Chapter 384: Chapter 323: Fourteenth Grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Bringing the Dead Back to Life! (4K)_2
Lu Changsheng frowned.
Shangguan Zhao'er had saved his life, and he had no reason to give up on her now.
The Disciple Apprenticeship System could simulate a disciple's fate, but it could not foresee Shangguan Zhao'er being poisoned.
How to neutralize the deadly poison was up to him.
Lu Changsheng stopped transferring True Qi to Shangguan Zhao'er and instead closed his eyes to ponder.
He possessed many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and healing Elixir Pills capable of detoxification, but the poison afflicting Shangguan Zhao'er was not an ordinary one; it was an ancient corpse poison.
Even Shangguan Zhao'er, a Heavenly Immortal of great accomplishment, could not dissolve it with True Qi, and the detoxifying spirit medicines Lu Changsheng currently held could not bring her back from the brink of death.
"There are still eight opportunities to impart teachings today."
Lu Changsheng selected eight of the highest-grade detoxifying spirit medicines from all those he possessed.
He would occasionally reward his disciples with some detoxifying spirit medicines, as anyone could be poisoned.
But today, he needed to use the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator to produce a spirit medicine capable of saving Shangguan Zhao'er's life.
"Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Xiao Fan with Jiuhua Jade Dew Pill (grade eleven Elixir Pills), and have received a hundredfold return reward from imparting teachings: Baihua Shengsheng Pill (grade twelve Elixir Pills)."
Not enough, an Elixir Pill of this level still couldn't neutralize the ancient corpse poison capable of killing a Heavenly Immortal.
Therefore, Lu Changsheng rewarded the Baihua Shengsheng Pill to Xiao Fan.
"Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Xiao Fan with Baihua Shengsheng Pill (grade twelve Elixir Pills), and have received a hundredfold return reward from imparting teachings: Wanhua Wanchong Ointment (grade thirteen Elixir Pills)."
"Wanhua Wanchong Ointment: A sacred detoxifying medicine refined by an unnamed saint of medicine from the Immortal Realm using ten thousand types of Immortal Herbs and ten thousand types of poisons, capable of neutralizing most of the world's venom."
The highest he could currently reward his disciples with were grade twelve Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Immortal Pills, meaning he could not continue to give away the grade thirteen Immortal Pills he received.
Lu Changsheng didn't know if the Wanhua Wanchong Ointment would be effective.
Shangguan Zhao'er's life hung by a thread, and Lu Changsheng could not afford to hesitate any longer; he had to try it.
"Senior sister, pardon my impudence."
Lu Changsheng tore open the fabric at Shangguan Zhao'er's wounded area, then applied the Wanhua Wanchong Ointment to the wound.
Shangguan Zhao'er's beautiful face reddened, she bit her red lips lightly, and when she noticed that the ointment Lu Changsheng used was a grade thirteen Immortal Pill, her bright eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
Wanhua Wanchong Ointment was not any ordinary Immortal Pill, but a priceless grade thirteen Immortal Pill.
The medicinal power of the Wanhua Wanchong Ointment began to take effect, battling the ancient corpse poison within her body.
"Senior sister, how do you feel now?"
Lu Changsheng felt unsettled.
Shangguan Zhao'er sat in meditation to circulate her energy, and suddenly, her complexion turned deathly pale, and she coughed up another mouthful of blood.
Shangguan Zhao'er shook her head with difficulty.
Lu Changsheng's brow furrowed deeply.
The ancient corpse poison of the Yellow Springs Sect's Supreme Elder truly was domineering; even the grade thirteen Immortal Pill, Wanhua Wanchong Ointment, was ineffective against it.
He had already used two opportunities today, leaving six more chances to receive beneficial detoxifying spirit medicines through imparting teachings.
If the remaining six opportunities for imparting teachings did not yield any useful detoxifying spirit medicine, then Shangguan Zhao'er's death was certain.
"Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Ning Qianqian with Chi Hun Pill (grade twelve Elixir Pills), and have received a hundredfold return reward from imparting teachings: Taixu Pill (grade thirteen Elixir Pills)."
"Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Ning Qianqian with Sanming Xuanmen Pill (grade twelve Elixir Pills), and have received a hundredfold return reward from imparting teachings: Qiming Xuanmen Pill (grade thirteen Elixir Pills)."
The Taixu Pill failed.
The Qiming Xuanmen Pill failed.

Lu Changsheng used two more opportunities, all these premium Immortal Pills, all failures.
Lu Changsheng realized that grade thirteen Immortal Pills could not neutralize the ancient corpse poison in Shangguan Zhao'er.
To detoxify her, he would need at least a grade fourteen Immortal Pill.
"Why is the drop rate so low today?"
Lu Changsheng, usually calm and indifferent to returns, was different today; Shangguan Zhao'er was waiting for him to save her life.
There are four chances left to impart teachings.
```
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Ning Qianqian with a Thousand-Year Ice Heart Lotus (an 11th-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure), obtaining a disciple reward return of five thousand times: a Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Heart Lotus (a 13th-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure).]
...
Lu Changsheng used three more opportunities but did not receive a 14th-grade detoxifying elixir in return.
"It's the last time now, damn system, it must succeed."
Lu Changsheng murmured to himself.
This was the last disciple reward return opportunity for today.
Shangguan Zhao'er wouldn't last more than a day.
[Ding, you have taught your disciple Xiao Fan the Heavenly Mountain Ice Silkworm (an 11th-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure), obtaining a disciple reward return of six hundred and sixty-six thousand times: a Hundred-Thousand-Year Ice Toad (a 14th-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure).]
[Hundred-Thousand-Year Ice Toad: A toad that has lived for a hundred thousand years, existing only in the Guanghan Immortal Palace, extremely rare in number. As it feeds on various deadly poisons, immortals use the ice toad to neutralize all kinds of severe poisons.]
A 14th-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure?!!
The very item Lu Changsheng needed was such a level of detoxifying holy object!
Lu Changsheng extended his hand, and an ice toad appeared in the palm of his hand, emitting bone-piercing cold air, staring with "wise" big eyes, locking gazes with Lu Changsheng, and even tilting its head in confusion.
Where is this?
"Ice Toad, oh Ice Toad, it's all up to you now."
Lu Changsheng placed his hand on the toad's back, quietly circulating True Qi, urging the Hundred-Thousand-Year Ice Toad to absorb the ancient corpse poison from within Shangguan Zhao'er's body.
As Shangguan Zhao'er was feeling the discomfort, she suddenly found the ancient corpse poison within her body rapidly decreasing, and the meridians that had been corroded by the corpse poison began regaining their vitality.
The Heavenly Immortal Realm is not just a state of being; it is a symbol of cultivation. With a Heavenly Immortal's body, the vitality is extremely exuberant. As long as the ancient corpse poison is eradicated, Shangguan Zhao'er could fully recover by herself.
"Is this... an ice toad? Junior brother, how did you come to possess such a rare creature?"
Shangguan Zhao'er, having read various texts at the Jing Long Immortal Temple, knew that the ice toad was a peculiar entity found only in one of the forbidden areas of the Immortal Realm, the Guanghan Palace, which can devour most poisons.
Even Qingyue Fairy, a Daluo Golden Immortal, would find it challenging to obtain an ice toad, yet Lu Changsheng had brought out a Hundred-Thousand-Year Ice Toad!
"Acquired by chance."
Lu Changsheng found it inconvenient to explain.
The entirely snow-white ice toad gradually turned from white to gray, from gray to black, clearly having absorbed the ancient corpse poison.
With all the corpse poison in Shangguan Zhao'er's body neutralized, the ice toad even let out a satisfied burp, patted its belly with its claw, seeming quite content.
The ancient corpse poison could cause the fall of a Heavenly Immortal, yet for the ice toad, it was a feast. The ice toad indeed deserved to be a 14th-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.
"Junior brother, I feel much better... I still need to rely on you a lot this time to turn danger into safety."
Shangguan Zhao'er took out a set of clean clothes, waved her sleeve, and changed into a new fairy dress, transforming from the frail woman she had been just a moment before to a learned fairy.
"The crisis is not yet averted. I can sense Protector Han's presence drawing near. He must have a treasure that can determine direction in the Nine Nether Domain; otherwise, he wouldn't have caught up so quickly, nor would he be unworried about encountering some terrifying existences within the Nine Nether Domain."
Even Lu Changsheng dared not to roam the Nine Nether Domain at will, yet Protector Han was able to accurately navigate it, which spoke volumes of Protector Han's fearsomeness.
Shangguan Zhao'er's expression grew grave: "Protector Han comes from an ancient cultivator clan. The descendants of this ancient cultivator clan must go out to gain experience upon reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
It's precisely because of this background that he became a protector of the Jing Long Immortal Temple while still in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and even the Temple Master is reluctant to offend the ancient cultivator clan. It's also because he comes from the ancient cultivator clan that Protector Han has numerous treasures."
"I see."
Lu Changsheng wondered why Qingyue Fairy didn't try to drive away Protector Han. It turned out Protector Han had such a terrifying background.
"My injuries have only just begun to heal; I'm afraid I'm no match for him."
Shangguan Zhao'er was worried. She hadn't cultivated for very long and wouldn't be able to beat Protector Han even on a good day, let alone now that she was just recovering from a serious illness.
"Senior sister, there's no need to worry. Before coming here, I divined and found that we could turn danger into safety on this journey."
Lu Changsheng's eyes hardened; he believed in the predictions of the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, believing that a benefactor would intervene.
This is Great Fortune!
"I didn't expect you to flee here. One step further, and you will be at the Ten Thousand Zhang Abyss of the Nine Nether Domain, with nowhere to escape."
"Space Imprisonment!"
In the endless darkness, Protector Han's figure emerged like a specter, with several ultimate treasures floating around him, one of which, a mid-grade ultimate treasure, locked down the space!
This was the first time Lu Changsheng had encountered an opponent with as many treasures. Fitting of someone from an ancient cultivator clan, his actions were truly lavish.
