C8 The Antidote

"Gu Feng?" Lin Chuan asked. Xia Ruoxue nodded.

Lin Chuan wasn't surprised. Gu Feng was a level two alchemist of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, and he often interacted with his master. They both often discussed alchemy together. Lin Chuan had met him a few times before, and he had a good impression of him.

"If that's the case, it'll be a lot easier. We don't have much time, let's go find him now."

Lin Chuan left immediately after saying that. He didn't want to waste anymore time, because he knew very well that the longer he delayed, the greater the danger his master faced.

The Second Elder did not get along well with his master. Since his master was now confined, the Second Elder could even take advantage of the situation to put him down. He was capable of sending someone to assassinate him!

The Pill Pavilion was within the inner sect. Without an invitation, an external disciple naturally wouldn't be allowed access into the internal sect. However, Xia Ruoxue was not an ordinary disciple, and the disciples on guard at the entrance didn't dare to deliberately give her a hard time. They just had to allow Lin Chuan follow her in.

Along the way, many people glanced at Lin Chuan from time to time. They secretly laughed in their hearts. After all, his last performance in the sect was quite spectacular. It was difficult for the other disciples not to recognize him!

Lin Chuan refused to pay too much attention to their gazes. An hour later, the two of them arrived at the Pill Pavilion.

"Elder Gu is there."

They walked into the Pill Pavilion.

Xia Ruoxue immediately saw Gu Feng standing behind the counter in front of her. Gu Feng also saw her and noticed Lin Chuan beside her. His expression quickly changed slightly.

Lin Chuan did not really regard it. He was there with Xia Ruoxue to see Gu Feng so he went ahead and stated his intentions. However, Gu Feng's expression was not welcoming. After a while, he finally spoke, "Fourth Elder's matter is not my concern. I don't have any information for you."

"Ruoxue, did you give him a pass to enter the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain secret realm?" Gu Feng looked at Lin Chuan asked Xia Ruoxue.

Xia Ruoxue's beautiful eyes slightly widened. "How did you know?"

"Second Elder told me that you and Lin Chuan have a good relationship, so you will definitely give him a pass. Second Elder has already instructed me to forbid him from entering the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain's secret realm. " Gu Feng did not give Xia Ruoxue a second look.

Lin Chuan's expression was calm. His mind was not disturbed by Gu Feng's words. He carefully observed Gu Feng. For some reason, he felt that there was something wrong with Gu Feng today.

Xia Ruoxue, who was standing beside him, immediately became angry when she heard Gu Feng's words. The Ten Thousand Beast Mountain secret realm quota was under her jurisdiction. No one was allowed to meddle!

However, Gu Feng was ready for her reaction. He took out a golden token and handed it to Xia Ruoxue. Xia Ruoxue did not reach out to take it, but she looked and saw the word "Yue" on the token at a glance.

That was the Second Elder Yue Feng's token.

"Second Elder said that the sect has issued a new order. On the day the secret realm opens, I will be in charge of guiding the team into Ten Thousand Beast Mountain's secret realm. In order to ensure that you won't drag the team down, I will have to eliminate any chances of putting them in harm's way. Lin Chuan's cultivation is too low, and he doesn't even have the ability to save himself in the face of danger."

"So, he can't enter the secret realm."

Xia Ruoxue's countenance immediately turned ugly. "Since your mind is made up already then, let's go meet the Second Elder together."

"No." Lin Chuan suddenly smiled and waved his hand. "If I'm not wrong, You've been taking the Seven Mysteries Suppressing Pill for almost a month, haven't you? During this time, did you feel the aura of you Indwelling Beast becoming weaker and weaker?"

Gu Feng's expression suddenly changed. "How did you know that?"

Fortunately, there were only the three of them in the Pill Pavilion at that moment. Otherwise, everyone would have been surprised at the sudden change in Gu Feng's expression.

Lin Chuan had read his mind.

Looking at Gu Feng, Lin Chuan helplessly shook his head. "You are really miserable. While being used by the Second Elder, you also have to endure his oppressions. This isn't the kind of life you want, is it?"

"What do you know?"

Gu Feng lowered his voice and asked the question hoarsely. Even Xia Ruoxue wondered why Gu Feng suddenly sounded so perturbed.

"Let's go somewhere else to talk. Someone could come in here..."

Lin Chuan looked at Gu Feng with understanding. Gu Feng looked around and to make sure no one was observing. He then led the two of them into an inner chamber of the Pill Pavilion. Without his permission, no one else could enter there.

"Speak." Gu Feng frowned.

"After my master was grounded, the Second Elder must have come to look for you. He wanted you to work with him and in turn he will allow your disciples into the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain. Whereas, his true intentions was for you to secretly help Qin Xuan. However, the condition was that you had to take the Seven Mysteries Suppressing Pill that he gave you, right?" Lin Chuan said.

Gu Feng laughed bitterly, "We don't work together. If I don't agree to his request, I'm afraid that I will end up like the Fourth Elder. The Second Elder is very powerful. No one would dare go against him"

Obviously, Gu Feng was unwillingly helping the second elder and it was all as Lin Chuan had expected.

He possessed the origin bloodline of all things, so he had a higher sensation of people's aura. The moment he saw Gu Feng, he quickly perceived that something was wrong. Gu Feng's healing aura was too weak. Although he tried his best to conceal it, Lin Chuan still detect it.

With that, Lin Chuan deduced that it could the be the effect of a level three medicinal pill - the Seven Profound Spirit Subduing Pill. It could suppress the spiritual energy in a martial artist's body for a long time, but Lin Chuan's Origin Bloodline reacted strangely. Hence, Lin Chuan could tell that the Seven Profound Spirit Subduing Pill was definitely mixed with a deadly poison that could cause harm to a martial artist.

So, he boldly made those speculations. Fortunately, his guess was right.

"Can you summon your innate demonic beast for me to take a look?" Lin Chuan ask.

"Sure." Gu Feng waved his hand and a green light flashed illuminated the surrounding. A giant eagle covered in green light appeared. It was Gu Feng's innate demon beast, the Green Spirit Eagle.

However, the current Green Spirit Eagle was no longer as healthy as it used to be. Its eyes were dim, and the aura it gave off was weak. Black spots were floating on its back. Those black spots gathered together and turned into a black hand seal that roughly pressed on the back of the Green Spirit Eagle.

Lin Chuan stared at the black spots on the back of the Green Spirit Eagle for a long time and was lost in deep thought. Gu Feng sighed helplessly, "Those black spots are formed by poison. They are extremely poisonous. Not only can they suppress the spiritual energy in the natal beast's body but they can also slowly absorb the innate beast's life force until it dies."

"Second Elder said that when the access period of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain secret realm is over, he will give me the antidote."

"I also tried to refine pills that could cure the Green Spirit Eagle, but in the end, I failed terribly."

"Yue Feng is evil!" Xia Ruoxue clenched her fists tightly. She originally thought that Yue Feng had a limit to the terrible things he could do, but it was obvious that she thought so highly of him.

However, right then, Lin Chuan's face beamed with a smile. "If I can heal the Green Spirit Eagle, will you grant me one wish?"

On hearing this, Xia Ruoxue and Gu Feng's faces revealed a look of surprise. Gu Feng had tried for a month but still couldn't cure the Green Spirit Eagle so, how could Lin Chuan taka short time to come up with a method to detoxify the poison?

"If you can detoxify the Green Spirit Eagle, I'll grant you any wish." Gu Feng said clearly.

Yue Feng was too cruel. If Lin Chuan hadn't brought up the issue, he may not have noticed that his innate beast was about to die!

Lin Chuan looked at Gu Feng and said, "If I detoxify the Green Spirit Eagle, can you help me save my master from his punishment?"

A slight look of embarrassment rose on Gu Feng's face when he heard this. He had a very good relationship with the Fourth Elder, so he naturally would have taken care of the matter out of his own will if he could. However he was worried that even if he did his best his efforts would be wasted, so it was of no use even trying

"I can allow you use your slot to enter Ten Thousand Beast Mountain's mystery realm. After you enter Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, If you perform well, then you may have the chance to enter the inner court. Then, you can use that as an opportunity to plead on behalf of Fourth Elder. The question of how successful you will be on the journey into the mystery realm, totally depends on you."

That was the most Gu Feng could do. Lin Chuan knew that Gu Feng was sincere with his help, so he didn't ask for anything else and simply accepted.

Then, with a thought, the spiritual seal on the back of his hand shimmered. His Indwelling Beast, Tricolor Dao Mosquito appeared and flew into his palm.

"It's time for you to become stronger."

Lin Chuan smiled, and the Tricolor Dao Mosquito flew to the back of the Green Spirit Eagle in an instant. The Green Spirit Eagle did not have much strength to resist. Even if it was beinng attacked by other demon beasts at that time, it could only weakly flap its wings to resist, it was as if it could die of exhaustion at any time.

The Tricolor Dao Mosquito's mouth was close to the part where the feathers were lighter on the back of the Green Spirit Eagle. Then, it opened its mouth and bit it. Surprisingly, it started to absorb the blood of the Green Spirit Eagle.

The Green Spirit Eagle felt a sharp pain on its back. It let out a long wail.

Gu Feng and Xia Ruoxue wwatched it, and a hint of pity flashed across their faces.

"Don't worry, I've have come across the Ghost Poison Spot while I was studying with my master. Although the symptoms of this poison appear on the body of the demon beast, the poison itself is in the blood of the demon beast. As long as the poison is sucked out from the blood, the beast would naturally be cured of the poison." Lin Chuan explained.

Xia Ruoxue was shocked by that explanation. "You are letting your Indwelling Beast suck the poison, aren't you worried that it will become poisoned by the Ghost Poison Spot? In that case, even if you save the Green Spirit eagle, it won't be worth it."

Gu Feng also began to dissuade Lin Chuan. "I acknowledge that you have good intentions. I'll assist you with Fourth Elder's matter anyways, let's just forget about detoxifying the poison. I will find another means to cure my beast."

Seeing Lin Chuan's action, Gu Feng saw his sincerity and agreed to help him deal with the Fourth Elder's matter. However, Lin Chuan did not have any intention of stopping. He raised his hand and pointed at the Green Spirit Eagle and the Tricolor Dao Mosquito. He smiled and said: "Can't you see, the poison is slowly fading away? Moreover, my Dao Mosquito isn't showing any signs of being poisoned."

Gu Feng and Xia Ruoxue looked to observe what he was saying. If Lin Chuan's Indwelling demon beast was poisoned, Lin Chuan himself would definitely be affected. Furthermore, there was no way that the mosquito couldn't have shown any symptoms yet if it was really affected by the poison!

It was all pointing to the fact that Lin Chuan's Dao Mosquito could indeed cure the Green Spirit Eagle!

Of course, Gu Feng and Xia Ruoxue did not understand how that could be possible, but Lin Chuan was well aware.

He possessed the origin bloodline of all things, and the blood flowing through his body had the ability to transform the physical form of an Indwelling Demon Beast. It was relatively easy to detoxify some weak poison.

The Ghost Spot Poison seemed to be extremely toxic, but it could only have effective on some first or second tier innate beasts. The Tricolor Dao Mosquito had inherited the origin bloodline of all things and became extremely tough, so it was quite easy to detoxify the poison!
