First meeting with the ghost doctor
Su Xueqing looked at Xiao Feng's face, took a deep breath, and said, "I promise I won't attack you again."
His attitude was unpredictable, potentially attacking him at any time, so he certainly wasn't willing to believe any of it.
Seeing Su Xueqing's drastic change in attitude towards Xiao Feng, Chun Tao and Qiu Ju secretly came to her side.
"If we don't save him quickly, I'm afraid his meridians won't be suitable for cultivation."
For cultivators, if they can't accumulate Spirit Energy in their bodies, it's definitely a huge blow.
Thinking of Su Mu, Su Xueqing understood that Wu Yang's Father only cared about strength.
"Come with me, I have a way to treat your illness."
Chun Tao and Qiu Ju came to Xiao Feng's side and helped him up from the ground with effort.
"Don't underestimate our Ming Cult; we have many capable and extraordinary people here."
However, they hadn't found those people, which might make outsiders think that the Ming Cult was nothing special.
Xiao Feng watched them willing to take him away and followed behind them with a face full of curiosity.
Su Xueqing led the way, passed through a quiet long corridor, and arrived at the foot of the mountain behind the peak.
Looking up at the mountain peak that reached into the clouds, she said, "This is Dan Ding Peak, where a Ghost Doctor lives in seclusion. He can definitely cure your illness."
"Ghost Doctor?"
In the outside world, such people were extremely sought after.
Little did they know, the Ming Cult actually hid such a person.
Unable to use the Spirit Energy in her body, Su Xueqing could only lead the way, and it took them several hours to reach the mountain peak.
A very simple thatched cottage appeared before them, and inside, a person who looked like a scholar was tasting tea.
When he saw the two of them enter from the door, he quickly came before Su Xueqing and bowed slightly, saying, "Holy Maiden."
Even though he always stayed on the back mountain, he was very familiar with matters in the outside world.
He had long heard about the marriage between Xiao Feng and the Holy Maiden.
Liu Qisheng came before the Holy Maiden, pointed to the stone platform nearby, and said, "Let me take Miss's pulse first to see if anything is wrong."
As the Ghost Doctor consecrated by the Ming Cult, he needed to ensure that nothing happened to Su Xueqing.
As for the others, he quietly left them behind, not even taking them to heart.
"I didn't expect that you two could actually hurt each other."
People in the outside world only knew how deeply in love they were, but they never knew that the two of them also had arguments.
Su Xueqing's face turned red as she listened to Liu Qisheng's teasing words.
"Bang..."
A loud noise came from behind. Liu Qisheng and Su Xueqing looked back almost simultaneously and saw that Xiao Feng had inexplicably fallen to the ground.
When they saw this scene, they quickly worked with Chun Tao and Qiu Ju to place him on the table.
"What exactly is going on?"
Su Xueqing explained about Wu Hai teaching the Poison Skill, which made Liu Qisheng's expression extremely grim.
The name Poison Emperor was known to everyone in the outside world. If Xiao Feng's body contained extremely strong toxins, something could go wrong.
After a brief examination of Xiao Feng, he returned to the room to prepare a bathtub for him and casually placed him inside.
"There are too many accumulated toxins in his body. Let him soak well in the medicinal tub first."
He came back to the table, gave Su Xueqing a look, and motioned for her to place her hand on the stone platform.
Su Xueqing nodded slightly, not daring to make any small movements.
After taking her pulse, Liu Qisheng's eyes looked extremely troubled, saying, "This... the toxins in your body are extremely strange. I'm afraid even I don't have the ability to remove them."
This wasn't because he was incompetent, but because the Poison Skill Wu Hai used was cultivated by himself.
And precisely because he didn't understand Wu Hai, he had no idea what kind of toxins were involved in Wu Hai's Poison Skill.
In the outside world, Liu Qisheng's name was Ghost Doctor, claiming he could save anyone as long as they had a breath left.
Yet, when it came to Su Xueqing, he was completely helpless.
He walked around Su Xueqing in a complete circle, his mind seemingly lost in thought.
He placed his hand on her wrist, his brows slightly furrowed, "It's a bit troublesome. I'll suppress this power first."
He took out a box of silver needles from somewhere, weighed them in his hand several times, and then began needling Su Xueqing.
Beside them, Qiu Ju and Chun Tao were full of tension.
They didn't know if Su Xueqing would recover, and they felt completely uncertain in their hearts.
If they, as personal maids, couldn't even protect her, they believed Su Mu would definitely vent his anger on them.
With the silver needle treatment, all the toxins in Su Xueqing's body accumulated in the same place, settling down.
"Try not to use Spirit Energy during this time. When I think of a way, I will personally come to you to detoxify you."
Upon hearing that Liu Qisheng actually wanted to come to her door to detoxify her, Su Xueqing's brows furrowed slightly, completely unaware of the reason.
Seeing his expression become a bit different, Su Xueqing couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell me the truth? I think I have the right to know."
For Liu Qisheng to show such an expression, there were clearly many things involved.
Seeing Su Xueqing's expression, Liu Qisheng took a deep breath, "This... alas... it's fine to tell you anyway, you'll know sooner or later."
He looked up at Chun Tao and Qiu Ju, motioning for them not to stand there eavesdropping.
Su Xueqing understood that what Liu Qisheng was about to say must be very important, so she turned to look at them, "Wait for me outside the door."
Chun Tao and Qiu Ju exchanged glances and walked towards the door, having no intention of staying here.
After seeing them leave, Liu Qisheng recounted his past experiences of saving people.
Coincidentally, among the people he saved were some who had been injured by the Poison Emperor Wu Hai.
And with his medical skills, he happened to cure that person.
Now, his medical skills had improved, yet he was unable to completely clear the toxins from Su Xueqing's body.
Just from this simple matter, she could understand that there must be considerable trouble involved.
Beside her, Su Xueqing's eyes widened suddenly upon hearing such a thing from Liu Qisheng, "This... this... Are you saying his Poison Skill might surpass his?"
"The student surpasses the master."
During their conversation, a sound came from the medicinal tub, attracting their attention.
They looked towards it almost simultaneously and saw that Xiao Feng was gradually waking up from his coma.
Looking at the water in the medicinal tub which had turned black, he walked out with a face full of shock, "This... what exactly is going on?"
He told himself he had never encountered such a thing and felt completely uncertain in his heart.
Liu Qisheng frantically rushed to him and found that all the toxins in Xiao Feng's body had settled within, and he had returned to normal.
"He actually has such terrifying recovery ability? It's too frightening."
