Chapter 188: Balance of Yin and Yang

Sima Wei regained her senses, and her first reaction was to touch her face. When she realized her black scarf had been removed, her expression drastically changed.

"I'll kill you!"

A flash of light appeared in her hand, and a short dagger fiercely stabbed towards Ye Bufan's chest.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Ye Bufan easily dodged the dagger, but Sima Wei showed no intention of stopping. With a flick of her wrist, the short dagger again slashed towards his throat.

"Are you not done yet?"

Ye Bufan reached out and grabbed Sima Wei's wrist, knocked away the short dagger, then twisted her arm behind her back and pressed her onto a nearby long bench.

"Are you crazy? I just saved you, why are you attacking me with a knife the moment you wake up?"

Sima Wei said coldly, "You can save me, but who told you to remove my face covering?"

Ye Bufan said, "You were poisoned just now. I needed to expel the toxic blood. How could you vomit blood without removing your face covering? Do you think I wanted to look at you?"

Sima Wei angrily said, "But you still saw me!"

Ye Bufan said, "I'm a doctor. This was to treat your illness. What's wrong with seeing you for a moment?"

He really couldn't understand why this woman reacted so strongly. Although her face with the beard was a bit unsightly, it wasn't enough to make her try to kill him the moment she woke up, right?

Sima Wei snorted coldly without speaking. Ye Bufan said, "I'll let you go, but no more fighting or killing this time."

After speaking, he released her hand and stepped back two paces, maintaining a safe distance between them.

Sima Wei turned around, looked at him with a complex expression, and said, "I still want to kill you?"

Ye Bufan angrily said, "Are you out of your mind? I saved you, alright?"

Sima Wei said, "If you don't want me to kill you, there's a condition. I once swore that anyone who removes my face covering must either marry me or be killed by me. Choose one."

"I…"

Thinking of marrying such a Big Beard beauty, Ye Bufan instantly shivered with fright. Was he not allowed to live?

He instinctively said, "Then you'd better kill me."

A cold glint flashed in Sima Wei's eyes, and she was about to act. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Stop! No… no, that's not what I meant. I'm a doctor, and your condition can be treated."

"What? You said my condition can be treated?"

Sima Wei was originally intent on fighting to the death, but now she stopped.

"Of course. Although your condition is a bit troublesome, it can still be treated in the end."

Sima Wei said, "Are you trying to trick me?"

After contracting this illness, she had seen countless experts and famous doctors, but no one could cure it.

"I'm not tricking you." Ye Bufan said, "If I'm not mistaken, your condition is entirely a side effect of cultivating an unsuitable Cultivation Technique."

Sima Wei's expression changed drastically, "How did you know?"

"I told you I'm a doctor. Naturally, I could tell." Ye Bufan said, "The Cultivation Technique you are currently cultivating is a Yang-attribute Cultivation Technique. Although the Cultivation Technique is good, it's fundamentally unsuitable for women to Cultivate. The more you Cultivate, the more Yang Qi you accumulate.

When you Broke Through the Yellow Rank Bottleneck, your voice started to deepen. After Breaking Through to the Profound Rank a few days ago, your entire body began to grow black hair.

These are all reactions to excessive Yang Qi overpowering Yin Qi, leading to an endocrine imbalance."

Hearing him speak in such detail, Sima Wei became excited. She reached out and grabbed Ye Bufan's arm, her expression agitated, and asked, "Can you really cure it?"

She was originally a very beautiful woman, but she accidentally obtained a Cultivation Technique called the 'Reversion to Origin Heart Sutra' and began to Cultivate it.

At first, her cultivation improved very quickly, and she was very happy. But after her cultivation Broke Through to the Yellow Rank, her voice began to get deeper and deeper, and she sounded more and more like a man.

Even so, Sima Wei did not give up. She thought that as long as her cultivation became more profound, it would be fine.

So she continued to Cultivate until her cultivation Broke Through the Profound Rank Bottleneck. Not only did her voice not improve at all, but the hair on her body suddenly became extremely dense.

At this point, she completely panicked. She first covered herself with a face covering, then searched everywhere for a cure.

Unfortunately, for this kind of special case, neither Chinese nor Western medicine was able to help.

In despair, she secretly swore that anyone who dared to see her true face would either be killed by her or forced to marry her.

Ye Bufan said, "I told you I can cure it. Your situation is caused by an imbalance of Yin and Yang. As long as a new balance is established, it will be fine."

He spoke with great confidence when he said this. He possessed the Legacy of the Ancient Medical Sect, and he had just cured Gao Daqiang.

Gao Daqiang's symptoms were different from Sima Wei's, but their nature was the same: an imbalance of Yin and Yang Qi and blood in the body.

The difference was that Gao Daqiang was a man, so he didn't have the same extreme reaction as Sima Wei.

Since it was the same illness, the same treatment method should be used. He reached out his hand, and a crystal-clear Medicinal Pill, the Xuan Yin Pill, appeared in his palm.

(End of this chapter, please turn the page)

Sima Wei took the Medicinal Pill and asked doubtfully, "What is this?"

"This is called the Xuan Yin Pill. It can increase the Yin Qi in your body, balance the excessive Yang Qi. Once Yin and Yang are balanced, it can not only cure your strange illness but also allow your cultivation to advance further."

Sima Wei asked again, "Is it really that miraculous? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Ye Bufan glanced at her and said, "Lying to you? What do you think I'd lie to you about? Money or lust?

Money? This Medicinal Pill of mine is priceless. Even if you sold yourself, you wouldn't be worth that much.

Lust? Do you think that's necessary? My tastes aren't that extreme."

"This…"

Sima Wei thought about it and realized he was right. If Ye Bufan wanted to harbor ill intentions towards her, given his skill, she wouldn't be able to resist him at all, so there was no need to make it so complicated.

Ye Bufan said, "Now sit cross-legged, take the Medicinal Pill, and I'll help you dissolve the medicinal power. You'll recover very quickly."

Sima Wei no longer hesitated. She sat down as Ye Bufan instructed and then swallowed the Medicinal Pill.

After the Medicinal Pill entered her mouth, a cool sensation quickly rose from her Dantian. This feeling made her incredibly comfortable.

Ye Bufan extended two fingers and pressed them on Sima Wei's Dantian, using his Chaotic True Qi to help her catalyze the medicinal power of the Xuan Yin Pill.

The Yin Qi contained within the Xuan Yin Pill gradually released, slowly balancing the Yang Qi in her body.

As time passed little by little, a miraculous scene occurred: the Yin and Yang in Sima Wei's body returned to balance.

Her originally dense beard began to rapidly fall off, revealing skin as white as congealed fat.

Ye Bufan saw all of this clearly, and he was surprised to find that without the beard, Sima Wei was incredibly beautiful, her appearance no less than Gu Qingcheng or Qin Chuchu.

It was a good thing he helped her cure this strange illness; otherwise, such a great beauty would have been wasted.

He sighed with emotion, but then his expression became serious again.

Because he discovered that at this moment, less than half of the Xuan Yin Pill's efficacy had been unleashed. It was still continuously releasing Yin Qi, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

This was troublesome. The Yang Qi in Sima Wei's body had already been completely neutralized. The Yin Qi being released now had no way to be vented.

At this moment, her body became increasingly cold, her face grew paler and paler, and she even began to shiver.
