"Cold...... So cold....... It hurts......." Jun Shuying was lying on the bed. His forehead was filled with sweat and he was delirious.

Gao Fang anxiously watched over him on the side. He had already taken Jun Shuying's pulse. It was the pulse of someone who was suffering gu poison. He had once stayed in Miao territory. Although he learned a bit about gu and how to treat it, he didn't know what kind of gu it was, so he didn't dare to rashly make a move.

[TL Note: Gu poison is a venom-based poison, where several poisonous creatures are sealed inside one container. They devour each other until one is remaining.]

Gao Fang thought that Qing Lang didn't want to kill Jun Shuying. It was as easy as him flipping his palm over to kill Jun Shuying then. There no was no need to expend this sort of effort. But he was worried because he couldn't figure out what this gu was.

"Sect Master, where does it hurt?" Gao Fang looked at Jun Shuying in heavy pain and temporarily put aside his thoughts. He could only use acupuncture to alleviate his pain first.

Jun Shuying barely maintained some clarity. His hands clutched his abdomen. The cold pain made him weaker. Eight words out of ten were air. "Here...... It's like thousands of needles poking me......"

Gao Fang picked up a silver needle and carefully started to insert it in Jun Shuying's Guguan, Shenque, Guanyuan, Zusanli, and Gongsun acupuncture points. He didn't expect that as he started doing it, Jun Shuying shouted as if he couldn't bear it. He started rolling around.

Gao Fang hurriedly put the needle down. Jun Shuying was lying exhausted and panting on the bed. Big beads of sweat dripped down his nose. He was slowly starting to lose consciousness again. He mumbled about being cold and in pain and shrunk his body.

Gao Fang felt Jun Shuying's skin. The high temperature was startling.

"Cold......" Jun Shuying cringed away from his hand.

"Oh yes, the hot spring!" Gao Fang suddenly thought that behind Canglang Mountain was a geothermal. The previous Sect Master wanted to enjoy life, so he had people dug a lake and removed the water to make a man-made hot spring. When Jun Shuying successfully overthrown the previous Sect Master and burned his place, he fortunately did not remember about the hot spring. That's why it still existed.

Gao Fang avoided everyone and stealthily brought Jun Shuying to the cave where the hot spring was.

The previous Sect Master really liked this place, so he didn't let others find out about it like he was concealing treasures. Thus, not many people knew about this place. Only Gao Fang, Jun Shuying, and Qing Lang knew about it.

The cave was very spacious. The ceiling was high. A big lake was in the center of the cave. Wisps of steaming air came from the clear water. The gurgling sounds of the water echoed pleasantly in the cave. The whole cave glowed from the sparkling reflection of the water. It was very beautiful and pure.

The warm water eased Jun Shuying's pain and he gradually restored consciousness.
