Chapter 1721: Fire Poison Disease

As the two spoke, a hint of almost imperceptible tension flickered across Liu Meiniang's face, and at the same time, her right hand moved slightly, clutching her clothes tightly.

"It's right to believe, don't you agree, City Lord's Wife?"

Ye Bufan seemed to sense something. He smiled slightly at Liu Meiniang, then reached out and, with a 'thud', pulled off a jade pendant from Zhai Tianfang's waist.

This jade pendant was about the size of a child's palm, entirely emerald green, and clearly not an ordinary item.

Everyone present was startled. No one expected Ye Bufan to snatch away the jade pendant. What was he trying to do?

Liu Meiniang had the biggest reaction. She immediately shrieked, "You scoundrel, what are you doing? Quickly return the jade pendant to my husband!"

As she yelled, she snatched the jade pendant with astonishing speed, completely unlike her previous gentle demeanor.

"City Lord's Wife, what's the rush?"

Ye Bufan seemed to have anticipated this and dodged the grab with a slight shift of his body.

At this moment, Zhai Gang said with a somber face, "Dr. Ye, if you're not treating my Father, what are you doing?"

"I've already started the treatment."

Ye Bufan said, pointing at Zhai Tianfang. Everyone's gaze followed his finger, gathering back again, and in an instant, they were all dumbfounded with shock.

Zhai Tianfang, who had previously been radiating coldness all over, like an ice sculpture, now had all the coldness on his body completely gone. Instead, a scorching heat radiated from head to toe.

His face was fiery red, like a cooked crab, and the skin on his body was the same.

"This… this… this is fire poison!"

Doctors like Xue Guanghe and Su Dingfang, who were present, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Even those who weren't doctors could tell that Zhai Tianfang had been afflicted by fire poison.

Seeing this, Liu Meiniang gritted her teeth and finally held back from speaking further.

Zhai Lingxiu asked in astonishment, "Dr. Ye, what exactly is going on?"

"First, take a look at this."

Ye Bufan flicked his hand, and the jade pendant flew over.

Zhai Lingxiu reached out and caught it, then her expression changed drastically. Caught off guard, her body was invaded by a biting cold, and fine frost even condensed on her hair tips.

"There's something wrong with this jade pendant!"

She exclaimed, then circulated her True Qi to completely expel the coldness from her body.

Ye Bufan said, "This jade pendant itself is not problematic, but it has been specially treated. An Advanced Formation is carved inside, capable of condensing extremely powerful yin cold Qi.

The City Lord was originally deeply afflicted by fire poison, but it was precisely concealed by the coldness of this jade pendant, leading to all doctors making misdiagnoses. The most direct result was that the more he was treated, the worse he became.

And your previous illness was also due to contracting yin evil Qi from this jade pendant, but your inner fire was relatively strong, and you didn't contract much, so there weren't too obvious symptoms."

Zhai Lingxiu was stunned speechless for a moment; things had completely exceeded her expectations.

"I understand!"

At this moment, Xue Guanghe slapped his head and stomped his foot, exclaiming, "I can't believe that after practicing Medical skill for so many years, I was actually deceived by this small jade pendant."

Not only him, but Su Dingfang and the other doctors were also the same. From beginning to end, their attention had been focused on Zhai Tianfang's illness, neglecting the cause of the illness, never expecting it to be entirely caused by this jade pendant.

After understanding the truth of the matter, Zhai Lingxiu was immediately furious: "Damn it, who put this jade pendant on my Father? Who did this? I'll tear them into a thousand pieces!"

Zhai Gang's expression changed, and he finally stopped his sister: "Don't be anxious yet, treating Father's illness is more important."

Then he looked at Ye Bufan: "Divine Doctor Ye, please treat my Father."

"Don't worry, now that it's clear, the illness will be simple to treat."

Ye Bufan finished speaking and extended his hand. A small black Medicinal Pill appeared in his palm, which was the yin spirit pill formed from the yin evil Qi that had been on Zhai Lingxiu.

This Medicinal Pill is formed by the condensation of yin evil Qi and is most effective in treating fire poison.

Not long after Zhai Tianfang took it, the scorching heat on his body began to subside, and his expression slowly returned to normal.

After only two or three minutes, his breathing became steady, his complexion rosy, and the Qi on his body was neither icy cold nor scorching hot, completely returning to the state a normal person should have.

"Little Divine Doctor's Medical skill is truly divine! He cured such a severe illness so quickly…"

"Divine Doctor, this is a true Divine Doctor! Bringing the dead back to life, miraculously restoring health…"

Everyone present praised him, all impressed by Ye Bufan's Medical skill.

Especially doctors like Xue Guanghe and Su Dingfang, they knew how difficult it was to cure Zhai Tianfang. Even if they had accurately diagnosed the illness, it would probably take them some time to treat it.

Yet, the other party completely eliminated the fire poison with just a small Medicinal Pill. This level of Medical skill is truly astonishing.

As everyone was whispering amongst themselves, Zhai Tianfang slowly opened his eyes. Although his eyes were a bit unfocused and his spirit a bit weak, he had finally regained consciousness.

Zhai Gang and Zhai Lingxiu, the siblings, were immediately overjoyed and surrounded him.

"Father, you're finally awake."

"Father, how do you feel?"

Zhai Tianfang then frowned. Although he had now woken up, his cultivation within his body had weakened too much, and he felt extremely weak all over.

"Don't worry, I'm not dead yet. It's just that my cultivation hasn't recovered."

"Father, this time, it's thanks to Dr. Ye's intervention that you are safe and sound."

In comparison, Zhai Gang was more composed. He quickly calmed his emotions and gratefully said to Ye Bufan, "Dr. Ye, thank you for treating my Father. From now on, you are a great benefactor of our City Lord's Mansion."

In contrast, Zhai Lingxiu was more direct, eagerly asking, "Dr. Ye, what about my Father's cultivation? When can he recover?"

"Xiuer, you're a bit too impatient, girl."

Zhai Tianfang reprimanded his daughter, then gratefully said to Ye Bufan, "Dr. Ye, I thank you for your intervention and treatment."

"It's nothing. I am a doctor, and treating the City Lord is my duty," Ye Bufan said. "Currently, the City Lord has only made a preliminary recovery; further treatment is still needed."

Zhai Gang asked, "Dr. Ye, when do you think my Father's cultivation can recover?"

He was also extremely anxious about this point. After all, Zhai Tianfang was the City Lord of Tianlang City, originally an extremely brave military general. Losing his cultivation would be like losing half his life, and he might not be able to hold his position securely in the future.

"Don't rush this. Before, the Yin and Yang Qi in the City Lord's body were intertwined, damaging his Meridians. This needs to recover slowly; it cannot be rushed."

Ye Bufan said, picking up a pen and paper nearby and writing a prescription, "First, take medicine according to this prescription to nourish yourself. Tomorrow, I will come back to continue treating the City Lord, and by then, most of his cultivation will be able to recover."

In fact, if he exerted his full strength, he could help Zhai Tianfang recover his cultivation now, but 'a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.' Having just arrived in this world, he didn't want to appear too conspicuous.

Moreover, this was his first contact with Zhai Tianfang, and he wasn't clear about the other party's character. If he completely cured him in one go, it would be uncertain whether the other party would still help him find Medicinal materials, or even 'kill the donkey after it has ground the flour.'
