The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 417: Chapter 184: Second Entry into the Martial World (Part 4)_3

”Just when this happened, her father became seriously ill, and the Ghost Doctor was invited to their home as an ordinary Itinerant World doctor.”

”He Yutian immediately noticed something extraordinary about the Ghost Doctor. Desiring to get close, she struck up a conversation and learned about the ’Itinerant World’ from him!”

”Her heart stirred! She wanted to be someone capable, just like the Ghost Doctor... Hehe, even when the Ghost Doctor told her that he didn’t need any more disciples or maids, only a Medicine Man to test his concoctions, He Yutian insisted on following him!”

Perhaps, at that time, He Yutian didn’t know what a Medicine Man was.

Nor did she understand the immense pain she would have to endure after becoming a Medicine Man.

But the Ghost Doctor didn’t deceive her; it was all her own choice.

Student Xiao D:...

It was completely speechless!

”Whatever! Do what you will! I just hope you don’t neglect the mission!”

After Student Xiao D said these dejected words, he went off to the corner to draw circles.

With Student Xiao D’s chatter gone, He Tiantian finally had some peace.

The medicine on the little red clay stove was simmering fiercely.

Calculated the time, He Tiantian poured the medicinal juice into a bowl, let it cool slightly, then downed it in one gulp.

After drinking the medicine, He Tiantian sat cross-legged and began practicing the Junior Master Uncle’s Wuji Technique.

The exquisite True Cultivation Skills, combined with the Detoxification Medicine blended by He Tiantian, sent a warm current washing through her internal organs and extraordinary meridians.

Years earlier, taken by the Ghost Doctor to serve as a Medicine Man, her original body had been filled with various toxins.

Under the care of the Ghost Doctor, these toxins reached a bizarre balance where although her blood was poisonous, it did not kill her, the person He Yutian.

The detoxification medicine which He Tiantian had formulated disrupted that balance, beginning to expel the various virulent toxins from her body.

Fortunately, protected by the Wuji Technique, she did not perish from the poison exploding within her.

After practicing the technique through several Circulations, He Tiantian took a silver needle she had found in the medicine house and quickly pricked her fingertips several times.

Pitch-black, viscous blood oozed out along with a pungent odor, flowing through the tiny needle holes.

He Tiantian continued to stimulate her Inner Strength, constantly cleansing her meridians, maximizing the efficacy of the Detoxification Soup Medicine!

A full half hour passed before the blood emerging from He Tiantian’s fingertips gradually turned a fresh red, at which point she ceased her efforts.

Before her had gathered a small pool of black, foul-smelling liquid.

He Tiantian checked her pulse again and found that the residual poison had been completely cleared.

Though this body was somewhat damaged, it was slowly healing.

”Huuh!”

He Tiantian let out a long sigh. Her life was saved!

”Old Witch! Poison Spider, where... where did you go?”

Just then, He Tiantian heard a coquettish, impatient female voice.

Hmm?

Had Chai Ling awakened?

So quickly?!

Indeed, this is the Martial World. Those who train in martial arts are incredibly tough.

Kang Shenxing from my first encounter in the Martial World was like that, and now this little witch Chai Ling is no exception.

Chai Ling’s voice reminded He Tiantian: she still had a score to settle with Chai Ling.

He Tiantian stood up and walked out of the medicine house at a measured pace.

Just by chance, she ran squarely into Chai Ling, who was searching everywhere for the ”Old Witch.”

”Old Witch, what...what exactly did you do to me?”

”I’ll have you know, those Poisonous Insects I procured for you were carefully bred by the Sai Yan King himself, each one immensely toxic!”

Seeing He Tiantian’s good complexion and condition, Chai Ling was utterly astonished, and couldn’t help but tentatively say,

He Tiantian grinned, the wounds on her face had only received rudimentary treatment and were neither bandaged nor healed.

The haphazard slash marks, combined with the black and green medicinal paste, made her appear even more terrifying!

Chai Ling involuntarily stepped back.

Seeing this, He Tiantian’s smile grew even brighter, ”I know. How many days have you spent in Ghost Doctor Valley? I’ve been here for nearly ten years.”

”Them snakes, scorpions, centipedes, some of them I even helped the Ghost Doctor to raise. I’m far more aware of how dominant their toxins are than you are!”

Chai Ling was quite perplexed, ”Then why aren’t you poisoned?”

He Tiantian laughed again, ”Who said I wasn’t poisoned? I was indeed poisoned!”

”They bit and gnawed my flesh wildly, and I could almost feel the venom, following my blood into my extraordinary meridians, and eventually, even invading my Dantian!”

As she mentioned the Dantian, He Tiantian suddenly raised a hand!

Splat!

Just like special effects from a television show, what came from He Tiantian herself, who seemed possessed by Zhuang Juxian (that’s You Tanzhi, by the way), was a puff of white poison gas sprayed from her sleeve.

The poison gas hit the bluestone floor, and lo and behold, the solid floor was directly corroded away, crumbling into fragments with crackling noises.
