Chapter 235: Pure Yang Celestial Soar
Cheng Yuan had no doubt that Duan Yanqing would slaughter the Sheng Miao Race. Not wanting to bear such heavy karmic consequences, Cheng Yuan quickly tried to dissuade him.
"Prince Duan, your Karmic Obstacles are too heavy. You will surely face a backlash when you try to break through in the future. It’s better not to commit such a massacre! This matter isn’t something the ordinary Miao People could have been involved in. Just executing the ringleaders will suffice."
If anyone else had tried to lecture him, Duan Yanqing would have scoffed. ’I achieve my path through slaughter, so what if I have a few more Karmic Obstacles?’
But Cheng Yuan was a Divine Doctor, after all, and his daughter’s life was still in his hands.
Duan Yanqing snorted coldly. "Then we’ll do as Divine Doctor Cheng says. We’ll only execute the ringleaders."
After a brief pause, Duan Yanqing asked with some concern, "Divine Doctor Cheng, do you know how to remove Gu?"
Cheng Yuan smiled faintly. "I’ve dabbled a bit."
"Please remove the Gu, Divine Doctor Cheng! I am willing to give everything I have to repay you! This is a five-hundred-year-old Pure Yang Celestial Soar. Please, accept it!"
As he spoke, Duan Yanqing took out a Jade Box.
’A Pure Yang Celestial Soar?’
’This is one of the ten Divine Medicines needed to refine the Celestial Witch Foundation Establishment Pill!’
’I can’t believe I got it so easily!’
Cheng Yuan didn’t stand on ceremony. He reached out and took the Jade Box, saying in a gentle voice, "Prince Duan, the Pure Yang Celestial Soar is one of the ten great Divine Medicines. This consultation fee is too valuable! Yingying is my classmate. Even without any payment, I would still cure her."
Duan Yanqing replied in an equally gentle tone, "Compared to Yingying, what are the ten great Divine Medicines? Even if Divine Doctor Cheng wanted the moon from the sky, I would find a way to get you a piece!"
Cheng Yuan gave Duan Yanqing a deep look. He was certain that Duan Yanqing wasn’t just bragging; he could actually do it!
Cheng Yuan now had a better understanding of Duan Yanqing’s power.
Cheng Yuan nodded slightly at Duan Yanqing, then turned his head to observe Duan Yingying.
Duan Yingying felt a little awkward under his gaze. She smoothed her hair to hide her unease. For some reason, she felt as if Cheng Yuan’s eyes were seeing right through her...
Soon, Cheng Yuan had decided on a treatment method. He said gently, "Yingying, in a moment, I’m going to perform acupuncture on you. Don’t be afraid if you feel anything strange. Just close your eyes and open your mouth."
"Mm."
Cheng Yuan took out a Jade Bottle and handed it to Duan Yanqing.
"Prince Duan, I’ll need your help in a moment. After the Gu Insect comes out, please catch it in this Jade Bottle and seal the opening with your True Essence so it can’t escape."
Duan Yanqing frowned. "Why not just destroy it? Why keep such a menace alive?"
Cheng Yuan grew a little nervous. ’The Nine-Change Divine Silkworm is a Divine Pet! If raised properly, it offers great benefits! I can’t let him destroy it!’
Cheng Yuan put on a very serious expression and bluffed, "Prince Duan, don’t you want revenge? The only way to find the person who planted the Gu is through the Gu Insect itself."
Only then did Duan Yanqing nod slightly. "That... alright. This prince understands."
Cheng Yuan hesitated no longer and swiftly began placing the needles!
Even though Duan Yingying was fully clothed, Cheng Yuan clearly inserted the Silver Needles into her acupoints.
Cheng Yuan sealed Duan Yingying’s Meridians, blocking all escape routes for the Nine-Change Divine Silkworm, leaving it only one way out.
If the Nine-Change Divine Silkworm wanted to escape, it could only take the path Cheng Yuan had left open, entering her digestive tract and ultimately emerging from her mouth.
Once the preparations were complete, Cheng Yuan said apologetically, "Yingying, please forgive my methods."
Duan Yingying nodded slightly and closed her eyes.
Cheng Yuan raised a hand and pressed it against Duan Yingying’s chest, releasing an incomparably pure stream of Celestial Witch True Essence!
The Celestial Witch True Essence instantly invaded Duan Yingying’s heart-meridian, penetrating deep inside her heart!
Duan Yingying shivered involuntarily!
Her body was already extremely weak. The sudden invasion of cold energy made her visibly uncomfortable, and her face grew even paler!
Duan Yanqing was very nervous. ’Won’t Yingying just get weaker?’
’It was like this every time they saw a doctor before.’
However, Duan Yanqing remained silent, afraid of disturbing Cheng Yuan.
’Little one! Stop hiding! Come on out!’
The Celestial Witch True Essence formed the shape of a needle and forcefully pricked the Nine-Change Divine Silkworm!
The Nine-Change Divine Silkworm, stung by the pain, darted about frantically inside her heart, trying to find a temporary hiding place.
After searching the entire heart, the Nine-Change Divine Silkworm couldn’t find a good spot, only the channel leading to the digestive tract.
The Nine-Change Divine Silkworm did not enter the escape route Cheng Yuan had left for it.
It wasn’t worried about being digested; its body was covered in a film that could insulate it from strong acids.
The Nine-Change Divine Silkworm was worried about being excreted by its host. If that happened, where would it ever find another host of such high quality?
Cheng Yuan increased the output of his Celestial Witch True Essence and stabbed the Nine-Change Divine Silkworm several more times. A tiny wound even appeared on its body, leaking a minuscule drop of essence blood!
The essence blood that leaked from the Nine-Change Divine Silkworm was instantly absorbed by Duan Yingying.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, color returned to Duan Yingying’s face. She was no longer afraid of the cold from the Celestial Witch True Essence, and her body stopped trembling slightly.
Seeing this, Duan Yanqing’s spirits soared! He was filled with confidence in Cheng Yuan!
The Nine-Change Divine Silkworm sensed a mortal threat and finally gave up its resistance. It dove headfirst into the escape route Cheng Yuan had prepared, entering Duan Yingying’s stomach and fleeing up her esophagus!
Duan Yingying felt a wave of nausea and quickly opened her mouth.
SWISH!
A flash of white light shot out of Duan Yingying’s mouth, speeding toward the room’s door in an attempt to escape!
Duan Yanqing was already prepared. How could he let the Nine-Change Divine Silkworm get away?
"Where do you think you’re going? Get in the bottle for this prince!"
Duan Yanqing’s movements were too fast. Cheng Yuan only saw an afterimage, while the others didn’t even see that, only feeling a fierce gust of wind blow past!
Duan Yanqing shook the small bottle with a triumphant look on his face. "Divine Doctor Cheng, this prince has not failed his commission. I’ve caught the Gu Insect."
Cheng Yuan held out his hand, and Duan Yanqing quickly passed the Jade Bottle to him.
Yang Qianhuan’s figure flashed, and he appeared beside the Jade Bottle to take a look. Seeing a chubby white silkworm, he couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement, "I bet even a CT scan couldn’t detect this thing, right? But Xiaoyuan found it. Xiaoyuan’s medical skills are truly incredible!"
Hu Shishi, Xiao Xun’Er, and Han Zhongming also crowded around to look, clicking their tongues in wonder.
Duan Yingying was also curious. "Cheng Yuan, can I see it? I want to know what was harming me."
"Of course you can."
Cheng Yuan handed the Jade Bottle to Duan Yingying.
Eagerly, Duan Yingying placed her hands on the armrests of her wheelchair for support and, to everyone’s surprise, stood up steadily.
"So this little thing is what almost killed me? It actually looks kind of cute."
Seeing this, Duan Yanqing almost burst into tears!
"Yingying, you’re standing! You’re standing! Hahahaha! The heavens have eyes! My daughter is cured!!"
Only then did Duan Yingying realize she was standing. She looked at Cheng Yuan excitedly. "Cheng Yuan! You actually healed me! How can I ever thank you? If all else fails, I guess I’ll just have to offer myself to you in marriage!"
