As he removed the stopper again, a rich purple smoke billowed out from the bottle.

At this moment, what he held in his hand was no longer a life-saving medicine, but... poison!

However, medicine and poison are not distinctly separate entities.

What Young Master Jiang needed to do now, was to stimulate Lord Hall Master's bodily functions with the potent toxicity.

To have him involuntarily, driven by instinct, react to other medications, and absorb them.

This was the trademark method of Young Master Jiang, a combination of medical skill and poison technique, and it was an inheritance technique of Baihua Valley.

The legendary technique, lost for a hundred years, was being reproduced in the hands of Young Master Jiang.

He flipped his hand, and dozens of silver needles appeared in his grasp.

All were dipped into the medicine bottle to be coated with the poisonous liquid, and then he resumed his weaving movement around the Iron-eating Demon.

As each silver needle pierced in, the breath of the Iron-eating Demon, which had been growing fainter and fainter, suddenly began to quicken.

And with that, his physical condition also began to change.

Medicines that had nearly ceased being absorbed into the body, could now follow the hair as Young Master Jiang applied them, slowly being taken in by the skin and permeating into the body.

"Very good, next is to blend the poison with the medicine according to Lord Hall Master's condition, and harmonize the medications..."

Young Master Jiang was contemplating this when suddenly, the vast body of the Iron-eating Demon arched violently!

Hiss!!!

The next instant, the abdomen wound, which had stopped bleeding, erupted like a fountain spurting blood crazily!

The unexpected hemorrhage left Young Master Jiang stunned.

He instantly realized there was something wrong with the wound!

It couldn't just be a simple laceration with a large surface area!

The thing was getting more active as Lord Hall Master's bodily functions were being restored!

Like a curse of necrosis clinging to the bone, producing a more intense deterioration!

He had been careless!

Before fully understanding the peculiarities of the wound, and in an attempt to cling onto Lord Hall Master's life, he had employed radical methods, which, in turn, exacerbated the wound and worsened Lord Hall Master's condition!

"Open his mouth!"

While Young Master Jiang was urgently considering his countermeasures, an experienced voice sounded from behind.

Young Master Jiang turned to look and, astonishingly, it was Old Man Yun from the Medicine Cloud Pavilion, approaching with brisk strides.

As their eyes met, Young Master Jiang immediately went to the head of the Iron-eating Demon, prying its big mouth open with both hands.

Old Man Yun, seizing the opportunity, placed several Medicine Pills into its mouth.

The Medicine Pills dissolved upon contact, like liquid flowing straight down the channels and meridians on the Iron-eating Demon's tongue, sliding down the throat without the patient needing to make any movement.

"Divine Doctor Yun, impressive skills," Young Master Jiang said solemnly.

Though he was an inheritor of Baihua Valley, his skills were far cry from the former Sect Master.

He couldn't understand the principle behind Old Man Yun's methods at all.

The study of Medicine Pills was profound and extensive.

In this field, he had only skimmed the surface, far from mastering it.

"First, stop the bleeding."

Together, they arrived at the Iron-eating Demon's abdominal wound, which had nearly ripped half his body open. The terrible injury made one remark that if it were not for the Lord Hall Master being a Demon Martial Artist and currently demonized, an ordinary Martial Artist would have perished from such a wound.

Old Man Yun observed the wound's flesh and the surrounding area, still filled with many silver needles scattered on the ground as if they were sprayed out by the pressure of the blood, then turned to look at Young Master Jiang.

"Young Master Jiang, those silver needles for stopping blood, did you find the acupuncture points?"

Young Master Jiang shook his head slightly.

"No, after the demonization, the acupuncture points shifted, making it impossible to determine their locations. I could only go by the body's shape, the location of the wound, and the specific bodily reaction when each needle was placed. Before I used the poison to forcibly sustain life, the bleeding was indeed stopped. But now, I'm not sure if it was my silver needles that stopped the bleeding, or if it was because Lord Hall Master's bodily functions were nearing death, causing the wound to cease deteriorating."

This explanation left Divine Doctor Yun somewhat astonished.

A wound that changes according to the host's state?

It felt more like a curse than an injury.

"Anyway, remove all the silver needles for now, and in combination with my Medicine Pills, try to stop the bleeding again and stabilize the injury."

The position in which the Iron-eating Demon was arched over was reminiscent of a state between life and death, where the pulse weakens until it nearly disappears.

"Alright! Everything will be done according to Divine Doctor Yun's instructions."

Despite being the one who had erred, Young Master Jiang didn't resent stepping back into an assistant's role. He even felt somewhat grateful for Divine Doctor Yun's intervention.

After removing all the silver needles and looking towards Divine Doctor Yun, he saw that the Divine Doctor had already crushed a dozen or so Medicine Pills, scattering them inside the wound.

Just like the previous Medicine Pills, as soon as Divine Doctor Yun's Medicine Pills came into contact with the wounded flesh, they melted like a liquid.

In a short while, a cold sensation began to emanate from the wound's location, and the blood that had been spurting out began to quickly congeal into a crimson ice pick.

Upon closer inspection of the gaping wound, a thin layer of frost had formed, barely containing the flow of blood.

"Hastily manipulate Lord Hall Master's Qi-Blood with the silver needles, maintaining his body temperature at a relatively moderate state," Divine Doctor Yun instructed.

His words put pressure on Young Master Jiang.

He had never collaborated with anyone before, and this was his first time.

Fortunately, Young Master Jiang was genuinely skilled. After a few trial placements of the needles caused small sprays of blood, he quickly grasped some tricks that allowed the Iron-eating Demon's breathing to return to calm, easing the arching body gradually.
