Chapter 2 - Days of Medical Injuries
The next morning, the weather was beautiful.
Chu Tian followed beside Chu Yunxue as per usual, but the temperament of his entire being was no longer that of a servant. After all, he had experienced too much in her previous life and was once again the future generation's Medicine King.
Living a new life had long ago become incomparable to the past.
Even though he was currently weak, his memories were like a treasure trove. He had thousands upon thousands of cultivation manuals, future generations' knowledge on medicinal pills, countless formulas for medicinal pills, and all sorts of dangerous places to explore.
Thus, he had the ability to rise to prominence in this era. It was hard to find something that could earn him money.
Just then, the Chu Family's old manager hurried over and stood in front of Chu Yunxue, and said repeatedly, ”Young miss, the old master has returned from his training, but he is covered in wounds, I am afraid he has met with some mishap.”
Hearing this, Chu Tian, who was standing at the side, slandered, ”Looks like what should happen is still unavoidable. In my previous life, it was only because Patriarch Chu was heavily injured and his strength plummeted that the Chu Family stood alone in the Hundred Miles City with no support, and in the end, walked towards destruction.”
”How are my father's injuries? Are they serious?” Chu Yunxue asked nervously.
”Eldest Miss, you'll know after you go take a look.”
Under the lead of the old steward of the Chu residence, they arrived at a building in the inner court of the Chu residence. Under the guidance of the old steward of the Chu residence, they arrived at a building in the inner court of the Chu residence.
In a corner of the hall, a middle-aged man was lying on a bed. He was covered with wounds, and his body was trembling.
”Dad, what happened to you?” Seeing that, Chu Yunxue's eyes became moist. She half knelt beside the bed and held onto the middle aged man's arm.
At this moment, an elderly walked over and consoled her, ”Yun Xue, your father is delirious and needs to recuperate. I gave him some healing pills just now, so I believe he has suppressed his injuries.”
”Grand Elder, what happened to my father? Who was the culprit behind this?”
”The matter is still under investigation, but with the Patriarch's cultivation, those who can injure him to such an extent are definitely not ordinary people, and the only experts in our Hundred Miles City, can be counted with a single hand. I believe that we will very quickly find out who did it.”
When he was young, his talent was average, but he was immersed in the process of pill refining. In these recent years, he had broken through the sacred art realm, and could be considered a person who had reached great heights.
In Chu Tian's memories, this Chu Xiu was a very loyal person. Even though the Chu Family had been ostracized and their people had all been wiped out, he still stayed behind.
”Grand Elder, the Patriarch's current injuries are still very serious, not something that can be healed with just a few healing pellets. Just look at the wound on the Patriarch's body, it has a black bruise on it. At this time, Chu Tian stood up and said repeatedly.
Chu Xiu frowned, in terms of alchemy skills, even Hundred Miles City would not be able to find another person who could compare to him, and this immature brat actually dared to raise a question?
”Nonsense, I just observed that there is no trace of poison in the Patriarch's body.”
”First Elder, if you are able to discover any traces of poison, then it will be too late. If I am not wrong, there should be a special kind of snake poison on the Patriarch's wound.”
”What nonsense. The wound on the Patriarch's body was obviously caused by a sharp sword. How did he get infected by the snake poison?”
”This, well, it's very simple. If someone who is concerned were to extract the snake poison and apply it on the sharp sword, wouldn't the wound caused by that be tainted by the snake poison?”
With this explanation, the previously angry Chu Xiu quietened down. His wrist flashed and a silver needle appeared between his fingers. He turned around and stabbed into the Patriarch's wound, and the moment he pulled out the silver needle, his heart sank.
The silver needle was black and showed signs of being poisoned.
”According to the judgement of the poison, it should be a venomous snake that has been poisoned for hundreds of years, whose strength is on par with the experts of the sacred art realm. Normally, the head of the family could still use his deep cultivation base to suppress it for a period of time, but right now, he is severely injured, and is also infected with the venomous snake, what should we do?” Chu Xiu was silent for a moment, and said helplessly.
Chu Yunxue who was half-squatting on the side of the bed immediately stood up, her eyes were slightly red and swollen, her exquisite face still had traces of tears, causing her heart to ache.
