Chapter 14 Administering Medicine, Divine Physician, Left Door

The toad demon trembled in fear as it hid in the ditch.

Upon closer inspection, his body was covered in blood, and his head and neck were torn and bleeding.

It couldn't even maintain its human form, and could only barely stay in a half-human, half-toad state.

"White...White Snake!"

"You stole my opportunity centuries ago, and now you've severely injured me. I won't let you get away with this!"

Despite this, the toad spirit remained puzzled.

Why was the White Snake able to find him?

Although for yokai, the most basic ability is to distinguish yokai energy from other yokai.

But they only had a general understanding of the existence of the monsters; they couldn't possibly pinpoint their exact location.

Unless the White Snake obtains her own elixir!

"I only selected ordinary mortals who have no demonic aura and should not have any connection with the White Snake."

"What's going on?"

The toad spirit hid in a ditch to heal its wounds while pondering a way to deal with the situation.

After a long time, he reverted to his toad form and submerged his entire body in the ditch.

"When the poison takes hold in those mortals who have consumed the elixirs, their strength and life essence will naturally become part of my cultivation!"

"While this approach carries risks, it can also yield significant improvements."

"White Snake, we'll see!"

------

For several days in a row, Xu Xian was carefree and leisurely.

Since the death of the Rat Demon King, the remaining little rat demons naturally fled in panic and have already left Hangzhou City.

Even though Xu Xian knew the plot well, he only managed to catch a level eight little mouse demon.

Xu Xian easily killed it, gaining 8 points of Dao Qi, which allowed him to successfully level up.

Having done all this, Xu Xian did not continue to exorcise demons.

Because there are not many demons left in Hangzhou, and their hiding places are not fixed, they are quite troublesome to find.

There are many powerful demons in Hangzhou, such as the toad demon and the centipede demon, but Xu Xian is completely helpless against them.

These are all powerful demons capable of taking human form, as different from ordinary lesser demons.

Regardless of their strength, their physical strength alone far surpasses that of the Rat Demon King.

Even if Xu Xian could use the [Small Heavenly Hidden Technique] and [Heart-Piercing Constipation] to get close to the great demon and temporarily render him unable to move.

But it was impossible to break through the defenses.

Therefore, Xu Xian stopped bothering the monsters.

He helped out at the pharmacy during the day and devoted his evenings to practicing the "Yin-Yang Harmony Method," leading a relaxed yet fulfilling life.

With Xu Xian's hint, Li Gongfu successfully found the dilapidated house and rescued the seven mortals.

Ordinary people lose much of their vital energy, but their fundamental nature remains unharmed.

Rest well for half a month and you will recover naturally.

As a result of this incident, Li Gongfu was commended by the government and became the most prominent constable in Qiantang County.

Xu Xian quietly observed in the clinic, paying attention to the mortals with pustules on the backs of their hands.

These are people who have taken the toad spirit pills and need to detoxify as soon as possible.

Otherwise, all their strength and essence would become the cultivation level of the toad demon.

When the toad demon is in full bloody aura, it will attract the attention of Jinshan Temple and Lingyin Temple in advance.

With the senior monk taking care of the demon, it was naturally not Xu Xian's turn to gain experience.

One evening, Xu Xian was prescribing medicine when he suddenly heard crying and shouting coming from outside the pharmacy.

He slightly released his divine sense and indeed saw a woman with pustules on her palm.

Xu Xian was about to get up and leave when his master stopped him.

"It seems to be a plague; you mustn't go!"

After saying that, the old doctor picked up a towel soaked in hot water and medicine, and walked straight out.

When the old doctor came out, the woman cried out in tears, "Doctor, please save me..."

The old doctor lifted the woman's hand, examined it carefully, and then placed a hot towel on it.

"An external pathogen has entered your body; I'll prescribe you some medicine to clear heat and detoxify... Chinese?"

Before the old doctor could finish speaking, Xu Xian came out.

Before the old doctor could speak, Xu Xian said directly, "Master, I've seen this symptom in ancient prescriptions... May I ask, ma'am, have you taken any pills in the past day or two?"

The woman thought for a moment and immediately nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, a wandering Taoist priest gave me a pill, saying it could cure all diseases!"

Xu Xian nodded, then said to the old doctor, "Master, please leave this matter to me."

"Okay, be very careful!"

"Thank you, Master."

Xu Xian wrapped a hot towel around the woman's hand and said that he would go back to gather herbs and find a solution the next day.

The woman thanked him profusely and left the clinic.

Xu Xian hurried home to seek backup.

At Xu Xian's house, Bai Suzhen was washing clothes, feeling a little resentful.

Because the official seemed to regard her as an ordinary young woman.

To be fair, Bai Suzhen really enjoyed this simple and peaceful life, and often found herself immersed in it.

Xu Xian is kind-hearted, talented, and has a good temperament, which makes Bai Suzhen very satisfied.

She felt that she was not good enough for Xu Xian.

Bai Suzhen's daily tasks of washing clothes, cooking, cleaning, and tidying up were not easy.

But whose wife doesn't do it this way?

In this light, Xu Xian is the perfect match for all girls, while Bai Suzhen is just an ordinary girl with nothing special about her.

Whenever she thought of this, Bai Suzhen felt a little anxious.

My lord, is there anything you can't solve?

Tell your wife quickly, and let her solve this for you!

My lord, you must know that your wife is no ordinary woman.

That's amazing!

Bai Suzhen's thoughts were racing when she suddenly sensed a strange aura.

The demure, feminine demeanor vanished from her face, replaced by an extremely cold expression: "Toad demon, how dare you lay a hand on my husband?"

Bai Suzhen muttered something, and then saw Xu Xian hurrying home.

Her face was beaming again: "My lord is back~"

Xu Xian hurriedly walked to Bai Suzhen's side, looking distressed, and said, "I just met a woman with festering sores on her hands, but I don't know how to treat her. My wife, didn't I give you a magic pill that could cure all diseases last time? Where is that pill?"

Bai Suzhen knew that Xu Xian was troubled by the toad spirit's poison.

Looking at her husband's anxious face, she suddenly felt a surge of triumph.

My lord, watch me!

Thinking of this, Bai Suzhen took out a slightly larger jade bottle and poured her own magic power into it.

A pool of clear water suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the jade bottle.

"My lord, don't think about those elixirs. What I have in this jade bottle is the miraculous water that can cure all diseases."

"Oh?"

Xu Xian took the jade bottle, opened the stopper, and smelled it; it was indeed refreshing and delightful.

"My wife has truly exceeded my expectations."

Xu Xian picked up Bai Suzhen and carried her directly into the room.

"The laundry hasn't dried yet, and dinner's still in the pot..."

Xu Xian ignored her, simply closing the door and blowing out the candles.

When Xiaoqing returned home, there was no sound from the room.

Xiaoqing sniffed it, then frowned and scolded, "Hmph, shameless!"

Then they started hanging up the clothes and set out the food.

The next day, a long line formed in front of Xu Xian's house, all of them patients with palm sores.

There were many medical clinics in Hangzhou, but they all believed that these patients were infected with the plague and dared not examine them.

Only Xu Xian gave the woman some hope.

Therefore, they are all gathered here today.

Xu Xian took out a jade bottle, poured the water inside into a large bucket, and then instructed Xiaoqing to take out many towels, soak them in water, and apply them to the patient.

Xiaoqing was unhappy with Xu Xian ordering her around, but she knew this was not the time to throw a tantrum.

She just kept pouting while she worked.

Bai Suzhen was even more diligent; by the time Xu Xian spoke, she had already soaked a large amount of towel.

Xu Xian and Xiao Qing distributed towels to everyone so they could wipe their sores.

The patients immediately took action.

The cool, refreshing sensation seeped into my palm and actually relieved most of the pain and itching.

Even the pustules healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Amazing! Dr. Xu's medical skills are truly miraculous!"

"A miracle doctor!"

"Dr. Xu, please accept my bow!"

……

After working for most of the day, Xu Xian and his two companions finally cured all the patients of the toad spirit's poison.

Xu Xian's name became famous throughout Hangzhou!

Not only are his medical skills excellent, but he is also very compassionate.

The people of the city admired him greatly.

Xu Xian ate lunch at home, and Bai Suzhen shyly suggested that her husband take a nap.

Xu Xian calculated the time and carried Bai Suzhen into the room.

Half a day later, he left home feeling refreshed, carrying a small medicine basket on his back and heading straight out of Hangzhou!

Not far from the outskirts of Hangzhou, a young man, half-covered in blood, lay unconscious on a hillside.

—Yang Xiong!

He will rise to the rank of Left Commander in the future, fighting demons with the body of a mortal!
