Chapter 416: Butterfly Reflection
Chapter 416: Butterfly Reflection
So the bride ghost outside is the Die'er he mentioned?
Thinking of the groom he had never met, Bai Sinan asked, "Then do you know who she is going to marry?"
"Not...clear..." He answered slowly, and each word seemed to be squeezed out from his throat with difficulty.
"You don't seem to want her to get married?"
The man's body trembled slightly, as if he was pricked by something. He shook his head slowly, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible: "I... don't... as long as she... can... be... happy... that's all..."
Bai Sinan frowned and thought, this man's concern for the bride ghost was obviously beyond the ordinary, could they be brother and sister? But why did she always feel something was wrong?
The man took two steps forward. Bai Sinan subconsciously tensed up and asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"
"Die'er...it's painful...please..." There was deep pleading in his voice.
"You want me to help you?"
The man nodded immediately, his movements stiff but eager.
"You should know that the Die'er you mentioned has turned into a fierce ghost. Now I can't even protect myself, let alone help you."
"I...have a way..."
He turned around and gently turned the bottle on top of the medicine cabinet. The cabinet opened in the middle, revealing a dark passage.
"Follow... me..." He motioned Bai Sinan to follow and walked into the passage first.
Bai Sinan himself couldn't explain why he believed this ghost, but his footsteps unconsciously followed the ghost into the depths of the secret room.
The narrow stone room was clean and tidy, with a bronze cauldron standing quietly in the center. Yellowed books on elixir and celadon medicine bottles were densely arranged on the wooden shelves around the walls. Every book and every porcelain bottle was wiped spotless, except for the narrow wooden couch in the corner, which looked a little lonely. The bedding was old, but it was folded neatly, and it seemed that someone had lived here for a long time and alone.
"It's... safe here... She... can't find it..."
Bai Sinan nodded. She indeed could not sense any ghost energy here, and her suppressed spiritual power was gradually recovering.
"Thank you, but my friend is still being hunted in the city. I can't hide here forever. Besides, there's no way I can help you like this."
"You...can...make pills..."
Bai Sinan was stunned: "You know I'm an alchemist?"
The man nodded, walked to the mattress and carefully took out a yellowed paper from under the pillow.
"Refine... this..."
Bai Sinan took it and unfolded it, and saw a record of a medicinal pill called "Qidi Zhaoying".
"Did you develop this yourself?" Bai Sinan asked doubtfully.
"Yes……"
"Hmm...Looking at the effects, it seems to just be for strengthening the body. Are you sure it works?"
The man nodded vigorously, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Okay." Bai Sinan no longer hesitated and walked to the bronze cauldron, ready to refine the elixir.
The ingredients in the recipe were basically very common, and she could easily get them in the Supreme Domain, but...
"What is this 'Qidi'?" Bai Sinan frowned. She had never heard of this medicinal herb.
The man carefully took out a porcelain bottle from his arms: "Here you go..."
Bai Sinan took the bottle, opened it and sniffed it. There was a strange floral scent mixed with a strange sweet and fishy smell.
She was even more confused. How could this "dwelling butterfly" look like some kind of blood? Could it really be okay to put this thing in the elixir for the evil spirits?
She looked at the man's determined eyes, then stopped thinking and started to make the elixir.
In less than half an incense stick of time, a pill emitting a strange fragrance appeared in Bai Sinan's hands.
