Chapter 328: Cure Water Illusion Nether Dream

Lou Mu Yan used the green mist in her dan’tian every day to guide her Spiritual Energy to dredge the meridians that had been inactive for a long time for Si Nan’s Concubine Mother.

As soon as she finished her work and sat down that day, Si Nan walked in with a man in a crimson robe.

“Mu Yan, this is Lou1 Qing, the Enshrined Chief Physician of the Imperial Family.” Si Nan introduced to Lou Mu Yan who was currently making tea as soon as he entered the door.

There was a hint of intimacy in his tone, and it could be seen that he had a good relationship with the Physician.

Lou Mu Yan raised her head with a faint smile and said: “Physician Lou, please take a seat.”

Then she continued to brew tea with movements like flowing water. With two more people opposite, she gave both of them a cup of fragrant tea.

“Good tea!” Lou Qing took a sip from the teacup and said leisurely.

Lou Mu Yan held the teacup in both hands, then raised her eyes to look at Lou Qing.

He appeared about thirty years old, handsome in appearance, and had a sense of elegance and grace all around. He should be a man who enjoyed life very much.

He didn’t restrain his aura, and his cultivation base was Initial-Phase Sword Sovereign, but Lou Mu Yan felt a possible aura of a Spirit Flame that seemed to exist in him. His strength was definitely much higher than that of his cultivation base.

“Mu Yan, how is Concubine Mother’s condition?” Si Nan asked eagerly.

“Your Concubine Mother’s body has been eroded by poison except for her heart veins. Now, I must first remove the poison in her blood veins, then release the Seal in her heart veins. She’ll then take the pill I refine, and she can restore her health as long as you nourish her a little longer. Except, after waking up, her body would probably not be as good as before.” Lou Mu Yan didn’t hide it.

Lou Qing’s calm eyes looked at Lou Mu Yan lightly, “I wonder how Young Miss Lou is going to remove the poison from the Imperial Concubine’s blood?”

“This, doesn’t Physician Lou know? Even if others can’t get rid of the poison, but I believe that Physician Lou can.” Lou Mu Yan looked at the calm man in front of him and said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

She caught Lou Qing’s gentle look when he was looking at the person on the bed as soon as he entered the door. Although he quickly curbed it, but it was a genuine expression—that of a strong love.

She guessed that such a high-level Alchemist with a Spirit Flame wouldn’t stay here if it wasn’t for love.

“What do you know?” Lou Qing narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Lou Mu Yan hooked her lips up and smiled: “Of course I know you have a Spirit Flame.”

Since Lou Qing had a Spirit Flame, then she could save a lot of trouble. With free labour, how could she not use it.

“Young Miss Lou really has good eyesight.” Lou Qing’s expression changed, then asked after pondering: “But why should I believe that you can solve the Water Illusion Nether Dream after removing the toxins from her whole body?”

As one of the Ten Wonder Poisons, the Water Illusion Nether Dream wasn’t like other poisons that could be detoxified by removing all the toxins in the body. Instead, it could only be detoxified by eliminating the root cause in the body by special methods.

Otherwise, even if the toxins in the body were removed, the venom would still spread all over the body’s meridians within a year.

It was a pity that the cures to the Tian’ling Continent’s Ten Wonder Poisons were all extinct, otherwise he wouldn’t have spent ten years and couldn’t completely detoxify the poison.

“No reason, but you can only trust me now.” Lou Mu Yan glanced at the stunning woman that was lying down, “If you don’t detoxify it, even if you seal her heart veins, she can only live three more months at most.”

“What?” Si Nan turned pale, turned to look at Lou Qing and asked: “Uncle Lou, is this true?”

It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Lou Mu Yan, but he didn’t dare accept this fact.

“Yes.” Lou Qing closed his eyes to hide the pain in his eyes, then replied with one word solemnly.

Si Nan clenched his hands, then released them, and asked Lou Mu Yan in a daze: “Mu Yan, please.”

Lou Mu Yan actually didn’t expect Si Nan, who usually appeared to have a poisonous mouth and a dark heart, to have such a pure filial heart. She nodded: “Don’t worry, as long as Great Master Lou cooperates well, I have more than eighty percent confidence that the poison will be cured.”

The Ten Wonder Poisons on this continent existed in the Immortal Cultivation World too, and even the names were similar. The cures here were extinct, however she happened to know the cure.

“Alright, this one Lou believes in Young Miss Lou. Order as you will for how I should cooperate.”  Lou Qing’s eyes deepened, and he made a decision.

In any case, he could only give it a shot. He had already investigated Lou Mu Yan’s details. Not only could she cure her own Terminal Meridians Constitution, but could also cure Ye Qing Le, who was carrying a foetal poison since she was born and wouldn’t live past the age of eighteen.

This alone showed that her medical skills were extraordinary.

Most importantly was that she actually discovered his Spirit Flame without him using Elemental Energy. Even a strong Sword Venerable powerhouse wouldn’t be able to have such sharp senses.

And he could only trust her. He couldn’t watch the woman he loved die. Let alone eighty percent of certainty, even if it wasn’t higher than half, he was still willing to try.

Lou Mu Yan nodded, then said to Si Nan: “Have you found the Spiritual Herbs I asked you to find?”

“I’ve found them.” With a thought, a pile of Spiritual Herbs fell on the table.

Lou Mu Yan swept them with her eyes, and they were indeed all what she needed. After putting them away, she drank a few cups of tea, got up, then said: “I’m going to my room now to refine pills. Great Master Lou will use the Spirit Flame to expel the poison for the Imperial Concubine first. Three days later, I’ll come out to treat her.”

“Alright!” Lou Qing said decisively.

He had used the Spirit Flame to expel toxins from his beloved’s body before, but unfortunately, the root of the Water Illusion Nether Dream wasn’t completely cured. In only one year, the venom eroded her whole body again, and was even more poisonous, so he didn’t dare do such a thing again.

Because of that one experience, it was now easier to clear it, and three days was just enough.

Three days later, Lou Mu Yan returned to the palace bedroom and saw Lou Qing sitting on a chair beside the bed with a pale face, looking at the woman lying down with a very soft expression.

“Is the toxin removed?” She asked as she approached.

Lou Qing appeared tired, but there was a little more expectation in his eyes, “Removed. Can Young Miss Lou completely cure the Water Illusion Nether Dream today?”

“Mm. You can lift the Seal on her heart now.”

“Alright!”

Lou Qing used the last of his energy to release the Seal. His physical strength and Elemental Energy were overdrawn. He quickly took a pill and sat aside to rest, but his eyes were fixed on Lou Mu Yan’s movements.

Lou Mu Yan ignored him, then after thinking about it, took out an Array Flag and set up an Array in the palace to prevent outsiders from affecting her detoxification.

A flash of strangeness crossed Lou Qing’s eyes when he saw her arrange an Array, and he also revealed some appreciation. His Elemental Energy was overdrawn right now. If a powerhouse came to disturb the detoxification, he wouldn’t be able to fight at all.

This girl’s temperament and vigilance didn’t look to belong to a seventeen-year-old girl at all.

Lou Mu Yan fed a pill to Si Nan’s Concubine Mother, took out a set of golden needles and performed acupuncture first. Then she finally inserted a Mutant Flame carrying a purple-gold flame into the other party’s body little by little to search.

After about four hours, she finally found a small blue light spot in a small corner of Si Nan’s Concubine Mother’s internal organs.

She quickly devoured it with her Spirit Flame, then fed her a pill and laid her body down.

After advancing to Peak-Phase Sword Monarch, she did feel a lot easier when she treated others.

“Alright, the Water Illusion Nether Dream has been completely removed from her body. She’ll wake up in three days at most.” Lou Mu Yan exhaled a turbid breath and said with a light smile.

Lou Qing’s eyes burst with pleasant surprise, then he quickly stepped forward to check.

After a while, with ecstasy on his calm face, he bowed to Lou Mu Yan, “Thank you, Young Miss Lou. A mere ‘thank you’ is an insufficient response to such a huge favour. Lou Qing will remember this life-saving grace of detoxification and will definitely return it in the future.”

Lou Mu Yan smiled lightly and didn’t refuse his words of repayment, but furrowed her brows as she looked outside the palace with cold eyes, “Now let’s deal with the flies outside first.”

1different Lou. Lou Mu Yan’s Lou is 楼, Lou Qing’s Lou is 娄. Same pronunciation though.
