504 Daylight Robbery (1/2)
Chen Wuhui had never expected that things would end up like this. The person by his side was actually the one that wanted him dead.
If not for the appearance of Mo Wen, everyone would have probably been kept in the dark, and not a single person would have found out about this secret even after he died.
Chen Zikuang looked at Mo Wen with exceptional gratitude. He had never thought that things would turn out this way. It was fortunate that Mo Wen had appeared in time or the consequences would have been dire. Nobody had expected that a physician from the Medical Sect would be in cahoots with Sacred Flame Sect. If news of this got out, the reputation of Medical Sect would definitely be seriously affected.
”Although Old Grandfather Chen was poisoned rather seriously, it is not a poison without an antidote. If not for the foul play, with Old Grandfather Chen's Cultivation, even if the poison could not be gotten rid of, the outcome would not have been so dire.” Mo Wen smiled serenely. Although the green-colored poison was exceptionally potent, it was not sufficient to render a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner into that state. The most frightening thing was not the poison, but the human intention. If they let Yu Guang do as he wanted, even an ancient martial art practitioner with the highest Cultivation would not be able to persevere.
Mo Wen scanned the green-colored poison on the table, before walking over to it. He planned to keep it. On its own, it was not very potent. However, it could enhance the potency of other poisons by more than ten times. It was really quite interesting. He actually found it very odd, as he could not figure out just who had managed to experiment with strange poisons. In future, he would also experiment on them thoroughly.
Mo Wen knew quite a bit about poisons. Although he had never concocted any poison to harm people, the business of anti-venom was very profitable. In the medical world, the main principle was to use venom against venom. Hence, people who understood anti-venoms well were also great masters of concocting poison.
Back in those years when he had tried hundreds of herbs, his body had been poisoned by tens of weird poisons. In the end, all the venom of the poisons had disappeared and he had actually trained his body to be resistant to hundreds of poisons. His body back then was one that was not susceptible to any of the regular poisons.
”Mo Wen, can you rid Old Grandfather's body of the poison?” Chen Zikuang looked at Mo Wen in anticipation. Initially, he had not harbored much hope. However, after witnessing Mo Wen's techniques, hope was growing within him. Moreover, Mo Wen had also said before that it was not a poison without an anti-venom. Since he dared to say that, there had to be some way to get rid of the poison.
”Naturally, it is possible. However, the key thing affecting Old Grandfather's body is not the poison, but the internal injuries. The internal injuries he has sustained are just too serious. If the anti-venom is a little too strong, it would affect his injuries.”
Mo Wen scanned Chen Wuhui. If an ancient martial art practitioner with the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm could be forced into such a state, it was naturally not just the work of poison. The injuries on his body were also very serious. If it had been an ancient martial art practitioner with the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm instead, he would have lost his life due to such injuries.
Mo Wen was actually rather surprised that someone could have injured Chen Wuhui to such an extent.
”Young friend Mo Wen, please just do as you wish. I will say it again. If anything unfortunate happens, it just means that I am fated to die. I will definitely not blame my young friend.” Old Grandfather Chen had thought that Mo Wen was worried about an accident happening during the treatment process. Hence, he tried to reassure him. Anyway, even without treatment, he would die. By now, he actually treated life and death very lightly.
”You're thinking too much, Old Grandfather Chen. Since I have already taken action, I naturally have a certain level of confidence in it. The chance of an accident happening is simply too slim. However, your case is a little serious. If you want to recover fully, it will take more than just two or three days.”
An unyielding look flashed through Mo Wen's eyes. None of his patients had ever died from treatment. He had even treated the Massacre's Host before. The worst case scenario was that the treatment would simply be unsuccessful.
”Then I will have to rely on young friend Mo Wen's skilled hands.” Chen Wuhui smiled. If any other young person had said such things, he would have thought of them as overly arrogant. However, Mo Wen was different as he indeed had such capabilities.
”Deputy Sect Leader Chen, for the following treatment process, we require an absolutely quiet environment,” Mo Wen's gaze moved over to Chen Zikuang.
Upon hearing that, Chen Zikuang did not say a second word as he immediately ordered everyone to retreat before also leaving.
Finally, there were only Mo Wen and Chen Wuhui left in the room.
”Young friend Mo Wen, I believe you have something to say to me in private?” Chen Wuhui smiled. Beforehand, when Mo Wen had started treatment, he had not chased everyone out. Yet, he had now ushered everyone out, including Chen Zikuang. Clearly, he had some motive behind it.
”Old Grandfather Chen is the Sect Leader of Intentionless Sect indeed. Your eyes are so sharp.” Mo Wen laughed.
”Praising an old man like me for no reason must mean that there is nothing good about this.” Chen Wuhui smiled.
”What are you saying? Of course it is something good, which is why I have to share it with you privately and prevent others from finding out. If I say that I can help you recover fully in a week, would you believe me?”
