Chapter 408: Expelling the Cold Poison

Xiao Ming cleared his throat after seeing both of them readily agreeing, then turned to Qing Yi.

"Do you want to stay here?"

"Will it disturb you?"

"No, it won't." Xiao Ming shook his head. It would be good if Qing Yi stayed here, as it would prevent the atmosphere from becoming too awkward, or so he hoped…

"To remove the cold poison, we can only do it one by one. Which senior should go first?"

"Sigh, let me go first..."

Qing Yi Nan stood up and turned around after giving her younger sister a quick glance. She slowly undid everything, including the hair ornaments on her head.

Her long, blue hair reached her waist after she took off the hairpiece, cascading down like a waterfall. Her waist was thin and supple beneath her jade-like back, and her two round, snow-white mounds bulged with a deep cleavage that drew one's gaze.

Her two long legs were pressed together in an elegant manner. In Xiao Ming's previous life, they would have undoubtedly been considered top-tier model legs.

When Qing Yi Nan turned back around, Xiao Ming's gaze slanted slightly. He took a few steps forward, and the jade bottle in his hand suddenly shattered, releasing a tiger-shaped creature. However, it was quickly crushed by his Dou Qi before it could escape, leaving only a pill emitting dazzling golden light in its place.

The pill spun in place, exuding an extremely rich medicinal fragrance throughout the palace. Xiao Ming's alchemy skills were impressive, to say the least.

Once again, he waved his hand, and the Nine Revolving Sun Returning Pill was presented in front of Qing Yi Nan.

"Swallow it."

Qing Yi Nan followed his instructions and swallowed the pill. As soon as it entered her mouth, it dissolved, and she felt a scorching surge rushing from her mouth to her abdomen, spreading throughout her body.

Standing by the bed, Qing Yi Nan felt a warmth she hadn't experienced in a long time and couldn't help but narrow her eyes in comfort.

Qing Yi Ya, Qing Yi, and Xiao Yi Xian had already retreated a short distance at this point. They were relieved to see Qing Yi Nan's relaxed expression, which confirmed that the Nine Revolving Sun Returning Pill was indeed effective.

But their expressions changed the moment they saw Qing Yi Nan's snowy white skin.

"It's catching fire!"

They noticed faint white flames rising from Qing Yi Nan's voluptuous body. Her lovely cheeks appeared to be tinged with pain. Her small mouth was slightly agape, and beneath her fair neck, her two plump mounds trembled slightly.

'The medicine's power is spreading.'

Xiao Ming's expression turned serious upon seeing this. The faint white flame-like substance wasn't real flames but the spreading medicinal power of the Nine Revolving Sun Returning Pill.

He swiftly changed his hand seals, summoning a dense white flame that rushed towards Qing Yi Nan, ultimately merging with the small flames on her body.

Instantly, the power of the flames seemed to strengthen. Threads of destructive aura filled the air, instilling a sense of fear and dread.

If Xiao Ming hadn't been an alchemist sought by Qing Yi herself, she would have definitely stopped him. After all, the rampage of the Heavenly Flame was no joke.

The Heavenly Flame, once inside the body, felt like a thousand ants biting at one's flesh. Even Qing Yi Nan, who was in the Semi-Saint realm, couldn't help but furrow her delicate eyebrows, grit her teeth, and endure immense pain.

At this moment, Xiao Ming closed his eyes tightly, his hands forming seals. A surging soul power continuously emanated from his brow; his consciousness completely focused within Qing Yi Nan's body.

The white flames that had penetrated every pore of her body, under Xiao Ming's meticulous control, began to exert their effects.

Bit by bit, they forced the cold poison that had deeply infiltrated and fused with Qing Yi Nan's body to surface.

"Ugh!"

Even someone as strong-willed as Qing Yi Nan at the Half-Saint realm couldn't help but emit a muffled groan under such excruciating pain. Her voice carried deep anguish.

If someone unaware witnessed this scene, they would probably think that Xiao Ming was subjecting a young girl to extreme torture.

However, Xiao Ming had no intentions of showing mercy. His hand seals shifted and changed.

The flames, like brushes, mixed with the medicinal power of the pill, washed over the skin, flesh, organs, and bones inch by inch, adopting an attitude of leaving no future troubles behind.

In reality, throughout the entire process, the flames only dealt with the relatively hard bones within the body. As for the more fragile flesh, the main force behind its treatment was the medicinal power of the Nine Revolving Sun Returning Pill, with the flames playing a supporting role to catalyze the process.

Time slowly passed. Xiao Ming, like a patient and skilled craftsman, concentrated on sculpting a piece of fine jade, intending to transform it into the most exquisite work in the world.

The flames, combined with the medicinal power, repeatedly cleansed Qing Yi Nan's flesh until a certain area was completely devoid of cold poison before moving on. Every time this happened, Qing Yi Nan would reveal a relaxed smile, only for the flames to surge towards another area of her flesh.

The only sounds inside the serene palace were Qing Yi Nan's agonizing groans. Those who knew understood she was purging the cold poison, while those who didn't could only imagine some perverted fetish.

Qing Yi Nan's body gradually ceased to emit flames. Instead, traces of frigid air seemed to materialize and emanate from her, dispersing into the surroundings.

Xiao Ming knew that this was the expelled cold poison. Normally, he would need to incinerate them using the Heavenly Flame or alert Qing Yi Nan to shake them off with her Dou Qi, or else the poison would reenter her body.

But he had no plans to do so. Wouldn't that be a waste?

"Xian'er, come and absorb the cold poison from Senior Qing Yi Nan," Xiao Ming said.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yi Xian stepped forward and stood beside Qing Yi Nan. She raised her palm, and a strong suction force emerged from it.

In an instant, the cold poison on the surface of Qing Yi Nan's body was completely absorbed by her.

As the poison entered her body, she trembled uncontrollably, feeling somewhat overwhelmed. It wasn't a good time to refine it, so she quickly mobilized the Nether Poison Flame to alleviate her condition.

"She has the Woeful Poison Body!" Qing Yi and Qing Yi Ya, who were beside her, discerned the situation.

"I didn't expect Xiao Ming's companion to possess such a constitution. No wonder this young girl has such cultivation at her age," Qing Yi Ya marveled.

"Her cultivation level is high?" Qing Yi was a bit curious. In truth, she couldn't discern Xiao Yi Xian's cultivation level. She only saw that the other party was young and assumed she must have some hidden treasure, so she didn't dwell on it.

"She is in the First Change Dou Venerate stage..."

"What!"

"Don't be surprised. To reach this level, she must have resolved the fatal flaw of the Woeful Poison Body. Such achievements are not uncommon," Qing Yi Ya responded calmly, almost certain of the situation regarding Xiao Yi Xian.

"Xiao Ming is truly exceptional to have such a person follow him. Sound Valley should get closer to him in the future..."

...

Time passed, and when the last trace of cold poison was forced out of Qing Yi Nan's body by Xiao Ming, the medicinal power within her was completely depleted.

As the final wisp of flame left her delicate body, Qing Yi Nan couldn't help but shiver involuntarily. A relieved moan escaped her lips, and a flush finally appeared on her pale face.

"It's done. Senior Qing Yi Nan's cold poison has been completely expelled."
