Chapter 97
Curing Fire Poison
Yang Jingshen looked into Li Yunfan's eyes and nodded emphatically.
"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, I never go back on my word!"
Li Yunfan then smiled slightly, walked around behind Yang Jingshen again, sat down cross-legged, and whispered a reminder.
"You have been poisoned by fire for too long, and some of it has already invaded your internal organs. I will soon infuse my spiritual fire into your body to devour the fire poison. During this time, you will suffer intense burning pain. I hope you, Fellow Daoist Yang, will persevere and not try to resist with your cultivation techniques. Otherwise, your internal organs may be burned to ashes by the spiritual fire, and even I will be powerless to help you then!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Jingshen took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and said in a deep voice.
"Fellow Daoist, please feel free to attack; I will certainly exercise restraint!"
Li Yunfan said "good," then made a hand seal with both hands, raised his right hand, and a ball of purple flame immediately emerged from his palm. He then clenched his hands, bent his ten fingers, and his spiritual power shot out from his hands, swirling around the Purple Nether Heart Flame and compressing it into a small purple ball the size of a pill.
Immediately, Li Yunfan raised his hand and struck Yang Jingshen on the back, sending the purple ball into his body. Then, he closed his eyes and his vast divine sense invaded Yang's body, gathering around the ball and slowly dissolving the spiritual energy surrounding it.
At this moment, Yang Jingshen felt a certain spot on his back gradually starting to heat up, and becoming increasingly hot, as if that piece of flesh was about to be cooked.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, get ready!"
As Li Yunfan gave a soft shout, Yang Jingshen's expression hardened, and he immediately gritted his teeth, preparing to endure the pain of being burned by the spiritual fire.
However, even though he was prepared, when the spiritual fire spread throughout his body and began to devour the fire poison, the intense burning sensation that suddenly came from his lungs still made him groan, and his expression began to distort!
Li Yunfan also frowned deeply, his expression solemn. He was fully activating his divine sense, not only to control the power of the Purple Nether Heart Fire, but also to devour the fire poison spreading in the opponent's body without harming their internal organs.
If the fire poison has only been infiltrated for a short time and has not spread too deeply, Li Yunfan will not need to exert much effort to control the Purple Nether Heart Fire to devour the fire poison.
However, the opponent's fire poison has already invaded their lungs and internal organs for many days and is deeply rooted. It will not be so simple to devour it with the Purple Nether Heart Fire.
Before long, fine beads of sweat appeared on Li Yunfan's forehead, indicating that he had exerted a lot of energy. Yang Jingshen, on the other hand, was sweating profusely, with sweat constantly streaming down his contorted face, soaking a large area of the ground below.
Strangely, only his face was sweating, while there was no sweat seeping out below his neck. However, the skin on his chest and back turned bright red, as if it had been dyed with red paint.
Time passed slowly, and the Yang family members waiting outside the stone house were already filled with anxiety. Even Yang Taizhong couldn't help but show a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Father, can that senior really cure Second Brother's fire poison?" Yang Jingchen asked with a furrowed brow and deep concern.
Upon hearing this, Yang Taizhong did not reply, but continued to stare intently at the stone house door, waiting for the good news he had been hoping for.
"Third Uncle, I believe in that senior; he can definitely heal Father's injuries!" Yang Qingqi said with great certainty.
Actually, she didn't know why she trusted Li Yunfan so much, but deep down there was always a voice telling her that Li Yunfan could definitely cure her father!
This wasn't blind trust, but rather because after her hopes for the spiritual fruit were dashed, Li Yunfan gave her a new hope. And because she had personally witnessed Li Yunfan's strength, she subconsciously developed an inexplicable sense of trust in him.
Yang Jingchen glanced at his eldest niece, and could only sigh helplessly before continuing to wait with the others.
"Sister, do you really trust that person that much?" Yang Qinghan frowned slightly, tugged at Yang Qingqi's sleeve, and said with a strange expression.
Yang Qingqi turned to look at her younger sister, and just as she was about to say something, she heard a hearty laugh coming from inside the stone house. She was very familiar with the voice and said with a look of surprise.
"It's my father!"
Just as she finished speaking, a violent surge of spiritual energy suddenly spread outward from the stone house, catching everyone off guard. They were all forced to take several steps back before they could work together to create a protective shield and block the impact of the spiritual energy.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, you should control your spiritual power to avoid accidentally harming your family."
Just as Yang Taizhong and the others managed to withstand the spiritual energy attack, they heard Li Yunfan's calm voice. Immediately afterward, an even stronger surge of spiritual energy emanated from the stone house and caught up with the previous surge of spiritual energy at an extremely fast speed, forcefully stopping it in place.
However, the spiritual energy behind them did not have any impact on the Yang family members, as if it deliberately avoided them.
"It was my oversight. I had been tormented by this fire poison for far too long. Now that it has been completely eradicated, I cannot contain my joy and excitement, which is why I have expressed it. I must also thank you, fellow Daoist, for stopping me. Otherwise, my Yang family disciples would probably have suffered."
As soon as Yang Jingshen finished speaking, he and Li Yunfan simultaneously withdrew their released spiritual power, and the area outside the stone house returned to calm.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yunfan left the stone house accompanied by Yang Jingshen.
The brothers Yang Taizhong and Yang Jinglong, along with the sisters Yang Qingqi, were all overjoyed to see Yang Jingshen's face return to normal, his smile on his face, and him walking towards them with ease.
"Jing Shen, has the fire poison in your body really been removed?" Yang Taizhong asked incredulously.
"Haha, Father is right, Fellow Daoist Li has completely removed the fire poison from my body!" Yang Jingshen laughed and admitted.
Upon hearing this, the brothers Yang Jinglong and Yang Jingchen were overjoyed and quickly bowed to thank Li Yunfan.
"Thank you so much for saving us, senior. The Yang family will always remember this kindness and will be eternally grateful."
Upon hearing this, Li Yunfan simply smiled slightly, then turned to Yang Jingshen and said.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, I expended considerable energy expelling the fire poison. I imagine you, having just recovered from your illness, must also be quite tired. How about we set off again tomorrow?"
"Alright, we'll do as you arrange. Qingqi, since you invited Fellow Daoist Li, you'll represent the Yang family and escort him to his guest room to rest!"
Yang Jingshen did indeed need to recuperate properly at that moment, so he nodded in agreement. He then gave instructions to his eldest daughter, Yang Qingqi.
Although Yang Taizhong and the others didn't understand what Li Yunfan meant by "departure," none of them asked questions, only showing slight doubt in their expressions. They also didn't object to the arrangement of Yang Qingqi receiving the other party; in fact, they quite agreed to it.
"Ah...yes, Father!" Yang Qingqi exclaimed in surprise at first, then quickly recovered and said respectfully.
