She quickly built a bonfire with a whoosh and began roasting the golden deer.
Before long, an enticing aroma filled the air.
Ye Fei, who had been nibbling on fruit, was inevitably drawn by the scent. Even the fruit in his hand, which had been quite sweet, could no longer satisfy him.
Ye Fei then set aside the fruit and sat down beside Gu Ningyan, his eyes fixed on the sizzling, oily golden deer.
"Junior Brother Ye, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon!"
Gu Ningyan said with a chuckle.
"Senior Sister, you don't need to mind me, I can wait."
Ye Fei replied without looking up.
Despite his words, Gu Ningyan sped up her cooking.
Finally, after a quarter of an hour, Gu Ningyan finished cooking, and all the food was placed on a wooden table nearby.
"Junior Brother, I apologize for making you wait!"
"This golden deer can heal internal injuries and is very beneficial for the body, so eat more!"
"Let's start quickly!"
Gu Ningyan instructed.
"Senior Sister, then I won't be polite!"
Ye Fei's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly.
He then began to enjoy the sumptuous breakfast.
The moment it entered his mouth, Ye Fei's eyes widened. At the same time, he did not forget to give Gu Ningyan a thumbs up and praised her.
"Senior Sister, this is too delicious!"
"This is simply the most delicious food I have ever eaten!"
Gu Ningyan was naturally very happy and began to eat heartily with Ye Fei.
The two of them, back and forth, managed to finish the entire table of food.
Only a few empty bowls and plates remained on the table.
After eating and drinking their fill, Ye Fei felt a warmth spread through his body.
The previously aching wounds had miraculously healed.
"Senior Sister, this golden deer is truly amazing!"
"I originally wanted to treat my injuries, but after eating the meat of this golden deer, my injuries no longer hurt, it's wonderful!"
Ye Fei couldn't help but exclaim.
"Junior Brother Ye, I should thank you too!"
"Although I have no knowledge of what happened after I fainted, my injuries have greatly improved, and this must be thanks to you."
Gu Ningyan cupped her hands.
"Senior Sister, you don't need to be like this!"
"Since we are fellow disciples, we should naturally help each other!"
"However, I also have some doubts. I examined you yesterday and found that there was already a toxin in your body. Due to being poisoned by the Bloodthirsty Blue-tailed Scorpion, it directly triggered the toxin in your body, which caused you to faint."
Gu Ningyan was surprised that Ye Fei could identify the toxin in her body and nodded.
"Junior Brother, you are correct, I was indeed poisoned!"
"And that toxin was accidentally ingested by my senior brother and I when we ate wild fruit during a trial."
"However, fortunately, the potency of this toxin is not strong, and the antidote pills I carry can temporarily suppress its toxicity."
Ye Fei had not expected this to be the reason.
He nodded knowingly and continued.
"Senior Sister, although this toxin was not fatal before, when it encounters the poison of the Bloodthirsty Blue-tailed Scorpion, the two combined become an extremely deadly toxin."
"If you cannot find an antidote within a month, your life will be in danger."
Ye Fei's words struck Gu Ningyan like a bolt from the blue.
"Impossible!"
"Junior Brother, don't be alarmist!"
Gu Ningyan's first reaction was naturally disbelief, so she directly refuted him.
However, seeing Ye Fei remain silent, Gu Ningyan's heart sank, and her expression became much more serious.
After a moment of silence, Gu Ningyan finally spoke.
"Junior Brother, if that's the case, do you have a solution?"
Ye Fei pursed his lips and replied.
"Senior Sister, to be honest, I do know how to refine the antidote pill, but the only difficulty now is that the medicinal ingredients for the antidote are very hard to find!"
"The toxin in your body must be removed by refining it into a Pure Qi Pill using the rare Pure Qi Grass!"
Gu Ningyan was first surprised by Ye Fei's knowledge of alchemy and then murmured to herself.
"Although I haven't heard of it before, this valley is rumored to grow many rare flowers and exotic herbs, so perhaps we can find the Pure Qi Grass you mentioned."
Hearing her murmur, Ye Fei's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh.
"Senior Sister, you are right!"
"We are like someone worrying about money while holding a gold ingot!"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter!"
"I'll go out and look for the Pure Qi Grass for you later!"
Gu Ningyan was touched, and a smile appeared on her face as she said.
"Thank you, Junior Brother. It would be best if we act together. Even if I'm not at my best, I can still help you a little!"
Ye Fei was naturally delighted and agreed.
"Senior Sister, there's no time to lose, why don't we pack up and get ready to leave now!"
Ye Fei suggested.
"You're right, if we don't find the Pure Qi Grass today, we can't delay any further, especially since Senior Brother has no clues. Fortunately, Senior Brother's soul lamp has shown no changes."
Gu Ningyan said with a solemn expression.
Then the two of them tidied up carefully and embarked on their journey to find the Pure Qi Grass.
"Senior Sister, from now on, just follow me!"
"This way!"
Ye Fei reminded her.
Based on her interactions with Ye Fei over the past two days, Gu Ningyan knew that Ye Fei was not one to speak without purpose, so she followed him ahead with confidence.
At this moment, Ye Fei's divine sense was fully active, constantly scanning the area ahead.
Unfortunately, he still could not find any trace of the Pure Qi Grass.
However, Ye Fei had a deep understanding of the growing environment of the Pure Qi Grass.
Pure Qi Grass thrives in damp and cold environments, especially in mountain gullies that face away from sunlight, which is conducive to its growth.
Therefore, Ye Fei and Gu Ningyan continued towards the shaded areas of the mountain gullies.
Finally, after nearly an hour and a half of travel, Ye Fei faintly heard the sound of flowing water.
"Senior Sister, that's great, let's keep going to the right!"
Ye Fei said happily.
The two then continued to the right.
After another half an hour, Ye Fei and Gu Ningyan finally arrived near a very cool and low-lying mountain gully.
Ye Fei could faintly smell the unique fragrance of the Pure Qi Grass!
"This is it!"
Ye Fei's heart was filled with joy, and he murmured.
"Senior Sister, it's here!"
"You wait here first, I'll go forward and investigate!"
Ye Fei instructed.
"Junior Brother, go ahead with confidence."
Gu Ningyan urged him.
