Chapter 495: Chapter 487 Huoyun Ancestor_1

“This is completely fine. However, my abilities are limited, so I can only do my best,” Qin Niu readily agreed.

Helping others remove the fire poison not only allowed him to increase his mastery of the Medicine King Sutra but also enabled him to win people’s hearts, achieving two goals with one action.

But he was well aware of how unpredictable human nature could be.

If the removal of the fire poison was too easy, people’s gratitude towards him would surely diminish significantly.

It wasn’t that he was insincere, but rather that the social laws of this world naturally worked in this way.

“The fire poison is domineering and extremely difficult to tackle, which everyone is well aware of. When the time comes, brother Qin, save whoever you can. If it is beyond your capabilities, then we can only leave it to fate. I believe they would all understand,” Gongsun Jin said.

Having been tormented by the fire poison for more than half a month, Gongsun Jin naturally understood that it was not easy to deal with.

The fact that Qin Niu could help him clear out the fire poison from his body was already an unexpected joy.

“Brother Qin, saving lives is as urgent as putting out a fire, I must hurry back immediately. Until next time!”

Gongsun Jin, concerned about the warriors poisoned by the fire, promptly rose to leave upon hearing Qin Niu’s agreement.

“No matter the hurry, it won’t hurt to wait a moment longer! Have a meal at my house before you go,” Qin Niu urged him to stay.

“I’m carrying some dry food and beef jerky with me. I’ll visit brother Qin’s home to bother you some other time. Then, I’ll definitely accompany brother Qin for a good drink. With extraordinary skills and upright character, I believe you are destined to be a person of great influence in the future. Take care!”

Gongsun Jin now truly regarded Qin Niu as a friend of the same stature and bid farewell with a clasped hands salute before getting into the carriage and speeding away.

…

The next morning, Qin Niu was at home arranging work for his two attendants when several carriages arrived in haste.

It turned out that right after leaving the day before, Gongsun Jin had immediately sent a message via carrier bird to inform the other high-ranking members of the Black Tiger Gang and then arranged for a group of warriors afflicted with the fire poison to come for treatment as a priority.

They bore the agonizing pain of the fire poison and rushed through the night, hoping for an early recovery.

There were a total of twenty-one people, including five Spirit Qi Realm experts and sixteen Innate Realm experts. All of them were afflicted with fire poison, with four of them hanging by a thread.

These individuals were either middle or high-ranking members of the Black Tiger Gang or masters from influential families.

Qin Niu naturally prioritized the rescue of the four most severely injured warriors.

All of them had the fire poison invading their internal organs. One of them, a boy of only seventeen or eighteen, had a body burning hot, with his clothes having been scorched away. His entire body was red and covered with blisters of various sizes, and his breath was extremely weak.

Had it not been for Qin Niu’s ability to extract the fire poison, the boy would have been doomed.

After a concerted effort in treatment, this Young Master Ye from a great family of Black Tiger City was fortunate to have his life saved.

Having rescued four people by midday and completely removed the fire poison from their bodies, Qin Niu was quite exhausted. Fortunately, the payoff was quite good, for his mastery of the Medicine King Sutra had considerably increased.

Moreover, by saving four lives, his merit was immeasurable.

Over the next three days, he continuously took action to save people, helping them to extract the fire poison.

Young Master Ye, whose actual name was Ye Jinglei, had the fire poison removed from his body, and after three days of rest, was largely recovered. When he arrived, he had to be carried into the house by the experts of the Ye Family from the carriage.

He was in a semi-comatose state, with his eyes tightly closed, an expression of pain, unable to eat or make any sound.
