Chapter 677: Emergency
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Back at the Deserted World, Lu Li felt relaxed to breathe the air here. Before he knew it, he had already regarded the Deserted World as his home, his base camp.
It might be because of the people here. Or, it was because this was a retreat away from the turmoil of the world where he needn’t worry about the open and covert attacks on the outside. He felt at home to live here.
He teleported to the Snow Mountain of Dragons without making any stop. He didn’t go to the Inferno or see anybody. Yet, as he arrived at the Snow Mountain of Dragons, Ye Cha, Ming Yu and Lu Feixue were all here.
Meng Zhi and Chee-kar had been guarding the Snow Mountain of Dragons with their armies. Not even a mosquito could fly in. Learning that Lu Li came back, Bai Xiashuang came with Lu Feixue.
Lu Li didn’t tell them what he went through this time. He only gave a brief account and said that Lu Ling had controlled the Serenity Plains and everything was peaceful and that by some lucky, he bought the elixir to save Bai Qiuxue.
Bai Xiashuang burst into tears of joy and urged Lu Li to treat Bai Qiuxue. He was calmer and asked Ye Cha to invite the patriarch of the Shennong Race over.
The Abbot of the Great Buddhist Temple said that the three plants should be grounded into power and then boiled with water for Bai Qiuxue to take in order to be cured. She would sleep for several months or half a year on account that she would be weak. Still, Lu Li couldn’t afford to be careless. He must have some medical professionals to be here. Surprise was the last thing he wanted.
In less than half a day, Family Patriarch and the other patriarchs of the Shennong Race arrived. Lu Li asked Meng Zhi and Ye Cha to guard outside and kill anyone that dare to come close.
Then, together with the Family Patriarch of the Shennong Race, Bai Xiashuang, Chee-kar, and Lu Li went into the ice room and told the Family Patriarch of the Shennong Race about Bai Qiuxue’s situation.
Family Patriarch of the Shennong Race and his three patriarchs discussed for a while to get a plan ready. Lu Li was happy with it so he handed the Bodhi Fruit and the other two plants to them for them to make the potion.
The Family Patriarch of the Shennong Race took the matter into his own hands, fearing that the valuable elixirs would be damaged. Lu Li was watching on the side. Bodhi Fruit only ripens every hundreds of years. If the Family Patriarch of the Shennong Race damaged it, Lu Li would smash him to death.
After an hour, a potion with a beautiful smell was ready. The Family Patriarch of the Shennong Race carried it to the ice room with great care.
The formation in the ice room was deactivated to stop the gathering of cold air. The Family Patriarch of the Shennong Race himself cracked the ice outside of Bai Qiuxue bit by bit.
Lu Li, Bai Xiashuang, and Chee-kar stood on the side, holding their breaths and closing their mouths, fearing that one single sound would distract the Family Patriarch of the Shennong Race from curing Bai Qiuxue.
The ice was cracked. Bai Qiuxue’s bleached face was shown to Lu Li and all others. She was barely breathing and her body was still like a corpse.
The Family Patriarch of the Shennong Race and his patriarchs sprang to action. From their hands came a green glow that was pouring into Bai Qiuxue’s body slowly. Those were life energies that could bring vitality into a human and a chance of life. Even those on the verge of dying could prolong their lives a bit longer after getting this energy.
Bai Qiuxue looked better after a moment. She was still pale but no longer like a corpse.
The Family Patriarch of the Shennong Race took over the portion and fed her with it. The longer it was used, the less effective it would be. The Family Patriarch of the Shennong Race would love to pour more life energies into Bai Qiuxue but they had to feed her the potion now.
He fed her the entire bowl and used some warm water to clean off the potion. The patriarchs went on to pour life energies into her while the Family Patriarch checked her pulses and monitored her situation.
Time moved on. There was no more cold air in the room. Sweat was dripping off from Lu Li’s forehead. Bai Xiashuang grabbed Lu Li’s arm nervously and almost bit her lips.
The time for three incense sticks to burn passed and then an hour!
Three patriarchs were still pouring Bai Qiuxue with life energies. She was getting better and her breaths recovered. Lu Li and Bai Xiashuang were trembling with excitement. She looked at him and whispered, “She is okay. I can feel she is recovering now.”
Tears fell from her eyes. Veins popped out from her hand grasping his arm. She was shivering. Lu Li smiled and hugged her. She let all reservations go and put her hands around his waist while staring at Bai Qiuxue.
Two hours later, the three patriarchs stopped pouring life energy. They stood up but were shaking. They seemed to be 10 years older.
“Chee-kar, take the three patriarchs to rest. Give them any Mystical Materials they need to recover.”
Lu Li waved to her. She called over two people to help the three patriarchs go. The Family Patriarch of the Shennong Race, who had been sitting on the ice bed to check on Bai Qiuxue, opened his eyes, stood up, cupped his fists and said to Lu Li, “Saint Lord, she is stabilized now. The poison is dissolving. I think in a few days it will all be gone. But after so many years of being frozen, her bodily functions have been affected and she will need to recover slowly. I think she will wake up in three months and she will have to be nursed back to health for half a year.”
“Thank you so much, Family Patriarch Ding!”
Lu Li bowed and so did Bai Xiashuang. Both felt greatly relieved. The Family Patriarch of the Shennong Race wouldn’t joke about it. Bai Qiuxue was out of the woods.
Under the guidance of Ding Gui, the Family Patriarch of the Shennong Race, Lu Li carried Bai Qiuxue gently from the ice room to an adjacent castle and settled her on the bed in the room where Bai Xiashuang used to live in.
Ding Gui and the three patriarchs lived nearby. Lu Li and Bai Xiashuang were in the room at all time. Every few hours, Ding Gui would come in to check. But he didn’t give Bai Qiuxue any more life energies or elixirs.
Bai Qiuxue was weak now and many of her organs were damaged. To use strong tonics would do harm as she couldn’t take that yet.
Five days passed and Lu Li felt it had been five years. He even temporarily forgot about Little White.
Lu Li felt he could breathe again when Ding Gui was sure that the poison in Bai Qiuxue’s system was gone and she was recovering.
Bai Qiuxue’s breaths returned to the rate of a normal patient and she looked better now. Lu Li checked carefully. Her blood was circulating. She was okay now. It was only a matter of time before she could wake up.
After another five days, Bai Qiuxue was completely stabilized. Lu Li asked Bai Xiashuang to take care of her while he went out to check on other matters.
The news from Clouds Plains disappointed Lu Li. Little White was nowhere to be found and there was no clue. It was as if Little White and Fourth Patriarch of the Gu Family vanished into thin air.
Since so many were making the effort, it was useless to be anxious now. He had to wait. He began to cultivate. Once the time of 10 years was up, armies of the four forces would swarm over like packs of wolves. This matter hung over Lu Li’s head like a sword. He must make every minute count and cultivate.
Three days later, Ye Cha suddenly came to the room, which alarmed Lu Li. Ye Cha brought an urgent news with him—something happened at the Inferno. Some mysterious warrior came and the casualties among scouts were great.
