The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1732 - 1731: Detoxification

"An eighth-grade Detoxification Pill? Are you sure you made it?"Granny Hua was somewhat skeptical. She placed the Jade Purifying Bottle near her nose, and the lingering scent from the bottle's mouth provided her with the answer.

"No need to look inside. Just the scent outside confirms that it's an eighth-grade elixir pill, and of high quality too."

Truly, as a master in poisons, her sensitivity to required scents in poison-making was fully utilized at this moment.

"That's right, a top-quality eighth-grade elixir pill. Master, please tell me if an eighth-grade elixir pill alone is enough to bring my father-in-law back, or is there anything else needed?"

This wasn't the time for Granny Hua to marvel; his father-in-law was still lying in bed half-dead, urgently waiting for Tang Rao to bring the elixir pill to save him.

"You still need a certain kind of water. That's what I remember, but that water is hard to find. See how it's described in the pill formula; I don't remember very clearly."

After all, Granny Hua didn't know alchemy, so remembering what water was needed wouldn't be of much use to her.

"Let me take a look."

Tang Rao opened the pill formula and carefully read through it, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"Luckily, I have it. Let's save my father-in-law first, and then we'll talk."

Granny Hua had no objection to Tang Rao's suggestion.

Three days had passed, and Tu Lingfeng's nails had turned black. What does this imply? It means he was already at death's door.

"Tang Rao, Uncle Tu is nearing his end. I've only been able to sustain him till now. Have you found a way to save him?"

Tang Rao had been away for three days, and Wen Jinjin stayed in vigil for those three days, using every possible means to keep Tu Lingfeng alive until now.

If not for Wen Jinjin's efforts, Tu Lingfeng might have been dead several days ago.

"I have a solution. Step aside first."

Tang Rao approached Tu Lingfeng's bed, placed the elixir pill in Tu Lingfeng's mouth, then fed him the river water he had brought from the empty mountains, watching him swallow both the elixir pill and water. Only then did his hanging heart settle down.

"What did you just feed Uncle? Can it really cure him?"

Wen Jinjin was somewhat skeptical, but because Tang Rao personally fed it, she suddenly had more confidence in Tu Lingfeng's recovery.

"An eighth-grade Detoxification Pill."

Tang Rao continued to focus intensely on Tu Lingfeng, observing his changes, answering Wen Jinjin with a casual tone.

He might treat Wen Jinjin with such nonchalance, but Wen Jinjin couldn't pretend to be as calm as Tang Rao.

She was aware that an eighth-grade Detoxification Pill could save Tu Lingfeng, but what exactly was an eighth-grade elixir pill? A god-like artifact, hard to come by. How could it be found so easily?

"Where did you get an eighth-grade Detoxification Pill? Was it from your side?"

Wen Jinjin was halfway there with her guess when she spoke. Now, the answer was confirmed.

Tang Rao admitted it! He admitted the eighth-grade elixir pill was his creation.

With Wen Jinjin being one of them, there was no need to hide anything.

"Really? You actually crafted an eighth-grade elixir pill? Tang Rao, you're truly a genius!"

Wen Jinjin was enlightened by inheritance and understood that an eighth-grade elixir pill was revered as a divine artifact, rare and precious. The person who granted her inheritance had only encountered one by chance - someone far superior to Tang Rao. It was something so difficult even for them to acquire, yet Tang Rao had it and easily gave it to Tu Lingfeng, displaying such generosity that Wen Jinjin felt it was worthy of emulation.

"Thank you for the praise. My genius was forced out; I don't even know if it will work. Once my father-in-law recovers, it won't be too late to praise me."

It had been a moment since Tu Lingfeng swallowed the elixir pill, but his body showed no signs of change.

Tang Rao was somewhat dumbfounded; he couldn't understand why this was happening. Could it be that one elixir pill was not enough, and he needed to administer another?

But it didn't matter whether it was Tang Rao or anyone else, giving two eighth-grade elixir pills to the same person simultaneously would evoke envy from all.

"Master, one eighth-grade elixir pill went down, but there's no response. Do we need another one?"

He turned his gaze towards Granny Hua, hoping her elder experience would be better than his private guesses.

"Wait. Even top-quality elixir pills require some time to take effect after ingestion. Especially this Detoxification Pill; if someone is deeply poisoned, the pill needs time to work within the body. Once internal toxins are neutralized, the body will gradually transform."

So that's how it was; luckily, Granny Hua explained, otherwise Tang Rao might have fed Tu Lingfeng a second eighth-grade elixir pill.

As a stick of incense burned down, Tu Lingfeng's body finally began to change.

Visible to the naked eye, the black energy moved from his feet to his legs, then his hands and face, eventually exiting his mouth where the black energy transformed into black liquid, which Tu Lingfeng spewed out.

This black liquid carried a stench, and when Tu Lingfeng expelled this foul black liquid, Tang Rao nearly questioned his life due to the stench.

"It's fine now. As long as the black energy from his body disappears and his color returns to normal, there won't be a problem."

Wen Jinjin assured Tang Rao.

Tu Lingfeng was not quite done, and as time progressed, he spat out more black liquid multiple times until all the black energy was thoroughly expelled.

"There shouldn't be any issues now. As for the recovery inside his body, only Little Fire Ginseng can verify."

When Tang Rao brought out Little Fire Ginseng this time, it was still trembling.

Previously, when it entered Tu Lingfeng's body, it got poisoned. And now it was expected to go in again?

"Tang Rao, let's discuss something, okay? You see that my body has just healed, and after narrowly keeping my life, surely you don't wish to lose a servant after my death, right?"

Little Fire Ginseng was quite eloquent, presenting good arguments, yet Tang Rao wasn't easily fooled. Regardless of what Little Fire Ginseng said, there was only one path forward - to go in.

With eyes shut, Little Fire Ginseng charged inward, soon realizing that this time was completely different from the last.

Last visit was filled with black energy and foul air. This time, it was much cleaner, and Little Fire Ginseng could faintly sense Immortal Energy.

After surveying all the blood vessels and pathways, it found no trace of toxins within and thus returned along the same route.

"There's no problem inside."

Tang Rao was pleased with this outcome, now they only awaited Tu Lingfeng's awakening to declare success.

"Where's Hong Xiu? She's been worried over this period; she should be brought in."

Tu Hongxiu obeyed Tang Rao's words and didn't visit Tu Lingfeng during his recovery. With Tang Rao's approval now, a mere sentence summoned her quickly to Tu Lingfeng's side.

"Father, are you alright? Open your eyes and see your daughter."
