Chapter 10: Fever Reduction

Is it not completely healed yet?" Nie Donghai's expression tightened.

The entire room gradually emanated a rich aroma of medicinal herbs, while the boiling water in the wooden barrel, under the flickering candlelight, also released a strange greenish glow

"Alright, alright, I understand. I will not act recklessly in the future," Nie Tian said with a headache.

Crack!

The light curtain rippled with subtle waves like flowing water, seemingly isolating all sounds, leaving Nie Donghai, Nie Qian, and others outside completely unaware despite their proximity.

"Come in." Hua Mu said淡淡.

"No, it is not very empty." Nie Tian shook his head, a strange expression appearing on his face, "On the contrary, I feel... quite good. No, it is very good!"

At this moment, the strange light in Hua Mu's eyes instantly vanished.

Hua Mu arrogantly took it, glanced at it without paying much attention, and casually stuffed the cloth bag into the medicine chest, seemingly indifferent to the rewards.

Nie Tian, still in a daze and unable to regain his senses, asked in confusion, "How many days have I had a high fever?"

Alright. Nie Tian nodded helplessly

Nie Tian let out an unconscious cry of pain; in the scalding boiling water, every pore of his body seemed to be forcibly expanded, greedily sucking in the medicinal essence from the water

It was as if the precious medicinal liquid infused by Hua Mu gradually permeated through Nie Tian's pores, merging little by little into his flesh and blood

Great kindness is not to be expressed in words, and I kindly ask Mr. Hua to stay a few more days at the Nie residence; I will certainly provide a warm hospitality

You little rascal! Nie Qian said with tears still in the corners of her eyes, her heart aching: After your battle with Nie Hong, that very night you suddenly developed a high fever. By the time I discovered it, you were already in a coma from the fever. We searched high and low for renowned doctors in Black Cloud City and the surrounding areas, but none could cure you. We were preparing to send you to Lingyun Sect when Mr. Hua suddenly came to the door... We searched high and low for renowned doctors in Black Cloud City and the surrounding areas, but none could cure you. We were preparing to send you to Lingyun Sect when Mr. Hua suddenly came to the door...

"What does it mean?" Nie Donghai asked in surprise

Still being stubborn! I do not wish to see you once again in a high fever and unconscious! This time, fortunately, Mr. Hua happened to pass by Black Cloud City, otherwise..." At this point, Nie Qian was about to cry again, "If anything were to happen to you, I would not want to live either. If you were to have an accident, I would have no face to meet your mother in the afterlife.

"There is no need to worry too much; he is fine." Hua Mu said confidently, slightly looking up at the sky, "I have said that I can heal him, and I certainly can. Today, I have already proven myself to you; you should trust me."

Strange sounds echoed, emanating from his bones and organs, as if the flesh and blood throughout his body were cheering and screaming.

Of course! Of course! Nie Donghai hurriedly said, bowing again, "In the following days, I will trouble Mr. Hua. Mr. Hua has just arrived in Heiyun City and should not have settled in yet, right? If not, how about staying at our Nie family? Rest assured, I will arrange the most comfortable guest room and will not dare to neglect you, sir"

I believe that if I were to face Nie Hong again now, I could easily defeat him!" Nie Tian grinned, displaying a brilliant smile full of confidence

Swish!

Nie Donghai suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in with Nie Qian, who was equally anxious

Oh, well then. Nie Tian scratched his head

It should have been this way long ago. He occupies the position of the head of the family, making it inconvenient for us to do many things. In the future... it will be fine

Three days. Hua Mu's tone was calm

Um...

Numb and unconscious, Nie Tian lay submerged in a wooden barrel, his exposed skin turning red and purple.

A faint glimmer of colorful fire flickered in and out of the pores beneath Nie Tian's skin, and with each of his anguished cries, the originally murky potion in the wooden barrel gradually became clear

Nie Beichuan, who had refined a trace of cold air from the black jade pillar into his dantian, opened his eyes and said indifferently: "Since Nie Tian is fine, I need to have a talk with my elder brother. According to his words, yesterday he should have clarified everything to the clan elders and then voluntarily stepped down from the position of family head."

One by one, bubbles floated to the surface of the water, only to burst rapidly, releasing a pale green mist.

As soon as he entered, he immediately approached Nie Tian's side, reaching out to press against Nie Tian's wrist. When he discovered that Nie Tian's high fever had subsided and his body temperature had returned to normal, his expression instantly turned to one of ecstatic joy

No need, I am someone who enjoys peace and quiet, I just want to walk alone in the city. Hua Mu seemed uninterested in talking more with Nie Donghai, and after leaving this sentence, he walked straight out.

The sturdy wooden barrel, under the pressure of his two hands, seemed unable to withstand the immense force and suddenly shattered.

Bang

"Grandfather, who is this person? Also, why have I had a high fever for three days?" After Hua Mu left, Nie Tian asked in confusion.

A faint visible light curtain radiated outward from the physician Hua Mu as the center, enveloping both Nie Tian and the wooden barrel.

Nie Tian raised his hand, casually moving his arms, instinctively sensing that this body could provide him with a strength far greater than before

I am a physician. Your peculiar illness, which no one else could treat, has been cured by me. Therefore, you must trust me and continue the treatment as I instruct you to do so, " Hua Mu said in an undeniable tone.

Wow!

She explained the course of events in great detail and then asked, "How is it? How do you feel now? Are you feeling very weak?"

Although it is a bit late today, I believe he should still be awake. Nie Beichuan got up, walked out of the secret room, and went to talk to Nie Donghai

As Nie Tian's high fever gradually subsided with the clarity of the medicine

Hua Mu's expression remained unchanged, as if he knew it should be this way, and he calmly said: "This peculiar ailment of yours has not yet been completely eradicated. You will need to continue soaking in the medicinal liquid under my care for another six days"

Nie Tian suddenly let out an unbearable scream, yet his high-pitched cry seemed unable to penetrate that faint layer of light curtain

Father, that foreign physician truly managed to bring down Nie Tian's high fever" Nie Kan entered with a gloomy expression, speaking in a tone filled with regret

The secret chamber where Nie Beichuan cultivates

"It's fine, it's fine." Nie Qian did not think too much about it, "In the future, try to avoid conflicts with Nie Hong as much as possible. His realm is three levels higher than yours, and his spiritual power can even overflow. Yet you insist on being stubborn. I suspect that your sudden high fever this time is a result of battling with him. If you can't win, then don't fight. Your realm is much lower; if you lose, you lose. Don't be so stubborn."

As the water overflowed from the bucket, Nie Tian's expression changed, staring blankly at the shattered pieces of wood.

The maid Han Yue, holding a cloth bag filled with gold, silver, several spirit stones, and medicinal herbs, respectfully presented it to Hua Mu

"It has not been completely cured yet," Hua Mu waved his hand, declining Nie Donghai's kind offer, and said, "For the next six days, I will come at this time every day. You should prepare a wooden tub and hot water in advance, as I will use the same method to treat your grandson's strange illness."

Without waiting for Hua Mu to say much, he raised his voice and said: "Han Yue, hand the reward to Mr. Hua!"

In Huamu's eyes, it seemed as if two balls of green ghostly fire had been ignited, as he gazed intently at Nie Tian, his expression filled with excitement intermingled with a hint of reverence

Aow!

Gurgling

He hunched his body and said with an air of composure: "I am the old man Hua Mu, here at your grandfather's invitation, specifically to help you recover from your high fever"

The scalding boiling water had long since cooled and calmed down, and Nie Tian, who had been in a coma for three days, opened his eyes after the high fever subsided

His already stronger body than that of an ordinary child seemed to inflate once again, as if filled with air

"In the past few days, you must stay at home honestly and cannot go anywhere!" Nie Donghai sternly instructed

After the high fever subsided, I felt as if I had an inexhaustible amount of energy, seemingly stronger than before. Nie Tian pondered over his words, "The spiritual power in my dantian has not changed much, but the strength throughout my body has certainly seen a significant increase, I can feel it."

Snap

After a long time, the intense pain gradually faded for Nie Tian, who no longer continued to cry out in agony. The faint halo emanating from Hua Mu's body transformed into wisps of flowing light, disappearing within Hua Mu's form

Three days have passed! Nie Tian was taken aback, pressing his hands against the wooden barrel, ready to leap out.

It is strange. Nie Donghai gazed deeply at him, his face clouded with suspicion.

"Mr. Hua, may I come in?" Outside the room, Nie Donghai, anxious and restless, heard the sound of the wooden barrel breaking, as well as the conversation between Hua Mu and Nie Tian, and could no longer contain himself.

I feel very well and should not have a fever anymore, Nie Tian said nonchalantly
