Chapter 262: A Method to Eliminate the Poison Technique

When he arrived, he descended from the sky; when he left, he walked out the front door in broad daylight.

Fang Shaoyi and Fang Yuying personally saw them to the door, watching Chen Che and the others leave until they were out of sight.

No sooner had Chen Che and his group emerged from the Fang Family estate than Shen Qi, who was responsible for the pickup, trotted over and asked anxiously, "Master, how are you?"

Chen Che shook his head and instructed, "Arrange a quiet place."

"Yes."

Shen Qi acknowledged the order and stepped back. Chen Che walked toward a car, but the Puppet, who had been following at the very back of the crowd, suddenly dashed forward and pulled open the rear door. Cheng Kexin climbed out from inside the car, holding something that looked like a remote control handle.

"Little Junior Brother!"

"Sixth Senior Sister!"

Chen Che and Cheng Kexin spoke in unison, both of their faces filled with excitement.

Cheng Kexin hopped over to hug him, patting his back in reproach as she said, "You brat, you really know how to stir up trouble! You didn't even tell me when something this big happened! If Tang Ying hadn't sent me a message, and if I hadn't happened to be with your Third and Fourth Senior Sisters, you really wouldn't have been able to get out of the Fang Family tonight!"

Chen Che was startled. So it was Tang Ying who had told Cheng Kexin; no wonder they had appeared just in time.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Li Qingyan's gloomy face appeared quietly, staring fixedly at the two of them embracing. "There are outsiders here, you know... Lao Liu, a hug is enough to get the point across."

Cheng Kexin laughed and said, "Senior Sister, are you jealous? It's no use being jealous; I'm going to hug him."

As she spoke, Cheng Kexin wrapped her arms even tighter around Chen Che's neck.

"Ouch, my temper!"

Li Qingyan rolled up her sleeves, ready to forcibly pull the two of them apart.

Song Jinhe spoke up at this moment: "Alright, stop messing around. This is no place for catching up; we can talk about things later."

"Um, I had Shen Qi arrange a place to stay. Let's go there first; I happen to have a lot of things I want to ask you all."

Chen Che pulled Cheng Kexin away and said.

Li Qingyan looked at Su Xiao, who was standing to the side, and said, "You come along too. I see you have an extraordinary bone structure; there's something I happen to need your help with."

Su Xiao looked bewildered. She glanced at Chen Che before nodding and replying, "Okay."

The group got into the car and left, arriving at a large flat apartment arranged by Shen Qi.

Chen Che and Su Xiao took quick showers, changed out of their dirty combat clothes, and tidied up a bit.

Afterward, the two men and four women sat in a circle and held a small meeting.

"Senior Sisters, how did you all happen to be together?"

Chen Che was the first to speak and ask.

Cheng Kexin tapped Chen Che on the head and said, "You really need to thank Tang Ying properly for this. I've heard all about it; she almost lost her life for your sake! If she hadn't told me in time, I wouldn't have known you had investigated so deeply."

At the thought of Tang Ying, a wave of guilt rose in Chen Che's heart, and he nodded, saying, "I know."

Cheng Kexin straightened her clothes and said seriously, "It was a coincidence. Third Senior Sister found Fourth Senior Sister abroad and they only just returned a few days ago. They said they had found a way to help you detoxify, and since they happened to be passing through Shanghai, we all gathered together. I didn't expect to receive Tang Ying's message right then."

"Then can my Great Red Sun Poison be cured at the root?"

Chen Che asked again.

Li Qingyan was gripping one of Su Xiao's fair arms, taking her pulse with meticulous care. Hearing Chen Che's question, she said, "Oh, there is a way, but a complete cure is a bit difficult."

Li Qingyan let go of Su Xiao's arm and said, "Last time you asked if there was a way to use an Array to seal the Great Red Sun Poison; Fourth Senior Sister and I have studied it, and there is indeed a way."

Song Jinhe toyed with a scroll, her eyes admiringly sizing up Chen Che. This was the first time the senior sister and junior brother had met, even though Li Qingyan had long since praised Chen Che to the heavens, especially regarding his looks.

Yet, seeing him in person, Song Jinhe still felt that Li Qingyan's flowery praise didn't even amount to one ten-thousandth of Chen Che's actual appearance.

"There is a method, but it's missing a little something."

Song Jinhe spread out the scroll and pointed to a snowflake-like pattern on it, saying, "I found this in an ancient text. It can seal foreign substances within the human body, but considering the Great Red Sun Poison is a poison technique, it would still exist even if sealed..."

Li Qingyan took over: "So we thought of a way to use Medicine and the Mysterious Gate Dunjia Technique together to eliminate the toxins in your body!"

Chen Che scanned the snowflake pattern with his eyes and asked, "Can it really be done?"

"Theoretically, yes. But the Array Diagram in this ancient text is obscure and difficult to understand. I've only grasped about seventy or eighty percent of it, so I still need to go into seclusion to study it further."

Song Jinhe slowly rolled up the scroll, though her gaze remained fixed on Chen Che.

Li Qingyan bumped her intentionally, as if warning her to be careful not to let her drool fall, and said, "Besides, I'm still missing one medicinal ingredient: Zhu Yin Grass."

"In other words, as long as we find the Zhu Yin Grass and master the ancient Array, we can eliminate the Great Red Sun Poison in Chen Che's body?"

Cheng Kexin asked.

"No."

Song Jinhe and Li Qingyan said in unison.

"………"

"The Great Red Sun Poison is a poison technique; there is no antidote. Not to mention that Zhu Que is dead now, and even if he weren't, he couldn't have undone it."

Li Qingyan explained, "Our approach is simple: the Great Red Sun Poison is dominated by Yang, so we will use Yin Cold energy to counter it."

"Once I find the Zhu Yin Grass, I will have all the necessary ingredients. I will boil them into a medicinal bath for Chen Che to soak in. Then, Fourth Senior Sister will perform the ancient Array to confine all the toxins together. The final step—the most crucial step—is for someone with a Yin Cold Body to channel their cold energy into Chen Che's body to extinguish the Great Red Sun Poison."

"Sounds pretty reliable."

Cheng Kexin looked at Li Qingyan and Song Jinhe and said, "But none of these steps have been completed yet. The Array hasn't been comprehended, the Zhu Yin Grass hasn't been found, and most importantly, where are we going to find someone with a Yin Cold Body?"

Chen Che and Li Qingyan both looked up at the same time and turned their gaze toward Su Xiao.

Su Xiao was startled and said in a low voice, "I have a Yin Cold Body."

"Uh..."

Cheng Kexin, Song Jinhe, and Shen Qi all looked at Su Xiao with expressions of astonishment.

"You are...?"

Cheng Kexin asked the question that Li Qingyan and Song Jinhe both wanted to ask but hadn't had the chance to yet.

"My name is Su Xiao, and I am from the Su Family..."

Su Xiao gave a rough self-introduction and also briefly explained the process of how she met Chen Che.

Of course, out of selfishness, she did not say that she had once been Fang Shaokun's wife, but instead described it as having been forcibly abducted.

Chen Che sensed her intentions but did not say much, which made Su Xiao's heart warm involuntarily.

"That's great then, since that's the case, let's hurry up and find the Zhu Yin Grass and comprehend the ancient texts."

Cheng Kexin said happily.

"……Actually, it won't work."

Li Qingyan poured cold water on the idea, saying: "I just confirmed it; she is indeed a Yin Cold Body, but her realm is only a Postnatal Grandmaster. The Great Red Sun Poison inside Chen Che has accumulated for a long time, and for so many years it has been constantly fighting against the True Qi in his body, so if she were at the Earth Master Realm, there would still be hope of completely eliminating the poison."

"Even if it can't be completely eliminated, eliminating a portion of the poison is always possible, right?"

Su Xiao asked proactively.

Li Qingyan examined Su Xiao's face carefully, then looked at Chen Che, suddenly smiled meaningfully, put her arm around Su Xiao's shoulder, and said: "I understand your feelings, but the Great Red Sun Poison is a poison technique, not a virus; it cannot be treated slowly like other illnesses, it needs to be done in one go."

"Oh……"

Su Xiao looked dejected, feeling frustrated and annoyed that she could not help Chen Che.

"But there's no need to be dejected."

Li Qingyan comforted her: "Although people with special constitutions all have upper limits to their cultivation realms, perhaps your limit isn't Postnatal Grandmaster, but Earth Master?"

Su Xiao's eyes regained their brightness: "That makes sense, I will definitely work hard at cultivation! I'll strive to rise to the Earth Master Realm!"

"Tsk tsk, it really is the power of love!"

Li Qingyan teased sarcastically on purpose.

Su Xiao was stunned, and immediately turned bright red: "I'm going to the restroom!"

Su Xiao left in a hurry, and Li Qingyan pinched Chen Che, chiding: "Not bad, your ability to pick up girls has grown again!"

Chen Che spread his hands innocently: "The two of us really just have a pure comradeship!"

"The ghost believes you!"

Li Qingyan pinched Chen Che's waist hard again, and Cheng Kexin also knocked on his head with an unhappy expression.

Song Jinhe coughed a few times and said: "Alright, Third Sister and I will think of a way regarding the Great Red Sun Poison; now let's talk about the Martial Arts Alliance."
