Chapter 698: Chapter 698: The Secret of the 163rd Shennong Nine Style (4)

For a moment, the four Great Elders and Nie Shan felt their backs soaked with cold sweat, their bodies as if drained of all strength.

Indeed, Ming Yuan had been watched over by them since he was a child, as had every single Medicine Sect disciple, raised under their care. For these orphans, the four Great Elders, Nie Shan, and Ye Chenghong all felt a strong familial affection. One could say that the Medicine Sect was a large family with numerous members, mostly good, kind, and united—especially since the event that occurred two decades ago, when the Sect began focusing even more on the disciples’ moral education.

Therefore, a direct disciple like Ming Yuan was like a grandson to Ye Chenghong and the four Great Elders.

So when their "grandson" was injured, poisoned, and on the brink of death, how could they not be anxious, how could they not be distressed? These past days, the elders had been burning the midnight oil, delving into the Medicine Sect’s secret techniques and Medical Arts, hoping to find enlightenment and treatment methods to save Ming Yuan in time.

But though the history of the Medicine Sect was long, in terms of experience, expertise, and knowledge, it couldn’t compare to Shennong Shi, the Ancient Great God. So, in the end, it was An Yiqing who brought Ming Yuan back from the brink.

However, it cannot be denied that without the full commitment of Ye Chenghong, the four Great Elders, and Nie Shan, Ming Yuan absolutely could not have lasted until the day An Yiqing concocted the antidote.

Therefore, there’s a saying that goes, "A family with an elder is like a treasure." Indeed, Ye Chenghong and the four Great Elders were the true treasures of the Medicine Sect!

Now that the toxins in Ming Yuan’s body had been completely removed, Ye Chenghong and the others could relax. After confirming he was no longer in danger, the elders shared a sumptuous lunch with An Yiqing, a splendid meal.

This meal was the most relaxed and delicious one they had in these days and marked the happiest day for the entire Medicine Sect.

Because their Big Brother, Ming Yuan, had been saved!

About two hours later, the Medicine Sect disciples relayed the news: Ming Yuan had awakened!

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenghong and the four Great Elders hurriedly got up and quickly made their way to the treatment room. An Yiqing watched the elders’ agitated behavior, shook her head with a smile, her eyes full of warmth and amusement.

In the treatment room, the previously dark bed sheets had been replaced, and now Ming Yuan lay on a brand-new hospital bed, propped up against the headboard, weakly looking towards the door.

When Ye Chenghong, the four Great Elders, and Nie Shan appeared at the doorway, a faint smile surfaced on Ming Yuan’s pale face, adding a touch of color to his otherwise bloodless complexion.

"Master, Sect Leader Uncle, all... all my Eldest Uncles... I’ve troubled you all this time," Ming Yuan said weakly, while attempting to struggle to sit up, but his current frailty prevented him from doing so.

Seeing Ming Yuan trying to sit up, Ye Chenghong and the others hurriedly reached out to hold him down.

"Ming Yuan, what are you doing? Lie down right now. We don’t need such formalities between us," Ye Chenghong gently held him down, then carefully pulled the blanket up over him.

Looking at Ye Chenghong’s affectionate face, and then turning to see the concerned and approving expressions of the four Great Elders and Nie Shan, Ming Yuan’s eyes gradually reddened, with unshed tears glistening.

"Master, all my Eldest Uncles, Sect Leader Uncle, thanks to everyone for the hard work these days. I heard everything from the junior brother. Qing, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I might now be reporting to the Hall of Yama King," Ming Yuan turned his head to look at An Yiqing, who stood behind Ye Chenghong, and spoke with gratitude.

"Big Brother, what thanks? This is what I should do," An Yiqing gently shook her head, laughing softly, "You’ve always been so nice to me. Every time I come back to the Medicine Sect, you always make me delicious food. If you weren’t here, who would I pester?"

Hearing An Yiqing’s playful jest, Ye Chenghong and the others couldn’t help but let out a warm laugh.

"You mischievous girl, always thinking about eating," Ye Chenghong’s eyes smiled as he feigned a stern look at An Yiqing, chiding her affectionately, "I wonder how you bullied your elder brother Ming Yuan before. With his honest nature, how could he ever get the better of you, little fox?"

"Master, that’s not right of you to say. I was raised by you, everything I do is completely in your image. If I’m a little fox, wouldn’t that make you the Old Fox?" An Yiqing blinked her eyes mischievously, smiling cheerfully.

Hearing this, Ye Chenghong was left speechless, his face flushed red, staring at An Yiqing with eyes wide, unable to utter a word.

Watching the interesting exchange between Ye Chenghong and his disciple An Yiqing, the four Great Elders and Nie Shan couldn’t help but shake their heads with laughter.

"Look here, my Brother, you shouldn’t take Girl Qing too seriously. She’s right; she’s the little fox, and you’re the Old Fox, aren’t you?" Nie Shan, with his hands casually in his trouser pockets, chuckled mischievously, "My Brother, when our Master was alive, I remember him saying you were a cunning and astute little fox. Now look at you, the little fox has grown up into the Old Fox and even raised another little fox. Wow, looks like our Medicine Sect has turned into a fox den, eh? Ha ha!"

Nie Shan’s words caught everyone off guard, creating a sudden silence in the treatment room for a few seconds before erupting into roaring laughter.

The normally stoic and composed four Great Elders burst into hearty laughter, their faces flushed with mirth.

"You cheeky kid, itching for a beating, aren’t you?" Ye Chenghong glared at Nie Shan, finding himself at a loss with this brother he had grown up with.
