Chapter 109 Treatment
No matter when or where, ( ) will always be your most loyal reading companion.
After rolling up Xiao Yunzhi's clothes, Junior Sister Qiao kept her eyes fixed on Li Ping.
Seeing that his eyes were not wandering and that his gaze remained clear, I finally let down my guard.
Before this, of the doctors who came to treat Junior Sister Xiao, only the 'Spiritual Heart Doctor,' who was female and had the highest level of skill, had examined Junior Sister Xiao's body up close.
The other doctors only assisted Physician Lingxin in devising various treatment plans, and then Physician Lingxin would treat Junior Sister Xiao.
Dr. Yan was the first man to see Xiao's body.
Junior Sister Qiao didn't know why she allowed such a thing to happen. Although Senior Brother Song had given her a guarantee, she should have asked Physician Lingxin for his opinion first.
But without realizing it, she automatically ignored this point.
"Dr. Yan is so handsome! Even more handsome than Senior Brother Song! And he has such a great presence!" Junior Sister Qiao thought to herself as she looked at Li Ping.
Little did she know that it was precisely because Li Ping was very handsome and had an extraordinary temperament that she had a good impression of him from the beginning and thought he was a trustworthy person.
Someone as handsome as him couldn't possibly be a sleazy scoundrel.
Sure enough, even after she rolled up Xiao Shimei's shirt, the other party only stared straight ahead at the injury on Xiao Shimei's abdomen, without looking around at places he shouldn't have, and there was no lewdness in his eyes.
Li Ping looked at Junior Sister Qiao and asked solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Qiao, besides this poisonous spot, does Fairy Xiao have any other injuries?"
"No...nothing!" Junior Sister Qiao hurriedly said, "The other injuries have all been healed by Physician Lingxin, only this poisonous spot is very troublesome."
Upon hearing this, Li Ping nodded: "Alright, then I will proceed with the treatment for Fairy Xiao."
After saying that, he walked to the jade bed and, under the watchful eyes of Junior Sister Qiao, placed his right hand on Xiao Yunzhi's abdomen, his palm pressed tightly against Xiao Yunzhi's skin.
Li Ping didn't actually know any medical skills. He treated Xiao Yunzhi's injuries purely by relying on the miraculous effects of his health-preserving techniques and his great strength.
However, since magic power is intangible, its loss would be greatly increased if it were transmitted through clothing. In order to achieve a better therapeutic effect, he could only transfer magic power to Xiao Yunzhi by directly touching her.
"You..." Seeing that Li Ping's big hand dared to touch Junior Sister Xiao's abdomen, Junior Sister Qiao was about to explode.
But when her gaze fell on Li Ping's handsome face, she saw that Li Ping had deliberately closed his eyes and refused to look at Xiao Yunzhi lying on the bed.
Junior Sister Qiao lowered her head in shame, realizing that she had misunderstood Doctor Yan.
Doctor Yan was simply treating Junior Sister Xiao's illness, and he even closed his eyes to avoid suspicion. He is truly a gentleman. What were you thinking?
Of course, the main reason why Junior Sister Qiao thought this way was because Li Ping's appearance after changing his form was quite handsome, which made her feel trustworthy at first glance.
If Li Ping had his ordinary appearance before his disguise, she probably would have thought differently: it was one thing for him to touch Junior Sister Xiao's abdomen, but he even dared to close his eyes and fantasize about some filthy things. What a despicable person!
……
"What a potent toxin!"
Li Ping touched Xiao Yunzhi's abdomen with his palm, not even bothering to savor the slippery feeling from his hand.
Instead, it quickly began to infuse its body with the power of the health-preserving technique to clear away the toxins that were like a bone-deep infection.
However, the health-preserving techniques that were supposed to ward off all poisons were now met with fierce resistance from the poison within his body.
You should know that back in the underground of Xiaomei Mountain, when facing the poison of the second-tier demon snake, the power of the Nourishing Life Technique was as easy as melting snow under the scorching sun, completely neutralizing it.
The fact that things are like this now shows how potent the poison Xiao Yunzhi has been given is.
Of course, this does not mean that the health preservation method is not powerful enough.
Firstly, its toxins are more potent, far exceeding the venom of a second-tier demon serpent.
Secondly, and most importantly, his cultivation technique only absorbed the innate spiritual energy of a first-tier elixir, and was still in its nascent stage, not its strongest form.
……
Despite the fierce resistance, Li Ping could still sense that the toxins in Xiao Yunzhi's body were being slowly broken down by his health-preserving technique.
Although, this speed is relatively slow.
But Li Ping wasn't in a hurry. As long as it was effective, that was enough. He would make steady progress, and eventually, these fiercely resisting toxins would be defeated.
Junior Sister Qiao, standing to the side, kept glancing at Li Ping's palm, then at his face, and then at Xiao Yunzhi, her expression gradually turning to surprise.
Because she could sense that Xiao Yunzhi's breathing was gradually recovering.
Previously, because all her magical power and life essence were suppressed by the poison, Xiao Yunzhi was almost on the verge of death, barely breathing.
Now, with Li Ping's treatment, Xiao Yunzhi's breathing is no longer as faint as a wisp of smoke, but is gradually becoming stronger, and the color of her face is no longer so pale.
At this moment, Junior Sister Qiao no longer cared about looking at Doctor Yan's handsome face; instead, her gaze was fixed on Xiao Yunzhi lying on the jade bed: "Doctor Yan really can remove the toxins from Junior Sister Xiao's body!"
Just when Junior Sister Qiao thought Li Ping would clear the toxins from Xiao Yunzhi's body in one go, she suddenly saw him withdraw his palm.
"What... um..." Junior Sister Qiao looked up in surprise and saw that the handsome Doctor Yan was covered in sweat.
The next moment, Li Ping activated his magic power, which directly made the sweat disappear.
Seeing the astonished look on Junior Sister Qiao's face, he shook his head apologetically and explained, "The toxins in Fairy Xiao's body are too severe. My magic power is slightly insufficient, and I cannot clear them all at once. I will come to treat Fairy Xiao again tomorrow after I have recovered my magic power."
Junior Sister Qiao nodded in realization. When she looked at the poisonous spots on Junior Sister Xiao's abdomen again, she could see that they had shrunk significantly.
This was enough to demonstrate the effectiveness of Dr. Yan's treatment, and she quickly said, "I know, Dr. Yan, you have already done a great job."
As she spoke, she realized that Xiao Yunzhi was still in her lower abdomen, so she quickly pulled down her shirt.
Startled by her movements, Li Ping's gaze was also drawn to Xiao Yunzhi.
The current Xiao Yunzhi has skin as white as snow, her eyebrows are slightly furrowed, and there is a trace of weakness on her delicate face, giving her a kind of sickly beauty. She is quite different from the spirited Xiao Yunzhi I saw at the exchange meeting.
She truly deserves the title of "so pitiful to behold"!
Just then, Song Yushu, who had received a telepathic message from Junior Sister Qiao, hurriedly pushed open the door and came in.
His gaze swept over Li Ping and Junior Sister Qiao, who were standing by the jade bed, before finally settling on Xiao Yunzhi.
With his cultivation at the Pseudo-Core Realm, he could naturally tell at a glance that Xiao Yunzhi's complexion had improved, and a look of surprise appeared on his face as well.
However, Li Ping revealed that his magical powers were insufficient, and he was unable to heal Xiao Yunzhi's injuries in one go.
He wasn't surprised at all; on the contrary, he thought it was a matter of course.
After all, in Song Yushu's view...
Doctor Yan was treating a deadly poison that even several second-tier superior doctors in the Immortal City were helpless against. What's so strange about it taking so much time and effort?
Besides, it just takes a little more time.
What does it matter as long as Junior Sister Xiao can be cured?
"Alright, Junior Sister Qiao, please take good care of Junior Sister Xiao. I'll take Doctor Yan to rest." Song Yushu said warmly, "Doctor Yan, this way please."
Li Ping smiled and followed.
His address changed from "fellow Daoist" to "fellow Daoist Yan," and now it's "Doctor Yan." This Song Yushu is quite a remarkable person.
The place Song Yushu prepared for Li Ping to rest was a guest room less than 20 miles from Xiao Yunzhi's cave. The spiritual energy concentration in the guest room reached level three.
"Physician Yan, please rest well here. You can continue to treat Junior Sister Xiao tomorrow." After warmly seeing Li Ping off, Song Yushu generously said, "As long as Junior Sister Xiao can be cured, the Immortal City will definitely fulfill your request."
Upon hearing this, Li Ping replied in a joking tone, "Judging from the current progress, I estimate that the toxins in Fairy Xiao's body should be completely removed within seven days. I hope that the Immortal City can provide me with a third-tier spiritual fire as a reward. Fellow Daoist Song, you can prepare in advance."
"A third-tier spirit fire, no problem!" Upon hearing Li Ping's words, Song Yushu didn't even blink, clearly not taking a third-tier spirit fire seriously.
……
In the arranged guest room, Li Ping meditated to recover his magical power while reflecting on the day's treatment.
In fact, although the poison Xiao Yunzhi was poisoned with was severe, it could have been eliminated today if he had used all his strength.
However, considering that several second-tier high-grade physicians had been unable to cure Xiao Yunzhi's poison even when they joined forces, he could completely cure her in just half a day.
This is truly appalling, and it makes one an easy target for criticism.
That's why he pretended to be unable to do it and suggested that a seven-day course of treatment was needed to cure Xiao Yunzhi.
Moreover, by allowing him seven days for treatment, he also made it easier for Xiancheng to prepare medical expenses for him.
Once Xiao Yunzhi's injuries are healed, he can immediately take the spiritual fire and run away.
……
The next day, Li Ping was once again sent by Song Yushu to Xiao Yunzhi's residence to treat her illness.
With the help of Junior Sister Qiao.
His large hand rested on Xiao Yunzhi's smooth, jade-like abdomen, and he infused her with the power of his health-preserving mantra, beginning to neutralize the toxins within her.
Half an hour later, Li Ping withdrew his palm, covered in sweat.
……
The third day, as usual.
After three days of treatment, the toxic spot on Xiao Yunzhi's abdomen, which was originally the size of a fist, has now shrunk to the size of an egg.
As the poison spots diminished, Xiao Yunzhi's consciousness seemed to gradually recover.
When Li Ping withdrew his hand, he could clearly sense that Xiao Yunzhi, who was unconscious, showed a hint of reluctance between her brows.
Of course, Xiao Yunzhi wasn't reluctant to let his large hands touch her; rather, subconsciously, she was eager for the healing power of the health-preserving technique that could cure her injuries.
What surprised Li Ping even more was seeing Xiao Yunzhi's condition getting better and better.
Song Yushu was overjoyed. He expressed his deepest gratitude to him and even gave him a third-tier "Heavenly Thunderfire" as payment for the consultation.
Before he knew it, Li Ping had gathered enough materials to pass on the skills of a third-level alchemist.
However, considering that the third-tier Heavenly Thunderfire did not actually belong to him, he did not immediately pass on the technique. Instead, he put away all the materials, preparing to pass on the technique after Xiao Yunzhi was completely healed.
……
The fourth day, as usual.
The fifth day, as usual.
The sixth day, as usual.
Before they knew it, it was the last day of Xiao Yunzhi's treatment course, and Li Ping planned to completely remove the toxins from her body today.
