urant, it wasn't even 4:30 PM yet; Xiao Yu couldn’t help but ask curiously.“Well…… Well…… Brother Xiao Yu, tonight’s banquet has been canceled and moved to tomorrow evening. Let's go then!” Jin Xiu Zh...Chapter 266: Eliminating the Lingering Poison
Hearing this man's exclamation, those soldiers looked at Xiao Yu with gratitude. They knew that even a small piece like what they had consumed was worth tens of thousands! Yet Xiao Yu hadn't hesitated to let them eat it.
"Very well... I definitely consider you my brother from now on. If there's anything difficult in the future, come find me! Remember, no matter what kind of thing it is, as long as I can do it, I won't hesitate!"
The man looked at Xiao Yu with admiration and said this to him, his face showing pride and confidence.
Xiao Yu glanced at the man's expression and smiled without speaking.
"Report! The herbs have been bought back. The large vats are also ready!" A soldier came to the door and saluted respectfully as he spoke.
“Mm.” Xiao Yu nodded in response, then turned to Hong Guanglei and said: "Doctor Hong, find a place to dig a two-meter-deep pit to bury these poisonous blood samples."
Xiao Yu gave his instructions to Hong Guanglei. Then he went to the soldier at the door and said, “Come on, take me to see it!”
"Yes!"
The soldier saluted Xiao Yu respectfully.
This soldier was also from Section 13; now that his comrades had woken up, he felt immense gratitude towards Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu followed the soldiers to the courtyard where eight large vats were already prepared. He walked over and nodded in satisfaction—the size of these vats was just right.
"Find something to support these vats and fill them halfway with water for boiling."
Xiao Yu gave instructions; being a military camp, it shouldn't be too difficult to find such items here.
The soldiers around him immediately dispersed upon hearing his orders to look for the necessary equipment.
About half an hour later, they returned with iron stands and chains used to hoist up the vats. Some had also brought dry firewood.
Before long, the fire was burning. Xiao Yu divided the herbs they had bought into eight portions and placed them in large barrels.
Every ten minutes, Xiao Yu would check the water temperature. When it reached sixty degrees Celsius, he instructed the soldiers, “Carry them out!”
"Yes sir!"
A few soldiers responded and rushed inside. Soon they emerged carrying Zhang Dahan and the others.
“Place them in there! Only their heads should be exposed,” Xiao Yu said while sitting pale-faced on a stone beside the playground. After such a long period of running around, Xiao Yu’s mental state had reached its limit.
Xiao Yu now felt dizzy and did not want to move. He could only direct the soldiers in their work.
As he watched these bustling soldiers, Xiao Yu secretly wondered what was going on How come all of Unit Thirteen’s personnel were ordinary soldiers At most they had practiced some hard qigong.
In Deep Sea Thirteenth Unit until now, Xiao Yu had only seen one internal energy expert, Zhang Dahan, and a young cultivator. Could it be that these two people were the only experts in the entire Deep Sea region Their strength seemed too weak!
Actually, to say that Deep Sea Thirteenth Unit’s capabilities are weak would be more accurately described as Xiao Yu having high expectations. In fact, this place was already quite well-off; many other places didn’t even have such a configuration.
This young cultivator had been assigned because of Zhang Dahan’s master’s influence. In other cities or provinces, simply assigning an internal energy expert would be considered excellent, and those internal energy experts were far inferior to Zhang Dahan in strength.
Generally speaking, when Unit Thirteen encounters difficulties, it can seek help from local aristocratic families and hermits because they all live within the country and usually lend a hand.
In the entire nation, how many people like Master Zhang or Li Shiqing could there be Therefore, most of Deep Sea’s personnel were ordinary soldiers. However, these soldiers’ skills were quite high; they were chosen as elites from among the elite by each military district’s special forces units.
Don’t underestimate these individuals—when they work together, even Li Shiqing would have a hard time dealing with them. They could handle most extraordinary events, but this surprise attack had caught them off guard and resulted in significant losses.
If not for their shoulder-fired rocket launcher firepower being compromised, how could such serious injuries occur Even when handling supernatural incidents, having these robust warriors around would deter any ghost or monster from getting close. And with that young cultivator among the team as well...
“Pay attention to the temperature—don’t let it get too high or too low; maintain this level,”
Dragging his tired body forward, Xiao Yu felt around for the water’s warmth and estimated it was about seventy degrees Celsius. He then instructed one of the soldiers watching over the fire.
Though the water temperature was only seventy degrees, it wasn't tolerable for an ordinary person. Therefore, when Xiang Dahai and his team were put in, apart from Xiang Dahai and that Qimen cultivator, everyone else let out a painful scream; even Xiang Dahai's expression was one of pain.
The Qimen cultivator didn't shout but had a pained look on their face as they operated their cultivation techniques to absorb the ginseng’s medicinal power and resist the heat from the water in the cauldron.
"Big Brother, don’t circulate your internal energy; otherwise, you won't be able to absorb the medicine's potency and can't eliminate any residual toxins within your organs!"
Upon seeing Xiang Dahai and that Qimen cultivator resisting with their cultivation techniques, Xiao Yu told Xiang Dahai this. In reality, he was also reminding the young cultivator.
When Xiang Dahai heard Xiao Yu's words, he stopped circulating his internal energy. The boiling hot water continued to hit him in waves; although Xiang Dahai had a pained look on his face, not a sound escaped from his mouth.
A miserable scream was then heard coming from the other side. It turned out that after hearing Xiao Yu's words, the Qimen cultivator stopped resisting but ended up being scalded by the hot water and let out a shrill cry; although this person was a Qimen cultivator, their physical condition clearly wasn't as good as those of these soldiers.
After some time, Xiang Dahai and his team slowly got used to the temperature of the medicinal water.
Sitting on that stone, Xiao Yu kept directing these soldiers to add dry wood or reduce it to regulate the temperature of the medicinal water.
An hour later, Xiao Yu walked over and had them extend their wrists so he could take their pulses. When he found out all residual toxins in their organs had been thoroughly eliminated, Xiao Yu instructed the soldiers below to put out the fire under the cauldron before rescuing those inside.
"Take them for a shower and dress their wounds!" After saying this, Xiao Yu turned back and gave Hong Guanglei an order.
Xiao Yu watched as Xiang Dahai and his team had their injuries bandaged up. Although Xiang Dahai and these soldiers were rather weak, they looked very well spiritually; with this, Xiao Yu could finally relax a little.
"Big Brother, you guys rest while I take some rest!" Since Xiao Yu was now enduring dizziness, once he saw that Xiang Dahai and his team were fine, he quickly said this.
"Little Hong, find a quiet room for Doctor Xiao to rest in."
Xiang Dahai gave an order to Hong Guanglei. Originally, Xiao Yu wanted to go back to the clinic to rest but ended up abandoning that idea because he felt too dizzy; it was better for him to take some rest here.
Hong Guanglei led Xiao Yu to a room in the corner of the second floor. Without looking at the layout of this room, Xiao Yu headed straight to bed and fell asleep groggily.
When Xiao Yu next opened his eyes, he was still feeling rather dizzy. At this time, it had already gotten dark outside; after checking his phone, it turned out that it was now past five in the afternoon. It turned out that he had slept for over fourteen hours straight!
Xiao Yu gently massaged several acupoints on his head, and after a while, Xiao Yu's mind gradually became clearer.
Xiao Yu got up from the bed and went to the water pipe by the wall, washing his face with cold water. The shock of the cold water brought him back to full alertness before he opened the door and walked out.
"Sir, you're awake! The Company Commander said that when you woke up, you should come over!"
When Xiao Yu came to the door, a soldier was on guard outside his room. Upon seeing him, the soldier saluted and informed him.
"Alright, lead the way." With a pale face, Xiao Yu managed a smile and responded.
Xiao Yu followed the soldier to the canteen. Zhang Dahan had already regained enough strength from practicing his internal energy to be up and about, sitting at one of the tables with two soldiers standing behind him.
"Third Brother, you're awake! Are you hungry Come eat!"
As soon as Xiao Yu entered under the soldier's guidance, Zhang Dahan hurriedly stood up to greet him.
Only after Zhang Dahan said "eat" did Xiao Yu realize how hungry he was. Since yesterday evening until now, he hadn't eaten anything at all; so upon hearing Zhang Dahan's words, without further ado, he sat down.
"Bring the food!"
Zhang Dahan called out inside. Shortly after, two soldiers came out of the kitchen carrying large bowls.
Seeing it was a communal dish from the big pot, Xiao Yu didn't hesitate to eat. Why were these communal dishes so precious Because they contained herbs with tonifying properties. That's why many high-ranking officials often frequented them.
Generally speaking, even tonic medicines tend to be bitter; yet this communal dish not only surpassed common tonics in efficacy but also tasted delicious. Thus, it became a regular source of replenishment for these high-ranking officials.
After eating, Xiao Yu did not linger and before leaving told Zhang Dahan that his comrades and himself didn't need medicine anymore; the communal dishes would suffice as they were primarily deficient and needed tonics, and these communal dishes had milder properties than ordinary medicines which suited their extremely weakened state.
Zhang Dahan instructed a soldier to drive Xiao Yu back.
Inside Wan Sheng Hall, there were several people waiting for medical treatment; all elderly. Through their conversation, Xiao Yu learned that these elders had been informed about his clinic through the initial charity clinics by other seniors on the first day. They knew treatments here not only saved money but also required only a few doses of medicine to recover. Therefore, any minor ailment would prompt them to visit. atmosphere surrounding Xiao Yu, they would find that his demeanor gave off a sense of inexplicable solemnity and righteousness."Doctor Xiao, nice to meet you! I’m Yuan Chao. Please instruct me whenev...
