CHAPTER 401: CHAPTER 263: LIFE WATER

Yun Sheng came to visit in the middle of the night, and Xia Wenxu was somewhat astonished.

"What are you doing looking for our Si Ming in the middle of the night?" Yu Mo felt an ominous premonition when he saw Yun Sheng.

"Yu Mo, no more talking, serve the tea," thought Xia Wenxu, smiling slightly at the thought that Yun Sheng thought of him when in trouble.

Yun Sheng concealed the matter of Yun Cangxue’s poisoning and roughly mentioned that Yun Bahe might have been poisoned by the Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid.

"Unexpectedly, the poison in General Yun is the Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid. I have also heard of this poison from people at the Summoning Court, but I never imagined it would be used on General Yun," Xia Wenxu pondered deeply, quite surprised by Yun Sheng’s discovery.

"I’ll just say it straight. My visit today is precisely to seek Xia Siming’s help. I heard that the Magic Temple possesses a high-level Light Magic, capable of purifying one’s physique. I would like to ask Xia Siming..." Yun Sheng hesitated for a moment before speaking out.

Upon hearing this, Xia Wenxu was stunned.

"I knew it, you never bring good news when you show up. Do you think high-level Light Magic is as common as cabbage and radishes, and that Si Ming can just use it on a whim, especially on those destined to die," Yu Mo, who had just brought the tea, immediately lost his temper.

Xia Wenxu also showed an expression of difficulty. Light Magic, due to its defiance of nature, indeed cannot be used lightly.

But seeing Yun Sheng’s earnest expression, the refusal that had reached his lips somehow could not be uttered no matter what.

"Si Ming," this time, even the usually quiet Yu Mo spoke up to oppose Xia Wenxu’s intervention.

Both he and Yu Mo knew that Yun Bahe’s case was not simple. Even without knowledge of the Heavenly Destiny Mirror, Chang Siming had already clarified in his letter that Yun Bahe’s death was destined to happen, and thus it would certainly occur.

Chang Siming also warned that Xia Wenxu only needed to protect the Great Zhou Imperial Family, and not to meddle in other affairs.

Junior Fate had always abided by Chang Siming’s words, but this time was an exception.

Initially, despite their advice, Junior Fate rashly told Yun Sheng about Yun Bahe’s impending blood disaster, thereby revealing part of the Heavenly Secret. Revealing the Heavenly Secret, even just a small part of it, would later backfire on him.

If Junior Fate helps Yun Bahe, it would mean going against destiny, which could have dreadful effects on his future cultivation...

Yu Ji and Yu Mo dared not think further.

The two were now somewhat resentful towards Yun Sheng. Despite their young age and limited understanding of male-female relations, they had already noticed that ever since Junior Fate disguised himself as Ji Mo to enter Little Ci’en Hall, upon returning, he seemed different.

The previous Junior Fate, who spoke little and was like an ice sculpture.

But now, Junior Fate had obviously become much warmer, just as his name suggested, occasionally gracing his lips with a smile.

Especially when this female Mage named Yun Sheng appeared, Junior Fate’s gaze towards her was soft like cotton, which greatly puzzled them both.

A disaster! Truly a living disaster!

Yun Sheng was unaware that, because of her arrival, the hearts of the two young wizards at the Magic Temple had been turned upside down.

In Xia Wenxu’s heart, it was no different.

He knew he could outright refuse Yun Sheng. The death of Yun Bahe, as revealed by the Heavenly Destiny Mirror, was fate, something no one could change.

But if Yun Bahe were to die, she would be deeply distressed.

Seeing the troubled expressions of several people in the Magic Temple, Yun Sheng thought Xia Wenxu was reluctant to use his own magic power to save Yun Bahe.

"Xia Siming, I won’t let you exert yourself for nothing. If you save General Yun, I will give you the secret technique for crafting the Moon God’s Praise. This secret technique, I believe, could raise the rank of the Magic Medicine in the Magic Temple by at least one level," Yun Sheng said, surprising Yu Ji and Yu Mo, who had been glaring at her before.

The two pointed at Yun Sheng, stuttering: "What did you say, the high-quality Magic Medicine Moon God’s Praise was crafted by you?"

No wonder Yu Ji and Yu Mo were so surprised; in the past half-year, this high-quality magic medicine had almost driven all the mages in the Magic Temple to their wit’s end.

All the Magic Pharmacists tried to craft the Moon God’s Praise, but even the most skilled ones in the Magic Temple had failed.

"Miss Yun, you don’t need to do that," Xia Wenxu hurriedly spoke up, not understanding why, but he detested dealing with Yun Sheng on such a bargaining basis. He wanted to help her simply because he wished to see her happy.

He didn’t know when it started, perhaps during those days at Little Ci’en Hall, he had grown accustomed to seeing Yun Sheng leaning on a cane, standing in the clinic at dusk, perusing the daily ledger.

Sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling gently, the dimples on her lips made him unwittingly daydream.

"Yikes!" Yu Mo almost knocked over the tea he was about to serve, forgetting himself. That was the Moon God’s Praise after all.

A high-quality magic medicine that could change a person’s Magic Physique, transforming a useless person into a Mage.

If they could unravel the secrets of such magic medicine, it would undoubtedly be extremely beneficial for the Magic Temple.

Xia Wenxu waved his hand displeasedly, "It’s not that I refuse to save General Yun, but, merely using Light Purification Magic cannot remove the poison inside General Yun."

Xia Wenxu had heard from Yun Sheng that Yun Bahe had mistakenly used Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid for three months. Being proficient in pharmacology and understanding the human body well,

he knew that three months was neither long nor short enough for the poison to permeate Yun Bahe’s organs and viscera, and even high-level purification magic could only remove the most superficial Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid Poison.

But to completely eradicate the Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid Poison entrenched in Yun Bahe’s bones, organs, and blood, mere magic was indeed insufficient.

"What else is needed? I will definitely find a way to prepare it," Yun Sheng said, with the backing of Wuji Commerce, she believed that even if she couldn’t immediately cure Yun Bahe’s poison, she could gather other materials using Wuji Commerce’s resources.

But what Yun Sheng didn’t expect was that the cure for Yun Bahe’s poison would be...

"I’m afraid that is something you cannot prepare, which is the Life Water from the Elf Clan. The Life Water can only be found deep within the Fire Elf Sacred Mountain in Xianju. The Life Spring is very precious, and even the Elf Clan cannot use it easily. Moreover, it’s well-known that the elves of Xianju Country despise the Human Clan the most, and time-wise, it is already too late to travel back and forth between Xianju and Great Zhou," Xia Wenxu sighed.
