Chapter 755: Establishing the Purple Flame Palace!?
The old turtle seemed to be preparing some kind of medicinal liquid, completely focused.
Fang Yu walked up behind it, and it didn’t notice him.
To avoid disturbing the old turtle, Fang Yu didn’t speak.
Only when the old turtle put down the prepared medicine did Fang Yu ask: “How’s the situation?”
The old turtle was startled and turned around. Seeing Fang Yu, it scolded: “Couldn’t you make some noise before coming in? Do you know how old I am? If you scare me to death, that little girl can’t be saved either! Don’t you understand!?”
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault.” Fang Yu apologized directly without explaining.
The old turtle stroked the beard on its chin and said: “You’re early. Everything here is still a mess, and I haven’t figured anything out yet.”
“Where is Ling’er?” Fang Yu asked.
“In the ice cave at the back,” the old turtle answered. “I’ve noticed that the temperature of her blood continues to rise, so I had to put her in the ice cave to slow down the rate of blood temperature increase. After all, the human body has its limits. If her blood temperature gets too high, it will either cause her blood to dry up or burn through her blood vessels. At that point, even the gods couldn’t save her.”
“I’ll go see her,” Fang Yu said.
“Perfect timing. I just prepared some special medicine to see if it has any effect,” the old turtle said as it walked forward.
The two passed through the cave and came to the back area.
After walking for several minutes, the scenery suddenly changed from lush greenery to a blanket of white.
It was like suddenly moving from spring to winter.
“You’ve got all four seasons in this small world of yours,” Fang Yu remarked.
“It’s necessary. I often come to this snowy area to hibernate, which is quite comfortable,” the old turtle said.
The old turtle led Fang Yu into an ice cave.
Inside the cave, Ling’er was lying on an ice bed with her eyes tightly closed.
Her skin was very pale.
Fang Yu stepped forward and placed his hand on Ling’er’s skin, feeling intense heat.
This temperature was at least twice that of a normal person.
Most people would have already died from such a high body temperature.
But Ling’er’s breathing was steady, as if she were just sleeping peacefully.
“The only symptoms are coma and continuously rising blood temperature, far exceeding what a human body can normally reach. These are the only two symptoms,” the old turtle said. “It’s strange. In all these years, I’ve never seen anything like this.”
“What I need to figure out now is what’s causing her blood temperature to keep rising.”
“Without understanding this issue, it’s impossible to restore her to normal.”
As he spoke, the old turtle shook the medicine bottle he had just prepared and said to Fang Yu: “Help her sit up and open her mouth.”
Fang Yu did as instructed, slightly opening Ling’er’s mouth.
Then, the old turtle poured the medicine into Ling’er’s mouth.
After laying Ling’er back down, the medicine would automatically flow into her stomach.
“What kind of medicine is this?” Fang Yu asked.
“It’s for reducing temperature, but it may not work. I even think that in her condition, oral medication might be useless,” the old turtle said. “If it doesn’t work, we’ll have to speed up our research to find the root cause of her blood temperature increase before it becomes uncontrollable.”
Fang Yu nodded.
“Is there anything I can help with?” Fang Yu asked.
“Not at the moment, but I should tell you that ten days might not be enough to figure out her condition. It might take a month, or two months,” the old turtle said. “Or perhaps… we won’t find the cause until she dies. You should be mentally prepared.”
“Yes, I understand,” Fang Yu replied. “But regarding her temperature, why can’t we use true qi to create cold energy and channel it into her body to reduce the temperature?”
“That absolutely won’t work because the meridians in her body are in an extremely chaotic state. The influx of external true qi might cause her meridians to rupture… making her condition even more serious,” the old turtle explained.
Fang Yu, aware of the old turtle’s medical expertise, nodded and said no more.
“I’ll be going then,” Fang Yu said.
“Oh, if possible, bring me a Taisu Snow Lotus. I’ll need it later,” the old turtle said.
“Taisu Snow Lotus…” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered.
This herb was extremely rare.
It had a very long growth cycle and could only be found on extremely high snowy peaks.
“Is this herb very important?” Fang Yu asked.
“Very important. Without it, I can’t completely analyze this little girl’s blood,” the old turtle said.
“I’ll do my best to find it,” Fang Yu said.
A few minutes later, Fang Yu left the small world and used his spatial ring to teleport directly to Yinlin Manor, located in the northernmost part of North City.
Whether it was about the Taisu Snow Lotus or other issues, Fang Yu needed to consult with Huaixu.
Fang Yu arrived at the small wooden building where they had tea last time but didn’t see Huaixu.
So, Fang Yu sat down on a chair and waited quietly.
Water marks suddenly appeared on the table in front of him, gradually forming a sentence.
“Please wait a moment.”
Fang Yu sat on the chair in the small wooden building, looking at the scenery outside, his eyes flickering.
Yesterday, he had learned a lot about the Demon Cult from Ye Shengxue.
After hearing it all, he realized that the Demon Cult wasn’t as simple as he had imagined.
Their entire cult was currently fanatically focused on one thing.
Resurrection.
Ye Shengxue said she wasn’t clear about exactly what they wanted to resurrect, but during her time in the Demon Cult, she often heard this word.
And the Demon Cult was indeed carrying out some disgustingly cruel activities.
They would often capture large groups of people and send them into an underground chamber.
Then, bone-chilling screams would come from the chamber, along with the roars of some monsters.
But the entity controlling Ye Shengxue’s mind had never allowed her to approach the underground chamber.
Therefore, Ye Shengxue didn’t know what was hidden there.
Recently, before meeting with Fang Yu, she had seen a figure she would never forget in her life.
A real demon!
Its appearance was exactly like the demons of legend, with a skull-like head covered in a layer of dry, wrinkled greenish skin.
It wore a cloak and entered the underground chamber.
About three days later, it came out again.
By then, the demon’s size had increased several times compared to when it went in.
A group of Demon Cult members surrounded it, their faces filled with fanaticism.
Then, the demon spoke in an extremely unpleasant voice, saying one sentence.
“The flood is coming, we… will resurrect!”
Regarding this memory described by Ye Shengxue, Fang Yu was filled with confusion.
Resurrection… this word had appeared too many times recently.
First, it was the resurrection of the Immortal Clan, then Dao Kong’s mention of the coming flood… and now, the Demon Cult’s talk of resurrection…
These alien races seemed to share a consensus.
That some kind of existence was about to resurrect.
The flood they spoke of… what exactly was it?
At this moment, Fang Yu suddenly recalled his previous journey to the Far North, at the boundary guarded by the Blizzard Tribe, and that strange voice deep within that could control the emotions of magical beasts…
Fang Yu had a feeling that in this world, something was happening on another side invisible to humans.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the various strange phenomena encountered in the past year.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Huaixu’s voice came from outside.
Fang Yu came back to his senses. Huaixu was already sitting across from him, brewing tea.
“If you want to find me, you should let me know in advance, otherwise I might not notice,” Huaixu smiled.
“I just returned from elsewhere, so it was a bit rushed,” Fang Yu said.
“It’s fine. If you hadn’t come to find me, I would have gone to find you,” Huaixu said.
“What’s the matter?” Fang Yu asked.
“Recently, I received news about the remnants of the Purple Flame Palace,” Huaixu said.
Fang Yu’s expression immediately changed.
He knew that Huaixu was referring to the remnants of the Purple Flame Palace!
So, Fang Yu asked: “They’ve appeared?”
Huaixu nodded and said: “Yes, they appeared in Wen’an City in the central region, seven people in total.”
“What did they do?” Fang Yu asked, his eyes turning cold.
“They went to the Martial Arts Association in Wen’an City,” Huaixu paused, then continued, “They applied for permission from the Martial Arts Association to establish a sect in the mountains south of Wen’an City, naming it the Purple Flame Palace.”
