Chapter 196: A Gift of Fortune

Only Yun Yi knew that Qiao Shaoshan invited him, not just because of his remarkable Alchemical Technique, but also because of the fire poison in Qiao Shaoshan’s body.

By openly inviting him in front of so many people, Qiao Shaoshan was showing respect and making a statement.

Qiao Shaoshan and Leng Ji left first, and the other powerful groups also followed, returning to their homes looking dirty and tired.

For Xuanzhou State and the eight other powerful factions, this trip to Peace Villa was a huge blow to them.

They had arrived full of energy and confidence, but the outcome was so different from what they had imagined. What truly upset them was that these famous geniuses were completely overshadowed by a young boy from the innate realm.

Now, the only thing the major factions still looked forward to was tomorrow’s auction.

It was well-known that each year’s Qiao Shaoshan birthday celebration had the auction as its highlight. Peace Villa was rich in resources and collected all kinds of rare treasures from the world every year. The auction at Peace Villa was also the largest auction in Xuanzhou State and Xianzhou State, without exception.

On the way, Yun Yi followed Xiao Ruoshui with a smile and said, “Young Miss, I did quite well this time, right?”

“You should quickly go find Sister Leng and show your best.”

Xiao Ruoshui didn’t even look at Yun Yi and replied coldly.

Uh…

Yun Yi was confused. How could this woman turn on him so quickly? After bringing such prestige to the Yanwu family and helping them build connections with Qiao Shaoshan, shouldn’t she be complimenting him with a smile?

What does “so cold” mean?

“Quack, the young lady is jealous again.”

Black Wind covered her mouth with her paw, but her laughter could not be hidden.

Xiao Ruoshui turned her head and glared at Black Wind. Black Wind quickly closed her mouth, afraid to speak again; it was better not to provoke a woman at times like this.

Yun Yi shrugged and gave Xiao Ruoshui a cheeky smile.

“Alright, when we see Master Qiao later, don’t forget your manners. If the Yanwu family can really build a relationship with the Mystic Hand Pill Lord, I will remember your great contribution when I go back.”

Xiao Ruoshui said.

“Don’t worry, young lady, I will definitely not let the Yanwu family lose face.”

Yun Yi promised.

……

When Yun Yi arrived with Black Wind, Qiao Shaoshan and Leng Ji were already waiting here.

“Young Master Yun, as we discussed before, you have obtained the Ice Heart Saliva. Now, shouldn’t you treat your adoptive father’s injuries?”

Leng Ji spoke directly.

“Sister Leng, don’t worry. I, Yun Yi, always keep my promises.”

Yun Yi smiled; he was not someone who liked to owe favors. Now that he had the Ice Heart Saliva, he would do his utmost to help Qiao Shaoshan clear the fire poison from his body.

“How will Brother Yun help me remove the fire poison?”

Qiao Shaoshan asked, his tone a bit serious. He knew better than anyone how stubborn and difficult the fire poison was to remove. Even if Yun Yi had methods, fully clearing the fire poison would not be an easy task.

“Master Qiao, please have a seat while I check the state of the fire poison.”

Yun Yi said.

“Okay.”

Qiao Shaoshan sat down in the chair and stretched out his arm.

Yun Yi sat on the other side, raised his finger, and placed it on Qiao Shaoshan’s wrist pulse.

“If Master Qiao trusts me, then let go of your defenses completely,” Yun Yi said.

“Okay.”

Qiao Shaoshan did not hesitate at all and allowed Yun Yi’s spiritual power to flow through his veins and enter his body.

Letting someone else’s spiritual power roam freely inside oneself is a very dangerous action; if Yun Yi had bad intentions, it would be disastrous for Qiao Shaoshan.

But at this moment, Qiao Shaoshan had no other choice but to trust Yun Yi.

Because besides trusting Yun Yi, Qiao Shaoshan had no other options; he was already out of paths to take.

Moreover, he believed that Yun Yi at least wouldn’t harm him; after all, hurting him would bring Yun Yi no benefits.

Yun Yi’s spiritual power flowed like clear streams, seeping into Qiao Shaoshan’s body, and soon discovered traces of fire poison all over him.

Inside his organs and meridians, the fire poison had already begun to spread. Although Qiao Shaoshan tried to suppress it with Crane Spirit Fire, the fire poison itself was formed from accumulated resentment of the Crane Spirit, so relying on Crane Spirit Fire to suppress it was already impossible; it could no longer be controlled.

The root of the fire poison had even attacked Qiao Shaoshan’s heart, and if it was not eliminated soon, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The entire great hall was incredibly quiet, and Leng Ji stared intently at Yun Yi and Qiao Shaoshan, filled with worry.

A few minutes later, Yun Yi raised his arm; he completely understood Qiao Shaoshan’s symptoms.

“How is it?” Leng Ji quickly asked, and Qiao Shaoshan looked at Yun Yi with great concern.

“The fire poison has attacked your heart, invading your organs and channels, and has reached a point where it cannot be controlled,” Yun Yi said honestly.

“You are right; the fire poison inside me is completely uncontrollable,” Qiao Shaoshan shook his head and sighed sadly. Years ago, one wrong thought led to today’s suffering; it could be said that he brought this pain upon himself.

“Young Master Yun, please save my adoptive father,” Leng Ji deeply bowed to Yun Yi, believing that he must have a way.

“Sister Leng, there is no need for formalities; I will do my best,” Yun Yi quickly replied. “Although the fire poison is serious, it is not impossible for me to remove it.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Shaoshan’s eyes could not help but shine again.

“Master Qiao, have you heard of the Red Lotus Karma Fire?” Yun Yi asked.

“The King of All Flames, the Supreme Fire, the legendary Red Lotus Karma Fire, passed down from ancient times. As a Medicine Pill Master, how could I not know? However, this fire from heaven and earth has always only existed in legends, and I have never seen it,” Qiao Shaoshan’s eyes were filled with passion. When he mentioned the Red Lotus Karma Fire, he seemed very excited. For a Medicine Pill Master like him, even having the chance to see such a king of flames once in a lifetime would be worthwhile.

“Master Qiao, today I, Yun Yi, will grant you a great gift. I will use the Red Lotus Karma Fire to enter your body and completely clear away the fire poison. Your body, your organs, and your meridians will also be refined by the Red Lotus Karma Fire, causing a tremendous change in your physical condition, which will greatly benefit your future cultivation.”

Yun Yi’s aura surged as he spoke. Since he would use the Red Lotus Karma Fire to help Qiao Shaoshan, he did not need to hide the fact that he possessed it.

Furthermore, Qiao Shaoshan had already seen him use the Red Lotus Karma Fire twice before, and with his keen eyes, it was not difficult for him to recognize the uniqueness of the flames.
