The road is right under your feet

Chapter 169 Dragon Scale Grass

Bai Xing suddenly opened his eyes, and the first thing he felt was a warm body and arms that were frozen numb.

Is that... a dream?

Bai Xing clutched the clothes on his chest tightly with lingering fear.

Suddenly, something flew towards him and he subconsciously tried to avoid it.

"Open your mouth."

A low shout suddenly came from his ear and exploded in Bai Xing's mind. He hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth.

A round thing enters the mouth and melts directly in it.

......Pills?

Bai Xing frowned slightly, and then a strong pain attacked his heart, like peeling off silk threads from a cocoon, excruciating pain.

"Life-eating poison devours vitality. This pill can help you stimulate the potential hidden deep within you and bring it to its full potential, so as to resist the pain of losing vitality."

"But this process is extremely painful. I have protected your heart..."

The sound in his ears gradually faded away, Bai Xing's consciousness became drowsy, and only the pain was magnified countless times.

Immediately afterwards, a stern voice woke Bai Xing up. Bai Xing's originally heavy eyelids opened instantly, and a magnified handsome face appeared in front of him.

"You...are?" Shirahoshi said weakly.

He subconsciously tried to distance himself a little, but it was difficult for him to even move his fingers. The pain penetrated his bones, and only numbness remained.

"Little guy, I am your dean." Qin Xu flicked Bai Xing's forehead with his finger.

Bai Xing's expression remained unchanged, "Meet... Dean."

Qin Xu nodded, swam past Bai Xing, came behind him, stretched out his hand, and removed all the clothes on Bai Xing's upper body.

"I will use a secret method to suppress the poison in your body. You must stay awake during this process, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted."

"Don't worry." Bai Xing nodded, "I can handle this little pain."

"Uh......"

Bai Xing groaned in pain. Qin Xu glanced at the back of Bai Xing's head. "You can't even speak clearly, and you're still trying to show off?"

Qin Xu kept changing his gestures, moving quickly on Bai Xing's back, and Bai Xing's face became more painful with every touch.

"seal up!"

As Qin Xu uttered a word, a complex pattern appeared on Bai Xing's back, extending all the way to Bai Xing's left arm.

It forms a strange and mysterious totem.

The moment the totem appeared, Shirahoshi finally couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.

Qin Xu caught Bai Xing's body as it slid into the water and placed him against the edge of the pool.

Elder Liu looked at Bai Xing's sleeping face and walked over. "How is it?"

Qin Xu shook his head and sighed, "I can only suppress it temporarily, but the Life-Devouring Poison will still eat away at his vitality."

Elder Liu frowned, "Is there any other solution?"

Qin Xu pondered and said, "It is said that there was a sacred tree in ancient times, called the Evergreen Tree. This tree contains endless vitality, is immune to all poisons, and thrives forever."

"If you take its branches and leaves, you may be able to neutralize its poison."

Qin Xu said, shaking his head again, "It's a pity that the ancient sacred tree no longer exists in the world."

"Even if there are still evergreen trees left, he only has one year left..."

"No." Elder Liu pondered, "Perhaps there is a place where we can find traces of this tree."

"You mean..." Qin Xu's mind moved, "the secret realm that is about to be revealed?"

"That's right." Elder Liu nodded. "That secret realm is one of the oldest known secret realms. No one knows what is inside. Perhaps we can find some clues inside."

Qin Xu's eyes flickered, "Then let's see what happens next."

......

It was three days later when Bai Xing woke up again. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw an unfamiliar roof.

"Sir, are you awake?"

"Ouch~!"

Zhuo Pingjian, who was standing by, cried out in surprise when he saw Bai Xing wake up. His body moved faster than his brain and he rolled off the stool.

Bai Xing's eyes rolled, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and asked anxiously: "How long have I slept? What time is it now?"

Zhuo Pingjian stood up with a hiss and straightened his clothes. Hearing this, he said in a rather distressed tone: "Sir, you have slept for three full days, and now it is the afternoon."

"Three days?" Shirahoshi muttered to himself, "Is the competition over?"

Zhuo Pingjian nodded, "Yes, sir, you don't know how worried we were during the time you were in a coma. His Highness hasn't woken up yet. If he knew that you were fine, he would definitely be very happy."

Bai Xing was stunned and murmured, "Not awake yet?"

Suddenly, Bai Xing's head started to hurt. The scenes in his dream reoccupied his mind and his heart began to tremble.

Zhuo Pingjian quickly covered his mouth and couldn't help but want to give himself a big slap.

Bai Xing suddenly asked: "What's wrong with him? What happened?"

Zhuo Pingjian knew he couldn't hide it, so he stammered, "This...I don't know either."

Facing Bai Xing's increasingly dangerous gaze, Zhuo Pingjian hurriedly said, "Sir, I really don't know."

"I also received an internal message from Disha two days ago. The content was roughly that His Highness was injured and unconscious, and that we needed to find a magical medicine called Dragon Scale Grass."

"Besides, you have been injured for many days, and Your Highness has not responded. I thought that Your Highness might not have woken up yet."

Zhuo Pingjian spoke softer and softer, and in the end, if it weren't for Shirahoshi's extraordinary hearing, it would be almost inaudible.

He had seen Dragon Scale Grass in the Complete Collection of Spiritual Medicines. It was not introduced in detail, but it was said to be a spiritual grass that grew on dragon bones and was shaped like dragon scales, hence its name. It was extremely rare.

Now, there are no real dragons in this world, where can we find dragon scale grass?

Bai Xing felt a chill in his heart and his vision suddenly went dark.

Zhuo Pingjian quickly stepped forward to steady him.

Bai Xing stopped and asked, "What happened?"

Zhuo Pingjian said, "This... I just heard about it. I heard that the people of the Blood Blade Sect have joined forces with some unknown force and have repeatedly invaded our Dayun border. Your Highness is dedicated to the people and went there in person."

"Then, the other party invited dozens of powerful people in the Spirit Realm from somewhere to kill Your Highness."

"Where is this?" Bai Xing leaned against the head of the bed and closed his eyes.

"This is on the flying boat heading to the secret realm."

Hearing this, Bai Xing opened his eyes and licked his bloodless lips, "Can everyone go?"

It took Zhuo Pingjian several seconds to understand what Bai Xing said.

He shook his head. "That's not the case. Apart from the dean and his colleagues, there are only a hundred students on this flying boat."

"One hundred people?" Bai Xing closed his eyes. "You mean, I am also among these one hundred people?"

"Yes, sir, you are also on the list this time."

Without waiting for Bai Xing to continue asking questions, Zhuo Pingjian handed over a jade slip.

"This is what Elder Liu told me to give to you personally after you wake up. He said you will understand after reading it."
