"He won't die if he faints quickly?"
Emperor Shen Zhui, Liu Ling, and Zheng Fei stared at one another in confusion.
Aren't they here to save him?
What is the use of something that can knock someone unconscious?
They have only heard of methods such as infusing zhenqi, consuming medicine, and acupuncture. Is there such a method?
Different from the others, Zhuang Xian's mouth twitched. He felt his buttocks tightening and a constipated feeling welled up in him.
Even though he had used a lot of medicine, his face was still swollen today. Even though he was grateful to the other party for helping him achieve a breakthrough... Wasn't his method a little too unorthodox?
Ordinary master teachers would follow a certain procedure when helping others achieve a breakthrough, and it had even become a norm. Yet, this fellow covered his head with a wooden stick... Even thinking about it now, Zhuang Xian felt a lingering fear.
Of course, his situation was unique, so it was understandable. However, what is the use of something that can knock someone unconscious to save a dying Shen Hong?
It can't be that he is going to use some incomprehensible treatment method again, right...
"There is a kind of medicinal powder here that can knock someone unconscious with just a whiff..."
After hesitating for a moment, Emperor Shen Zhui said.
There were all kinds of medicine in the royal palace, so it wasn't difficult to find something that could knock someone unconscious.
"Alright, bring it over!" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up as he instructed.
Not too long later, a eunuch passed a jade bottle over.
Opening the jade bottle, he saw a white powder within.
"Not bad."
Nodding his head in satisfaction, Zhang Xuan picked up the jade bottle and walked up to Shen Hong. Under everyone's doubtful gazes, he pointed the bottle at the old ancestor of the royal family, who was gasping for breath, and said confidently, "Sniff! Come, sniff it! "
Putong!
Everyone nearly fainted.
Initially, they were wondering what use this medicine would have, but upon hearing those words, the three master teachers and Emperor Shen Zhui nearly choked on their saliva.
Other people usually consume nourishing medicine, drink spirit essence, and absorb spiritual energy... Yet, you are asking him to sniff a knockout powder...
You aren't here to save someone but to kill him!
Everyone was frenzied. The old ancestor of the royal family struggled and shook his head in horror. If not for the fact that he was unable to move, he would have long escaped.
Even when he was healthy, sniffing this would place a burden on his body. Now that he is on the verge of death, you still want me to sniff it? You want to help me?
Anxious, he hurriedly turned to look at Emperor Shen Zhui.
Didn't you want to invite a great teacher to treat me so that I could achieve a breakthrough and extend my lifespan?
Why do you want me to sniff the knockout drug?
What are you looking for?
What a scam!
"Cough cough, Yang shi … the old ancestor's body is already extremely weak. I fear that … if you were to take a whiff of it … he might not be able to withstand it!"
Seeing the doubtful gaze of the Royal Elder, Emperor Shen Zhui's mouth twitched and he hurriedly stepped forward.
After witnessing Yang shi's incredible means the previous day, he thought that it would only be limited to achieving breakthroughs. Never in his dreams did he expect that it would be so freaking inconceivable as well.
Judging from the old ancestor's appearance, it's already a great deal of willpower that he was able to hold on until you arrived. If he had really taken a whiff of it, even if he hadn't died, he would have been dead by now.
"Can't take it?" Zhang Xuan stopped.
From the looks of it, this fellow could breathe his last at any moment. If he really fainted and lost his faith, he might really die on the spot.
I can't let him pass out, but I can't punch him either?
What to do?
Zhang Xuan was troubled.
Initially, he thought that with the Library of Heaven's Path, he would be able to find the crux of the problem easily. Even if he was unable to find a solution, he would at least be able to explain the situation. Yet, the other party was already in a half-dead state, and he was helpless.
"Then … is there anything that can temporarily boost his vitality, such that he won't die even if he falls unconscious?"
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuan asked.
Since the old ancestor was on the verge of death, it was impossible for him to knock him out with knockout drugs. Thus, he could only find a way to temporarily boost his vitality and ensure that he wouldn't die.
"Knock him out?"
Everyone stared at one another.
It seemed like this Yang shi was determined to knock Royal Elder Shen Hong unconscious …
"Liu Shi, is there any diagnosis method that … requires a person to be knocked unconscious in order to make a diagnosis?" Zhuang Xian asked telepathically.
There were many ways a master teacher could diagnose a person, just like how a physician would diagnose a patient. Only through these methods could a master teacher understand the other party's condition and find out the crux of the problem.
The method of this' expert 'was simply too bizarre. Even a master teacher would be unable to comprehend it.
"This … Generally, the diagnosis can only be made when the other party is conscious. As for unconscious … I don't know either!" Liu Ling shook his head.
He was knowledgeable and had traveled to many kingdoms. He had seen people waking up an unconscious person to make a diagnosis, but he had never heard of anyone knocking an unconscious person out.
A person who had fainted didn't even have consciousness, making him no different from a corpse. How could he find the problem?
…
The master teachers were bewildered. Emperor Shen Zhui was dumbfounded as well. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "This … The Royal Elder has already consumed all of the tonics available to him. Medicine that can boost one's vitality is no longer effective on him …"
Shen Hong had the backing of a kingdom, and in order to extend his life, he had consumed all kinds of medicine. As such, his body had already developed a strong resistance to them. Even if he were to be given more medicine now, it would be ineffective.
Hearing the other party's words, Zhang Xuan felt even more dismal.
Initially, he was thinking of feeding him some medicine so that he could regain some of his vitality and execute a set of punches. However, this fellow was a medicinal pot, and medicine was ineffective on him ….
The heck, am I really going to fail this time?
"I do know of something that can boost one's vitality for a short period of time. It is similar to what Emperor Shen Zhui said previously. After consuming it, it can boost the vitality of a weakened person, and the side effects are minimal. However …"
Liu Ling pondered for a moment before speaking. At this point, he hesitated.
"However what?"
Zhang Xuan turned to look at him.
"However … This isn't a tonic, it is … poison!" Liu Ling said.
"Poison?"
Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
Wasn't poison supposed to kill a person? How could taking poison increase one's Essence, Qi, and Spirit? Moreover, the side effects were minimal?
Not only him, even Emperor Shen Zhui was perplexed. He looked at Zhang Xuan with a bizarre gaze.
"Everyone knows that poison master is an occupation of the Lower Nine Paths. Concocting medicine, backstabbing, and other despicable acts are despicable. However, the fact that this occupation was passed down to this day shows that there is value to its existence."
Zheng Fei said.
Any occupation that can be passed down must have its merits. One mustn't belittle it blindly.
Even though the reputation of poison masters isn't good, they do have their merits. For example, if an ordinary person wants to exterminate pests and avoid miasma, they would need the help of poison masters.
"Indeed, I have heard of it as well. I heard that it is concocted using a unique ratio of more than a dozen lethal poisons. Just like pill forging, it is extremely complicated. Due to the many different poisons neutralizing one another, a perfect balance is formed. Not only is it harmless to one's life, it can even stimulate one's potential, allowing one to recover one's vitality within a short period of time. It is extremely miraculous. "
Zhuang Xian seemed to have recalled it as well and nodded his head.
After which, he looked at Zhang Xuan with a bizarre expression. "Even though poison master is a rare occupation, concocting such a medicine is extremely common in Tier 1 Kingdoms. Yang shi … doesn't know of it?"
Not only was he perplexed, even Liu Ling and Zheng Fei were perplexed.
Master teachers must be knowledgeable. Upper, Middle, and Lower Nine Paths occupations, as well as some of their unique abilities, are required to answer in detail during the 1-star master teacher examination, just like how it is for an apprentice apothecary.
Any master teacher would know of it.
Since the person before them was able to offer them pointers, it was clear that his rank was extremely high. How could he possibly not have heard of poison masters and the medicine they concocted?
Instead, it seemed as though he was hearing of it for the first time.
"I … I don't like poison master, I don't have much of an interest in it …"
Seeing everyone's doubtful gazes, Zhang Xuan felt a little awkward.
With the Library of Heaven's Path in his possession, it was easy for him to offer pointers to others. However, when faced with such common knowledge, it was easy for him to give himself away.
As a master teacher, one had to possess a discerning eye to discern problems. The main reason for one's discerning eye was to possess an astounding amount of knowledge.
Without knowledge as a basis, how could one see through the crux of the problem and offer pointers?
And what Zhang Xuan lacked was this kind of accumulation.
It was possible for him to bluff others with the help of the Library of Heaven's Path, but when faced with such common knowledge, it was easy for him to give himself away.
"You don't like poison master? You don't have much of an interest in it? "
Liu Ling, Zhuang Xian, and the others stared at one another with a bizarre expression on their faces.
As long as one had been to a Tier 1 Kingdom, even a blind or deaf person would know a thing or two about poison master, needless to say, a high-ranked master teacher.
Besides, master teachers were impartial in their teachings. They had never heard of a person who didn't like poison master to study it …
These were clearly the words of a layman.
If not for the fact that the other party had offered them some pointers previously, they would have thought that the other party wasn't a master teacher at all, and they knew that the other party's understanding of cultivation was far beneath theirs.
"Do any of you have such a medicine?"
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Zhang Xuan knew that he had given himself away. However, he was thick-skinned and was able to keep his composure. Thus, he immediately changed the topic.
"This kind of medicine has to be concocted by a poison master on the spot. Otherwise, if a change were to occur in the medicine, there is a high chance that the balance of the medicine would be destroyed and it would turn into a lethal poison … How could we possibly have such a thing!"
Liu Ling shook his head. The doubt in his eyes grew deeper and deeper.
Isn't this Yang shi's words too naive?
No master teacher would ask such a question.
The same thought appeared in Zhuang Xian and Zheng Fei's minds. At this moment, they began to doubt whether this Yang shi was real or not.
"Is that so …" Knowing that the other party was doubting him, Zhang Xuan knew that the more he spoke, the more troublesome it would be. Thus, he turned to Emperor Shen Zhui and said, "Since it requires a poison master to concoct it, I'll have to trouble Your Majesty to find one to concoct it!"
At this point, Zhang Xuan paused for a moment. Paying no heed to the gazes of the crowd, he spoke with the authority and disposition unique to master teachers, "I require this medicine to treat your Royal Elder!"
"This …"
This time, not only were the three master teachers bewildered, even Emperor Shen Zhui was looking at him with a perplexed expression. "Our Tianxuan Kingdom is an unranked kingdom. There is no ranking system … There is no occupation known as a poison master … Yang shi, it can't be that you don't know about it?"
"You don't?"
Gedeng, Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
(It's time for the fourth chapter. Laoya continues writing. There are only seven and a half hours left before the doubling of the monthly tickets ends. By then, with more monthly tickets, we will be able to maintain our position in the top ten of the rankings. As long as we have more monthly tickets, there will definitely be more than five chapters today! It's possible that there will be six chapters or even seven chapters. Laoya will continue writing. I hope that there will be a significant increase in the monthly tickets after I come out of the black room and not be dragged further and further behind by others!)
