He raised his hand.

"Come on, give me your wrist."

The little girl was skeptical, but she still extended her wrist.

Yang Fan placed two fingers on her wrist, and after a moment, spiritual energy flowed through the little girl's wrist and into her body, circulating once.

Yang Fan raised his eyebrows in surprise. The little girl had a cold poison accumulating in her body, which was radiating coldness.

Yang Fan frowned deeply.

After a while, the old man came out of the room.

Yang Fan turned his gaze to the old man.

"Elder, it seems your granddaughter isn't in good health."

The old man looked at Yang Fan with surprise.

"What, young master, you also know how to treat illnesses?"

The old man's eyes already showed some tension.

Yang Fan nodded slightly.

"Although I am not a miracle doctor, I can tell that your granddaughter has been poisoned by cold."

The old man was both surprised and delighted, and knelt down directly before Yang Fan with a thud.

"Please, young master, lend a hand and save my poor granddaughter."

He immediately took out the silver from his pocket.

"I am willing to return all the silver that you gave me before, young master."

Seeing the old man's pleading expression, Yang Fan went over and helped him up.

"Old man, there's no need for such formalities. Since I've rented a room in your house, it's a matter of fate that we're connected. It wouldn't be right for me not to lend a helping hand."

Yang Fan slowly raised his hand.

"It's not difficult to resolve the cold poison in your granddaughter's body; I have my own methods."

"I'm just curious, why does she have such a severe case of cold poison in her body?"

"Logically speaking, a child like her shouldn't exist."

The old man hesitated for a long time, then sighed.

"Since you've asked, I'll tell you the truth."

"This child was fine before, but once he ran into the mountains while playing and ate a kind of fruit there, and then his body was filled with this coldness."

"I've consulted many famous doctors, and I've almost sold all the things in my house, but I still can't get better."

The old man rubbed the little girl's head helplessly.

Yang Fan nodded slightly, his heart filled with shock. The fact that the fruit could produce such a strong cold poison showed that it was definitely not simple.

Just as Yang Fan was pondering, the old man suddenly looked at him.

"Since you've asked, young master, you must be able to cure her, right?"

The old man's eyes were full of hope.

Yang Fan nodded slightly.

"Yes, I can cure your granddaughter's illness."

He gently patted the little girl's head.

"It will take a while, though."

"Here's what we'll do. I'll write you a prescription first. You can go and gather some herbs according to the prescription, and I'll prepare the decoction to stabilize her condition and prevent it from worsening."

Yang Fan's body has not yet recovered, so he is temporarily unable to provide treatment, but it is fine to prescribe herbal medicine to stabilize his condition.

The old man was immediately grateful, as he had received silver from Yang Fan and had enough money to buy medicinal herbs.

Yang Fan wrote down a prescription and handed it to the old man, instructing him to collect the herbs according to the prescription.

After doing all this, Yang Fan took a deep breath and returned to his room.

The old man wanted to express his gratitude, but Yang Fan politely declined.

Zhou Peng obediently followed behind Yang Fan.

The two entered the side room, and Zhou Peng asked in surprise.

"Why would the master suddenly help them?"

Yang Fan turned to look at him.

"What, is it strange that I help people?"

Zhou Peng shook his head repeatedly.

"It's not that it's strange, it's just that we feel it's better to avoid getting involved."

Yang Fan shook his head slightly.

"That's true, but since we have the ability to help, it's best to lend a hand."

"And I'm also very interested in the fruit that the little girl was eating."

Zhou Peng raised his head.

"So, Master thinks those fruits might come in handy?"

Yang Fan nodded.

"Yes, this cold poison is so strong, it's a miracle that the little girl could endure it for so long. I'm even more curious about that fruit now, and I must find out more about it."

Yang Fan stretched his muscles and bones.

"Here's what we'll do. I'll stay here for a few days until her injuries are almost healed, then I'll help her clear the cold poison, and then I'll have her take me to the mountains to find where those fruits are."

Zhou Peng nodded repeatedly, indicating his submission.

Yang Fan then gave further instructions.

"I don't know much about setting up formations, so I'll leave that to you."

"Although no one should be able to find us here, it's better to set up the formation just in case. In case someone tracks our movements, we can use the formation for cover."

Zhou Peng immediately complied.

Over the next few days, the old man followed the prescription and went to collect herbs nearby. Before long, he had collected most of the herbs.

After preparing all the medicinal herbs, Zhou Peng and the old man brewed the medicine for the little girl.

The little girl's condition improved considerably after taking the medicine prescribed by Yang Fan.

The medicinal herbs prescribed by Yang Fan are all of the fire element, which are excellent medicines to resist the cold poison. However, the cold poison is deeply rooted and cannot be eradicated by the herbs alone; it can only provide temporary relief.

Even so, the little girl felt much more relaxed.

Because Yang Fan helped her cure her illness, the little girl became close to him and would come to chat with him whenever she had free time.

For Yang Fan, recuperating from illness didn't require daily meditation; quiet rest was sufficient. Therefore, he also liked this enthusiastic little girl very much.

In the days that followed, Yang Fan and the little girl became more and more familiar with each other, and with the help of various elixirs, Yang Fan's injuries healed faster and faster.

Two or three months later, Yang Fan's injuries had mostly healed. Although he was not completely cured, he was no longer in any serious condition.

At this point, Yang Fan began to address the cold poison within the little girl's body.

That day, he called the grandfather and grandson over and set out a set of silver needles.

"The cold poison in your granddaughter's body is almost under control, but continuing to take medicine will no longer be effective. Next, I will use silver needles to force the cold poison out of her body. You will assist me in this process."

Yang Fan said to the old man.

The old man nodded immediately.

Yang Fan helped the little girl lie down and began to insert silver needles into her various acupoints.

Generally speaking, cold toxins accumulate in the body's acupoints, and Yang Fan always targets these acupoints when inserting his needles.

Soon, as the silver needles were inserted, a painful expression appeared on the little girl's face.

"Wait a moment, once all the silver needles are inserted, the cold poison will be drawn out of your body, and then you will feel much more relaxed."

Yang Fan comforted him.

The little girl bit her lower lip lightly, nodded firmly, and her eyes showed determination.

Yang Fan couldn't help but admire her; this little girl was much stronger than he had imagined.

Before long, as the silver needles were inserted, a significant amount of the cold poison in the little girl's body was forced out.

Yang Fan inserted silver needles one by one, and the cold poison began to be expelled gradually. Yang Fan raised his hand and carefully guided the cold poison into the porcelain bottle, preparing to take it back for further study.

Yang Fan patiently drew out the cold poison bit by bit. Throughout the process, the little girl's brows were furrowed, clearly in great pain. But she knew that Yang Fan was doing it for her own good, so she gritted her teeth and persevered without uttering a sound.

Yang Fan's admiration grew stronger.

Half an hour later, all the cold poison was finally drawn out. The little girl was drenched in sweat, but she could feel that the cold poison in her body had been removed, and she was overjoyed.
