"As long as we force the cold energy out of his body, then use Vermilion Immortal Grass to refine an elixir to warm him up, and give him a good nourishment to repair his internal organs, he should be fine," Dugu Qianye said.

After listening to Dugu Qianye’s words, those who had previously felt some hope once again lowered their heads.

"The methods proposed by the young friend won’t work. First, no one can touch the cold energy, and secondly, the elixir made from Vermilion Immortal Grass is a level 8 elixir. Master Meng, who is most capable, couldn’t be invited, and no one else can refine this elixir," Huo Qi explained to Dugu Qianye.

Dugu Qianye looked around the room and said to Huo Qi, "May I speak to you alone?"

Huo Qi, having lived for hundreds of years, was astute and immediately understood Dugu Qianye’s intention, which suggested she had a way! He did not know why Dugu Qianye had appeared at the Huo Family residence at this time, but he was sure her arrival would bring a miracle to the Huo Family!

"Everyone, please go back first. Standing here won’t wake the Family Head," Huo Qi said to the elders after coming to this realization.

Although they wanted to know what method Dugu Qianye would use to save the Family Head, since Huo Qi, the physician, had spoken, they obediently left, leaving only Huo Yi, Huo Wu, and the Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder behind.

When everyone had left, Huo Qi asked Dugu Qianye, "Does the young friend have a method?"

Dugu Qianye nodded and said, "I have a way to save Elder Huo, but I need you not to spread word of my involvement. If it causes me trouble..."

"Don’t worry, young friend. We will absolutely not reveal your affairs. If we can’t do that, I am willing to go to Endless Hell." Before Dugu Qianye could finish, Huo Qi swore. With the end of his words, a streak of silver light entered his chest.

"Grandfather Qi." Huo Wu and Huo Yi were astonished, not expecting Huo Qi to make such a pledge for Huo Yutian.

"Uh, I didn’t ask you to swear," Dugu Qianye said, touching her nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Hehe, no harm done. Can the young friend start treating the Family Head now? Or do the others need to take oaths too?" Huo Qi said with a smile.

"Uh, that won’t be necessary. I’ll first force the cold energy out of her body," said Dugu Qianye, then she turned and returned to Huo Yutian’s bedside, grabbing his arm with one hand and supporting his back with the other to help him sit up.

Huo Yi and the others wanted to help, but Dugu Qianye stopped them. She was not harmed by the cold energy because of the Ice Heart inside her; with it, all the cold energies in the world must submit. Moreover, she also had the Phoenix Golden Flame inside her. Huo Yi and the others wouldn’t be able to do it; without protection, they would be frostbitten upon merely touching Huo Yutian’s body.

After Dugu Qianye helped Huo Yutian to sit up properly, she sat opposite him, then took his hands in hers, palm to palm. She transmitted her own Ice Heart Qi into Huo Yutian’s body, starting from their hands and bit by bit, forced out the cold energy within him. As the cold energy was expelled, the temperature in the room dropped several degrees. And the more cold energy that was forced out, the temperature continued to plummet until even ice started forming on the bed curtains.

Huo Yutian couldn’t help but shiver as the Ice Heart Qi entered his body. Although his body had been eroded by the cold energy of Hantan, Dugu Qianye’s Ice Heart Qi was even more intense, and the Qi from Hantan was gradually driven out by the Ice Heart Qi.

Half an hour, to those present, felt like half a year. When Dugu Qianye retracted the Ice Heart Qi from Huo Yutian’s body, his body, which had been enveloped in ice for days, finally "saw daylight" again.

"It’s done," Dugu Qianye said after getting off the bed, helping Huo Yutian to lie back down, and then addressing the anxiously waiting people by the bed.

"Done?" Huo Qi quickly stepped forward to touch Huo Yutian. Although it was still very cold, it was no longer piercingly so. After a careful examination, he found that the cold energy inside him had truly dissipated.

"It’s really done! Thank you, young friend!" Huo Qi said excitedly, then stepped back and bowed to Dugu Qianye.

When Huo Yi and Huo Wu heard Huo Qi say it was done, they took his word for it and also bowed to Dugu Qianye in thanks.

Dugu Qianye did not expect this reaction and quickly stepped forward to gently support Huo Qi, saying, "Please, don’t do this, I have only forced the cold energy out of his body. He’s not truly healed yet. If he isn’t warmed up within half a month, he will still be in danger... and his body has been badly frostbitten; we must refine the Vermilion Immortal Grass into an elixir as quickly as possible, otherwise, even if he is cured, it will affect his strength."

"Young friend, you’ve resolved the most critical issue. I was still doubting your strength before, which is truly embarrassing," Huo Qi said.

Huo Wu stepped forward, took Dugu Qianye’s hand, and said, "I felt the same, and if there were any shortcomings earlier, please bear with them."

Dugu Qianye smiled, indicating he didn’t mind.

"What should we do now? Master Meng is unwilling to concoct elixirs for the Family Head, and with such pressing time, where can we find an eighth-level Alchemist?" the Great Elder asked.

"If only I had broken through to the eighth level, it wouldn’t have come to this," Huo Qi said with a mix of shame and guilt.

"Could it be that we’ve come this far and still cannot save the Family Head?" the third elder asked.

"Grandfather..." Huo Wu thought, as tears threatened to fall from her eyes again.

"Whatever the case, we must hurry to find an eighth-level Alchemist," the second elder said.

Huo Yi also wore a face of sorrow. Seeing their expressions left Dugu Qianye somewhat speechless; she had said she would save him, and she intended to treat him through and through! However, nobody could understand her, could they? Her age was too deceptive, indeed.

"Well," Dugu Qianye began, "perhaps, I could give it a try."

Dugu Qianye’s words once again captured everyone’s attention.

"Qianye, you know how to perform alchemy?" Huo Yi asked.

Dugu Qianye nodded in confirmation.

"What level of elixir can you concoct?" Huo Qi asked.

"Level eight, with an eighty percent success rate," Dugu Qianye replied. In truth, it was one hundred percent, but to keep from startling everyone, she added this. But she overlooked the explosive nature of her initial statement, so everyone was still shocked out of their wits by her words.

"E-eight level, Qianye, you never mentioned you could perform alchemy, let alone being an eighth-level Alchemist!" Huo Yi said, feigning indignation.

"You never asked me!" Dugu Qianye replied.

"Young friend, can you concoct elixirs for the Family Head right now?" the Great Elder asked.

Dugu Qianye shook her head.

"Why not? If you can cure the Family Head, we of the Huo Family will surely repay you handsomely," Huo Qi said.

"It’s not because of that," Dugu Qianye replied, "it’s because I can’t use Phantom Power right now, so I can’t form elixirs."

"Phantom Power? Young friend, do you come from a lower realm?" everyone asked in surprise, except for Huo Yi and the second elder.
