Chapter Eleven: The Medicine God's Finger

  "What is a Medicine God? It's said that with one finger, all poisons are solved. What does it mean to be a Medicine God? Is it just the legendary divine skill of the Medicine God Finger?" Xie Ao Yu asked in surprise.

  Ziyan smiled and said: "I didn't expect that you would be so knowledgeable and talented, even knowing about the Medicine God's Finger."

  "I once read in a book that the Medicine God Finger was invented by Yun Dangtian, the first generation of Medicine Gods, over 3,000 years ago. At that time, he lost to the Poison God and spent more than ten years studying hard, finally creating the Medicine God Finger. In his subsequent duel with the Poison God, he only needed one finger to dispel all the poison." Xie Ao Yu said.

  "What you said is right." Ziyan nodded and said.

  Seeing Ziyan's affirmative reply, Xie Aoyu was puzzled instead.

  It is said that the Medicine God's Finger was the most advanced technique of the Medicine God in his heyday. Legend has it that any highly toxic substance can be neutralized with just a touch of his finger, and this has been passed down as a legendary feat.

  But this divine medicine indeed exists, but how to cultivate it, who knows?

  Seemingly noticing Xie Ao Yu's confusion, Zi Yan smiled and said: "I have a method to cultivate the Medicine God Finger, but cultivating the Medicine God Finger is extremely difficult, even torturous. If you can't persist, not only will you fail, but your fingers will also be crippled forever, so..."

  "I'm going to cultivate!" Xie Ao Yu said firmly.

  "Are you sure? I must remind you, except for the Medicine God back then, until now, there hasn't been a second person who has successfully cultivated it. Those who have tried to cultivate it have already rendered their hands useless." Ziyan said seriously.

  Xie Qian's figure flashed in his mind, thinking of Xie Qian risking his life to obtain the Dragon Fist technique for him, traveling all over the continent to find a solution to the problem that made it impossible for him to cultivate internal energy, and suffering greatly. Xie Ao Yu calmly said: "I want to cultivate!"

  Under her calm exterior, Ziyan felt an unshakeable confidence.

  "Alright, since you insist on learning, I'll personally guide you in your cultivation." Ziyan said.

  "Thank you, Ziyan sister." Xie Ao Yu was overjoyed. Being able to cultivate the Medicine God's Finger meant that he could avenge himself, which made Xie Ao Yu extremely happy. "Should I give my first kiss to Ziyan sister as thanks?"

  Her eyes widened in anger, her finger pointed at Xie Ao Yu's forehead, and she said in a bad tone: "You stinky brat, you dare to take advantage of your sister, humph, I saw that your aura was not right earlier, so I was good to you, but now you actually dare to flirt with your sister!"

  "Heh heh, aren't I grateful to Sister?" Xie Ao Yu said.

  "If you can cultivate the Medicine God Finger, that would be the greatest gratitude to your sister." Ziyan said seriously, "You stinky brat, I'm reminding you again, the Medicine God Finger is not as easy to cultivate as you think."

  Xie Ao Yu said: "I will definitely succeed!"

  Seeing Xie Ao Yu persisting like this, Zi Yan also stopped saying anything and immediately began preparing the necessary items for practicing the Medicine God's Finger.

  An hour later, Ziyan finished packing up.

  "There are two major hurdles in cultivating the Medicine God Finger. The first hurdle is the entrance, which requires withstanding the scorching of the heterodox fire. Just imagine how painful it must be - the heterodox fire is not comparable to ordinary flames. The second hurdle, and also the most difficult one, is collecting rare flowers and herbs. This is extremely challenging because no one knows how many rare flowers and herbs are needed to bring the Medicine God Finger to perfection. According to my knowledge, a family that ranked among the top three on the continent once cultivated someone who practiced the Medicine God Finger, but ultimately failed to reach perfection due to their inability to gather enough rare flowers and herbs."

  Xie Ao Yu said: "Strange fire? Does sister have strange fire?"

  "Of course, if I didn't have the hetero flame, I would be stuck as a low-level alchemist for my entire life." Ziyan smiled proudly, "My hetero flame is a very high-ranking charming spirit fire."

  "Mirage Spirit Flame?!" Xie Ao Yu exclaimed.

  "You know this too?" Ziyan asked.

  He nodded and Xie Ao Yu said, "I once read a book that introduced the Yihuo, although the Yihuo doesn't have levels, its power has extremely large differences. It's said that the strongest level of Yihuo can burn down the trees on a small mountain with just one spark. This Meiling Spirit Fire should be able to rank among the top five of the Yihuo, and its flames seem like ghostly shadows dancing."

  "Everyone says you're knowledgeable and talented, this time I really believe it."

  Xie Ao Yu let out a wry smile, he was trying to solve the puzzle of his special physical condition, but in the process, he had read extensively and almost nothing escaped him, so naturally his knowledge became richer.

  "Without hetero flame, one cannot become a high-level alchemist. So that means without hetero flame, it's impossible to refine high-level elixirs?" Xie Ao Yu said, this was what he was concerned about.

  "Of course, the higher the level of Dan medicine, the higher the level of hetero-fire, and only then can the success rate be slightly higher. For example, the poison that your father was afflicted with requires a hetero-fire that is probably even higher than my Charmsoul Fire." Ziyan said.

  It seems that the poison should have been given to Xie Kun by someone else.

  Since it was given by someone else, it also means that Xie Kun may not have it. After all, refining such a poisonous medicine requires not only extremely terrifying alien fire but also high-grade materials. Xie Ao Yu does not believe that anyone would casually take out such a poisonous medicine and give it to Xie Kun.

  This gave Xie Ao Yu a bit more confidence in his revenge.

  "Right, with our Xie family's four elders' abilities, to what extent can the Medicine God's pointer be countered?" Xie Ao Yu threw out another focal question.

  Ziyan had no idea what Xie Ao's thoughts were, she lightly laughed and said: "You four elders, he is just considered a beginner, not to mention that he doesn't have any heterodox fire, the recipes for refining elixirs in his hands are pitifully few, Medicine God pointed out that as long as one enters the door, they can defeat him."

  "What does it take to be considered a beginner in medicine?" Xie Ao Yu asked.

  "The sign of entering the door is that your fingers turn pale gold, and when you reach golden yellow, it's close to perfection. If you recover your original skin color, then you've reached perfection." Ziyan explained, "And this entrance requires tempering with strange fire, each time the fire must be stronger, if the first pass can't get through, the fingers will be burned to ashes, and after passing, a large amount of rare flowers and herbs need to be collected to absorb their medicinal power."

  Xie Ao Yu smiled and stretched out his left hand's little finger.

  He is right-handed, no matter what he does or fights, generally with his right hand as the main one, and his left hand is not noticed. Moreover, his little finger on his left hand is small, so this is the least likely to be noticed by others.

  "Are you sure?" Ziyan asked finally.

  "Confirmed!"

  Xie Ao Yu replied strongly.

  Seeing this situation, Zi Yan no longer spoke. He took out the crushed medicinal herbs and combined them with three types of medicinal waters. The dan medicine was applied to Xie Ao Yu's fingertips.

  A cool sensation spread, Xie Ao Yu felt extremely refreshed, he knew that in fact the strange fire burning might just be one reason, what truly allowed him to enter the gate should be these medicinal pellets, probably each and every one of them was top-grade.

  After waiting for a while, Zi Yan said: "I'm going to start now."

  Xie Ao Yu clenched his teeth and nodded slightly.

  Being calcined by heterochromic fire must be extremely painful.

  Ziyan's fingers snapped, and a black flame like a phantom erupted from her fingertips. The flames danced up and down, like a beautiful dancing girl performing a passionate dance.

  As soon as the charming shadow flame appears, the temperature suddenly rises.

  Ziyan slowly placed the Meiyingshenhuo under Xie Ao Yu's fingers, "If you can endure it, I will gradually increase the temperature."

  As they spoke, Ziyan sent the charming shadow fire upwards.

  As soon as the charming spirit fire touched Xie Ao Yu's fingertips, he saw that the medicinal powder and liquid medicine applied to his body immediately made a "sizzling" sound. A hot flow then quickly flowed through his fingers into his arm, then into his chest, and finally into the left side of his chest.

  "Does it hurt?" Ziyan asked cautiously, "If you give up now, it's still possible."

  Xie Ao Yu looked at Zi Yan with a strange expression and said, "I don't feel anything."
