Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 810 - 303: Played to Ruin
Li Shao opened the medicine bottle and saw that the antidote he had bought for fifty thousand Purple Gold Coins was actually the wild fruit he had seen earlier when he entered the mountain.
This red wild fruit, the size of Buddha Beads, was everywhere in the mountains and was not valuable at all.
He couldn’t believe Yun Sheng was using this wild fruit to pass off as an antidote.
Li Shao’s shout alarmed everyone from the Five Great Forces, and aside from Dugu Xiu, everyone, upon discovering the antidote was just a little wild fruit, had expressions twisted in anger and outrage, looking thoroughly duped.
At this time, Yun Sheng was still meditating.
Upon hearing the mountain-shaking yell, Yun Sheng calmly exhaled a breath of turbid air, finishing her meditation.
"Second Prince, it’s not good to be so irritable so early in the morning," Yun Sheng took out a small wild fruit, "This is the antidote. I never said the antidote was an elixir I brewed. Since entering the mountain, how could I have possibly brewed an elixir?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"However, I guarantee that after eating this small wild fruit, you can pass through Sea and Sky successfully. If you don’t believe me, I can demonstrate, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll fully refund everyone’s money," Yun Sheng said, intending to toss the wild fruit into her mouth.
"Wait!"
"With one voice, Ye Beiming and Dugu Xiu simultaneously spoke up, urgently grabbing Yun Sheng’s hands from both sides.
"I will try it first."
"I will try it first."
Ye Beiming and Dugu Xiu exchanged a glance.
No matter if the wild fruit was the antidote or not, neither wanted Yun Sheng to be the first to risk crossing ’Sea and Sky.’
By now, even a blind man could see the strange relationship between the three of them.
One was the Beiming Prince of Great Zhou, the other was the Crown Prince of Hou Qin, fighting for a woman and competing to take the risk.
"You two are noble and delicate, let me do it," said Qi, who had been silently standing aside, making a surprising move.
He swallowed a small wild fruit and walked straight towards ’Sea and Sky.’
"Qi," Yun Sheng’s hands were still held by Ye Beiming and Dugu Xiu, and in a hurry, she freed herself and ran forward to try and stop Qi.
"It’s alright," Qi shook his head and resolutely walked forward.
He was neither a Crown Prince nor a Prince; he was just an ordinary man who wanted to silently protect the woman he adored.
This time, let him do something for Yun Sheng.
Qi’s excessively refined face showed little hesitation.
He approached ’Sea and Sky’; although his physique wasn’t as tall as Ye Beiming or Dugu Xiu, at this moment, he possessed a unique charm.
Qi was half-propped against the mountain wall, slowly moving forward.
Initially, his steps were somewhat slow, but as time passed, he moved more quickly.
After walking for about a mile, he enhanced himself with Wind Magic, increasing his speed.
After walking another five to six miles, Qi called out to Yun Sheng and the others: "Everything’s fine. You can come over."
The Mainland Elite Camp erupted in cheers of joy.
Lan immediately adjusted the formation; she and Yun Sheng were in the middle, Ye Beiming in front, Dugu Xiu behind, and the group moved towards ’Sea and Sky.’
Seeing the Mainland Elite Camp and Hou Qin people pass ’Sea and Sky’ smoothly, the remaining people felt much more at ease.
Tian Yiyu and Zhou Qingchuan followed in the second group.
Next were the people from Xianju Country, including Huo Yu.
Cheng Bai and others quickly followed.
Ru Yi from the Magic Temple and others also went over.
Until almost everyone had passed, Li Shao still wore a sullen expression.
With Ye Beiming and Dugu Xiu’s backing, he didn’t dare openly trouble Yun Sheng.
"Second Prince, should we follow them?" Ke Ling, seeing Li Shao’s demeanor, fearfully asked, gathering courage.
"Follow what? Go and gather more wild fruits," Li Shao was infuriated to the point of almost having a stroke.
He had been completely set up by Yun Sheng.
Even though they had walked two or three miles, following the wind, Yun Sheng still heard Li Shao’s furious cursing.
They had already walked for a while, and after neutralizing the poison of the Taiyuan Tree, no one encountered danger along the way.
’Sea and Sky,’ at first difficult to walk, became easier towards the end.
Yun Sheng could even chat as she walked forward.
Beside Yun Sheng was her Senior Sister Lan.
Yun Sheng’s actions this time greatly impressed Lan.
Earlier, Lan thought Yun Sheng only had talent in magic potions, unexpectedly, she was also skilled in Ancient Medical Skills.
"Yun Sheng, how did you know that wild fruit was the antidote?" Lan accompanied Yun Sheng to find the Taiyuan Tree.
After Yun Sheng confirmed the Taiyuan Tree, she didn’t leave immediately but searched around the forest, then collected over a hundred small wild fruits and packed them in medicine bottles.
"It’s simple, Senior Sister Lan. When you entered Taiyuan Mountain, you must have noticed many birds perch on the Taiyuan Tree. They roost there for years without being poisoned. I thought they must have eaten the antidote. Sometimes, Demon Beasts are much more perceptive than humans."
In her previous life, Yun Sheng studied Chinese medicine from a young age.
According to Chinese medicine theory, yin and yang complement each other. Wherever there are toxins, there must be something that counteracts them.
Where poisonous snakes are found, there will be medicinal herbs to suppress their poison.
This is nature’s most mysterious rule.
With this idea in mind, Yun Sheng searched the forest and discovered that the lowest part of the Taiyuan Tree had reddish small wild fruits with marks where birds had pecked.
After confirming the wild fruit was non-toxic, Yun Sheng found that her mind cleared significantly after eating the fruit, so she felt confident collecting them.
As for selling the wild fruit at a high price, it was an idea she came up with spontaneously.
Tang Yuan and Li Shao from Hou Qin, Dugu Xiu, Ru Yi from the Magic Temple—all wealthy individuals.
If she didn’t seize the opportunity to make a fortune, she’d be a fool.
Yun Sheng’s words fell clearly into Dugu Xiu’s ears without missing a word.
Lady Chi Bi, standing beside him, seized the chance to say, "Crown Prince, I’ve told you, that woman is very clever."
But looking at Dugu Xiu, his eyes had no sign of displeasure; instead, his usually cold face surprisingly bore a hint of a smile.
Yun Sheng, you are indeed the woman this Crown Prince has chosen.
Zhou Qingchuan shook his head as he watched; Yun Sheng’s methods he had already experienced.
But after a few years, Yun Sheng seemed even more cunning, and he wondered where she learned those tricks.
Thinking that Li Shao was indeed unlucky, first being conned by Ye Beiming out of a Purple Gold Mine, and now losing a significant sum because of Yun Sheng.
Well, well, are Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming birds of a feather?
The perilous ’Sea and Sky,’ with Yun Sheng’s lifesaving "elixir," was finally crossed with a sense of danger but without incident after a whole afternoon of walking.
"We finally completed it. This broken road almost scared little me’s heart right out," Cheng Bai couldn’t help but complain after stepping off Sea and Sky onto more normal mountainous terrain.
