The most special plant was undoubtedly the white flower dragon tongue grass.
Also known as dragon pearls or pearl grass, the stem is slender and the leaves are opposite. It grows vigorously between summer and autumn, flowering and bearing seeds in less than half a month. The axillary single white flowers resemble a dragon spitting water and have a natural restraint effect on evil spirits.
Leo placed everything he needed on the coffee table one by one, then asked Angus to prepare a large copper pot for hot pot.
He placed the copper pot in the center of the coffee table and poured each portion of animal blood into it in turn.
As soon as the bright red blood was poured in, a strong smell of blood filled the entire room. Except for Leo, everyone else stood quietly aside watching.
After pouring in all of the blood, Leo took out a talisman from his body but did not burn it to offer it up. Instead he put it into the pot with everything else.
Soon enough, talisman became soaked with blood before sinking to bottom of pot without any heat applied underneath. However, inside slowly began boiling over time which looked quite disgusting when viewed closely.
“Mr. Booth,” said Leo calmly, “please take this white flower dragon tongue grass to your wife’s bedchamber.”
“Uncover your wife’s blanket using this plant from head to toe three times while remaining silent throughout.”
Leo handed the white flower dragon tongue grass in his hand to Angus. Although Angus didn’t understand the purpose of doing so, he didn’t ask further questions and accepted the white flower, entering the inner room.
Leo didn’t follow him inside but sat quietly on the sofa, waiting.
Soon, Angus came out from the inner room and handed the white flower back to Leo.
Leo held the white flower in his hand, his lips moving silently as he began reciting some obscure and strange incantations.
After finishing the incantations, Leo drank the rootless water from the table and then sprayed it onto the white flower dragon tongue grass. As the rootless water sprayed from Leo’s mouth onto the white flower, all the white flowers that were originally blooming on the grass withered, and even the leaves of the grass began to fall.
In the end, Leo was left holding only the stem of the dragon tongue grass, which he placed into the bronze pot in front of him.
A miraculous scene unfolded once again-the previously boiling blood stopped, and the dragon tongue grass placed in the bronze pot visibly grew new leaves at a rapid pace.
In just one or two minutes, the entire dragon tongue grass was once again covered in lush green leaves.
This scene left Angus, who was standing on the side, dumbfounded.
Before this, he had doubted whether Leo understood geomancy or if Eric had been deceived by him. Now, Angus realized how wrong he was, and his doubts were way off the mark.
Angus secretly let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed that his wife had hope of being saved.
Leo took out another talisman, recited some words, and held the talisman in his right hand. The talisman stood straight in his hand, and as Leo uttered the last syllable, the talisman burst into flames.
He placed the burning talisman into the bronze pot.
“Invisible hindrances, partake in this ritual, ascend to the Purple Star, absolve!”
After a low shout, the flames in the bronze pot disappeared, and then the dragon tongue grass in the pot bloomed. Many small flowers sprouted from the branches and leaves, but unlike before, these flowers were blood-red, exactly the same color as the blood in the bronze pot.
Leo turned to Angus and said, “Mr. Booth, come and pick all the flowers from this dragon tongue grass and cook a bowl of soup with them.”
Angus followed his instructions, hesitated for a moment, and took out a bowl from under the table. He began plucking the blood-red flowers that had bloomed from the dragon tongue grass in the bronze pot.
After plucking all the flowers, Angus called the maid and instructed her to cook the flowers into a bowl of soup according to Leo’s requirements.
One of the luxurious aspects of this hospital room was that it had a kitchen with utensils for decocting medicine.
While the maid was cooking the soup, the three of them could only wait silently. No one spoke, and the atmosphere became somewhat solemn.
Several minutes later, the maid finished cooking the soup.
When the soup was brought out, it was not red as Angus and Eric had expected, but rather a transparent color like water.
Leo took the soup bowl from the maid’s hand and reminded Angus, “Mr. Booth, no matter what you see or hear later, please don’t be afraid and don’t speak.”
After Leo finished speaking, holding the soup bowl and a wolf hair brush, he entered the inner room.
Approaching the hospital bed, Leo instructed, “Mr. Booth, please uncover the blanket.”
After the blanket was uncovered, Angus could see his wife’s swollen belly. She was still unconscious, and Angus started to feel nervous.
“Mr. Booth, please also remove the clothing covering your wife’s belly,” Leo said again.
After the clothing was removed, a round belly was revealed, no different from an ordinary pregnant woman about to give birth.
Leo raised the bowl with his left hand and held the wolf hair brush with his right hand, his expression solemn.
Concentrating for a moment, Leo began dipping the wolf hair brush into the soup and drawing on the woman’s belly.
The colorless soup, when drawn with the wolf hair brush, appeared as golden lines on the woman’s belly.
This scene once again widened Angus’s eyes, and Eric, who was standing beside him, was equally astonished.
The Sinister Infant possessed a strong sinister aura. Before eliminating the Sinister Infant, the sinister aura had to be dispelled; otherwise, it would pose a life-threatening danger to the host.
Leo was drawing a rune on the woman’s belly to dispel the sinister aura.
After completing the rune, Leo placed the bowl and the wolf hair brush on a nearby table. He then clasped his hands and performed hand seals. With a single seal, he struck the golden rune on the woman’s belly.
After completing these actions, Leo’s forehead was already glistening with sweat.
Angus opened his mouth, about to speak, but suddenly remembered Leo’s earlier reminder and quickly closed his mouth.
As the seal entered the rune, the golden rune immediately underwent changes.
The golden rune actually started moving, with its golden lines resembling small golden snakes wriggling on the woman’s belly.
Slowly, the lines of the golden rune turned black. In just a few tens of seconds, the golden color completely transformed into black.
The black rune stopped moving, and the final imprinted rune looked different from the previous one.
Eric and Angus had no idea what the change in the rune’s color signified.
The two of them continued to stare nervously at the black rune, waiting to see what further changes would occur.
“With animal blood as foundation, dragon tongue as guide, the golden rune transforms the sinister!”
Leo shouted a clear command and struck another seal.
After the seal, the black rune on the woman’s belly dissipated and disappeared.
Leo let his hands down and let out a long sigh of relief.
“Thank you, Dr. Bloomer, for your intervention!” Angus, thinking the treatment was complete, hurriedly walked to the bedside, about to touch his wife.
