Chapter 1977: Chapter 1976: Fruit Pills

After speaking with Bai Zebo, Bai Ruozhu returned to the room, feeling empty inside, especially without that familiar presence by her side.

It’s a pity there’s no phone; otherwise, just hearing his voice on a call would be comforting.

Sighing, Bai Ruozhu shifted her thoughts and entered the Space.

This time, she saw a large expanse of reds and yellows far ahead, quickly darting over.

Getting closer, a fragrant scent filled the air, the aroma of ripe fruits.

Excitedly, she found a resplendent red fruit, picked it, and began examining it in her palm.

It smelled like it might have blood-replenishing effects. After carefully confirming it was safe, she tasted one.

The fragrance was delightful, tempting her to eat more, and her body felt warm. Though not injured now, injured folks would surely experience excellent blood-replenishing effects.

It was unclear if the fruit was suitable for others; eating them alone might be too much.

Setting aside this concern, she turned to the yellow fruit, studying it for a bit, ultimately confirming its enhancement of physical fitness.

Tasting one again, she sensed subtle bodily changes.

But the strength-enhancing degree of the fruit was effective but not overwhelming, akin to dietary supplements providing a slight uptick in vitality.

Then she examined the green fruit, quickly determining its detoxifying effect, though it was less potent than her detoxification pills, making green fruits seem a bit redundant.

No way! Suddenly her eyes widened; how had she forgotten? What if she added green fruit to her detoxification pills?

Quickly, she picked several ripe green fruits, running back to the medicine table to make a new version of the detoxification pill.

About half an hour later, detoxification pills carrying the fragrance of fruits were completed, surprisingly vibrant green, resembling tasty candy pills.

Bai Ruozhu’s smile moved her eyes to curve; these detoxification pills were the enhanced version, capable of suppressing even stronger poisons and automatically neutralizing milder ones.

For instance, the Huagong Powder which the earlier pill couldn’t tackle; now it poses no threat, though residual effects must be thoroughly cleaned up. Venom from snakes or spiders can now be directly countered, which is far more convenient than before.

Thrilled, Bai Ruozhu made a few more vibrant green detoxification pills.

Eventually, after the excitement faded, she felt tired, exited the Space, and had a good sleep.

Meanwhile, a black fruit tree quietly stood in the forest, seemingly forgotten, though surrounded by yellow fruits, its distinctively smaller, less noticeable black fruits went unnoticed.

The next day, Bai Ruozhu awoke, quickly seeking someone to help test the medicine. Normally, she’d test it herself, but with a child to care for, she couldn’t take any chances.

Jianqi, hearing her need, offered, ”No need to find someone, I’ll do it.”

”Aren’t you afraid of being knocked out?” Bai Ruozhu chuckled.

”I trust your medical skills, Master,” Jianqi said.

Without further ado, Bai Ruozhu selected a moderately toxic poison. Jianqi was soon poisoned, yet Bai Ruozhu handed him a vibrant green pill. ”Take it.”

Jianqi swallowed without hesitation, soon feeling much more comfortable, with the poison gradually dissipating.

”Master, is this the detoxification pill?” Jianqi marveled; he’d taken her earlier pills, but none had been this potent.

”It’s the new detoxification pill,” Bai Ruozhu replied with a smile, and then shifted the topic, ”How’s the collection of martial arts manuals going?”

”Martial arts manuals aren’t readily sold; thus, we’ve only acquired three sword manuals, one movement technique, and one boxing manual,” Jianqi answered.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, ”Evaluate them, and consider rewarding the team. You all follow me; we can’t let your progress lag, otherwise I’ve failed as your master.”

Jianqi bowed, ”Understood.”

She nodded and turned to her own tasks, new ideas about the fruits fresh in her mind. Eating red and yellow fruits directly seemed wasteful. What if they were refined into medicine? Surely their effects would multiply. She wished to immediately re-enter the Space to research.

”Master, some auction houses in Wulin periodically sell martial arts manuals. Selling those detoxification pills might trade for better manuals,” Jianqi paused before leaving, ”If detoxification pills aren’t abundant, don’t waste them.”

Bai Ruozhu’s eyes gleamed; of course, many in River Jiang use poison, and even the most skilled experts dread facing it. Her detoxification pills would certainly be popular.

”I’m also making more pills; once ready, I’ll see if you can trade them,” Bai Ruozhu smiled.

Jianqi nodded happily and went off to arrange the reward for the manuals collection.

As dark guards, typically protecting the master or completing missions leaves little personal time. Over time, martial skills development slows, an unwanted outcome for any dark guard.

Bai Ruozhu considered this, ensuring guards rotated shifts when tasks were light, granting time to train off-duty.

Bai Ruozhu re-entered the Space, working for over an hour before pausing.

Now, a bottle of red pills and a bottle of gleaming yellow pills were in her hands.

This time she noted the black fruit tree, though busy, she didn’t specially inspect it.

Exiting the Space, Bai Ruozhu hurriedly left the residence, heading straight for the Meng Family.

Old Madam Meng heard she arrived, assuming she was upset since the school was shut down, but Bai Ruozhu entered with a bright demeanor, greeting before asking, ”Grandmother, is Brother Huilin here? I have something for him.”

Old Madam Meng sat a bit straighter, ”Is it the mechanical arm?”

Realizing Bai Ruozhu’s hands were empty, she’d thought too much; the mechanical arm wouldn’t fit in her sleeves.

Embarrassed, Bai Ruozhu quickly explained, ”I’ve made a superb blood-replenishing medicine; despite earlier recovery, Brother Huilin’s Qi Blood’s been slow to mend.”

”Great, great, quickly call for the Young Master!” Old Madam Meng, delighted again, appreciating any aid against her grandson’s persistent pallor.

Bai Ruozhu chatted with the old lady, she inquired about the school, Bai Ruozhu grinned, ”Grandmother, relax, I’m prepared. Let’s let them flounder for now.”
