What the hell!
You don't even have the slightest bit of discernment, and you still want to acknowledge me as your teacher? Dream on!
The Eccentric Old Man curled his lips.
"…" Zhou Xuan wanted to cry but had no tears.
Just a moment ago, you looked like you were about to kill someone. How was I supposed to know that in the blink of an eye, you were going to serve me tea and make me look like an esteemed guest?
"What are you waiting for?"
Feeling depressed, he turned his head to look at the attendant.
"…" The attendant was speechless.
"Forget it, I'll do it myself!"
After a moment of hesitation, Zhou Xuan waved his hand.
Only by going there personally would it seem sincere.
He hurriedly ran to the opposite side and disappeared in front of everyone.
Ignoring Zhou Xuan, who had gone to make tea, Zhang Xuan walked into the room and sat at the head of the table.
The Eccentric Old Man sat below with a respectful expression.
"Senior … My Green Spittle Poison …"
After a moment of silence, the Eccentric Old Man finally couldn't take it anymore. He looked at Zhang Xuan cautiously with a yearning look in his eyes.
Since the other party was able to say so much in one breath and see so many symptoms, perhaps he might really be able to solve the problem.
With such a discerning eye, it wouldn't be too much to call him 'senior'.
"Green Spittle Poison is a grade-7 poison. Even a Seven Star Poison Master would find it difficult to treat the afflicted victim …" Zhang Xuan said.
The Eccentric Old Man's face paled.
If even a Seven Star Poison Master was unable to resolve the problem, wouldn't that mean that there was no hope at all?
"However, I … can undo it!"
Zhang Xuan.
"It can be solved?"
The Eccentric Old Man narrowed his eyes in astonishment as he clenched his fists tightly together. With a grim look on his face, he suddenly kneeled to the ground and begged, "Elder, please save me!"
He had been tormented by this virus for too long, and he couldn't hold on any longer. If he could get rid of it, he wouldn't hesitate to do anything, let alone kneel down.
Clang!
He had just knelt down.
Zhou Xuan, who was carrying a cup of tea, entered the room and saw this scene. He was so frightened that his hand trembled, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered.
He was really going crazy.
He was well aware of how arrogant the Eccentric Old Man was. Despite being the head of the Physician Guild, he had been paying his respects to the Eccentric Old Man every single day like a servant. Yet, the Eccentric Old Man couldn't even be bothered to spare him a glance.
It was just a moment ago that the other party had smashed the door of the other party's residence and reduced their saint beast to such a wretched state. Yet, not only was the other party not angry, he even asked him to serve him tea … and kneel before him!
Did it have to be so exciting?
A doctor suspected to be a Seven Star, an existence that even the City Lord did not pay any attention to, was kneeling in front of him …
Zhou Xuan felt as if the world he knew was collapsing, and his heart was about to explode.
"You're welcome, it's nothing much!"
Not expecting the other party to kneel, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"Senior, I happen to have a 200-year-old Sepulture Flower here. If you need it, you can just take it away …"
Recalling the medicinal herbs that Zhang Xuan had mentioned previously, the Eccentric Old Man quickly replied without any hesitation.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
The reason he had come here was for the Sepulture Flower. Since the other party had it and was even intending to gift it to him, it meant that the matter had already been settled.
"The Green Spittle Poison isn't difficult to treat, but you have been poisoned for more than twenty years now. The poison has already seeped into your bones and organs. Treating it with medicine alone won't do much. I'm afraid that we'll have to resort to some extreme measures..."
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment.
"As long as I can get rid of the poison, I'm willing to do anything!"
The Eccentric Old Man clenched his teeth.
"That's good!"
Seeing the sincerity in the other party's attitude, Zhang Xuan nodded with a smile. Flicking his wrist, he took out a piece of paper and a brush, and casually wrote down a prescription.
"Grab the medicinal herbs according to this prescription. The older, the better!"
Taking a look at the contents of the paper, the Eccentric Old Man paused for a moment before nodding. He passed the prescription to Zhou Xuan and said, "Grab these medicinal herbs, and I'll consider taking you in as my disciple!"
"Yes!"
Zhou Xuan's eyes lit up, and without any hesitation, he rushed out of the room.
"Prepare a large pot and place the medicinal herbs you grab into it. After that … you'll be steaming it."
Zhang Xuan said.
"Steaming?"
The Eccentric Old Man's eyebrows shot up.
Even though steaming was no longer a problem for someone of his strength, soaking in boiling water was definitely not comfortable either.
"Indeed. The poison in your body has been around for too long, and you have consumed a large amount of medicinal herbs. Your body is no different from a bottle of medicinal herbs. If you want to get rid of the poison, you'll have to steam all of these medicinal herbs in advance! "
Zhang Xuan said.
The Eccentric Old Man nodded.
As a physician, he had a deep understanding of his own body. Over the years, he had consumed at least a few antidotes.
With so many medicinal herbs accumulating in his body, as time passed, his body began to develop a resistance to them. Even if he were to obtain an antidote, it would still cause a reaction to occur, resulting in the loss of its optimal effect.
The purpose of steaming was to expel the remaining medicinal herbs from his body and allow his body to recover to its original state.
"After steaming, drink the medicinal wine in this gourd … Even if the Greenspittle Poison in your body is cured, it should be enough!"
With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xuan took out a gourd of fine wine.
If he wanted to resolve the Greenspittle Poison, ordinary medicinal herbs wouldn't be enough. Thus, he could only rely on his Heaven's Path zhenqi.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the other party had to nurse his body back to health first. Otherwise, the demand on his zhenqi would be astronomical.
A lethal poison that could kill a Saint 4-dan expert wasn't something that could be neutralized with just one or two surges of zhenqi.
"Thank you!"
The Eccentric Old Man hurriedly caught the gourd with gratitude in his eyes.
For the other party to give away a medicinal wine that could resolve a grade-7 poison so casually, its value definitely exceeded that of the Sepulture Flower.
"Elder, please wait for a moment. I'll bring the Sepulture Flower over right now …"
After learning of the treatment method, the Eccentric Old Man rushed out without any hesitation. Not too long later, he returned with a jade box.
Taking the jade box, Zhang Xuan opened it lightly, and he immediately saw a pure white medicinal herb lying within. It was reminiscent of the finest jade, and it exuded a faint fragrance.
"Un."
Nodding, Zhang Xuan passed the medicinal herb over to Hu Yunsheng and instructed, "Organize an auction. Make sure that the entire city knows that this medicinal herb is up for sale …"
"Yes!"
Hu Yunsheng nodded before leaving with the medicinal herb.
Knowing that the Eccentric Old Man wouldn't dare to cause any trouble due to the poison in his body, Zhang Xuan decided to leave him be and wait quietly.
Two hours later …
Zhou Xuan brought all of the medicinal herbs over, and only then did Zhang Xuan arrange for them to be boiled in a huge pot.
After the medicinal properties of the medicinal herbs were fully activated, Zhang Xuan placed the Eccentric Old Man into the pot.
Tzzzzzzzz!
The clear water in the pot seemed to have been dyed in ink, and it didn't take long for it to turn completely black. It was as if countless impurities were being expelled from his pores.
Zhang Xuan walked up to the Eccentric Old Man and tapped on his body repeatedly. Golden needles flew all over his body.
Some time later, after changing the water in the pot several times, the Eccentric Old Man's skin turned completely white. Only then did he stop and allow the other party to drink the gourd of fine wine.
Not too long later, the grayish color in his eyes gradually disappeared.
Hong long long!
Right after this was done, the Eccentric Old Man's body suddenly relaxed, and a powerful aura burst into the air. His Saint 1-dan cultivation abruptly surged.
"This …"
Zhou Xuan widened his eyes in disbelief.
"His cultivation has been suppressed by the lethal poison in his body. Now that he has successfully neutralized the poison, his cultivation will naturally return to normal!"
Seeing the bewildered look on Zhou Xuan's face, Zhang Xuan explained with a smile.
The reason why he was able to tell that the Eccentric Old Man had been poisoned was due to the battle technique that the Eccentric Old Man had executed, and a corresponding book had appeared in the Library of Heaven's Path.
It introduced the flaws in the Eccentric Old Man's body, as well as the other party's identity … A Seven Star pinnacle physician from Qingyuan Empire!
How could a physician of such caliber only possess the cultivation of Saint 1-dan?
Most likely, the other party was poisoned, and he had no choice but to hide in such a remote place to hide! Under the assault of the lethal poison, his cultivation had gradually been suppressed, resulting in his current state.
Now that the lethal poison had been neutralized, his suppressed cultivation had returned to normal.
Hong long long!
Raising his gaze, the Eccentric Old Man's cultivation was growing stronger and stronger. Soon, he broke through the bottleneck of Saint 1-dan and reached Spiritual Perception 2-dan.
Following which, he reached Embryonic Soul 3-dan.
Two hours later, his cultivation had already reached Saint 4-dan Primordial Spirit realm.
After the lethal poison had been neutralized, his cultivation had finally returned to normal.
"I …"
Standing up, the Eccentric Old Man felt the strength in his body, and his eyes reddened.
How many years had it been?
He had been looking forward to the day when he would be able to resolve the trauma in his body and regain his strength. He had thought that there was no hope left for him, but who could have thought that … the middle-aged man would actually resolve the issue so easily?
"Elder, thank you for your kindness!"
The Eccentric Old Man kneeled before Zhang Xuan.
The reason why he had kneeled before Zhang Xuan previously was because he wanted to beg the other party to save him. However, this time, he was truly sincere.
"There's no need to stand on ceremony."
Zhang Xuan nodded.
The other party was a physician, and he had saved countless lives. If he could help him, it was only right for him to do so.
"To be able to poison you like that, it must be the doing of a poison master, right?"
Zhang Xuan asked with a deep frown.
The Green Saliva Poison was a poison that even Seven Star poison masters would find difficult to concoct. Given that the other party was able to produce such a poison, it was likely that the other party had something to do with a poison master.
"It's indeed the doing of a poison master … However, since I have regained my cultivation, I'll make sure to make him pay the price …"
The Eccentric Old Man clenched his fists tightly.
"Un."
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to speak any further, Zhang Xuan decided not to probe any further.
"May I know how I should address you?"
The Eccentric Old Man turned to Zhang Xuan and asked.
He had to repay the debt of saving his life, and yet, he didn't even know the other party's name.
"I am Sun Qiang!"
Zhang Xuan.
"So, it's Elder Sun …"
The Eccentric Old Man nodded as he flicked his wrist and took out a token. "I have some standing in the Qingyuan Empire Physician Guild, so this is the token that represents my identity. If you ever have the opportunity to head to the Qingyuan Empire, you must look for me. I'll do my best to help you …"
"Alright then!"
Zhang Xuan accepted the token and nodded.
He was bound to head to the Qingyuan Empire, and since he had unintentionally received this favor, he had to make use of it in the future.
"Alright, since you have been cured of the poison, I won't be lingering here any longer. Farewell!"
After dealing with the other party's affliction, there was no need for Zhang Xuan to remain here any longer. Thus, he began making his way toward Inkcloud Quarter.
It didn't take long for him to arrive at Inkcloud Quarter, but before he could reach Hu Yunsheng, the latter was already rushing over with a livid face. As soon as he saw Zhang Xuan, he exclaimed, "Elder, bad news …"
