355 Hidden Danger
Yao Tianchen’s words sent a chill down Ye Xuan’s spine. He had always thought that the heart wouldn’t be able to do anything under his suppression. After all, he had absorbed most of the energy.
But now, he was told that there was still a possibility that it might come back. If he waited until that day and was caught off guard, how would Ye Xuan deal with it?
Seeing Ye Xuan’s ugly expression, Yao Tianchen consoled, “Junior Ye, don’t worry. This is just my guess. In fact, the probability of this happening is still relatively small.”
Yao Tianchen’s words rang an alarm bell for Ye Xuan. He hadn’t forgotten who the owner of this heart was. It was a figure from a thousand years ago, the one who had plotted the Penglai Immortal Beasts and the altar incidents.
Perhaps in a place unknown to Ye Xuan, there would also be a figure like the high priest. Once he appeared, he would surely set off a storm of blood in the world. Even his claws would be so powerful, let alone the person himself.
Such an enemy was truly terrifying, and Ye Xuan did not dare to underestimate this heart. It was just that the silence previously had made him subconsciously blur the existence of this heart, but he did not think that it could also be used to numb himself.
“I’ll make a dose of medicine first. Junior Ye, drink it first and stay in the valley for the time being. If anything unexpected happens, it’ll be easier for me to deal with it.”
Ye Xuan nodded in agreement, “Then I’ll have to trouble you for the next few days, Valley Master.”
Yao Tianchen was very concerned about Ye Xuan. Besides his relationship with He Jiantian and Mo Jianming, he was also very interested in this kind of difficult and complicated illness. It was rare to have a living example like Ye Xuan in front of him.
The brown soup was extremely thick and gave off an indescribable smell. It was still bubbling. If it wasn’t for the fact that Ye Xuan was sure that Yao Tianchen had no hostility towards him, he would have thought that Yao Tianchen was trying to harm him with a bowl of poison.
Seeing Ye Xuan’s hesitant expression, Yao Tianchen smiled awkwardly.
“Don’t judge it by its appearance. I’ve added a lot of precious medicinal herbs to it. Drink it three times a day for a few days in a row, then I’ll come back to check your pulse.”
Ye Xuan’s expression suddenly became indescribable.
According to Yao Tianchen, this medicinal soup could stimulate the heart so that he could observe it better. Ye Xuan had no choice but to pinch his nose and drink it all in one gulp. His mouth felt as bitter as if he had eaten an entire yellow lotus.
If it wasn’t for his strong self-control, he might have vomited it out on the spot. The taste of the medicine was almost as bad as it looked. It was simply hard to swallow. Ye Xuan had never tasted something so awful in his life.
When A’tian walked in, the pungent smell of the medicine had not yet dissipated. It was so bitter that his entire face was wrinkled. He had taken half a step into the threshold but quickly retracted his foot.
“What’s that smell? It’s so smelly.”
A’tian pinched his nose. He glanced at the bowl on the table from the corner of his eye. There was still some residue in it. He turned pale with fright. “Young Master, you’re injured!”
He wanted to go over and check on Ye Xuan’s condition, but the closer he got, the stronger the smell became. A’tian stood a few meters away from Ye Xuan with a bitter face.
“I’m fine, don’t worry about me.”
“This is obviously the medicine that the valley master has made for you.”
A hearty male voice came from behind A’tian. Li Mao had come to visit Ye Xuan and happened to see this scene.
Everyone in the Valley of Medicine Masters knew that even though Yao Tianchen’s medical and alchemy skills were superb, the taste of the things he refined was hard to swallow.
It would be fine if it was a medicinal pill, but if it was a medicinal soup, it was simply too horrible to drink.
“I didn’t expect Brother Ye to be here to seek medical treatment. Don’t worry, Valley Master’s medical skills are superb. He can definitely treat you.”
Ye Xuan’s condition was special, and Yao Tianchen didn’t disclose his symptoms, so everyone just thought that Ye Xuan was looking for a doctor to treat a normal illness.
“Fellow Daoist Ye, this is your first time coming to our Valley of Medicine Masters. It just so happens that Brother A’tian is also here, so I’ll show both of you around.”
The Valley of Medicine Masters was still quite large, but he didn’t see many disciples.
“I don’t see many other disciples,” said A’tian as he scratched his head.
“Most of the disciples are either in the herb garden, in the alchemy room, or out in search of spiritual herbs.”
“I see.”
The Valley of Medicine Masters was so big, and it would take at least half a day to walk through all of it. Apart from Jade City, A’tian had never been to such a place before. He looked around and felt that his eyes could not take in everything.
“This place is like a fairyland. I’ve never been to such a beautiful place.”
The surroundings were filled with all sorts of exotic flowers and plants, as well as some unknown plants. A’tian carefully said, “These should all be spiritual plants. They must be worth a lot of money.”
There was an indescribable smell in the wind, which seemed to be emitted from these plants.
Although A’tian had never seen it before, he had heard that a good spiritual plant cost tens of thousands of spirit stones. He had never seen so much money in his life.
A smile appeared at the corner of Li Mao’s mouth. He didn’t laugh at A’tian’s shallow knowledge but instead explained patiently.
“This is nothing, in our Valley of Medicine Masters, you can see it everywhere, just like those little wildflowers and grass outside.”
A’tian couldn’t help but click his tongue.
Seeing that he seemed to be interested, Li Mao continued, “Those precious spiritual plants are all grown in the herb garden, but ordinary people can’t enter the herb garden. Otherwise, I could take you in for a walk.”
A’tian waved his hand in embarrassment, “Hai, I’m just asking. I don’t mean anything else.”
Li Mao seemed to have thought of something. He said, “The serene orchid silver grass that we picked last time has also been transplanted into the herb garden. It has already successfully survived. The herb garden elders said that it will mature next month.”
