Chapter 93: Chapter 81: Why Bother Healing [First Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 93: Chapter 81: Why Bother Healing [First Update, Please Subscribe] He Bibiqu is absolutely not afraid of death.

But who would truly want to die if they could live?

Not to mention, He Bibiqu is fully aware that if his Ice and Snow Cold Poison could be completely cured, then it would truly be a shocking change that could alter the course of the intelligence war in Tiannan!

Wu Tiejun’s judgment was not wrong at all!

“What else did Mister Feng say?” He Bibiqu asked.

“He also talked about this operation…” Wu Tiejun lowered his voice.

He Bibiqu’s expression changed dramatically.

“We miscalculated one step.”

He Bibiqu sighed, “It seems that Miao Sensen’s arrangements have reached the worst stage we predicted.”

Suddenly he felt relieved, “Fortunately you didn’t set things in motion, otherwise the consequences would have spelt doom for Tiannan.”

Wu Tiejun was also breaking out in a sweat, “Yes, Sir. We owe it to Physician Feng this time.”

“This matter is urgent, it must be arranged and notified,” He Bibiqu’s expression was grave, he was about to leave immediately.

“Sir!” Wu Tiejun quickly stopped him.

“Mister Feng only said that you need to take the medicine as soon as possible, the efficacy of this batch of elixirs is the same as the previous one, but the aura inside the pill will gradually dissipate with time, so you need to take it as soon as possible.”

Wu Tiejun said, “After taking one, wait until it is fully catalyzed, then immediately take the second one, and then the third one. The gentleman repeatedly explained that you must not hesitate to use it. If you drag on, the medicinal power will only dissipate, causing yourself a loss.”

“We must not delay, in my opinion, it is best to take it now.”

He Bibiqu nodded, “Hmm, I understand. I’ll take it after I send out the notification.”

“Sir, you are not correct. That matter is not urgent at this moment, sir, please take it now. I’ll protect and guard you.”

Wu Tiejun stood by, with a posture of ‘I won’t leave if you don’t take the medicine’.

He Bibiqu sighed helplessly.

“Alright… thank you.”

He Bibiqu was never a person to drag his feet, and this stubborn guy definitely did as he said. With this fellow here, he wouldn’t have a chance to do other things.

Thus, he immediately took out one, peeled off the wax shell, and put it in his mouth.

This time, there was no probing, no wrapping the pill with his own spiritual energy, but instead, he directly released all his meridians, even the suppression of the Ice and Snow Cold Poison.

He completely activated the drug’s power, integrating the drug’s power with his own spiritual energy.

At the same time, the old ailment’s power, the explosive counterattack from the Ice and Snow Cold Poison after it lost its balance, surged like a limit explosion.

This was a necessary risk. The troublesome part of Ice and Snow Cold Poison was, besides its difficulty in being melted and dissolved, its explosive counterattack after losing balance. He Bibiqu must constantly suppress it with his own cultivation and power, as a result, he could only mobilize limited cultivation power, how could he talk about melting and dissolving the cold poison.

In fact, if it weren’t for the incomparable warm power emerging from his whole body at this moment, the running wild cold poison would have indeed instantly frozen He Bibiqu stiff, leading to his demise.

However, where there is a law, there are means to break it. Benefiting from the efficacy of the medicine, combined with He Bibiqu’s own spiritual power, the situation was reversed and He Bibiqu’s skill formed a powerful momentum, attacking the cold poison from all sides like a tidal wave smashing the bamboo.

In an instant, He Bibiqu’s body was like a world of ice and fire. One side of his body was covered in frost, the other side was steaming hot, like charcoal.

As time passed, the Ice and Snow Cold Poison slowly retreated, turning into a cold fog that evaporated from He Bibiqu’s body.

It was evident that the cold poison inside his body was dissolving in large quantities.

He Bibiqu was dripping with sweat, fully activating the pill’s power. He quickly judged that at least a quarter of the cold poison had been controlled and dissolved by himself. After several changes in his inner energy, a mouthful of blood mixed with ice and slush was spit out.

In a moment, the temperature in the study dropped sharply.

The hot tea on the desk, suddenly lost its temperature, quickly froze, and with a crisp sound, the teacup shattered, leaving only a block of ice standing on the table with tea leaves inside.

In this place, even a capable person like Wu Tiejun felt the cold and shivered uncontrollably.

Wu Tiejun reacted quickly, swiftly fetched a quilt from the side, wrapped the blood and ice slush in it, and packed it up.

He wanted to throw it away, but thinking that it would expose him, he threw it in the corner.

A strange sense of relaxation appeared on He Bibiqu’s face. He didn’t hesitate to take out the second pill and take it.

After a while, he spit out another mouthful of icy fresh blood.

The signs of ice and fire torment changed again at this moment. The area occupied by Ice and Snow Cold Poison visibly receded by more than half; initially, it occupied half of his body, but now it was less than a third.

The third pill, the fourth pill…

More and more cold poison was melted and forced out, gradually only the left shoulder and left arm were still occupied by a faint blue patch.

He Bibiqu took a deep breath, the flash of his blade sudden, and broke through the veins in his shoulder.

Inside his body, spiritual energy was furiously circulating, all his power converging at this point. In the blink of an eye, a stream of dark blue blood suddenly burst out of the wound.

This dark blue blood was caught by Wu Tiejun, who had prepared a bucket in advance, not a single drop was wasted.

With a successful cut on his hand, He Bibiqu then attacked his elbow, again causing dark blue blood to spurt out. He did it once more on his wrist…

In the end, only half of his palm was still occupied by the dark blue color, unable to be eradicated for the time being.

He Bibiqu slowly exhaled, and gradually ceased his efforts. Although his face was pallid from blood loss, his spirits were incredibly high, his eyes gleaming.

It was clear that the ailment which had plagued him for over thirty years had been almost completely cured in just a short while.

“Sir, how did you…” Wu Tiejun looked at the Ice and Snow Cold Poison on He Bibiqu’s half of a palm, full of confusion.

“The remaining poison is no longer a threat. As long as the Ice and Snow Cold Poison doesn’t persist in my internal organs, it can be expelled at any time.”

He Bibiqu said, “While instant healing would be best, it would be too wasteful.”

“Mister Feng mentioned that the effect of the elixir is time-limited, but it won’t dissipate much in a quarter of an hour. I plan to rest for a few days and recuperate my body to its best state. After regaining the lost blood and when my spirit and energy are at their peak, I will take the elixir again. Not only can I expel the remaining Ice and Snow Cold Poison, but I can also take advantage of the elixir’s spiritual effectiveness. Furthermore, I can combine my accumulated energy of thirty years and attempt to break through!”

In He Bibiqu’s voice was a deep longing, “I have great expectations. At that time, there’s a high chance that… I can successfully breakthrough in one go.”

“Sir!”

Wu Tiejun’s body was trembling, “You… are you going to break through to the Heavenly level?” His voice was filled with inexplicable ecstasy.

“Bullshit!”

He Bibiqu couldn’t help but laugh, “What are you thinking? Before I was poisoned, I was only at the Earth Level Ninth-grade. Three decades of accumulation, if I can break through to Eighth-grade, reach Seventh-grade, that will already be a huge progress, Heavenly level?! What are you thinking!”

“It’s still great news though, what’s wrong with dreaming about it?!”

Wu Tiejun laughed until the corners of his mouth almost split to his ears.

“With your improved strength and significant progress, our Tiannan District is secured!”

He Bibiqu smiled faintly, his mood was also great, he started tidying the room with Wu Tiejun. As Wu Tiejun said, this matter genuinely couldn’t be known to too many people.

Even the Three Stars of Tiannan weren’t an exception.

It’s not that he didn’t trust the Three Stars of Tiannan, but the more people who knew, the harder it would be to control the information. For instance, when facing an enemy, the enemy might deduce something from the Three Stars of Tiannan’s reaction. Or like when He Bibiqu seemed to be in a desperate situation, but the Three Stars didn’t worry too much… these could cause a breach and be deduced by those with ulterior motives.

With such assumptions being made when planning, treating the enemy as clever would allow for a more solid plan, along with fewer loopholes!

“Mister Feng is truly amazing. This kind of divine medicine can actually be duplicated, the future of medicine is promising.”

He Bibiqu sighed, “He chose to leave the Jianghu Small Town, right?”

“Yes.”

“He indeed didn’t want to be part of Rainbow Heavenly Clothes, did he?”

“Yes.”

“Ah, it’s within logical expectations, not too surprising.”

He Bibiqu sighed again, “He was able to change the situation in Tiannan with just a few pills, and didn’t even have to show his face… such heavenly means, yet…”

“Mister Feng has always been contributing to the country.”

Wu Tiejun added, “He just doesn’t like to be controlled by others, preserving his freedom as much as possible. I believe sir, you understand it even more, given Mister Feng’s medical skills, if he truly joined Rainbow Heavenly Clothes, despite how free a position may seem, there are many things he can’t avoid. Even you, as the Supervisor, could you say you could protect Mister Feng in all aspects?”

“No need to say more.”

He Bibiqu waved his hand, “I understand.”

He paced back and forth for a couple of steps, then said, “It doesn’t matter that Mister Feng doesn’t want to serve in Rainbow Heavenly Clothes, as long as his heart is towards Great Qin, everything else is secondary. But you still need to give him this token that allows unrestricted access. If Mister Feng carries our Rainbow Heavenly Clothes’ badge, he could avoid many troubles when roaming the martial world.”

“As for other official positions, I will erase the traces for him.”

He Bibiqu said indifferently, “This might have been difficult before my recovery, but now that I’ve fully recovered and regained my peak strength, it’s not a problem.”

Wu Tiejun didn’t say anything, whatever he said at this point wouldn’t be appropriate.

This incident can’t be described as adding insult to injury, nor was it hiding from a bow after an arrow had been shot, but a recognition of reality. No matter how useful a person is or how much they have achieved, when everyone knows you only have three or five years left to live, the help or resources you receive will be discounted or limited. This is the inevitable situation one faces, and it’s a cruel reality.

Some people might see this as cold and chilling.

But it was He Bibiqu’s choice. He chose to utilize what he had left in his final stage of life, grooming successors, and ensuring that after his death, the affairs of the empire would continue smoothly. All functions must operate as before and cannot experience any mishaps. This kind of stability is what He Bibiqu, the high ranks of Rainbow Heavenly Clothes, and even the empire wish for.

However, under such circumstances involving high-ranking transitions, many people might mistakenly believe that He Bibiqu was finished.
