Mingyue thought about this problem seriously, and the conclusion was that it wouldn't work. It would be better to heal the person and have the other party prepare a banquet for her.

Seeing how serious Mingyue was, Han Qi's expression turned solemn. "I understand, Doctor Ming. I will go again in person and deliver the Jade Bone Wood to you before dusk."

I've already received a reply about the Dragon Yang Grass; all that's left is the Jade Bone Wood.

Hasegawa's message was that they wanted to exchange something, but besides the snow lotus fruit they gave to Mingyue, they had no other treasures to exchange for, unless they handed over the incomplete treasure map.

This treasure was originally divided into six parts, with each of the five factions holding one part, while the whereabouts of the remaining part remain unknown.

If the Five Tigers Sect loses this incomplete treasure map, when the sixth copy is found, everyone else will automatically assume that one less person means one less share of the spoils.

However, in Han Qi's opinion, whether the treasure map was real or fake was another matter, and who knew if the sixth incomplete map was still around.

How could an inanimate object compare to a living one? Han Qi took the item directly to the Changgu Sect, consulted with the sect leader, and decided to give the item to the Changgu Sect first, so he could get the Jade Bone Wood back first.

Han Qi kept his word. At dusk, he led the sect leader and a group of elders to carry Han Yuxuan to Mingyue's courtyard, where they took out Jade Bone Wood and Dragon Yang Grass respectively.

Mingyue took it, put the small stone mill she had prepared earlier on the table, and used the dagger to chop the two medicinal herbs into small pieces and put them into the stone mill to grind them into juice.

"Go prepare a large wooden tub and give him a medicinal bath in cool water," Mingyue said, glancing at the people in the courtyard. "We don't need so many people; it's too crowded."

The sect leader dismissed the others and instructed Han Qi to bring over wooden buckets, which he then personally filled with water, trip after trip.

Mingyue first sprinkled some herbs into it, and then poured in the medicinal juice from before. The crystal-clear water turned green in the blink of an eye.

Han Qi ripped off Han Yuxuan's shirt and threw him into the wooden tub.

Mingyue gave Han Qi an approving look, "You're quite sensible."

Han Qi smiled obsequiously, "Not at all, this is to avoid adding any burden to Doctor Ming."

The sect leader's words were hard to explain; it felt too incongruous for a senior to praise a junior when applied to these two.

Mingyue didn't even need to prepare; she finished tying Han Yuxuan's hair in a few strokes. "Make sure he doesn't get out of the tub; let him soak in it until the water fades."

"yes!"

Han Qi and the sect leader stood guard, one in front and one behind, their expressions serious.

Mingyue stretched lazily, glanced at Su Yiren, and returned to her room after seeing that nothing was wrong.

Han Yuxuan was abruptly awakened by the scalding heat. He felt as if he were immersed in lava, his whole body burning hot, his face flushed, and he was panting heavily.

With his hands firmly gripping the sides of the wooden tub, Han Yuxuan would have jumped out if Han Qi and the sect leader hadn't been holding him down.

"Yu Xuan! You must hold on! The divine doctor said the water needs to fade before it's ready!"

Han Yuxuan lowered his head in pain, gritted his teeth upon hearing Han Qi's words, and endured the tearing pain and burning sensation in his dantian.

An hour later, Han Qi and the sect leader exchanged a glance. The black lines on Han Yuxuan's body began to fade. However, even they could feel the abnormal heat emanating from Han Yuxuan's body.

Sect Leader: "Just hang in there, it'll be over soon! It's been an hour already!"

Han Yuxuan nodded wearily, then suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood. His pupils were unfocused and he vaguely heard Elder Han go to call Doctor Ming.

He won't make it through, will he...?
