The villain has been playing badly for ten years

The utility room was originally an abandoned kitchen. Now it has been tidied up and is not too messy, but looks very simple and ancient.

The stove was clean, with the alchemy furnace placed in the center. In the corner of the room, there were rows of neatly arranged medicine cabinets filled with various rare medicinal materials.

With another "bang", the door of the utility room was opened.

Hua Jianbai had just stepped into the house when he saw a flickering fire burning in the stove, illuminating the walls.

He smelled the strong aroma of medicinal herbs, which seemed to be tinged with a subtle fishy smell.

It was as if a gust of wind blew over, and the sparkling light in Ning Xiusu's hand flickered, and the blue-green fireworks swayed gently in the wind.

He raised his eyes to look at the source of the movement, then covered his hand and withdrew the ghost fire from his palm.

The opened shrine box lay quietly beside the fire, empty inside.

Hua Jianbai's eyes trembled slightly, a hint of imperceptible moisture flashed across them, and he shouted angrily:

"Are you kidding me, big villain? Do you think you are a god?"

Ning Xiusu sighed, his tone very helpless: "Guardian Hua, if this door is broken, it will affect the fire."

Hua Jianbai's gaze shifted from the shrine box to the empty bowl covered in blood. He seemed to be trying hard to suppress the turmoil in his heart with his breathing.

"You gave me the Holy Lotus Heart and hid here silently to make the antidote. What about you..."

Having said this, he didn't know why, but his questioning tone became almost choked, and even a thin layer of mist covered his eyes.

"Then what are you going to do!"

The last cry was almost anxiously shouted with tears in his eyes.

Ning Xiusu said: "What are you doing? I'm fine."

"Master Meng said you wanted to test the medicine on yourself. I saw it all..."

Hua Jianbai's nose tip almost turned red, and he shook his head vigorously, as if he had a thousand words to say but couldn't express them.

He suddenly walked up to him and grabbed his arm. Under the soft robe, he remembered that he couldn't feel the other person's pulse at all.

"You can't touch the weird things in the shrine box, you know? Even Ayu has mutated..."

"Miao Wuxian is in my body. I just want to try and see if it is the antidote."

"So you'll... use your own blood?"

Hua Jianbai felt a sour and salty taste in his mouth, the corners of his lips trembled, Shanquan's eyes were watery, and tears fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Ning Xiusu panicked for a moment and could only comfort her, "I know my limits."

He asked anxiously, "How do you feel now?"

"That's good news. My blood can indeed restrain the Ten Directions Blood Clotting Agent, so there won't be any problems with the pills I refine."

Hanami's emotions surged like a tidal wave, but just as they were about to overflow from his eyes, he managed to hold them back a bit, and then he grabbed the other person's sleeve.

"Big villain, don't use your own blood. Let's go find the Poison King. Since Miao Wuxian is the antidote, he must know another way."

"That makes sense."

Ning Xiusu's eyes were like black jade, hiding a soft and moist jade light.

"I didn't intend to bleed all the time, I just wanted to give it a try."

Hua Jianbai really didn't know what to say. Ning Xiusu waved his hand, and the faint light of the stove ignited again.

"After all, this should only be enough to help a dozen people, but the Qianluo Mountain Gu has harmed too many people, and even squeezing me dry is not enough."

Hearing this, he wiped away his tears and said anxiously and angrily: "Do you still know! I thought you wanted to be a Buddha."

Ning Xiusu smiled for some reason and suddenly asked, "Guardian Hua, why are you so anxious?"

"I should be asking you that."

"what?"

Hua Jianbai's cheeks were like pear blossoms hit by autumn frost, slightly stained with raindrops:

"Why did you give me the Holy Lotus Heart?"

Ning Xiusu didn't quite understand: "?"

"You care about me... us..."

Not knowing what was going on, Hua Jianbai lowered his head slightly and asked a question for some unknown reason.

Ning Xiusu answered seriously, without any other thoughts mixed in: "After all, you've already risked your life going to Tianyu Mountain. If I don't do something, wouldn't it be very cold and indifferent?"

Hua Jianbai raised her head, her face covered with tears: "But you didn't eat anything!"

Ning Xiusu knew very well that he was a girl with a soft heart. Perhaps because he was used to crying at any time, his voice was as soft as a red silk string.

"I've served Purple Jade Immortal before. Although it's not as good as Holy Lotus Heavenly Heart, it's... enough."

As he spoke, the dim glow of the stove's flames faded, and amidst the lingering aroma of the elixir, a wisp of medicinal vapor wafted towards him.

Ning Xiusu gently opened the furnace lid and waited for it to cool down for a while before waving his hand. Two pills seemed to fall into his palm.

The pill is amber in color and emits a faint luster.

Hanamibai's tears were still wet, and her expression was already filled with shock and wonder:

"Is this the antidote?"

"Maybe."

Ning Xiusu had just finished saying this when he saw Hua Jianbai pick up a pill and put it in his mouth.

Ning Xiusu felt a little flustered for no reason, "Wait a minute."

Hua Jianbai had already swallowed a pill, then looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Ning Xiusu said anxiously, "Aren't you afraid...that I might get poisoned because of my poor alchemy skills?"

Hua Jianbai secretly circulated his Qi and found that there seemed to be nothing wrong, and the stagnation in his Dantian was also eliminated.

He grabbed Ning Xiusu's robe with joy and said, "Big villain, you really are a god. This medicine seems to be really effective. My nephew can be saved!"

He took the other pill and hurriedly went to Pu Boyu.

Ning Xiusu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to refine some more. He estimated that there was one bottle with about a dozen pills. Then he handed them all to Meng Qilian.

Many of the officials and prisoners who came out of the Qianluo Mountain Mine had been poisoned by the Ten Directions Blood Drain, and therefore they were almost dying in the prison.

After Meng Qilian sent the antidote, he was full of life in just a few hours.

In order to express his gratitude, he told many details about the mine, such as the origin of Bailuofu.

The mine, which was washed with the blood of tens of thousands of people, actually used the blood of countless prisoners to make the purity of Bailuofu reach the standard for making Yanshu.

These details are truly shocking.

But Ning Xiusu had been tossing and turning all day, and probably lost too much blood. It was almost dusk when he finally had time to go to his room to rest.

He had just sat down on the armchair when he felt a little dizzy. He couldn't help but support his head and take a short nap. He didn't know how long it had been before he heard footsteps.

"The big villain."

He raised his eyes slightly and saw Hua Jianbai, holding something in his hand.

The breeze outside the door brought a sense of dryness and heat, along with a hint of the delicious smell of chicken soup.

He suddenly became more energetic for no reason and reached out to take a bowl of chicken noodle soup. The shredded chicken and noodles were of excellent color, and there was a smiley face made with vegetables and eggs.

It was obvious that this was not the food from the guesthouse. Ning Xiusu looked at him:

"You cooked?"

Hua Jianbai nodded, but then said dejectedly: "But I'm not very good at using a wood stove, so I can only cook some noodles to reward you..."

Ning Xiusu smiled. He was really hungry, so he quickly took a big bite. It was extremely fragrant, with the right amount of saltiness and very smooth.

Hua Jianbai thought that this prince, who was dressed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, would not be used to the food he made so carelessly, but unexpectedly he devoured it all in one swift blow, leaving not even a soup.

"Why are you eating so fast?"

Hanamibai held his cheek, as if he was surprised.

Ning Xiusu put down his chopsticks and praised, "Guardian Hua, your cooking skills are so good. I guess the position of food steward in the palace should have been given to you."

Unexpectedly, Hua Jianbai snorted, "That's another wage."

"Nian Zheng..."

Meng Qilian appeared at the door at some point, and when he saw that both of them had started eating, he put down what he was holding awkwardly.

That's clearly lotus leaf chicken!

Hua Jianbai didn't care about that and took it and said, "Master Meng, you are so kind!"

Meng Qilian said, "The food in the hall is quite simple..."

“Not shabby.”

Hua Jianbai hurried to the kitchen and soon brought a bowl of hot noodles.

"Master Meng, I cooked a bowl of noodles. You can have the noodles and I'll have the chicken."

Ning Xiusu was stunned. It turned out that Lord Meng also had face.
