Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Offering Myself (2)_1

At this moment, having ingested a piece of Black Lingzhi to suppress the toxins and guarded by Xiao Jiu and other Dark guards, Xiao Ruiyuan was hurrying back to Jing City, unaware that the girl he yearned for was eagerly awaiting news from him and had made an important decision that would greatly surprise him.

Four hours earlier, just as Doctor Gui was performing his secret technique and delivering the final needle at the critical moment, Maomao and Little Flower arrived swiftly with Black Lingzhi and Spirit Spring Water in tow.

Xiao Ruiyuan, against the advice of Doctor Gui and the Dark guards, personally untied the pouch bound to Maomao’s claw. He had thought that it might contain a letter, perhaps a bottle of healing elixir, or even nothing at all; never had he considered it would contain the life-saving Black Lingzhi.

When Doctor Gui, with trembling hands and utter reverence, held up the two pitch-dark objects and repeatedly identified them as Black Lingzhi, he shocked not only Xiao Ruiyuan but also the six Dark guards and the over hundred guards from the Prince’s Mansion. They were all dumbfounded by the sudden good news and could hardly believe their eyes were witnessing such a miracle.

Now was not the time for Doctor Gui to inquire about the origin of the Black Lingzhi. Without hesitation, he placed the Black Lingzhi into Xiao Ruiyuan’s hands, then reversed most of the secret technique in favor of another Needlework approach that, combined with the medicinal properties of the Black Lingzhi, could temporarily suppress the Heart-eating poison in his system.

After his initial shock, Xiao Ruiyuan hesitated while holding the Black Lingzhi. He was well aware of how precious the Lingzhi was; after sending out a massive search party for over a decade with no news, it had now appeared in his hands in this manner.

The affection displayed by his beloved woman in offering the Black Lingzhi to save him was something he acknowledged and didn’t find too burdensome, because the moment he had confirmed his feelings, he had already considered her as his future wife, whom he would protect with his life. His hesitation was whether, if this was all the Black Lingzhi that remained, it could be wasted on a mere Prince’s medicine!

Guessing his concerns, Doctor Gui advised, "The Crown Prince’s situation is different from yours. He has been poisoned for too long, and the Heart-eating poison has merged into his bones and blood. This bit of Black Lingzhi is far from enough for him. If you take a piece now, you can temporarily suppress the toxin. Once we return to Jing City, use Red Python’s Gallbladder combined with another piece, and after merging with dozens of herbs, the poison can truly be cured."

Moreover, these two pieces of Black Lingzhi were so fresh that they were obviously just cut from an entire plant. Therefore, the bulk of it must still be in the possession of its owner, whom Xiao lad surely knows. They could try to obtain the remaining Black Lingzhi later.

Having heard this explanation, Xiao Ruiyuan no longer hesitated and placed the bizarrely fragrant Black Lingzhi into his mouth.

The moment the Black Lingzhi entered his stomach, Xiao Ruiyuan clearly felt waves of warmth coursing through his abdomen, slowly surging into his limbs and body, and when it reached his heart, a sudden intense pain struck him, that was several times more excruciating than before. He clenched his teeth fiercely, swallowing the groan that almost escaped his mouth.

Just then, Doctor Gui’s hands moved like lightning, inserting one Silver Needle after another into various acupuncture points around Xiao Ruiyuan’s chest and abdomen. He trapped the toxins forced out by the Black Lingzhi at the heart meridian into one particular spot and finally sealed it with the Silver Needle to prevent it from wreaking havoc elsewhere.

Soon after, Xiao Ruiyuan also drank the Spirit Spring Water Little Flower had brought. He quickly noticed something unique about the water. Seeing that the large Water Sack was filled with water, he had a brainwave and poured some Spirit Spring Water over his wound. The wound, which despite being sealed by Silver Needles was still oozing a trickle of blood, now stopped bleeding altogether!

Doctor Gui noticed this as well and, out of surprise, couldn’t help but take a sip to taste it. He immediately realized that the water was exactly the same as the medicinal concoction used by the Crown Prince every day. He shared this discovery and was about to ask Xiao Ruiyuan if the person who gave him the Black Lingzhi and water was the same as the one who formulated the medicine, but he saw that Xiao Ruiyuan’s expression had become very strange, as if he was on alert for someone!
