A stream of light descended from the sky, like a shooting star, landing precisely in front of the stage.
At the same time, a clear and resonant voice suddenly echoed from all directions: "Young Master Qing, don't you mind the old man joining your grand ceremony of opening the academy?"
The light flickered and dissipated, revealing the Young Master Kael, who was among them. He didn't seem to have noticed that there were already many people on the stage.
The person who spoke was a young man wearing a white robe and a jade crown. Everything about him was refined and elegant. In his left hand, he held a beautiful young girl. The girl looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. As soon as she landed, she began looking left and right, as if searching for someone.
Upon seeing the appearance of the two, the Young Master Kael and the others on the stage immediately stopped. It turned out that they were respected and revered figures in the academy, and it was not their place to be disrespectful.
Qinghe's lips curved into a playful smile.
Kael suddenly became serious.
"Originally, it was the Poison Master Kael who was supposed to be here to open the academy. I didn't expect that you Poison Masters would actually take the initiative to join us."
Kael didn't know what kind of poison the Poison Master was referring to. His daughter had also been poisoned. She had also run to the academy to join the opening ceremony, but it had been too late. She had already died of poison.
Zhang Xiaobo also had a helpless look on his face. He simply waved his hands casually and then stood beside his daughter, looking like a statue.
In a moment, Qinghe had arrived. At the moment he landed, Zhang Xiaobo's eyes lit up. He walked to Zhang Xiaobo's ear and whispered a few words. Zhang Xiaobo remained silent and began to get up and go down.
Kael and the others from the academy also got up. It seemed that Qinghe had already informed the Poison Master of the situation.
However, Qinghe also noticed the expressions of Zhang Xiaobo and Zhang Xiaobai.
Unconsciously, he finished speaking to the academy's elders.
The elder Kael got out of the way. After saying a few more words, he simply opened the opening ceremony and began to address the audience.
Zhang Xiaobo had no intention of paying attention.
Qinghe saw Zhang Xiaobai's silent gesture and then said, "Let's go."
Zhang Xiaobai suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a moment."
Qinghe was surprised. He turned around and before he could speak, Kael, the elder of the academy, hurriedly said to him, "Zhang Xiaobai, is there something wrong? Qinghe is a good child. He only knows how to cultivate in his daily life. He has never committed any crimes. How could he have offended you?"
"Don't worry, he hasn't offended the old man. Even if he did, the old man wouldn't blame him. The old man's daughter is a capable person. The old man is looking for him for something else. Currently, the old man is looking for a cure for his daughter's poison. The old man and this little friend Qing have something to discuss. It's a matter of discussion."
Zhang Xiaobo said with some embarrassment.
Qinghe also opened his mouth at this time: "Don't worry, Dean. I and Zhang Xiaobai have discussed it before. Zhang Xiaobai asked me to come here because of Zhang Xiaobo's matter."
It wasn't that he was looking for trouble. Dean Kael also couldn't help but sigh, and then led them into the academy to receive them. Then he left, leaving the space to the three of them.
"I'm relieved to see that the poison on your body has been removed by more than half. That's good, and I can rest assured."
Seeing Zhang Xiaobai's already fading white hair, Qinghe's face showed a faint smile.
Zhang Xiaobai was slightly startled. His beautiful face was suddenly surprised, "Poison? I'm poisoned..."
"Yes, the symptoms I told you about before were the symptoms of your poisoning. Moreover, what you are poisoned with is the poison of the Soul Devouring Grass. When I saw you cultivating the Soul Devouring Grass, I knew that the three roots you planted were all poisonous. If it were the Poisonous Grass, it would be fine, but you are the Soul Devouring Grass. Under the influence of the Soul Devouring Grass, the poison of the Soul Devouring Grass will not invade your body. However, you have been searching for various medicinal herbs. Fortunately, you found them early. If you continue to absorb the three roots of the Poisonous Grass, you will be truly in danger."
Qinghe's face was expressionless, completely like a good doctor.
Zhang Xiaobai had been observing Qinghe the whole time, watching his every move, and then opened his mouth, "Little friend, have you also been poisoned?"
"I have been poisoned, but I found some antidotes years ago and know how to detoxify. So, you can consider me a master of antidotes." Qinghe said with a calm expression.
"Okay, find a master of antidotes." Zhang Xiaobai naturally didn't have any objections, but he couldn't help but reveal a trace of surprise. "That's great. I'll ask you. You've found the antidote for my poison, right? Then..."
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaobai already recognized that he was indeed poisoned. Seeing Zhang Xiaobai's posture of finding an antidote for himself, he couldn't help but pull his hand and said, "Master..."
But seeing that his Master Zhang Xiaobai didn't seem to care, he said, "Don't worry about it."
Qinghe's face was calm and said, "First, use the Soul Essence. It's best to use the Soul Essence of a mature body. As long as you inject the poison into the Soul Essence, it will be fine. In this way, you can permanently solve Zhang Xiaobai's problem. If there is no Soul Essence, ordinary spiritual bones can also be used, but it's best not to look for some ordinary spiritual bones, because ordinary spiritual bones have certain limitations. If they exceed the limit, it's hard to say that one day they will backfire. When looking for high-quality Soul Essence, every half a year or so, use my unique formula to refine the poison, and don't mention other things. If you cultivate to the point where even the Soul God can't help you."
"I knew it, I knew it... How could I not have thought of it before..."
Zhang Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and he remained silent for a moment, then his eyes suddenly became sharp.
All men had greedy hearts, but this was the most heartbreaking thing.
If he had known this method earlier, his son would not have died.
His son would not have died because his spiritual bones were injected with poison.
He would not have taken his own daughter, Zhang Xiaobai, to be a substitute.
"Master..." Zhang Xiaobai saw his Master's posture and couldn't help but tremble.
"Master, it's okay." Zhang Xiaobai smiled faintly. At this moment, he had also put aside his vigilance towards Qinghe. He looked at Qinghe again and couldn't help but say, "Little friend Qing, what about the second method?"
Qinghe said, "The first Soul Essence for Zhang Xiaobai is the Black Scale Snake.
"Not enough." Zhang Xiaobai remained silent, because he couldn't find an antidote, so he could only pin his hopes on running to the academy in time. He hoped that his son and daughter would not be poisoned and backfire on their bodies, and ascend to the throne of the Emperor.
And the method of accelerating cultivation was to collect the roots of the Soul Devouring Grass.
So, he had found a three-hundred-year-old Black Scale Snake long ago to make the first Soul Essence.
ps: The second update will be tomorrow.
