After the indigenous heroine was reborn, she went crazy and reorganized the plot line

next day

Rong Su took Shen Peiqing to Lotus Mountain to find the Blood Lotus.

Because the residual toxins in Xiao Huan's body still needed to be treated, Rong Su asked Gu Yun to stay and check on her occasionally.

Gu Yuer originally wanted to go with them, but Gu Yun was afraid that if Gu Yuer went, it would trouble Rong Su to take care of her, so he did not let Gu Yuer go with Rong Su.

This time, only Rong Su and Shen Peiqing went to Lotus Mountain.

Sitting in the carriage, Rong Su kept her head down and flipped through the medical book, reading it seriously, as if Shen Peiqing didn't exist at all.

Shen Peiqing closed his eyes slightly and pretended to be asleep. Although he seemed to be dozing, his peripheral vision was actually always on Rong Su.

She looked quiet, like a quiet night-blooming cereus, elegant and beautiful at this moment, with an indescribable gentleness about her.

He seemed unable to look away, and his heartbeat was like the fingertips of the best musician in the Beizhou Palace jumping above the most moving melody, gradually speeding up.

Suddenly she raised her hand and touched the hair hanging on her chest. He was so scared that he immediately withdrew his gaze from the corner of his eye, and his heart beat faster.

He forced himself to close his eyes completely, but without the darkness, his ears became very sharp, and he could only hear the sound of her occasionally turning pages of the book and his own heartbeat as loud as a drum.

What's going on? What happened to him?

It was as if he wanted to find something to divert his attention, or maybe he didn't know what he wanted to ask, but asked it anyway.

"What will you do if you don't find the Blood Lotus of Spring Mountain in Lotus Mountain?"

Rong Su, who was watching carefully, suddenly heard Shen Peiqing's question, raised her head, looked at him, and said calmly: "If you can't find it, then find another way. If there is a problem, there must be a solution. What? Are you worried that I can't save you without the blood lotus?"

She didn't like people questioning her ability. Finding the blood lotus would naturally make it easier to treat Shen Peiqing's meridians, but not having it didn't mean she couldn't save him.

Hearing Rong Su's displeasure, Shen Peiqing suddenly felt a little panicked, but his face remained stern and he replied in a deep voice: "Do I doubt it or not, don't I still have to rely on you for the time being?"

He didn't answer, but instead threw the question to herself. Rong Su just found it funny. What was he trying to test at this time? Maybe he had a problem with his brain.

Too lazy to pay attention to him, Rong Su lowered her head and continued reading.

Seeing that Rong Su no longer talked to him, Shen Peiqing felt a little lost, but he quickly recovered. He was unwilling to admit this loss.

It was not until evening that the two of them finally arrived at the foot of Lotus Mountain, but it was already dark.

The weather in October is already getting colder, especially at night. The cold wind is like a bandit, invading every place, overbearing and tough.

Rong Su reached out and lifted the carriage curtain, looked at the dim sky, and saw faint lights and smoke not far away.

She said to the driver, "Brother, please take us to the nearby village first. It's getting late and it's not good to walk at night."

The driver heard this and said cheerfully, "Okay!"

Soon, the two of them found a small village. With money, things were easier to do. They soon found a house that was willing to let them stay.

This house was where the village chief lived, so two guest rooms were left empty. Shen Peiqing and the coachman slept in one room, while Rong Su slept in another room by herself.

Before going to bed, Rong Su turned sideways and thought about what Shen Peiqing had asked her today.

That’s right, if she didn’t find the blood lotus this time, how would she heal Shen Peiqing’s meridians?

It is not too difficult to repair the meridians in Shen Peiqing's body. The most difficult thing is to remove the poison that has penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

I think the reason he has survived until now is that his deep hatred is what supports him.

Just like myself, I am still alive today just for revenge.

If there was no blood lotus, she would have to use the most dangerous method to help Shen Peiqing force out the poison.

I just hope I don't need to use this method.

As she was thinking, Rong Su fell asleep.

On the other side, the coachman gave his bed to Shen Peiqing and slept on the floor himself, which Shen Peiqing was very happy about.

He placed his hands behind his head, staring at the dark sky with his eyes open, his thoughts drifting away.

I thought a lot and recalled a lot in my mind, but it was as if I didn’t think of anything and I slowly fell asleep.

It was not until the early morning of the next day that they headed to Lotus Mountain again.

Coincidentally, as soon as they got off the carriage and entered the pass of Lotus Mountain, they met two acquaintances.

When Yuan Shen and the Khan saw them, they immediately came over and greeted them.

"Miss Rong, Master Shen? Why are you here?"

Rong Su was also surprised to meet Yuan Shen and the Khan here, but he also explained the purpose of this trip.

"I'm looking for a herb. What about you?"

Yuan Shen smiled after hearing this and said, "We are also going to Lotus Mountain to look for herbs. What are you looking for? Perhaps I can help?"

"The Blood Lotus of Quanshan." Rong Su was not polite either. She knew that Yuan Shen came from a family of doctors and might know about the Blood Lotus.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shen was surprised to hear that she was looking for the Spring Mountain Blood Lotus. Then he understood and said, "No wonder you came here. There is indeed a legend that the Spring Mountain Blood Lotus exists in Lotus Mountain, but the Blood Lotus has always been a rare herb, so not everyone can find it in Lotus Mountain."

Rong Su had thought about this matter beforehand, so she also understood that this trip would either be a complete success or a disappointment.

But you still need to give it a try.

"I know." Rong Su said calmly and walked straight into the mountain pass.

Yuan Shen looked at Shen Peiqing, and Shen Peiqing just looked at him. They both nodded and greeted each other.

Then they walked into Lotus Mountain together.

"Why did Mr. Yuan come all the way to Lotus Mountain to look for medicine? Is it because it is not available in Lincheng?" Shen Peiqing asked casually when he saw Yu Anjing.

Yuan Shen was wondering how to bring up the topic, as it would take a long way into the mountains, and it would be a bit uncomfortable not to speak along the way.

When he heard Shen Peiqing asking the question, he quickly took over the topic.

"It's my father-in-law. His old illness has recurred, and there's a medicine that's hard to find. And if that medicine can be picked raw and ground into powder immediately, it will be very effective, so I came here."

When Rong Su heard that it was Mr. Jiang who had an old illness, she didn't want to get involved, but she was quite interested in herbal medicine.

"I wonder what medicine Master Yuan is looking for?"

Yuan Shen saw Rong Su's interest and blurted out, "Nanteng grass."

Hearing that it was Nanteng Grass, Rong Su looked at the environment inside Lotus Mountain. It usually grows in moist or shady places, and can also climb on rocks or trees.

There are indeed tall bushes in the Lotus Mountain area. When passing through many places, you can see that the vegetation is moist, which shows that there is often rain here.

However, the flowering period of southern vine grass is not at this time.

"It's already mid-October, is there still any Nantengcao?" Rong Su wondered. She had read in the herbal medicine book written by Gu Yun that the flowering and fruiting seasons of Nantengcao had already passed.

Yuan Shen immediately looked at Rong Su with admiration, then smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Rong is studying herbal medicine very seriously. You are right. The Nanteng grass is already past its flowering and fruiting period. But some people overlook one point."

She didn't quite understand, so after thinking for a moment she asked, "What is it?"

Yuan Shen didn't try to be mysterious and explained it to her directly.

"Flowering and fruiting are important, but the Nanteng grass at this time is more effective, especially the leaves, stems and branches in October. That's why I came here."

After hearing the explanation, Rong Su silently took note in her heart: "Thank you, Master Yuan, for your explanation."

"Haha, you're welcome. I admire Miss Rong's spirit of asking questions. By the way, have you ever heard of the Quanshan Blood Lotus?" Yuan Shen laughed heartily, then thought of something and asked.

Rong Su thought about it and thought she understood, so she told him the truth: "I understand. The Quanshan Blood Lotus is poisonous, but it is also a very valuable herb."

After listening to this, Yuan Shen nodded in agreement, but also added some more to her.

"That's right. The Quanshan Blood Lotus is poisonous, no doubt about that. Furthermore, it grows deep beneath a lake, and only in a very cold lake can it grow. It only bears fruit once every ten years and blooms once every five years."

Rong Su didn't expect that the Quanshan Blood Lotus would grow in such an extreme environment. She couldn't help but ponder it, but knowing this was a good thing for her.

"Thank you, Master Yuan. At least I know how to find the Blood Lotus of Quanshan Mountain."

Yuan Shen was a little surprised. He had told her the living environment of the Quanshan Blood Lotus. Even if she found the vegetation in such a harsh environment, it would be very difficult to pick it.

He began to appreciate Rong Su even more, so he smiled and said, "You're welcome. You're also Yu'er and I's benefactor, so it's only natural for me to help you. The herbs I need can be found quickly, so why don't I help you find them first?"

Since Yuan Shen had offered to help, Rong Su was not the shy type to refuse. She nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."

Yuan Shen smiled and described the situation to the Khan. Then they split up and went to find a place with lake water.

To prevent wild animals from appearing in the mountains, Yuan Shen also gave Rong Su and Shen Peiqing some herbs that could repel wild animals.

There are four directions in total: east, south, west and north, and the four of them each go in one direction.

If someone found the lake, they would use smoke signals to convey the news.

Rong Su went to the south. As he walked further south, the vegetation became lower and lower, and he could see many small animals running by.

Rabbits, pheasants, and things like mice with big tails.

I could even see a stream, but I didn't find any lakes or anything like that.

As she walked, she came across the Nanteng grass that Yuan Shen needed, so she picked it for him.

When she realized she had reached the end and saw a place similar to a cliff, she realized that there was no way to go.

Qianqian sighed and planned to go back. As soon as she turned around, she saw smoke signals in the west.

Rong Su suddenly opened her eyes wide and felt a little excited. The west was the place where the Khan was surveying. Thinking of this, she walked towards that place without stopping.

Because she was too excited, she didn't pay any attention to the thorny bushes blocking her way when she ran, and many of them scratched her arms.

When she ran breathlessly to the place where the wolf smoke was emitted, as expected, she saw a large lake and Da Khan who was piling up wood to set off the wolf smoke.

The Khan seemed to be surprised that she would come so quickly. “Miss Rong, you came really quickly.”

"Yeah." Rong Su walked directly to the lake, looked at it, and found that the lake was very deep and the bottom was completely invisible. She couldn't help but frown.

She squatted down again and stretched out her hand to feel the temperature of the lake water. The tingling sensation like ice water instantly spread from her fingertips to her entire hand.

At this time, Yuan Shen and Shen Peiqing arrived at the same time from the east and north respectively.

"This lake, if I remember correctly, should be the Lengquan Lake in Lotus Mountain." Yuan Shen walked over, squatted down, stretched out his hand to touch the lake water, but was also shocked by the coolness of the lake water and immediately retracted his hand.

Hearing Yuan Shen say this, Rong Su looked at him and asked, "Will there be blood lotus in this lake?"

Yuan Shen looked at the lake, pondered for a moment, and then replied, "I heard that the temperature of this lake is comparable to the melted snow on the snowy mountains. I guess it is possible. But if you want to go down to look for the blood lotus, you will probably freeze to death before you even get halfway down."

This is indeed a big problem. She is not a martial arts master. I heard that martial arts will give you internal strength, and internal strength can help people increase the heat of the meridians in the body. This is just a rumor, and I don't know if it is true.

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but look at Shen Peiqing. This brat used to know martial arts, so he must have internal strength. But now he is just a guy with crippled meridians. Forget it, it's a waste of effort to ask him.

"Then do you have any solution?" Rong Su had to place his hopes on Yuan Shen. After all, he seemed to know more.

Yuan Shen lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought. After a long while, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Rong Su and said, "There is indeed a way, but it has a time limit."

Hearing that there was a way, Rong Su immediately perked up and asked solemnly, "Please tell me, I must find the blood lotus."

When Shen Peiqing, who was standing by, heard this, he couldn't help but look at Rong Su deeply.

Seeing Rong Su's determination, Yuan Shen didn't hide anything anymore and said directly, "I can make a Heart Burning Pill. Once you take it, you will feel as if your whole body is burning like fire. Your body temperature will instantly increase for half an hour. You can use this half hour to go to the bottom of the lake and find the blood lotus."

Heart Burning Pill? Rong Su didn't care about that. The most important thing now was to find the Blood Lotus. She nodded and said, "Okay, is there anything I can help you with? Oh, and here's the Nanteng Grass you wanted."

After she finished speaking, she handed the Nanteng grass to Yuan Shen. Yuan Shen took it with gratitude after seeing it, then looked around and said, "No need. I think the herbs needed for the Burning Heart Pill should be found around here. I recognize those herbs quickly, so I'll go pick them. You guys wait for me."

As soon as Yuan Shen finished speaking, he turned around and went into the mountains and forests again.

While waiting for Yuan Shen to find herbs to make the Heart-Scorching Pill, Rong Su kept staring at the lake, thinking that this large lake was neither small nor big, and it might take more than half an hour to find it.

It doesn’t matter. At worst, she can just take the Burning Heart Pill again. She has only one goal, and that is the Blood Lotus of Quanshan.

Having made up his mind, Rong Su no longer thought about anything else and just waited for Yuan Shen to bring back the herbs.
