Outside the secret room, the people of the Five Immortals Sect saw that there was no movement in the cave and began to become impatient.
"Listen up, everyone inside! Hand over the medicine man immediately, and we may consider sparing his life. If he continues to be stubborn, not only will the medicine man die, but everyone else will be buried with him!"
They shouted loudly, and their voices penetrated the stone walls and echoed inside the cave.
"It's Elder Wuyou's voice..." Ai Qi's voice trembled a little, "He is the most respected elder in the church. He has been brooding over Feng Wan's refusal to offer the medicine man for a long time. This time he will definitely not let it go!"
"Don't worry about him, just continue looking for medicine."
Ai Qi shuttled between the medicine shelves, opening the bottles in her hands one by one and putting them down in disappointment.
The last time Feng Wan made medicine was ten years ago.
No one has used this place for ten years, so the hope that there might be life-saving medicine here is really slim.
Ai Qi had searched all the cabinets but found nothing. She turned back to look at Liao Qinglan and said tentatively, "After all, Master Gu is not a member of our sect. They also said they would not harm his life. Perhaps... we can discuss it with the elders?"
"Impossible." Liao Qinglan refused categorically. "If we hand him over, we will be at the mercy of others. I would rather die here with him than let them have their way."
"But the snake venom has already penetrated deep into the bone marrow. Even if we find the Seven-Leaf Flower now, it's too late to refine it! They exchanged our medicine before, and the potion must be in the hands of the elders. Now only they can save Master Gu!"
"There are things in this world that you can do and things that you shouldn't do. Even if Ah Zhao is awake now, he won't let them succeed just to survive." Liao Qinglan's attitude was very firm.
"You have a chance to survive, why do you do this?"
Ai Qi couldn't understand Liao Qinglan's choice.
"If I compromise today, I will only encourage their arrogance, and they will be even more reckless in the future. In the past, Master Feng had a hard time making a slight change in the atmosphere here. I cannot destroy the hope he has planted because of a moment of weakness."
Ai Qi stared at Liao Qinglan blankly, not knowing what to say.
When Liao Qinglan said these words, she seemed to see the appearance of the young Feng Wan back then.
He also faced the power and intimidation of the elders and did not back down at all.
One can't help but believe in the decision she made.
Liao Qinglan hugged Gu Mingzhao tightly, both of them closed their eyes, as if waiting for the destiny to come.
The shouting outside the door gradually became blurred, and it seemed as if there were only her and Gu Mingzhao in the world.
The snake venom must have spread throughout her body. She felt cold all over and her limbs began to go numb.
Although the shadow of death loomed over her head, Liao Qinglan was in a peaceful state of mind.
She has lived two lives.
At least in this life, she protected her parents and relatives, and she and Gu Mingzhao expressed their feelings to each other.
Although this life is short, I should be content.
If we could be buried together after death, maybe we could continue our relationship in the next life.
At this moment, a subtle sound of a mechanism being activated came from deep in the cave.
Then there was a creaky sound, like the sound of a door opening.
In the empty cave, the slightest sound will be infinitely amplified.
After hearing the noise, Liao Qinglan raised her head with difficulty and looked towards the source of the sound.
I saw the door of a cabinet at the innermost part of the secret room slowly opening from the inside.
A white figure walked out of the cabinet.
The white dress is more beautiful than snow and is not tainted by the mundane world.
His face had an indifferent expression, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.
It was the leader of the Five Immortals Sect, Feng Wan.
"Master Feng, why are you here?" Liao Qinglan's voice was a little surprised and weak.
Feng Wan seemed not to hear and walked straight towards Gu Mingzhao.
He pulled a dagger from his sleeve and cut his wrist without hesitation.
Blood gushed out instantly. Feng Wan pinched Gu Mingzhao's jaw, forced his mouth to open slightly, and fed the blood drop by drop into his mouth.
Ai Qi was so shocked that she could hardly speak: "Feng Wan...you are..."
Feng Wan still didn't say anything. He turned to look at Liao Qinglan who was still sitting there.
Liao Qinglan also looked at her stupidly, not yet reacting.
Feng Wan shook his head slightly, as if lamenting her stupidity.
He picked up the porcelain bowl next to him, dripped his blood into the bowl, and then handed it to Liao Qinglan.
Although Liao Qinglan didn't understand, she didn't care about much at this critical moment of life and death. She took the bowl and drank it all.
As the warm blood entered her throat, Liao Qinglan felt that the biting chill in her body was miraculously dispelled, and her limbs gradually regained consciousness.
There seemed to be a warm current flowing through her meridians, and the snake venom in her body was obviously slowly fading away.
"Thank you, Master Feng." She said to Feng Wan.
Feng Wan nodded slightly as a response to her gratitude.
Then he stretched out his fingers, touched Gu Mingzhao's wrist, and began to take his pulse carefully.
"It's snake venom. You are only one step away from success."
Ai Qi's anxious expression was obvious: "The seven-leafed flower we originally prepared was secretly replaced by Elder Wu Yu. What should we do now?"
"Don't be impatient."
These four simple words had the power to calm people's hearts and even calm Aiqi's anxious mood.
Feng Wan turned around and walked to the cabinet he had come out of earlier.
With a light touch of my fingertips, I pressed a mechanism somewhere and the cabinet made a "click" sound.
A compartment opened, revealing a wide variety of medicine bottles.
Feng Wan looked around for a moment, then accurately took out a small green-glazed bottle. He shook it gently, and the liquid in the bottle made a tinkling sound.
He opened the bottle cap and poured the liquid in the bottle into the medicine pool.
"Put him in." Feng Wan said in a deep voice.
Feng Wan had just saved Liao Qinglan's life. She trusted Feng Wan's words very much. Without any doubt, she worked together with Ai Qi to carry Gu Mingzhao into the medicine pool.
Gu Mingzhao's face turned red and white, as if there were two completely different forces fighting fiercely in his body.
His brows were furrowed and sweat was dripping down his forehead. He looked even more painful than when he was poisoned by the snake just now.
The water in the medicine pool began to change the moment he entered.
The water surface, which had been soaked in countless kinds of medicinal liquids, was emitting a strange green color and began to ripple.
The undercurrent in the water surged quietly, surrounding Gu Mingzhao, as if being attracted by his body.
"Why is the water moving suddenly?" Ai Qi felt it was very strange.
The water in this pond is stagnant, how come there are sudden fluctuations?
"It's his body that is absorbing the essence of the medicine." Feng Wan said.
The water surface became more and more turbulent, and the medicinal power continued to flow into Gu Mingzhao's body.
As the medicinal properties were continuously absorbed, the originally eerie green water surface began to gradually become clear.
The green seemed to be swallowed by Gu Mingzhao's body and transformed into power in his body.
The impurities and toxins in the water were purified one by one, until finally, the water in the entire medicine pool became clear and transparent, as pure as a spring flowing through the mountains.
Gu Mingzhao lay quietly in the medicine pool, his body gradually becoming strong and powerful under the nourishment of the medicine.
Breathing also becomes steady and long.
"Success."
Feng Wan, who had always looked indifferent, smiled faintly for the first time.
