The unconscious Nie Tian was soaked in the barrel, and his exposed skin turned red and purple.
"Gurgling!"
Bubbles floated to the surface one by one, and then exploded quickly, evaporating light green mist.
The whole room gradually exudes the rich aroma of medicinal herbs, and the boiling water waves in the wooden barrel also release a strange green luster under the flickering candlelight.
"Well… "
Nie Tian let out an unconscious cry of pain. In the scalding boiling water, the pores on his body seemed to be forcibly swollen, and he was greedily sucking the medicinal juice in the water.
His body, which was already stronger than that of an ordinary child, slowly expanded again as if it had been inflated.
"Crack!"
Strange sounds came from his bones and organs, and the flesh and blood all over his body seemed to be screaming in joy.
A faint light curtain visible to the naked eye spread out with the doctor Hua Mu as the center, covering both Nie Tian and the barrel.
"Ouch!"
Nie Tian suddenly let out an unbearable scream, but his high-pitched scream seemed unable to penetrate the faint light curtain.
The light curtain had tiny ripples like running water, which seemed to block all sounds, leaving Nie Donghai, Nie Qian and others who were close at hand outside the house unaware.
In Hua Mu's eyes, two green will-o'-the-wisps seemed to be ignited. He looked at Nie Tian intently, with a hint of awe in his excited expression.
"Chi!"
Wisps of colorful firelight went in and out of the pores under Nie Tian's skin. As Nie Tian screamed, the originally turbid potion in the barrel gradually became clear.
It was as if the precious concoction injected by Hua Mu passed through Nie Tian's pores and blended into his flesh and blood bit by bit.
And Nie Tian's high fever was slowly receding as the potion became clearer.
After a long time, Nie Tian, whose severe pain gradually disappeared, did not continue to cry out in pain. The faint halo from Hua Mu's body turned into wisps of light and disappeared into Hua Mu's body.
The scalding boiling water had already cooled down and Nie Tian, who had been in a coma for three days, opened his eyes after the high fever subsided.
At this time, the strange light in Hua Mu's eyes disappeared in an instant.
He hunched over and said calmly: "Old Chen Hua Mu, at your grandpa's invitation, I'm here to help you get rid of your high fever."
Nie Tian, who had not yet come to his senses, said in confusion, "How many days have I had a high fever?"
"Three days." Hua Mu said calmly.
"Three days!" Nie Tian was shocked. He pressed the barrel with both hands and was about to jump out.
"Crack!"
The hard wooden barrel, under the pressure of his hands, seemed unable to withstand the huge force and suddenly broke into pieces.
"Whoosh!"
When the water in the bucket overflowed, Nie Tian looked strange and stared blankly at the broken boards.
Hua Mu's expression remained unchanged, as if he knew this should be the case, and said calmly: "This strange disease of yours has not been completely eradicated. You still need to soak the concoction in my hands for six days."
Nie Tian raised his hand and moved his arms casually, instinctively feeling that the power this body could bring to him was much stronger than before.
"I feel very good. The fever probably won't continue." Nie Tian said nonchalantly.
"I am a doctor. No one else can cure your strange disease. So, you have to believe me and continue to treat it as I say!" Hua Mu said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"Oh, okay." Nie Tian scratched his head.
"Mr. Hua, can I come in?" Outside the house, Nie Donghai was anxious. Hearing the breaking of the barrel and the conversation between Hua Mu and Nie Tian, he could no longer hold himself back.
"Come in." Hua Mu said calmly.
"Bang!"
Nie Donghai suddenly opened the door, and Nie Qian, who was also anxious, rushed in.
As soon as he came in, he immediately came to Nie Tian's side and put his hand on Nie Tian's wrist. When he found that Nie Tian's high fever had subsided and his body temperature returned to normal, his face immediately became ecstatic.
Before Hua Mu could say anything, he raised his voice and said, "Han Yue, give the reward to Mr. Hua!"
The maid Han Yue held a cloth bag filled with gold and silver, as well as several spiritual stones and medicinal materials, and handed it to Hua Mu respectfully.
Hua Mu took it arrogantly, without looking at it, and stuffed the bag into the medicine box, as if he didn't care about the rewards at all.
"I won't thank you enough for your kindness. Please also ask Mr. Hua to stay at Nie's house for a few more days. I will treat you well." Nie Donghai said sincerely.
"It hasn't been completely cured yet." Hua Mu waved his hand, rejected Nie Donghai's kindness, and said: "In the next six days, I will come here at this time every day. You prepare wooden barrels and hot water in advance, and I will return Use the same method to cure your grandson's strange disease."
"Not completely healed yet?" Nie Donghai's face tightened.
"Don't worry too much, he's fine." Hua Mu raised his head slightly and said confidently: "I said I could cure him, and I can. Today, I have proven myself to you, and you should believe me."
"Of course! Of course!" Nie Donghai said hurriedly, bowing again, "Then I'll bother Mr. Hua in the next few days. Mr. Hua first came to Black Cloud City, so he probably doesn't have a place to stay, right? Otherwise, just live there. How about staying at our Nie family? Don't worry, I will definitely arrange the most comfortable guest room, and I will never neglect you, sir."
"No need, I like peace and quiet and just want to walk around the city alone." Hua Mu didn't seem to be interested in talking to Nie Donghai anymore. After leaving these words, he walked straight out.
"Grandpa, who is this person? Also, why have I had a high fever for three days?" Nie Tian asked confusedly after Hua Mu left.
"You bastard!" Nie Qian said heartbrokenly with tears still lingering on her eyes: "After the battle with Nie Hong, you suddenly had a high fever that night. When I found out, you were so feverish that you were unconscious. Let's find him. I have tried all the famous doctors in Heiyun City and nearby, but none of them can cure you. I am about to send you to Lingyun Sect, but Mr. Hua suddenly comes to your door... "
She explained what happened carefully, and then asked: "How is it? How do you feel now? Are you feeling weak?"
"No, it's not very weak." Nie Tian shook his head, with a strange look on his face, "On the contrary, I feel... pretty good. No, it's very good!"
"What do you mean?" Nie Donghai was surprised.
"After the high fever subsided, I felt as if I had endless strength and seemed to be stronger than before." Nie Tian considered his words, "The spiritual power in the Dantian has not changed much, but the strength of the whole body must have improved." It’s a big improvement, I can feel it.”
"It's strange." Nie Donghai looked at him deeply, his face filled with doubts.
"It's okay, it's okay." Nie Qian didn't think too much. "You should try your best to fight with Nie Hong as little as possible in the future. He is three levels higher than you, and his spiritual power can leak out. You have to show off. I I guess your sudden high fever this time was caused by fighting with him. If you can't beat him, don't fight. Your level is much lower. If you lose, you lose. Don't be so hard-boned."
"I think if Nie Hong and I were to fight again, I could easily defeat him!" Nie Tian grinned with a bright and confident smile.
"You still have to be tough! I don't want to see you fall into a coma due to high fever again! Fortunately, Mr. Hua happened to pass by Black Cloud City this time, otherwise..." At this point, Nie Qian started to cry again, "If you really have something wrong with you, , Auntie doesn’t want to live anymore. If something happens to you, I will never have the face to see your mother under the spring."
"Okay, okay, I understand, just don't mess around in the future." Nie Tian said with a headache.
"These days, stay at home and don't go anywhere!" Nie Donghai warned seriously.
"Okay." Nie Tian nodded helplessly.
The secret room where Nie Beichuan practiced.
"Father, that foreign doctor really brought down Nie Tian's high fever." Nie Kan came in with gloomy eyes and said in a tone full of regret.
Nie Beichuan, who refined a trace of cold air from the black jade pillar behind his back into his Dantian, opened his eyes and said coldly: "Since Nie Tian is fine, I will talk to my elder brother. According to what he said, yesterday, he should I will make it clear to all the clan elders and then voluntarily withdraw from my position as the head of the family."
"It should have been like this a long time ago. He occupies the position of the head of the family, and it is inconvenient for us to do many things. From now on... it will be fine." Nie Kan said excitedly.
"Although it's a bit late today, I guess he's not asleep yet." Nie Beichuan stood up, walked out of the secret room, and went to talk to Nie Donghai.
