Chapter 356: Chapter 356

Ding Fan took off his clothes and climbed into the iron tub.

To save Ye Ningbing now, the most important thing was to force out the poison in her heart meridian.

With her heart meridian damaged, the chance of healing was one in ten thousand. But Ding Fan still wanted to give it a try.

Ye Ningbing had no cultivation at present. The main reason why Ding Fan also took off his clothes and joined Ye Ningbing in the tub was because...

The best way to expel the poison in the heart meridian was for Ye Ningbing to start detoxifying herself. And since Ye Ningbing had no cultivation, she had also passed out by now.

Without other options, the only way Ding Fan could was to have several of their major acupuncture points closely touching each other. Then, Ding Fan would be able to control the breath inside Ye Ningbing's body.

This was the only method available at the moment.

After Ding Fan jumped into the tub, he sat down and, after some adjustments, he held Ye Ningbing in his arms.

Ye Ningbing's skin was smooth and slippery. Although she was unconscious at this time, the scent of a woman still made it hard for Ding Fan to compose himself.

After all, both of them were naked, and with skin touching skin, it would be difficult for anyone to maintain their composure.

Once Ding Fan held Ye Ningbing in his arms, his right hand rested on her chest—one of the major acupoints. Then, with his own chest, he pressed against Ye Ningbing's back heart, and his left hand rested on Ye Ningbing's smooth lower abdomen.

The most deadly act was when Ding Fan wrapped his legs around Ye Ningbing's slender waist.

For Ding Fan, the current action was simply torment. After all, he was a vigorous young man, and to hold a woman —it would be unbelievable if he could remain unaffected.

But now, Ding Fan dared not let his thoughts wander and busied himself with reciting the Heart Clarity Spell.

Ye Ningbing's life hung by a thread, fearing even a moment's delay might mean she would never wake up again.

At that moment, Ding Fan hugged Ye Ningbing tightly while connecting several major acupoints on her body. Afterward, Ding Fan closed his eyes and transferred a wisp of True Qi to Ye Ningbing's body, before beginning to control the breath within her body.

Ye Ningbing was deeply poisoned at this time. Ding Fan, using the method of absorbing Spiritual Energy, controlled Ye Ningbing's body, absorbing the medicinal essence within the tub.

In theory, this method of healing could work.

Previously in Dongcheng, after helping Ning Luoxi find the "Xuanxue True Healer," Ding Fan had also studied Xuanxue True Healing for a while. Now to save Ye Ningbing, Ding Fan was attempting to use the medical techniques from Xuanxue True Healing.

About ten minutes later, Ding Fan realized that this healing method was far too slow.

There's an old saying in Huaxia, "Illness descends like a landslide but leaves like spinning silk!"

Ding Fan wasted a lot of True Qi only to extract a few strands of poison from the heart meridian, which was nothing compared to the amount of poison in Ye Ningbing's body.

At the current rate of healing, Ye Ningbing would have died long before the poison in her heart meridian was forced out.

Ding Fan's brows furrowed tightly at that moment. Could it be that Ye Ningbing's poison was truly incurable?

Squeak... Just then, a shadow darted directly in front of Ding Fan.

As the shadow stood in front of Ding Fan, he recognized its true identity.

It was none other than the Illusory Palm that he had brought out from the forbidden land!

After acquiring the Illusory Palm, Ding Fan had always kept it inside his storage ring; he didn't understand why the Illusory Palm would appear at such a time.

While Ding Fan was still puzzled, the Illusory Palm, seemingly very excited, leapt directly in front of Ye Ningbing and pressed tightly against her chest.

As Ding Fan probed with Divine Sense and understood the Illusory Palm's intentions, he was overjoyed.

The Illusory Palm was now vigorously absorbing the poison that had clogged Ye Ningbing's heart meridian. What Ding Fan had struggled to draw out in strands, the Illusory Palm had sucked away one-tenth to one-fifth in just a few breaths.

The Illusory Palm actually had such an effect.

Ding Fan was greatly delighted. With the Illusory Palm, the poison in Ye Ningbing might not be incurable after all.

In the Cultivation World, Ding Fan had heard that the Illusory Palm liked poisons, and seeing it today, it truly was a nemesis of poisons. For origınal chapters go to 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦·𝘯𝘦𝘵

He didn't know how much time had passed when Ye Ningbing's pale face finally started showing some signs of color, and at that moment, the Illusory Palm's belly was actually swollen, waddling as it moved, seemingly stuffed with overindulgence.

Having absorbed the poison from Ye Ningbing's body, the Illusory Palm obediently returned to Ding Fan's storage ring.

The Illusory Palm was even able to break the seal of the Magic Storage Instrument. This treasure was indeed effective.

Ding Fan then used Divine Sense to investigate, and to his surprise, the poison accumulated in Ye Ningbing's heart meridian had almost gone.

This little bit of poison was no longer a threat to Ye Ningbing's life.

Yet still, Ding Fan did not dare to relax in the slightest, and hurriedly stimulated his True Qi, helping Ye Ningbing expel the remaining poison from her body.

Within this iron bucket, there were all kinds of medicinal herbs and antidote, and with Ding Fan's True Qi pressing down, it didn't take long before the poison in Ye Ningbing's body was forced out.

Just in a short while, the entire bucket turned as black as ink. Ding Fan then lifted Ye Ningbing out of the bucket and took her straight to the washroom.

There was a shower in the washroom, and turning it on, Ding Fan helped wash away the bodily waste from Ye Ningbing. Cleaning her up involved touching the untouchable, inevitably leading to several awkward moments.

After hurriedly cleansing the waste from Ye Ningbing's body, Ding Fan carried her back to the bed.

Ding Fan took a pill from his storage ring and placed it into Ye Ningbing's mouth. By this point, Ye Ningbing's life could be considered saved.

Although some poison still remained in her body, she would make a full recovery after some time and proper care.

Ding Fan covered Ye Ningbing with a blanket.

He was amazed at her luck in surviving, given the injury to her heart meridian by the poison.

At that moment, Ding Fan felt fortunate to have the assistance of the Illusory Palm.

It seemed that the spiritual beast knew it wanted to help extract the poison from Ye Ningbing's heart meridian, hence it lent a hand. Since acquiring the beast, Ding Fan had yet to communicate with its spirit.

Without communication of spirits, it was able to infer its master's intent, proving indeed that the spiritual beast was clever!

Ding Fan also took a shower, and after that, he changed his clothes.

Ye Ningbing was still deeply asleep; Ding Fan did not wish to disturb her and proceeded to open the room door. Outside, Mu Zi and Xian Shui had been waiting the entire time.

When they learned that Ding Fan had managed to expel Ye Ningbing's poison, they couldn't help but cheer and leap for joy.

However, Ding Fan repeatedly instructed Mu Zi to say that the poison from Ye Ningbing had been cured by a specialist she invited from abroad.

There were primarily two reasons for Ding Fan saying this.

One reason was because the process of treating Ye Ningbing was overly intimate. It would be awkward for both of them if she knew.

The other reason was due to the heavy burden on Ye Ningbing's heart. If he saved her life, she would likely overthink the gratitude she owed. Therefore, it was better for Ye Ningbing not to know that it was he who cured her.

Mu Zi had no objections. After all, she would do whatever Ding Fan asked of her.

Xian Shui also had no objections. She obeyed Ding Fan's commands without question!

After curing Ye Ningbing, Ding Fan himself depleted much of his True Qi. He then went straight back to his room. With Xian Shui taking care of Ye Ningbing, Ding Fan didn't need to worry too much. It was a good opportunity for him to sit cross-legged and replenish his Spiritual Energy.

It took Ding Fan an entire night and the consumption of a few pills to recover some of his True Qi.

But when Ding Fan opened his eyes, he found the Illusory Palm, looking dumb and cute as it lay on his knees, gazing at him with big, round eyes.

"Master... you're finally awake!" The Illusory Palm expressed its delight upon seeing Ding Fan awaken.

Ding Fan was stunned for a moment. The Illusory Palm could speak? He then sent his Divine Sense over and to his surprise, discovered that the Illusory Palm had advanced to the Second Layer of Enlightenment.

He knew that when he first obtained this spiritual beast, it was not even at a Grade Level; how could it have ascended to the Second Layer of Enlightenment in such a short time?

Perceiving Ding Fan's confusion, the Illusory Palm wagged its chubby body. "Master, the Silkworm Poison inside the female master yesterday was very powerful. Without that poison, I wouldn't have been able to ascend to the Second Layer of Enlightenment overnight."

Ding Fan then understood.

The Illusory Palm always loved processing poison. The more potent the poison, the quicker their cultivation would advance.

This Silkworm Poison was indeed formidable, allowing the Illusory Palm to leap to the Second Layer of Enlightenment in just one night!

The Ye Family had indeed proven to be ruthless, to employ such a vicious poison on Ye Ningbing, an unarmed girl!

Rapidly, Ding Fan's Divine Sense connected with the Illusory Palm. In an instant, they were communicating in spirit.

"Master, considering I cured the female master, could you give me a name..." As the Illusory Palm spoke, its bright eyes began to twinkle again.

"The woman yesterday was not the female master; she was just someone I needed to save," Ding Fan said, not wanting to accrue more emotional debts now than he already owed.

"If she isn't the female master, then why could you hold her so tightly..."

Ding Fan didn't want to hear more nonsense from the Illusory Palm, so he straightaway tossed a pill to it.

Upon receiving the pill, the Illusory Palm's eyes lit up.

That was a Second Grade pill, and the master just casually bestowed it upon him...

The Illusory Palm hurriedly swallowed the pill... "Thank you master... thank you master..."
