Chapter 309: A Suspicious Prognosis

After a short while, Elder Yao came out while holding a small white porcelain bottle and walking slowly toward them.

He was old, so his steps were naturally slow.

Bai He did not rush him.

He was not that anxious.

After reaching Bai He, he poured the powder from the bottle onto his wound.

In an instant, the wound suddenly healed.

Bai He widened his eyes, clearly finding it hard to believe.

This was a little too miraculous.

"Elder Bai He, my medicine can only temporarily heal the wound on your hand. If you want it to fully return to its original state, you will likely need one more medicinal ingredient."

"What medicinal ingredient? Could it be that you don’t even have it here?"

In this world, there was actually a medicinal herb that even Lingguang Sect did not possess?

And with the Tree’s Coreflame as well, what kind of herb could possibly be impossible to cultivate?

Elder Yao turned around and placed the bottle on the table.

"This matter, Ye Shiyuan should know about it."

Just because Bai He did not know did not mean Ye Shiyuan did not know.

Often, Elder Yao would discuss pharmacology and medical theory with Ye Shiyuan.

"I originally thought Elder Yao might have a solution, but I did not expect it to be this serious." Ye Shiyuan’s expression darkened slightly, regret filling his brows.

"Fifth Elder’s physical condition is extremely rare. At present, there does not seem to be any major issue, which is already fortunate. But to prevent any accidents, it still needs to be fully healed. Otherwise, there may be a day when..."

Could it really be that serious?

Bai He had never known that his condition had actually become this severe.

It was like cancer.

Some people appear healthy and seem completely fine, but no one can guarantee they will always be fine for the rest of their lives.

Bai He nervously swallowed his saliva.

"Elder Yao? Am I doomed?"

No way.

There was no way he would die so easily over just this kind of injury.

It did not even look serious.

Most importantly, it did not hurt and did not itch at all.

"Fifth Elder, please do not say such things. You are blessed with great fortune. You will definitely be fine."

It was over, it was over.

Hearing such polite and formulaic comforting words, Bai He immediately knew in his heart that he was basically finished.

He left Elder Yao’s alchemy pavilion full of worry.

His expression remained extremely heavy.

"Host, you should try to stay positive."

Even Mo Zhu was trying to comfort him at a time like this.

Bai He honestly felt he did not really need this kind of comfort.

"Master."

Ye Shiyuan suddenly called out to him.

Still immersed in his own thoughts, Bai He raised his head. "Hmm?"

"Master does not need to worry. Nothing will happen."

"Shiyuan, could it be that it is not actually that serious? Maybe Elder Yao and you are both overthinking it. It is just a small wound. If it does not heal, then so be it. It is not a big issue."

"Master, I am sorry. I did not tell you earlier. Pure fire is also a type of extreme yang and highly toxic flame. It is the most poisonous fire in the world. If an ordinary person is burned by pure fire, they would likely be reduced to ashes instantly. I believe that because Master is the Cryo Sovereign, that is why it did not result in such an outcome. If your wound heals naturally, then you will be fine. But right now..."

Ye Shiyuan was telling him that he might be in danger at any moment.

The injury on his hand could no longer be seen clearly.

It was the effect of Elder Yao’s medicine, but it was only temporary.

"Master, after we return, I will go find the medicine for you."

Bai He was in a daze, confused and unsettled.

He had gone out happily earlier, but not long after returning, he was suddenly told that he might die.

He returned to Baize Peak and locked himself in his room, not going out at all.

Ye Shiyuan came once during this time and said he was leaving.

Bai He only responded once and then said nothing more.

"Host, why did you not go with Ye Shiyuan?"

"I am about to die. What would I go with him for?"

Mo Zhu flew in front of Bai He.

"Host, you yourself said the situation is not that serious."

"But what if it is..."

"Host, do you not trust your own luck?"

Mo Zhu’s words left Bai He unable to refute.

Luck?

Was he even someone with good luck?

Ever since he came to this world...

If he thought about it carefully, his luck actually seemed quite good.

Everyone treated him well and no one in Lingguang Sect bullied him.

He could also be considered someone with a noble status.

He had whatever he wanted.

And now his cultivation had also improved.

Thinking about it this way, he really was quite fortunate.

"Mm..."

"Host, why do you look unhappy again?"

"What if my luck from before was used up? What if only misfortune is left now?"

Mo Zhu Crow was momentarily speechless.

"Master."

From outside the door, Xu Feng knocked.

"The Third Elder sent someone to deliver a letter for you. He said that while we were away, someone came to Lingguang Sect looking for you, and they specially left this behind."

"Master, why are you not opening it to take a look?"

Bai He looked at the letter in front of him.

Xu Feng also looked at it.

On it were only four words: To Bai He personally.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai He finally opened it.

It turned out to be from Ma Hongjun.

He said that after leaving Spirit Pagoda, he would come to find him.

He really did come, but unfortunately, Bai He was not in Lingguang Sect.
