5 Purplish Blue and White Flower Poison (2/2)

Can't say for sure?

Shen Jing was slightly stunned. Listening to his words, could it be that he really had an inkling of what it was? In a state of curiosity, she also walked over to the bedside subconsciously.

The girl seated at the bedside quickly got up and made way as she saw them approach, afraid that she would affect the two of them at work, not caring at all whether or not they were doctors.

Mo Wen walked to the bedside and very naturally rolled up the old man's sleeve. He started to feel his pulse. Even though it was his first time taking someone's pulse and diagnosing an illness, his actions were all very natural as if he had already practiced the motion hundreds and thousands of times. People who did not know would have really thought that he was a medical expert from somewhere.

After a moment of his diagnosis, he retrieved his hand and an enlightened expression spread across his face; one that also seemed like he was deep in thought.

”How is it?”

Shen Jing had kept her eyes on Mo Wen throughout and Mo Wen's previous skilled actions also took her by surprise. At this time, she subconsciously just asked him this question as if Mo Wen was the doctor and she—who was a doctor in reality—was just a bystander.

”If what I expect is not wrong, Lao Yun should have been poisoned.”

Mo Wen's expression looked conflicted as he said this. The poison that Lao Yun got was exceptionally familiar to him. Before, he could not be sure but after a round of taking his pulse, it was basically confirmed.

When he started talking about it, he realized the poisoning that Lao Yun had received was one that he had gotten before. Of course, it was not the present him, but him from the memory of his past life. It was in the memory of his past life when his sister, Mo Dong, had caught a weird and serious disease, and he travelled across the world in search of a cure.

During that period, he had often weaved through deep mountains and old forests, personally trying hundreds of leaves and grasses and using his own body to test thousands of rare medicinal items. Amongst them, there were hundreds that he did not know the name of, which caused his body to get poisoned a total of 10 different times. If not for his excellent medical skills, he would have long been dead.

However, out of helplessness, he ultimately barged into the foggy mountains that were fraught with dangers. His eventual fate of whether he lived or died was yet to be known.

The poison that Lao Yun got was one of the ten that he had gotten back in those years. It was called the Purplish Blue and White Flower Poison. Even though this poison was not one that was lethal at once, it was incredibly difficult to cure completely. Once one was poisoned with it, it was highly difficult to cure and, in most cases, the poisoned party would remain in the poisoned state before slowly being tortured to death. It was obvious that it was even scarier than dying instantly from it.

The Purplish Blue and White Flower Poison naturally came from the Purplish Blue and White Flower. The Purplish Blue and White Flower could be seen as a miracle drug and was a rare miracle to find back in that world of his. However, the mature Purplish Blue and White Flower contained poison and accidentally coming into contact with it would render one with an inescapable nightmare.

Thus, although the Purplish Blue and White Flower was a miracle drug, nobody dared to use it. Only the great medical masters who knew how to neutralize the poison in the Purplish Blue and White Flower could use it as a medicinal item.

The thing that Mo Wen found weird was that there was actually the Purplish Blue and White Flower on earth, and it was even a matured one. Lao Yun had perhaps not known of the lethal effects of the Purplish Blue and White Flower which caused him to get poisoned from his lack of fear of it.

”Poisoned! How can it be?”

Shen Jing had an obvious look of disbelief on her face and no matter what had happened, she was still a doctor, so why should she listen to Mo Wen spouting nonsense?

Generally speaking, only the poisonings that were immediately lethal were the ones that could not be treated. However, once one arrived at the hospital, poisoning was not a scary thing anymore. No matter the lethalness of the poison, hospitals had many methods to treat the poison.

Even if the poison affected the nerve, it could be easily dispelled although doing so slowly may cause brain damage or cause the person to become a vegetable, someone with dementia or a fool. But the poison would have been eradicated.

However, the situation now was an illness that rendered many expert medical doctors helpless. How could it be an illness that was incited by poisoning?

Mo Wen glanced at Shen Jing but did not bother about her. Some things just could not be explained to her. Naturally, the Purplish Blue and White Flower Poison was not a simple poison, and normal cures for poisoning were of no use at all. If they did not cure the root of the problem, they did not even have to bother thinking about detoxifying the poison. Because the Purplish Blue and White Flower Poison adhered to mysterious channels in the human body and surrounding subcutaneous ulcers, it made the usual methods of a cure impossible for the detoxification.

”May I ask… Can it be cured?”

The girl called Xiaoman saw that Mo Wen had drawn a conclusion and happiness flashed past her face for an instant. She did not care what the reason for her grandfather's illness was. Instead, she just wanted to know if he could be cured.

”It's not impossible, but it will be difficult. At least, I won't be able to do it.”

Mo Wen inhaled deeply but said this helplessly. If he was still the miraculous physician that he had remembered, then detoxifying the poison was not anything difficult. He had many methods of dispelling the Purplish Blue and White Flower Poison because regardless, he had over ten poisons in his body back then and still prolonged his life by a few years. Many odd poisons were even more lethal than the Purplish Blue and White Flower Poison by hundreds and thousands of times; many of those trifling poisons were incomparable with regards to everything else.

Now, he had switched up his time and space and the situation was now different. He was now just Mo Wen on earth and not Mo Wen, the miraculous physician. Just based on that condition alone, there were many things that could no longer be satisfied.

For example, medicinal herbs. He knew of a few medicinal items that could neutralise the Purplish Blue and White Flower Poison, but it may not necessarily be available on Earth. Even if there were, it was impossible for the name to be the same. To collect those medicinal items one by one… he did not even dare to think about how long it would take.

Apart from that, there was also another method that used the golden needle. He would draw the needle into the channels of the body using his internal energy and dispel all the poison within. However, internal energy had to be trained from a young age and in that lifetime, he had trained up his internal energy rather well; so much so that it was enough to dispel the Purplish Blue and White Flower Poison. Yet, this current body of his did not have a hint of training of internal energy and therefore it was impossible for him to execute the golden needle technique to help the patient.
