Su Ji understood where Feng Xiang was coming from. Still, he asked, “Exactly what medicine did Third Miss eat?”
Different illegal pills had different side effects. Before he could diagnose what exactly had ruined her cinnabar field, he needed to know which one she’d eaten.
“It’s a Level Advancing Pill. Within two hours, her power will advance by one level.” Seeing that Feng Xiuyu was still screaming incoherently, Xu Jiayi answered on her behalf.
Feng Xiang stared at Xu Jiayi and asked suspiciously, “Where did Yu’er get that sort of pill?” Level Advancing Pills were outlawed entirely, and it was illegal to consume them.
Xu Jiayi did not answer Feng Xiang and continued to console Feng Xiuyu. The Level Advancing Pills were items kept by her own family. She had always known what Yu’er’s limitations were. So, she’d intended to give one to Yu’er when she reached a point where she couldn’t advance her skills anymore. Once Yu’er reached a level beyond her abilities, then she could be just like her older daughter and make it into Flying Frost Pavilion without needing to pass any tests.
After that, to cover up any side effects of the pill, Xu Jiayi had planned to find an opportunity to claim that Yu’er had been injured in a fight. At that point, since the Flying Frost Pavilion would have already considered her one of their own, they would have been able to heal her.
In any case, she’d been meant to use the pill much later. She had not expected Yu’er to be so impatient to win and use it so soon. This was a miscalculated move! The girl just couldn’t check her temper!
Feng Xiang threw Xu Jiayi a cold stare, then looked back hopefully at Su Ji. He said, “Doctor Su, can her cinnabar field and meridian channels be healed?”
As long as they could be restored, he was willing to pay any price. After all, with one more strong fighter at his side, he had a better chance of becoming the strongest in all of South Winds Nation.
Seeing that Feng Xiang had asked so sincerely, Su Ji replied honestly, “There is a Restoration Pill that can heal damaged cinnabar fields, but it is extremely hard to find. Also, you have to eat one Nurturing Pill per day until you get your hands on a Restoration Pill. Only then can there be any hope of restoring her cinnabar field.”
Obtaining one or two Nurturing Pills was easy, but eating one a day would even empty the country’s reserves. Nurturing Pills were expensive!
“Would any grade work?” Feng Xiang asked hurriedly. If she needed at least Grade 7 and above, it would be extremely hard to accomplish this, even with all the money in the world.
Su Ji nodded. Then, he returned to the topic of illegal medicines, saying, “Third Miss’ cinnabar field did not implode due to any external forces. Nor was this particular illegal medicine the cause. It’s possible that some other pill, which she consumed before, caused this. But I am not able to detect what went wrong. Feng Clan Head, you will have to find out who gave her this poison yourself.”
The side effects of Level Advancing Pills include weakened meridian channels and an inability to train, but they did not include imploding cinnabar fields or an inability to gather spirits. Feng Xiuyu must have eaten something else that caused this.
Little did they know that Feng Tianlan had coated the Marrow Cleansing Pills that they’d bought with two pieces of Spiritual Crystal with poison that smelled similar to the pills. This was the poison that had caused Feng Xiuyu’s cinnabar field to implode. If they ever found out, Feng Xiang and Feng Xiuyu would die from rage. They had spent a fortune only for Feng Xiuyu to effectively turn into a useless person!
“Poison!” Feng Xiang clenched his teeth and threatened, “If I find out who poisoned my daughter, I will make his life a living hell!” He thought: Who could be so cruel? This heartless person has turned a genius to trash. Even if he dies a thousand times over, it won’t be enough to dissipate my anger.
“Big Brother Rong…” After she finished a bout of screaming, Feng Xiuyu finally came to her senses and started to think about what she should do.
Feng Xiuyu immediately started crying and looked at Si Rong, who had not uttered a single word. She used her most understanding and magnanimous voice and said, “Big Brother Rong, I’m now a useless person, and I’m not worthy of you. You should marry my elder sister, after all…”
As she continued to sob, Feng Xiuyu was certain that Feng Tianlan had destroyed her cinnabar field because she was jealous that Big Brother Rong liked her.
