Chapter 448 - You Deserved It (2)
“Great Master Pu Lisi, what is going on? Please explain!” Fang Qiu burned with anxiety. Luo Fan was Yates Academy’s most outstanding student, and if any mishap were to happen to him, Fang Qiu would no longer be allowed to remain in the academy.
Furthermore, the Luo Family would never let him off too!
Luo Fan was the Luo Family’s greatest hope, and they had given him the best resources in the family so that he could become a Great Herbalist in the future.
Pu Lisi’s face had a trace of rarely-seen nervousness as he looked at the two students who had seemed fine just moments ago before they collapsed. There was only buzzing in his blanked mind.
“Impossible! There was no problem with the antidote that I made for them, so why did they vomit blood?” Pi Lisi became flustered. Shangguan Xiao was his sole disciple after so many years, and even though his talents were inferior to Shen Jue, he was still a rare genius in herbalism. He already had intentions for him to inherit his skills. It was hard for an esteemed Great Herbalist like Pu Lisi to watch as his disciple vomited blood profusely.
The sudden change in Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan’s conditions had caused chaos in the room. Even though he was still in shock, Pu Lisi had managed to send someone to the Priest Division for help. There was nothing more an herbalist could do to rectify the situation.
The head of the Priest Division had gone to the dormitory personally. He had cast several powerful blessings on Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan before their situation slightly improved. However, both of them had lost consciousness, and their pale faces remained the same.
“Great Master Pu Lisi, their heart meridians have been damaged. I’m afraid that they would have to be nursed back to health.” The head of the Priest Division furrowed his eyebrows. He was not optimistic about their situation.
“Their heart meridians are damaged? What do you mean?” Pu Lisi stared at him with a blank expression. He would never expect to learn that two active youths would have their heart meridians damaged so suddenly.
The Priest Division’s head said, “Although I am inept in herbalism, it is clear that these two students had previously consumed a potion to restrain their meridians. Then it looked like their meridians had received a strong impact that caused the restraining force to lose control completely and to cause a rampage in their bodies. Right now, their meridians are severely damaged.”
“A potion that restrains their meridians…” Pu Lisi’s complexion paled immediately.
The Slow Potion’s effect was meant for their brain and not their meridians. However, the Priest Division’s head would not have sprouted nonsense if it were not true.
That meant that Shen Jue’s detrimental potion was not a Slow Potion, but instead, it was another mysterious that Pu Lisi did not recognize. Furthermore, its effect looked similar to the Slow Potion, and it did not cause any harm too. The antidote to the Slow Potion was meant to dissipate the numbing medicinal effects to alleviate the symptoms. However, when Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan had consumed it, the antidote did not disappear after it had dissipated. Instead, it had remained in their bodies as it caused a rampage and destroyed their meridians.
Pu Lisi’s legs immediately buckled under him as he sunk into a chair. The usual arrogance was no longer detected on his face. Instead, he wore a blank expression, and it looked as if he had aged a decade in the blink of an eye.
The destruction of their meridians meant that Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan’s skills in herbalism were crushed. Without the support of their meridians, their five senses would be significantly affected. At the same time, they would also lose more than half of their energy.
