Chapter 652: I can try
Mu Qingyu touched her chest with surprise and uncertainty, feeling the endless vitality within her body.
The pill she had just taken suddenly replenished her with a huge amount of life force and blood, making her feel as if she had turned into a ball of flame, her whole body burning hot, with heat surging around her!
She was completely shocked!
The pills that Gu Heng fed her completely neutralized all the power that the "Fox Emperor's True Spirit" had seized!
Unprecedented!
At over 1,400 years old, Mu Qingyu is only a short time old for a demon, yet she has already consumed countless rare and precious herbs and elixirs.
Mu Qingyu has eaten everything that the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan could obtain.
But no other medicine is so potent!
The fox emperor's true spirit, which accompanied her birth and awakened and possessed her at the same time, was so domineering that it could be called a "curse"!
There was no way around it; after all, it was the will left behind by the most powerful ancestor of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan—the Celestial Fox Immortal Emperor. How could it be easy to resist the remaining power of the Immortal Emperor?
At least.
The entire Lesser Mystic Realm was helpless in the face of this.
In order to save her own life and grow up in peace, Mu Qingyu knew how much resources and effort her clan had spent.
The one who practically condemned her to death for her condition was the most powerful and skilled alchemy master in the Little Mystic Heaven Realm, Immortal Venerable Baiyu.
This is because.
Even Bai Yu Immortal Venerable could only help her stabilize temporarily, but could not cure the "lesion".
However, the medicinal power of the pills refined by Immortal Venerable Baiyu was vastly different from that of the pills given by Gu Heng!
"Better?"
Gu Heng saw Mu Qingyu suddenly stand up, her face regaining color, and thought to himself that his pills were still effective.
Previously, the medicines he concocted were all for treating illnesses of mortals. Now that he has become a cultivator, the medicines he concocts should also be able to work on cultivators...
All I can say is that I used this little fox girl as my guinea pig.
Fortunately, the test results were good!
"Brother Gu, where did you obtain this elixir?"
Mu Qingyu gripped his arm tightly, her eyes shining. Gu Heng felt he was seeing things, but Mu Qingyu's eyes seemed to truly hold stars, bright and hopeful. What was wrong with her?
"I made it myself."
"Ah? Brother Gu also knows how to make medicine?"
"Like forging, I know a little bit about it, but don't ask me anymore. What do you think now?"
"This is wonderful! I've never felt this good since I was born!"
Mu Qingyu was overjoyed and jumped up to give Gu Heng a big kiss on the cheek.
The Fox Emperor's true spirit's attack this time was unexpected. Mu Qingyu had been taking pills personally refined by Immortal Venerable Baiyu to suppress it. In theory, one "Soul-Condensing and Calamity-Controlling Pill" should be enough to suppress it for a hundred years. The last time she took the medicine was five years ago, so she never expected this to happen.
She had just thought she was going to die here, or be possessed by the Fox Emperor's true spirit; either way, it would be the worst possible outcome.
But she's still alive! "Ahem! Miss Qingyu, please slow down. It's just a small matter of a pill, nothing more than a small favor."
Feeling a little embarrassed by the sudden kiss, Gu Heng wondered if all fox-girls were so relaxed.
They are completely different from cats. Cats are often aloof and rarely show enthusiasm.
Of course, the most important thing was that seeing Mu Qingyu had returned to normal, Gu Heng was also relieved.
"However, Miss Qingyu, this seems to be an old problem?"
"Um……"
Mu Qingyu gritted her teeth inwardly.
It's not just a troublesome old thing; her wonderful demon life seems to be coming to an end very soon because of this Fox Emperor's true spirit. She's so angry she could die!
Gu Heng became serious. If this was a persistent problem, one pill wouldn't be enough. "Tell me in detail what happened?"
He intended to help Mu Qingyu get rid of this old trouble once and for all!
In the past, when treating patients, he would always prescribe the full amount of medicine at once to ensure a complete cure in one visit, so that patients wouldn't have to come back for follow-up appointments, which would be too much trouble.
In fact, before leaving Yunling City, his Gu Family Medical Clinic had been closed for quite some time. After arriving in the desolate city, he slacked off every day and had long since abandoned his original profession.
Even though once you're able to cultivate, who would still worry about whether or not to treat patients?
But now that he has encountered this situation, and it is the first time he has treated a cultivator, even though the cultivator is a demon, Gu Heng still intends to see it through to the end!
"Actually, it's not that complicated. It's just that there's a very hateful thought in my body that has been trying to drain me dry since I was born, and even trying to use my body to regenerate. I've been suffering all this time, and I've taken quite a few pills..." "I think this is a 'curse,' which is pretty annoying."
As Mu Qingyu spoke, her voice lowered.
She didn't actually know the reason either, and couldn't explain it in more detail.
I don't know why I was possessed by the Fox Emperor's true spirit, nor do I know why it was trying to extract my life force, blood, essence, and so on from me.
This is the "curse," the misfortune that comes with birth.
"In that case... I can help you cure it."
When Gu Heng heard Mu Qingyu say that, he already knew what was going on.
"real?!"
Mu Qingyu's eyes widened in excitement.
Her current condition could be described as merely clinging to life. The pills from Immortal Venerable Baiyu weren't free; although she could suppress the symptoms by taking them, it was only a temporary fix, and this method might fail one day. Wait a minute!
It's probably already invalid...
Otherwise, why would the Fox Emperor's true spirit have suddenly flared up just now?!
After Mu Qingyu took Gu Heng's pill, the Fox Emperor's true spirit immediately fell silent again. This can only mean that Gu Heng's pill is more powerful than Bai Yu Immortal Venerable's!
So what does this mean?
Does this mean that Brother Gu is a more powerful and skilled alchemist than Immortal Venerable Bai Yu?!
Such a person should not be unknown in the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm, and surely the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan would seek his help...
"Yes, I can treat this kind of problem, although I haven't done it before, but are you willing to trust me?"
Gu Heng possessed a copy of the "Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia," a system gift he received after maxing out his "Medical Skills." He had thoroughly memorized the book. It contained numerous records.
Mu Qingyu's condition is a rare and special case, where "her body is possessed by an external thing, causing her to lose her vitality."
This isn't poisoning; it's more like being possessed by an evil spirit, but it's ultimately treatable.
Of course.
Gu Heng initially thought this was nonsense. How could medicine cure someone who was possessed? They should find a cultivator who specializes in this art to exorcise the evil spirit!
But at that time he was still a mortal, with limited vision and shallow knowledge.
Now he is also a cultivator, and among cultivators there are alchemists who can use medicine to exorcise evil spirits and save lives.
So why doesn't he give it a try?
Although it's not a sure thing, it's always worth a try.
With readily available test subjects, why not give it a try!
"I believe in Brother Gu!" Mu Qingyu nodded vigorously.
He casually took out a pill and helped her suppress the Fox Emperor's true spirit again. This was something that even Immortal Venerable Baiyu couldn't do easily!
There is no harm without comparison.
Given this comparison, Mu Qingyu was naturally more inclined to believe Gu Heng.
Moreover, she also had some complaints about that Immortal Venerable Baiyu. Under the guise of extending her life, Immortal Venerable Baiyu had gained many benefits from the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan, and the clan owed him a lot of favors, which kept piling up and she didn't know how to repay them.
As a result, the grandson of the White Feather Immortal Venerable specifically requested to marry her, and the Nine-Tailed Immortal Venerable couldn't refuse, so she agreed directly.
If she doesn't agree, and if Immortal Venerable Baiyu cuts off the supply of pills, she will definitely be killed by the Fox Emperor's true spirit. Even if she isn't killed, she will no longer be "Mu Qingyu"!
Mu Qingyu still remembers how angry she was.
She slipped away without a word. Looking back now, she felt ashamed. After all, what did her running away do to the reputation of the entire Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan and the credibility of the Nine-Tailed Immortal Venerable?
I shouldn't have been so willful...
