"Excellent, we've won!"
"We actually won!"
Shangguan Xueer and the others had prepared for death, but never in their wildest dreams did they expect to defeat the Qin family members.
Of course, Ye Fei was the decisive factor in this battle.
"Ye Fei, thank you!"
"If it weren't for you today, we would have no chance of survival."
Shangguan Xueer said, her heart still pounding.
"It's what I should do."
"No need for thanks, let's clear the battlefield first."
"And then we have to handle the aftermath."
"Now that we've killed so many people from the Qin family, they will surely seek revenge. We must devise a foolproof countermeasure!"
Ye Fei said with concern.
"Ye Fei, you don't need to worry about that."
"Since they provoked us first today, and Grandpa is like a brother to the elder of the Murong family, one of the four great families, they wouldn't dare to hold us accountable!"
Seeing the elder nod, Ye Fei finally felt a weight lifted from his heart.
"Brother-in-law, little brother truly admires you!"
"Your combat ability is simply too formidable!"
"Fortunately, I informed you in time, otherwise we would all be dead!"
Shangguan Ming also said, with lingering fear.
Just as Ye Fei was about to reply, an anxious voice sounded.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"This is bad, Master has fainted!"
The Shangguan butler had just gone to pour the elder a cup of tea. Before he could even drink it, he saw the elder collapse softly onto the ground.
"Grandpa!"
Shangguan Xueer immediately rushed over.
The guards nearby picked up Elder Shangguan and placed him in the bedroom.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
"Wake up, don't scare me!"
Seeing the elder unconscious, Shangguan Xueer's eyes instantly turned red.
"Let me examine the elder, you all move aside!"
Ye Fei saw that the elder's complexion was slightly abnormal and guessed that he might have been poisoned.
"Ye Fei, you must save my Grandpa, please!"
At this moment, Shangguan Xueer clearly saw Ye Fei as her last hope, tightly grasping his clothes.
"Don't worry, I will do my best."
"I'll examine the elder now."
Ye Fei soothed.
Only then did Shangguan Xueer reluctantly release Ye Fei's clothes.
Ye Fei then placed his right hand on the elder's wrist and began to examine him.
As he explored, he was startled.
The elder's body contained two toxins fighting each other, refusing to yield, their conflict incredibly fierce.
This was also the reason for the elder's chaotic pulse.
After understanding the specific cause, Ye Fei directly let go of the elder's hand and then turned his gaze to everyone present.
"The elder has been poisoned!"
"And there are two toxins in his body now, pulling against each other, which is why the elder has fallen unconscious."
"The antidote I have on hand can only temporarily alleviate the symptoms of the toxins in the elder's body, but it cannot completely eradicate them."
After a pause, he continued.
"To completely eradicate the toxins, we must find a herb called Imperial Blood Grass and refine a Detoxification Pill."
"I will write down the names of the medicinal ingredients needed to refine this Detoxification Pill, and you must prepare them all according to this prescription."
"Be quick!"
"My antidote can only delay the toxins' effects for ten days at most!"
"If the medicinal ingredients are not gathered within ten days, the elder's condition will be critical, and he may never wake up again."
Ye Fei said.
"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll have someone prepare it immediately!"
Shangguan Xueer was the first to react, immediately taking the prescription and instructing the butler to gather the ingredients as quickly as possible.
However, not long after, the butler returned with the alchemist from the Shangguan family who had just come from outside.
The butler's expression was naturally very grim.
He immediately relayed the information he had just received to Shangguan Xueer.
"Young Miss, I've already instructed people to check the storeroom. All the medicinal ingredients required for the Detoxification Pill, except for the Imperial Blood Grass, can be found."
"As for the Imperial Blood Grass, let Uncle Qi explain it!"
Uncle Qi, who had rushed over, first briefly examined the elder and then immediately let out a sigh of admiration.
"Perfect!"
"This Detoxification Pill prescription is truly perfect!"
"I never expected these medicinal ingredients could be combined in such a way!"
After his exclamation, Uncle Qi cleared his throat and spoke.
"Young Miss, I've also examined Master's condition."
"This prescription can indeed clear the toxins from Master's body."
"However, the only difficulty is that Imperial Blood Grass is too precious and can only be found in Mist Valley to the far left."
"As for how dangerous Mist Valley is, I don't think I need to emphasize it to you!"
When Shangguan Xueer first heard the first half of the statement, she couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.
But the latter half of the statement directly plunged her into an abyss!
She knew Mist Valley very well.
It was known as a forbidden zone!
A graveyard for martial artists!
In the past, many martial artists, alchemists, and artifact refiners had ventured into Mist Valley, but very few had returned safely.
Most were buried there directly.
"Is there no other place besides Mist Valley?"
Shangguan Xueer asked, unwilling to give up.
Uncle Qi shook his head helplessly.
"Young Miss, I've never heard of any trace of Imperial Blood Grass in any other place."
Shangguan Xueer was now completely disheartened.
However, for her grandfather's sake, whether it was a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, she had to brave it!
"Little brother, I'll leave the family matters to you!"
"I believe you can hold up this family!"
Shangguan Ming had never hated himself so much!
It was all because his cultivation was too low!
That's why he couldn't help his sister!
However, he didn't want his sister to take risks while he stayed at home like a coward, protected by his family.
"Sister, let me go instead!"
"I'll bring my personal guards with me!"
Shangguan Ming finally retorted.
Seeing the brother and sister vying with each other, Ye Fei was deeply moved by their sibling affection.
"Hey, aren't you two forgetting about me?"
"Since I suggested it, of course I'm the one who will venture into Mist Valley."
"What do you say?"
Ye Fei said with a smile.
The two of them now tacitly shook their heads, clearly disagreeing with Ye Fei taking the risk.
"Alright, my mind is made up. Your persuasion is useless."
"Me going alone is the best option!"
"You two, stop arguing with me!"
"Not only am I strong in combat, but I can also refine pills, craft artifacts, and set up formations. Which of you is so versatile?"
Ye Fei boasted shamelessly.
But this was indeed the truth.
The brother and sister exchanged a look, and finally, they relented.
"Ye Fei, be careful with everything. We'll wait for your return at home!"
Shangguan Xueer cautioned.
The others also expressed their gratitude to Ye Fei.
Everyone looked forward to Ye Fei's safe and timely return.
"Alright, no need to send me off, you all go inside quickly!"
Ye Fei waved his hand, and amidst everyone's reluctance, he set off alone towards Mist Valley.
