Chapter 85: Seventh Grade Spirit Replenishing Pill
He Fan and the others brought Lin Bai back to the He family home. At the same time, they also invited an alchemist.
At this moment, He Linsheng was laying on the bed. Although there were no obvious injuries on his body, his complexion was extremely pale. His body was sweating profusely, and there were only weak undulations on his chest. He looked extremely unwell.
Lin Bai sighed and said, “If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?”
These words were a little harsh to He Qichen’s ears, especially when He Linsheng was still unconscious. His expression was gloomy as he said, “Don’t think that I really don’t dare to kill you!”
Lin Bai shrugged and made a gesture to keep quiet as he stood at the side. This action made He Qichen even more flustered. He was about to speak when He Fan frowned and said, “Alright, Linsheng is already like this. Everyone, stop!”
He spoke very calmly. The gaze he used to look at Lin Bai was expressionless, and the coldness in his voice only increased. “If anything happens to Linsheng, it won’t be too late to settle the score then.”
The He family had invited a tier five alchemist, Chen Yan, who was quite famous in the capital. He reached into He Linsheng’s spirit vein and furrowed his brows.
“Alchemist Chen, how is he?”
Chen Yan shook his head and said in a reproachful tone.
“What’s wrong with you? How could you let him take so many recovery pills? It’s fine if that’s the case, but he swallowed them again before the effects of the medicine could be brought into play. This is like robbing Peter to pay Paul. It caused serious damage to the meridians in his body.”
It could be seen that He Linsheng’s condition was extremely serious, like a leaky bucket. No wonder He Qichen and He Fan took turns to channel their spirit qi to treat him, but his injuries showed no signs of healing.
“So, most of these injuries are caused by overconsumption of pills, resulting in damage to the spiritual veins?”
Chen Yan nodded and agreed, “You can say that the external injuries that young master suffered are just minor matters. The main reason is that his spiritual veins have been damaged, and his Dantian and other places have also been affected.”
He Qichen and He Fan’s expressions instantly turned as black as charcoal.
“Then, is there any way to repair these damaged spirit veins?”
Chen Yan frowned and did not say anything. Seeing this, both of their hearts were in their throats, after a long while, he said, “I’m afraid it’s very difficult. With his damaged meridians, he needs at least a seventh grade spirit replenishing pill to be able to repair them. I’m also unable to do it.”
The spirit replenishing pill could not only nourish the body, but it could also repair damaged spirit veins. Moreover, the medicinal effect was mild and did not have any side effects. Even if an ordinary person took it, it could prolong their life and strengthen their body. Therefore, it was extremely rare.
However, this kind of medicinal pill did not have any effect on cultivators with intact spirit meridians, and very few people used it. After all, its effect was somewhat useless, and it was not as good as the spirit recovery pill that was a few grades lower than it. Therefore, it was not commonly seen on the market.
Currently, the highest grade one in circulation in the capital city was only fifth grade.
He Fan frowned and could not help but ask, “Even if the spirit meridians were damaged, it would not be so severe. Why would it need a seventh grade spirit replenishing pill to repair it?”
Chen Yan’s gaze suddenly became a little subtle. “The surge of qi and blood caused the meridians to be blocked, and it went against the flow. That’s why it made things worse.”
To put it in layman terms, he was angered to the point of losing his mind. It was rare for him to be angered to such an extent. No wonder Chen Yan had such an expression. Even the He family members didn’t know what to say when they heard it.
The main culprit, Lin Bai, heard it clearly from the side and cursed in his heart. He did not expect He Linsheng to be so narrow-minded that he had angered him to this extent.
He Qichen immediately said excitedly, “You must have said something to my son. That’s why he’s like this.”
Lin Bai could not help but roll his eyes. “So, whatever problems your son has, it’s all someone else’s fault. Earlier, you said that I had done something, and now you’re saying that I had said something. What crimes do you want to pin on me next?”
“You!”
He Qichen wanted to continue arguing with him, but he was stopped by He Fan to avoid being laughed at by others. Most importantly, He Linsheng’s situation was not optimistic.
“Second brother, calm down. Now is not the time to dwell on this problem.”
“Alchemy master Chen does only grade seven spirit replenishing pills work? Would grade six do the job?”
If He Fan remembered correctly, there was still a grade six spirit replenishing pill at the auction in the capital. Although the price was a little high, it was still worth it for He Linsheng.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yan shook his head. “It has to be grade seven. If it’s only grade six, the effect will be greatly reduced. Even if young master’s spirit vein is replenished, his cultivation level will also drop drastically.”
He Qichen and He Fan’s expressions were extremely ugly. “The day of the competition of the various academies is soon. With Linsheng’s current state, how can he obtain a good ranking in the competition? His future prospects will be ruined!”
Hearing the words “Academy competition”, Lin Bai secretly kept an eye out. For the He family to take it so seriously, it must be an important competition.
Just as he was thinking, a strong force came. If not for Lin Bai’s quick dodging, he would have already been beheaded. The one who attacked was He Qichen.
“You have caused my son so much misery. Today, I will make you pay with your life.”
Lin Bai spread his hands and said helplessly, “But the fate of your son has nothing to do with me.”
“But you are also the main culprit.”
He Qicheng flew into a rage out of humiliation. Although he knew in his heart that such a reason was somewhat untenable, in his opinion, Lin Bai had no power and was from a small city. Even if he died, no one would say anything.
Even He Fan, who was beside him, did not speak. It was clear that he had tacitly agreed with his actions.
Even if Lin Bai had the ability to reach the heavens, it would still be difficult for him to escape from the encirclement of so many people from the He family. However, he was not worried in the slightest because…
“What if I can refine a seventh grade spirit replenishing pill?”
