Chapter 586: Finding a new way to Suppress Song Jiaʼs Disease𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Reaching the badly damaged pagoda at the bottom of the massive crater at the centre of the ancient city ruins without encountering a single demon beast along the way, Chu Yang felt his curiously reach the peak as he poked his head inside the badly damaged pagoda.

Not the slightest bit of cation visible on his face, Chu Yang soon finished looking over the mostly empty first floor of the pagoda.

”Looks like the Explorer Union really did empty out this place when they combed through the ancient city ruins in the past…” Muttering this to himself as he saw several empty bookshelves lined up along the walls of the pagoda, Chu Yang could not help feeling his hope for finding anything valuable inside the badly damaged pagoda slowly start disappearing.

Creak~

Stepping inside, Chu Yang ignored the creaking sound coming from the wooden floor beneath him as he did another quick scan of the first floor of the pagoda before focusing his attention on the spiral staircase leading up to the second floor of the pagoda.

Although he already had a feeling that he would not find anything of value after seeing the state of the first floor, Chu Yang was not one to give up exploring the rest of the pagoda now that he had already entered it!

Whoosh~

With this in mind, Chu Yang walked through the empty first floor of the pagoda before reaching the spiral staircase located directly at the centre of the pagoda.

Taking his first step onto the spiral staircase, Chu Yang briefly felt a weird sensation in his dantian for a short moment before it disappeared.

Creak~

Not thinking too much about it, Chu Yang made his way up the creaking spiral staircase towards the second floor of the badly damaged pagoda. Wanting to find out if there was anything valuable left after the Explorer Union had cleaned up the place some two hundred years ago.

…

”Hm… This is truly troublesome…” Back at the Flying Sword Sect, Xuan Hao was looking over a dozen different potions that he had just finished brewing. Each of them was unique in their own way, with one being a purple bobbling liquid, while another could be mistaken for a small cloud trapped in a bottle,

Every single one of the potions in front of him were brewed for the sole purpose of supressing the disease Song Jia was suffering from. The only problem left, was to test whether or not any of the potions would actually be useful in dealing with the disease Song Jia was suffering from…

After all, the last thing Xuan Hao wanted, was to accidently feed Song Jia a potion that ended up killing her due to him having made a miscalculation somewhere along the line…

No matter what, it had to be remembered that Song Jia was only in the early stages of the Foundation Establishment Realm. The power contained in the potions he had made was far too much for her to endure with her current strength. Only if the potion worked perfectly and used all its power solely on supressing the black spots hidden away in her eyes would they be considered useful.

If they ended up being absorbed by her dantian or some other part of her body, Song Jia might end up exploding due to the sheer amount of energy contained in the potions he had brewed… Something Xuan Hao wanted to avoid!

For this reason, he had to find a way to test the potions he had just finished brewing and test their effectiveness to see whether or not any of them could be used by Song Jia.

However, how would he test the effectiveness of the potions…? The only person with the weird black spot disease that he knew about was Song Jia and testing such powerful potions on her would most likely just end up killing her in the process before he could even find out what had gone wrong…

”Ah! How on earth do I find out if these potions will work!?” Feeling a bit frustrated as he realized that he might not be able to help out Song Jia without using the demonic medicinal potion that Elder Song had already proved worked in supressing her disease, Xuan Hao picked up the recipe for the demonic medicinal potion as he began reading through it.

Even though he had gotten his hands on the recipe back at Song Jiaʼs house, he had not yet fully looked through it, as he didnʼt plan on using it if possible, it was after all a demonic potion recipe.

Even if he didnʼt sacrifice anyone to make the demonic medicinal potion, he would still have to sacrifice his own lifespan to make it… Something that he wanted to avoid, if possible, as recovering from doing something like that would make him unable to cultivate normally for months, if not years!

”Hm?” Looking over the demonic potion recipe, Xuan Hao could not help freezing as he reached the list of spiritual herbs required for the potion.

Why do I feel like Iʼve already made this potion before…?

Thinking this to himself as he continued reading through the demonic potion recipe, Xuan Hao could not help showing a slightly shocked expression as he finished reading through the demonic potion recipe.

The reason for this was not simply that he felt that the spiritual herbs used in the recipe was similar to one of the potions he had just refined, but instead because they were the exact same except for a few of the weirder and more demonic ingredients like the sacrifice.

Instead of these demonic ingredients, he had instead used some more expensive and rare spiritual herbs that would normally not be used in a Spirit Grade Potion.

”Maybe this one could actually work…” Looking over the potion in question and recalling the spiritual herbs used in it, Xuan Hao felt confident that it should have a similar effect as the demonic medicinal potion.

The reason for his confidence was not only because of the fact that the two potions needed mostly the same ingredients, but also because the brewing method he had used to make the potion was exactly the same as the one used for brewing the demonic medicinal potion!

Of course, exactly the same when it came to mixing tougher the different spiritual herbs and other ingredients. The preparation of the different spiritual herbs and ingredients were of course different. After all, Xuan Hao did not find a sacrifice and used their blood and soul as an ingredient in the potion.

Feeling more and more confident the more he looked through the recipe and compared it with one of the dozen potions he had refined, Xuan Hao slowly decided that he would try and give the potion to Song Jia…

Even if there was a risk involved in this and he might end up making the situation worse, Xuan Hao felt confident that he would still be able to keep Song Jia alive in the worst-case scenario.

All things considered; he was still a Domain Lord who had an ice domain. In the worst-case scenario, Xuan Hao planned to just freeze Song Jia alive and prevent the potion from doing any harm to her before slowly expelling it from her body.

Although this was something he could do, the experience of being frozen alive was not something without any pain, as Song Jia would end up going through a lot of pain in such a situation as the failed potion was slowly drawn out of her body.

Not to mention, he had no idea how the black spots in her eyes would react after the potion failed to supress them… If it really came down to it, Xuan Hao prepared to directly refine the demonic medicinal potion to deal with the black spots if this happened.

Even if it was something hard to refine for Elder Song, it was not something difficult for Xuan Hao who was already an Artisan Alchemist. Refining the demonic medicinal potion would at most take him half a minute or so, more than enough time for him to supress the black spots in her eyes before they could do any damage to Song Jia!

”Okay… Letʼs do it like that then. Now I just need to find Song Jia and get a quiet place for her to consume the potion…” Muttering this to himself as he decided to move forward with getting Song Jia to first consume the non-demonic potion he had refined first; Xuan Hao used his divine sense to find Song Jia before scanning the Flying Sword Sect for a good location to have her consume the potion without someone accidently disturbing them.

Swoosh~

”That should be a good place…” Finding a small empty pagoda located at the edge of the Flying Sword Sect, Xuan Hao felt like it would be a good location to have her consume the potion without anyone disturbing them.

Not that the location was that important given that he could just use his domain to prevent anyone from finding them…

”…” Realizing this, Xuan Hao smiled a bit wryly as he turned his attention away from the small pagoda before focusing on Song Jia busy playing around inside Zu Feiʼs pavilion.

The fact that Song Jia had spotted him earlier had momentarily made him forget that other people below the Domain Lord Realm would not be able to see him if he didnʼt want them to…

The little girl truly was a troublesome one… She even made him think that he needed to find somewhere secluded as he forgot how powerful his hiding abilities actually were…
