Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Neutralizing Cinnabar Blood Poison

Zhang Xuewen’s face glowed with admiration as she clung to Chen Dashan’s arm, her eyes shining.

Today, Zhang Xuewen was wearing a beige short-sleeve shirt, its pale color made the girl look even more pure and delicate, her skin white and smooth. A pair of full "little white rabbits" were squeezed together, pressing tightly against Chen Dashan’s arm, bouncing up and down with her movements.

White and plump.

Quivering, Chen Dashan watched, transfixed.

"Pervert!"

A disdainful female voice came from behind; Chen Dashan turned his head to see Ning Caizhu looking at him with scornful eyes, continuing, "You can’t even spare such a young girl, you’re an utterly disgustingly lewd pervert!"

With those words—

The various reactions from the people inside the shop were mixed.

Peng Hu scratched the back of his head, awkwardly saying, "Uh, boss, if there’s nothing important, I’ll head out first, yeah."

"I just remembered, I haven’t turned off the gas at home!"

With so many women around Chen Dashan, it was better for an outsider like him not to add to the chaos. Better to beat a quick retreat.

Zhao Jiayao covered her mouth, giggling softly.

Wu Hongling’s face was indifferent; she glanced at Ning Caizhu, then turned to Chen Dashan and said, "Master, I’ll head back first. If you want to go somewhere, just call me, I’ll come right over."

"No rush, take these next few days to recover from your injuries!"

Chen Dashan reached out and patted Wu Hongling’s shoulder.

Wu Hongling’s pretty face blushed as she bowed her fists in farewell and left.

Chen Dashan freed his arm from Zhang Xuewen and said indifferently to Ning Caizhu, "You, come with me!"

"Hmph!"

Ning Caizhu snorted disdainfully but moved her feet obediently, following behind Chen Dashan.

Zhang Xuewen rolled her eyes as she watched Ning Caizhu and Chen Dashan together, muttering discontentedly under her breath, "Busybody!"

"Alright, hurry up and clean up the shop!"

Nearby, Zhao Jiayao shook her head with a smile and stepped forward to soothe Zhang Xuewen. Chen Dashan led Ning Caizhu to the warehouse behind the shop. Recently, at Chen Dashan’s request, the warehouse was converted into an Alchemy Room with a resting area attached. When Chen Dashan practiced alchemy, he would often spend hours without leaving.

As a result, the Alchemy Room had all the basic facilities for daily life, ensuring at the very least that Chen Dashan could live there normally for several days.

Ning Caizhu glanced around with her beautiful eyes.

Walking from the bright shop to a corner of the shop, the lighting was noticeably dimmer. Ning Caizhu’s brow furrowed with unease as she watched Chen Dashan enter the code to unlock the silver armored door.

"Creak..."

The heavy door swung open automatically, a draft of cold air blowing in from the darkness, gently lifting the veil on Ning Caizhu’s face.

Ning Caizhu’s eyelashes quivered as she looked up at Chen Dashan’s broad shoulders, her voice low, "What... what do you want to do?"

Chen Dashan turned his head, looking puzzled at Ning Caizhu.

Ning Caizhu’s voice turned threatening, "I am the young lady of the Ning Family, if you dare to do anything to me, my uncle, Huang Long Taoist, won’t let you off, and neither will the Ning Family..."

She crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking afraid of violation.

Chen Dashan glanced at her dismissively, too lazy to explain, and turned to step into the warehouse.

"You..."

"I’m talking to you!"

Ning Caizhu, in hot anger, followed behind Chen Dashan.

Upon entering the warehouse, Ning Caizhu was instantly shocked by the scene before her, a large warehouse of several hundred square meters completely packed with shelves, and on the shelves were neatly arranged various fruits. The temperature inside the warehouse was humid, and very low; the chilly wind outside must have been coming from the cold air in the warehouse.

The air was also filled with a sweet and fragrant fruit aroma, making one’s mouth water.

Continuing to follow behind Chen Dashan, they came to an armored door. Once it was opened, the room beyond was filled with many bottles and jars, as well as a lot of herbal materials. Ning Caizhu narrowed her eyes slightly.

This was a pharmacy.

Seeing a small bed to one side, Ning Caizhu had a sudden thought. When she saw Chen Dashan turn around, she immediately took a panicked step back, her cheeks burning as she said, "What are you trying to do?"

"What do you think I’m trying to do?"

Chen Dashan, at a loss for words, simply walked past Ning Caizhu to take a small wooden box from the shelf nearby and handed it to her, saying, "Take a look."

Ning Caizhu took the wooden box, feeling that this little box seemed very familiar. Then, with a nervous heart, she gently opened the wooden box.

Upon seeing the half piece of wood lying inside the box, Ning Caizhu’s pupils constricted as she said, "Nine-leaf Lotus?"

"This is the Nine-leaf Lotus!"

Chen Dashan nodded, "I will now prepare a medicinal soup for you. This soup must be concocted on the spot and drunk immediately to be effective."

Ning Caizhu nodded.

Her face flushed with embarrassment, she had thought Chen Dashan was about to do something to her, but it turned out she was being paranoid. Looking at the Nine-leaf Lotus in her hand, Ning Caizhu’s eyes blazed with fervor—the Cinnabar Blood Poison could finally be cured!

Two hours later.

Chen Dashan, while intensifying the flames in the medicine furnace, was employing the Sun and Moon Technique for alchemy. The alchemy was nearing its final stages, and Chen Dashan was serious, careful not to make any mistakes.

Watching Chen Dashan’s pale face and the beads of sweat continually flowing from his forehead, Ning Caizhu felt a slight stir of emotion in her heart.

A moment later.

The air was filled with a refreshing fragrance; Ning Caizhu took a whiff and felt her ears and eyes become clear, her mind suddenly much more alert. Had Chen Dashan succeeded in concocting the medicine?

"It’s ready!"

Chen Dashan’s tired voice rang out, and Ning Caizhu quickly went over. The temperature around the medicine furnace was significantly higher than that of the room. Chen Dashan’s body was drenched in sweat, and the handsome contours of his face were illuminated red by the glow of the furnace.

Chen Dashan handed the prepared medicinal soup to Ning Caizhu, saying, "If you can stomach it, drink it quickly. Once the Nine-leaf Lotus has been used for too long, its medicinal properties will evaporate shortly after being prepared."

Ning Caizhu nodded.

At this moment, she wasn’t being squeamish. Holding the medicine bowl in her small hands, she lifted her veil, pouting her red lips as she gently blew on the soup before taking sips.

The instant it entered her mouth, Ning Caizhu shuddered.

The soup, which was extremely hot to begin with, felt like a cool spring when it reached her throat—sweet and refreshing. As the medicine entered her stomach, her whole body seemed to be wrapped in a cool breeze, the restlessness and heat inside her seemed to be suppressed.

In the past few years, she had never felt as comfortable as she did today.

Feeling so good that she wanted to cry out, Ning Caizhu clutched the medicine bowl tightly, excitedly looking up at Chen Dashan and saying, "I feel... I feel like the Cinnabar Blood Poison has been significantly neutralized..."

"Don’t get too excited just yet, this is only the first day!"

Ning Caizhu’s excitement was abruptly cut off by Chen Dashan’s merciless interruption. She pursed her red lips but didn’t lose her temper, feeling cheerful as she said, "No problem, I’ve waited so long, a few more days is nothing."

"Lie down, and take off your clothes in the meantime!"

Chen Dashan, while cleaning up the medicine residue, spoke without even raising his head.

Ning Caizhu behind him had her eyes wide open, a look of shocked wariness on her face as she said, "What?"

"You’re not getting any ideas, are you? Don’t think that just because you prepared medicine for me, I am grateful, and you can do whatever you want. I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Dashan stood up and looked at Ning Caizhu with disbelief, "Miss, I already said before, the medicinal soup needs to be coupled with acupuncture and massage therapy. If you’re not willing, you can leave now!"
