Chapter 1170: Chapter 1170: Forcing Out Poison
Yanxi Villa, this was a villa Lin Tian bought when the school started last September, and he only lived in it for more than three months, but Wu Yong had someone to take care of it, so it wasn’t too desolate.
After Lin Tian returned here, representatives of various ancient martial families from Luoyan Dock came to visit with pills and tonics, and there were even quite a few famous doctors lining up to check his pulse.
When Miaoqiu inquired, all these old folks gave a very consistent explanation.
Lin Tian might have practiced some kind of dark magic, now his blood flow is reversed, injuring his internal organs, his meridians are blocked, Sea of Qi is empty, Golden Core silent. Even if his body recovers, his future strength can only slowly deteriorate.
The implication was that Lin Tian had become a cripple.
But even if he was a cripple, everyone still valued him greatly, because although his personal strength could be overlooked, the various prescriptions and cultivation techniques he held were invaluable treasures. If they could establish a connection, the benefits would be endless.
Therefore, anyone who checked Lin Tian’s pulse would write a prescription, many of which included precious and rare medicinal herbs.
These herbs, at the very least, were very useful for nourishing the body and restoring the meridians.
However, any prescription from others had to be triple-checked by Miaoqiu and the others before they dared to give it to Lin Tian. As for things like acupuncture and massage, all were rejected by Miaoqiu.
The reason is simple: because these visitors were all from ancient martial families, and if they intended harm, their methods would be endless and unpredictable. With just a silver needle, they could destroy a person’s internal meridians. By then, even if Lin Tian could recover, his cultivation would be wasted by these people; in more severe cases, it could even easily cost him his life.
Such a big risk, Miaoqiu was unwilling to take.
In fact, these days, Lin Tian almost only took pills to consolidate his foundation and nourish his essence. With the day and night care of Mei Ruyan and Miaoqiu, his complexion improved significantly, and he slowly woke up.
Ancient medicine emphasizes nurturing, so Lin Tian’s recovery was not quick, and being able to wake up within a day was largely due to his inherently strong physique.
After waking up, besides Miaoqiu, Mei Ruyan, and Bai Shishi, all others were expelled from the room.
For a while, representatives sent by various ancient martial families could only stay in the villa, numbering around thirty people. Fortunately, the villa was large enough for these old folks to drink tea, play chess, chat, and gossip. No one cared, as long as they didn’t dismantle the house, they were left to do whatever they liked.
As for the room, Lin Tian sat cross-legged on the bed, with the three women guarding him, watching him with faces full of worry.
After about half an hour, Lin Tian finally reacted but suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a pool of blood.
This scared the three of them terribly, fearing that Lin Tian would faint again. What those old folks said before was already frightening enough, and if he fainted again, could his body take it?
Lin Tian propped himself up with one hand on the bed, waved the other hand at them, and said, "I’m fine, don’t worry."
He said not to worry, but the three of them were even more anxious than ants on a hot pan, because Lin Tian’s voice was too weak, entirely breathless.
"How about I go invite Mr. Zhao?" Bai Shishi asked, still unable to trust those outside.
"No need, I know my body, others can’t help."
"Then, what should we do?"
Mei Ruyan’s pale face was flushed with anxiety; seeing her so anxious was truly rare.
"I can solve it myself. You guys go fill a bathtub with water in the bathroom, the hotter the better, pour in the Bone Marrow Cleansing Elixir, as much as you have, I need to soak for a while," Lin Tian said.
"Okay, I’ll go right away."
After speaking, Mei Ruyan ran towards the bathroom first. She hadn’t rested much the whole day, just watching over Lin Tian, but couldn’t help much. Now, finally able to help a bit, she was naturally active.
"What about us?" Miaoqiu asked.
"I’m weak, later when I soak in the bathtub, I’ll need you to help take off my clothes and pants, and carry me over."
While saying this, Lin Tian was full of helpless humor. Letting them take off his clothes and pants was acceptable, but having them carry him over? He used to always carry them. Now it was the other way around.
Pfft~
Hearing Lin Tian say this, coupled with his aggrieved expression, the two women were instantly amused, alleviating much of the tension.
Miaoqiu sat beside Lin Tian with a smile, saying, "Later, when I carry you like a princess, you better hold me tight, if you’re still scared, put your head on my chest."
After speaking, Miaoqiu leaned back slightly, offering Lin Tian a perfect view of a vast expanse of creamy whiteness through her neckline.
This vixen! Even at such a time, she didn’t forget to tease! If he had the strength now... he’d handle her right here!
Quickly, the water on Mei Ruyan’s side was ready. Miaoqiu picked up Lin Tian in her arms, joking, "Little girl, give Grandpa a smile."
Lin Tian was full of helpless humor. Didn’t he also tease her like this before?
"Not speaking, shy?" Miaoqiu laughed, carrying Lin Tian towards the bathroom, with the stance of a mandarin ducks’ bath.
Lin Tian knew this was just the beginning; once in the bathroom, these three rogue women would have to help strip him.
Bai Shishi watched the two bantering, secretly wiping her tears at the corner of her eyes.
To smile so happily under such circumstances, it must be a play!
After stripping Lin Tian and placing him in the bathtub, the three women withdrew from the bathroom, but the door remained open, just in case anything unexpected happened.
After Lin Tian entered the water, he submerged his head as well, which made Bai Shishi nervous. Luckily, Miaoqiu explained the situation, otherwise Bai Shishi might have assumed he was drowning.
Soon, small black dots began to appear on the water’s surface, floating together, making one’s scalp tingle.
"W-what are those things?" Mei Ruyan asked.
"I don’t know, but there’s a strange smell,"
"Maybe it’s related to those flowers."
The three women speculated but dared not approach, fearing they’d disturb Lin Tian.
In fact, these floating black dots on the water’s surface had always been clogging Lin Tian’s meridians. Driven by heartbeat and blood flow, they had spread throughout his body, like maggots on bones. To expel these things, he first used hot water to open his pores, so that the Bone Marrow Cleansing Elixir’s efficacy could enter the body, then used the remaining bit of Spiritual Qi in his Sea of Qi to force these things out.
It’s worth noting that this bathtub of water contained nearly one hundred and fifty Bone Marrow Cleansing Elixirs. If those old folks outside knew about this extravagance, they would probably jump and curse.
Such a good thing as Bone Marrow Cleansing Elixir, couldn’t you just take two pills? Why waste them like this? If you don’t want them, give them to us!
