Chapter 568: Chapter 568: Old Times (4)

At this moment, she was circulating her vital energy, examining Ming Yuan’s body with her clairvoyant eye.

Although this mutated Green Frost was terribly harmful to martial cultivators who circulated their Inner Breath, it did not pose a poisoning risk to An Yiqing because the facilities had been thoroughly disinfected, and the vital energy she circulated was not the Inner Breath of a martial cultivator.

Through her clairvoyant eye, An Yiqing meticulously checked every part of Ming Yuan’s body.

At present, all of Ming Yuan’s bodily functions had ceased, and around his heart, a circle was slowly turning purple-black – the toxin of the mutated Green Frost. If this purple-black spread over the entire heart, reaching its deepest part, then Ming Yuan would breathe his last.

Thanks to the treatment by Ye Chenghong and the four elders, the toxicity of the Green Frost had been initially suppressed. However, even if the spreading of the toxin had slowed, if a cure was not found within a month, Ming Yuan would die.

An Yiqing was rather anxious. Over the years, she had devoted herself to researching ways to treat and heal people. While her knowledge of poisons was superior to others, she felt helpless in the short term against such a rare hundred-year poison.

With a heavy sigh, taking advantage of Nie Shan stepping out to fetch water, An Yiqing took out a Heaven Mountain Snow Lotus from the Ancient Space to administer to Ming Yuan.

The Heaven Mountain Snow Lotus had excellent detoxifying effects.

Although the poison of the Green Frost had not been removed, An Yiqing, with her keen eyes, noticed that after taking the Heaven Mountain Snow Lotus, the purplish black around Ming Yuan’s heart diminished ever so slightly.

This discovery greatly surprised An Yiqing. While Nie Shan was still out, she took out several more Heaven Mountain Snow Lotuses from the space and squeezed their juice for Ming Yuan to ingest.

Gradually, the juice of the snow lotus seeped into Ming Yuan’s body, and within moments, the dense blackness around his heart had noticeably lightened.

Although the Heaven Mountain Snow Lotus had some effect, An Yiqing realized that it could only relieve the spread of the toxin but could not detoxify it entirely. After Ming Yuan’s body absorbed a certain amount of the snow lotus juice, the toxin stopped lessening.

Nevertheless, to slow down the progression for a while was still better than letting it spread continuously. An Yiqing let out a small sigh of relief and planned to look up ancient medical texts left by Shennong in the Ancient Space after returning home.

Soon after, Ye Chenghong’s junior martial brother Nie Shan returned from fetching water.

"Xiao Qing, have some water. You rushed over here without even taking a breather," he said as he picked up a clean cup from the desk, poured a glass of boiled water, and handed it to An Yiqing.

"Thank you, Junior Uncle," An Yiqing said politely as she took the cup and sipped lightly, softly asking, "Junior Uncle, how was big brother discovered by everyone? What was he doing when he went out?"

"Someone asked your big brother to see them for a medical consultation before New Year’s Day. Today, since Ming Yuan had some free time, he went. Who knew such a thing would happen? When we found him, he had already collapsed at the entrance of the Medicine Sect, poisoned. What exactly happened on the road, none of us know. Alas! Although Ming Yuan is young, he is quite skilled. Why would he be poisoned?" Nie Shan lamented, anxiously pulling at his hair.

"Don’t worry, Junior Uncle. I will investigate this matter. Just pass me the information of the person big brother went to consult for, and I’ll check if there’s anything suspicious about him," An Yiqing reassured softly.

"Alright, but girl, you must be careful. We aren’t with you, so when you step out on affairs, it’s best to bring General Gu with you. His strength is formidable, enough to ensure your safety," Nie Shan advised repeatedly with concern.

An Yiqing nodded obediently.

After leaving the Medicine Sect, An Yiqing went to Yuyuanzhai.

All throughout the journey, she felt somewhat distracted, always sensing that Ye Chenghong and the elders seemed to be hiding something from her.

An Yiqing had also asked Ye Chenghong about the person who sought to harm Ming Yuan but was always sidestepped. She wouldn’t believe it if there wasn’t something fishy going on.

What kind of grudge does the possessor of Green Frost have with the Medicine Sect? Why could they have access to the forbidden techniques recorded in the Medicine Sect antiquarian?

Could it be that this person...

With a fleeting look in her eyes, An Yiqing seemed to have an inkling of the answer.

Yuyuanzhai would resume business after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and currently, only Zhang Yusheng was in the shop.

Hua Yun had been busy for several months, and An Yiqing had given her leave to go home. Although young, this girl was a straightforward and hardworking lass. Ever since she was promoted to store manager, Zhang Yusheng had not had to worry about the affairs of Xuandu City’s several major branches. An Yiqing was very satisfied and intended to promote Hua Yun.

Inside the Yuyuanzhai store, as An Yiqing entered through the back door, Zhang Yusheng was meticulously wiping the showcase with a rag while standing on a ladder.

"Brother Yusheng, what are you doing? Come down, it’s too dangerous. The shop is cleaned by professionals, you don’t have to work over the holiday," An Yiqing said quickly as she approached.

Zhang Yusheng, hearing the voice, startled and looked down from the ladder.

"Miss? What brings you here?" he hurried down, deftly climbing off the ladder. He put the rag in the bucket, wiped off his sweat, and asked, "The shop has had no one for the past few days, just a bit dusty. Since I had nothing else to do, I thought why not do some work, get some exercise. But Miss, what about you? It’s only the fifth day of the New Year, why aren’t you at home with the old master and the others?"

"Something came up at the Medicine Sect, and I was called over. The Yuyuanzhai exhibition is coming up, and since I didn’t have much else on my hands, I thought I’d come over to discuss it with you," An Yiqing said as she helped Zhang Yusheng finish tidying up.

The two discussed the details of the upcoming Yuyuanzhai exhibition. They became so engrossed that they lost track of time and inadvertently worked until past seven in the evening.

At this time, An Yiqing was unaware that a dramatic scene was unfolding within the An Family Villa.
