Xia Xiao was lying on a wooden couch that wasn't too cold. When he looked up, he saw a few wind chimes.

This wind chime that swayed in the lantern light but made no sound was not a handicraft strung together by a girl, but a special item. Xia Xiao could sense its mystery from the fluctuations it emitted, but on the surface it looked only delicate, without much decoration to add color to it.

At first glance, Xia Xiao was attracted, and felt that a different breath was drilling into his brain, and gradually going deeper until it reached the deepest point.

Soon, a refreshing feeling made Xia Xiao's brain no longer drowsy, and his whole body became comfortable, as if he had just stepped out of a quagmire and the mud on his body was washed away. The feeling of having nothing on his body was very light, but when he opened his mouth, Xia Xiao still couldn't make any sound, as if he had lost the ability to speak.

At least his health was getting better, so Xia Xiao looked around calmly and optimistically. He had never been here before and didn't know where this strange place was. But he knew he was back at the academy when he smelled the familiar smell in the air. As long as he was back at the academy, he would feel more at ease.

The smell of the academy is easy to identify, beyond the secular world, second only to the fairyland. There are countless courtyards in the small town on the mountainside, and Xia Xiao has only been to one percent of them. At this moment, he really can't recognize who this courtyard is related to.

To Xia Xiao's left is the house, which is simple with many flowers and plants and filled with the fragrance of medicine. There are a few trees planted in the courtyard on the right, and there are several rows of land in the corner with seedlings planted. It is a beautiful pastoral scenery. Even at night, the scenery is good, and it would be even better if there were stars in the sky.

There was no one here, so Xia Xiao sat there, staring at the courtyard in a daze. He was wearing a wide robe, and gradually realized where he was. Although he did not have unparalleled abilities, he was still an important person. Now that something happened, it should be the legendary miracle doctor who treated him.

Xia Xiao had seen the old man when he was competing with the disciples of the five major forces in Changbai Mountain. He was extremely proud and never showed up except when he was treating people. Now he had the honor of meeting him, which was great. No one wanted to be injured and suffer, but this could be considered a blessing in disguise.

Looking at the night sky, the nights in the academy are rarely without stars, but the tranquility awakened Xia Xiao's laziness, making him sit for a long time without moving. When he was hungry, Xia Xiao wanted to get up to find something to eat and tell his senior that he was awake.

Whenever there was something to do with food, Xia Xiao would think of Ah Zhu, wondering if she had come back. Xia Xiao vaguely felt that she had come back, but it was also hard work for her. If it hadn't been for this unknown accident, she should have eaten the roasted rabbit with him and fell asleep in great satisfaction.

"It's late at night. You'll catch a cold if you walk around barefoot. Come back and sit down!"

Xia Xiao had walked to the center of the courtyard and was about to turn toward the doorway on one side, but he saw an old man with white hair and long flowing beard sitting next to the quilt he had been using before, so he hurried back. Xia Xiao had not even folded the quilt before, which was really rude, and when he was about to speak, he could only bow to express his apology.

Because he didn't know whether the miracle doctor knew about his condition, Xia Xiao pointed to his mouth, indicating that he couldn't speak. His sign language was all random, but the old man could understand it, so he said casually:

"I know about your condition. Ah Zhu told me everything. Come and have dinner. She made it especially for you."

The old man spread out his hands, and on the tray there was a bowl, a plate, and a dish. The bowl was filled with corn porridge, the plate was filled with two round, steaming white steamed buns, and the dish was filled with a few pickled radishes. The shapes were obvious at a glance, as Ah Zhu had the habit of cutting with fancy knives.

After bowing, Xia Xiao sat beside the miracle doctor, took the tray from him, and picked up the warm porridge. After two mouthfuls, Xia Xiao felt very good, as if he had come back from the brink of death.

"You eat your food, and I'll tell you about the current situation."

Xia Xiao nodded heavily and took a bite of the steamed bun. Azhu's cooking skills were indeed good, but he didn't know that she cooked while crying.

"You have been poisoned. After repeated judgments, I think it is related to Yaowang Valley. We will go there tomorrow. I have obtained Dimuli's approval and will bring Ah Zhu with me. But you must control your emotions and try not to get emotional, so as to avoid similar situations."

Affection?

Xia Xiao had already noticed this, but it was ridiculous that his affection for Ah Zhu would exacerbate his illness. The genius doctor saw through his thoughts and said unhappily:

"Everything has life, and life has reincarnation. God breaks this principle, so nothing does not exist. Even if you don't think about yourself, think about Ah Zhu and control your emotions. Otherwise, if she cries again, you have to comfort her yourself. I'm almost annoyed these days."

It seems that I was in a coma for more than half a day. Thinking about it this way, Ah Zhu must have suffered. The doctor was still nagging. He was not like this usually, but Ah Zhu had really worn him out these days.

"If I hadn't told you to rest, she wouldn't have left. After you finally left, she came back to deliver food a short while later. She refused to sleep without even looking at you. She's really troublesome! Oh, by the way, I said it, but don't let your imagination run wild. If the poison relapses, you might end up like a piece of wood in the yard, standing there for the rest of your life, unable to move on your own."

Xia Xiao concentrated his mind and calmed down, having the confidence not to be emotional. Although this required a fight with his brain, he could control his emotions through the constant subconsciousness. Compared to these, he had something he wanted to ask, but he just couldn't ask it, which made him feel uncomfortable. Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Xia Xiao stretched out his fingers and wrote a word in the air in front of him with his energy, but before he could write two words, the doctor said:

"I don't know about the war between Daxia and Nanshang, but after the poison is cured, you can go wherever you want, I have no right to control you. But I don't know how long the treatment will take, so I can't give you a definite answer. Boy, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Although I am respected as a miracle doctor, this kind of poison is the first time I have seen it. And you are alive until now, thanks to the blessing of the four spirit beasts in your body. If you only have one contracted beast, you can't withstand such a strong poison."

"Pharmacists will study poisons in order to detoxify them, and I am no exception. There are over 100,000 poisons in the Great Wilderness, and I have mastered them all. But this thing should be a foreign object, because there has never been a similar record in the ancient books of the Great Wilderness, and the poison has no characteristics, and there is not even the slightest sign of poisoning you. If I hadn't discovered similar cases in the past, I wouldn't dare to be sure that it was poison. If an ordinary person was poisoned by this poison, the situation might be a hundred or a thousand times worse."

The more Xia Xiao listened, the more he couldn't help but sigh at the strength of his life. However, the strongest being in Yaowang Valley was only Qu Lun, who was not even as tall as the sky, but had a poison that was enough to make the senior helpless. It was really shocking. However, it should be the same as what the senior said, it was an alien, but it was unknown whether it came from the sky or from the south of the South China Sea. However, since there were previous cases, there was a way to solve it, Xia Xiao believed it for the time being.

"Is this the first time you've felt this way?"

Xia Xiao raised three fingers, causing the doctor to curl his lips and smile, laughing at Xia Xiao's strength, but also with a bitter face. This poison is so mysterious, if he is hit, he may fall into an extremely embarrassing situation. It is already good that Xia Xiao can do this, not to mention ordinary people, even powerful practitioners may not be able to resist it.

"Rest early after eating, don't let your mind wander, and the most important thing is to adjust your mentality and maintain a good mood."

Xia Xiao nodded, and only realized after he finished eating the steamed buns that there seemed to be a little sugar in them, which made the aftertaste linger on his teeth for a long time. But when he simply cleaned up and lay down to sleep again, Ah Zhu in the small white building was still not asleep. She hadn't slept well for three nights. Although she knew that Xia Xiao's fainting had nothing to do with her, and even learned from her predecessors that Xia Xiao's poison was likely to be given by the people of Medicine King Valley during the competition, she was still worried and couldn't sleep.

Ah Zhu was accustomed to falling into dreams that were like horror fairy tales with tears in her eyes. Doudou was held in her arms, and the hot tears became its nightmare, making it feel uncomfortable all over. But it was forced to be wiped away by Ah Zhu, and it dared not say a word.

Gradually, Ah Zhu's movements became quieter, and the strength to hold her became weaker. Doudou did not pull away, but was afraid that she would wake Ah Zhu up, so she stayed in her arms obediently without moving.

The bright eyes glanced up and saw Ah Zhu's not-so-thick double chin. She should have been happy, but she was worried about Xia Xiao. As long as Xia Xiao didn't recover, Ah Zhu wouldn't be able to recover. He was sulking these days, and Doudou didn't even dare to breathe. Ah Zhu didn't get hurt, but he was about to give up.

After a night like this, Doudou's legs were numb, but he still hopped and staggered to see Ah Zhu off in the early morning. He barked twice, as if to remind Ah Zhu, who looked at him and nodded solemnly, then quietly waited for the talisman array to be activated and appear.
