Chapter 606: Acupuncture Detoxification

"Brother Cen, how can I let you go alone? I’ll go with you."

Da Shan spoke without hesitation, his parents wanted to stop him but held back.

"No need, if I encounter that person, I have a way to escape quickly. If you come with me, it would only distract me."

"This time I plan to collect more herbs and boil them into medicine while they are fresh. The leftover medicine from today will be stored at the bottom of the well; it should last for two more days, so we won’t have to go up the mountain every day."

Yang Cheng had thought it through. Although he wasn’t a match for Lai Zhongyao, with the Snake Shedding Skill, it wouldn’t be easy for the opponent to capture him.

However, he planned to leave the village in half a month, and Lai Zhongyao would certainly not let it go. He would most likely ambush near Hidden Cloud Village, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

If that old man doesn’t die, the villagers’ lives would be at risk, and if Yun Chan falls into his hands again, who knows what horrors she might face.

"Brother Cen, that’s a great idea! Since I can’t accompany you up the mountain, I’ll be at the foot to support you."

Da Shan said cheerily.

At this time, Yun Chan brought the conversation back, saying, "Yang Cheng, you mentioned teaching everyone to make medicine, it’s a good idea since there are so many herbs piled up in the village. Why not start today?"

"Even if it doesn’t work out, it’s alright. These herbs aren’t being sold anyway; practicing will do everyone good."

"Don’t worry, with my hands-on teaching, failure is not an option."

Yang Cheng’s tone was filled with certainty, his face full of confidence.

The atmosphere at the table immediately livened up again, with everyone standing up to toast Yang Cheng.

"Little Divine Doctor, there’s no rush in learning to make medicine. First, help us detoxify; otherwise, my wife will kick me out of the house."

Wang Kui said with a look of grievance.

As soon as the words fell, a plump woman in her thirties rushed over and slapped him on the back.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Making Little Divine Doctor laugh."

"I’m sorry, wife, once the toxins in my body are cleared, I’ll make sure to behave well."

As soon as he said this, everyone burst into laughter, teasing him one after another.

After the wedding feast ended, Yang Cheng went back to catch up on sleep. He only went up the mountain once the hottest time of the afternoon had passed, carrying two large baskets.

He moved quickly, yet lightly on his feet, constantly observing his surroundings.

Yesterday while escaping, Lai Zhongyao’s angry shout still echoed in his ears, causing him to sweat nervously. Even the slightest rustle around him would alert him.

Soon, both baskets were filled. Yang Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, not daring to delay, and hurriedly descended the mountain.

With yesterday’s experience, the villagers didn’t need Yang Cheng’s instructions to start boiling the medicine.

Da Shan knew Yang Cheng hadn’t been sleeping well for the past two days and was injured yesterday, worrying that his health might suffer. He took the baskets from Yang Cheng and urged, "Brother Cen, you quickly go rest; leave this to me. Once the medicine is boiled, I’ll make sure everyone drinks a bowl, and the rest will be stored."

"Alright, I appreciate your effort. Wake me up before dark; I still have to do acupuncture for everyone."

Yang Cheng was indeed a bit tired, though physically he felt nothing, the constant tension was exhausting.

Lying in bed, his mind kept thinking about Lai Zhongyao, whose strength was in the Golden Core Realm, while he was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, direct confrontation was impossible.

Moreover, the Poison Control Skill was ineffective against him. Could he only hide from him?

Then Yang Cheng suddenly thought of the Ninefold Heaven-Burning Fist, of which he had only learned one move. In an attack, Lai Zhongyao easily dissipated his strength in a blink.

If he could learn more techniques, maybe he could stand a chance. Anyway, he had decided to eliminate this menace for Yun Chan before leaving Hidden Cloud Village.

As he pondered, Yang Cheng drifted into sleep. Upon waking, he heard knocking at the door.

"Brother Cen, everyone is here for acupuncture, wake up quickly!"

"Coming!"

Yang Cheng replied, rubbing his eyes as he walked out.

Acupuncture detoxification was child’s play for him, just a few needles on a person, using True Qi to expel toxins.

However, too many men in the village had consumed Hehuan Grass. Realizing it was almost dark, he had no choice but to store the Silver Needles.

"That’s it for today, the rest come to Da Shan’s House tomorrow morning. Remember to abstain for a month; if you fail, it’ll all be for nothing, and lifelong happiness will slip away."

Though the consequences weren’t as severe as he made them sound, he wanted to ensure better recoveries, so he deliberately frightened them.

The men nodded repeatedly, for the sake of future happiness, abstaining for a month was a small price. They didn’t hope to be as vigorous as Yang Cheng, even ten percent of his prowess would be enough.

...

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed, arriving at the sixth day.

Yang Cheng sat at the table, swiftly writing prescriptions and various notes on paper.

He taught the method of making medicine step by step, with Da Shan and Wang Kui learning the best. Yet he worried something might be missed, so he wrote it down.

"Da Shan, this is the prescription, keep it safe. In the future, if any issues arise during medicine-making, refer to this prescription."

Da Shan’s eyes lit up. He hurriedly wiped his hands on his clothes, then cautiously received it, as if he had obtained a rare treasure.

"I understand, Brother Cen."

"Let’s go, let’s check how everyone’s doing at the village entrance."

Yang Cheng patted his shoulder, the two walked side by side towards the village entrance, where they encountered Yue Ying.

Now fully recovered from her injuries, with rosy cheeks and gained a little weight, she looked even more beautiful, making Yang Cheng and Da Shan momentarily dazed.

"Yue Ying, is there any issue with tomorrow’s wedding feast? Feel free to bring it up, I’ll do my best to cater to your wishes."

Da Shan hurried close, staring intently at her.

"No problems at all, everything is perfect. But I’m not here for you; I wanted a word with Little Divine Doctor."

Yue Ying smiled slightly, making the surrounding flowers lose their brilliance.

She walked straight to Yang Cheng, with a touch of shyness on her face. Ever since the wedding date was set, she had been eagerly looking forward to this day.

Finally, on the day of her Enlightenment, she woke up early to put on makeup, wearing her most beautiful dress, and stood before Yang Cheng.

"Alright, go ahead."

Da Shan nodded, but showed no intention of leaving.

Yue Ying glanced at him and said, pursing her lips, "I want to talk to Little Divine Doctor alone, could you leave us for a moment?"

"Oh, okay."

He paused, then turned towards the village entrance, only to accidentally trip and fall, struggling to get up, revealing a simpleton smile, and ran off blushing.

Seeing this, Yang Cheng shook his head speechlessly.

Look at how this buddy’s been bewitched into a fool by Yue Ying!
