Chapter 7: Counterfeit Medicine and True Spirit

"That shake was really hard, I didn't feel anything at first, but now I just feel a lot of pain all over my body, and I feel like my bones are about to break."

After laughing loudly, Bai Ning lay on the platform for a while before recovering his strength, and after a short rest, he sat up with great difficulty, only to feel that his body was extremely painful, and his hands and feet were also a little sore.

After a moment's pause, he stood up and walked over to the tree he had cut and thrown, and bent down to rummage through the spirit fruit on the tree.

After rummaging, the spirit fruit was found by him, although the spirit fruit is still there, but one has been broken by half, and the other is generally intact but not very good-looking.

"If this is really a spiritual fruit, although you can treat Mu Jingchen if you go back like this, the old doctor can't explain it, go down the mountain and break open the snake's belly to see if you can pick up the leak there."

Bai Ning looked at the damaged spirit fruit on his hands, and then looked at the cliff where the big snake fell, and fell into deep thought for a long time, and then he came up with the idea of picking up the leak on the big snake.

Thinking of this, he walked to the edge of the platform and looked at the place where the big snake fell, took the spirit fruit in his arms, took out the remaining dagger in the medicine bag, tied it to his hand, and then carefully climbed down the mountain.

After some physical exertion and Bai Ning suffered some minor injuries when he was on the mountain, it was far more difficult to go down the mountain than up the mountain, and the time was almost close to dusk when he climbed down the mountain.

However, because the direction of the snake's fall has been preliminarily confirmed on the mountain, it is said that the efficiency of finding the snake's corpse after going down the mountain is much higher than blindly searching, and when the sun has not yet set, Bai Ning successfully found the snake's body.

After a struggle to fall from the platform, the big snake's body at this time was already broken, the dark green scale armor rolled down in many places, and the soft abdomen was also broken a few holes, the snake's body was full of dried blood, there were some small carnivores next to the big snake's corpse gnawing on its remains, and they fled when they saw someone coming.

"Tut-tut, that's miserable."

Looking at the ugly green snake, Bai Ning let out a sigh of emotion, and at the same time felt a burst of joy in his heart, thanks to his unhesitating move, otherwise he would only be more ugly than this big snake if he was bitten and fell off the cliff or swallowed in his belly.

Then Bai Ning began to disembowel the big snake, because he didn't know where the big snake's stomach was, Bai Ning simply turned the snake body over, sat on the snake, grabbed the dagger tied to his hand, and cut it from the snake's belly half to the tail, and the several wounds left when the snake body fell provided a lot of convenience for Bai Ning's behavior of dissecting the snake's abdomen.

However, after the broken snake belly, looking at all kinds of organs in the belly made Bai Ning stunned for a long time, shouldn't there be only food in the snake's belly? What are these bloody organs, as a last resort, Bai Ning groped for the organs in the snake's abdomen to see if he could find the fruit, and at the same time stabbed the organ that he thought might be the fruit's hiding place, just like that, after being stained with snake blood, Bai Ning had an extra fruit in his hand, and at the same time, there was also an irregular bead the size of a thumb that looked quite valuable in light green.

"Bastard, it's a lot of trouble to be dead, but fortunately I found a bead in your stomach that looks quite valuable, so I won't bother with you."

Looking at the bloody hands and blood-stained clothes and pants, after a burst of words to the big snake that had been disemboweled, Bai Ning stood up and walked quickly in the direction of Taiping Town while it was still dark.

Although Bai Ning had already walked fast, the speed at which the sun set was a few points faster than the speed at which he walked, and when Bai Ning had walked nearly half of the way, the sky was still dark after all, and tonight the black clouds covered the moon, and only countless stars shone in the sky, pointing out the way forward for Bai Ning.

Stars, no rain, strong wind, this is the true portrayal of tonight, and the fishy smell of blood condensed on Bai Ning's body also spread far away with this strong wind.

"As long as you don't run into wolves when you walk at night, the rest is easy to say."

Bai Ning thought so in his heart, and the hand of the dagger he was holding at the same time unconsciously clenched a little tighter.

Although he was always on high alert, fortunately Bai Ning did not encounter the attack of wolves as he expected before returning to Taiping Town.

After returning to Taiping Town, Bai Ning found the old doctor's medical hall.

"Knock knock, knock knock."

Bai Ning knocked on the door of the medical hall.

"Whoever knocks on the door in the middle of the night, is he here to seek medical treatment or medicine?"

After waiting for a long time, Bai Ning heard the familiar voice of the old doctor coming from the medical hall.

"It's me, the elixir has been found."

Bai Ning, who was outside the door, replied.

"Is it Mu Yeling boy? It's too fast to go in the day and come back in the evening. ”

The old doctor inside the door asked.

"Yes, the speed was indeed beyond my expectations, open the door."

Bai Ning replied.

Soon, the door panel was moved open by the old doctor, and looking at Bai Ning, who was covered in blood and holding a dagger, the old doctor couldn't help but take a few steps back, and almost knocked down the oil lamp placed next to his feet.

"Didn't you go to collect medicine? What's going on with the blood stains on your body. ”

The old doctor asked, a little frightened in his tone.

"It's nothing, it's just that on the way to collect medicine, a python attacked on the mountain, and I slaughtered it."

Bai Ning tried her best to put her tone casually, pretending to be relaxed.

"Good skills, really good skills, come in and talk about it, come in and talk about it."

Hearing Bai Ning say this, coupled with the fact that Bai Ning had also been taught the method by Mu Jingchen before, the old doctor was no longer suspicious in his heart, and his tone turned to joy and invited Bai Ning in, and then closed the door panel, picked up the oil lamp at his feet, and put it on the table at the counter of the medical hall, and continued the conversation with Bai Ning.

"Mu Yeling boy, take out this harvest and show it to me."

The old doctor said to Bai Ning with a little joy in his tone.

"It's these two half-spirit fruits."

Bai Ning took out the spirit fruit in his arms and placed it in front of the old doctor.

Looking at the two intact and broken spirit fruits in front of him, the old doctor was a little surprised at first, and then picked up one and looked at it carefully, after looking at the punch, he put down the fruit in his hand and went to the counter to take out a roll of cloth with silver needles, spread it out on the counter, and took out a silver needle from it, and pricked it on the fruit that had been half smashed.

The snow-bright silver needle was casually pierced into the fruit, and when it was pulled out, the original snow-bright needle body of the silver needle that came into contact with the fruit turned slightly black.

The old doctor frowned slightly, and brought the blackened silver needle to Bai Ning's eyes for him to see, and opened his mouth at the same time.

"If I'm not mistaken, this fruit should be the snake fruit produced around the poisonous snake, because I haven't seen such a big one before, so I'm not sure about it, and now I dare to make a conclusion with a silver needle, this fruit itself contains toxicity, ordinary people may cause poisoning if taken indiscriminately, but it may indeed work wonders for comprehensive snake venom, but it may be powerless for internal injuries."

"No way, the snake I encountered was turquoise, but with that long body, I could tell that it was definitely a python and not a poisonous snake."

Bai Ning said to the old doctor in disbelief.

"There is only one possibility, that is, the fruit is not a elixir, but the snake you killed is."

The old doctor said slowly.

"By the way, I found this from the belly of the snake."

Hearing this, Bai Ning took out the light green orb found in the snake's belly and placed it on the counter.

Looking at the beads that Bai Ning placed on the counter, the old doctor's eyes suddenly widened a little, and he hurriedly said to Bai Ning.

"This, Mu Yeling boy, you may have hit a big luck, although I haven't seen this, but it is indeed recorded in the ancestral classics, the snake belly is born, the whole body is the same color, the shape is different, and it is pregnant with a spirit. This thing may be a snake spirit, a treasure that may be able to be obtained by the psychic spirit snake for decades, if it is true, this is not only your luck but also my luck to prolong my life, only the size of a little finger can be enough to treat the injured immortal who was injured internally, and the remaining crystals will grind it into powder with all kinds of medicinal materials to reconcile you and me to share it with at least ten years of life. ”

"After that, it's easy to say, the top priority is to cure Mu Jingchen first."

Bai Ning said to the old doctor, and at the same time thought in his heart.

"Mu Jingchen, I can be said to be benevolent and righteous to you, this thing is a snake spirit, it's okay, if it weren't for the snake spirit, I would have abandoned my life for you, and you can't blame me for my efforts."
