Clearly, he was still holding a grudge against Xia Guanxue for his previous defeat, where he was defeated by Sword Qi that surged from underground. So this time, he used the same method to win, turning the tables on her.

Xia Guanxue stood up, spat out a mouthful of blood, and said, "This time you only had the advantage of being caught off guard. Now I understand your strength, and you won't be so lucky next time."

Ying Zhou withdrew his demonic power and sneered, "Very well, let's have another match tomorrow and see who has the last laugh."

Just as Xia Guanxue was about to agree, Murong Wu suddenly reached out and pressed on his injured chest, causing him to gasp in pain.

"No, your injuries will take at least three days to heal, and you are not allowed to fight anyone for three days."

After examining Xia Guanxue's injuries, Murong Wu frowned and turned to say, "Brother Ying Zhou, it was just a friendly spar, you went too far, even breaking her ribs."

"Using your full strength is the only way to show respect to your opponent. Besides, it's normal for men to have some injuries. Masculinity is only shown when you're hurt," Ying Zhou said dismissively.

"Alright, then I won't treat your illnesses or injuries anymore, so you can be more manly, brother." As a doctor, Murong Wu naturally couldn't accept such fallacies and heresies.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Ying Zhou panicked a little. The injuries he sustained while practicing martial arts were only able to heal so quickly thanks to Murong Wu's treatment. After all, the "Brahma Sea Asura Art" is also a body-refining method, which is very harmful to the body. Especially when you want to achieve rapid progress, you will inevitably cause damage to your body. In the past few years, without Murong Wu's care, either his strength would be far behind what it is now, or he would have developed a lot of hidden injuries.

After weighing the pros and cons, he could only reluctantly say, "Alright, I promise you, next time I fight this guy, I'll try my best to show mercy and spare his life."

Xia Guanxue scoffed and said, "I don't need your subordinates—"

Murong Wu took out a lump of bright green ointment and pressed it onto Xia Guanxue's wound. He then channeled his inner energy into her body, causing Xia Guanxue to gasp in pain from this brutal action, rendering her unable to utter any further harsh words.

As the saying goes, "When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. "Xia Guanxue thought for a moment and told herself that there was no need to lower herself to that kid's level. An adult should have the demeanor of an adult. After all, she was of the same generation as Si Ming. If she kept fighting with Si Ming's underlings, wouldn't she have wasted her generation? So she swallowed her words.

"Alright, I won't remove the palm strike that's penetrated deep into your body. You'll need to circulate your internal energy faster. For the next three days, don't fight anyone or practice swordsmanship. Just focus on cultivating your Internal Cultivation."

After Murong Wu gave his medical orders, Si Ming stepped forward and asked, "Has Senior Ba's condition improved?"

"It still doesn't work, and another method failed as well," Murong Wu shook his head. "I found several Spirit Transformation seniors to heal Senior War God, trying to restore his power before detoxifying him, but his power could only be restored to 50% at most. After that, any further increase in True Qi would be quickly devoured by the fiery energy in his meridians."

"Is there no way to force these fiery energies into a corner?"

"It could have been possible, but after being poisoned, Senior War God engaged in a life-or-death battle with the Military God, fully activating his Cultivation Body and even releasing the suppression of the poison. This caused the cold and hot poison to flow throughout his meridians, and now it's too late to control it. It's only because Senior War God has a deep Foundation that he can still retain 50% of his power. If it were an ordinary Spirit Transformation Grandmaster, their Qi Sea would probably be completely devoured, and they wouldn't even be able to retain 10% of their power."

"So now we can only wait for a Spirit Transformation expert who cultivates cold-attribute Internal Cultivation to come and help?"

Si Ming felt quite helpless. The initial treatment plan was for him to eliminate the cold poison in Ba Shenhuang's body, while the remaining heat poison could be dealt with by Ba Shenhuang after he recovered his strength. However, everyone guessed wrong. Ba Shenhuang was not poisoned by two kinds of poison. He was actually only poisoned by one kind of poison. However, this poison had both cold and heat attributes. Therefore, it was meaningless to treat only one attribute. Even if the cold poison was eliminated in a short time, it would soon reappear.

The Military God first poisoned Ba Shenhuang with the Death Poison, then activated it with his own Pale Flame. Once you understand the cause and effect, it's easy to be misled into thinking that the cold poison in Ba Shenhuang's body is the Death Poison, and the hot poison is the Pale Flame. But in reality, the Death Poison and the Pale Flame fused together, causing a mutation and transforming into a new poison. Its toxicity cycles between cold and hot, endlessly.

To forcibly detoxify using Internal Cultivation energy, it requires the combined efforts of a martial artist with fire-attribute Internal Cultivation and a martial artist with cold-attribute Internal Cultivation to simultaneously eliminate both the cold and heat toxins without leaving any residue. Moreover, their Internal Cultivation must reach a considerably high level.

Many people cultivate cold-attribute Internal Cultivation, but unfortunately none of them meet the requirements. In addition to the level of Internal Cultivation, the strength of True Qi must also be high enough. After all, this is to heal the War God, so one must at least have the strength to threaten the War God of War. According to Si Ming's estimation, even if his martial uncle Ling Huanxi came, it might not be possible.

"The Military God has meticulously prepared for many years, and the methods he used to deal with the War God are indeed not so easy to counter," Si Ming couldn't help but sigh.

"Actually, there's another way," Murong Wu suddenly said.

What method?

"Since there are no suitable martial artists, we might as well use heavenly materials and earthly treasures as a substitute. Although they lack the sustainability of Internal Cultivation, as long as they contain enough cold-attribute spiritual energy, they can work in conjunction with your Internal Cultivation, Brother Si Ming, to detoxify us in one fell swoop."

"Cold is a type of spiritual power, so does that mean I need something like Heavenly Snow Lotus or Thousand-Year-Old Mystic Ice?"

"Inanimate objects like thousand-year-old ice won't do. It can only be used to forge divine weapons or Law Treasures. Since we are healing people, it must be a living thing, either a plant or an animal. Snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains is acceptable, but it must be old enough, at least five hundred years old, and the more the better," Murong Wu explained.

"If there really were a five-hundred-year-old Tianshan snow lotus, it would have been picked long ago for cultivation. How could it be our turn? Let alone five hundred years, even a fifty-year-old one would cause people to fight tooth and nail for it. Even Spirit Transformation Grandmaster would be tempted." Si Ming had no hope for this.

"I don't know where to find 500-year-old Tian Shan snow lotus, but I do know where to find 500-year-old Snow Mountain Lingzhi."

"Oh, there really is! Where is it?"

"Medicine King Valley is the largest sect of Medical School, and one of the oldest sects to date. My master told me that they have a Spirit Plant garden called 'Forget-the-Years Garden,' which is dedicated to cultivating rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures of great age. If any disciples discover heavenly materials and earthly treasures outside, they will transplant them into this garden for cultivation. It is stipulated that they cannot be taken out for consumption unless absolutely necessary, and especially not used to assist in cultivation. Therefore, there are still quite a few ancient rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures that have been preserved. The Snow Mountain Lingzhi I just mentioned is one of them."

"Medicine King Valley, Medical School, Su Kingdom!"

The three names flashed through Si Ming's mind like lightning. He quickly pulled Murong Wu into the war room and, before the generals who were discussing military strategy could ask, pointed to the sand table and asked, "Could Medicine King Valley be located here?"

Murong Wu examined the sand table for a while; there were still quite a few differences between it and the map. After comparing it with his memory, he slowly nodded and said, "That's right, it is indeed here."

"So that's how it is. No wonder the Demon Race left Nation of Valor and headed north. They really wanted to invade the Su Kingdom, not just use it as a pretext..." Si Ming sighed in frustration, "This is troublesome."

Murong Wu immediately understood and exclaimed in surprise, "The Demon Race is going to attack Medicine King Valley?"

"I'm pretty sure it was the suggestion from the Military God Huang Yan. He personally concocted the poison, so he must know how to cure it. He plugged the loophole in advance, preventing us from having a chance."

"Then, what do we do?"

"We have no choice but to find another way. Although I really want to rush to the aid of Medicine King Valley, I'm afraid that the Military God will use the same old trick again to lure me away. If this place is left unguarded, the consequences will be dire if the Demon Emperor attacks... Sigh, why hasn't the Mohist School sent reinforcements yet? It's clearly an extremely urgent situation, yet they're dragging their feet like this."

Just as Si Ming was feeling troubled, a deep, resonant voice suddenly came from outside the door. "The reinforcements from the Su State haven't arrived, but the Mohist School's helpers have."

Chapter 813 Polonium Poison Primordial Spirit Body

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Si Ming immediately recognized it and exclaimed joyfully, "Uncle-Master, you've come!"

The newcomer was none other than Xiao Xuan, with a dignified and solemn square face, a body as upright as a flagpole, and strong, angular features. Every step he took gave people the heavy feeling of a giant walking on the earth, and his appearance alone could give his comrades a strong sense of security.

"The Demon Emperor's birth has plunged the world into chaos. This is a calamity that will determine the fate of Human Race. How can I, Xiao, remain unscathed?"

Xiao Xuan's answer was a typical example of Mohist School thought: taking the affairs of the world as one's own affairs and the suffering of the people as one's own suffering. In Earth terms, it would be a great spirit of internationalist dedication.

When faced with great calamity, the first people people think of are not the Confucian School who believe in "cultivating one's own virtue when poor," nor the Daoist School who believe in "not doing anything to benefit the world even if it means plucking a single hair," nor the Legalist School who believe in "all governance is based on punishment," but rather the Mohist School who believe in "dying for the benefit of the world without hesitation." They are the most famous fools in the world.

"Demonic tides have broken out in various parts of the Su State, totaling no less than 500,000. According to intelligence, even the Demon King and their leaders have been slowed down."
