After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 27 8th Level of Qi Refining

Time flies when you're cultivating. Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Xiaobai broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining last month and is now preparing to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining after more than a month of adjustment.

The previous Qi-refining powder was no longer effective, and Ye Xiaobai heard that his body had developed drug resistance, so he spent a lot of money to buy Qi-gathering pills to continue his cultivation.

As several Qi Gathering Pills entered Ye Xiaobai's body, a surge of powerful spiritual energy immediately coursed through his internal organs.

Ye Xiaobai immediately circulated his cultivation technique, refining spiritual energy and gathering it in his dantian.

The usually well-behaved spiritual energy was unusually mischievous today. In his haste, Ye Xiaobai lost control of its flow, and a tidal wave of spiritual energy surged through his body once again.

Under the impact of the immense spiritual power, with a "poof!" sound, Ye Xiaobai failed to break through, coughed up blood, and suffered severe damage to his lungs and internal organs.

Ye Xiaobai's previous breakthroughs were all relatively smooth. Although he would experience some pain, it would subside after a while.

This was the first time Ye Xiaobai had suffered such a serious injury since he began cultivating. Ye Xiaobai knew that it would be difficult to recover on his own, so he had to find someone to treat him.

Those who treat mortals are called doctors, while those who treat cultivators are called immortal healers. Immortal healers are usually family healers, and their numbers are extremely small. Because they focus on studying medicine, they neglect their own cultivation, so their cultivation level is generally not high.

Ordinary cultivators can usually recover from injuries by buying some healing pills. Ye Xiaobai's injury this time is too serious; he must find a celestial physician.

After making numerous inquiries, Ye Xiaobai finally found a celestial physician in a corner of the market who could cure his problems.

Li's Medical Clinic is located in a remote corner of the market, but it is the only medical clinic in the market.

The clinic's manager, Doctor Li, is also a legendary healer with superb medical skills, and he can easily solve the problems of cultivators.

However, I've heard that his consultation fees are quite bizarre; instead of spirit stones, he asks for spirit herbs, demonic beasts, formations, delicacies, and so on.

Food is also an option. Ye Xiaobai was secretly delighted to hear this, since he was good at cooking, he wouldn't have to worry about the medical expenses for now.

As soon as he entered the clinic, he was greeted by the scents of various medicinal herbs. Some were pleasantly fragrant, some were fishy and foul, and some were pungent. Ye Xiaobai immediately shut down his sense of smell.

Staying in this environment for a long time does train one's sense of smell, but Ye Xiaobai had important things to do, so he didn't bother to smell it carefully.

"Is Doctor Li here?" Ye Xiaobai asked, looking at the apprentice in the clinic who was wiping the tables and chairs.

"Yes, please wait a moment before you come in for your appointment," the apprentice said calmly.

"Okay." Ye Xiaobai found a seat and sat down.

A moment later, the apprentice brought out an old man, aged 50-60, dressed in a gray robe.

As soon as Ye Xiaobai got a good look at the other person, he noticed that the other person had bright eyes and was full of energy, while he, a young man, was sickly and listless.

"I am a healer, Dr. Li!" Ye Xiaobai mustered his spirits and greeted him first.

"Siqi, do you see this? This is the face of someone who failed to break through and whose meridians are damaged." Doctor Li didn't respond to Ye Xiaobai, but instead looked at the young apprentice and said.

Ye Xiaobai was taken aback. Doctor Li was indeed amazing; he had seen through his problem at a glance.

The young apprentice was named Li Siqi, and he was a disciple of Doctor Li.

Li Siqi quickly replied, "I remember, Master."

"Then have you noticed any other problems?" Doctor Li asked.

"These lips are bloodless and dark in color. Could it be poisoning?" Li Siqi said anxiously.

"What kind of poison is that?" Doctor Li continued to press.

"This disciple does not know." Li Siqi was already a little scared, his voice trembling slightly, worried that his master would scold him for being stupid again.

"Sigh, Siqi, I won't say anything to you today. Just make sure you study hard in the future. I'll show you those medical books," Doctor Li said with a hint of disappointment.

"I understand," Li Siqi replied softly, keeping her head down and not daring to look up.

Ye Xiaobai was speechless. He had come to see a doctor and was being used as a case study, and the immortal doctor hadn't spoken to him for a long time. However, he was also shocked to hear that he was poisoned, as he hadn't felt anything at all.

Ye Xiaobai finally couldn't help but cough twice to get the immortal doctor's attention. He couldn't just focus on teaching and ignore the patient.

Doctor Li finally realized the problem and quickly said to Ye Xiaobai with a smile, "Your problem is very simple. The failure to break through caused damage to your meridians. I will prescribe a healing pill for you and you will recover quickly."

"Didn't they say there was also the risk of poisoning?" Ye Xiaobai asked, puzzled.

"Siqi, why don't you take her pulse?" Doctor Li still wanted to test Li Siqi.

“Okay, Master.” After Li Siqi finished speaking, he began to take Ye Xiaobai’s pulse.

After a moment, Li Siqi was sweating profusely, still unsure of the poison. He could only whisper, "This disciple's skills are insufficient; I cannot discern what kind of poison it is."

"Alas. Let your master take a look," Doctor Li sighed again.

After saying that, Doctor Li began to take Ye Xiaobai's pulse, and it was over quickly.

“Erysipelas!” Doctor Li said slowly.

"Erystal poison? No way? The pills I usually take are poisonous?" Ye Xiaobai couldn't believe it.

"Have you consumed a lot of low-grade pills?"

"Yes, what's the problem?"

"Do you know what low-grade pills are? Those pills that barely form pills and have a lot of residual pill toxins are called low-grade pills; mid-grade pills also contain some pill toxins, high-grade pills have very little pill toxins, and only top-grade pills have no pill toxins at all."

"So that's how it is. No wonder the price increases exponentially with the grade. Doctor Li, my pill poison shouldn't be a problem for you, right?" Ye Xiaobai said respectfully.

"Of course it's a minor problem. Take my specially made detoxification pills, and you'll be completely detoxified in 10 days," Doctor Li said calmly.

"Then how should I calculate my consultation fee today? I heard you're interested in food, how about I invite you to Xiaoyao Restaurant to try some delicious food?" Ye Xiaobai said confidently, after all, he had shares in Xiaoyao Restaurant.

"The food at Xiaoyao Restaurant is indeed excellent, but I'm currently researching an ancient formula and happen to be missing a certain spiritual herb. I've searched the entire market but haven't been able to find it. So I need your help with a small matter," Doctor Li said calmly.

"I wonder how this junior can help you, Immortal Physician?" Ye Xiaobai asked helplessly.

"Find a dragon's tongue herb near the Lianhuan Pool in the White Mist Mountains and that will be my consultation fee for today."

"Alright, I'll do my best!" Ye Xiaobai had no other choice but to rely on Doctor Li to treat him.

After confirming the appearance and smell of the dragon tongue grass with Doctor Li, Ye Xiaobai went back to prepare for his trip to the White Mist Mountains.

Ye Xiaobai first went to the market to buy a high-grade magic weapon-level flying sword. Combined with his own Taixu Wuji Sword, which he had already cultivated to a minor level, he might be able to fight against someone at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage. Ye Xiaobai also bought some spirit talismans for unforeseen circumstances.

Previously, Ye Xiaobai did not know the location of the Lianhuan Pool in the White Mist Mountain Range. He asked his fellow disciples and learned that it was close to the depths of the White Mist Mountain Range, where the monsters were of a higher level. If he had to go, it would be best to go in a group.
