Yang Qing and the two alchemists nodded at his remark. Flowing Valley Sect had made its bones in alchemy and the strides it has made, no organization in the continent comes close. They occasionally make public some of their research arts, one of which was the spiritual kindling cleansing art which was highly appreciated by the alchemist community around the continent, with their greatest dangers of the job being accumulated pill poisoning.
The art itself was simple enough and anybody could use it as long as they knew an orange-grade flame art suitable with alchemy, the night star rowan tree was a sky rank tree though at the top tier, and the water from a middle-grade spirit vein was common enough that it could be bought by spirit stones from any merchant organization and even other alchemy organizations.
Its simplicity, affordability, and practicality made the art, a ubiquitous art around the continent.
"When I used the spiritual kindling cleansing art, Daoist Li Shu's skin changed. Green, red, and pale white markings appeared on her skin, and later a thick green smog was produced from her body.
That basically confirmed that she had pill poisoning, and from the scale of the smoke produced from her body, it could only be if it had accumulated in her for quite some time. Her level matched what a seasoned alchemist would get after concocting potions and pills for at least seven years.
With the malady identified, I went ahead and used the violet flame purging acupuncture technique that we use at the pavilion to purge the toxins accumulated in our bodies.
It always works on me perfectly, so I thought it should do the trick on Li Shu since we are basically of the same cultivation base.
It seemed to be working at first, but as time went by, whatever materials that had accumulated in her body started absorbing the flames produced by the technique and became stronger, and purging them got harder by the second..."
Vice Palace Master Pan Xin gave an overview of the acupuncture art, without giving too much away about its core details since it was one of the core arts of the Blue River Cauldron Pavilion.
If he gave out the core details, it was basically giving out their core art. Though Pan Xin felt like the people present could likely decipher their art with the information he had given out. The art was a top-tier orange-grade art, that the previous palace master had bargained for in the market fair, in exchange for 100 sky rank recipes.
The art was a prized treasure for the pavilion, and those who knew it were the palace master, Pan Xin, and four other senior alchemists of the organization who had been with the pavilion for over 100 years and were orange-grade alchemists.
To them, it was a valuable art, but Pan Xin felt to Yang Qing and the two alchemists, it was no more important than dumplings being sold at the sideway stall.
With their stations and abilities, they likely had access to hundreds of arts that matched the violet flame-purging acupuncture art.
Pan Xin wouldn't even mind exposing every little detail of the art, but the rules of the cultivation world had to be observed, especially ones tied to core arts. So he had to be careful about how much he gave away in his explanation, but when it came to the changes that happened to Li Shu as he was executing the art, he was as thorough with the details as possible, explaining every minute change he observed.
"When I saw I was getting nowhere with the violet flame purging acupuncture art, that was when I decided to involve Palace Master Meng Ye..."
On reaching this point, Vice Palace Master Pan Xin respectfully gestured for the palace master to take over.
"With vice palace master Pan Xin's explanation of the situation at the time, and with my own observations, I arrived at the same conclusion as him, which one, Daoist Li Shu had pill poisoning and the level was high enough to the point of assuming she had accumulated it for more than five years.
I tried using the violet flame purging acupuncture art since I have slightly more familiarity with it than vice palace master Pan Xin and thought the results would be different. That it would work, but it failed and since the art requires close contact with the person being treated, I almost got infected by the pill poison that had built up inside her.
In all my years, I haven't seen pill poisoning that acted like that. It seemed more like a live curse than anything...
With the failure of the acupuncture art and the added risk of getting poisoned ourselves, i opted we use a formation array to cleanse her of the pill poison.
Though the grade of the array is the same as the acupuncture art, its powers of cleansing are much stronger since it has the support of treasures and more than one person can operate it to increase its cleansing abilities.
The name of the array is the blue river harmony cleansing array and is a top tier orange grade formation that we have used countless times to perform cleansing en masse on our members.
Vice palace master Pan Xin and I operated the array, but even after three days of operating the array non-stop, we didn't manage to remove the pill poison completely, and it even seemed like it had mutated somewhat.
To avoid any further risk I decided we stop with the treatment using the array. Whatever pill poisoning she has, it was beyond our ability to treat, and I judged us continuing may very well cause irreversible damage to her, so we stopped.
With nothing left to try, at least not with our abilities, I gave her three options that may work. Which was to seek the help of a blue-grade alchemist to help her purge the pill poison in her body, find a palace realm expert to do it, or finally use morning lily heartseed.
Despite telling her this, I knew how difficult it was, to just find one of the three options I had given her. But it's the best we could do.." A soft sigh escaped her lips as she said this.
"I'm sorry Daoist Li Shu.." she added as she cupped her fist apologetically at Li Shu.
