Because Ma Hongjun's evil fire is unstable and could erupt at any time.
Flander worried that if Ma Hongjun's lustful desires erupted on his way to the Star Dou Great Forest and there was no woman to help him vent them, it would cause unimaginable consequences.
That's why he thought of asking Gu Ye for a tranquilizer to prevent Ma Hongjun from having an outburst of lust.
Ma Hongjun was deeply moved when he learned that his dean was thinking of him in this way, and decided to go with Flander later.
Meanwhile, back at the woman's residence, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, upon learning that they would be departing for the Star Dou Great Forest the next day, both thought of Gu Ye.
Zhu Zhuqing thought it was because Gu Ye had told her before that there was no martial art that could be broken except by speed.
Moreover, she has undergone a major change in her martial soul, the Netherworld Cat, due to the injection of Gu Ye's martial soul serum. Gu Ye is the person who understands the changes in her martial soul the most, and he also knows very well which direction she should develop in her cultivation.
Zhu Zhuqing found a sense of dependence on Gu Ye. Just like now, when she was about to set off for the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for her third spirit ring, Gu Ye was the first person she thought of.
That's why she wants to go to Soto City to find Gu Ye later and tell him that she's going to hunt for her third spirit ring tomorrow.
Ning Rongrong thought of Gu Ye because of her success in defeating Da Mantou with Xiaolongbao.
She's setting off for the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow, and it will definitely take her half a month to go there and back, maybe even longer.
Before setting off, she had to go to Soto City to find Gu Ye and ask him for help, and also to let Gu Ye figure out... the counterattack plan.
Zhu Zhuqing seemed to know Ning Rongrong's thoughts, and Ning Rongrong seemed to know Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts as well. The two exchanged a glance.
They said in unison, "You're going to find Gu Ye, right?"
After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other again.
"Shall we go together?" they asked in unison.
They both seemed to realize something, lowered their heads, and finally decided to go to Soto City together to find Gu Ye.
Ning Rongrong knew that Gu Ye would keep her secret, and that she would go with Zhu Zhuqing because Zhu Zhuqing had also been to the clinic.
The same goes for Zhu Zhuqing.
Xiao Wu was somewhat unhappy when the two decided to go to Soto City.
"Zhuqing, Rongrong, you're both going to find that Gu Ye, what about me?"
"Xiao Wu, aren't you going to find your third brother?"
"Hmph, he's definitely cultivating, how could he have time to spend with me?" Xiao Wu was secretly angry that Tang San was so clueless and didn't understand her meaning at all.
"How about I go with you, Zhuqing and Rongrong?" Xiaowu suggested, looking at the two of them.
Ning Rongrong didn't want Xiao Wu to go with her, but now that Xiao Wu wanted to go, she couldn't refuse. Anyway, Gu Ye would keep her treatment a secret.
In the end, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing decided that the three of them would go to Soto City to find Gu Ye together later.
...
In the afternoon, in Soto City, at Guye Medical Clinic.
Just as Gu Ye was about to take a break after treating many patients, Flander and Ma Hongjun walked towards him.
"Oh, isn't this Dean Flander from Shrek Academy? What brings you to my little clinic?" Gu Ye teased upon seeing Flander.
Flander chuckled and walked over, saying, "Doctor Gu, we've come to you for help with something."
"Oh! Something's happened. Could it be that your disciple's evil fire has erupted again?" Gu Ye looked at Ma Hongjun, who was standing next to Flander.
"It is indeed related to evil fire, but it's not an outbreak. I've come to ask you, Doctor Gu, for something."
"Ask for something? What is it?" Gu Ye looked at Flander with amusement.
"It's the thing you injected into Hongjun's body before that could quickly suppress his evil fire."
"Oh, so that's what it is. No problem, no problem. But Dean Flander, my thing is extremely precious, and the price..." Gu Ye smiled slyly.
Seeing Gu Ye's appearance, Flander's face showed some pain. Finally, with a heavy heart, he took out a bag and threw it in front of Gu Ye: "Are the gold coins here enough?"
Gu Ye picked them up and looked at them. There were quite a few, but he wasn't short of money, so he shook his head.
"Not enough?" Flander stared wide-eyed at Gu Ye.
"Yes, I need one more thing."
"What?"
"His martial spirit blood," Gu Ye said, pointing at Ma Hongjun.
"Martial Soul Blood? Is it the kind of Martial Soul Blood that Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing were talking about before?"
Because Tang San had mentioned some things to him, Flander remembered them.
"Yes, it's the blood from the Martial Soul. Didn't you want to cure Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul defect? I just happen to want to extract a drop of his Martial Soul blood for experiments. Maybe we can develop a medicine that can cure his Martial Soul defect soon."
"Really?" Ma Hongjun looked at Gu Ye with some excitement.
If his martial soul defect could really be resolved, wouldn't he be able to take off and transform from a pheasant into a phoenix?
"Won't it be harmful if you take that martial spirit blood?" Flander asked with some concern.
Gu Ye shook his head: "It won't be harmful. At most, it will weaken him for a day or two."
"I see..." Flander pondered for a moment, then looked at Ma Hongjun again.
The final decision was to allow Gu Ye to provide blood.
"Come in."
Seeing that the two agreed, Gu Ye smiled and led them into the back room.
Then Gu Ye took out a tranquilizer he had obtained from the system and handed it to Flander, saying, "The method of use is very simple. Just inject it into his body when his evil fire erupts. You have seen the effect."
"Um."
After taking the tranquilizer and examining it for a moment, Flander put it away.
"Alright, here's the medicine. Ma Hongjun, release your martial spirit now."
Ma Hongjun glanced at Flander, then released his martial soul, the Evil Fire Phoenix.
Seeing Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul, the Evil Fire Phoenix, Gu Ye quickly summoned his Martial Soul Scalpel. At the same time, a white light was imbued on the scalpel. He quickly slashed Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul, and a drop of red blood flowed out from Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul.
Gu Ye took the bottle and put it away.
With the addition of Ma Hongjun's martial soul blood, Gu Ye has now collected the martial souls of two of the Shrek Seven Devils. The remaining five will require further planning.
Flander, who had been watching Gu Ye's actions from beginning to end, was somewhat amazed when he saw blood actually flowing from the martial soul.
He decided to pass the news on to his friend Yu Xiaogang, who would probably be very interested in it.
"alright."
After collecting the Martial Soul Blood, Gu Ye signaled to Flanders and Ma Hongjun that they could leave.
"Doctor Gu, if you can develop a medicine to treat the defects in Hong Jun's martial soul, please let me know. It is very important to me. Please." Flander said politely to Gu Ye.
"No problem, no problem."
"Then I won't bother Doctor Gu any longer."
Flanders said something and then left with Ma Hongjun.
"Dean, do you think he can really develop a medicine to cure my martial soul defect?" Ma Hongjun asked Flander after walking a short distance.
"I don't know either, but his medical skills are amazing, which I really admire. Although there's only a sliver of hope now, having hope is better than having no hope at all."
"Too."
Ma Hongjun knew the seriousness of a flaw in his martial soul.
If time passes, or if he gets older, and if the defect in his martial soul is not cured, he may die from being consumed by evil fire.
Now Gu Ye gave him a glimmer of hope. As long as Gu Ye could develop a medicine to cure the defects in his martial soul, he would get it no matter the cost.
