Chapter - 102 Everyone Showing Off Their Abilities (6) (2/2)

Guo Jing saw that the inn was small and dirty, but fearing for Wang Chuyi's safety, he immediately dashed in and placed Wang Chuyi down.

Wang Chuyi said, ”Find me a big tank…of water…..fresh…clean water…hurry…hurry up.”

Guo Jing asked, ”Is there anything else?”

Wang Chuyi remained silent and just waved his hands to hurry Guo Jing.

Guo Jing hurried out of the room, asked a inn waiter to help him prepare the water and gave him some money to do so, before rewarding the boy with some coins.

Ever since Guo Jing came to the central plains, he came to understand the importance of bribing. The inn boy was overjoyed, and hurriedly fetched a huge tank and filled it with clean water, Guo Jing went back to inform Wang Chuyi that the water was ready.

Wang Chuyi responded, ”Good…good child, now carry me and put me in the water…don't allow…anyone to come here.”

Guo Jing did not understand why Wang Chuyi wanted to do this but did as he was told, the clean water covered Wang Chuyi's head and Guo Jing instructed the inn boy to keep everyone out.

Wang Chuyi sat quietly with his eyes closed and breathed urgently, after awhile, the water turned black and colour began to return to his cheeks. Wang Chuyi said to Guo Jing, ”Help me out and change the water.”

Guo Jing changed the water before helping Wang Chuyi in again, it was after awhile before Guo Jing learnt that Wang Chuyi was using his internal energy to force out the poison in him, and allow the poison to float in the water, Guo Jing changed the water four times before no more poison came out of Wang Chuyi and the water stayed clear.

Wang Chuyi finally smiled and said, ”It's okay now.” He climbed out of the water and sighed, ”This lama's skills are deadly.”

Guo Jing was relieved and asked whether was there poison on the lama's palms.

Wang Chuyi replied, ”Yes, I have seen the poison sand palms many times, but this is the strongest one yet such that it almost cost me my life.”

Guo Jing replies, ”Luckily you are alright now. What do you want to eat? I'll ask the inn boy to buy.”

Wang Chuyi asked Guo Jing to borrow some ink and a brush before writing down some medicine formula.

Wang Chuyi explained, ”Although my life is not in danger now, my internal organs is not fully cleansed off the poison, if I do not cleanse the poison in twelve hours time, I may be crippled for life.”

Guo Jing received the medicine formula and rushed out, he saw that there was a medicine shop nearby and quickly asked the owner for the medicine formula.

The owner checked his shelves, but returned empty-handed after awhile and said, ”So sorry, you came at the wrong time, the medicine herbs that you need are out of stock.”

Guo Jing did not wait for him to finish and dashed to find another medicine shop, but to his surprise, the second medicine shop he went to also did not have the formula he wanted, it was the same result even after he went to eight shops.

Guo Jing grew anxious and angry at this time and ran to all the medicine shops in the city, only to get the same answer, that they had huge stock of the herbs he wanted but was all bought by someone earlier. It was then that Guo Jing realize that the people in the Zhao residence must have guessed that Wang Chuyi needed the medicine for his injury and thus, purposely buy up all the medicine herbs, so as to harm Wang Chuyi.

Dejected, Guo Jing returned to the inn and told Wang Chuyi what had happen and the latter responded with a sigh and also looked dejected. Guo Jing was so miserable that he leaned on top of the table and cried out aloud.
