ore saying so.“Who are you brothers It looks like you’re here to deliberately embarrass us!” This young man who was clearly their leader then walked a few steps closer to Xiao Yu after the women left....Chapter 265: Detoxification

Xiao Yu was also very curious about how Zhang Dahan got poisoned. He didn't expect there to still be corpse poison here; in modern society, most people are cremated after death, making it extremely difficult for corpse poison to form.

"Ah, Third Brother, don't ask about this matter. It's better not to know some things!" Zhang Dahan sighed and said.

Zhang Dahan didn't want an ordinary person like Xiao Yu to know about such special events. Even if he knew these matters, it would only increase his fear without any other benefits, given how bizarre these incidents were.

"Alright, then I won't ask. But where did you get injured" Seeing Zhang Dahan unwilling to talk about it, Xiao Yu didn't press him and asked instead.

"Well... this can be told to you. Mainly as a warning, avoid that place in the future! That place is too dangerous; our mission location was where that car accident happened last time!"

Hearing Xiao Yu's question, Zhang Dahan thought for a moment and decided to tell him about the incident site. As long as he knew it was dangerous, they would try to avoid going there in the future.

"Oh."

Xiao Yu responded calmly with his face expressionless, but inside, waves of turmoil surged within him. That place indeed wasn't simple; clearly, that wave of ominous energy from last time wasn't unfounded.

Xiao Yu took a deep breath to calm himself down. Now was not the time to think about this matter; treating Zhang Dahan and his team properly was the priority.

From his medical kit, Xiao Yu retrieved the dagger and the wooden box containing the five-decade ginseng.

Af ter preparing everything, he fetched a basin. He moved Zhang Dahan so that his injured shoulder faced the basin, opened the wooden box to take out the ginseng, bit into it, chewed it up, and swallowed it. As soon as warmth rose in his stomach, Xiao Yu pulled out the dagger.

The moment the dagger left its sheath, a cold light flashed. Zhang Dahan, lying naked on the ground, felt all his body hair stand on end; goosebumps broke out on his scalp. A wild and ferocious aura of killing intent enveloped the room as if it were tangible, lowering the room's temperature abruptly.

The originally prostrate Zhang Dahan suddenly sat up straight, sweat pouring from his face in a dense web over the layer of black energy.

"Lie down and stay still!" Seeing Zhang Dahan sit up, Xiao Yu quickly pushed him back down and said.

Zhang Dahan lay on the bed, his face showing shock as he looked at Xiao Yu's dagger. This dagger gave him a very dangerous feeling, and the tangible煞氣 (malevolent aura) and殺氣 (killing intent) made his heart tremble.

'How many people does one have to kill to create such a凶器 (cursed weapon)' Zhang Dahan thought silently in his mind.

"T-Third Brother, this dagger... "

Zhang Dahan swallowed and looked at the dagger, saying in a trembling voice. This dagger gave Zhang Dahan a huge shock; he had never seen a weapon that could make him feel fear.

Who was he He was an Army King! The title of Army King wasn't just for show, but was earned through brutal life-and-death tests and training, making their willpower extremely resolute. Moreover, his internal energy cultivation had already reached the peak of Ming Jing (Manifestation) stage; this dagger could still make him feel fear, showing how凶殘 (fierce) it was.

Actually, it wasn't just this reason. He was now deeply poisoned, both physically and mentally weak, so he naturally couldn't resist the凶煞之氣 (malevolent aura) and殺氣 (killing intent), especially with the sudden appearance of the dagger, which greatly affected his mental state.

If he were in a normal state, even if this dagger had dense凶煞之氣 (malevolent aura) and殺氣 (killing intent), it wouldn't make him feel fear.

"Haha... This is my great-grandfather's遺物 (heirloom)!" Seeing Zhang Dahan's reaction, Xiao Yu laughed softly.

Regarding his great-grandfather's dagger, he didn't know its origin. Such a凶器 (cursed weapon), even searching through Zhong Kui's memories, in the world before the heavenly tribulation, he hardly ever saw such weapons. In the cultivation world, only a few demon path weapons had such煞氣 (malevolent aura).

Zhang Dahan nodded and didn't speak any more, slowly closing his eyes. The sudden shock just now used up all his strength.

Seeing Zhang Dahan close his eyes, Xiao Yu stopped talking and picked up the dagger to cut at the wound on his shoulder gradually.

With each cut from Xiao Yu's dagger, deep wounds that could see the bone appeared on Zhang Dahan's shoulder, with a stream of black blood with an unpleasant smell flowing out.

"Come in..." Xiao Yu called out to someone outside the door.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but secretly sigh. He had already forgotten that he could only see the world in grayscale now; even if Zhang Dahan's shoulder bled red, he wouldn't be able to see it. Although his keen senses could detect such changes, they couldn't afford any mistakes with their current injuries. Therefore, reluctantly, he had to call for another person.

"Here!" Just as Xiao Yu called out, a voice responded from the door.

The sound at the door was followed by someone pushing it open. A doctor entered and walked to Xiao Yu, saluting him and saying, "Captain Hong Guanglei reporting for duty! Please give your instructions!"

"Keep watch; as soon as his shoulder starts bleeding red blood, let me know immediately!" Xiao Yu nodded and said.

"Yes sir!" After speaking, Hong Guanglei focused intently on Zhang Dahan's shoulder.

Xiao Yu stood up, sat by the bed, and began practicing the righteous energy technique while continuously manipulating the golden needles. As Xiao Yu moved his fingers, the tiny traces of righteous energy in his body entered Zhang Dahan’s through the needles.

Rather than being just a type of energy, righteous energy was anathema to all things that were evil or yin in nature; while the corpse poison was toxic, it originated from dead matter and thus belonged to the realm of yin and evil.

Xiao Yu’s body had only recently begun replenishing its righteous energy, so he had eaten a ginseng root beforehand. Each time a little bit of his righteous energy entered Zhang Dahan's body, a corresponding amount of medicinal power from the ginseng was released.

This didn’t mean that eating ginseng could increase one’s righteous energy; if it did, then Xiao Yu wouldn’t have to do anything but eat ginseng all day. Why would he bother with cultivation

Xiao Yu now had a deficiency of righteous energy in his body and thus was able to replenish himself by eating some ginseng. But this was merely like trying to catch the moon from within a mirror or plucking flowers seen on water; if Xiao Yu didn’t transmit his righteous energy into Zhang Dahan, no amount of ginseng would be sufficient for him.

It was akin to someone who is very weak being able to eat supplements to nourish themselves. But once they are fully recovered, can they continue eating and grow stronger Clearly not; they must exercise gradually to enhance their physical condition. If it were possible to do so, then people would just eat supplements all day long and there wouldn’t be any need for cultivators.

As Xiao Yu’s righteous energy was transmitted into Zhang Dahan’s body, the black qi on his body quickly retreated toward the wound.

When the black qi started retreating from Zhang Dahan's arm, dark blood with a pungent stench began to flow out of it, causing the room to immediately be filled with an acrid and toxic odor.

"He’s swallowed it!"

Xiao Yu saw that Hong Guanglei had also been affected by the toxic smell as a faint black aura appeared on his face. He thus took out a detoxifying pill he had made from the medical kit and gave it to Hong Guanglei.

"It's turning red, it’s turning red..."

After all the black qi had retreated from Zhang Dahan's body, Hong Guanglei started shouting.

When Xiao Yu heard what Hong Guanglei said, he immediately stopped twirling the golden needles. He glanced at Zhang Dahai; at this moment, there was only a faint trace of black qi on his body and face, barely noticeable if one wasn’t careful. Xiao Yu knew that these were lingering toxins in Zhang Dahai's body. Once the medicine was bought back, they could be eliminated.

"Thank you, Third Brother!"

Zhang Dahai opened his eyes and felt much lighter, knowing that a significant amount of poison had been expelled from his body.

“Heh heh, Big Brother, why should we be so formal with each other” Xiao Yu chuckled as he replied.

Zhang Dahai nodded but said nothing; however, in his heart, he felt increasingly grateful. Since meeting Xiao Yu, Zhang Dahai had never helped him, whereas Xiao Yu had saved him twice.

“Anyone who dares to hurt my brother must step over my dead body!” Zhang Dahai silently swore to himself.

"Big Brother, eat this!" Xiao Yu cut off a piece of ginseng and handed it to Zhang Dahai.

"What's this" Zhang Dahai asked as he took the item from Xiao Yu.

“Wild mountain ginseng!” Xiao Yu casually replied. After saying that, he called Hong Guanglei over and walked towards another patient.

Zhang Dahai looked at the ginseng placed on the table by Xiao Yu. This piece of ginseng already had human-like characteristics, so even without knowledge about ginseng, Zhang Dahai knew it was extraordinary.

Zhang Dahai gave a grateful look to Xiao Yu and chewed up the ginseng before swallowing it. Soon after, he felt warmth rising in his stomach, realizing that this must be the power of the ginseng. Upon feeling such potent medicinal energy, Zhang Dahai reaffirmed how extraordinary the ginseng was.

Zhang Dahai sat cross-legged and adjusted his breathing to absorb the ginseng’s medicinal power; with each inhalation and exhalation, this warm energy circulated through his body.

Xiao Yu followed a similar procedure for these people in sequence, expelling their toxins before taking a bite of ginseng. Even with the aid of the ginseng, Xiao Yu felt extremely mentally exhausted.

As Xiao Yu continued to detoxify them one by one, they gradually woke up; due to excessive blood loss from detoxification, he gave each person a slice of ginseng. These people had practiced some form of hard qigong and were physically robust, so Xiao Yu wasn’t concerned about their bodies being too weak for nourishment.

The man with the Heaven-Earth primordial energy within him woke up as soon as Xiao Yu started detoxifying him. According to Xiao Yu's speculation, this person must have known he was poisoned and practiced a certain technique that made him fall into deep sleep, slowing down the toxic gas’s erosion of his internal organs until someone disturbed him.rage door by the entrance opened, a black Audi came out, and the driver was precisely that elder who had just been around.This elder noticed something unusual about Tang Shouyi when he first arrived a...
