Chapter 187 A Difficult Mission

At this moment, Lu Linger asked Mo Dong to take out her specially prepared Hundred Flowers Detoxification Pill and had the Crown Prince take it first. She also distributed one pill to the people present. Lu Linger quickly wrote down the prescription on the table nearby, checked it, and handed it to Mo Dong. "Mo Dong, quickly contact the doctor in the city and have him prescribe the medicine according to this prescription. Once the medicine is prepared, provide free medical treatment and medicine at various locations around the city gates."

Mo Dong glanced at Gu Yichen, secretly grateful that he had already prepared for this emergency. Although Gu Yichen had lost his memory, his calmness and foresight remained clear. But when Mo Dong carefully examined the prescription, his heart tightened.

This prescription lists various medicinal ingredients in detail: Isatis root clears heat and detoxifies, Houttuynia cordata is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, dandelion is diuretic and detoxifies, Bletilla striata stops bleeding and promotes tissue regeneration, Scutellaria baicalensis reduces swelling and relieves pain, Licorice coordinates all the medicines, Atractylodes macrocephala strengthens the spleen and replenishes Qi... and the most critical one is the soul-devouring blue ice flower.

Soul-devouring Blue Ice Flowers grow in ice caves in extremely cold lands, blooming around icy pools. Harvesting them is extremely demanding; the flowers' medicinal properties reach their peak only on a cold winter night, when the moon is at its highest point.

Mo Dong's memories returned to that mysterious cave. As he and Gu Yichen journeyed in search of the Soul-Devouring Blue Ice Flower, the cave's icy atmosphere seemed to freeze the soul. Every step was accompanied by a pause in breath, a chill like a knife piercing the bone marrow. The icy blue ice pool resembled a dreamlike mirror, a thick layer of ice forming on the surface. A faint blue light shimmered beneath the water, resembling a sea of stars. And the Soul-Devouring Blue Ice Flower, like a blue gem embedded in the ice, emanated a mysterious glow.

Mo Dong's heart tightened at the thought. Herbs like these were not only rare, but also fraught with danger. However, to save the city's poisoned citizens, he had no other choice.

He immediately summoned his five brothers—Mo Yan, Mo Xian, Mo Nan, Mo Xi, and Mo Bei—along with Bai Yu and Bai He. They formed an elite force of fifty black-armored cavalrymen and rushed to the mysterious ice cave. Along the way, they traversed treacherous mountains, encountered ferocious ice and snow beasts, and overcame numerous obstacles. Time was running out, and every second felt like a life-or-death countdown.

When the team finally reached the cave, the cold intensified. Deep within the cavern, a pool of ice flickered with a faint blue light, and moonlight shone through the cracks in the ice. It was the perfect time to pluck the Soul-Devouring Blue Ice Flower. Mo Dong knew this opportunity was fleeting; if he missed it, the flower's medicinal properties would be greatly diminished.

He took a deep breath and waved his hand for the team to prepare. He led his men slowly toward the sapphire-like Soul-Eating Blue Ice Flowers, each step cautious, fearing the slightest mistake could damage these fragile blossoms. The air was bitingly cold, and the team members dared not make a single sound. Mo Dong held his breath, gently reaching out his hand. The moment he touched a Soul-Eating Blue Ice Flower, he felt the cold, fragile texture of the petals. Following his guidance, the other team members also began to pick.

Time ticked by, the freezing cold making their movements difficult and slow. Suddenly, a flower in one team member's hand, due to a slight misstep, turned into ice chips, scattering beside the icy pool. Mo Dong immediately warned everyone, and everyone's tension instantly intensified, but they all understood that failure was not an option.

Finally, Mo Dong and his team collected enough Soul-Eating Blue Ice Flowers. They placed the flowers in a specially designed container to ensure their medicinal properties were not lost, and without further delay, they immediately set off on their return journey.

By the time they rushed back to the city, time was running out. The poison was spreading among the people, and the antidote was their last hope. Mo Dong and Lu Ling'er toiled tirelessly to brew the antidote, each moment a test of their will and strength. The boiling herbs in the pot emitted a strange blue glow, the power of the Soul-Devouring Blue Ice Flower taking effect.

As time passed, Lu Linger's eyes burned with hope: "In another hour, the antidote will be ready." Her tone was firm and confident. Mo Dong stood quietly by, with only one thought in his mind: they must win this battle of life and death.
