Chapter 1526: Chapter 1526: Seeking a Cure (Part 2)
Qiao Jiaxi looked towards the door.
He saw the Emperor of Yin and Yang, dressed in a taoist robe of yin and yang, walk into the Sect Master’s Grand Hall, bow slightly to Ye Feng, and say, "Subordinate greets the Sect Leader."
"Greetings, Elder," Qiao Jiaxi bowed in return.
"No need for formalities. I only learned about your entry into the legendary ghostly condition through the Sect Leader’s transmission, and the situation does not look good."
The Emperor of Yin and Yang had a grave expression.
As an ancient powerhouse of the eighth Origin Era, he had seen cultivators in the ghostly state and knew some ancient pill recipes, which might not cure but could alleviate.
"Sect Leader, I know of a recipe."
The Emperor of Yin and Yang spoke, "This pill recipe cannot cure the ghostly state but can extend the time limit and reduce pain, potentially prolonging it by ten years."
"Ten years? That’s already quite good, extending the time by hundreds of times compared to now." Ye Feng looked at Qiao Jiaxi, "We will have hope."
"Mm." Qiao Jiaxi clenched his fists.
However, the Emperor of Yin and Yang wore a worried expression and said, "Sect Leader, the elixirs required for this pill recipe are not easy to find, as they are ancient items from the eighth Origin Era; they might be extinct in this age."
"Let me see if I can find them first."
Ye Feng stood up.
The Emperor of Yin and Yang said, "This recipe does not have a specific name, only recording seven types of spiritual herbs, namely Bi Ling Fruit, Molding Vein Grass... Saliva Jade Rock, and others, all of which are exceedingly rare ancient miraculous herbs."
"Do you know what they each look like? Also, what about the age requirements?"
Ye Feng quickly inquired.
The Emperor of Yin and Yang replied, "The higher the medicinal effect, the better. This is a very special recipe. If herbs of exceptionally high age are found, we could even delay Qiao Jiaxi’s ghostly condition by several decades or even a century."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng’s eyes lit up.
Without wasting any time, he compared the characteristics of these seven herbs with the Emperor of Yin and Yang and immediately spread the news that they could be exchanged for the Realm Source Treasured Bottle.
In just half a day, numerous herbs poured in.
"They are all collected!"
The Emperor of Yin and Yang was dumbfounded as he looked at the pile of various herbs filling the Sect Master’s Grand Hall, "These herbs are enough to be used by a hundred cultivators."
Ye Feng picked up a palm-sized piece of Jadeite.
This was the Saliva Jade Rock.
"I severely underestimated the value of the Realm Source Treasured Bottle. Just a call to the major forces, and the herbs were gathered, and it only took ten Realm Source Treasured Bottles."
Ye Feng couldn’t help but sigh.
He specifically sent messages to the Main Battle Faction of the Conspirator and top forces like the Ancient Dragon Court, Heavenly Emperor Lingtian, promising to trade with the Realm Source Treasured Bottle, and they immediately helped collect the herbs.
For this reason, these seven kinds of herbs were quickly collected, and in large quantities, enough for many uses.
"Next, I will personally brew the medicine for Jiaxi."
Ye Feng took out the seven herbs, including Saliva Jade Rock, and began refining them. In less than an hour, he successfully turned them into a bowl of light golden liquid medicine.
Qiao Jiaxi hurriedly drank it all in one go.
Ye Feng touched Qiao Jiaxi’s green hair and found it could finally be touched, though not completely solid, indicating that these herbs could only play a delaying role and not cure the ghostly state.
"At least there’s ten more years."
Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiao Jiaxi also nodded.
He believed that within ten years, with the Sect Leader’s help, he could successfully cure the ghostly state.
"However, this is just a delay, not a cure. It can’t just end like this. Next, I will take you to see the Tyrant Emperor and Spirit Venerable to see if they have any solutions."
Ye Feng put away the extra spiritual herbs.
"My master probably doesn’t understand this, does he?" Qiao Jiaxi scratched his head, "Although my master may understand it."
"The Tyrant Emperor is in Body Cultivation and might know some methods, while your master, the Spirit Venerable, has high comprehension and a vast collection of ancient books, so she might know something."
With that, Ye Feng and his party set out.
Three Thousand Realms, Dongzhou, Holy Spirit Sect.
"Sect Master Ye, long time no see."
Upon hearing that Ye Feng was coming, Holy Son Lin Kun and Holy Maiden Ning Yu of the Holy Spirit Sect quickly went to the mountain gate to welcome him.
"You’ve broken through quite fast!"
Ye Feng smiled.
After several years of not seeing them, Holy Son Lin Kun and Holy Maiden Ning Yu had both advanced to the Supreme Saint Realm, whereas a few years ago, they had just broken through to the Saint Realm, fully revealing that cultivation became simpler after entering the golden era.
This is the turning point of an era.
Even a pig could take off.
Holy Son Lin Kun bowed and said, "Sect Master Ye is joking. Compared to your disciples, we broke through at a turtle’s speed. Everyone knows that even the worst disciple of the Misty Sect is a Quasi-Saint!"
"Indeed!" Holy Maiden Ning Yu nodded repeatedly.
Lin Kun thought of something and asked, "Sect Master Ye, have you come to look for someone this time?"
"I’m looking for the Spirit Venerable and Tyrant Emperor, as I have an urgent matter to discuss." Ye Feng stated his purpose directly.
"Please follow me." Lin Kun quickly led the way.
...
Holy Spirit Sect, core area.
"What?!"
"Jiaxi has actually entered a ghostly state?"
Upon hearing about Qiao Jiaxi’s current situation, the Tyrant Emperor and Spirit Venerable surrounded him, examining him closely and finding the truth of the matter.
"This is not good news!"
The Tyrant Emperor spoke in a deep voice.
Spirit Venerable also wore a solemn expression, clearly understanding the ghostly condition.
"You both know about this condition?"
Ye Feng’s eyes flashed.
"Yes," the Tyrant Emperor nodded, "This is a condition that only pure Body Cultivators will develop. Since Body Cultivators are few, and those whose combat power reaches the limits are even fewer, encounters with the ghostly state are rare."
Spirit Venerable further explained:
"When a Body Cultivator’s combat power exceeds that of a Nine-Star King, that’s basically the limit. If power continues to increase, especially under excessive consumption of potential, it’s easy to enter a ghostly state."
"It’s an illness caused by excessive body exploitation."
"If Jiaxi had only increased his combat power to the Nine-Star King and not to the Nine-Star Pinnacle, and not excessively exploited his body, he wouldn’t have become ill."
Qiao Jiaxi suddenly understood.
This was how he got sick.
Ye Feng said, "I have already brewed a liquid medicine from Bi Ling Fruit, Molding Vein Grass... Saliva Jade Rock, and seven other herbs for Jiaxi. Within ten years, he won’t die from the ghostly state."
Spirit Venerable raised an eyebrow and said, "No wonder we just heard you exchanged Realm Source Treasured Bottles for these ancient spiritual herbs today; it was to alleviate the illness."
Qiao Jiaxi hurriedly grabbed the Spirit Venerable’s delicate white hand, anxiously asking, "Master, do you know how to save my life?"
Master!
These two words deeply touched Spirit Venerable’s heart. She looked at Qiao Jiaxi with increasingly gentle eyes and gently rubbed his head, saying:
"We don’t know a recipe, but the Tyrant Emperor and I were coincidentally researching ghostly states a few days ago and went through many ancient books. If you can find a spiritual herb named ’Void Fire Lotus’ and take it three times, to replenish body potential, there’s a ninety percent chance of recovery."
"So, I can be saved?" Qiao Jiaxi’s breath hitched, overwhelmed with excitement.
"Void Fire Lotus? That rarity?"
The Emperor of Yin and Yang silently thought it was not good.
"That spiritual herb is indeed a rarity," Spirit Venerable said seriously as she looked at Qiao Jiaxi, "Jiaxi, you must be mentally prepared, because this herb is extremely rare, and you can’t find it just by wanting to."
"Mm." Qiao Jiaxi nodded.
Having taken the medicine brewed from Bi Ling Fruit and other spiritual herbs, he could live for another ten years, so he didn’t need to worry excessively; at least, he had some time.
"Void Fire Lotus! With ’Void’ in its name, could it possibly be related to Ling Zhiwei’s homeland, the Space Saint Island?"
Ye Feng thought of this point.
