Sister Si Yao!" With Si Yao's encouragement, Hong Hua finally cheered up, thanked her hurriedly, and ran down the mountain.
"Xiaolu, go to the city and hire a carriage. We have to return to Lianzhou as soon as possible." Then, Si Yao turned to Xiaolu and instructed.
"Sister Si Yao, we've been traveling for such a long time and we're about to reach Qile City. Why don't you go meet that Mr. Li first?" Xiaolu, who was in a daze, suddenly heard that they had to go back to Lianzhou again, and said unhappily.
If the sister of this vicious woman is not a good person, why bother to save her? Maybe Sanxiu Medicine Store will get into unnecessary trouble because of this. But Xiaolu didn't dare to tell Si Yao about this worry directly. After all, she is a doctor and her only thought is to save people. What's more, that Yanyu has already lived in Sanxiu Medicine Store, so it's too late to say anything now.
"Things have their priorities. There's still a long way to go before we can see her." Si Yao glanced towards the north and sighed helplessly.
She hadn't expected that their road to reunion would be so long and difficult, but she couldn't just sit back and watch when it came to matters of life and death. Fortunately, she knew that Jiang Siyao was now safe and sound in Jiangnan, and was protected by Master Mu Liang and Mr. Zhou, so it should be okay to wait a little longer.
Xiaolu didn't say anything else and had to quickly walk down the mountain to hire a carriage in the city. Si Yao and Caiyi also came to the roadside heading south at the foot of the mountain with their bags and bamboo baskets and waited.
"Sister Si Yao, is the Western Region poison that Madam Honghua's sister was infected with really that scary? And what is that Huagong Pill? Why did she take it?" Caiyi was also full of curiosity at this time, so she couldn't help but ask while the two of them were waiting on the side of the road.
"Well, this poison is very scary. When it takes effect, it will make people emit a strange floral fragrance all over the body, and the limbs will feel like they are bitten by insects. Life is worse than death. Most people can't stand it and can only bite their tongues to commit suicide." Si Yao nodded and said slowly.
As for why Miss Yanyu took the Qi-transforming elixir, Si Yao naturally had no idea. She just guessed that they were not ordinary people.
"So there really is such a torturous poison in this world. Madam Honghua's sister is so pitiful!" Caiyi was so scared after hearing this that she covered her mouth with her hands, and muttered to herself with her bright and frightened eyes.
"I hope Mr. Zisang is still in Lianzhou." Si Yao also sighed to himself.
Honghua had already taken a step ahead of Si Yao and the others and was galloping westward towards Sanxiu Pharmacy. However, just after leaving Jiangnan of Jingsong Kingdom, he was blocked by a black shadow in the forest. Afterwards, many shadow warriors from the Shadow Clan appeared around him one after another.
"Where is Master Honghua going in such a hurry?" Youmei slowly turned around and asked Honghua in a low voice.
"I'm not from your Shadow Clan, do I need to report to you where I'm going?" Hong Hua still didn't get off the horse, but shouted with a sullen face.
Because of her sister, she now hates the Shadow Sect very much, especially the insidious and cunning leader of the Shadow Sect who is neither human nor ghost. If her sister's life is not in his hands, she will definitely make him taste the poison and make him live a life worse than death.
"Madam, why do you have to see me so angry? I just happened to meet you when I passed by here. Thinking that I have some friendship with you, I came forward to say hello." Seeing the anger on Honghua's face, Youmei was not annoyed but spread his hands and pretended to be aggrieved.
"Passing by? By chance? The Lord in Charge really has the leisure and elegance!" Honghua couldn't help but chuckled when he heard it, then put his hands on his waist and continued to smile sarcastically.
"Since we have the honor to meet, why don't you dismount and reminisce with me?" Youmei seemed to have lost his patience in arguing with this woman. He suddenly put his hands behind his back and his voice became low.
Although Honghua was not happy, she was still in the hands of the other party. She had no choice but to jump off the horse, come to Youmei, and once again said in a sarcastic tone: "Master, if you have any instructions, please speak up. I am a humble servant and my words are not worthy of reminiscing with you, Master."
"Oh, I just like dealing with smart people like Madam!" Youmei laughed and waved his hand, saying with a somewhat proud tone.
The shadow warriors guarding the surroundings immediately retreated several feet away upon receiving the order.
Honghua was holding back his anger but he clenched his fists and endured it, gritting his teeth and not saying a word.
"Don't misunderstand, ma'am. I was just praising you!" Youmei smiled lightly as if nothing had happened.
"Oh, really? Then Honghua would like to thank the master for the praise!" Honghua also showed a charming smile and bowed to the other party perfunctorily.
"I haven't seen you for several months, Madam. You're not in southern Xinjiang anymore. What's wrong? Are you still looking for a doctor?" Youmei sneered and asked.
Honghua snorted coldly, turned her head away and ignored him.
"Is Xuanyu feeling better?" Youmei asked himself.
"..."
Of course, what he got in return was still Honghua’s silence.
"Forget it. Since Madam doesn't want to reminisce with me, there's no need for me to make myself unhappy." Youmei sneered again and took out a leaflet from his sleeve and handed it over. He continued, "The names on this list are all officials and generals who refused to surrender to Xiyue Country but secretly defected to other countries. I order you to poison these people within three months."
"Wouldn't it be easier for the Shadow Sect to do something like this?" Madam Honghua opened the book and glanced at it coldly. She gnashed her teeth again in anger. After all, she was the owner of the Poisonous Insect Valley. When did she become a bottle of poison in the hands of the Shadow Sect? Moreover, this Youmei was really good at scheming. Asking her to poison these people in various countries was nothing more than to bring disaster into her Poisonous Insect Valley.
"With the Red Flower Valley Master here, how can the Shadow Sect take action in such a matter? Since you are willing to work for our Shadow Sect, I will naturally help my wife."
"Three months is too tight. Could you allow it to be extended to half a year?" Honghua was furious at the other party's shamelessness, but she still had to endure it. Besides, there were more important things to do right now and she couldn't continue to waste time here.
"It's rare that Lord Honghua Valley asks me for help. It would be very unkind of me if I don't agree." Youmei nodded and said with a smile.
"Thank you very much, Master!" Honghua put aside his pride, bowed to him solemnly, and continued: "Can I leave now?"
"Of course." Youmei moved a few steps to the side to make way.
Honghua didn't pay much attention to it, got on his horse and rode away.
Youmei then called two shadow warriors over and whispered a few words in their ears. Then the two shadow warriors hurriedly jumped on two horses beside them and chased in the direction where Honghua disappeared.
