That Potent?
Chu Xinghe stepped forward and came to Old Master Zhao's side.
The evil fire within Old Master Zhao's body had reached its peak.
It had reached a point where even he himself could no longer control it. Now, with the evil fire launching a counterattack, it seemed he could be on the verge of death at any moment.
Upon seeing this, Chu Xinghe was greatly shocked.
This won't do! I haven't even made a move yet, Old Master Zhao, you have to hold on!
The Grand Elder said that you are the most upright Zhao Zhidong!
You have to hold on! You can't turn into a monster so early, and you can't give in!
"Xinghe, tell me."
The First Elder looked at Chu Xinghe's expression and spoke calmly.
"Elder, if I'm not mistaken, the evil fire in Old Master Zhao's body should be the cause of his symptoms. Many years ago, when Old Master Zhao broke through to the Martial Emperor realm, something must have gone wrong. At that time, the evil fire grew in his body, but the old master's cultivation was very high, and he could temporarily suppress the evil fire, so he probably didn't tell anyone. At that time, he missed the best time to clear the evil fire."
Chu Xinghe's words were met with nods of agreement from everyone present.
The Little Squirrel looked at Senior Brother Xinghe with adoration. Senior Brother Xinghe is so handsome...
Chen Xuewang frowned slightly; this Chu Xinghe was quite capable.
Wu Qun nodded secretly, sighing inwardly.
He brought his two best disciples with him. He had previously sent Luo Ying'er and Chen Xuewang to check on Old Master Zhao's condition, but the two could only determine that it was caused by evil fire in the old man's body. As for why the evil fire had become like this, the two of them stammered.
Chu Xinghe's Medicine Saint Inheritance is indeed impressive; he not only knows the reasons behind things, but also their origins.
Old Master Zhao's biggest problem is that he is too stubborn. When the evil fire first appeared, whether he did it himself or the Grand Elder did it, it would not have been difficult to draw the evil fire out of his body and completely eliminate its source.
However, Old Master Zhao chose to suppress his feelings, which caused him to miss the best time for treatment.
"Continue!" The Grand Elder nodded in satisfaction.
"Well, Xinghe has made a fool of himself. Old Master Zhao's evil fire wasn't strong at first, just troublesome. But after missing the best time for treatment, the evil fire started to grow continuously. Now, the evil fire has overwhelmed Old Master Zhao's own power, Old Master Zhao is powerless to suppress it. This is the main reason for his coma."
"Then how should it be treated?" The First Elder looked at Chu Xinghe with shining eyes.
"Under normal circumstances, it's best to draw out the evil fire. Using the Immortal Guidance Pill in combination with the Wuji Pill, the Immortal Guidance Pill draws the evil fire out of the body, while the Wuji Pill strengthens the righteous energy. However... this is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause."
Upon hearing Chu Xinghe's words, the Grand Elder's face lit up with pride.
Wu Qun sighed helplessly... Such a good disciple, if only he were one of his own...
Look at Chu Xinghe, and then look at your own two...
One is swooning over a crush, and the other... well... the other one is even worse than the one swooning over a crush.
"Xinghe, what you're describing is exactly the method I used before. So, what do you think should be done to treat this?" Wu Qun asked.
"It's hard to say right now." Chu Xinghe shook his head.
"What do you think of Immortal Yuan Pill with Heartless Pill?" The Grand Elder looked at Chu Xinghe.
Upon hearing the elder's words, Wu Qun was taken aback, but then a wry smile appeared on his face.
Immortal Yuan Pill plus Heartless Pill... Why didn't I think of that...? It seems I still have a long way to go compared to the Grand Elder.
The method suggested by the Grand Elder was indeed feasible, but Wu Qun carefully considered it and concluded that it was merely a temporary solution.
Chu Xinghe was also greatly surprised when he heard about the Grand Elder's method.
What the hell!
Is the Grand Elder really that powerful? Even with the Medicine Saint Inheritance, I couldn't come up with a good solution for a while.
The Grand Elder actually thought of it. These two kinds of pills could indeed suppress the symptoms temporarily, but as for a cure, that was absolutely impossible. At most, they could only delay the disease for a few days.
"This method might be worth a try!" Wu Qun gave the Grand Elder a thumbs up.
Before the Grand Elder could even enjoy himself, Chu Xinghe spoke up, "No, that's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause!"
"The method the Grand Elder mentioned still relies on the word 'drawing out'—drawing out the evil fire, then strengthening the body's foundation and nourishing the vital energy. However, the evil fire has now almost merged with Old Master Zhao's Spiritual Qi. Drawing out the evil fire also draws out the Spiritual Qi. If Old Master Zhao loses another portion of his Spiritual Qi, he will definitely become weaker. If the evil fire counterattacks again, even a god cannot save him."
Chu Xinghe's words caused the entire room to change color.
The Grand Elder showed no dissatisfaction at being refuted by Chu Xinghe; on the contrary, his eyes were full of approval as he looked at Chu Xinghe.
Xinghe is indeed an extraordinary child.
At this moment, everyone in the room thought that saving Zhao Zhidong's life was the best priority, but Xinghe was thinking long-term. He not only considered the present but also the Future.
If things really go as I said, things might turn out just like Xinghe predicted.
Wu Qun was furious and pounded his chest as he looked at Chu Xinghe!
Look... they're all disciples, yet the difference is so vast... Chu Xinghe not only saw through everything, but he even anticipated the aftermath.
Then look at his own disciple... Ying'er... stop looking, you are not worthy of Chu Xinghe at all.
And Chen Xuewang, do you know that there's no future in fawning over your junior sister like this? Haven't you heard that simps never get a good ending?
Chu Xinghe waited a long time before the Grand Elder finally spoke, "Then what do you think should be done?"
Chu Xinghe was overjoyed!
Hmph! It's finally my turn to shine.
What do you think we should do?
I think if Old Master Zhao handed it over to me, it would be a complete disaster.
I think we should go for it!
"Attack?"
Everyone was taken aback by Chu Xinghe's words, but since he was the successor of the Medicine Saint, no one dared to say anything more.
"As the saying goes, fight poison with poison. The root cause of Old Zhao's evil fire is a lack of righteous energy. By replenishing his righteous energy, we can forcefully attack and sever the root of the evil fire. Once the evil fire is gone, Old Zhao will be reborn!"
Chu Xinghe is known for his outrageous statements.
At this moment, both the Grand Elder and Wu Qun were deep in thought.
Although Chu Xinghe himself didn't believe what he said, fighting poison with poison is sometimes the most helpless but also the most effective method.
But the key is how to fight poison with poison.
In response, Chu Xinghe said, "If I knew how to fight poison with poison, I would have done it!"
"Speak!" The First Elder stared at Chu Xinghe.
"Uh... Within the Medicine Saint Inheritance, there is a Wuming elixir unknown to the world. Using this elixir to attack the evil fire has a chance of severing it."
Wuming pill?
Upon hearing about the Wuming pill, everyone frowned, but the addition of "Wuming the Medicine Saint Inheritance" immediately elevated its status.
Could it be a elixir that the Medicine Saint didn't have time to reveal to the public back then?
That's definitely true.
"How confident are you?" Wu Qun asked.
"None...50%!"
Chu Xinghe initially wanted to say he wasn't sure, but after thinking about it, he realized that wouldn't do!
If you say you're not confident, why would you even be asked to try?
Moreover, Palace Master Wu Qun is here. What if he says he's not confident? In a moment of excitement, the Grand Elder might say, "Palace Master Wu, please help me send my old friend off on his final journey. After all, Xinghe is still young and has his pride. You're older and not afraid of this!"
The Grand Elder, as the number one mastermind behind the Vast Heaven Sect, is absolutely capable of doing such a thing.
But wouldn't that mean I'd have absolutely no chance to make a move? So, a 50% chance of success and failure sounds pretty reliable, doesn't it?
As for this Wuming pill... Chu Xinghe had already figured out how to refine it.
Given Old Master Zhao's current condition, there is absolutely no way to cure him within the Medicine Saint Inheritance he possesses.
But if you're talking about helping the Grand Elder send off Old Master Zhao, then there are plenty of pills available.
After sifting through numerous pill formulas, Chu Xinghe finally found the most suitable Wuming pill.
Finding this thing is no easy task. Although many of the pills recorded in the Medicine Saint Inheritance are Wuming, the Grand Elder and Palace Master Wu Qun are not to be underestimated.
If I just randomly pick one, what if the other two find out?
When the time comes, I'll see, holy crap, Chu Xinghe, this pill you chose isn't for treating internal heat, it's clearly for treating hemorrhoids!
That brat is asking for death!
Chu Xinghe wasn't worried about being turned to ashes by the Grand Elder after being exposed, but he only had one chance. If he was exposed, he would never be able to personally send Old Master Zhao away again, which would be such a pity.
Therefore, among the many pill formulas, Chu Xinghe found one that the Grand Elder and Palace Master Wu Qun could never possibly know.
Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded after reading the prescription.
Well, this stuff is a tonic, but it's a rather potent tonic.
Everyone knows about the tonics used by Ouyang Qing, the tyrant of brothels.
They have a similar effect!
However, this medicine is much stronger than the one Ouyang Qing has. To put it simply, even Ouyang Qing, the king of brothels who is known for being able to take a whole bottle of tonic at once, would absolutely not be able to withstand this potent medicine!
Let alone eating it, even licking it would kill him again.
If you hold this thing in your hand and smell it, your wife will be terrified when you get home tonight!
Why would such a potent medicine appear in the Medicine Saint Inheritance?
Is this a legitimate way of passing on traditions?
Chu Xinghe gave this medicine an incredibly cool name— the Dick-Blasting Pill!
This medicine is a guaranteed explosion!
Wasn't Old Master Zhao known for his unyielding spirit throughout his life?
After much deliberation, Chu Xinghe concluded that this medicine was the most suitable for the old man.
Imagine an old man who lived a life of unyielding integrity; when he passed away, would he have remained a little more composed and simply asked, "What happened?"
Come with guts! Live with guts! Leave with guts!
This is what a perfect life is!
Grandpa, if you knew the good intentions behind my Chu Xinghe, you would be grateful to my ancestors for eight generations.
So you're the one!
"Fifty percent?" Zhao Yuanzhen had no idea that Chu Xinghe had already made arrangements for the old man, who had always been tough, to leave so toughly. At this moment, she looked anxious.
"Yes, fifty percent. After all, the old man is a Martial Emperor; he should have a fifty percent chance."
Zhao Yuanzhen was overjoyed upon hearing this!
There's a 50% chance! With the old man's strong will, he'll definitely pull through!
"Xinghe, if I may be so bold as to ask, may I reveal the pill formula here? Rest assured, I will only listen to this formula, and will never divulge it to anyone else. Without your permission, if anyone in my Heavenly Medicine Palace dares to refine it, I will personally execute them!"
Wu Qun looked serious.
The Grand Elder nodded, "Speak. Palace Master Wu is a Grandmaster of Medicine, and his word is law."
"Yes... As the saying goes, a fierce fire needs a fierce medicine to fight it. The efficacy of this Wuming pill lies in its 'fierceness,' and the formula also lies in its 'uniqueness.' The medicinal materials required include... Lanqi, Yanghuo, Yueyang grass, Tianjiuzi, Luosheng grass, Mieyin stone... All medicinal materials must be the best of the best for success."
After Chu Xinghe finished speaking, the room fell silent.
Among those present, Wu Qun and the Grand Elder need no further introduction; they are figures of supreme status in the Dao of Medicine.
Little Squirrel and Chen Xuewang are also figures who have surpassed their teachers.
Zhao Lineage of the Old Master Zhao's evil temper, Zhao Yuanzhen has spent a lot of time researching and refining medicine over the years.
Therefore, everyone can understand the explanation of each type of medicinal herb.
Upon hearing Chu Xinghe name all the medicinal herbs, everyone knowledgeable in medicine was stunned.
Are these medicinal herbs... really that potent?
Without a doubt, all the medicinal herbs Chu Xinghe mentioned were extremely potent, absolutely pure and yang. You could eat any one of them without even needing to refine it, and tonight you'd be in charge at the brothel!
So many potent drugs combined... my goodness, are you sure this won't explode?
