Annie's poison was extrely troubleso, and the only way to purge the toxins from her body was to use Spiritual Fire, but this required a level of fire control that was exceedingly exquisite. Any slight carelessness could lead to self-immolation, not only failing to save the person but also turning them into charred remains.
Although the dangers were imnse, if Lin Chen did not take action, then Annie might die. So, it was better to go all out and fight for a glimr of hope.
Lin Chen gently propped up Annie on the bed, and from her facial features alone, it was clear that she must have been a beautiful girl before the incident. But now, tornted by the virus, she no longer resembled a human being, her eye sockets were deeply sunken, and her appearance was even sowhat terrifying.
Stabilizing his mind, Lin Chen placed his hand on Annie's shoulder, and a flash of light flickered in his palm.
The clothes on Annie's body instantly turned to ash.
Lin Chen had already inford Miao Shan of the treatnt thod. Although it was a taboo in the Miao family for a young girl to have her body seen by a strange man, it was, after all, to save a life, and besides Miao Shan and Lin Chen, no one else would know. Ultimately, what good are taboos if a person is not alive to uphold them!
Looking at Annie's body, which was as thin as skin and bones, Lin Chen frowned.
"How could such a pretty girl be tornted by poison to this extent? What kind of poison has Annie contracted?"
The green wood elent continuously repaired Annie's injured areas, while the golden flas incessantly scorched the toxins inside her body.
Although Lin Chen had lowered the fla's temperature to the lowest possible, Annie's face still displayed an expression of pain.
With the help of his penetrating vision, Lin Chen could clearly see that Annie's bones had turned black and even her veins were covered with the black toxin.
Lin Chen cautiously brought the Purple Fla Golden Fire close to the bones and veins that had been tainted by the poison.
In order to purge the toxins, Lin Chen had no choice but to keep raising the temperature of the flas, and at the sa ti, the pain on Annie's face grew more and more intense.
"Ah!"
Accompanied by a cry of agony, Annie's eyes, which had been tightly shut, suddenly flew open, and she clenched her fists so hard that she even let out a sound of pain.
Outside the door, listening to Annie's pained cries, many people trembled in their hearts, and a few young mbers of the Miao family even wanted to rush into the room.
"All of you, be quiet and do not disturb Mr. Lin in treating her," Miao Shan said coldly, puffing on his smoking pipe.
Though Miao Shan had not seen it with his own eyes, he had already felt that the vitality within Annie was growing stronger, aning that Lin Chen's treatnt was having an effect.
Annie opened her eyes and was shocked to see herself naked.
"Don't move, steady your mind. I'm in the process of expelling the poison from your body," Lin Chen said earnestly.
Hearing the voice behind her, Annie's face turned red, and she nodded lightly.
Lin Chen was drenched in sweat; such treatnt consud a vast amount of Spiritual Energy and was extrely taxing ntally.
That's because Lin Chen had to be wholly imrsed in the treatnt, controlling the flas, and any slight misstep could result in Annie being burned to a crisp.
What surprised Lin Chen was that Annie was indeed a strong girl. The pain from the fla's sear was even more unbearable than bone scraping therapy, yet she managed to endure it all along.
By now, Annie's face was soaked in sweat, and her hands had even torn through the sheets.
Sweat also beaded on Lin Chen's face as he tirelessly worked the Purple Fla Golden Fire to drive out the poison from Annie.
Strands of black, viscous poison oozed out slowly from Annie's pores under the roasting of Lin Chen's flas.
An unpleasant, foul odor filled the room.
As ti passed, color slowly returned to Annie's face, and the toxins inside her began to disappear bit by bit.
However, at this mont Annie's body was completely drenched in sweat, and she had reached her limit.
At last, Lin Chen had cleared the last wisp of poison and finally took a deep breath.
The green energy elent continually nourished Ani's body.
At that mont, Ani's originally shriveled skin had surprisingly beco elastic again, and her complexion turned rosy as well.
Lin Chen finally withdrew his palm, now completely drenched as well.
It must be understood that during these three hours, Lin Chen had been controlling the Spiritual Fire to expel the poison, his spiritual power constantly on the brink. If it weren't for his recent breakthrough, his forr cultivation level would have been insufficient to withstand the strain.
Lin Chen stood up and placed a cover over Ani, "Wait here for a mont, I'll have soone co in to clean you up."
As Lin Chen left the room and opened the door, Miao Shan hurriedly ca to greet him.
"Mr. Lin, how is Ani?"
Lin Chen smiled and nodded, "I've managed to fulfill my duty! However, Ani's body is covered with residual venom that needs to be washed off imdiately."
"Good, good!" Miao Shan nodded and hurriedly ordered soone to wash Ani's body.
Miao Shan ushered Lin Chen to a seat and presented him with a cup of fine dicinal tea, saying with a smile, "Mr. Lin, I never expected soone of your young age to be so capable; it truly is admirable."
Lin Chen smiled, "Elder Miao is too kind; I only happened to know of a thod that could treat Ani's condition. But Elder Miao, what kind of snake bit Ani? This poison was incredibly potent?"
Miao Shan shook his head, "When we found Ani, she was already unconscious, but there were traces of a snake bite on her calf."
Lin Chen frowned and said, "Elder Miao, Ani might not have been bitten by a snake; the venom in her body isn't from any snake, but it seems like soone poisoned her."
"What?" Miao Shan's face changed abruptly upon hearing Lin Chen's words.
At that mont, Ani walked into the room.
"Ani!" Seeing Ani, Mu Ling excitedly ran over and hugged her tightly.
"I'm so glad you're okay. I'm not going anywhere this ti, I don't care about the position of Family Head or anything to do with the Mu family; I just want you," Mu Ling said affectionately.
Ani's cheeks flushed red, "You scoundrel, with so many people here, you're embarrassing ."
Seeing their happy expressions, Miao Shan also let out a sigh of relief.
The Gu poison in Mu Ling's body had been cured by Miao Shan while waiting outside just now; after all, Ani had already forgiven him, it was Ani's last request, and Miao Shan couldn't possibly refuse.
"I'm so relieved you're okay, Ani," said Miao Shan excitedly.
Ani threw herself into Miao Shan's arms, "Grandfather, it's all my fault for making you use your essence blood to cure ."
"What!" upon hearing Ani's words, Lin Chen's expression changed.
"Elder Miao, have you been using your essence blood to treat Ani all this ti?" Lin Chen asked anxiously.
Miao Shan nodded, "I'm just old bones, not much ti left for
anyway; using my essence blood to save my granddaughter's life is worth it."
Indeed, giving one's essence blood to another can save their life, but the damage to oneself is extrely severe.
Lin Chen could already sense that the long duration of expending essence blood had caused Miao Shan's strength to drop several levels; that is to say, Miao Shan was now rely at the Innate Realm.
"Elder Miao, the target might not be Ani but you. They were probably after you," Lin Chen said, his eyes narrowing as he spoke coldly.
