Chapter 451: Chapter 453: Middle-level Mortal Alchemist (Part 2)
Just as Mu Ruyue was about to say something, an angry voice came from behind her.
“What can a mere girl like her do?”
As the voice spoke, an elderly figure barged in from outside the door.
The old man glared furiously, his eyes filled with resentment as he stared at Mu Ruyue and snorted coldly, “You say you can cure the Fourth… Fourth Prince?”
Mu Ruyue raised her eyebrows slightly, “I didn’t say I was 100% certain, I only have an 80% confidence that I can heal him.”
“Ha ha!” The old man threw his head back and laughed, his gaze shifting toward Xuan Yuan beside him, “Sir, this girl is young and overconfident. Aren’t there few like her in the Empire? To believe her would be to push the Fourth Prince down the road to the Netherworld. I already have a method to save the Fourth Prince; there’s really no need for her to intervene.”
Xuan Yuan seemed taken aback for a moment, then soon after, deep joy filled him, “Master Wushan, are you speaking the truth? You really have a way to save him?”
“Indeed,” Master Wushan nodded, confidently asserting, “I have successfully refined this Elixir, and now all we need to do is to have the Fourth Prince take it, and it will cure his illness.”
As his words finished, he opened his palm, and suddenly an Elixir appeared in his grasp.
The moment Xuan Yuan saw the Elixir, his eyes lit up, his breath caught, and he exclaimed with surprise, “Master Wushan, can this Elixir truly eliminate the Corpse Worm Poison?”
Wushan nodded, his tone proud, “I have poured over many texts recently and finally found the method to refine the antidote. Sir, quickly administer the Elixir to the Fourth Prince; perhaps he will be cured immediately.”
“Good, good!”
Xuan Yuan nodded excitedly, his expression full of joyful anticipation, yet at this moment, a very unpleasant remark came, “If he takes this Elixir, he will be dead on arrival at the Netherworld.”
Wushan’s face stiffened, and a fiery anger blazed in his eyes. Even Xuan Yuan frowned, somewhat displeased.
This woman seemed to be blind to the situation. How could an Elixir refined by Master Wushan be wrong? He had thought she was someone of significance…
“Are you saying my Bone Transformation Pill is poison?” Wushan, furious to the point of laughing, spoke coldly, “Girl, this is a formula I found in ancient texts that I spent a great deal of time researching successfully, and it has already been tested on humans. How dare you slander me like this?”
Without absolute certainty, would he dare to administer the Elixir to the Fourth Prince?
Mu Ruyue smiled coldly. If not for the Corpse Worm Poison, she couldn’t be bothered to meddle. This poison was too important to her; otherwise, even if that man died, it would have nothing to do with her.
“The methods from the ancient texts are indeed correct, unfortunately, your Alchemy skills are not yet up to par. You switched the order of two medicinal herbs. If it were any other Elixir, such a mistake would only diminish its potency, but this Elixir is deadly enough to kill!”
Wushan’s face turned ashen. He was a Middle-level Mortal Alchemist, and this girl was saying his Alchemy skills were insufficient?
“Miss,” Xuan Yuan intervened with a furrowed brow, speaking discontentedly, “I am grateful that you came here for my son, and I understand your displeasure, but Master Wushan is a Middle-level Mortal Alchemist. He would certainly not make a mistake. As for you, Miss, I will provide compensation, so you will not be at a loss.”
Mu Ruyue chose not to say much more, offering only a faint smile, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. When you administer the Elixir to him, it’s best to prepare some fresh blood of a Fire Wolf. Otherwise, it will be too late for regrets.”
