Chapter 2231

As dusk fell, Dustin stood before the alchemy furnace in the tavern's kitchen. With mystical pure energy, he meticulously controlled the fire's temperature.Grace worked efficiently and gathered all the precious herbs within just an hour. She even arranged for a top-quality alchemy furnace to be delivered.Following ancient methods, he began crafting the tablet to dispel Alicia's witchcraft.Witchcraft was similar to parasitic poison, but it was even more mysterious and unpredictable. Fortunately, Dustin had considerable knowledge of witchcraft and an extensive understanding of secret techniques. So, concocting the antidote presented no challenge for him.Suddenly, Grace entered the kitchen and said solemnly, "We have a crisis. I've received word that Alicia's condition has suddenly worsened, and she's on the brink of death. We must leave now.""Her condition has worsened? How did this happen?" He frowned and continued, "I'd already contained the voodoo in Alicia's body with the

Chapter 2232

At the Celestial Alliance's Lakeshore Villa, Alicia lay unconscious on the bed. Her breathing was growing weaker by the minute. Aurora and Brian were pacing anxiously by her side while Kenan, drenched in sweat, worked frantically.Kenan was using his Styx Passage technique to prolong Alicia's life, but it was barely making a difference. It could only delay her death, but it couldn't improve her condition. If Alicia died, he knew his own life might be forfeit as well."How is she, Dr. Quake? How is Alicia doing?" Brian couldn't hold back his worry as he saw Kenan struggling."I'm doing my best… I'm still trying…" Kenan replied, wiping his brow. He was so nervous that his hands trembled.If the patient were from an ordinary household, he could just say he did his best and move on. But Aurora had made it clear that if Alicia didn't survive, neither would he. The pressure was intense, and fear was a constant companion. All he could do was try his hardest to keep Alicia alive a l

After Brian stepped back, Dustin stepped forward to start treating Alicia. Because of Kenan's misdiagnosis and treatment, the voodoo had spread throughout her body.The tablet Dustin had just crafted wasn't enough to remove the voodoo. He also needed to use silver needles to draw it out first.However, the voodoo was like a spirit and would evade detection, making it challenging to extract with needles alone.The best plan was for Dustin to use himself as bait. He had to absorb the voodoo from Alicia's body into his own. It was risky, but there was no other choice. To save her, he had to give it a shot.He told Grace, "I'll use silver needles to gather the voodoo energy in one spot on Alicia's body later. "Then, I'll use my hands to draw most of it into my own body. The whole process has to go perfectly, so I need you to watch over me and make sure nobody interrupts."He looked back at Grace to stress how serious he was. Among everyone there, she was the only one he truly truste

Aurora paced anxiously while Brian and Kenan whispered to each other. She wanted to ask questions but held back, worried it might distract Dustin and interfere with Alicia's treatment.At that moment, Grace stood silently by Dustin's side and acted as his guardian.As time passed, Alicia looked visibly uncomfortable and began sweating profusely. The black mist gradually surrounded her, and it soon enveloped Dustin.Time dragged on until he finally opened his eyes and took a deep breath. A vortex of true energy swirled in his mouth as he absorbed the surrounding black mist. His complexion shifted from pale to flushed, and he frowned deeply.Dustin absorbed most of the voodoo from Alicia's body. Despite his strong cultivation and incredible resilience, he still felt the strain. Afterward, he placed his palms on her back.She suddenly raised her head and spat out a mouthful of black blood before collapsing onto the bed."Alicia!" Brian's expression changed as he rushed to check on h

Chapter 2235

As the two poisons battled fiercely within Alicia, blood trickled from her nose, and her body convulsed slightly.Dustin kept his hand on her back as he continuously channeled mystical pure energy into her. Her circulatory pathways were damaged and repaired repeatedly in this process, which lasted about half an hour.Eventually, the poisons were neutralized. Her body calmed, her expression relaxed, and the nosebleed stopped.Though still pale, her steady pulse and smooth breathing indicated she was out of danger. Only then did Dustin slowly remove his hand and end the treatment."The voodoo in Alicia's body has been cleared. She's stable now, but she needs to rest and avoid strenuous activity," Dustin said as he rose to his feet. He looked tired, drenched in sweat."Alicia… Is she really okay?" Aurora's eyes widened with a mix of nervousness and hope."Why don't you check for yourself?" he said, his words brief. Dustin slumped onto a chair and gulped down the tea. No matter how

"Allow me to clarify something. Your approval isn't necessary, nor is your gratitude," Dustin stated calmly. He continued, "Also, in matters of healing and saving lives, your interference is unwelcome. If you don't agree, feel free to demonstrate the capabilities of the Celestial Alliance disciples."A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he spoke. He wasn't typically one to engage in conflict, but Brian's persistent provocations had tested his patience. Dustin was confident he could handle Brian despite his waning true energy reserves."Oh, did I hit a nerve? Is that why you're so worked up? I knew you were a fraud!" Brian sneered.He added, "Trying to deceive us? Well, kid, you've messed with the wrong faction. Today, you'll learn just how unforgiving we can be."With that warning, he made a sudden move and grabbed Dustin's throat."Stop it!" Aurora's expression paled as she attempted to step in, but it was too late. Brian's strength overwhelmed her, and his unexpected attack o

Dustin's words left Aurora feeling conflicted. While she had faith in his medical expertise, concern for Alicia's health lingered.It was a classic dilemma of prioritizing caution over potential regret. What if Alicia remained unconscious? What would their next move be?"Aurora, I brought Dr. Rhys here, and I trusted him. Right now, Alicia needs rest. Forcing her awake won't help," Grace advised sincerely."Hmph! You two are obviously working together, of course, you'd say that!" Brian continued to stoke the fire. He continued, "Aurora, don't listen to their smooth talk. Your sister waking up is the only real solution. Everything else is just empty talk!""Exactly. A patient's condition can change suddenly. Just because things seem stable doesn't guarantee they'll stay that way. Lives are on the line, and we need to proceed cautiously," Kenan added as he echoed his support for Brian.Kenan was a renowned doctor in the martial world. He felt his pride sting as a newcomer took ove

Brian's face displayed confusion and embarrassment as Alicia stirred awake. Although her regaining consciousness surprised him, the bruise on his ego stung him even more. The way Dustin and Grace eyed him only made him feel more like a fool. Now that Alicia was awake, everything he had done before seemed like a farce, and he had never felt so humiliated. At that moment, his hatred toward Dustin and Grace reached its peak. "Alicia, how are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort?" Aurora asked, leaning in with concern."My head's throbbing…" Alicia grimaced and massaged her temples. Then, she asked, "Why am I here? What happened?"She felt disoriented. Her mind was shrouded in fog, and she had no memory of what had happened, which left her utterly bewildered."You were poisoned and in critical condition. Faith and Dr. Rhys came to your aid just in time, or you might not have made it," Aurora recounted the harrowing experience.Upon hearing that, Alicia's gaze shifted to Grace

"Alicia, the person you're seeking is a highly skilled mystic artist with formidable powers and used cunning methods. You need to be careful," Grace warned."Don't worry. The Celestial Alliance has extensive surveillance and a team of elite fighters. Once we find his whereabouts, we'll mobilize and capture him. He won't slip away," Aurora assured confidently."You've already saved my life, Faith. So, you don't need to stress about capturing the perpetrator," Alicia said with a smile."Looks like I've been worrying too much." Grace nodded, acknowledging their abilities. The Celestial Alliance wasn't to be underestimated. Once they gathered their elite fighters, capturing a mystic artist should be relatively easy. Even the Hall of Gods wouldn't dare to confront them head-on in Dragonmarsh."Dr. Rhys, you saved my life. I should properly thank you. What can I do to repay you?" Alicia asked.She disliked being indebted to anyone. But since Dustin had saved her, she felt obligated to

"We set the criteria, and they can be changed at any time. Considering Dr. Rhys' exceptional talent, we should give him special attention," Alicia asserted firmly."Exactly!" Aurora chimed in. "Dr. Rhys not only has remarkable medical skills but also saved Alicia's life. Offering him a consultancy position is the least we can do."At first, she had reservations about Dustin and doubted his abilities due to his age. However, her perspective changed after he cured Alicia. A young doctor with skills surpassing even Kenan's was a valuable asset anywhere."Alicia, Aurora! Rules are in place for a reason. If we start bending them for one person, how can our faction maintain its credibility?" Brian argued. He added, "Moreover, only the elders and the guildmaster have the authority to appoint a consultant. Neither you nor I have the power to make that decision.""My dad values talent. If he knew about Dr. Rhys' abilities, he would certainly support us," Alicia insisted.Though the Cel
