Lily

Ethan began the second phase of the treatment. The second phase of the treatment is to extract both Extreme Coldness and Extreme Yang Medicinal Pill's residue from her body. This might not save her completely. But it will turn her normal for the time being. Later she had to cultivate her body using [Ice Heart Physique Technique]. That will be the third and final phase of her treatment.

And the final phase of the treatment will be in the girl's hands. How far she could reach, depends on her cultivation talent.

"This phase is challenging to me. I am just an Elementary Stage Cultivator. I don't have enough energy to pull out both Ice and Fire. And it has to be done simultaneously. Or else, she will die. Because if I extract either Ice or Fire from her body first, then the other energy will completely dominate her body. Extreme Yin Physique, ah? What a troublesome Physique it is.", Ethan said while he already started the treatment.

He takes out ten needles. He then inserts five needles on each finger of her left hand. At the same time, he inserts the remaining five needles into all five fingers of her right hand. He wanted to extract all the Yang energy that is fire from her right hand. While he wanted to extract Extreme Coldness which is Yin Energy from her left hand. The needle insertion and placement should be perfect without any errors. And the System has taken care of it.

Meanwhile, he took all the [Instant Recovery Pill] from the Inventory and placed them within his reach. He also purchased some more pills for safety purposes from the System Marketplace.

After inserting the needles, Ethan controlled the flow of Ice and Fire in her body. And sure enough, this process was too much for him. Very soon, his Inner Energy was completely depleted. He took the [Instant Recovery Pill] and recovered from his drastic situation.

Even though he was prepared for his Inner Energy to drain, he never imagined that it would be this quick. Ethan felt relieved with his decision of purchasing [Instant Recovery Pill] ahead of time.

Time passed within no time. It was close to two hours since the treatment started. Both Young Master Robin and Trixie were sitting outside the treatment room nervously. After a while, Trixie gathered enough courage and said, "Young Master, it's been two hours since we left Young Miss inside the room with that annoying doctor. We don't know what is happening. I am worried for Young miss. What do you think, Young Master?"

"I am not worried at all.", Young Master Robin said relaxed, "In fact, now I have a feeling that she will be fine."

"Fine?", Trixie asked in astonishment, "How could you say that?"

"She was bitten by a Grade-1 Flame Viper. You should know what that means, right? If we make calculations, it should be around one hour since she should have died. And yet, we didn't hear any news. Moreover, we are still sensing her life energy faintly. I even feel her presence getting better. You know what that's supposed to mean, right?"

"This…", Trixie was astonished. One of the reasons why she looked down on Ethan is because he is too young. Young means inexperienced. How could he have skills like the fine doctors in the entire world? She looked down on that doctor because of this reason. But from the looks of it, he is so skilled despite being young. She didn't know what to say. So she remained silent.

As for Young Master Robin, he felt relieved as he felt the patient's presence getting better and better. If anything happened to her, then he didn't know how he could answer her parents. But now he was relaxed. And for some reason, he felt Ethan is a reliable person. Maybe because of the Grade-1 fruits or whatever reason it is. He trusted him for an unknown reason.

Another hour passed. During these three hours, Ethan extracted around 70% of the Extreme Cold and Extreme Flame Pill's particles from her body. Her situation looked much more stable now. Her body which turned into ice no longer existed.

But Ethan's situation turned from bad to worse. So far due to the draining of Inner Energy at a quick pace, he became paler and paler. He just wanted to sleep. But the situation was completely difficult to digest. He can't leave a patient to die just like that. So he had to stay and work hard.

He placed two giant tubs on the left and right-hand sides of her body. The extreme coldness was being forced out from the left finger where he placed the needles. The cold particles were going inside that tub on her left side. The same could be said for the tub on her right side. The Flame particles which were extracted from the right-hand side of her body were collected in the jar that was placed on her right-hand side.

After another hour, he managed to remove all the cold and fire particles from her body. The girl finally opened her eyes. She looked around while sitting on the bed.

She then looked at Ethan and was petrified to see him. His eyes were bloodshot. Dark circles could be found around his eyes. Even an idiot could tell that he was exhausted.

She got up from the bed. She bent down and said with gratitude, "Thank you for saving my life."

"It's all right.", Ethan said with great difficulty, "I will say one thing. Just don't take those Extreme Yang Pill. It might neutralise your Extreme Coldness, but it's temporary. If you take the pill for a longer period, then you will die. I don't know which idiot prescribed you those pills to counter your situation, but don't listen to him anymore."

That girl remained silent. She didn't know what exactly she should say. Dr Strauss was a renowned doctor who is respected not only within the city but also in the neighbouring cities. So many patients come from neighbouring cities to receive treatment from him.

Dr Strauss was the one who prescribed the Extreme Yang Pill to Lily. And it even showed some positive results. And yet, Ethan called him an idiot. She didn't know what to say.

"First of all, my name is Lily. And I am not that sure, but I vaguely listened to your conversation. Just vaguely. So I have a rough idea about what happened.", That girl said, "I don't know what my situation is. But I heard you said something like Physique… May I know what it
