The Crazy Son-In-Law

Under the indoor lighting, the silver needle gleamed with a silvery light. Within that glow, there seemed to be a layer of radiance, making it look exceptionally sharp.

At this moment, Miao Xiuyun, who was lying flat on the floor, had a peculiar expression. Ever since the silver needle appeared, he felt a strong sense of repulsion in his mind. It wasn’t him rejecting the needle but rather the Gu worm connected to his heart that feared this extraordinary object.

Squatting beside the unusually expressive Miao Xiuyun, Xiao Shun informed him in advance, “In a moment, I will insert needles into several major acupoints in your body. As the needles penetrate, I will use internal energy to expel the remaining Gu poison from your bloodline. Do not resist when the time comes.”

“Okay,” Miao Xiuyun nodded, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Seeing this, Xiao Shun smiled slightly but said nothing more. He wrapped the silver needle with internal energy and inserted it into Miao Xiuyun’s dantian.

Immediately, Miao Xiuyun felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Gradually, the pain intensified, and even someone as tough as him couldn’t help but want to scream.

Seeing Miao Xiuyun almost grinding his teeth to pieces, Xiao Shun placed a brush from the table into his mouth and comforted him, “Bear with it; the process will be very painful since my internal energy is acting on your meridians.”

With a contorted face, Miao Xiuyun nodded heavily. Then Xiao Shun took out a second silver needle and inserted it into his Baihui acupoint.

This time, Miao Xiuyun couldn’t help but tremble as if his head was about to shatter. The pain was so intense that he bit through the brush handle in his mouth.

The agony was unimaginable!

“Sigh,” Xiao Shun sighed helplessly. Knowing that if this continued, Miao Xiuyun might collapse from the excruciating pain, he pressed a finger to Miao Xiuyun’s forehead.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Looking at the now unconscious Miao Xiuyun, Xiao Shun frowned and said, “Although treating him while he’s unconscious is more difficult, it’s better than watching him suffer.”

With that said, Xiao Shun swiftly inserted a third needle. Even though Miao Xiuyun was unconscious at this point, his body still reacted when the third needle entered. His body became rigid.

It seemed that the antidote given by the Gu Clan was causing a rejection reaction; otherwise, how could such intense pain occur?

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Shun accelerated his needling speed. Eventually, he inserted nine needles into Miao Xiuyun’s body, sealing nine major acupoints.

With these acupoints sealed, Miao Xiuyun’s meridians were now in a state of lockdown. This was also the critical moment for Xiao Shun to contend with the “Forbidden Gu Technique.”

He lifted the unconscious Miao Xiuyun and quickly moved behind him. Placing his right hand on Miao Xiuyun’s back, he slowly transferred Ethereal Essence into him.

Soon, wisps of black mist began to seep out from Miao Xiuyun’s mouth-these were remnants of Gu poison expelled from his bloodline by Xiao Shun.

The black mist was blown away by the mountain wind coming through the window and quickly dissipated without a trace.

An hour later, Xiao Shun finished his work. He wiped the sweat from his forehead; dealing with Miao Xiuyun’s high-level cultivation made expelling the Gu poison quite challenging.

Fortunately, with Anterior Heaven’s support, he managed to succeed. Patting Miao Xiuyun on the shoulder, Xiao Shun said cheerfully, “Chief Miao, wake up!”

Miao Xiuyun’s eyelids fluttered before he suddenly opened them. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked somewhat off.

After glancing at Xiao Shun calmly standing there, he struggled to speak: “Master Xiao… my…”

Seeing this, Xiao Shun patted his shoulder again and comforted him: “The problem has been resolved. However, your pain will persist for a while longer before it subsides. Just bear with it for now.”

Hearing this, despite being in excruciating pain, Miao Xiuyun immediately tried to circulate his cultivation technique to check himself. As soon as he moved slightly, he winced in pain.

“You should rest for now,” Xiao Shun said with a bitter smile. “In an hour or so, you should be able to recover enough to try again.”

Nodding in agreement, Miao Xiuyun dared not move any further and lay quietly on the floor.

Xiao Shun then opened the study door and went downstairs.

The four elders were still waiting in the living room. Seeing Xiao Shun come down looking composed as usual, they all asked in unison: “Master Xiao, how is Chief Miao?”

Xiao Shun replied: “The Gu poison has been expelled by me. However, it will take about an hour for him to fully recover.”

“What!?” The elders were shocked.

From when Xiao Shun and Miao Xiuyun went upstairs until now had been less than an hour and a half in total.

And it was already done?

Even an ordinary surgery might take longer than that! Let alone dealing with something as mysterious as the “Forbidden Gu Technique!”

Of course, it wasn’t that they doubted Xiao Shun’s abilities; it was just that everything seemed too incredible.

Solving an issue that had plagued Silvermeadows for eighty years in just one and a half hours-this young man truly had extraordinary skills!

The next hour passed with everyone gathered in the study room.

Afterward, when Miao Xiuyun finally recovered under everyone’s watchful eyes,

he first checked his internal condition before using some secret technique to cautiously provoke any remaining “Forbidden Gu Technique.”

A minute later, he opened his eyes filled with joy.

Seeing this, the other elders immediately asked: “Chief Miao? Your body?”

Miao Xiuyun exclaimed happily: “It’s gone! The Gu poison that tormented me my whole life is completely gone!”

As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes turned towards Xiao Shun.

In response, he merely shrugged and indicated that it was no big deal.

Xiao Shun acted nonchalantly, but neither Miao Xiuyun nor anyone else could take it lightly; they looked at him solemnly and spoke sincerely:

“Master Xiao, you are our Silvermeadows clan’s benefactor; we can never repay your great kindness!”

Waving his hand dismissively,

Xiao Shun smiled: “Haha,

it’s too early for such words; after all, there are still many people in Silvermeadows who haven’t been treated yet!”

“Since Master Xiao could cure Chief,

the others should be no problem!”

Second Elder confidently looked at Xiao Shun,

his eyes filled with strong trust.

This old man really doesn’t mince words!

Xiao Shun couldn’t help but think inwardly;

there were at least hundreds of people in Silvermeadows-treating them all would indeed be a massive task.

Miao Xiuyun probably guessed what he was thinking,

so he spoke to the elders:

“Master Xiao has worked hard today; let’s discuss treatment matters tomorrow morning during our meeting!

Elders should also go rest for now.”

The elders naturally agreed with Chief’s arrangement;

after expressing their gratitude towards Xiao Shun once more,

they left one by one.
