Hearing Old Man Xue's orders, Xue Xiaqi took out a sign from the counter that said "business is suspended", then walked out and closed the courtyard door. He then turned back and stood behind Old Master Xue.

After waiting for Xue Xiaoqi to return, Old Master Xue turned around and glanced at him, then said: "Hurry and pack up. Let's go to the backyard."

This old man, Xue Yassong, is very clear-cut. He said that he would do as he pleased and it seems like he intends to give us the rhythm of pulling out the cold poison in our bodies right now.

"En," Xue Xiao Qi responded before walking to the counter. He picked up a medicine box and followed behind Xue Yassong. He then turned around and left the pharmacy.

Luo Weiping glanced in our direction, and the two men from the special forces dressed in Chinese tunics helped Li You Jie and me up. We followed behind them and left the courtyard.

When Luo Wei saw that Old Master Xue intended to treat us right away, he immediately expressed his gratitude.

In the beginning, I didn't have much hope for this Xue family's medicine store, but after seeing that both father and son had an extraordinary temperament and seeing that the young man called Xue Xiao Qi had treated a person with a face full of pustules, my confidence immediately rose greatly, and I felt that there shouldn't be any problems with the cold poison in my body.

Especially since this old man doesn't seem to show much emotion towards the cold poison in our bodies, he only feels that this situation is a kind of minor injury in his eyes.

To be able to remain so calm and collected, he must be a master with some skills.

After Li Shujie and I were helped out of the pharmacy, we entered the courtyard. It was around one in the afternoon, and the sun was at its highest point. It was exceptionally hot, but even though the sun was shining, I still felt very cold.

We walked along the path made from small stones towards the backyard. The two sides of the road were mostly filled with flowers and plants, but they all looked like herbs. Compared to the plants that were planted by the Southern Goblin Tribe, this place felt a hundred times more comfortable.

Very quickly, we arrived at the backyard of the Xue Clan medicine store. The father and son of the Xue Clan walked straight into a room, and we followed in after them.

The furnishings in this room were quite strange. In the middle of the room, there were a few bed boards, and all around the room hung a variety of instruments, all of which were dazzling, but they all looked like surgical instruments, and they were very special, most of which I had never seen before. When I suddenly entered, I was shocked and felt as if I had walked into a torture chamber.

Even Luo Wei and the others who brought me in were stunned when they saw the strange tools in the room.

"Put them flat on the chopping board." Old Master Xue Yassong said indifferently.

I was stunned as I looked at Xue Yassong. I had a feeling that if I lied here, they would tear me apart.

However, since we were tricked, we have to listen to the doctor's instructions. This was also something that we had no other choice about. Li Rujie and I were placed on the chopping board and laid down flat.

Following that, that Xue Yassong told the two special task force members to strip Li Renjie and I of our clothes.

I couldn't take it anymore. I was really not used to being naked in front of so many strangers. I trembled and said, "Can you not take off your clothes?"

The old man, Xue Yassong, smiled and said, "That's fine. Since you don't want to take it off, you can just go back. After you leave this door, if there is anyone who can cure the cold poison in your body, you can leave."

Damn, this is clearly forcing me to take it off.

Luckily, the room was full of old masters. If you want to take them off, then take it off, just think of it as taking a bath.

Helpless, I could only allow one of the guys from the special task force to help me strip off my clothes. In the end, all I managed to wear was a pair of underwear before lying down on the hard wooden board.

Just like me, Li Renjie was stripped naked and laid there.

After everything was ready, Xue Yassong nodded slightly towards his son, saying, "Xiao Qi, I've given you the seventy-two needles from the Ghost sect. The cold poison in their bodies can be dispelled with this needle technique, and with these two people here, I'll hand them over to you."

Xue Xiaoqi's eyes widened as soon as he heard this, and he timidly said, "Dad, I only learned 72 needles in this cabinet. I'm afraid that I can't learn 17 needles, no?"

At this, I felt a pang of sadness. Did this old man use our lives to train his son? Interesting.

However, the conversation that followed caused me to fall into a deep sadness and despair.

However, he heard Xue Yassong say, "Not only have you failed to learn the seventy-two needles in the Ghost sect, but I have also only learned seventy-nine needles in my life. It is already not bad that you have learned these seventeen needles.

However, Xue Xiao Qi shook her head like a rattle, waving her hands and said, "Dad, I think this matter is over. Although I have learned 17 needles, I'm still not proficient in them, and this Ghost sect's 72 needles are very dangerous, and I have to be extremely careful with every needle. If anything goes wrong, I'll die, and I won't dare to take this risk."

When I heard this, my heart goes cold. It seems that we are just little mice for experiments. We should be ready to die at any moment.

However, the old man encouraged Xue Yassong, "You can be at ease. Daddy will watch by the side. Nothing will happen. Just do whatever you want."

Hearing his father's encouragement, Xue Xiaoqi immediately rubbed his hands together. "Alright then, I'll try."

As he spoke, Xue Xiaoqi walked up to me with a medicine chest in hand, laughing as he said, "I say, bro, don't move around too much in a bit. My acupuncture technique isn't very reliable to begin with, so if you move around and prick the wrong acupuncture points, I can't guarantee that you'll be able to get out of here standing."

"Life and death are in the hands of fate, wealth is in the hands of heaven. Little brother, just try your best. It's my misfortune to die here." I smiled weakly at Xue Xiaoqi.

"Alright then, I'll start now." As he spoke, Xue Xiaoqi opened the medicine chest, and I saw him take out a bottle the size of a wine bottle from the medicine chest, and a piece of white gauze. He poured out some white liquid from the bottle, and after rubbing it against the white gauze for a while, he started to smear it on my body.
