Chapter 218 The Art of Summoning Spirits
He Fei didn't dare to say anything more. The person who poisoned her was really ruthless. This poison was very potent and had a very short onset time. It was undoubtedly intended to kill her mother in a short period of time.
But who exactly wanted to poison her mother?
"By the way, the housekeeper told me that Mother was like this after she went out to discuss business. What kind of business was it?"
He Fei remembered what the housekeeper had said. No wonder her mother had been left unattended lately, and her mother had taken over the family business.
Since she came back like this after going out, the person who was discussing business with her mother must be the one who poisoned her.
"Yes! It's the Second Elder of the Chen family! The Chen family has always been a family of alchemists, so naturally they also know how to concoct poisons. I had completely forgotten about that!"
He Fei said with annoyance, "We already had some issues, and now we've let her mother go out to negotiate business alone. We were so careless!"
He Fei's pretty face was full of frost; this second elder of the Chen family seemed to have gone a bit too far.
"cough cough"
The woman on the bed coughed twice and gradually woke up. Upon hearing this sound, He Fei quickly turned around, leaned against her mother's window, and took her hand.
"Fei'er, what brings you here?"
The mother's voice was still a little weak, but it couldn't hide her excitement. He Fei hadn't been back for a long time, but she never expected that her return would be like this.
"Mother, don't speak yet. This is a healing medicine. Take it first."
He Fei quickly took the pills from the man's hand, poured one out and placed it in her fair palm, then handed it to her mother.
The mother took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp. Her face turned rosy, and she could clearly feel that her life force had become stronger, no longer as weak as before.
"Daughter, thank you for your trouble. I never expected something like this to happen. You must be exhausted after working so hard for so long."
The mother looked at He Fei's pale face with heartache. It was obvious that she had run all the way here and helped her detoxify, which had taken a lot of energy.
"It's alright, Mother. As long as you're alright, I'm willing to endure any hardship." He Fei hugged her mother and said from the bottom of her heart. This time, hearing the news that her mother had been poisoned was really frightening. Fortunately, she had studied medicine for so long, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to do anything.
"Fei'er, now that you're back, don't leave. Let's have a meal together and keep your aunt company. Anyway, the Grand Elder and the others don't dare to monitor you anymore," Chen Feng said to He Fei.
"Mm." He Fei nodded and continued to take care of her mother until she was able to get out of bed and walk. Only then did she go out into the yard to relax.
The architectural style of the He family is somewhat like the spire of an ancient missionary family. After all, they are a family of summoners, so such architecture is not unreasonable. The entire He family compound is filled with rich spiritual energy, making it a good place for cultivation.
Her mother was the priestess of the Chen family, a powerful summoner renowned far and wide, who possessed three formidable summoned beasts: a dragon, an ice eagle, and a soldier.
It was because of her mother's existence that the position of priestess was preserved.
The cultivation method of summoners is completely different from that of ordinary families. First of all, spiritual energy is an essential condition for every martial artist. However, martial artists need to integrate spiritual energy into their bodies and constantly temper them to make their bodies stronger. Summoners, on the other hand, need to use the power of spiritual energy to sense their own unique spiritual soul, and then summon it to become their own summoned beast to help their master fight.
This is also why their family is so powerful. Although the summoner himself is not strong, a powerful summoner can have no fewer than two summoned beasts. If the entire family adds them up, the number becomes terrifying.
He Fei initially switched to medicine because she couldn't cultivate summoning magic. Now, she not only has outstanding medical skills but has also become a summoner. It's truly a twist of fate.
"Yo! You're back!" Suddenly, a gentle male voice came. He Fei turned around and saw a man in a white robe, with a dignified air, walking over.
"Big brother!"
He Fei exclaimed happily, "This is my older brother, He Wei!"
She threw herself into He Wei's arms, clinging to him affectionately and refusing to let go, which made him a little embarrassed.
"Alright, alright, you're so old and still acting like a child. How's Mommy? I heard she vomited blood today? What happened?"
He interrupted He Fei's coquettishness and revealed his purpose.
“Mother is alright now, but she was poisoned by blood poison, which is extremely dangerous. Fortunately, I was with the elders and teachers and learned about many herbs and poisons, otherwise there really wouldn’t have been any way to help her.”
He Fei was also feeling very guilty. She thought of her masters, whom she really admired to the skies. They knew everything about pharmacology and there was practically no poison or herb they didn't know.
"Hmm, it's good that you're alright. Fei'er, you don't look too well. Are you too tired?"
He Wei looked at He Fei's slightly pale face and asked with concern.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just used up some spiritual energy while helping my mother expel the poison. As you know, I've always studied medicine, so I don't have much spiritual energy to begin with, so..." He Fei said somewhat awkwardly. She hadn't cultivated spiritual energy properly since she was a child, so perhaps that was why she couldn't summon it.
"Go back and get some rest. I always have someone clean your room, it's very clean. We're having dinner together tonight, so you'll have time to take a nap. I'll come and wake you up then." He Wei affectionately patted He Fei's head, ruffling her hair, just like when she was a child.
He then saw Chen Feng next to He Fei. Who are you?
"This is Chen Feng, I've told you before. He took good care of me when we were out there. My second brother, He Yi, also knows him," He Fei explained.
Hearing He Fei say this, He Wei didn't ask too many questions.
The next day, He Fei went to visit her mother.
He Fei said seriously, "Since we know that Mother was poisoned because of the Second Elder, then we can conclude that it was the Second Elder's people who did it." She would not let any of those who dared to harm her family members get away with it.
"Alright, alright, my dear daughter, let's put those things aside for now. Today, Mother will teach you a very simple summoning spell called Spirit Summoning," the priest said with a smile, stroking He Fei's hair.
"Summoning spirits? What is summoning spirits?" He Fei asked curiously, staring wide-eyed at the priest.
“Come, let me show you,” the priest said with a smile, standing up. A beautiful little golden bird appeared on the priest’s shoulder, looking very cute.
"Huang Ying, it's been a long time!" He Fei was very happy to see this familiar figure. She had known since she was a child that her mother had one.
The very obedient and fast summoned beast is called the Yellow Oriole, which is a kind of demon beast called the Golden Spirit Bird. It has signed a contract with its mother and has been cultivating with her ever since.
