Chapter 881: Being Safe from Any Poison

“A Dao license plate?”

“Have you heard of the Valley of Thousands of Medicine?” w.a.n.g Yao asked. He was now interested in the name that reappeared.

“I haven't heard of it,” Jia Zizai said.

“I don't know either.” Hu Mei shook her head.

“We have not completed any tasks in the southern Yunnan area. It would be purely to tour the area if we went there.”

“If you want to know something, I can find someone to help with that.”

They were unfamiliar with the place in south Yunnan, but some people knew it well. They could ask for information about it through their previous channels.

“Will I cause you any trouble?”

“You will not.”

“OK, please ask them about it.”

“OK.”

While they were talking, another patient entered the clinic. Jia Zizai and Hu Mei got up and left.

Xu Xinyuan rushed to Dao after leaving the mountain village. He took the next plane to southern Yunnan. He arrived in He County that night and rested in a temporary residence there. He met Guo Zhenghe the next day.

“Uncle Xu, is everything alright?” Seeing that Xu Xinyuan seemed normal, Guo Zhenghe was relieved.

“Well, the doctor you introduced to me was really good. The medicine was a sure cure.”

“Yes, his medical skills are really superb and rarely seen in the world,” Guo Zhenghe said. “Unfortunately, my relations.h.i.+p with him is not very harmonious.”

“Oh.” Xu Xinyuan responded but did not make an evaluation. After all, it was not his place to say anything about it. He only thought, What a pity!

He should have thought of a way to create a good relations.h.i.+p with someone like Mr. w.a.n.g.

He could not guarantee that he would not get sick or be affected by a disaster in his life.

“Uncle Xu, take a break. Don't worry about the Valley of Thousands of Medicine for the time being.”

“Ah, good,” Xu Xinyuan replied.

In his current situation, he couldn't do anything he wanted. It was better to take a break to save energy.

“Uncle Xu, how did you get poisoned?” Guo Zhenghe asked.

That was his main concern. He needed to know the details and means of the other party before he could take any precautions.

“I was shot by an arrow when I went to the Valley of Thousands of Medicine. I was only slightly injured and bled a little. I didn't care too much about it. I simply treated the wound. I thought it might heal on its own at the time I was poisoned.”

“Um.” Guo Zhenghe nodded.

“Bleeding and being poisoned?”

“Yes, but I heard that their methods are far more than that,” Xu Xinyuan said. “Colorless and odorless poisons are also available. They can poison people without them being aware of it, and nothing can be detected in the hospital.”

“They live in a remote place out of the secular world,” Guo Zhenghe said. “Why do they study poison?”

“This is unclear. Maybe it was just pa.s.sed down.” Xu Xinyuan said.

“Uncle Xu, you have worked hard,” Guo Zhenghe solemnly said.

“You're welcome, Childe.”

“Don't do anything else for now. Get some good rest,” Guo Zhenghe said as he gave him a bank card.

“The pa.s.sword is still your birthday.”

“My Childe, there is no need. I haven't run out from last time.”

“Take it as a little compensation for your troubles,” Guo Zhenghe said. He could not think of a better way to show his appreciation. Money and beauty were commonly used to capture people's hearts, but Xu Xinyuan did not like girls, according to what he knew.

“OK, thank you.”

“I hope this thing is over now,” Guo Zhenghe murmured as he looked out the window.

Hundreds of miles away, the Valley of Thousands of Medicine was surrounded by mountains and forests.

In the largest wooden building…

“Master, are you looking for me?”

“Did you catch the outsider?”

“No, but he shouldn't be able to live much longer. He was. .h.i.t by a poisonous arrow.”

“Hmm.” Miao Xihe, who was sitting cross-legged, slightly nodded.

“Has Qingshan been found?”

“No.”

“Look for him again,” Miao Xihe said. “Try your best to find him as soon as possible. He is the only bloodline of the old patriarch, so he can't die.”

“Yes, Master,” Miao Qingfeng said.

“Also, have the people outside pay attention to Captain Yang's news and see if he said something that should not be said.”

“Yes, Master,” Miao Qingfeng said. “Do we need to address it directly?”

“No, we have already been given too much attention,” Miao Xihe said.

“We are just a small village outside the secular world. We can't attract any more attention.”

“OK, I see. He shouldn't find anything useful.”

“That would be best.”

“We have reached a critical moment, so there must be no errors,” Miao Xihe said.

“Yes, Master.”

Miao Qingfeng retreated from the wooden building.

“Master has changed,” he whispered as he left.

After the people from the outside left, the village was restored to the peace of the past.

The lake in the middle was calm.

“Hoo-huh!” The waves suddenly turned up. A dark shadow could be seen pa.s.sing by.

In a mountain village thousands of miles away…

w.a.n.g Yao called Zhong Liuchuan, Jia Zizai, and Hu Mei to the clinic.

“Sir, do you have any questions for us?”

“There is something,” w.a.n.g Yao said with a laugh.

“Come on, drink it.” w.a.n.g Yao poured a bowl of medicine for each of them.

“What is this?” Jia Zizai could smell the scent of medicine. It was not particularly pungent, but it smelled unique as he brought it closer to his face.

“It is medicine,” w.a.n.g Yao bluntly said.

“Medicine? What kind of medicine is it? I am not sick at all.”

“Hha… It's not a cure, it's preventive medicine for the harmful effects of poisoning.” w.a.n.g Yao laughed.

“I made this detoxification powder, which can detoxify 100 poisons,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “After you take it, you will gradually change your physical system. It can eventually make you immune to any poison.”

“Really?” Jia Zi asked in surprise.

To be safe from any form of poison was only found in movies and novels. He did not expect someone to reach a level like that in real life.

“Of course, it is true.”

This idea suddenly came to w.a.n.g Yao the day before after treating the patient with the strange poison in his body. At that time, he was wondering what would have happened if he was not available when Zhong Liuchuan was poisoned. Should he ask them to always carry an antidote with them, or solve it fundamentally? He chose the latter and considered it for a whole afternoon and night. He came up with a new method, which was to change their physical system so that they could be safe from any poison like in novels or movies.

He brewed the medicines, which had a simple composition of shanjing plus detoxification gra.s.s, all of which was spiritual gra.s.s.

“Thank you, Sir.” Zhong Liuchuan raised his bowl of medicine and drank it.

“Is it bitter or not, Brother?” Jia Zizai asked. He drank the potion before he got the answer.

It was not as bitter as he thought. If one felt it carefully, one could sense a unique aura from it.

Hu Mei drank along with them.

“How do you feel?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“Well, it is weird,” Jia Zizai said.

After drinking this bowl of medicine, his belly only felt slightly warm. There was no other feeling.

“It's time to practice the method of self-renewing to induce Qi,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

After listening to his words, the three of them, with no doubt or hesitation, sat on the ground and started to practice. They soon felt their bodies beginning to change. The warmth in their abdomens turned into thousands of branches growing inside their bodies. It spread through their limbs and into their extremities. Their bodies were very comfortable. It felt like a warm spring breeze was blowing over them.

“Huh, it is so comfortable!”

The method of self-renewing to induce Qi caused the Qi inside the body to flow like a river.

The feeling of warmth gradually faded. The three of them successively ended their practice.

“How is it?”

Zhong Liuchuan thought for a while and said, “I feel very comfortable as if there is a tonic in this potion.”

Yes, there was a tonic in it.

“What about you? How do you feel after drinking the medicine?”

“Well, I feel like I drank the soup made from ginseng and stewed chicken,” Jia Zizai said. “It's like a concentrated version of the meal.”

“I'm feeling pretty comfortable after taking the medicine,” Hu Mei said with a laugh. She couldn't tell more detailed feelings. She just felt comfortable and a lukewarm sensation in her belly.

“OK, there is nothing else,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “We will continue to practice tomorrow. For the next seven days, we will watch the results.”

The shanjing and detox herb had mild medicinal properties. They had no toxins or side effects, so they would not harm the body even if used in the long term.

“Thank you, Sir.”

Three people left the clinic.

“Brother, has Mr. w.a.n.g ever given you medicine before?” Jia Zizai curiously asked.

“No, never, but he gave me a wooden sign,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

“What kind of wooden sign is it?”

“This one.” Zhong Liuchuan took out the pharmacist order that w.a.n.g Yao had given him.
