This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 878 - 678: You Taoist Sect Really Owe Me!
Deep within the Medicine Valley, in an alchemy room forbidden to outsiders, the diminutive Gu Sheng, still only the size of a palm, solemnly watched the fiercely burning pill furnace, casually picking up a rare spirit grass floating above his head.
A wisp of flame rose, melting in an instant what was once a stubborn stone exterior, turning it into a mass of emerald green fragrant liquid.
"Qiao'er, crush half a Floating Cloud Heavenly Spirit Flower into residues and mix with Tianshan cold spring water, then pour it into the pill furnace after half an incense stick's time!"
Gu Sheng solidified the previously melted spirit grass liquid into a pill, tossed it into the pill furnace, and without turning back, instructed Ji Ningqiao behind him.
"Yes, Master!"
At this moment, Ji Ningqiao, no longer displaying her shy and timid demeanor in front of outsiders, moved her hands swiftly, maintaining a serious and focused expression, continuously melting and mixing various spirit grasses and celestial materials in specific ratios.
In war, the presence of elixirs is one of the most important reasons for reducing casualties, and the principle of Medicine Valley is precisely "to save the dying and heal the injured, to research the Alchemy Dao," allowing spirit pills to perform their original function on the battlefield is enough to comfort them.
However, as cultivators' realm and strength increase, many low-level elixirs cannot function well on powerful cultivators, especially for cultivators like Chen Hua and Liang Yi; ordinary elixirs are merely a taste to them.
Though they still contain medicine power, it is indeed pathetically weak, incapable of reversing desperate situations or bringing back the dead to life.
Thus, to produce elixirs that can aid in healing cultivators of Chen Hua and Liang Yi's caliber, only Gu Sheng and the top alchemists of Medicine Valley can craft them, while others make those for cultivators of different levels.
"Master, the Tianshan cold spring water is running low, have the senior brothers send another pot over!"
Ji Ningqiao shook the jade gourd in her hand and suddenly looked up at her master's back.
"Is it used up already?" Gu Sheng was taken aback. Recently, so many elixirs needed crafting, he didn't realize even the Tianshan cold spring water was used up, and perhaps other materials were also nearly depleted?
"Okay, just set it aside, I will have..."
Gu Sheng nodded to Ji Ningqiao, indicating his understanding, but before he could finish his sentence, an extremely fierce Sword Intent descended from the sky, startling countless birds into flight.
In Medicine Valley, whether it was the valley's own cultivators or those who came for healing or seeking elixirs, they raised their heads, faces aghast, watching the increasingly close and domineering sword light in the sky.
Medicine Valley, as a special first-class force, naturally equipped its sect with top-notch defensive measures, with no weaklings among the recruited or hired cultivators, none below the Ninth Realm.
However, even so, when those guarding the valley tried to intercept the approaching sword light, they were unceremoniously knocked out of the way, one by one.
Though there was no threat to their lives, it was purely due to restraint on the intruder's part.
The celestial sword light ignored these people, making its way directly toward the depths of Medicine Valley where Gu Sheng was located.
As the higher-ups of Medicine Valley contemplated whether to activate their protective arrays, they finally identified the reckless intruder.
Su Youyi from the Taoist Sect!
Boom——
The alchemy room, covered by countless arrays, instantly collapsed, the formation shattering into oblivion in the blink of an eye.
On that day, Gu Sheng finally recalled the fear dominated by the Taoist Sect...
"This is..."
Ji Ningqiao stood aghast behind the dust-covered Gu Sheng, stunned as she looked at the figure descending from the sky. "Junior Sister Su!?"
"Senior Gu, I'm sorry, but the matter is urgent, please save my senior brother!" Su Youyi, face anxious, staggered forward holding someone, pleading with Gu Sheng.
She knew full well how inappropriate her actions were, but she had no other choice, only rushing to Medicine Valley at the fastest speed.
"It's Liang Yi!?"
Seeing the person in Su Youyi's arms, Gu Sheng's expression changed abruptly, too urgent to care about anything else, he approached Liang Yi gravely, closing his eyes to assess Liang Yi's current status.
"Inform others, without my permission, no one is allowed to come in!" Gu Sheng hurriedly turned to instruct Ji Ningqiao, then disappeared with Liang Yi and Su Youyi.
He needed a quiet place to heal Liang Yi, his condition couldn't endure any delay.
"Yes!"
Ji Ningqiao bowed her head in response, then turned to leave, stopping other rushing cultivators who wanted to investigate the situation.
She too had seen Liang Yi's state just now; at her current level, she could see how dire Liang Yi's situation was, his vitality as fragile as a candle in the wind, extremely weak.
In a wooden hut within the Herb Garden deep in Medicine Valley, where Gu Sheng cultivated various celestial materials and spirit medicines, and with the alchemy room blown up, he could only bring Liang Yi here first.
"How did it come to this? Does Chen Hua know?" As he continued his work nonstop, Gu Sheng urgently asked.
"I don't know... after coming out of the Abyss Gate, Senior Brother was already like this. I couldn't inform Master in time, so I directly brought Senior Brother here." Su Youyi forced herself to calm down, recounting the previous events one by one.
"Penglai Immortal Cicada? This kid's fortune is downright defying the heavens, encountering such a divine artifact that has been extinct for two epochs." Gu Sheng's gaze shifted, landing on the two Jade Cicadas continually circling Liang Yi, whose emitted radiance was using absolute Power of Laws to temporarily halt Liang Yi's injuries.
