Peerless Medical Emperor

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Divine Fire Pill

’That thought I just had was so indecent.’

’If Chen Qingdi found out what I was thinking, he’d laugh me to death!’

"Ah, this is so embarrassing!"

Ye Shi Yi scratched her head in utter frustration.

「Meanwhile.」

In another room, Chen Qingdi stood before a black Pill Furnace, continuously adding firewood to it.

And this was no ordinary firewood; each piece was Qing Chai, worth over two thousand each.

Chen Qingdi had sent Chen Yuan and the others to get this firewood from the Divine Medicine Hall.

When he first arrived in Jinghai, the Divine Medicine Hall had been constantly trying to find him.

However, Chen Qingdi didn’t have time to meet with them.

He could only send his subordinates to negotiate for him and request some Qing Chai for his Alchemy.

Watching the roaring flames in the Pill Furnace, Chen Qingdi saw his moment and threw the Fire Fruit and Red Sun Grass inside.

The Fire Fruit and Red Sun Grass could be refined into a Divine Fire Pill.

The purpose of this elixir was, naturally, to integrate the cold qi and bring the patient’s yin and yang energies into balance!

Although he had suppressed much of the cold qi in Ye Shi Yi’s body, there was no guarantee it wouldn’t suddenly erupt one day.

When that happened, the long-accumulated cold qi would surge toward all the major acupoints in her body.

The patient would either explode from the pressure of the cold qi or suffer a cultivation deviation.

How could Chen Qingdi bear to let that happen to Ye Shi Yi!

So, this time, he was determined to cure Ye Shi Yi completely.

BOOM!

The Pill Furnace suddenly flashed with a golden light, and the lid shot off, slamming against the wall.

Chen Qingdi slowly walked over for a look and was greeted by a rich medicinal fragrance.

And this aroma was the unique scent of the Divine Fire Pill!

"Not bad! It’s the Divine Fire Pill, no doubt about it."

"A success! The refinement was a success!"

Greatly excited, Chen Qingdi took out a Divine Fire Pill and walked to Ye Shi Yi’s room.

Pushing open the door, he saw Ye Shi Yi sleeping in a very sensual position.

The sight made Chen Qingdi’s whole body heat up, and he immediately began to recite the Ice Heart Technique.

"The sky may fall, but my heart remains serene."

After chanting for a while, the strange, distracting thoughts in Chen Qingdi’s mind were finally suppressed.

Chen Qingdi walked over, shook her awake, and had her take the Divine Fire Pill.

After Ye Shi Yi swallowed the Divine Fire Pill, her entire body turned beet red and grew intensely hot.

"Qingdi, it’s so hot... I’m so hot."

"What’s happening? Why is my body so hot?"

Ye Shi Yi said to Chen Qingdi, at a complete loss.

’What’s going on?’

Chen Qingdi was also a bit baffled. Logically, the Divine Fire Pill did have side effects.

’But they shouldn’t be like this, right?’

At this thought, Chen Qingdi immediately took out three silver needles and inserted them into Ye Shi Yi’s Purple Mansion, Tiantan, and Zhongguan acupoints.

Piercing these three major acupoints was meant to expel the excess yang energy from her body.

The human body is all about yin-yang balance, but Ye Shi Yi’s current state was as if she had taken an aphrodisiac.

Her face grew hotter and hotter, her consciousness blurred, and she threw herself at Chen Qingdi.

Chen Qingdi caught her in his arms, and a fresh fragrance instantly filled his nostrils.

’So fragrant!’

Looking at the delirious Ye Shi Yi, Chen Qingdi thought, ’She must be having a cultivation deviation. I have to find a solution quickly.’

Then, Chen Qingdi formed a finger seal with one hand and tapped one of her acupoints.

"Shi Yi, you need to calm down."

After Chen Qingdi’s tap, Ye Shi Yi immediately fell into a deep sleep.

What Chen Qingdi had just pressed was her sleep acupoint. Given her current state, this was the only option.

Otherwise, if this dragged on, there was no telling what Ye Shi Yi might do!

Chen Qingdi took her slender hand and casually checked her pulse.

After finding her pulse to be normal, he breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems I’ll have to find a way to reduce the side effects next time I refine a Divine Fire Pill. It’ll be a real hassle if this happens again."

Chen Qingdi said with a sense of helplessness, then walked out the door.

Sitting on the sofa, Chen Qingdi gave a slight cough.

Chen Yuan immediately appeared behind him and handed him a stack of reports.

"Young Master, this is all the information on the organization you requested. Please review it."

Chen Qingdi nodded and, after waving her away, began to read.

But when he saw one particular file, he froze on the spot.

Celestial Ninja Group.

One of Japan’s top ten assassination organizations. Previously assassinated the Chen Family’s young madam—Bai Qingxue. Successful.

RUMBLE!

Seeing this name, Chen Qingdi instantly flew into a rage, and a powerful aura erupted from his body!

Bai Qingxue was his mother’s name!

He had originally thought that the ones who murdered his mother back then were just those people from Kyoto.

But he never expected that among his mother’s assassins were not only the four major organizations but also a foreign assassination group!

At this thought, the killing intent radiating from Chen Qingdi could no longer be contained.

’Those families in Kyoto absolutely cannot be spared!’

’They must pay for their blood debt with blood!’

’And the Celestial Ninja Group must be annihilated. Otherwise, how could he face his mother in the underworld?’

"Yi Xuesha!"

Chen Qingdi roared, and Yi Xuesha immediately appeared before him.

"Your servant is here. Please give your orders, Master!"

Yi Xuesha knelt on one knee before Chen Qingdi, answering him with loyalty.

"Where are your organization’s branches?"

"Mark them out for me now. I’m going to wipe them all out, leaving none behind!"

Chen Qingdi demanded on the spot, his tone filled with a domineering and unquestionable authority.

Seeing Chen Qingdi like this, Yi Xuesha trembled in fear, not daring to look up at him. She stammered, "Reporting to Master, the two branches I know of are... in Jinghai and Chuzhou. The other branches are scattered throughout Huaxia."

Hearing Yi Xuesha’s answer, Chen Qingdi said nothing and simply stood up.

"Get the car ready! Yi Xuesha, you will lead the way!"

With that, Chen Qingdi strode out without a backward glance.

「Antons Five-Star Hotel.」

A luxurious stretch limousine pulled up to the entrance.

Chen Qingdi, dressed in a well-fitting suit, stepped out of the car. Yi Xuesha stood guard by his side, acting as his bodyguard.

"Master, this is the Celestial Ninja Group’s Jinghai branch. The head of this branch is named Yamazawa Yota, a master of the Ninja Saint Level. You must be extremely careful."

Yi Xuesha said to Chen Qingdi with great caution.

"Ninja Saint?"

Chen Qingdi asked doubtfully.

Seeing his confusion, Yi Xuesha quickly replied, "Reporting to Master, that is what we in Japan call Martial Artists. A Ninja Saint in our country is equivalent to what you in Huaxia call a Martial Sect!"

Hearing this, Chen Qingdi immediately understood.
