Chapter 59 - 59 Wei Zhengqing Seriously Injured
“It was like this, we went to Linxian City…’
Yan Xiong got to this point when he was suddenly interrupted by Wei Zhengqing.
“Big Bear!”
Wei Zhengqing hastened to stop him, his voice incredibly weak, yet the urgency was still discernible, suggesting he did not want certain things to be Imown.
After the exclamation, Yan Xiong quickly shut his mouth.
“Cough… cough cough…”
Wei Zhengqing also started to cough violently again due to the overly intense reaction.
Lin Jing did not ask further and turned to look at Wei Zhengqing, who was lying in bed.
At that moment, his face was pale, appearing extremely weak, supported by Ning Yue, but there seemed to be something off with Ning Yue as well.
“Is it because of me?”
Ning Yue hung her head low, her expression unclear, but her voice trembled.
“Don’t think too much, it’s because of my own…” Wei Zhengqing weakly spoke.
Hearing the three words “Linxian City,” they struck a familiar chord.
After a moment, Lin Jing suddenly remembered that Wei Zhengqing and Ning Yue had come here from Linxian City, alongside Luo Luo’s father.
Unfortunately, Luo Luo’s father had met his untimely death in a foreign land, leaving only Ning Yue and her daughter Luo Luo behind.
Yan Xiong, with a worried frown, answered,
“Miss Ning, it’s best you don’t ask, it was our carelessness that allowed them to…”
Yan Xiong was only halfway through his words when Wei Zhengqing glared at him with his eyes.
He realized he had misspoken and promptly shut his mouth, standing quietly to one side without further comment.
It seemed that Yan Xiong was not good at lying.
Though Yan Xiong was cut off by Wei Zhengqing, it was still possible to infer that the injuries on Wei Zhengqing were likely caused by someone else. Ning Yue pursed her lips, her eyebrows knit tightly together, and said,
“Alright, I won’t ask.”
Having said that, Ning Yue placed her hand on Wei Zhengqing’s wrist, channeling a thread of spiritual power into his body to probe.
Ning Yue was extremely cautious, fearing that too much force might exacerbate the injury.
It was a long while before Ning Yue spoke again.
“You’ve already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.”
‘Yes.”
Wei Zhengqing responded.
Ning Yue then asked,
“People at the Foundation Establishment Stage have a strong recovery ability, how did you get injured so severely?”
“Moreover, there seems to be a force within you that is preventing your wounds from healing.”
“What exactly is going on here?”
Yan Xiong glanced at Wei Zhengqing and said softly,
“Wei Zheng was hit by a malicious magical treasure; a mass of venomous power was injected into his body, that’s why he’s been like this.”
“Moreover, this mass of venomous spiritual power keeps eroding Brother Wei’s life force, becoming more and more severe.”
“With Wei Zheng’s current condition, he might last about five more days. If the venomous spiritual power cannot be removed within five days, I fear it will be beyond salvation.”
Having finished, Yan Xiong’s head drooped, and the worry on his face deepened.
“Now, only by using the Pure Body Restoration Pill can we dispel that mass of spiritual power and heal Brother Wei’s injuries.”
“The Pure Body Restoration Pill!”
Ning Yue bit her lip hard, with so much force that even when fresh blood seeped out, she seemed not to notice.
As an alchemist, she knew all too well the difficulty of crafting the Pure Body Restoration Pill.
After this, the room fell silent.
Ning Yue contemplated with her head lowered for a while, then suddenly lifted her gaze, resolute, and declared,
“Yan Xiong, take good care of Zhengqing these next few days. I’ll see if I can find one, and if not, I’ll make it myself.”
“I’ll try to find one too,” Lin Jing echoed along.
Wei Zheng was a good person who had helped him before, and even gave him a Teleportation Talisman last time; Lin Jing simply could not stand by and do nothing.
But five days was dreadfully urgent.
Lin Jing frowned, knowing Wei Zhengqing was severely injured, he too had to hurry up with the alchemy.
He was very clear about the situation in the Fang Market, afraid that not even half a Pure Body Restoration Pill could be found; otherwise, the man in black wouldn’t have gone to the black market.
It would be better for Lin Jing to refine it himself since his success rate in producing Pure Elixir was very high.
Although there had been continuous problems with the refining of the Pure Body Restoration Pills recently, he couldn’t give up no matter what.
After all, this was a matter of life and death.
Forget about any bets, let whoever wants to deal with them do so.
Even if he managed to refine the Pure Body Restoration Pill, Lin Jing would definitely give it to Wei Zhengqing to take.
Afterward, Ning Yue went to the Inner Fang Market to look for the Pure Body Restoration Pill in a hurry and left Luo Luo behind as well.
And Lin Jing, after staying a while longer, excused himself to look for elixir medicines and left the place.
He went back home.
Lin Jing entered the System Space and began to continue refining the Pure Body Restoration Pill.
The first day, he refined two batches, both successful, yet no Pure Elixir came out…
The second day, he refined three batches, two were successful and one failed, still no Pure Elixir came out…
The third day, he refined three batches, all successful, yet still no Pure Elixir came out…
The fourth day.
Lin Jing started early in the morning with one batch, still successful, and still no Pure Elixir came out.
Perhaps because time was so pressing recently, Lin Jing was even more careful when refining elixirs, not daring to make the slightest mistake, as a result, his success rate in producing Pure Elixir was ridiculously high.
But unfortunately, there was still no Pure Elixir produced.
Lin Jing no longer had the time to complain, after refining the elixir medicine, he immediately sat down to recuperate.
Due to the constant alchemy during this period, the remaining time to enter the System Space was only one and a half hours left.
This amount of time was only enough for one more batch.
“Tomorrow will be the fifth day; if it still can’t be refined, I fear Brother Wei will…”
The urgency of time distracted Lin Jing for a moment…
Then, regaining composure, Lin Jing quickly settled his mind and continued to sit and recuperate.
After four hours, Lin Jing had recovered.
Without hesitation, he immediately entered the System Space.
Like usual, after all the preliminary preparations were in order, Lin Jing used the Controlling Fire Technique to carefully control the flames, not daring to be the least bit negligent.
An hour passed quickly, and this time was no exception; the scent of the pills filled the air, Lin Jing was used to it, the scent only meant the alchemy was successful, it didn’t guarantee that the Pure Elixir would appear.
However, after waiting for a while, there was still no system prompt.
By now, the scent of the elixir had covered the entire Alchemy Room, making its way straight into Lin Jing’s nostrils.
The scent was intoxicating and seemed even purer than usual; just smelling it made Lin Jing feel intoxicated.
This scent, and this timing, could it be…
The last time it took this long, a Pure Elixir was produced, which he remembered clearly.
Lin Jing struggled to contain his excitement, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the Pill Furnace…
Time ticked by second by second…
Lin Jing also dared not relax…
Suddenly.
The system announcement sounded.
“Ding”
“System notification: Congratulations to the host for refining the Pure Elixir
and receiving the reward: 20 Harvest Points.”
“The elixir medicine was successfully refined, alchemy proficiency +80..”
