Chapter 2752
Kai frowned and shook his head. “I’ve never encountered this poison before, and unfortunately, I don’t yet know the antidote. All I can do for now is gather some herbs and experiment a bit…”
Despite discovering the nature of the poison, Kai felt he lacked an effective method to counteract it.
In order to neutralize this toxin, Kai would need to conduct some experiments to identify which herbs might be useful!
Upon hearing that Kai was at a loss for a cure, the expression of Yih Demon Emperor shifted to one of despair!
“Don’t lose hope. Just give me some time, and I will find a way to lift this poison,” Kai reassured him, patting Ichthus Demon Emperor on the shoulder.
The Ikh Demon Emperor nodded in agreement. “I trust in the Hall Master’s abilities…”
“For now, just take it easy. I’ll go out and gather some herbs to see if I can concoct some pills for you to try,” Kai said before stepping out of the room, leaving the Ichthus Demon Emperor to rest.
“Kai, how did it go?” Liu Ruyan asked anxiously as soon as she saw him emerge.
As Kai began to write the list, the Third Elder looked puzzled. “Mr. Chen, our Jade Tripod Sect’s resources are nearly depleted. I’m afraid we won’t be able to acquire the herbs you’re looking for.”
Kai felt embarrassed at the Third Elder’s words, realizing he had nearly exhausted all the resources of the Jade Tripod Sect himself!
“Third Elder, whatever Kai needs, you must find it. Spare no expense,” Liu Ruyan insisted, turning to the elder.
“Sovereign, you know that even with more spirit coins, some medicinal herbs simply cannot be purchased,” the Third Elder replied, looking helpless.
Liu Ruyan was about to press him further when Kai interjected, “Ruyan, let’s not push the Third Elder. The herbs I require cannot be bought with spirit coins, no matter how many we have.”
Liu Ruyan was taken aback, gazing at Kai with disbelief and a hint of admiration in her eyes!
Kai felt a bit uneasy under her gaze.
It took a moment for Kai to realize that he had, in fact, called her by her first name instead of “Miss Liu.” This small shift made their relationship feel much more personal!
“I… I just said it casually. If you don’t like it, I can…”
“I like it! I really like it!” Liu Ruyan exclaimed eagerly. “You can call me by my name from now on. It makes us seem closer!”
“If you need any herbs, just let me know directly. I’ll go buy them for you, even if it costs me everything!”
Kai was momentarily speechless at her enthusiasm.
“Sovereign, if Mr. Chen isn’t in a hurry, we can definitely wait for the Pill Master’s meeting to gather some herbs!” the Third Elder suggested.
“At that time, all kinds of herbs will be available in Jialing County, and the prices will be reasonable!” he added.
Liu Ruyan considered this suggestion and turned to Kai. “If you’re not in a rush, I can take you to the Pill Master’s Association. They will have all sorts of herbs!”
“There’s no rush. When does the Pill Master Meeting take place?” Kai inquired.
