" However, I heard that Elder Ximen was bitten by the Blazing Flame Snake because he went to pick medicinal herbs that had just ripened. If the medicinal herb he picked was the Blazing Flame Fruit, then the Blazing Flame Fruit would have already ripened by now. I'm afraid that it would have been eaten by the Blazing Flame Snake. If we look for the Blazing Flame Fruit now, even if we find it, it might not have ripened yet." Xuan Qing directly pointed out her worry.
"May I ask if the Blazing Flame Fruit is half a foot tall, about an inch in length, red in color, and has a flame pattern on it?”Ximen Yifei asked.
"Yes, that's right. Ximen Family Head has Blazing Flame Fruit?”Xuan Qing asked. If he had the Blazing Flame Fruit, it would be easier. With the Blazing Flame Fruit, he could easily detoxify the poison.
" Sigh, no. Second Brother told me that he found a strange fruit in the back mountain. He described it to me and he went to observe it every three days. The last time he came back, he was poisoned," Ximen Yifei said with a sigh.
It seemed that the Ximen family did not recognize the Blazing Flame Fruit. That was right. Blazing Flame Fruits were relatively rare to begin with, and their growth cycle was very short. Very few people knew about it. In his previous life, those scientists did not know how many plants there were on Earth even after studying them once. Although the Ximen family had a long history, perhaps no one in this world knew about the Blazing Flame Fruit. It was normal that the Ximen family did not know about it.
" Blazing Flame Fruit is the favorite food of Blazing Flame Snakes. However, Blazing Flame Fruit is even rarer and more precious than Blazing Flame Snakes. It usually grows on a single plant and bears fruit once a year. If there are Blazing Flame Snakes around, the Blazing Flame Snakes will definitely be beside the fruit when it ripens. I'm afraid that Elder Ximen has gone there many times in the beginning and didn't discover any danger, but he didn't expect the Blazing Flame Snakes to be beside the fruit when it ripens," Xuan Qing guessed with some emotion.
Xuan Qing's guess was right. Ximen Yiming had discovered this strange fruit. It was rich in spiritual energy and was prepared to pick it back for research after it matured. Therefore, he went to observe it every three days. All this time, he had not found any danger. On the day the fruit matured, he went straight to pick it and was bitten by the Blazing Flame Snake.
If it wasn't for his carelessness, the chances of the baby Blazing Flame Snake biting Ximen Yiming, who was at the late stage of the Xiantian realm, were relatively low, even though it was powerful.
"What is the poison pet that Taoist priest is talking about?”He probably knew that there was no hope for the Blazing Flame Fruit, so he asked Xuan Qing this question. Although Ximen Yiming was knowledgeable, he had never heard of a poisonous pet.
" A poison pet is a pet that can tame a highly toxic creature using a special secret technique. It's very helpful to both doctors and poison masters. If I can tame a more powerful poison pet, it won't be a problem for me to detoxify it," Xuan Qing explained.
"How long does it take to tame a poisonous pet? Also, how long would it take for the 1,000-year-old snow lotus priest to concoct the pill?”Ximen Yifei asked. At this moment, he didn't care about anything else. He only wanted to know how to save his second brother.
The Ximen family had a small population and had always been united. The relationship between their relatives was very good. Ximen Yifei really cared about his second brother. Xuan Qing could see this.
Xuan Qing pondered for a moment and said seriously,"If I have the 1,000-year-old Snow Lotus and other ingredients, I can concoct the pill in three days. However, I only have a 30% success rate. If I can find a complete 1,000-year-old Snow Lotus, it will definitely be enough for me to concoct the pill. If there is only a small amount, it would be best if it is no less than three pieces."
" As for raising poisonous pets, I don't have any experience. Maybe ten days to half a month, maybe a year or even longer. Also, it's best to find a highly poisonous creature with intelligence. It's easier to tame it. If it's not intelligent, it'll be difficult to tame it," Xuan Qing said after a pause.
" If that's the case, can I trouble Taoist priest and Jian Sheng to enter the mountains to search for poisonous creatures? I will send two Xiantian masters to go with you. Also, send a message to my eldest son to immediately go to Heaven Mountain to search for the snow lotus. Then, mobilize the people of our four great families to search for the poisonous creatures and the thousand-year-old snow lotus. What do you think, Taoist priest?" Ximen Yifei was very decisive and made a decision very quickly.
" Alright, taming a poisonous pet will require a large amount of highly toxic items. It's good to prepare it early. Also, I'll be entering the mountains tomorrow to look for the Blazing Flame Snake. I'll need to prepare some medicinal herbs. I'll write a list. I hope that Master Ximen will prepare it well." Xuan Qing also knew that the matter was urgent, so she prepared it in advance to avoid wasting time.
" Alright, thank you, Taoist priest. If Taoist priest doesn't mind, just call me uncle and don't call me master." Perhaps it was because there was hope for his brother's illness, Ximen Yifei also smiled.
" Then I'll accept it. Greetings, uncle. You can call me Xuan Qing." Xuan Qing accepted the offer readily. After all, he was the Family Head of one of the four great families and a Half-step Grandmaster. He was not inferior to the Void Pierce Stage and was also her good friend's uncle. It was only right for Xuan Qing to call him uncle.
"Humph!"
Ximen Xiaoxue was unhappy when she saw the two of them talking happily and ignoring her.
Xuan Qing ignored Ximen Xiaoxue's temper and walked to the desk. She wrote down the herbs she needed. There were two sets in total. One was the herbs used to make the Snow Lotus Pill, which was easier to find. The other was the herbs that Xuan Qing used to make the lure poison. There were two rare herbs in it, but Xuan Qing guessed that the Ximen family should have them. After all, it had been passed down for so many years.
As expected, Xuan Qing handed the written medicinal herbs to Ximen Yifei. Ximen Yifei looked at it for a moment and did not pay attention to it anymore. Clearly, the medicinal herbs on it were not much to the Ximen family.
However, Ximen Yifei was attracted by Xuan Qing's calligraphy." Good calligraphy, really good calligraphy. Xuan Qing, you're really a genius. Not only are you outstanding in martial arts and medicine, but your calligraphy is also so outstanding. Sigh, what good luck for breaking through to the Void Stage."
" What kind of good handwriting? What kind of good handwriting can the Little Daoist write? Let me see." Ignoring Ximen Yifei's sigh, the little girl Ximen Xiaoxue came forward to look at Xuan Qing's handwriting.
" Eh, you're quite capable, Little Daoist." The little girl was not someone who did not know what was good for her. Although she was usually a little temperamental, she had learned all the things that a young lady from a wealthy family should learn.
When the little girl saw Xuan Qing's handwriting, she looked at Xuan Qing in surprise. Her martial arts skills were better than hers, so it was nothing to her. The other people in the Ximen family were better than her in martial arts, so it was nothing to be good at medicine. The little girl did not have a specific understanding in this area, so she did not know how good Xuan Qing's medical skills were.
However, the little girl was good at calligraphy. Not only did she write well, but her appreciation of calligraphy was also not low. Naturally, she could see how high Xuan Qing's calligraphy level was. She immediately felt that Xuan Qing was much more pleasing to the eye. After all, the little girl could still slightly increase her impression of someone with ability.
However, he still refused to admit defeat. "He's just a little better than me. What's the big deal?" The little girl pouted and said unhappily.
" A little is good too," Xuan Qing said with a smile.
Ximen Yifei looked at the two people bickering, and a meaningful smile unconsciously appeared on his elegant face. Ximen Bufei couldn't help but think that if Xuan Qing became the son-in-law of the Ximen family, that would be the best choice.
It was common for the four aristocratic families to marry each other, but Xuan Qing was obviously much more outstanding than the young talents of the four aristocratic families.
