116 Chapter 117 "A Faint Hope"

10 years....that would be a very short life....especially when compared to the life span of a mythological beast.

"Wait wait don't give up yet!! Jiu Wei said that if we could detoxify the poison, Li Shi Ying could live like a normal person!" Long Ao Zhen cast away his negative thought far far away.

"So...what should we do to prolong her life?" Long Ao Zhen clenched his fist when he finally asked this crucial question. There must be a way to safe Li Shi Ying right? Even if it would be a hard thing to do, he as her 'brother' would do anything to safe her life!

Jiu Wei sighed as he nodded his head weakly. Then he started to say whatever they need to prolong Li Shi Ying life.

First of all they need the medicine recipe to strengthen body, after that they need to find a way to detoxify the poison. Jiu Wei actually had already knew how to detoxify the poison but it require a lot of rare and precious herbs!

"What? Medicine recipe to strengthen body? I just buy it from auction today" Long Ao Zhen casually took out the translated script he had and showed it to Jiu Wei.

Jiu Wei: .....

"So the script we auctioned is actually the recipe i need???" Jiu Wei screamed in his heart as he read the recipe. The ingredients weren't that rare so he could start making it tomorrow.

Long Ao Zhen was actually surprised as well that it would be such a coincidence that the script he got turned out to be one of many things that could prolong his 'little sister' life.

"Alright we had secured the medicine. Now...we need herbs to detoxify the poison" Jiu Wei folded the script and tossed it to Mao Mao spatial space. They had got the medicine recipe so they can ensure Li Shi Ying life for at least another 10 years.

"You know what kind of herbs we need?" Long Ao Zhen anger had already disappear as they were too serious with the discussion. Now all he thought was how to detoxify the poison inside Li Shi Ying body and save her life!

Jiu Wei nodded his head and began to explain what kinds of herb they needed to gather.

They would need 10 super rare herbs which were all scattered around the lower realm to fully detoxify this poison.

6 herbs could be found in Sui He continent, 1 herb in the desert continent, 2 herbs in Zui Qiang continent (the biggest continent) and the last one is in spiritual continent.

"That....would require a long period of time traveling around the lower realm, no?" Long Ao Zhen frowned when he finished listening to Jiu Wei explanation.

"Yes" Jiu Wei nodded his head in agreement. That would indeed took some time to gather all the herbs.

"Couldn't we just dispatch my shadow guard to collect all of it?" Long Ao Zhen threw a suggestion to Jiu Wei. Afterall it would be a pain in ass if they need to go traveling around the lower realm.

The reason why this rare slow-acting poison is very frightening is because the way to detoxify it would be too much for the victim!

The victim need to eat the herb one by one slowly until the poison disappear but mostly the victim of this poison didn't live long enough to eat all the required herb!

All the herbs are the kind that if you don't eat it right away after you plucked it, the herb will withered in a minute.

That's why the victim need to go to the herb location as well! Such things is way too difficult for the victim who had a weak body because of the poison.

Moreover, the victim would usually die only after eating 3 or 4 herbs needed to detoxify the poison. The herb needed to fully detoxify this poison is hard to find and usually it takes time over than 5 years or so.

This poison really did made people hope and then crushed it all at once.

This was why the poison is called 'Hope Destroyer'.

Long Ao Zhen knitted his eyebrow again while listening to Jiu Wei explanation. So...in the end Li Shi Ying still needed to go over to collect the herb by herself?

"But your highness, other victim of this poison doesn't have the medicine recipe to strengthen their bodies so they all die in 5 years at max. As for us, it is lucky that we have this recipe so Li Shi Ying will for sure live for 10 years at max! This way we still have hope to collect all the herbs needed" Jiu Wei eyes sparkled with hope as he tried to convince Long Ao Zhen.

Even if Li Shi Ying life in the future couldn't be separated from drinking medicine, it would be so much better than other victim of 'Hope Destroyer' poison!

Long Ao Zhen gloomy face slowly change with Jiu Wei word. So..there's still hope for Li Shi Ying afterall!
