Chen Li remained silent, extending his hand towards the poison spots on Xuanjizi's arm, his fingertips entwined with a faint golden spiritual energy. This energy was not purely offensive or defensive; it was infused with a strand of Divine Soul Power.
The poison spots seemed to sense the threat, the red patterns resembling thin snakes writhing slightly, emanating a chilling aura. Chen Li furrowed his brow; the poison from the Blood Sacrifice Spider was indeed strange, possessing a form of intelligence.
Withdrawing his probing power, Chen Li formed a preliminary judgment in his mind. This poison was not without a cure, but the method to detoxify it would likely be quite complex. He cupped his hands towards Xuanjizi and said, "Senior, allow me to consult some materials first; perhaps I can find a solution."
After speaking, Chen Li hurriedly left the courtyard, making his way to the Imperial Academy's Dan Fang Repository. The Dan Fang Repository was an ancient stone tower, its walls engraved with countless intricate runes that emitted a faint medicinal fragrance. It housed the various prescriptions accumulated by the Imperial Academy over thousands of years.
Using his status as a student, Chen Li entered the Dan Fang Repository. As he flipped through the yellowed ancient texts, he silently recited, "System, scan all prescriptions and search for information regarding the Blood Sacrifice Spider."
Ding! The system is scanning.
The voice of the system echoed in Chen Li's mind like a ray of hopeful dawn. This Golden Finger was sometimes reliable and sometimes not; with tens of thousands of prescriptions, it would be difficult to go through them all in a short time. Because of this uncertainty, he had refrained from boasting in front of Xuanjizi earlier.
Now all his hopes rested here; he hoped to find the corresponding antidote among countless prescriptions. After all, the Blood Fiend Sect had once been a significant threat to the Qian Sheng Empire, and the academy would naturally seek ways to crack their various evil secret techniques. The Dan Fang Repository was indeed his greatest hope.
Meanwhile, in the office of the Imperial Academy's dean, the atmosphere was as heavy as the calm before a storm. "Xuanjizi, do you truly have only one year left to live?" Dean Xiao Qingshan's voice trembled as if he could hardly believe this fact. He was tall and had a full beard; usually exuding an air of immortality, but at this moment his face was filled with worry, as if he had aged ten years.
Xuanjizi let out a bitter laugh and replied, "Dean, you know well about the poison from the Blood Sacrifice Spider. For so many years, the Three Major Sects have been helpless against it; what more can I do?"
Xiao Qingshan slumped back into his chair, murmuring to himself, "What are we to do? The strength of the Imperial Academy has already fallen far behind the other Three Major Sects. If we don't have fourth-grade pills to support us, I'm afraid..." He paused, a hint of desolation creeping into his voice. "Soon, the academy's resources will dwindle, and outstanding students will be poached by other sects. The Imperial Academy will eventually be swallowed by them!"
He suddenly lifted his head, his gaze burning as he fixed it on Xuanjizi. "Xuanjizi, you are our academy's hope, the future of the Dan Hall! You must hold on!"
Xuanjizi spread his hands helplessly. "Dean, this heavy responsibility might have to fall on someone else. I’m not even sure I can survive this year, let alone refine fourth-grade pills. Who knows? I might end up becoming a disaster myself."
Xiao Qingshan's expression stiffened.
Seeing this, Li Yuanhua quickly tried to ease the tension. "Dean, don’t lose heart. Chen Li said he might be able to help Senior Brother."
"Chen Li? That kid who hasn’t even grown hair yet?" Xiao Qingshan looked skeptical.
But Li Yuanhua was serious. "Dean, don’t underestimate him because of his age. His talent for alchemy is extremely high. Previously, he used materials for ten Nourishing Spirit Pills and produced a hundred top-quality Nourishing Spirit Pills!"
Xiao Qingshan was taken aback and suddenly stood up, grabbing Li Yuanhua's shoulders. "Is that true?"
Li Yuanhua was startled by his sudden movement and quickly nodded. "Yes!"
Only then did Xiao Qingshan let out a slight sigh of relief. "Could you two stop panting while talking? You nearly gave me a heart attack!"
In the Dan Fang Repository, Chen Li had already flipped through thousands of ancient texts but still found no records regarding the Blood Sacrifice Spider.
Feeling somewhat frustrated, Chen Li wondered if the Imperial Academy truly had no information about the Blood Sacrifice Spider.
Ding! Scanning complete; relevant pill formula found!
Just as Chen Li was about to give up, the voice of the system finally rang out.
Chen Li perked up immediately and asked, "What is the formula?"
"Blood Cleansing Detoxification Pill."
Chen Li froze for a moment before bursting with joy.
Although the name Blood Cleansing Detoxification Pill sounded rather ordinary, the fact that the system could find it indicated that this pill must be related to the poison of the Blood Sacrifice Spider.
He hurriedly followed the system's instructions to locate the ancient text that recorded the Blood Cleansing Detoxification Pill.
However, when he opened the ancient text, his expression instantly turned strange. The method for refining the Blood Cleansing Detoxification Pill was simply bizarre!
Queen Chen Li staggered out of the Elixir Storage Room, dark circles under his eyes. He tightly clutched a crumpled piece of paper filled with an array of bizarre materials. He headed straight to Elder Li Yuanhua's cave, handing over the list.
Li Yuanhua took the list and scanned it quickly, his brow furrowing deeper with each passing moment. Millennium Xuanbing Silkworm droppings? Ten Thousand Year Fire Lizard eye gunk? Wood struck by Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation? Could these things really cure Brother Xuanjizi? The more he looked at the absurd materials on the list, the more incredulous he became.
Chen Li weakly nodded in response: It should work. He hadn’t slept much these past few days, engrossed in studying ancient texts detailing the Blood Cleansing Detoxification Pill. This recipe was truly peculiar! Not only were the required materials strange, but the refining methods were also unheard of.
Li Yuanhua glanced at Chen Li with a strange expression, then back at the list. Finally, he sighed and turned to prepare the materials. After all, Brother Xuanjizi's life was at stake; no matter how outrageous this recipe was, it had to be tried.
At the Imperial Academy, with its profound resources, they managed to gather all the materials despite their oddity. Three days later, Li Yuanhua handed all the materials to Chen Li. Without a word, Chen Li dove into the Alchemy Room and began his secluded refining process.
Ten days later, the door of the Alchemy Room slowly creaked open. Chen Li emerged with a grim expression, his clothes tattered and hair disheveled, looking like a beggar who had just crawled out of a garbage heap. In his hands was a Jade Box containing a pill.
This pill was so bizarre that calling it peculiar would be an understatement. It was a nauseating shade of green, covered in pockmarks and riddled with tiny red bumps, resembling a lump of moldy cow dung infested with maggots. Even more unbearable was its strong odor of rotten eggs that made one feel dizzy and on the verge of vomiting.
