"Fire Yang Pill? What is that?" Ling Shuya asked curiously upon hearing Ye Xiao's words.

Ye Xiao wanted to speak, but he coughed a few times due to his body's weakness. At this point, his body was truly on the verge of collapse. Without that life-saving Fire Yang Pill, nobody knew if Ye Xiao would have been a goner!

Ye Xiao was somewhat powerless, but he still managed a bitter smile and said, "Right now, I must focus on healing my wounds. Otherwise, come tomorrow, all you'll see will be my corpse."

"Ah?" Ling Shuya was greatly surprised, and it was at that moment that she realized, right, Ye Xiao was also seriously injured.

"Ye Xiao, what about my dad and the others?" Ling Shuya was a bit troubled. Ye Xiao needed to heal his wounds and it was uncertain how long it would take. What if, after too much time passed, Ling Hengyu and the rest died before Ye Xiao could recover? That would be a major problem.

Ye Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Your dad must have ginseng or similar tonics here. Take the best you have, grind it into powder, and have them consume it directly. I hope it works!"

"You mean to eat it directly?" Ling Shuya was even more astonished upon hearing Ye Xiao's words. That was ginseng they were talking about—wouldn't eating it directly risk over-nourishing them?

Ling Shuya asked again, but Ye Xiao did not answer this time. He genuinely didn't have the strength to respond.

"Shuya, let's do as Ye Xiao said. Ye Xiao needs to recover his strength urgently," Shen Qiuyu said, looking at Ling Shuya.

Ling Shuya then nodded, glanced at Ye Xiao, and said, "Ye Xiao, you take care and heal."

Ye Xiao nodded slightly, but still didn't speak.

However, just as they were about to leave, Ye Xiao suddenly looked towards Qin Yulu, who was following them.

"Lu Lu, do you feel it?" Ye Xiao suddenly asked.

Ling Shuya and Shen Qiuyu both looked at Ye Xiao, not understanding what he meant by that.

What did 'do you feel it' mean? The phrasing sounded somehow ambiguous!

They didn't know what Ye Xiao meant, but Qin Yulu did. She immediately looked at Ye Xiao and said, "There's a slight chill inside me, I'm not sure if it's..."

"Go ahead, I'll recover as fast as I can!" Ye Xiao said.

Then, Qin Yulu, Ling Shuya, and Shen Qiuyu quickly left Ye Xiao's room.

What Ye Xiao referred to had no other meaning—Qin Yulu had a mysterious cold poison hidden within her. It had been two days since Ye Xiao treated her wounds, and just now, he noted a faint blue tinge on Qin Yulu's face, a clear sign that the poison might be acting up.

Although Ye Xiao truly hoped that the poison wouldn't flare up at this critical moment, these things didn't allow for negotiation.

Struggling to sit up straight on the bed, Ye Xiao felt that the Nine Yang True Qi within him was indeed very thin. However, if not for this thin layer of Nine Yang True Qi, perhaps Ye Xiao would really have been dead by now. Another thing was the burning sensation inside him; it was the effect of the Fire Yang Pill. But Ye Xiao was truly puzzled—how could Ling Hengyu have had such a rare and supreme elixir like the Fire Yang Pill, which could be considered the Reviving Pill among mortals?

However, at this time, Ye Xiao genuinely had no energy to dwell on these thoughts. What he needed to do was to recover as quickly as possible. Otherwise, not only might his life be in danger, but Ling Hengyu, Weei Jie, Wang Luoxin, and others might never stand again. So the recovery of Ye Xiao's strength was tied to the lives of more than a dozen people.

Ye Xiao's eyes slowly closed. Now, he was not practicing the Mad God Skill, but rather the solely Nine Yang Divine Skill. The Nine Yang True Qi began to rapidly condense within his Dantian. When it reached a certain level, a faint halo began to appear around his body, a purple color indicative of the rapid healing process.

Time passed quickly, and Ye Xiao was immersed in a sea of Nine Yang True Qi. Although he practiced the Nine Yang Divine Skill, which was extremely effective in restoring strength and healing internal injuries, the healing was slow, after all. The injuries Ye Xiao had suffered this time were too severe, so severe that he didn't dare to be the least bit careless.

That night, everyone in the villa who wasn't unconscious stayed awake—Ye Xiao because of his cultivation, but the others dared not sleep, fearing that if they did, they would wake up to true eternal darkness.

"Sister Qiuyu, it's been a whole night. Why hasn't Ye Xiao come out yet?" Ling Shuya, not daring to speak too loudly, whispered to Shen Qiuyu.

Shen Qiuyu sighed and checked the time, which was now four fifty-eight in the morning.

"The injuries Ye Xiao suffered this time were serious, and healing is not that simple. Let's be patient and wait. Fortunately, the method Ye Xiao suggested seems to be effective. I think they should be able to hold on until Ye Xiao appears!" Shen Qiuyu said, looking towards Ling Hengyu and the others lying in the living room.

Yesterday evening, Ling Shuya and Shen Qiuyu followed Ye Xiao's method to search for ginseng in the villa and ultimately found a root that looked strikingly like a little baby in Ling Hengyu's study. Shen Qiuyu looked at the ginseng with great astonishment because ginseng with human-like characteristics was extremely rare. However, Ling Shuya, the prodigal daughter, merely asked Shen Qiuyu one question, "Is this ginseng any good?" Shen Qiuyu replied it was excellent, so Ling Shuya proceeded to toss away the exquisite gift box meant for the ginseng, taking the ginseng into the kitchen. Like chopping vegetables, she sliced the rare ginseng into powder. Then, the powder was fed to those who were injured. Initially, their faces were as pale as dead men, but within half an hour of the powder being stuffed into their mouths, their complexions began to improve.

"It definitely can work, but I wonder when Ye Xiao will show up!" Ling Shuya said, her words tinged with helplessness.

Just then, an 'uh' sounded, followed by a thud, and Ling Shuya and Shen Qiuyu immediately turned around to see Qin Yulu, who had been behind them, fall to the ground, her body shivering.

"Yulu!" Both Ling Shuya and Shen Qiuyu were shocked. It was not the first time Qin Yulu suffered a poison attack, so they had seen it before. Having seen it, they instantly knew what was happening to her.

Shen Qiuyu squatted down, grabbing the trembling Qin Yulu with purple lips, and urgently turned to Ling Shuya, "This isn't good, Yulu's poison has flared up!"

How could Ling Shuya be unaware? She frowned deeply, looking at the shaking Qin Yulu, and said, "What should we do? Ye Xiao might not come out anytime soon, and if we let Yulu suffer from the poison like this, she might not last long."

With Ye Xiao absent, Shen Qiuyu was usually the mainstay, but now, even this mainstay did not know what to do. After all, Shen Qiuyu was utterly unable to suppress Qin Yulu's poison with her own strength, completely incapable of containing it.

"We can't just sit around and wait, Yulu will die," Ling Shuya said again.

Upon hearing Ling Shuya's words, Shen Qiuyu became extremely anxious, "If only we had a life-saving pill like the Fire Yang Pill right now, perhaps it could even remove the poison."

Idly spoken words can trigger big ideas!

After hearing Shen Qiuyu's words, something occurred to Ling Shuya. When she went to fetch the Fire Yang Pill, she remembered that another pill was also in the brocade box. In Ling Shuya's view, since it was stored with the Fire Yang Pill and considering the miraculous effect of the Fire Yang Pill, perhaps this one also had some curative properties, and at the very least, it should not be a poison.

Ye Xiao was in the midst of healing and could not be disturbed, and everyone else was unconscious. Ling Shuya thought to herself that she definitely couldn't just watch Yulu freeze to death from the poison.

"Sister Qiuyu, there's a pill that might save Yulu's life!" Ling Shuya said, looking towards Shen Qiuyu.

Upon hearing Ling Shuya's words, Shen Qiuyu immediately looked at her with great surprise and urged, "Really? Where is it? Quickly bring it here for Yulu to take."

At this point, Shen Qiuyu was desperate and somewhat lost.

"It's stored in the same place as the Fire Yang Pill," said Ling Shuya.

Hearing this, Shen Qiuyu realized that if it was stored with the Fire Yang Pill, then it was certainly no ordinary pill.

Shen Qiuyu had also heard a bit about the Fire Yang Pill; it was truly a miraculous medicine, and she had just witnessed its effects.

"Do you think it's usable?" Although Shen Qiuyu had been a bit hasty in her speech due to the urgency of saving someone, now that Ling Shuya mentioned that the item was stored where the Fire Yang Pill was kept, it naturally belonged to the private property of the Ling family. If they forcefully took it, that would clearly be inappropriate.

Ling Shuya looked at Qin Yulu, who was in extreme distress, and immediately said, "Saving a life is what matters most."

So, Ling Shuya hurriedly ran towards Ling Hengyu's study, now familiar with the route, and fetched the pill.

"Strange, this pill feels somewhat cool," Ling Shuya said curiously to Shen Qiuyu after bringing it over.

Shen Qiuyu examined the pill: its color was different from the Fire Yang Pill's, but its shape and size were identical.

Shen Qiuyu looked down at the fallen Qin Yulu and then at the pill in Ling Shuya's hand, and made up her mind, "To freeze to death is still death—we may as well take a gamble, perhaps it's a life-saving medicine."

Ling Shuya totally agreed with Shen Qiuyu's words, nodded, and said, "What Sister Qiuyu said is right; I think so too. If Ye Xiao doesn't come out, Yulu could be in mortal danger at any moment. If this is a poison, we can consider it freeing Yulu from her suffering!"

After Ling Shuya spoke these words, the two looked at each other, clearly both having some reservations. Though words might be spoken lightly, who could know if this substance could truly save a life?

Yet, whether it could save a life or not, without trying, it wasn't an option at all. At least by trying, there was still a chance to save a life. Without trying, there was only the certainty of death.
