Chapter 790: Chapter 791: There is Another Scheme! (1 more)

Lee Qingling poured an elixir out of the porcelain bottle, flicked it with his finger, and popped a dark green pill into the mouth of the snarling Blood Spirit Corpse.

Then, he brought two fingers together and rapidly pressed several times on the chest of the Blood Spirit Corpse, helping the pill slide down the throat.

In less than a moment, the power of the medicine spread throughout the body of the Blood Spirit Corpse. The originally ferocious Blood Spirit Corpse’s eyes began to lose their blood-red color and slowly regained a trace of clarity.

"Who... who... who am I?"

After regaining consciousness, the Blood Spirit Corpse slowly began to utter coherent human speech, but its consciousness seemed quite vague, and it didn’t clearly remember who it was.

"Once this Detoxification Pill is swallowed, it can slowly neutralize the intense poison of the Blood Corpse. At most in half a month, he will be able to remember everything and return to normal."

Lee Qingling smiled faintly, stimulated his internal Primordial Qi, and with a hand formed like a blade, he cut through the shackles and fetters binding the Blood Spirit Corpse.

Although the gaze of the Blood Spirit Corpse remained somewhat vacant, it had lost its aggressiveness and merely stood quietly on the spot, murmuring to itself, repeating questions like "Who am I?", "Where is this?", and so on.

"Hahaha, indeed, it’s a success!"

General Sun stroked his mustache and laughed heartily, "Mr. Lee really has profound medical skills; it looks like the intense poison of the Blood Corpse has indeed been neutralized."

Jin Weide stepped forward to examine the revived Blood Spirit Corpse. He took his pulse and looked at his tongue and eyes for a long while, finally nodding in approval, "Correct, just as Mr. Lee said, he has regained the normal pulse and characteristics of a human. Once the poison of the Blood Corpse completely disperses from his body, he will fully recover his senses."

"What do you think?" Lee Qingling squinted his eyes, looking towards Ling Feng with a smug expression, "Friend Ling Feng, wouldn’t you like to check and see if my Detoxification Pill is effective?"

"Since Doctor Jin has already examined him, why should I unnecessarily repeat the process?"

Ling Feng touched his nose. This man obviously wanted to get back at him for the public humiliation he had suffered last time, proving his medical skills were superior to Ling Feng’s through this event.

What he did not know was that Ling Feng had already successfully concocted the antidote earlier, but it had all been a ruse to lure the snake out of its hole.

Indeed, Lee Qingling had shown up, but whether he truly was the Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch was still up for debate.

"Haha, good, very good!"

General Sun nodded, "Mr. Lee’s medical skills are remarkable and truly extraordinary. Of course, Brother Ling is also impressive, but as the saying goes, experience counts; Mr. Lee is indeed older and more seasoned."

General Sun was a shrewd one, flattering both sides without faulting any.

Lee Qingling grinned, "Actually, with the medical skills of young friend Ling Feng, he is definitely not inferior to me. I was merely luckier! Moreover, with young friend Ling Feng’s youth, given time, his medical skills will certainly surpass mine."

With these words, Lee Qingling’s senior demeanor shone through without a doubt, earning deep respect from General Sun.

Ling Feng sneered internally, suppressing the urge to retch.

It had to be said, this guy’s acting skills were truly top-notch; no wonder he could act as Elder Heiyu’s spy and stay undetected by the Great Elder’s side for so many years.

"Although the Detoxification Pill has been concocted, there’s still the most critical issue ahead; how do we produce this elixir in large quantities?"

General Sun’s brow furrowed again. With millions of Blood Spirit Corpses throughout the Sixteen Cities of the Western Wilderness, producing such a vast amount of pills was not a small matter in terms of manpower or financial resources.

"The difficulty of refining this Detoxification Pill is not high; any Fire Element Martial Artist can do it. The biggest issue is actually gathering the medicinal herbs needed for the detox."

Lee Qingling said eagerly, "Coincidentally, I happen to know of an oasis about eight hundred li to the west of Rock Castle, which grows large amounts of Moon Shadow Fragrance, the main ingredient necessary for concocting the Detoxification Pill."

"Oh?" Sun Gongming’s smile grew even wider, "Excellent, excellent, excellent! Mr. Lee, you truly are a great benefactor to this commander!"

"It’s nothing really, being a doctor and able to assist the General in saving so many lives is in itself a supreme act of merit."

Lee Qingling offered a faint smile and then nodded towards Ling Feng, "Brother Ling, the oasis is not too far from here, and there are plenty of spirit flowers and herbs. I think you might be interested as well. Would you care to join me on this trip?"

"Go, of course I’ll go!"

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and spoke indifferently, "Since Mr. Lee sincerely wishes to invite me, if I were to hold on to past events and harbor prejudices against him, wouldn’t that be a bit too petty?"

"Hehe, if Brother Ling can think this way, that puts me at ease."

Lee Qingling laughed heartily, thinking to himself: In the end, he’s just a greenhorn! Ling Feng, oh Ling Feng, soon, you will become a fierce warrior under my command!

Subsequently, Lee Qingling discussed with Sun Gongming about how to proceed to the oasis.

After a thorough discussion, Sun Gongming finally decided that the next day at noon, each of the Sixteen Cities’ garrisons would select two hundred soldiers to accompany Lee Qingling to the oasis for herb gathering.

And as the leader of this operation, he would naturally go along as well.

That Sun Gongming was known for his swift and decisive style, and immediately dispatched fifteen scouts, carrying his personally signed military orders, to mobilize the troops.

The herb gathering trip to the oasis was set in stone.

"Alright, everyone has worked hard today. Doctor Jin, since you and Mr. Lee come from the same school, there must be a lot to catch up on. Please take Mr. Lee to settle down. Later, I will personally reward Mr. Lee! After we return from herb gathering, we must drink with Mr. Lee until we are all thoroughly inebriated!"

"For sure, for sure."

Lee Qingling smiled faintly and left the commander’s tent with Jin Weide.

"General Sun, we will also take our leave now."

Ling Feng gave Sun Gongming a bow and left the commander’s tent with Tuoba Yan and the others. However, before departing, he warned Sun Gongming using the Sound Transmission into Seclusion technique: Be wary of Lee Qingling!

Sun Gongming’s expression changed slightly, watching Ling Feng and the others leave, he muttered to himself, "What does Ling Feng mean by this?"

...

Before long, Ling Feng and his companions returned to their temporary military tent. Tuoba Yan finally couldn’t hold back and asked, "Ling Feng, do you really trust that Lee Qingling? That guy, he’s no good!"

"Shh..."

Ling Feng made a silencing gesture and set up a soundproof barrier around them before speaking softly, "Careful, the walls have ears."

"Huh?"

Jiang Xiaofan and the others’ eyelids twitched slightly, "Big brother, what do you mean?"

"That Lee Qingling, he’s undoubtedly harboring evil intentions."

Ling Feng touched his nose. It would have been somewhat understandable if Lee Qingling had merely left behind a recipe for the Detoxification Pill, indicating that he wanted to gain merit by serving the court. But for him to take the troops to gather herbs out of the kindness of his heart was somewhat intriguing.

If his speculations were correct, that so-called oasis must be a trap designed to annihilate this elite force in one fell swoop. By then, not to mention being unable to rid of the Blood Spirit Corpse calamity, even those garrisoned troops would likely be doomed.
