Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"There are certainly ways to neutralize the Crimson Flame Poison, but..."

Inside the treasure basin, Gu Canyang changed the subject, saying quietly, "This method is generally unaffordable for most people, and they might not even dare to use it..."

"Ancient, what do you mean...?"

Lu Feng was stunned for a moment.

"Fight poison with poison."

Gu Canyang pondered for a moment, then said, "Ordinary methods are basically useless to neutralize the toxicity of the Crimson Flame Poison, and simply using Yuan Power to counteract it will have a negligible effect. Therefore, we can only use a stronger poison to neutralize it in order to have a glimmer of hope."

"Fighting poison with poison? And a poison even more potent than Crimson Flame Poison?"

Lu Feng's lips twitched slightly.

No wonder the other party said that this detoxification method is generally unaffordable for ordinary people, and they might not dare to use it.

After all, the Crimson Flame Poison itself originated from the mid-level Heaven-rank demon beast "Crimson Flame Scale Serpent". Ordinary martial artists who were infected would basically die. Now, if they wanted to cure the poison, they had to fight poison with poison, which was practically the same as suicide!

"Old man, do you have any other ideas?"

Lu Feng, still somewhat unwilling to give up, spoke again.

Not to mention that the other party's suggestion was too risky. With their current cultivation level, they were no match for the mid-level Heaven-rank demon beast, the Crimson Flame Scale Serpent, let alone find a poison even more potent than the Crimson Flame Poison.

Therefore, Lu Feng had no choice but to abandon the method of fighting poison with poison.

"There is indeed another way."

After a moment's thought, Gu Canyang said in a deep voice, "If we can find an antidote pill of grade nine or above, and supplement it with a Heart-Changing Grass, there is an 80% chance of being able to neutralize the Crimson Flame Poison."

"However, if I remember correctly, the Heart-Transforming Grass disappeared from the Misty Continent three thousand years ago. Its scarcity is no less than that of the Immortal-Nourishing Stone. Whether we can get our hands on it now depends entirely on luck."

"Moreover, although this little guy named Han Che deliberately destroyed his dantian to curb the spread of the Crimson Flame Poison, some of the Crimson Flame Poison still leaked out and penetrated deep into his bone marrow. At most, he can only live for four or five years."

Gu Canyang spoke slowly and deliberately, as if he had only glanced at Han Che and had already seen through his strength and background.

"Antidote pills of grade nine or higher, and the almost extinct Heart-Melting Grass..."

Hearing this, Lu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, and a person suddenly came to mind.

One of the Seven Fallen Stars of the past, an elder of the Pill Hall, but our paths diverge!

The other party is not only a Yuanhai Realm expert, but also an elder of the Dan Hall, one of the five halls of Luoxing Academy. Moreover, he has been immersed in the art of alchemy for many years. Perhaps he has some clues about the Heart-Transforming Grass and a way to resolve the Crimson Flame Poison!

"Looks like I'll have to go back to the academy and try my luck again..."

Having made up his mind, Lu Feng immediately withdrew his thoughts and looked at Han Che again. "Elder Han, although there is no cure for the Crimson Flame Poison in your body for the time being, I, Lu Feng, assure you that I will definitely find a way to cure you in the future!"

"This old servant bows in gratitude to Your Excellency, the Duke!"

Upon hearing Lu Feng's assurance, Han Che's expression changed slightly, deeply moved.

After all, he, the number one expert in Luochuan Prefecture, was nothing more than an old servant by Consort Ren Xuan's side. Now, Lu Feng, the future prince consort, not only valued him so much, but even planned to help him detoxify. Naturally, he was deeply moved!

After dealing with Han Che's matter, Lu Feng did not linger in the Qianqing Hall of the Imperial Palace, which had been reduced to ruins. He immediately bid farewell to Ren Tianxing and the others and left.

As for the corpses of the Yun family father and son, Lu Feng did not let them go either, and immediately packed them into his storage ring and took them away!

After all, the corpse of a first-level Yuanhai Realm expert, plus the corpse of a half-step Yuanhai Realm expert, is an invaluable treasure for Lu Feng, who possesses the Corpse Transformation Technique. This opportunity will not come again!

...

Seven days later, in a secluded courtyard within the forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace.

"ah...!"

A piercing scream, like that of a pig being slaughtered, echoed through the courtyard. The next moment, a strong young man with a bare upper body also knelt down. His handsome face was pale, and sweat was pouring down his forehead. His whole body was trembling and convulsing, as if he was in great pain!

"Damn it! This refining effect is too powerful! Even I almost couldn't withstand it...!"

The robust young man forced himself to stand up straight, then clenched his teeth and circulated the Nirvana Sutra to dispel the waves of pain emanating from his limbs. It was none other than Lu Feng, who was in seclusion for cultivation.

However, compared to a week ago, Lu Feng's Yuan Power aura was not only much stronger, but his cultivation level also stepped into the sixth level of the Spirit Soul Realm, his strength increased several times over, and he was not far from his next breakthrough!

"Phew! Looks like I can't refine too many corpses at once next time, or I might really lose my life..."

Letting out a heavy breath, Lu Feng stood up, a hint of lingering fear flashing across his face.

Although he had almost completely refined the corpses of the Yun family father and son during this secluded cultivation, even Lu Feng, whose physical body was comparable to a Xuan-grade magic weapon, was somewhat unable to withstand such a massive amount of life essence!

If Lu Feng hadn't possessed a massive dantian capacity, far exceeding that of ordinary martial artists of the same level, and a physical body comparable to a Xuan-grade magic weapon, he would have been burst apart by this enormous life essence long ago and died on the spot!

"Heh, I warned you long ago, kid, you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time, but you just wouldn't listen..."

The moment Lu Feng finished his cultivation, Gu Canyang's remnant soul slowly floated out of the treasure basin. He then stroked his long beard and said calmly, "Those who don't heed the advice of their elders will suffer the consequences. If it weren't for your solid cultivation and strong physique, you would probably be a corpse by now..."

"Old Gu, you're right. This time, I was indeed too hasty and overconfident...!"

Faced with Gu Canyang's reminder, Lu Feng abandoned his usual stubbornness and instead nodded slightly, looking embarrassed.

After all, he was only thinking about how to refine and absorb the corpses of the Yun family father and son to avoid wasting their resources. He didn't consider that his dantian couldn't absorb such a huge amount of life essence at once, and almost capsized in the end!

"Hehe, it seems your little lover is here again. I won't disturb you two any longer..."

Gu Canyang chuckled softly again, then vanished in an instant, seemingly disappearing back into the treasure basin.

Shh...!

The next moment, a slight breeze came from the courtyard entrance, and then a familiar figure in yellow robes stepped into the courtyard, catching Lu Feng's eye.

"Aunt Ren... uh, Consort Xuan, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing that the person who came was actually Ren Xuanfei, Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of surprise.

After the Yun family rebellion ended, the other party not only rejected Ren Tianxing's marriage proposal, but also went into hiding, as if he had vanished into thin air.

At first, Lu Feng thought that Ren Xuanfei was still angry with him, which was why she had been avoiding him. He never expected that she would take the initiative to come to him.

"What? You don't welcome me?"

Seeing Lu Feng staring at her with surprise, Ren Xuanfei frowned slightly, made a turn to leave, and said, "Alright, I'm leaving then!"

"No! Wait a minute!"

Seeing Ren Xuanfei turn to leave, Lu Feng panicked and quickly stepped forward, grabbing her delicate hand. "Xuanfei, I have something I want to say to you...!"

"Oh...!"

Lu Feng grabbed her hand tightly, and Ren Xuanfei exclaimed in surprise. Her pretty face flushed red instantly, and her whole body trembled slightly as if she had been electrocuted.

"Lu Feng, just say what you have to say..."

"I...I'm not leaving..."

Ren Xuanfei lowered her head slightly and spoke somewhat incoherently. Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, like a shy young lady meeting her beloved, completely devoid of the spoiled princess demeanor of the past.

"Consort Xuan, now that things have come to this, there are some things I no longer want to hide from you..."

Taking another deep breath, Lu Feng looked at Ren Xuanfei, who had a shy expression on her face, and said sincerely, "That's right, I really can't let go of Yun'er. Yun'er is not only my fiancée, but also the one I love..."

"But besides Yun'er, I also can't leave you...!"

Lu Feng spoke earnestly, his face full of sincerity, as if making a man's promise: "Xuanfei, my feelings for you are no less than for Yun'er, because you two are my most beloved and irreplaceable loves...!"

"So, can you trust me?"

"..."

Faced with Lu Feng's promise, Ren Xuanfei trembled slightly and fell silent, which was unusual for her, as if she was hesitant and had some complicated feelings.
