Gorgeous Female Tenants Chapter 143: Luring the Snake out of Its Hole

Ouyang Zhan frowned: "Yujian, has Dr. Xu called yet? Has he brought the dicine?"

Ouyang Yujian walked from the living room to the courtyard: "Dr. Xu hasn’t called yet. How about I call him now and ask?"

At this mont, the doorbell rang, particularly loud in the quiet night.

Ouyang Yujian returned quickly, with a look of surprise and delight on his face: "Dad, Dr. Xu is here. He said he’s brought the dicine for you."

Ouyang Zhan stood up from the wicker chair, sweeping away his previous depression, and laughed heartily: "Speak of the devil, and he appears. Just as we ntioned Dr. Xu, he arrived."

Xu Xiangbei humd a tune as he approached, and said with a tone of seeking praise: "Master, I’ve brought your dicine."

Ouyang Zhan laughed: "So fast! You’ve prepared the pills already? Dr. Xu, though young, you get things done quite quickly."

Xu Xiangbei held up a small cloisonné porcelain jar, smiling: "Have you been anxious? No rush, you can’t consu it now. You have to wait until the hour of the extre yin, midnight, at 12 o’clock."

Ouyang Yujian checked his watch; it was one hour until midnight. He said to the elder: "One more hour, why don’t you sit and chat, and it’ll be here soon enough."

"Yujian, serve tea. Bring out those eight famous Yanjing pastries you bought from Yanjing. Let’s sit here, enjoy the moon, chat, and have pastries while waiting for midnight."

With pastries and tea, the three of them sat in the courtyard, chatting away.

Taking this opportunity, Elder Master Ouyang regaled Xu Xiangbei with many stories of Jiangcheng, mostly from when he, Liu Rulong, and Chen Wanhao were young and dominated Jiangcheng with their martial arts skills.

Everything seed as vivid as yesterday, yet ti flies, and in the blink of an eye, they had reached their seventies.

Though aged, ambition remains.

Looking at the spirited young Xu Xiangbei, Elder Master Ouyang sighed lightly: "We’ve grown old; the future world belongs to your generation."

Xu Xiangbei chuckled: "Master, it’s too soon for such words. After consuming my elixir, I assure you, your prowess will remain undiminished."

The grand clock in the living room struck twelve tis. The moonlight illuminated the sky, and a cold wind arose — it was now the midnight hour.

Xu Xiangbei opened the small porcelain jar, pinched out a crimson Nine Nether Yin Gathering Pill, showed it to the elder, then placed it back in the cloisonné jar and handed the small bottle to Elder Master Ouyang.

"This is the Nine Nether Yin Gathering Pill. Take one each night at midnight with water, for ten consecutive nights. It will ensure the elimination of your excessive yang energy."

Xu Xiangbei then took out a small white porcelain bottle, opened the lid, revealing a single cyan Taiqing Pill, and placed the white porcelain bottle in the elder’s palm.

A burst of fresh herbal fragrance assaulted the senses, pleasant enough to feel invigorated just by slling it. The elder’s face imdiately lit up: "What treasure is this now?"

Xu Xiangbei, brimming with pride, advised: "Inside is the Taiqing Pill, made from a millennium-old ginseng king. It can revive the dead, regenerate flesh and bones. This is my gift to you, Elder, for longevity. Consu it after taking ten Nine Nether Yin Gathering Pills, not before."

Not only was Elder Master Ouyang overjoyed, but even the onlooking Ouyang Yujian was astonished. The Taiqing Pill was a bright cyan and fragrant, shining faintly under the moonlight, clearly no ordinary item.

The elder swallowed a Nine Nether Yin Gathering Pill with water, closed his eyes, sat on the wicker chair, and keenly sensed any bodily changes but felt nothing. He opened his eyes wide, looking at Xu Xiangbei with doubt.

Xu Xiangbei acted oblivious, focusing on eating pastries, with sesa seeds on his lips and oil stains on his fingers, in sheer enjoynt.

The elder was a bit displeased. He’d spent twenty million, yet felt nothing upon consuming the pill. His left hand still hurt and he couldn’t gather Inner Strength. Was this kid fooling him?

The more the elder thought about it, the angrier he beca, his face turning increasingly sallow. Suddenly, he felt as if about to burst, with a burning Inner Strength rushing from his Dantian to his crown.

The heat was like a furnace in mid-sumr, almost setting his entire body ablaze. His mind buzzed, and everything in front of him blacked out.

"Dad, what’s wrong?"

Ouyang Yujian reached out to support the staggering elder, but felt intense heat upon touch, causing him to recoil in pain.

The elder’s entire head, face, and limbs turned from yellow to fiery red, with large beads of sweat rolling from his body, soaking his clothes.

Seeing this strange phenonon, Ouyang Yujian anxiously asked: "What’s going on? Wasn’t it a Nine Nether Yin Gathering Pill? Why does it seem like a Blazing Fire Pill?"

Xu Xiangbei almost choked on a piece of almond pastry, quickly drank a mouthful of water, and then grinned, shaking his head, saying: "No worries, it’s a normal reaction. Everything is under the skilled hands of this humble person. So people have a body of Supre Yin, while the elder here has a body of extre yang. Additionally, he’s been practicing the pure unto extre yang Dragon Tiger Divine Fist, and the yang fire within him has reached a critical point. The Nine Nether Yin Gathering Pill cannot eliminate the continuous supre yang fire within. Instead, it lures it out, much like enticing a snake out of its hole."

Hearing Xu Xiangbei’s explanation, Ouyang Yujian relaxed sowhat. Seeing the elder’s pained expression as if enduring agony, he anxiously asked: "So what do we do? The elder seems in great pain."

"Of course it hurts; imagine lighting a fire in your heart and see if it doesn’t hurt."

Xu Xiangbei let out a belch, humd a tune, and occasionally glanced at the elder’s fiery-red face, seemingly quite pleased, prompting Ouyang Yujian to roll his eyes and repeatedly urge: "Dr. Xu, quickly help the elder. He might burn to death like this."

Xu Xiangbei waved a hand: "No rush, let it burn for a while more. If it doesn’t burn out, the spring breeze will rekindle it. It’s better to let it burn out completely in one go."

"What kind of theory is that? Do you think my dad is wild grass?"

Xu Xiangbei seed unconcerned with the elder’s flushed face or Ouyang Yujian’s near ltdown. Only after eating two sesa twists did he clap his hands to clear off the crumbs and mutter: "Alright, it’s burned long enough; ti to let off steam. By the way, where’s the water? I need to consu sothing, or this fire will burn too."

Ouyang Yujian reluctantly grabbed Xu Xiangbei’s cup, almost wanting to throw it at Xu’s head, but helplessly handed it over, nearly pleading: "Dr. Xu, the water’s here. Please do sothing; the elder is starting to gasp heavily."

Xu Xiangbei took out a Taiqing Pill and swallowed it, like a chef tasting his own dish first.

Having learned from the previous experience of saving Liu Ningyan that nearly exhausted his Inner Strength, this ti he first consud a Taiqing Pill to protect his own Heart Vein, preventing harm to himself while assisting others.
