Xu Mu gritted his teeth, looking at Jiang Sheng with a hint of disappointment, as if he were disappointed that he couldn't live up to expectations.
Because of his carelessness, all his efforts were almost in vain. Now, Zhu Yuerong's life was also coming to an end!
"This... I was too anxious and seem to have forgotten." Jiang Sheng swayed, his head constantly turning. He knelt on the ground in a daze, weeping and began to slap himself.
"I'm not human, I'm not human! I've killed my own mother. I'm sorry, I'm sorry to you all!!!"
Jiang Sheng knelt on the ground, continuously slapping his own cheeks with all his might. Qian Qian stood by silently.
Jiang Li's expression was also mournful. He should not have entrusted this matter to Jiang Sheng. Although he loved his mother, his inherent carelessness had finally caused a great disaster.
Perhaps after this incident, he would grow, but the price was too great.
Gongsun Jingming watched all this, his emotions becoming more complex. It turned out that Xu Mu had indeed succeeded, but it was due to the mistakes of others that led to all this.
"You are indeed a genius. I, Gongsun Jingming, am ashamed of myself," Gongsun Jingming sighed, then turned his head, unwilling to look at Zhu Yuerong on the sickbed any longer.
Her screams were too tragic, her appearance too miserable. As a physician, he could not bear to witness all this.
"She can still be saved. Qian Qian, quickly bring me the remaining hundred-year-old snow lotus from my room. Gongsun Jingming, help me suppress Zhu Yuerong with your special ability. Jiang Li, go find me a basin, the bigger the better!"
Xu Mu said, taking out a roll of silver needles from his spatial ring, spreading them out, and then holding them between his fingers, injecting his special ability and Dao origin.
At the same time, Qian Qian had already rushed out of the room and was fetching the hundred-year-old snow lotus as Xu Mu requested. Jiang Li reacted a beat slower. Although he didn't understand why a basin was needed, he quickly grabbed a bronze basin used for washing.
Only Gongsun Jingming did not follow Xu Mu's instructions.
"What are you trying to do? She can't live anymore. If you don't stay away, the energy that erupts from her will injure you."
"Are you going to help or not? If not, I'll do it myself!" Xu Mu glared at the old man, then used all his special ability to try to suppress Zhu Yuerong's constantly tossing body. However, her strength was also at the third stage, and she was in a state of frenzy, making it difficult to completely restrain her.
"Fine, I'll listen to you one last time." Just as Xu Mu held the silver needles but didn't know where to begin, Gongsun Jingming finally made a move. He unfolded his domain and, with his extremely powerful domain master's strength, forcefully suppressed Zhu Yuerong so that not even a strand of her hair could move.
Seeing this, Xu Mu said nothing more and immediately began to perform the formations taught to him by Charles, inserting them into the Zhongshu, Xiaohai, Shentang, Xinyu, and Tianlou acupoints.
Ch...
The Innate Eight Trigrams were activated, with the characters Dui and Kan imprinted on the palms of his left and right hands respectively. Xu Mu urged his Dao origin, combined with his special ability, to inject the cold elemental energy into Zhu Yuerong's body, and then, with extreme control, began to contend with the rampant elemental energy.
Xu Mu's expression was solemn, as the intensity of the confrontation caused white mist to rise around him. Although Zhu Yuerong's condition had eased, this was only a temporary measure and could not cure the root cause.
"The snow lotus is here!"
Just as Xu Mu was exerting all his strength, using the ancient formations of Blue Star and the Innate Eight Trigrams to dissolve the violent energy within Zhu Yuerong's body, Qian Qian, who had left the room to fetch the hundred-year-old snow lotus, finally returned.
Xu Mu didn't even look at him. He took the snow lotus with one hand, while controlling the silver needles with the other, continuously inserting and changing them at Zhu Yuerong's acupoints. With his other hand, he instantly shattered the hundred-year-old snow lotus, extracting the purest Yin and Ice elemental energy contained within it as if peeling away layers of silk, and then directly injected it into the medicinal broth.
"This won't work," Gongsun Jingming, although surprised by Xu Mu's multitasking, still didn't believe he could succeed in reversing the situation.
Although the medicinal broth lacked the coldness, it couldn't be solved by directly injecting coldness. It still needed to be re-refined.
Xu Mu's expression was solemn. He ignored Gongsun Jingming's words, and the character in his right palm turned to Li. Instantly, a ball of intense flame erupted from his hand, burning the bronze medicinal pot.
His special ability and Dao origin, accompanied by the fierce flames, slowly dissolved the extreme cold extracted from the snow lotus, and then mixed it with the medicinal broth.
Gongsun Jingming, seeing all this, was utterly shocked because Xu Mu was actually refining medicine.
He was simultaneously controlling the strange acupuncture technique, using his special ability to counteract the chaos within Zhu Yuerong's body, and using intense flames for secondary refinement?
Regardless of whether it would succeed, the sheer insanity of this method was something Gongsun Jingming had never encountered in his entire life!
"To refine medicine in this way, to resolve the conflict of medicinal properties, requires the alchemist to possess an unimaginable level of precision in controlling their special ability and the heat. Furthermore, the lack of a proper alchemical furnace and the fact that new medicine is being refined with old medicine have increased the difficulty by severalfold!" Gongsun Jingming stared intently at Xu Mu's actions, his eyes filled with shock.
The medicinal pot in his hands moved with perfect timing in every twist and turn. He could sense the situation within, where the fire was strong and where it was weak, where the medicinal broth had merged with the coldness, and where the medicinal broth remained in its original state.
If this continued, it seemed the medicine might actually be refined! kuAiδugg
But how was this possible? Even the legendary alchemist, considered an ancestor in their Medicine King Valley, couldn't achieve such control.
This was because Xu Mu was not only refining medicine; his other hand was still inserting needles and constantly using his special ability to suppress the commotion. This required considerable effort. If he exerted too much force, Zhu Yuerong's fragile meridians would burst from the confrontation!
And if he didn't exert enough force, the rampant energy would kill Zhu Yuerong by overwhelming the suppression!
But now, Zhu Yuerong lay there so peacefully, unharmed!
This proved that Xu Mu had simultaneously controlled Zhu Yuerong's physical condition while refining medicine.
Either one of these feats alone could be considered the ultimate test for a master alchemist, with an uncertain outcome. Yet, Xu Mu was multitasking, doing both at the same time, and was about to complete it!
"This is impossible, this is impossible!" Seeing the flames in Xu Mu's hands disappear, seemingly indicating the end of the refining process, Gongsun Jingming became somewhat frantic and shouted.
"Even the sect leader and ancestor of our sect cannot achieve this level of control. How can you multitask and refine medicine?"
"Unless... the Nangong family..." Gongsun Jingming said, suddenly thinking of something, and then his voice faltered, "Mastery of the Great Dao, I understand. You are a disciple of that person from the Nangong family!"
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is, Hahahaha, I lost fairly, not unfairly!"
Gongsun Jingming muttered to himself erratically, alternating between laughter and sorrow, making those around him a little uneasy.
Xu Mu had no time to pay him any mind, as Gongsun Jingming had withdrawn his domain, and he had to suppress Zhu Yuerong alone.
"Someone, help me feed her the medicine!"
