Chapter 501 - 166: Great Harvest, Another Divine Technique! (Subscribe Please)_6

This pill is a reflection of considerable value.

It’s like giving mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, where the mooncake is fifty, the box a hundred, but sold for three hundred a box.

Of course, the Nine-flavor Detoxification Pill is indeed very precious as well.

Chen Jie handed the Elixir to Liu Laoguai who, upon seeing such an exquisite box, immediately knew this antidote must be expensive.

He felt even more grateful towards Chen Jie.

At this moment, Liu Laoguai asked, "How should it be taken?"

Chen Jie replied, "Orally. It would be best if Guild Leader Liu could use his Inner Strength to dissolve the Elixir’s potency."

After hearing this, Liu Laoguai said, "Hmm, then please have Jiu Si guide us."

As they spoke, a group of people entered the room, and then they saw Liu Song lying on the bed, who had grown much thinner. In the past few days, he hadn’t taken in food or water, so his body has inevitably become emaciated.

At this time, Bai Mosheng had someone help the young master to sit up.

Liu Laoguai sat down cross-legged, hands pressed against Liu Song’s back.

Then Bai Mosheng placed the antidote into Liu Song’s mouth.

Liu Song had already lost his ability to swallow, so Bai Mosheng had no choice but to forcibly send it down.

Liu Laoguai’s hands turned a fiery red, a distinctive feature of his unique divine technique, the Fiery Fire Skill. As he pressed his hands against Liu Song’s back, his Inner Strength infused into Liu Song’s body, circulating through the extraordinary meridians and channels.

Liu Laoguai used his own Inner Strength to help dissolve the Elixir within Liu Song.

Since Liu Song practiced the same Internal Cultivation Methods, there was no sense of discordance due to the direct succession; it was even easier to help him digest the potency of the medicine.

It didn’t take long for Liu Song to show a reaction. His originally pale face with black lines began to lose the lines after the medicine’s potency was dissolved, followed by the return of color to his ghastly pallor.

"Puh~"

Suddenly, Liu Song opened his mouth and a mouthful of black blood sprayed out.

Upon seeing this, a smile appeared on Chen Jie’s face; the poison blood had been expelled.

Bai Mosheng also showed a smile on his face, relieved that their efforts hadn’t been in vain. He gestured to have a servant clean the young master.

Liu Laoguai also opened his eyes and said, "He should be fine now."

Bai Mosheng said, "Master Chen, being a disciple of Doctor Bai, you must be a medical expert as well, right? Could you please have a look?"

Chen Jie, hearing this, said, "I was just thinking the same."

Placing his hand on Liu Song’s pulse, Chen Jie felt it had already stabilized and said, "Hmm, he should recover by dawn tomorrow."

Liu Laoguai said, "We owe Brother Chen a great debt this time."

Chen Jie replied, "Guild Leader Liu is too courteous. If there’s nothing else, I should take my leave."

Upon hearing this, Liu Laoguai said, "Jiu Si, I’d like to have a few words with you."

Chen Jie looked at Liu Laoguai and asked, "Does Guild Leader Liu have any advice for me?"

Liu Laoguai replied, "It’s not advice, just some heartfelt words."

"Jiu Si, I’ve heard about your situation from my scouts. All of your guards died in battle; this is a vendetta that must be avenged!" Liu Laoguai said as he looked at Chen Jie. Chen Jie remained silent, knowing Liu Laoguai surely had more to say.

Liu Laoguai continued, "However, Jiu Si, the current directive from above is to maintain stability and avoid conflict. What Nan Batian did was indeed excessive. I, myself, wish I could eat his flesh and drink his blood, but our influence in Mianshui is important to consider."

"I understand. What are you trying to say, Guild Leader Liu?" Chen Jie said calmly.

Elder Liu said, "Impatience can ruin grand plans, we cannot go to war with Nan Batian now, otherwise, the loss would outweigh the gain. Although it was Guild Cao who sought your help and the death of your brothers is related to Guild Cao, we will not provoke Darugachi."

"If you insist on seeking revenge on Nan Batian, I’m afraid Guild Cao might find it difficult to intervene. Of course, if Nan Batian seeks trouble, Guild Cao will certainly help your White Tiger Hall!"

"So, Jiu Si, do you understand what I mean?"

After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Elder Liu and said, "Hehe, I understand, Brother Liu. Thank you for being frank with me. Actually, I understand all that you have said. Rest assured, I won’t blindly go against Nan Batian. But I also will not let him go. The grudge I have against him cannot be resolved."

Elder Liu said, "Good, I too have a deep grudge against him, equally unresolvable. When this precarious time passes, if you seek to avenge yourself on Nan Batian, count me in."

Chen Jie bowed and said, "Thank you, Guild Leader Liu."

Elder Liu said, "Hmm, Jiu Si, it is I who should thank you. After all, you are the one who suffered the greatest loss in this matter."

Hearing this, Chen Jie did not respond. The two exchanged a glance and Chen Jie said, "If there is nothing else, Guild Leader Liu, I will take my leave now."

Elder Liu said, "Hmm, Jiu Si, take care. Oh, and our alliance is now in effect."

Chen Jie nodded.

He then left the Guild Cao, and at this moment, Xiao Hu caught up with Chen Jie and said, "Fourth Brother Jiu Si, Elder Liu is just too inconsiderate. We lost so many people for his son, and he just lets it go like that?"

Chen Jie shook his head and said, "Hehe, he is already being considerate enough. At least he was clear with us. I was never planning to take on Nan Batian head-on. Now is not the time to deal with him. Elder Liu is right, Mianshui County is under Darugachi’s control."

Xiao Hu frowned upon hearing this and then quickly added, "Ah, I don’t understand these matters. Fourth Brother Jiu Si, wouldn’t it be great if Darugachi also wanted to get rid of Nan Batian? Then we could take him down in a justified manner."

"Hmm?"

Chen Jie paused, glanced at Xiao Hu, and narrowed his eyes without speaking.

That was not impossible. However, it would require planning, looking for the right opportunity.

...

At this moment, at the Fishing Guild Headquarters.

Nan Batian, Huang Wan’er, was eating at the table.

Nan Batian managed a rare smile and said, "Wan’er, you’ve lost weight since I saw you half a month ago."

"Thank you, Gang Leader, for your concern."

Huang Wan’er nodded in thanks, and at that moment, Nan Batian picked up a piece of braised pork and said, "Here, Wan’er, have some meat."

This piece of pork was marbled, looking succulent yet not greasy—a dish that Huang Wan’er used to love.

However, once this piece of pork was placed in Huang Wan’er’s bowl, her face suddenly changed, and she covered her mouth, feeling the urge to retch.

Nan Batian was startled, "Wan’er, what’s wrong, what happened?"

Huang Wan’er forcefully suppressed her nausea and said, "Nothing, Gang Leader, it’s probably the fatigue from traveling. I’m tired, I will return to my room now, uh~"

Saying so, with the help of Du Juan, Huang Wan’er hurriedly went to her room.

Seeing this, Nan Batian’s face was filled with suspicion. Fatigue from traveling?

Unlikely.

Nan Batian narrowed his eyes and gestured for one of his subordinates saying, "You, go to Mr. Liu’s house immediately and have him come over to take a look at the madam. Check what’s wrong with her."

"Yes, I will go right now!"

The subordinate responded immediately.

Nan Batian then looked at the door and back at the braised pork on the table, his expression gradually becoming more somber...

Why would she retch?
