Chapter 667 I must bow down to the idol
Such a human tragedy, if it happened to anyone, would probably lead them to make the same choice as Ed.
Xu Ning and Ying exchanged a glance, both seeing a desire to help in each other's eyes.
"In return for your kindness, please feel free to ask if there is anything we can do to help."
Xu Ning spoke sincerely to Ed.
A look of emotion appeared on Ed's stern face.
"I'm so sorry, but if my hands hadn't started to get stiff..."
Xu Ning smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need for formalities. What do you need us to do? If it's gathering herbs, I can get them for you in no time, whether it's from the treetops or the mountaintops."
Ed was overjoyed.
"We really do need some medicinal herbs, the Sumeru Rose and the Calamity Lotus. The Sumeru Rose is alright, but the Calamity Lotus has to be picked from cliffs. Perhaps I've been under the curse for too long, and my insides have started to rot, causing my hands and feet to become less agile. I tumbled down the mountain several times today..."
Xu Ning sighed, recalling the muddy appearance of Ed when she first saw him, and was about to speak.
“I have both of these medicinal herbs here.”
Ed was overjoyed to find that Ying had brought the medicine he desperately needed with her.
"Then... could you make it for me?"
Xu Ning was completely clueless about the functions of the synthesis stage.
However, seeing Ying walk straight up and skillfully pour the medicinal herbs out of the Chenge Pot, I knew she was definitely fine.
As Ed read the list and instructions to Ying, Xu Ning simply leaned against the wooden shelf next to him and started drinking.
"...Where did you find these blood-red mushrooms? Did you cultivate them yourself? They're probably fine then. But are you sure you want to add the 'Lotus of Calamity' herb? As far as I know, legend has it that the vines of this plant were the first plants created by the Tree King, making it the ancestor of many plants in Sumeru. The divine power contained within might actually be harmful to Kalibel..."
"I know."
Ed said calmly.
Seeing that he was not impatient with her rambling on, but seemed to have expected all of this, Xu Ning stopped talking.
Ed gave a bitter smile. "Of course I've considered everything. After all, this prescription is my only hope right now. I've examined each ingredient countless times. As I said, this prescription requires the power of the Seven Gods. It's said that this medicine was once used on people suffering from hysteria."
Ying was very fast, and the extraction of various medicinal materials was also very smooth. In almost no time, a blood-red pill condensed on the synthesis table.
"Is that all?"
Xu Ning reached into his gourd, poured out some wine to help Ying wash her hands, and then asked Ed, who was holding the pills.
Ed shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile, "There are no illustrations in the book, so I don't know if this counts as finished. But it should be fine; now it's just one last step..."
Ed looked into the distance and said, word by word, "...Go and worship the statues of the Seven Gods, and ask the God of Wisdom to give the medicine the power to awaken the mind."
To send a Kanriyan to worship the seven-day idol and beg for alms?
Both Xu Ning and Ying showed signs of reluctance.
Xu Ning turned to Ying and said, "I'll go with Ed. You stay here and keep an eye on Calibel. It wouldn't be good if he woke up and wandered around."
Ying thought for a moment, nodded obediently, and turned to go back into the house.
Xu Ning turned to Ed and asked, "Have you packed up the medicine? Let's go."
There is a statue of the Seven Gods nearby.
When Xu Ning entered Sumeru, he even climbed up it.
However, when Xu Ning saw the statue again, he found that it was much more dilapidated than when he had seen it before.
It's as if it has been ravaged by war or hatred.
With a pull, Xu Ning lifted Ed into the air and brought him directly to the statue.
"Do you expect me to bow down to something like this?"
Ed looked up at the stone statue in front of him, his face full of pain.
