"Good, that is as it should be!" Elder Zhang nodded. "The Ice Spirit Sacred Fruit is ready, picked just now. With this thing, the fresher it is, the more marked its effect!"
"Thank you for your trouble, Elder Zhang!" Tang Zhi said gratefully.
Elder Zhang said nothing more, but strode quickly into the room. Just then, the one who had gone to pick the Ice Spirit Sacred Fruit returned as well, handed a small box to Elder Zhang, and turned to take his leave, not daring to linger a moment longer.
Elder Zhang swiftly opened the little box and took from it a fruit shaped like a ginseng root, crystalline throughout, pure white and flawless, giving off wave upon wave of cold air. The fruit's substance was like transparent jelly, yet not so soft, and everyone present felt a breath of incomparable freshness that lifted their spirits at once.
"What a fresh aura..." Ever since that strange ordeal, Tang Zhi had possessed a far keener intuition for and control over cold air than ordinary people.
"The Ice Spirit Sacred Fruit grows beneath the ice layers of the bitterly cold Snow Valley. For those who practice the utmost yang mental cultivation methods and fire-attribute methods, it is an indispensable sovereign remedy for curing deviation in cultivation." Elder Zhang explained as he spoke, yet his hands never paused for an instant. As though by magic, he swiftly divided the Ice Spirit Sacred Fruit. There was no knife in his hand; it was plain that he was cutting it with true qi, and to be capable of such a feat left Tang Zhi and the others deeply astonished.
Once the Ice Spirit Sacred Fruit was cut, Elder Zhang at once put it into Wei Zhao's mouth. The movement was flowing and natural, without the slightest hesitation. After feeding Wei Zhao the fruit, Elder Zhang sent a current of cold air into his body as well, and only when all this was done did he say, "There, that will do! He is out of danger now!"
"Thank you, Elder Zhang!" Hearing his words, Tang Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu breathed a sigh of relief as well. Though the Grand Elder had the day before channeled cold air into Wei Zhao's body to check his fire poison, Wei Zhao's complexion had remained very poor; but today, after taking the Ice Spirit Sacred Fruit, his color slowly returned to normal...
Yet though Wei Zhao's complexion had returned to normal, he did not wake, which puzzled Tang Zhi and the others greatly.
Elder Zhang, however, was the first to clear up their doubts. "I have here a prescription. Prepare the medicine according to the ingredients and methods written upon it and give it to him, and within a month at the most he will wake!"
"Another month..." Tang Zhi was somewhat disappointed, and yet somewhat glad. If Wei Zhao woke now, and saw her, how was she to face him? Both the Grand Elder and Elder Zhang had said that once he drank the Herb of Forgetfulness potion, he would forget his beloved when next he woke. Would Wei Zhao have already forgotten her?
And so Tang Zhi began to fret over her gains and losses.
