The reason why he learned to refine medicine was firstly because Xuan Qing would travel the myriad worlds alone in the future. Without the support of the Wudang Sect, she would be able to refine medicine on her own, which would be useful.
Secondly, his Space-Time Bead had a unique advantage in the cultivation of medicinal herbs. It was not a big deal for now. In the future, when Xuan Qing's martial arts improved, the flow of time and the amount of spiritual qi in the Space-Time Bead would be different from the outside world. It was too beneficial for the growth of medicinal herbs. Moreover, the Space-Time Bead was suitable for the survival of any medicinal herbs. It was too beneficial for the cultivation of some spiritual herbs that had harsh environmental requirements.
Xuan Qing wanted to increase her chances of survival by learning how to cultivate poison. Xuan Qing had no qualms about using poison. In his opinion, killing someone with a sword was no different from killing someone with poison.
As for saying that some martial arts experts were immune to poison, that was even more of a joke. Poison was one of the 3,000 Great Dao. Even saints could be poisoned, let alone some martial arts experts.
In the knowledge of poisons that Xuan Qing had read, the Blazing Flame Snake was one of the low-level ones. However, in the world of Laughing Proud, it was not so simple. The Blazing Flame Snake's poison was very strong. If an adult Blazing Flame Snake, even a master, was bitten, if it was not detoxified in time, it would not live for more than three days.
Xuan Qing had been in Wudang Mountain all this time, so she had little chance to come into contact with poisonous creatures and precious medicinal herbs. When she left the mountain this time, she heard that there was a Divine Doctor surnamed Zhou, so she befriended him. During this period, Divine Doctor Zhou asked Xuan Qing questions about the Blazing Flame Snake.
Xuan Qing told him everything she knew. In this world, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was relatively dense. Humans could cultivate, so there would always be some animals that were blessed by nature and could also absorb spiritual energy to cultivate. It was even more so for poisonous animals.
Many poisonous creatures cultivated by devouring other poisonous creatures. Xuan Qing had long wanted to catch a poisonous creature and refine it into a poisonous pet to become one of her trump cards.
It was relatively easy to refine a poison pet, but it was more difficult to cultivate a high-quality poison pet. First of all, the poison had to have a relatively high-level bloodline, even if the bloodline was thin, as long as it was high-level.
Secondly, raising poisonous pets required long-term feeding of other poisonous creatures. This was a more difficult problem. Generally, raising poisonous pets had to be done in the deep mountains and forests. Otherwise, the poisonous pets would have nothing to eat and all their efforts would be wasted. Xuan Qing had the Space-Time Bead. The poisonous creatures inside could feed the poisonous pets for a long time. Moreover, the poisonous pets were placed in the Space-Time Bead. If they came out to attack, no one would expect it.
Xuan Qing followed Ximen Jiansheng and traveled for three days before arriving at the Ximen family's encampment. The Ximen family had a long heritage and was probably not inferior to Shaolin. Xuan Qing had heard from Chongxu that the four great families of the martial arts world had been badly hit during the Yuan Dynasty. They only slowly recovered after the Ming Dynasty was established.
However, when Xuan Qing looked at the Ximen family's manor, it was beautiful, grand, and solemn. Moreover, this manor was probably no less than 300 years old. It was indeed worthy of being one of the four great families.
However, Xuan Qing did not have time to observe the Ximen family. Ximen Jiansheng brought Xuan Qing all the way inside and soon arrived at the residence of Ximen Jiansheng's father.
Xuan Qing and Ximen Jiansheng got along quite well during their journey. Both of them were young and talented. Ximen Jiansheng was a disciple nurtured by a large family. Other than having more rules, Xuan Qing could not find any flaws in him. The two of them quickly became friends.
On the way, Ximen Jiansheng had also explained this matter to Xuan Qing. The reason was that Ximen Jiansheng's father, Ximen Buming, had found a precious medicine. One day, he felt that the precious medicine was ripe, so he went to pick it. In the end, he was suddenly attacked and bitten by the Blazing Flame Snake guarding the medicine. After escaping all the way back to the Ximen family, he had been unconscious.
Fortunately, it was only a young snake. It was also fortunate that this place was not far from the herb picking area, only an hour's journey. In addition, the Ximen family had a famous doctor and precious herbs, which ensured that Ximen Buming did not die.
With Ximen Jiansheng leading the way, Xuan Qing soon met Ximen Buming.
Ximen Buming was lying on the bed, his face red and his entire body swollen. His breathing was barely discernible. Divine Doctor Zhou, who was chatting happily with Xuan Qing, was taking care of him by his side. However, what caught Xuan Qing's attention was a refined middle-aged man standing in front of the bed.
He looked to be in his forties or fifties, but Xuan Qing knew that he was definitely above sixty. His breathing was long and his aura was faint. Xuan Qing quickly concluded that he was a semi-master. This was because Xuan Qing had seen the same aura from the Chongxu and the other Half-Zongshi in Wudang Mountain.
Xuan Qing understood that this person was most likely the current head of the Ximen family, Ximen Bufei. She had heard from her master that the four great families had an average of one Half-Zongshi. Now that she had seen it for herself, the four great families were indeed extraordinary.
Sure enough, not long after Ximen Jiansheng entered, he said to the elegant middle-aged man,"Uncle, I've invited Taoist Master Xuan Qing." Then, he said to Xuan Qing,"Xuan Qing, this is my uncle, Ximen Bufei, who is also the head of the Ximen family."
" Not bad, as expected of a talented disciple of Wudang Sect. Taoist Chongxu has indeed taught a good disciple. I'll have to trouble Taoist Chongxu this time," Ximen Bufei said to Xuan Qing.
Xuan Qing also knew that saving people was more important, so she didn't delay. She said to Ximen Bufei," I'll try my best." She turned to look at Divine Doctor Zhou," How's the situation?"
Divine Doctor Zhou and Xuan Qing had been friends for a few days, but Xuan Qing did not know his name. Anyway, his medical skills were very good. Even if it was not as good as the famous killer Ping Yi, it was definitely not bad. Xuan Qing was very curious why the Ximen family did not go to Ping Yi. However, the treatment was more important now, so she could only suppress her curiosity.
" I can only control the poison of the young Blazing Flame Snake from invading my heart. I can only maintain it for a month at most. After that, I won't be able to do anything." Both of them had a general understanding of each other's medical skills. This was poisoning. It wasn't complicated, but it was difficult. The situation was clear as soon as they explained it.
Xuan Qing nodded,"I'll take her pulse first."
Xuan Qing walked straight over and took Ximen Buming's pulse. After a few breaths, Xuan Qing let go of his hand and closed her eyes as she started to think.
The situation was just as Divine Doctor Zhou had said. She was indeed poisoned by a young Blazing Flame Snake. The poison spread all over her body and only helped her heart. Xuan Qing was confident that she could use her internal energy and acupuncture to dispel a portion of the poison and delay the poison to attack her heart for three months. However, there was no way to completely detoxify it for the time being.
After a while, Xuan Qing opened her eyes and saw that everyone was looking at her with burning eyes. Their eyes were filled with anticipation, and even Ximen Bufei was no exception.
Xuan Qing didn't make them wait any longer and said," I'm confident that I can expel a portion of the poison and delay the poison's attack to three months. However, I haven't thought of a complete antidote yet. I need time to think about it."
Xuan Qing's words made the surrounding people happy and worried. They were happy that they could delay for another three months, but they were worried that Xuan Qing could not do anything for the time being.
Ximen Jiansheng's gaze was complicated. It seemed happy but also disappointed. Xuan Qing could understand it, but Xuan Qing saw hesitation in Ximen Bufei's gaze. It was as if he wanted to make up his mind but could not make up his mind.
After a while, Ximen Bufei said," Please remove a portion of the poison for Buming."
