Qin Fang's brows also furrowed as he sensed something amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly was wrong.

Just at that moment, the little mouse that had almost turned belly-up suddenly flipped over, its movements becoming vigorous again, as if it had never been poisoned at all.

"Phew..."

Qin Fang was quite satisfied with this result; the mouse had finally pulled through and appeared quite healthy, suggesting that the toxins had been completely cleared.

This outcome brightened many faces, not just Qin Fang's. Even people like Wu Ming saw hope, and those who had been despondent in the crowd now had shining eyes.

"Alright, now you can take the medicine…"

Qin Fang stood up, rubbing his somewhat sore lower back, and spoke with calm assurance.

"Not continuing with the experiment?"

This time, it was Luo Xi who was unhappy. Grand Elder Wu wasn't just some little mouse,

"There's no need. The pill I just gave the mouse was of lesser quality! The one for Grand Elder Wu is the best I have on hand. If even that doesn't work, then I truly have no other solution... However, considering the results of the experiment just now, I'm quite optimistic!"

The experimental results should have been quite telling already, but Qin Fang no longer felt like continuing. Even the lower-quality Detoxification Pill was still a Detoxification Pill, and he only had a few left; he couldn't afford to waste anymore.

"Good, good, good, hurry up…"

Luo Xi naturally didn't dare to object anymore. Just moments ago, she had been desperately preventing it, but now she was urging him on repeatedly.

As for Luo Xi's reaction, Qin Fang could only roll his eyes helplessly. It was simply too exasperating to comment on.

"First, help Grand Elder Wu up…"

Approaching the bed, Qin Fang immediately instructed, as Wu Ming and Wu Hai gently lifted Grand Elder Wu from either side, careful to avoid aggravating his chest injury.

"Master, both Brother Wu, after Grand Elder Wu takes the medicine, I'd like the three of you to take turns circulating your Inner Breath to catalyze the elixir's power. This will hasten the effects of the Detoxification Pill... However, Grand Elder Wu's body might have a severe reaction, and it could be very painful. I hope everyone can hold on steadfastly and not loosen your grip!"

Qin Fang used the best Detoxification Pill he had, with a quality of 78, crushing it into the bowl of water while instructing Cai Pingyuan, Wu Ming, and Wu Hai. Grand Elder Wu's body was weak and needed this method to force the medicine's power to catalyze.

It might be very painful, but the medicine's power would work fastest this way, and the detoxification effect would be the most potent. He believed it wouldn't be long before there were no issues.

Wu Ming and Wu Hai both seemed hesitant upon hearing this, but in the end, they nodded solemnly. For the sake of their old master's last chance at life, they had no choice but to make this decision.

"Alright, no problem!"

Cai Pingyuan, standing by, also nodded his head, though inwardly he was reluctant.

"Luo Xi, go find a chamber pot... Everyone else leave the room. Once the poison gas releases, those who don't want to be poisoned had better get far away!"

By this time, the Detoxification Pill had already dissolved in the water. Qin Fang suddenly thought of something and urgently ordered Luo Xi, who was closest to him. For the others crowding the entrance, Qin Fang scolded them lightly; they were seriously impeding ventilation.

"I'm on it right now…"

Luo Xi hesitated for only a moment before nodding and heading out to fetch the chamber pot.

As for the others, some of the younger spectators beat a hasty retreat, moving back over a dozen meters, while disciples like Luo Youheng simply stepped outside, ensuring the room was well-ventilated.

Parting Grand Elder Wu's dry, cracked lips, Qin Fang forcefully poured the small bowl of water, infused with the Detoxification Pill's power of quality 78, down Grand Elder Wu's throat, a bit roughly perhaps, but this was the only way to ensure complete and efficient absorption of all the medicine.

Cai Pingyuan was the first to take action. He had decades of Inner Breath cultivation behind him, and his proficiency far surpassed that of the Wu Family Brothers.

As soon as Qin Fang finished pouring the medicine down and closed Grand Elder Wu's lips, Cai Pingyuan immediately started to work, applying a rather strange massage technique that surprisingly allowed Grand Elder Wu, who could have easily choked, to swallow the medicine without any reaction.

Then it was time for Cai Pingyuan to show his skills. His hands never stopped moving across Grand Elder Wu's back and arms, gradually dispersing the power of the Detoxification Pill and beginning to spread it to each inner organ of the body.

Roar~~

As Qin Fang had said, Grand Elder Wu, who had shown no reaction for twenty days while lying in bed, now displayed an extremely painful expression on his face, and his body began to shudder unnaturally.

Wu Ming and Wu Hai both looked towards Qin Fang at the same time. Although they were mentally prepared, seeing their own father of advanced age and with grave injuries being subjected to such pain was heart-wrenching.

"It's okay. This is beneficial for Grand Elder Wu's recovery..."

Qin Fang had to speak up; otherwise, the two brothers might not be able to hold on.

At the same time, he picked up the Brocade Box from the bedside and took out all the Silver Needles, laying them flat, as he would need to use them immediately and they were indispensable.
