Tuoba Han only now understood what Sima You yue meant, and he entered the inner house. There was indeed a large wooden barrel inside, and it was filled with a thick layer of medicinal ingredients.

He stripped bare before stepping inside.

Sima You Yue walked in, and she held a tray in her hands,. That had many different bottles and jars on it.

She used her feet to hook the leg of a stool before placing the tray on it. Then, she chose a bottle and opened it, pouring the entire of its contents inside.

There were dark green ones, blood red ones, black ones, and the liquids of different colours were all poured in it. The initially peaceful water began to bubble.

Tuoba Han was rather surprised and was thinking using his spirit energy to withstand it when You Yue’s voice came from over his head.

“It isn’t bubbling because the temperature is too high. It’s because of the medicinal properties. It won’t burn you. Don’t use your spirit energy now. Otherwise, I won’t be able to start the next round of your treatment.”

Since she spoke this way, Tuoba Han forced himself to relax. Although the temperature was rather high, it wasn’t at the point where he couldn’t bear it.

“You Yue, you used to just perform acupuncture. Why are you using this method this time?” He was rather confused still. He did have a thought, but he also felt like it was impossible.

“I was just helping you to suppress it in the past. This time, I’m curing you completely. Of course it won’t be the same. Open your mouth.”

He was unable to react for a moment, and subconsciously opened his mouth. Sima You Yue stuffed a pill into his mouth and he ate it before saying in shock, “You- you said you’re getting rid of it completely?”

“Yeah. If nothing goes wrong, you should be rid of it this time.” Sima You Yue said, “I still have to perform acupuncture on you to help you absorb the medicine to its fullest. Don’t’ talk. Don’t be too excited either. Otherwise, if I don’t acupuncture you properly, you’ll be in for it.”

“Okay.”

Tuoba Han saw the needles in her hand and forcefully suppressed his excitement and got himself to calm down. After which, he nodded at her to show that she could begin.

The acupuncture was simple. She merely targeted his six vital points before sitting at the side, drinking tea. After a moment, she walked over and looked at the colour of the water before taking a bottle from the tray and poured the contents into the barrel.

After doing this a few times, there were no more bottles left on the tray and she finally stopped. Then, she stuffed another pill into his mouth and said, “Tell me when the water is calm again.”

After a moment, Tuoba Han called out to her and she walked over. She took a basin and placed it beside the water barrel and said, “Stretch out your hand.”

He complied. Who would have thought that she would take a dagger and slash his arm and put it in the basin. Afterwards, she dashed behind him and kept those needles away.

The moment the needles left his body, fresh pinkish blood started to pour out of his wounds. One could tell at a glance that his blood wasn’t the usual red and there were issues with it.

“If you feel blood rolling in your chest, don’t suppress it. Spit it out.”

Tuoba Han nodded. He saw that the blood at his wrist was slowly turning red, and knew that the blood in body was beginning to be expelled. As he watched, his chest really started to feel uncomfortable and he obeyed her instructions, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Sima You Yue waited until he spit blood out before taking his pulse on his other hand. She casually put it down and took another wooden barrel with clean water. She walked beside him and saw that more than half of the basin was filled with fresh blood. After changing twice, she took out medicinal powder and sprinkled it on his wound.

“This is the last pill. After eating it, you can go into the wooden barrel to wash up. I’ll wait for you outside.” She stuffed the pill into his mouth then stood up and left.

Tuoba Han could feel his rolling blood gradually calm down. He gathered the spirit energy in his body and sensed it. The restriction was completely gone and his body had never felt so comfortable.

The poison was eradicated!

He clenched and unclenched his fists in happiness. His heart was filled with unspeakable joy. He initially thought that he would only be able to cure himself of the poison after obtaining that object from the sect. Who would have thought that he wouldn’t need to do so at all. In that case, there was no need for him to put himself in such danger.

The faint smell of blood started to come off the water and he immediately stood up and got out. He saw that there was a myriad of colours all over his body, so he quickly went to the other water barrel.

Sima You Yue walked out and the sky had already turned dark. The treatment had taken a whole day.

When the heard the door open, Feng Yu Hang and Sima You Lin stood up.

“All done?” Sima You Lin asked.

“Yeah, rather smoothly too.” Sima You Yue had been busy the whole day, so she walked over to the pavilion and sat down. She casually took the teapot on the table and started to boil water.

Feng Yu Hang, who was beside them, was unable to react for a moment. He asked excitedly, “You’re saying that Han’s poison has been eradicated?”

“Yeah, he won’t have to suffer those torments anymore.” Sima You Yue said.

“You’re really the best!” Feng Yu Hang looked at Sima You Yue in worship. He had never thought that a poison that so many were helpless to treat, would actually be cured at her hands.

Furthermore, she was still so young! Initially, he had also thought it a waste when he heard that she had chosen to learn medicine. Now, however, he found that she was so talented in this area, so she must definitely be happy about it.

“You guys take your time, I’m going back to rest.” Sima You Yue left the pavilion as she spoke, and went to another house.”

A short moment later, Tuoba Han appeared. He saw that his eyes had a gaze that was different, and Feng Yu Hang knew that the poison had truly been eradicated.

Tuoba Han looked around and didn’t see Sima You Yue, so he asked, “Where’s You Yue?”

“He’s tired so he went back to rest first.” Sima You Lin said, “He wanted me to tell you to forget about the treatment fee. In the future, if we should need to bother Lord Tuoba for anything, we will request your aid.”

“That’s a given.” Tuoba Han answered.

“Let’s go, it’s time to return.” Feng Yu Hang said.

“Then we will bid you farewell.” Tuoba Han cupped his fists to Sima You Lin, “Please tell You Yue that I will look for him the next time.”

“Okay.”

Sima You Yue had not entered a state of cultivation, and knew that Tuoba Han and the others were leaving. Once they left, she crossed her legs and began to recover her strength.

It may have seemed like she didn’t do much the whole day, but she was observing Tuoba Han’s situation the whole time. If something happened, she would have had to halt the treatment process, so the stress was huge.

Tuoba Han and Feng Yu Hang went to the teleportation array at the sect. Only this way would they be able to head to the inner sect. Furthermore, it was just to the mountains outside the inner sect. When they reached there, they would still have to walk down a stretch of road.

On the way back, Tuoba Han told Feng Yu Hang about his treatment today. He thought about how many ingredients were necessary, and how she had to pour them in at different points in time as well as accompany it with acupuncture. It was truly a difficult process.

“It’s inconceivable that he’s only over twenty years old. He actually knows such a complicated treatment method.” Feng Yu Hang sighed.

“Yeah, but we really have to be grateful that he is so powerful.” Tuoba Han was smiling, feeling rather good.

“That’s right, we really should… who is that?”

Feng Yu Hang and Tuoba Han exchanged glances. The place that silhouette was headed to was the inner sect, and the place that Tuoba Han wanted to go.
