On the eve of death, I raised a boss

After the explanation, Gu Qingchen led Liu Qingxin and walked towards the herbal medicine shop according to the route marked on the map. With the map given by the innkeeper, Gu Qingchen and Liu Qingxin soon arrived at the location of the herbal medicine shop marked on the map. Before they got close, Gu Qingchen smelled a faint herbal fragrance. Liu Qingxin, who was beside him, was also invaded by a faint fragrance. She couldn't help but hold Gu Qingchen's hand and sighed: "Brother Qingchen, the herbal fragrance here is so strong." "Well, it looks like we're almost there." The two quickened their pace. After a while, they stopped in front of a plaque with four golden characters "Wanmin Yaozhai" engraved on it. "We're here."

After the words fell, the two pushed open the door, and the wind chimes at the door made a crisp sound.

As soon as you walk into the herbal medicine shop, you can see all kinds of herbs, and the shelves are full of them. But strangely, there is no one at the counter.

Gu Qingchen searched for a long time, but didn't see a single figure.

"Excuse me, is there anyone here?"

"Strange. How can there be no one in this herbal medicine shop?"

Gu Qingchen circulated his spiritual power, sensing the surroundings, and found two breaths in the backyard.

But one of them was extremely weak, as if it would dissipate at any time, which made Gu Qingchen curious.

"Qingxin, you play here for a while, I'll go look for someone nearby."

"Well, I'll wait for my brother to come back."

After comforting Liu Qingxin, Gu Qingchen gently pushed open the door next to the herbal medicine shop and walked into the yard behind the shop.

"Excuse me, are you still selling herbs here?"

At this time, he felt that the people in the house in the backyard were walking out of the door.

"Sorry, we are temporarily closed here."

Gu Qingchen looked at the visitor, who was about 70 or 80 years old, and felt the pressure emanating from the old man.

Through the pressure, he guessed that the old man in front of him had the strength of the middle stage of the Jindan period.

"This customer, please go back."

The old man ordered the young man in black to leave.

The breath coming from the house next to him gradually became weaker and weaker.

At this time, Gu Qingchen was closer to the room and felt that the weak breath was emanating from a girl.

The girl was like an oil lamp without oil and coal, and her life breath gradually disappeared, just like the flame on the oil lamp, as if it would go out immediately in the next moment.

Gu Qingchen, who had the experience of a top alchemist, immediately realized that the girl was poisoned.

And in about three days, the poison will penetrate into the bone marrow.

If she doesn't take the detoxification pill, the poison will penetrate into the bone marrow, and the girl will die within seven days.

Gu Qingchen asked the old man who had ordered him to leave in a deep voice:

"Old man, my name is Gu Qingchen. I feel that the girl in the room behind you has been poisoned to the bone marrow."

"I can remove the poison from the girl in the room behind you. If the poison has penetrated into the bone marrow, the girl in the room can only survive for seven days at most. Are you sure you don't need help?"

The old man who was about to enter the room turned around and ran over to hold Gu Qingchen's hand when he heard what Gu Qingchen said.

"Can you really remove the poison from my granddaughter?"

Gu Qingchen nodded without comment.

With all the experience of an alchemist, he had at least three kinds of elixirs in his mind that could remove the poison from the girl.

"What do you want in return? I have nothing but medicinal materials here."

Seeing the old man in front of him take the bait, Gu Qingchen smiled slightly.

"I have no other request, I just came here for some medicinal herbs."

"Okay, as long as you promise to save my granddaughter, everything will be fine."

"Come with me into the house and talk."

Then, Gu Qingchen followed the old man in front of him into the room.

The old man opened the gauze curtain beside the girl's bed and saw a circle of bandages wrapped around the girl's right leg.

The girl's face was pale, her lips were bloodless, and her forehead was sweating.

There was a scar on her left arm that looked like a snake bite. The wound was slightly black, and it should be a bite from some kind of spirit snake.

After Gu Qingchen saw it, he roughly guessed what the bite was, and thought of what kind of detoxification pill would be most suitable.

"I can detoxify your granddaughter, but I don't have any herbs."

"As for the detoxification, my condition is..."

The old man waiting on the side heard that the man in front of him could detoxify his granddaughter.

Before Gu Qingchen could say the conditions, he hurriedly interrupted.

"What medicinal herbs do you want? I'll give them to you right now."

"Save my granddaughter first. As long as you can cure her poison, I swear to the heavens. The herbs will follow.

You can mention it. "

Gu Qingchen watched the old man in front of him hurriedly swear an oath to heaven, and didn't say much, nor was he afraid that he would not abide by it.

In this world, anyone who swears an oath to heaven will violate the oath of heaven.

Those who swear the oath will be plagued by bad luck forever and will not be able to make any progress in their cultivation.

Human life was at stake, so Gu Qingchen did not hesitate too much, and immediately began to search in his mind for a relatively simple elixir formula that did not contain too many rare medicinal materials.

After all, my foundation is damaged and my cultivation level is only at the early stage of pill formation. Advanced detoxification pills cannot be refined with my current cultivation level.

And if the medicinal materials are too high-end, they may not be available here.

After a while, he found the suitable formula for the fourth-grade elixir, and said to the old man in front of him:

"Then bring the medicinal materials I want."

"They are: Hanzhixueye, Snowmelt Orchid, Gentian Leaf, Night Epiphyllum..."

"Okay, I'll go to the medicine store and get it for you right now."

After saying that, the old man in front of Gu Qingchen hurriedly ran out of the house and went to the medicine storehouse to look for the medicinal materials just mentioned.

Then Gu Qingchen went out and brought Liu Qingxin, who was still waiting outside, into the house.

After Liu Qingxin was brought into the room, she saw a girl three or four years older than herself lying on the bed.

Looking at the girl on the bed, her face was pale and without any blood, and she asked with a worried look:

"Brother Qingchen, this sister looks so weak...she looks so painful...just like my father and mother back then...can you save her?"

"Don't worry, brother will definitely cure her."

Gu Qingchen gently stroked Liu Qingxin's head and comforted her softly.

After all, I haven't gotten the medicinal materials I want, so how could I go so easily and go in vain?

After comforting him, Gu Qingchen took out the Xuanlong Cauldron sent by the system from the system space.

Suddenly, a pitch black furnace appeared on the ground in the backyard.

There is a hollow round mouth on each side of the furnace tripod, and the furnace body is engraved with various strange patterns. Four dragon head statues are carved on the top of the furnace tripod.

At this time, the old man who took medicine from the medicine store ran over with the medicinal materials in his hands.

"These are the medicinal materials you need...are these enough?"

After taking all the medicinal materials, I took a look and saw that there were no problems.

Then he placed it on one side and said:

"Well, these medicinal materials are enough."

At this time, the old man noticed the furnace cauldron behind Gu Qingchen. He couldn't help being shocked and asked:

"Are you an alchemist?!"

After all, in Tianyan Continent, alchemists are the most scarce profession.

As a doctor, his ultimate dream when he was young was to become an alchemist.

Unfortunately, because of his lack of understanding, no one wanted to accept him as his disciple, so he could only become a doctor.

Gu Qingchen did not answer, and started to refine the fourth-grade elixir according to the memory in his mind.

He used his spiritual power with all his strength, and red flames instantly burst out from his fingertips. With a flick of his fingers, a cluster of flames immediately fell into the furnace. With a swish sound, a raging flame burned inside the furnace.

The originally dark room was brightened by the flames, and the darkened furnace slowly turned red.
