Huo Mei quickly rushed in with Huo Lian holding a tray containing a jade bowl filled with tonic, as they entered the room, they saw the sect leader sweating profusely as he channelled his Qi into Huo Ying's body and she was also sweating, they suddenly became alarmed when they saw this, although the sect leader was doing the right thing they hadn't prepared for the side effect of that so before they fully entered the room Huo Mei said to Huo Lian "go back to the kitchen and brew a tonic for her to stop her from overheating", Huo Lian quickly ran back to the kitchen whole Huo Mei rushed to Huo Ying bedside, when the sect leader saw her in the room with the tray, he stopped the Qi transfer then he held her in his arms and collected the bowl of tonic from Huo Mei, then he poured a mouthful of tonic into her mouth but she vomited it back. He removed his handkerchief from his cloth and wiped the tonic from her cloth and mouth.

"if she is vomiting it, how is she going to drink it" the sect leader asked Huo Mei.​​

"I…I will do it" Huo Mei stuttered then she collected the bowl from the medicine, the sect leader stood up then Huo Mei held Huo Ying and raised her chin up, then she poured the tonic into her mouth and raised her chin higher in order to make the tonic go down her throat. The sect leader and his wife were now relived when the saw that she didn't vomit the tonic. Outside the room, the elders were quite pissed, they had been outside for a long time and they watched the guardians go back and forth but they didn't know what was going on inside the room, suddenly they saw Huo Lian who was coming back from the kitchen while carrying a tray, the first elder stopped her and said: "what is wrong with the young mistress".

Huo Lian frantically answered "the young mistress angry so her blood flowed in reverse and her meridians so she needs the Wu Ling Zhi and the Chuan Liang Zi herbs but they are not available in the sect", then she hurried into the room without even waiting for them to say anything else.

After she left, the elders knew that judging from what she had said, the young mistress situation was not so simple, there is no way she would be so angry to the point of death but they still knew that the more they stood there without doing anything Huo Ying life will be in more danger, then they returned to the training ground where they found the elite disciples training, they all bowed when they saw the three elders.

"All of you should change out of your sect clothing, go down the mountain and find the Wu Ling Zhi and the Chuan Liang Zi herb immediately, the young mistress life depends on them" the third elder said, when they heard that it concerned the young mistress, they quickly accepted the other and left the sect after changing their cloths. They would have gone faster if they didn't have to change their cloths but people find out that they are the flame sect disciples and they are looking for herbs, it might cause trouble.

Huo Lian quickly passed the bowl of tonic after Huo Mei fed Huo Ying the first bowl of tonic, then she stood back, after she fed Huo Ying both bowls of tonic she laid Huo Ying back on the bed, then she wiped Huo Ying's forehead with a wet towel.

"all we have to do now is to wait for Huo Qiang and Bingchen, as long as they return with the herb, she will be alright" Huo Mei said to calm them down.

...…

Huo Bingchen and Huo Qiang run around the streets in search of the herbs but for an hour and thirty minutes now they haven't found any pharmacy with then herbs, they continued going from street to street without stopping for a second.

"do you have these herbs" Huo Qiang asked a physician as he passed the paper with the herb's names to him but the man nodded his head and passed the paper back to him.

"do you know where I can find these herbs," Bingchen asked the man, but the man nodded and said, "these two herbs are very rare and their seasons have passed so most of the pharmacies have sold them out, the only place you can find it is in the vitality sect". Huo Bingchen and Huo Qiang exchanged glances after the man spoke, the Vitality sect is just a minor sect but they had all types of herbs and they had a vast range of medical knowledge, Huo Mei and Huo Lian mother were in the vitality set before they came into the flame sect after she was hunted by the vitality sect after learning medical skills from their secret manuals, since then they have been at odds with the flame sect, so they would definitely not be willing to give them the herbs. They thanked the physician then they left his pharmacy, they were lost now that the only place they could get the herbs from is from the vitality sect, they made their living from selling herbs and all sorts of pills which they grew and cultivated themselves, all rare herbs could be found in their sect because they cultivated them themselves, so they always ask for the identity of the buyer before selling anything to them and they never sold to people without any fame in the court and the jianghu world so there is no way they could just fake their identity.

They decided to just try their luck but they also had another problem.

"if we have to go to the vitality sect now, Huo Ying will be dead before we return to the sect, without any horse it will take three days to reach the vitality sect," Bingchen said then he hit his fist against his palm. At that moment, they saw about twenty elite disciples on horses, they got down from their disciples and entered the pharmacies along the street.

"They must be looking for the herbs too and they have the very thing we need at this moment," Huo Qiang said, then the both of them ran to meet the disciple who was wearing disappointed faces as they mount their horse. when the disciples saw Huo Qiang and Huo Bingchen, they quickly bowed their heads.

"drop the formality, I suppose you are also out to look for the herbs," Huo Qiang said

"Yes, the elders told us to look for the herbs for the young mistress" Huo Li replied

"We already know where to find the herbs but we need horses and we can't go there together," Huo Qiang said

"where and why can't we go together," Huo Li asked

"the vitality sect," Huo Bingchen said

"but they would never give us the herbs no matter how much we have to offer" Huo Li replied

"We can just take it by force if they won't give it to us after we have tried everything we can, apart from Huo Li, the rest of you should return to the sect but leave behind two horses" Bingchen commanded, then they all returned leaving behind Huo Li and two horses, Huo Bingchen and Huo Qiang quickly mounted their horses then they rode at high speed to the vitality sect along with Huo Li.

------------------------

The elite disciples returned to the sect then the elders quickly rushed up to them to find out if they have found the herbs, the disciples bowed their head.

"did you find the herbs," the third disciples asked anxiously while the other two wore a worried expression.

"We met the two guardians who had already gone before us on the way, they told us to return to the sect, they found out that the herbs can be found in the vitality sect so they went with Huo Li to the vitality sect" one of them replied.

"the vitality sect you say, they will never give those herbs to us," the first elder said.

"We need to report this to the sect leader," the second elder said, then they left the disciples and returned to Huo Ying's room, they knocked on the door then after the sect leader commanded to enter, they entered inside the room. They were shocked at the sight of the young mistress who has always been full of life lying on the bed motionlessly.

"sect leader, we sent some elite disciples to look for the herbs needed but they just came back now," the first elder said, the sect leader was immediately joyful when he heard what the first elder said, he was filled with hope that they had found the herbs.

"did they find the herbs," the sect leader asked with hope in his voice, the elders face turned downcast at that moment then he knew that they hadn't found the herbs.

"They didn't find the herbs but they met the other guardians who told them that they had found a place to get the herbs," the second elder said

"where is that" the sect leader's wife asked

"in the vitality sect" the second elder replied, Huo Mei, Huo Lian, the sect leader and his wife were all shocked when they heard that the only place, they could get the herbs from is the Vitality sect.

"They will never be willing to give us the herbs and Huo Ying cannot wait for them to return from the vitality sect," Huo Lian said

"I think we should trust them, if they didn't have a way to get the herbs, they wouldn't have gone there," the first elder said

"if the herb can be found in the vitality sect then there is another way to get the herbs," the sect leader's wife said

"what way?" the sect leader asked anxiously

"Huo Lian and Huo Mei are capable of cultivating plants since their mother was born in the vitality sect," she said, then everyone fixed their eyes on the twins, but the two of them still had a hopeless look on their faces.

"sect leader, we only have the power to cultivate plant but we have never been properly taught, with our skills, it would take us a month to cultivate those herbs even if we join our powers together but Huo Ying cant last that long so we can only wait for Huo Qiang and Bingchen to return," Huo Mei said, then once again they all wore a disappointed expression, Huo Mei wished that her mother had not died during the war between the sects then she would have taught them how to cultivate plants, then Huo Ying life wouldn't be in danger.

"then the both of you should keep trying your best to keep her alive until those two return, that is the only things we can do now if she becomes unstable then I can only stabilise her by channelling my Qi into the body," the sect leader said.

"sect leader, you are already exhausted, her condition is very serious which has greatly depleted your vital energy, I and Huo Lian will do the job then if we really need you we will tell you, for now, you and the madam should rest," Huo Mei said, they had already forgotten that Huo Mei is the reason why the herbs were not available so they had been very calm towards her.

"Alright, my wife needs rest so I will go for now, you two should take care of her," the sect leader said, if it was any other physician, he would never leave his daughter with them but Huo Ying was the best physician in the capital, the only ones who could surpass her abilities are those from the vitality sect. The sect leader held his wife then he took her out of the room, then the elders left the room after the sect leader.

By then, the whole sect was already aware of the young mistress but they didn't know how serious it was, if they did, there is no way they would be willing to stay in the sect, they would have already rushed out of the sect to get the herbs even if it means attacking the vitality sect or robbing them. Huo Mei and Huo Lian sat by Huo Ying bed, they have never seen her this weak before. Huo Ying is someone who never got angry easily and even if she was angry, she would never change except if she is angry because of her sister. They didn't understand what was behind her changing but they just knew that it was always related to her sister. They both started crying since everyone had left the room, Huo Mei held Huo Ying hand then she presses it tightly and said "young mistress please wake up, we all need you, we can't live without you".
