67 Treating Fan Song Xue - 22.4 (1/2)

Almost collapsing from exhaustion, Fan Zhu Xia popped another Vitality Returning Pill into her mouth before bringing out another jade bottle and placing the last batch of pills inside.

Aside from the Absolute Purging Pill, Fan Zhu Xia had to refine four more pills and a medicinal elixir to add to the other pills she already had in her possession before she can start her treatment.

The Marrow-cleansing Pill which was bone white in color and has a great effect of refining and reinforcing the whole skeletal system, removing any impurities while strengthening it, making the person's bones as strong as metal. Fan Zhu Xia thought to refine this since she noticed upon examining Fan Song Xue earlier that some of the poison has also seeped into her grandfather's bones which can prove problematic if not addressed quickly.

The Meridian Revitalizing Pill was another one she refined, which was a pale amber in color with a visibly greenish sheen to it and as the name implies, it revitalizes damaged meridians while purifying and removing any impurities while also reconstructing and reinforcing it to another level. This will be useful in reparing the damage that the poison caused when it burrowed in Fan Song Xue's meridians.

Fan Zhu Xia also cococted the Spirit Reinforcement Pill which had a color of pale blue in with a barely visible white pattern and a slight silvery sheen to it. This particular pill helps strengthen the mind and soul and is especially effective in treating injuries to the mind and spirit. It can also give a boost to one's mental fortitude, soul strength and helping in calming the mind which will be especially useful and helpful to her grandfather once the treatment starts since it'll help with facing the initial onslaught of pain.

To support the Spirit Reinforcement Pill, Fan Zhu Xia also concocted the Pain Nullification Elixir which is a medicinal concoction that helps numb the pain receptors and lessens the sensation of pain that the person feels. This way, despite the agony that Fan Song Xue might experience during the course of the treatment, he will have a higher chance of enduring and holding on.

To avoid any backlash, the last batch of pills that Fan Zhu Xia refined was the Energy Stabilizing Pill which was a vibrant yellow in color with hints of jade. She refined this since consuming this pill helps calm the flow of qi in the body and also helps treat qi deviation. In the case of the poisoning of 'The Eternal Damnation', since this poison feeds on the individual's qi and cultivation, once it is extracted from the body, it might cause a recoil that could cause a significant amount of damage and the Energy Stabilizing Pill is a good counter-measure against it.

Bringing all the pills she refined with her along with a bottle of Vitality Returning Pills that she refined which can help her recover her energy as well as Fan Song Xue's, she also brought out a bottle of Blood Enhancing Pills which can also detoxify impurities and improve her grandfather's blood quality and purity which was most likely affected due to the poison while at the same time helping Fan Song Xue regenerate it faster.

Since this was still a case of severe poisoning like the little girl; Mu Lan Fen, the only difference was their bodies' state of decline so she decided on using the same procedure as a start so that she can accurately see the changes inside Fan Song Xue's body during the treatment.

Flicking her finger, a pill that was pure white in color with silvery blue patterns and was visibly giving a subtle pulsing glow appeared in between her slender fingertips while exuding a gentle, calming medicinal scent that almost had floral undertones to it.

This was the Mind Awakening Pill; a pill that can only be concocted by the Cong Clan and their disciples which increased in rarity ever since the clan was wiped out. It has the potent effect of calming the mind and soul while strengthening it and if applied to a person suffering from injuries to the mind or soul or people in a deep coma then it can help them recover and give a jolt with it's medicinal effect which can result in the person waking up.

Gently reaching forward, Fan Zhu Xia leaned forward and slowly pried Fan Song Xue's mouth open and place the pill inside and let it dissolve on his tongue while at the same time moving her hands on to Fan Song Xue's temples and letting her qi seep in to help regulate the medicinal effects of the Mind Awakening Pill while stimulating Fan Song Xue's brain activity with precision and extreme care.

A short moment passed and Fan Zhu Xia heard a soft, almost inaudible groan making her eyes which had fluttered close the moment she concentrated snap back open to meet clear brown eyes staring at her.

Surprised, it took Fan Zhu Xia a moment to gather herself but before she could open her mouth to speak, a rough and hoarse voice spoke before her.

”Who are you?”

Although startled by the question, Fan Zhu Xia managed to answer as she removed her hands from Fan Song Xue's temples and instead stoop up and poured a cup of water as she talked.

”My given name is Zhu Xia and I am Fan Hui Zhong's adopted daughter. He took me in after finding me unconscious at a riverbank.”

Seeing his still questioning glance, Fan Zhu Xia took a seat just at the side of the bed and continued explaining.

”The reason I am here is to treat you and help stabilize your condition. An assassin came and tried to finish you off but the guards that Uncle Liang put in charge of protecting you managed to detect it in time, coupled with the protective seals surrounding you, they were able to capture the assassin.”

Before Fan Song Xue could prompt her to explain further, Fan Zhu Xia already resumed talking.

”I was from the Cong clan. To give you the gist of it, I am one of the few remaining survivors of my clan which I am sure you know is quite renowned for our medical expertise.”

”As for the pill that I just fed you, it's the Mind Awakening Pill that out clan specially makes. If you circulate your energy now, you'll be able to absorb more of the medicinal effects and we can start the treatment.”

With understanding dawning in him, Fan Song Xue wasted no words and decided to follow what she said.

After all, it wasn't like he had any choice!

The moment he regained his consciousness, he sensed that his body was incredibly weak and his qi was an absolute mess as well something was draining his already meager strength so even if this girl was lying and she was actually the assassin that she spoke of, there isn't anything he'll really lose.

The worst thing that can happen is that he will just be hastening his death!

Circulating his qi, Fan Song Xue felt some pain but at the same time he felt his mind grow increasingly clearer and can even faintly feel his divine sense's strength rise.

Opening his eyes, he then hoarsely spoke in a matter-of-fact manner as he stared at the young lady in front of him.

”You were telling the truth.”

”Of course. I wouldn't lie about anything this serious... Now that you believe me, would you like to take a sip of water before we proceed with the treatment? Or would you like to get straight to it?”

”Water first please...”

Lifting his head up gently, Fan Zhu Xia brought the cup of water to Fan Song Xue's chapped lips and let him sip water in small amounts, quenching his thirst before she brought the cup away despite his weak protests.

”Please you must understand, too much water isn't good for you at the moment. Wait after we finish the treatment and I'll have someone arrange something suitable for you to eat.” Fan Zhu Xia told him coaxingly.

”Very well.”

”Alright then. Before we start, I'll explain everything first if that's okay? That way you'll know what to expect.”

”En.” Fan Song Xue said as he nodded in assent.

”You have been poisoned using poison called 'The Eternal Damnation' by the assassin clan who specializes in poison with the clan name 'Zhan'. This poison is almost like our Cong clan's 'The Immortal's Decline' but is more focused on causing agony and torture while viciously eating away at the body. Only good thing about this poison is that it can still be cured, unlike 'The Immortal's Decline' which can only be cured by people from the Cong clan.”

Pausing for a brief moment to let all the information sink in, Fan Zhu Xia then added in a serious voice and told him, ”This means that based on the poison alone and how long it has been incubated in your body while feeding on your qi. Thus the process of removing it will be extremely agonizing and in order for the treatment to succeed and for you to survive without any lingering effects from the poison, you'll have to stay conscious and follow my instructions to the letter and not let the pain overwhelm your senses or else it can leave lasting damage.”

”Understood. When do we start?”

”Now.”

Opening several jade bottles, Fan Zhu Xia used her qi and drew out pills from each and it flew to her hand, totalling to six pills.
