BXBX NOVEL Chapter 120 - Celestial Elixir
Chapter 120: Celestial Elixir
Ross Collin III looked at Fike in disbelief once again as he said weakly.
“Since… you want to try it… then… go ahead.
“Someone, come.”
Saunders, the steward, immediately pushed open the door as he heard the king’s call.
“Your Majesty, what can I do for you?”
“Go… take my son-in-law… to the Medicine Hall.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Saunders stood up and prepared to bring Fike to the Medicine Hall.
Seeing that Fike was about to leave, a hint of anxiety crossed Lan Xi’s face.
Ross Collin III seemed to have been able to see through his daughter’s thoughts.
As such, he added.
“Saunders… take the ninth princess… with you…”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Lan Xi glanced back at her father who was seriously ill before walking quietly out of the door with Saunders and Fike.
As soon as they were out, Saunders asked Fike.
“Prince Consort, May I ask why you are going to the Medicine Hall? Can you tell me about it?”
Fike smiled as he answered.
“To refine some medicine for His Majesty, of course!”
“Refine medicine?”
Saunders studied the young man in his early twenties in disbelief.
“Does the Prince Consort have such a proficient ability in refining medicine?”
Fike remained smiling at Saunders, but did not answer.
They were eventually led to the Medicine Hall in the palace, which had clearly been built spectacularly.
Compared to the facility in the Spell School, this was a completely different world.
“Prince Consort, I’ve brought you to your destination. I won’t be of disturbance anymore!”
Following that, Saunders left the pharmacy.
Lan Xi turned to Fike.
“Darling, can you really make a pill to save my father?”
Fike looked back at her lovingly.
“When have I ever lied to you? Besides, would I joke at such a critical moment?
“Do you still remember the magic cauldron you gave me, the Asclepius’ Sacred Treasure?”
As he spoke, Fike procured the item.
“The magic cauldron…” Lan Xi quietly.
“At the time, I thought you had been planning to give this thing away! I didn’t think you would be planning to use it yourself.”
Fike smiled.
“Let’s start now, Lan Xi!”
Lan Xi nodded and looked into Fike’s eyes with certainty.
“What do I need to do?”
“Help me find a 30-year-old Ascending Spirit Herb, three Purple-gold Cardamoms, a Thousand-year-old Sunflower Seed, and the stamen of a Mystic Ice Rose.”
Once he had delegated Lan Xi her tasks, Fike got busy himself.
“Flaming Sunflower… Flaming Sunflower!
“Found it!”
The place was huge, with a countless number of cabinets for storing herbs. Fike spent quite an effort in finding the ones specified by the hidden message.
After a while, Lan Xi returned, handing him all the materials she found.
Just then, Fike had been looking for the last ingredient.
A mysterious smile crossed his face as he took the herb from Lan Xi’s hands.
“Saunders!”
Fike called.
Saunders immediately opened the door.
“Prince Consort, what can I do for you?”
“Just bring me one of the pills that His Majesty usually takes!”
“Yes, Prince Consort!”
After a while, Saunders returned to the Medicine Hall. His face revealed his doubt as he procured a pill.
“Here, Sir!”
Now that he had all he needed, Fike finally began refining the antidote.
He started a fire with his bare hands to heat up the magic cauldron.
Saunders, who hadn’t yet left the room, was somewhat taken aback by this.
“Can… can you really refine medicine like this?”
Saunders couldn’t help himself from asking.
After a while, the temperature of the cauldron rose to its maximum.
Fike tore up a piece of Ascending Spirit Herb and threw it into the cauldron. Soon, the herb was reduced to a puddle of medicinal liquid.
Similarly, in the next few moments, Fike skillfully threw the other herbs into the mix as well.
Soon, he had added all the herbs he had collected into the cauldron. His free hand began to gesture, controlling the magic cauldron as it whipped around in the air.
At this point, Saunders had been completely blown away by the proficiency of the young man in front of him.
He stood there for a long time, forgetting to leave.
“Maybe… His Majesty can really be saved!”
Lan Xi was looking at Fike as well.
The silver-haired young man was becoming more and more important in her heart by the moment.
She looked on in infatuation, slowly immersing herself in the scene.
Fike instinctively felt that the pill was about to be complete, and suddenly shouted.
“Mr. Saunders! Quick, add some water in!”
Saunders, still a little stunned by Fike’s performance, did not recover for a while.
It took another shout from Lan Xi to snap him back to his senses and react.
Saunders immediately went to fetch a bucket of water.
“Prince Consort, where do you want it?”
“Pour it into the cauldron!”
Saunders couldn’t believe his ears, but he trusted the young man.
“I… I’ll pour it!”
“Do it!”
With a splash, the entire bucket was emptied into the cauldron. The moment it made contact, it turned into a strange vapor.
Once the smoke had dissipated, a black pill was ejected out of the magic cauldron.
[Hidden Information: Celestial Elixir, King-tier pill. Nemesis of all poisons. As long as the patient hasn’t lost all signs of life, their body will recover upon consuming it.]
After seeing the hidden message, Fike smiled and turned to Lan Xi.
“We did it! We did it!”
Seeing Fike so happy, Lan Xi realized that it had been a success as well.
She hugged Fike, sharing the joy.
“What did you do? Can you let me see?”
A sharp voice came abruptly from outside the door.
The pair turned around.
They found a person who was dressed luxuriously, with an appearance that was a bit oriental.
The murderous aura exuding from his face would’ve made any ordinary person who approached him shudder.
This was the Third Prince of the Lieluo Empire, Luo Minzhang.
“This old servant greets Your Highness, the Third Prince.”
“No need for formalities!”
“Thank You, Your Highness, the Third Prince.”
Facing the somewhat arrogant and despotic Third Prince in front of him, there was no trace of fear in Fike’s heart.
“You are Ninth Sister’s husband?”
Luo Minzhang asked.
“Yes, I am.”
Fike answered.
“Then, do a husband’s duty!”
Luo Minzhang remarked coldly, making a gesture with his hand as he continued.
“You are not a doctor! Take care of your own body!”
Lan Xi saw this and asked.
“Third brother, what do you mean?”
Luo Minzhang revealed a menacing smile.
“What do I mean?
“Isn’t it obvious?”
