MTI 149 - Service Rewards

"Oh, Xiao Ni will come here? It wasn't easy for Brother Feng to tell him to do something, because he was more obedient to Brother Chen. It's possible that he was bribed with your wine, Han'er."

Bing Lizi commented then laughed at Yao Han's delivery after the young man contacted Feng Xian.

"Is Senior Xiao Ni a wine enthusiast like Master Feng?"

"Hm, not really. But when compared to me, he likes wine more, especially because of the taste of your delicious homemade wine."

Yao Han ended his conversation with Bing Lizi, then approached the two Xu brothers.

"Are you done with your business?" asked Xu Yin.

Yao Han nodded slowly, "Brother Xu, let's continue the treatment of the poison in your body."

"Eh, okay."

Xu Yin moved away giving her space. Yao Han asked Xu Yang to sit back to himself. Xu Yang was a little surprised, because the treatment from Yao Han was not by giving him a pill, but rather by the way that Poison Cultivators generally did.

"Brother Yao, are you an Alchemist or a Poison Cultivator?" Xu Yang slightly turned his head and asked curiously.

Yao Han did not answer Xu Yang but instead asked Xu Yin, "You didn't tell your brother?" Which the beautiful girl answered with a soft slit. Then Yao Han answered Xu Yang's question, "I studied both Dao Alkemi and Dao Poison, what do you think I deserve to be called?"

"Eh?" Xu Yang was even perplexed himself, "Now I learned that there are cultivators who are steeped in two different types of Dao opposite like you."

"You're mistaken, Brother Xu. Alchemy and poison are not opposites, but complement each other. Someone told me that studying poison science can improve the understanding of alchemy and I've proven it myself."

"Hm, so. Makes sense too."

Xu Yang thought Yao Han was told this from his teacher, Feng Xian. But in contrast to Xu Yin who could understand that Yutian who conveyed it to Yao Han as well as who taught him the science of poison.

Xu Yang did not ask anymore because Yao Han was ready to start the treatment process.

"Don't be nervous, breathe calmly. I only ordered one thing, whatever surprised you during the treatment, do nothing but remain calm. Because if we don't, we're both gonna get fucked." Yao Han didn't try to scare her because she was serious about what she said.

"Okay, I get it." Xu Yang replied equally seriously.

Yao Han placed both of his palms on Xu Yang's back, then started using the Poison God Technique. A large amount of Qi entered Xu Yang's body, quite surprisingly the young man.

'A very strong and pure Qi.' Xu Yang slightly frowned stunned, before then being surprised by what Yao Han next did to the poison in his body, "This...Has Brother Yao gone mad?!' But inevitably Xu Yang had to be calm.

The poison in Xu Yang's body was left half of the original and did not include the ferocious poison that could instantly kill him when misused.

However it remained that half number included many and Yao Han could not directly clear the poison other than moving the poison with Qi into his own body.

Half an hour later, Yao Han retracted both of his hands then moved away to turn the poison into nutrients that could strengthen his body.

"I'm curious about the technique Brother Yao used... Did he do such a crazy thing before I regained consciousness? Absorbing poison into his own body?"

Xu Yin could not explain all the truth because the first treatment involved Yutian interference, so she gave an answer in the form of an outline.

"Yes, Yang-gege. He said it was the only way you could get through your critical period."

Xu Yang grimaced in pain unable to imagine how dangerous Yao Han's treatment method was to him, "I owe Brother Yao a huge debt."

Xu Yin only smiled faintly, not responding any further. He did not argue that they were indeed in debt to Yao Han. The two were silent as they watched Yao Han who was busy with his own matters.

Suppose Xu Yin had already mastered the Poison God Technique, then she would be the second best person after Yutian who could cure her brother. The main factor was that the girl had a Thousand Poison Body which was actually inferior when compared to a poison elemental pure spirit root like Yutian had.

Half an hour later, Yao Han finished converting the poison he absorbed into nutrients that strengthened his body in particular, making his strength increase quite significantly. When he opened his eyes, he was greeted with two pairs of eyes staring at him.

Yao Han again repeated the treatment method on Xu Yang up to three times. After the latter's treatment, the day had already changed by night and the poison in Xu Yang's body was left less than ten percent of it originally.

"Brother Xu, the remaining poison I dare not overcome because it has fused with your heart. If I take it out, it'll kill you..."

The poison that fused with Xu Yang's heart was actually not very dangerous. This poison would be the nutrient that made Xu Yang become immune to some kind of poison as his practice increased.

"You are the son of the Patriarch, even though your talent is not as high as your sister's, the resources you get are among the best in the entire Valley of Poison Hearts, but it would be even better for you to take this pill I made."

Yao Han took out a few jade bottles containing perfectly quality pills. Looking at the pill that was emitting rays made Xu Yang cough slowly.

"Pil is of perfect quality.Now I firmly believe you are Senior East Wind disciple, Brother Yao." Xu Yang laughed awkwardly, "I feel bad about accepting this gift of yours, you've helped me too much."

"If you don't want to accept it, then I will return the malignant poison into your body." Yao Han threatened in his own way.

"Which-gege, he doesn't accept rejection, we better take it." Xu Yin hurriedly responded and represented Xu Yang taking those jade bottles, then storing them into the space ring.

"Brother Yao, thank you very much for your help. This is an interesting thing for me, not having the time to get the help of Senior East Wind, I was instead helped by his student. Is there anything I can give you?"

"Oh, you're talking about rewards, yeah, it's actually two."

Yao Han explained Xu Yang was doing enough of two things as payment for him. First, no longer study the Book of Sky Poison or higher poison science before reaching the Foundation Realm. Second, keep diligently practicing so that the pills he gave were not in vain.

"Pills..."

Yao Han wanted to convey a few more things, but he first sensed someone with a powerful aura coming closer.

"We have guests" he said, looking one way.
