Chapter 26

This beautiful young woman's husband was the black-faced man that Wei Changfeng had encountered at the open-air market that day. At the time, he had noticed something was wrong with the man and had kindly given him a couple of warnings. He did not expect that it would take three days before the man was brought to Jingyun Martial Academy to seek his help.

If it were the previous life's Pill Deity Wei Changfeng, he would not even have glanced at the patient if the man could not offer something that moved him. The idea of him treating someone for free was nothing but a dream.

However, after being reborn in this life, Wei Changfeng's mindset had undergone significant changes. He carefully took the black-faced man's pulse, lifted his eyelids, and examined his tongue. Under the hopeful gaze of the beautiful young woman, he pondered and said, "Your husband should have been dead, but he swallowed a life-prolonging pill. It's not too late now!"

The beautiful young woman was overjoyed and choked out, "Please, sir, help us. I am willing to work as a cow or a horse to repay you!"

Although Wei Changfeng looked very young, completely different from the old doctors in Jingyun City, she had no other choice at this point and had to place all her hopes on him.

"There's no need to work as a cow or a horse..." Wei Changfeng shook his head and said, "We shouldn't delay. Let's go to the Ye Family Alchemy Shop!"

The black-faced man had been bitten by a venomous creature. Due to improper treatment, the yin poison had invaded his heart and lungs, putting his life in grave danger. He was now relying on the power of the pill to maintain his heartbeat and keep his last breath.

Wei Changfeng still possessed his medical skills, but his alchemy cultivation was far from what it was a hundred years ago. To treat the man's poison, he needed to rely on alchemy and even prepare and refine the life-saving pill on the spot.

In Jingyun City, the Ye Family Alchemy Shop was the best, with complete earth fire facilities and numerous alchemy rooms. The selection of materials was also very convenient.

Most importantly, Wei Changfeng had a favor with the alchemy shop manager, Ye Quan. He believed that Ye Quan would not refuse his request to borrow an alchemy room to refine the pill and save the man.

Sure enough, when Wei Changfeng arrived at the Ye Family Alchemy Shop with the couple and their companions, and explained the situation to Ye Quan, the latter readily agreed.

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I will immediately have someone clear the best earth fire alchemy room for you to use!"

The beautiful young woman was so grateful that she didn't know what to say, only repeatedly saying "thank you" and "thank you."

Ye Quan waved his hand. While he was instructing his subordinates to prepare the alchemy room, he bent down to carefully examine the condition of the black-faced man lying on the stretcher, his expression becoming serious.

Ye Quan also knew medicine and could see that the black-faced man's condition was extremely dire, on the brink of death. Even if he wanted to save him, he would be powerless.

"Little Brother Wei, do you have the confidence to save him?"

Ye Quan knew that Wei Changfeng was skilled in refining pills, but when it came to saving lives, not just any alchemist could do it, especially one so young.

Practicing medicine and saving lives required long-term experience, and Ye Quan was worried that if Wei Changfeng failed to save the man, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

Wei Changfeng nodded and said, "It shouldn't be a problem, but I need Uncle Quan to help me get some medicinal materials."

Seeing Wei Changfeng's confidence, Ye Quan was somewhat skeptical.

He thought Wei Changfeng was probably young and overconfident, and after a moment's thought, he couldn't help but advise, "The medicinal materials are no problem, but Nephew... I suggest you reconsider saving the man."

"I know an old doctor, Hu Wanchun from the Huichuntang Clinic, whose medical skills are the best in Jingyun City. We should send the man there for treatment; it would be more likely to succeed."

As soon as Ye Quan finished speaking, the beautiful young woman sobbed, "Sir, you don't know. We originally sought treatment from Old Doctor Hu, but we spent all our money and still couldn't cure him."

"Finally, when the man was on the brink of death, they told us to prepare for the worst."

Ye Quan was speechless for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Then we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate!"

The beautiful young woman choked out, "My husband said that Sir Wei could save him..."

Ye Quan smiled bitterly to himself.

If even Hu Wanchun couldn't save him, how could Wei Changfeng?

Wei Changfeng saw Ye Quan's expression and knew that he didn't believe he could save the man. He didn't explain further and immediately had the black-faced man carried into the alchemy room once it was cleared.

Was he going to treat the man inside the alchemy room? Ye Quan was increasingly confused.

Wei Changfeng asked Ye Quan to help prepare the medicinal materials for refining the pill. Fortunately, these materials were not rare and were readily available in the Ye Family Alchemy Shop.

Once the materials and the alchemy room were prepared, Wei Changfeng had the black-faced man's upper body undressed and leaned against the wall.

After the others left the alchemy room, he activated the earth fire mechanism, and flames immediately rose from the ground, raising the room's temperature.

Next, Wei Changfeng took out two silver needles, holding one between his left and right index and middle fingers. He channeled his pill energy and simultaneously pierced the black-faced man's chest at the Shangxuan and Zhongshan acupoints!

Two thin silver rays flashed, and the three-inch-long silver needles penetrated more than two inches deep!

He released his fingers, and black poisonous blood immediately gushed out of the hollow needles, slowly dripping to the ground.

The poisonous blood carried a strong yin-cold aura, and upon contact with the hot floor, it hissed and emitted a faint gray smoke.

Wei Changfeng couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He was using the ancient and lost Nine Needles Technique, which could control up to nine golden needles at once to pierce and unblock meridians. It could even revive someone who had just died, and removing poison was a minor task.

However, the current Wei Changfeng didn't have the cultivation of his past and could only勉强 control two silver needles at a time, so he had to rely on the earth fire and the power of the pill.

After settling the black-faced man, Wei Changfeng sat cross-legged in front of the already heated alchemy cauldron.

Skipping the step of cleaning the cauldron, he directly added the medicinal materials and began refining the pill necessary to remove the poison.

A faint medicinal fragrance immediately filled the alchemy room!

...

Outside the alchemy room, the beautiful young woman was anxiously waiting, unable to sit still.

This best alchemy room of the Ye Family Alchemy Shop had a special rain shelter and tea seats for rest.

Ye Quan was by her side, offering a few words of comfort.

"Uncle Quan!"

As he was speaking, two young girls approached.

"Miss!"

Seeing the newcomers, Ye Quan quickly stood up and greeted them, "Cousin Miss, why are you here?"

The beautiful girl in the green dress was Ye Qingxuan, the granddaughter of the Ye Clan's patriarch, Ye Wentian.

The girl in the purple dress beside Ye Qingxuan was her cousin, Ouyang Fangfei, who had grown up in the Ye family and was closer than sisters to Ye Qingxuan.

Ye Qingxuan curiously looked at the nervous beautiful young woman and asked, "Who is this...?"

Ye Quan had to briefly explain how Wei Changfeng had brought people to borrow the alchemy room to save a life.

"What?"

Before Ye Qingxuan could speak, Ouyang Fangfei exclaimed, "Does that idiot Wei Changfeng know how to save lives? Uncle Quan, are you mistaken?"

Ye Quan was at a loss, "How could I be mistaken? But I didn't know Wei Changfeng was skilled in medicine."

Ouyang Fangfei suspiciously glanced at the beautiful young woman and muttered, "Is this guy hiring people to act, hoping to catch your eye, Sister?"

Ye Qingxuan, helpless with her sister's impulsive nature, said, "Fangfei, don't talk nonsense. Brother Wei couldn't possibly know we would be at the alchemy shop today."

She turned to Ye Quan and said, "I originally wanted to use this alchemy room to refine the Light Complexion Pill. Since Brother Wei is saving a life, we'll wait here."

The beautiful young woman, grateful, bowed to Ye Qingxuan and said, "Thank you, Misses!"

Ouyang Fangfei, however, sneered and said, "Don't thank us yet..."

"If that Wei Changfeng messes up, take him outside and beat him to death. I find him annoying just looking at him!"

Swish!

As she finished speaking, the tightly closed alchemy room door suddenly opened.

Wei Changfeng walked out first, followed by the black-faced man!

Although the man still looked pale and walked unsteadily, his steps were steady, and anyone could see that his life was no longer in danger.

So quickly cured!

Ye Qingxuan and Ouyang Fangfei were not surprised, but Ye Quan was extremely shocked.

He had clearly seen the state of the black-faced man just two hours ago.

For the man to be able to walk in such a short time, Wei Changfeng's medical skills were truly miraculous, almost unbelievable!

"Husband!"

The most excited and joyful was the beautiful young woman. She ran forward, threw herself into her husband's arms, and cried.

"Jingniang, I'm fine now!" the black-faced man hurriedly comforted her.

The beautiful young woman wiped her tears and then pulled her husband to kneel before Wei Changfeng, sobbing, "Thank you, Sir, for saving our lives. We will repay you in the next life!"

"Too much!" Wei Changfeng smiled and helped them up, "Go home and rest. You'll be fine after some recuperation."

The black-faced man said solemnly, "Great kindness doesn't need thanks. Sir Wei, I, Lao Tie, will never forget your life-saving grace. I'll come to thank you in a few days!"

After sending the couple away from the Ye Family Alchemy Shop, Wei Changfeng returned.

He first bowed slightly to Ye Qingxuan, "Greetings, Miss Ye..."

Without waiting for a response, he turned to Ye Quan and said, "Uncle Quan, I'll take my leave. I'll thank you later."

Ye Quan nodded, not knowing what to say.

Ye Qingxuan's eyes sparkled, and she softly asked, "Brother Wei, why not stay a little longer?"

This was the first time she had actively invited him to stay since they met.

Wei Changfeng smiled faintly, "Because I know my limits and don't want to annoy someone."

He bowed again and left without looking back.

Ye Qingxuan was stunned.

She never expected her invitation to be rejected by Wei Changfeng!
