Chapter 263: Chapter 263
Because the poison hadn't been removed from Mei Li's body, the longer it remained, the greater the danger to her.
Although Ding Fan had previously sealed Mei Li's major acupoints to prevent the spread of the poison, it was still Giant Cicada Toxin—one of the top ten strange poisons in the Cultivation World, which was even more significant on Earth.
Thus, after parting ways with Cheng Bufan in haste, Ding Fan returned to the military district guesthouse.
Since Mei Li's wound was above her chest and treating it might be inconvenient, Ding Fan straightforwardly decided to keep Mu Zi with him.
At this moment, Mu Zi was quite willing to follow Ding Fan, and she wouldn't even mind sleeping by his bedside at night, if he agreed.
Following Ding Fan meant having meat to eat.
Considering how short a time Ding Fan had been in Yanjing, Mu Zi now had her own Spiritual Artifact and Magic Storage Instrument. If she followed Ding Fan for a few more days, wouldn't she become a little rich girl?
Mu Zi had one principle now, and that was to stick closely to Ding Fan.
Back at the military district guesthouse, Ding Fan went straight to his room. To avoid being disturbed, Mu Zi had a squad from the guard company set up a perimeter around them.
Once in the room, Ding Fan took Mei Li out of his storage ring and laid her flat on the bed.
Mei Li's face was peaceful, as if she was deeply asleep.
"Get some warm water and clean her wound..." Ding Fan instructed Mu Zi.
Mu Zi agreed and scurried off to prepare warm water to take care of Mei Li.
If anyone else saw this scene, they would doubt their own eyes, for who in Yanjing could order the Little Witch around like a servant? That was simply a death wish.
After Mu Zi left to take care of Mei Li, Ding Fan immediately took out the Pill Furnace.
By now, Ding Fan and the little creature had an understanding, and without Ding Fan's command, the creature shot out and directly spewed the Nine Luminaries Fire.
Watching the little creature spit fire, Mu Zi, who was nearby, was dumbfounded. The tiny creature, no bigger than a thumb, usually hid in the collar of Ding Fan's clothes, yet it could breathe fire.
Ding Fan, however, paid no mind to Mu Zi's astonishment. He promptly took the Soul Gathering Herb, rubbed it between his hands to infuse it with Spiritual Energy, and then placed it along with some auxiliary Spiritual Materials into the Pill Furnace.
The Nine Luminaries Fire, being a Heaven and Earth Strange Fire, emitted a whistling sound when Ding Fan slightly stimulated the fire seed. In no time, fragrant pill scents wafted from within the Pill Furnace.
Mu Zi, although young when she joined the three, five, six, seven groups, had seen her fair share of the world, but this was her first time witnessing Alchemy.
For a moment, Mu Zi's eyes were wide open.
Mu Zi had thought that the Second Grade Foundation Building Pills and the Third Grade God Crossing Pills Ding Fan had were all due to damn good luck snatched from others' hands.
But now, seeing Ding Fan refine Medicine Pills, she realized she was wrong; these pills must be Ding Fan's own creations.
A man barely over twenty years old could actually refine pills! And not just any pills, but Second and Third Grade Medicine Pills!
With this thought, Mu Zi felt goosebumps all over.
Before Ding Fan arrived, the object of Mu Zi's admiration was a person named Xiao Wu, close in age to her yet already at Grade Eight of Human Level.
However, it seemed now in front of Ding Fan, Xiao Wu couldn't compare at all.
Abnormal to god-like movement technique, the ability to fight against Earth Level Martial Artists, and most damningly, a man barely over twenty could already refine Medicine Pills...
At the moment, it wasn't just Xiao Wu who couldn't compare to Ding Fan, even Mu Zi's grandfather was no match...
Mu Zi watched Ding Fan's back in a daze. How many more surprises did he have to offer...
About an hour later, the Medicine Pill was ready. Ding Fan gestured casually, and the little creature immediately withdrew the Nine Luminaries Fire from under the Pill Furnace.
Ding Fan casually tossed a Foundation Building Pill out. The creature jumped adroitly and caught the pill.
Frick! Mu Zi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets at this scene.
A Second Grade Foundation Building Pill, just like that, fed to the little creature?
Bear in mind that at the Underground Auction House, the Foundation Building Pill fetched a sky-high price of a billion. Yet this billion-dollar treasure, a Pill, Ding Fan casually threw it to the creature.
Mu Zi felt a bit of chaos within her. Being outdone by others was maddening; now she looked at the little creature beside Ding Fan with envy, thinking how opulent the life of a Little Ink Monkey by his side must be...
At that moment, Mu Zi firmed up her resolve even more to stick closely to Ding Fan...
The little creature, after receiving the Foundation Building Pill from Ding Fan, protected it carefully and then scampered away from under Mu Zi's watchful eye, hiding in Ding Fan's collar. It clearly feared that Mu Zi might snatch its pill.
Mu Zi felt a burst of irritation. However, she didn't make any fuss since Ding Fan was about to treat Mei Li's wounds. She glared fiercely at the place where the creature disappeared, then watched Ding Fan intently without blinking...
Ding Fan gently opened the lid of the Pill Furnace, and as the lid was removed, waves of pill fragrance instantly dispersed. After blowing away the light mist, a dark green Medicine Pill appeared within the Pill Furnace.
This is the antidote tailored specifically to counter the Giant Cicada Toxin.
Ding Fan carefully stored the antidote. You should know that he had exerted great effort for this antidote, even engaging in a life-or-death struggle with an Earth Level Martial Artist.
So it would not be an overstatement to say this pill was invaluable.
Ding Fan placed the pill directly into Mei Li's mouth, then proceeded to release the various acupoints on her body.
After the last acupoint was unsealed, Ding Fan gently lifted Mei Li up.
Mei Li was still unconscious at this time, her body limp, showing no sign of awakening. Official source ıs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚✦𝕟𝕖𝕥
Ding Fan wasn't overly worried at this point; he lightly rested his right hand on Mei Li's fragrant shoulder. Then, he slowly began to mobilize his True Qi within, aiding Mei Li in her healing process.
Time passed, and the pill that Ding Fan had placed in Mei Li's mouth dissolved and was swallowed by her.
After ingesting the pill, a series of gurgling sounds could be heard from Mei Li's stomach.
Mu Zi watched Ding Fan intently, afraid to miss any detail...
Puh... After some time, Mei Li's delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, and then she spewed out a mouthful of blood.
Mu Zi was shocked at the sight of the blood; it was supposed to be red, but the fresh blood that Mei Li had vomited was green...
Seeing that the poisoned blood had been expelled, Ding Fan wasted no moment; he laid Mei Li flat.
At that moment, Mei Li's upper body was bare, her smooth skin emitting waves of radiance. Even if Ding Fan was extraordinary, he was still a normal man—an exceptionally strong man at that.
Therefore, at the sight of this scene, he felt an uncontrollable heat in his lower abdomen.
Since his rebirth, Ding Fan had beheld various beauties, but he felt that Mei Li's allure was the greatest, true to her name.
Enchanting and beautiful!
Ding Fan hastily chanted the Heart Clarity Spell, and after the chant, he felt the agitation in his emotions subside.
After calming his emotions, Ding Fan then placed his hands on the wound on the beautiful body.
The wound was located on the right chest, and this touch was inevitably awkward. But Ding Fan suppressed the restlessness in his heart, then exerted force with his hands, and streams of green poison were squeezed out of Mei Li's wound by Ding Fan.
In the end, using his hands was no longer convenient, so he resorted to using his mouth. He sucked out all the poison from Mei Li's wound with one suck after another.
Only when no more green poison came out, and fresh red blood appeared, did Ding Fan stop.
Now, the poison in Mei Li's body had been completely eradicated. Ding Fan promptly took out a Medicine Pill, and after crushing it with his mouth, he applied the crumbled pill to Mei Li's wound.
After all this, Ding Fan used his Divine Sense to scan Mei Li's condition.
Her breathing was even, and all the poison had been removed. Mei Li was truly pulled back from the brink by him.
While Ding Fan was saving her, Mu Zi hadn't taken her eyes off him for a second.
Although Mu Zi didn't know what poison had afflicted Mei Li, judging by the color of the poison, it was extremely powerful.
And under such a potent poison, Ding Fan actually dared to suck out the poison with his mouth...
Sometimes, watching TV is one thing; on TV, people often suck out poison, making it seem quite mundane. But in reality, this is a shocking act.
After all, how many people are willing to risk their own lives for another's?
In today's materialistic world, are there still such people?
Yet Ding Fan did it! And he did it without hesitation...
"Cough cough..." Just as Mu Zi was lost in her thoughts, Mei Li on the sickbed let out a bout of coughing.
Mu Zi immediately walked over. "Sister Mei Li, how are you feeling now?"
Seeing that Mei Li had awakened, Ding Fan instantly turned to leave. With Mei Li's upper body uncovered, lingering there would only add to the embarrassment. The patient was cured; what was there to stay for?
Mei Li slowly opened her eyes, her gaze still blurred...
"Where... where am I...?"
"Sister Mei Li, you're finally awake. You're at the military district guesthouse..." Mu Zi, seeing Mei Li awaken, said happily.
