The Villain's Redemption Chapter 116 Scheme and Efforts

Chapter 116 Scheme and Efforts

Fang Ling'er stared at Fang Yu who was still in a daze, seeing the look in her cousin's eyes was enough to make her elated. Clearly, Fang Yu had no idea what she was doing. After all, this disease was kept a secret and not many people knew about the plague down south.

The Potioneering Guild and the Guild of Artifacts actually keep it a secret to avoid ma.s.s panic. However, Fang Ling'er was different. She had been close to Xiawen Dong and she heard a few things from the man's mouth especially when he was drunk. She knew about this plague and she also knew that the Potioneering Guild are trying their best to find a cure.

Therefore, Fang Ling'er tried her best to talk to one of the people in charge of this matter and gave them a very important herb that she got from her husband. In return, they agreed to give her the formula for the cure so she could study and improve its effectiveness.

This formula had been with Fang Ling'er for a few months now. Meaning, she was already very familiar with it. She could even do it with her eyes closed. Of course, she also found a way to enhance its effects. However, she had kept it a secret for a while now.

When Fang Ling'er heard that Fang Yu was already back, she immediately requested to see the elder of the Potioneering Guild and told them about the compet.i.tion. She also told them that she was planning to show them the results of her study during this compet.i.tion. When the elders heard this, they immediately agreed to her proposal as they were excited about her results as well.

In fact, the elder who came here today didn't care about Fang Yu. All he cared about was the new and improved potion that could suppress the symptoms of the plague. Fang Ling'er immediately started working, her delicate hands were fast and precise, something that she had achieved from practicing in the past few months.

She had spent weeks holed up in her cave just to improve this potion. Thus, she was very excited to show off this formidable improvement. She lifted her head and almost laughed out loud when she saw Fang Yu stared at the herbs in front of her.

Just as expected, the woman had no clue about anything. In Fang Ling'er's mind, Fang Yu was only excellent because she found a good master. If she didn't, there was no way that this woman would be able to become as powerful as she was now.

Slowly, Fang Yu started to gather herbs. From time to time, she would pause as she would calculate the number of herbs needed. This was after all an impromptu potion making and Fang Yu needed a bit more time to a.n.a.lyze everything in front of her.

'Use the eight hundred-year-old black lotus.' Again, Mo Li's words drifted in her head. 'Eight hundred. No more. No less.'

Fang Yu didn't have the time to even think about it, she waved her hand and added the lotus in her current herbs before she started processing it. For some reason, she had this instinct that Mo Li would not suggest something that would make her lose this compet.i.tion. Moreover, now that she thought about it, using a black lotus is indeed useful in potions for damaged souls and the sea of consciousness.

Confident that she was doing all the right things, Fang Yu decided to stop thinking about the source of Mo Li's knowledge and finish as soon as possible. Using her own fire, Fang Yu started brewing her potion while ignoring the mocking gaze that Fang Ling'er was giving her from time to time.

After half an hour of brewing, Fang Ling'er words reached her ears. "I am done, Elder." Fang Ling'er gave a gentle smile while looking at Fang Yu who just started brewing her potions a few minutes back. "Please check the potion, honorable Elder Xiao."

Elder Xiao's eyes widened when he heard Fang Ling'er's words. A potion like this… required about an hour to brew! And yet, Fang Ling'er finished it just like that? He immediately appeared next to Fang Ling'er and accepted the small vial. Smelling the aroma of various herbs, the Elder forced himself to hide the smile on his face.

"Alright." He pretended to hide the excitement on his face. "Remove it." He ordered his people to remove the cover. Looking at the now weak human inside the cage, the elder summoned chains made of water to subdue the man and forced him to open his mouth.

Without any hesitation, the Elder poured the contents of the potion inside the man's mouth. The normal potion would take at least an hour before it would start showing some results. However, this potion is different and had been improved, so the result might be different. As if on cue, the swelling in the man's face started to disappear, revealing the countenance of an old man that looked as if he was only thirty years old. It only took fifteen minutes and the swelling completely disappeared!

This…

The elder immediately started beaming. "This potion is excellent! Excellent indeed! It was able to suppress the swelling." When he saw the man���s face turned ugly, the Elder immediately knew that the potion only suppressed the swelling and not the pain.

"I want to die…" the man slowly uttered. "Painful… please … kill me." He gritted his teeth and started shouting from the pain.

"Elder…" Fang Ling'er sweet voice reached his ears. "Is... Is it effective?"

"Yes. Yes… it was able to remove the swelling. Unfortunately, it wasn't able to remove the pain that the patient was feeling." He waved his hand and a barrier appeared in the cage, preventing them from hearing the man's screams. "But this should be alright. Without the swelling, we would be able to a.n.a.lyze the other effects of the disease in the body."

"Then… Then… does this mean that I won?" Tears of happiness pooled in Fang Ling'er's eyes, making her look more enchanting. However, before the Elder could answer her, Fang Yu's voice echoed.

"I think… I successfully created something that could cure the man. Not suppress but completely cure him." Fang Yu raised her head and smiled at the Elder. "I hope the honorable elder can check the result of my efforts."
