Chapter 85: Heartbreak Grass
Li Mochou thought she would spend the rest of her life in the Valley of Heartbreak, but unexpectedly, her disciple brought Qian Jin and Xiaolongnu to rescue her.
Just as Li Mochou's expression darkened, Gongsun Lü'e suddenly cried out, "Ah!"
"Oh no, the last Heartbreak Pill is still on my father, but he, but he..."
Just as Gongsun Lü'e was at a loss for words, Qian Jin suddenly grabbed her hand and continued:
"But the Valley Master of Heartless Valley was already thrown into an abyss by me, and now he is probably gone without a trace."
Therefore, there is probably no longer a "heart-severing pill" in this world.
Li Mochou: "..."
Hong Lingbo was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, and then suddenly said:
"The Heartbreak Pill is gone, so there's no way to cure Master's Love Flower Poison. Then, then..."
In the end, Hong Lingbo couldn't continue speaking.
She never expected that her desperate efforts to get Qian Jin and Xiaolongnu's help would end up like this.
Why? She clearly wanted to save her master, but in the end, she harmed him instead.
Because if she does nothing, her master will be forced to marry that heartless valley master, but at least he can continue to live.
But now...
"Master, I'm sorry."
When Qian Jin said that there was no more Heartbreak Pill in the world, Li Mochou suddenly realized that she was about to die.
When a person truly faces death, that is also the time when she has a profound realization.
When Li Mochou thought about her lifelong obsession with love and the sins she had committed, she suddenly felt that nothing else mattered.
Death might be a better outcome.
"Lingbo, you have not let your teacher down."
"On the contrary, I should be thanking you. You've shown me that besides love, there is still much genuine affection in this world."
After Li Mochou finished speaking, she turned to Xiaolongnu and said:
"Junior sister, thank you too."
I hurt you so badly back then in the ancient tomb, yet you still came to save me without holding a grudge.
"I have committed countless evil deeds in my life, and I do not seek to return to the ancient tomb, but only that you forgive my past mistakes."
As the saying goes, a dying man's words are good, and seeing Li Mochou in such a state, the crowd felt pity for her.
Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl said:
"Senior sister, I don't blame you."
Hearing Xiaolongnu's words, Li Mochou immediately felt relieved, and then turned to Hong Lingbo and said:
"Lingbo, after I die, Chixia Manor will be left to you. From now on, you must do more good deeds and not follow in my footsteps."
"Yes."
Hong Lingbo bowed her head and responded, her eyes involuntarily reddening.
Having followed her master for so many years, this was the first time she had ever discovered that her master had such a gentle side.
After seeing Li Mochou finish her last words, Qian Jin smiled slightly and said:
"It's really hard to imagine that the Scarlet Serpent Fairy, who is feared by everyone in the martial arts world, would actually advise her disciple to do more good deeds."
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have believed it.
Upon hearing this, Li Mochou gave a wry smile and said:
"Young Master Qian is right. I have indeed done too many evil things in the past. Now that I am dying from the poison of the Love Flower, it is a fitting end for my sins."
After I die, I hope that Young Master Qian will remain true to his original aspirations and take care of my junior sister for the rest of his life.
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"And what if you don't die?"
Immortal?
As soon as Qian Jin spoke, not only Li Mochou, but even Gongsun Lü'e and the others were stunned, looking at Qian Jin with puzzled expressions.
"Young Master Qian, what do you mean by that?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled slightly and said:
"It means exactly what it says. The only antidote to the Love Flower's poison in the world is the Heartbreak Pill. Who told you that?"
"Of course it's the Valley Master of Heartbreak. He told me that after being poisoned by the Love Flower, I need to take a Heartbreak Pill within 24 hours to suppress the poison."
Then, after thirty-six days, the second Heartbreak Pill must be taken to neutralize the poison; otherwise, the poison will cause death.
"What? You actually believed such a childish lie?"
Li Mochou was taken aback upon hearing this and said:
"A lie? But I asked many people afterward, and they all told me that only the Heartbreak Pill could cure the poison of the Love Flower."
I carefully observed their expressions as they spoke and was certain they weren't lying.
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Lü'e said:
"The poison of the Love Flower can indeed only be cured by the Heartbreak Pill, but in the past ten years or so, there has only been one Heartbreak Pill left in Heartbreak Valley."
So what your father said about taking a Heartbreak Pill within 24 hours to suppress the poison was all a lie.
He said the 36th was because the onset of the poison from the Love Flower happens to be on the 36th.
"But Brother Qian, you just said that Miss Li won't die. Could it be that you still have the last Heartbreak Pill?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin shook his head and said:
"Wherever a venomous snake is found, there is always an antidote within seven steps. Although the Love Flower is poisonous, it is not necessarily the only antidote that can be found in the Heartbreak Pill."
Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly surprised. Gongsun Lü'e had lived in the Valley of Heartbreak all her life and had never known that the Love Flower could have other antidotes besides the Heartbreak Pill. So she couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Qian, is it possible that besides the Heartbreak Pill, there are other antidotes in the world that can cure the Love Flower poison?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"Miss Gongsun, do you still remember when we first met, I told you that I had seen a description of the Love Flower in a book?"
Besides mentioning the poison of the Love Flower, the book also mentioned the Heartbreak Grass, which can cure the poison of the Love Flower.
"Heartbreak Grass? I do know that. Heartbreak Grass grows among love flowers and contains a deadly poison. I never imagined it would be the antidote for love flowers."
Upon hearing that the Heartbreak Grass could cure the Love Flower's poison, Li Mochou was stunned for a long while before finally sighing helplessly:
"Young Master Qian, you already knew that the Heartbreak Grass could cure the Love Flower's poison, but you waited so long to say it. You must have wanted to see me make a fool of myself!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled and said:
"How could that be! I just remembered it myself."
After all, I only once glanced at it in an ancient book back then. If I hadn't actually seen the Love Flower now, I would have thought it was all fiction!
Knowing that the Heartbreak Grass could cure the deadly poison of the Love Flower, the group immediately followed Gongsun Lü'e to the Love Flower thicket to search for the Heartbreak Grass.
Gelsemium elegans is a small, dark purple herb that emits a foul odor.
Li Mochou, holding the Heartbreak Grass, asked:
"Young Master Qian, how should this 'heartbreak herb' be taken?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"This Heartbreak Grass is extremely poisonous, so the way to counteract the poison of the Love Flower is to fight poison with poison. I will use the One-Finger Divine Skill to protect your heart meridian first, and then you can try to take one."
However, since it's called "heartbreak grass," you'll likely suffer excruciating pain after consuming it, so you should be mentally prepared beforehand.
