Chapter 2009 468: Reviving Lei Ming
At this moment, Lei Ming's entire body had turned black, and he was in a sickly state, seemingly beyond salvation.
Lin Yifan's heart tightened, and he approached to inquire, "Little brother Lei, what's going on? How did you end up like this?"
"Elder brother Lin, I... I feel terrible."
Lei Ming answered in extreme pain, his whole being teetering on the brink of death.
Lin Yifan immediately took his pulse, only to find that the poison had completely invaded Lei Ming's internal organs; within another day, or even a few hours, Lei Ming might not make it.
This situation was unexpected to him, so he questioned with a bit of blame, "Did you not take the elixir on time?"
He believed that Lei Ming had not followed his advice to take the elixir on time, leading to this outcome.
"I took it on time, but it seems the effect of the elixir is getting weaker over time," Lei Ming replied.
Lin Yifan thought that perhaps the poison had increased, or the poison had developed antibodies, or perhaps the poison had mutated, and the Hundred-Cures Pill could no longer suppress it.
No matter the situation, the only thing to do now was to let Lei Ming take a few Hundred-Cures Pills to suppress the spread of the poison as much as possible; then immediately refine the antidote.
Refining elixirs in the Spirit Beast Cave risked being discovered by the highest academy's members and elders of Weiji Country; so he could only enter the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring to refine the antidote.
But to enter the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring, he first had to render Lei Ming unconscious, because he couldn't let anyone know about this life-saving technique.
So while giving Lei Ming the Hundred-Cures Pill, he mixed in a Dizzying Pill.
Soon after, Lei Ming fainted and was temporarily in peaceful sleep.
No time to lose, Lin Yifan immediately entered the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring, then gathered all the materials needed for the antidote to the Poisonous Manflower's poison, and approached the Pill Furnace to focus on crafting the antidote.
Since this type of elixir was being refined for the first time, he wasn't very confident about crafting a perfect antidote; so he used a bit more material, striving to make several antidotes to completely eradicate the poison from Lei Ming's body in one go.
Carefully and methodically proceeding, after more than an hour, he finally crafted the antidote without incident.
Although the antidote to the Poisonous Manflower's poison was at the fourth level, first rank Immortal Elixir grade, with his alchemy skills, he was already capable of crafting elixirs of this caliber.
It was precisely because of this that he was confident in saving Lei Ming.
The antidote had been crafted, a total of five pills; though their perfection wasn't high, he believed they should be able to remove the poison from Lei Ming's body.
He quickly exited the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring, then gave Lei Ming the five antidote pills along with a Resuscitation Pill.
Shortly after taking the antidote, the completely black Lei Ming gradually regained his yellowed flesh; his near-death state transformed into youthful vitality.
Lin Yifan was elated, and he finally could release the heavy stone hanging in his heart.
Ten minutes later, Lei Ming awoke.
When he saw big brother Lin in front of him, he was so moved he shed tears.
While he was unconscious just now, he thought he had died; that feeling was terrifying, and he tried desperately to call out to elder brother Lin, but he couldn't make a sound.
"Brother Lin, is this a dream? We're not in Hell, right?"
"Are you trying to curse me into Hell to accompany you? That's wicked, isn't it?" Lin Yifan asked, somewhat annoyed.
"No, I just felt so hopeless earlier, thinking everything I saw was an illusion," Lei Ming explained.
"You're fine now, don't think too much."
"I'm fine?"
Lei Ming suddenly awoke and hurriedly checked his body, even taking out a mirror to look at his current appearance.
Seeing no trace of black, he finally believed he was healthy.
"Brother Lin, how did you do it? Did you refine the antidote?"
"Of course, without refining the antidote, how could I save you?"
"When did this happen? It didn't seem like that long," Lei Ming asked, somewhat surprised.
"Just during the time you were unconscious."
"Wow, brother Lin, you're amazing! Not only are your martial arts and array skills strong, but your alchemy ability is also impressive."
"I'm the jack of all trades; just remember that from now on."
"I will remember it for the rest of my life."
This grace, Lei Ming would never forget; when he had the ability to repay one day, he would do his utmost to return it.
...
Amidst their chatting, there was a sudden commotion outside.
"Quick! Search thoroughly for the Princess!"
Lei Ming was puzzled; he didn't know why there were people here or for whom they were searching.
Judging by the footsteps, they were about twenty meters away, and the range was quite wide.
Lin Yifan felt they couldn't sit there waiting for something to happen, so he quickly set up an Earth Escape Technique Array.
Seeing this, Lei Ming quietly asked, "Brother Lin, are these people coming for you?"
"Of course, who else could they be after but the two of us?" Lin Yifan retorted irritably.
"Right!"
Lei Ming almost forgot this point.
It's fortunate that big brother Lin foresaw this; someone as slow-witted as him would find it hard to survive in a place laden with danger.
As soon as the Earth Escape Technique was set up, the disciples of the highest academy of Weiji Country noticed something was amiss with this area.
They swiftly approached, immediately clearing away the weeds covering the Spirit Beast Cave, only to find a glimmer of light.
"They're here!"
The disciples shouted around, gathering everyone over.
The Princess of Weiji Country urgently rushed over.
When she arrived before the Spirit Beast Cave, she found it empty, without a single figure, which made her furious, "Are you trying to mock the Princess?"
"No, Princess, we just saw a glimmer of light, which might mean those two brats used a secret technique to escape, and this cave has signs of disguise; I can be very certain they were here," the academy disciple responded.
The Princess of Weiji Country inspected the area and, indeed, found signs that it had been tampered with; additionally, there were traces of someone sleeping and moving around.
Most directly, inside the cave, she discovered two different sets of footprints, presumably belonging to those two intruding brats.
The fact that those two brats vanished into thin air here was something she truly couldn't fathom.
This matter could only be explained if the academy elder stepped in.
So she immediately summoned someone to bring the academy elder to explain the situation.
Upon learning that someone could vanish in plain sight, the elder of Weiji Country's highest academy was amazed yet deeply puzzled.
Because in their impression, there seemed to be no such magical secret technique.
"Could it be that they're using a secret technique from a higher-dimensional world?" an elder proposed this line of thinking.
Only then did it make sense.
"How could the World of All Things have Cultivators from higher-dimensional worlds? Don't try to fool us."
The Princess of Weiji Country refused to believe this speculation.
